"What?!"
"Duan Lingtian isn't even 100 years old?"
"If he really ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven not long ago, doesn't that mean he was born in the mundane realm less than 100 years ago? He ascended after cultivating for less than 100 years? "
"Isn't it rare to see someone like that?"
"Of course it's rare! Even among 10,000 ascenders … No, even among 100,000 ascenders, there might not even be one such person! "
"Bloody Specter City is such a small place. How could such a person ascend? Why does it sound so unrealistic? "
…
In the Silverwyrm Army's camp. The Silverwyrm Army's soldiers were shocked when they heard the news.
Apart from the Centurions and Decurions of the Silverwyrm Army who had seen Duan Ling Tian with their own eyes, many people began to doubt Duan Ling Tian's identity. They doubted Duan Ling Tian was someone who had ascended to the Celestial Ascension Pool under the Silverwyrm Army's jurisdiction.
"Duan Lingtian … He's not even 100 years old? Lord Commander actually reserved a spot for him to go to the County Governor's estate? "
Miao Lai Long, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, was horrified when he heard the news.
He had heard about the City Governor of Bloody Specter City sending two people to the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County. However, he was unaware that the City Governor of Bloody Specter City had reserved one of the spots for Duan Ling Tian.
'Is the City Governor doing this to curry favor with Duan Lingtian so he'll willingly hand over his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities?'
Miao Lai Long began to waver at this moment.
Even if the City Governor wanted to curry favor with Duan Lingtian, there was no need to give him a spot, right?
If Duan Lingtian did not hand over his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities before going to the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County, it would be extremely difficult for the City Governor to obtain his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities after he went to the County Governor's estate.
'This won't do … I have to ask the City Governor about this!'
As soon as this thought appeared in Miao Lai Long's mind, he left the Silverwyrm Army's camp and went to the City Governor's estate to look for Liu Feng Gu.
When Miao Lai Long expressed his doubts about Liu Feng Gu's actions …
"Lai Long."
In the main hall, Liu Feng Gu who was sitting at the head of the table looked at Miao Lai Long indifferently and said, "I'll be honest with you … I have no intention of asking Duan Ling Tian to hand over his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities."
"You've been my subordinate for many years, so I hope you won't have such thoughts. Duan Lingtian has an unruly and stubborn character. Even if you kill him, it is very unlikely that he will hand over the immortal techniques and divine abilities he has mastered. "
"Among a hundred thousand ascenders, it's hard to find someone like him who's not even a hundred years old … His future is limitless! Rather than destroy such a person, it's better to befriend him. "
"What do you think?
When Liu Feng Gu finished speaking, he looked at Miao Lai Long meaningfully. A hint of threat could be seen in his eyes.
Miao Lai Long's heart sank. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to show it. "You're right, Lord City Governor."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Miao Lai Long bade farewell and left the main hall. He left the City Governor's estate and Bloody Specter City and returned to the Silverwyrm Army's camp.
Miao Lai Long had come to Bloody Specter City alone.
When he returned, he brought his sister, Miao Lai Feng, who was in Lai Feng Restaurant with him.
After returning to the Silverwyrm Army's camp, Miao Lai Long summoned his brother-in-law, Captain Yang Kong Ping, to see him.
Yang Kong Ping, who had lost an arm, could only rely on one leg to stand. His face was slightly pale, and he no longer had his previous high spirits. However, in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a bone-deep hatred hidden at all times.
"Brother … Why did you call me back?"
Miao Lai Feng asked curiously as she looked at her brother.
"Things have changed … Lord City Governor has no intention of taking Duan Lingtian's Celestial Spells and Divine Abilities. I've made the wrong move. "
Miao Lai Long said in a deep voice.
"What?!"
As soon as Miao Lai Long finished speaking, Miao Lai Feng and Yang Kong Ping's expressions changed.
After all, they were counting on the City Lord of Bloody Specter City to obtain Duan Lingtian's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities to avenge them.
According to Miao Lai Long, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City was a cautious person. Once he obtained the Duan Lingtian's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, he would definitely eliminate the Duan Lingtian from this world.
But now, Miao Lai Long was telling them:
The City Governor of Bloody Specter City had no intention of taking Duan Lingtian's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities?
"Rumor has it that Lord City Governor has already given one of the two places to go to the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County to Duan Lingtian. Initially, I thought he was just trying to placate Duan Lingtian so that Duan Lingtian would hand over the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. However, brother, you're saying Lord City Governor has no intention of taking Duan Lingtian's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. Does he really intend to send Duan Lingtian to the County Governor's estate? "
Yang Kong Ping asked in a deep voice as he looked at Miao Lai Long.
When there were outsiders around, he would address Miao Lai Long as Lord Commander. However, in private, he would address Miao Lai Long as brother, just like his wife.
"Yes, he intends to send Duan Lingtian to the County Governor's estate. Based on his words, it seems like he's trying to befriend Duan Lingtian."
Miao Lai Long nodded.
"Befriend Duan Lingtian?"
Yang Kong Ping's expression darkened. "Is it possible that Duan Lingtian is really a transcender who's not even 100 years old yet?"
"Although I don't want to believe it, it's the truth."
Miao Lai Long nodded again. "Based on Miao Lai Long's words, it seems like he has a thorough understanding of Duan Lingtian. He knows Duan Lingtian is someone who would rather die than hand over the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. For this reason, he chose to befriend Duan Lingtian while Duan Lingtian is still weak!"
"Brother, are we just going to let this matter rest? Can we only watch as Duan Lingtian rises from Bloody Specter City and heads to the County City of Nine Specters County? It'll be even more difficult for us to deal with him after he heads to the County City of Nine Specters County. "
Miao Lai Feng's expression was filled with reluctance.
"Naturally, we can't just let this matter rest."
Miao Lai Long said in a deep voice, "However, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop Duan Lingtian from heading to the County City of Nine Specters County. The only thing we can do now is to stay in Bloody Specter City and the Silverwyrm Army's camp.
I've worked for Lord City Governor for many years, and I know his character very well. Since he has decided to befriend Duan Lingtian, he definitely won't let us harm Duan Lingtian. "
Miao Lai Long paused for a moment before he said, "From now on, all of you must stay calm. Once Duan Lingtian heads to the County City of Nine Specters County, we'll think of a way to spread the news that Duan Lingtian has mastered a heaven-grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability to the County City of Nine Specters County.
At that time, even Duan Lingtian won't be able to live peacefully in the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County. "
"Isn't he stubborn and unruly? He'd rather die than hand over his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, right? We can use someone else to force him to his death! "
Miao Lai Long's eyes flashed coldly when he finished speaking. It was as though he had transformed into a poisonous snake as he stared at Duan Lingtian.
"Brother, you're wise."
Miao Lai Feng and Yang Kong Ping's eyes lit up when they heard Miao Lai Feng's words. Their eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.
…
Four months passed in just a blink of an eye.
At this moment, the people in Bloody Specter City and the soldiers from the Black Dragon Army and the Silverwyrm Army had shifted their attention to the City Governor's estate.
Today was the day the City Governor's estate would be holding an arena for the Golden Celestials below the age of 100 from the Black Dragon Army, the Silverwyrm Army, and the Golden Serpent Guards.
The person who became the arena champion would be able to leave Bloody Specter City and head to the County City of Nine Specters County in a month's time.
"Unfortunately, only centurions of the Black Dragon Army and the Silverwyrm Army can enter the City Governor's estate to watch the battle. We won't be able to see the Golden Celestials below the age of 100 from the Black Dragon Army, the Silverwyrm Army, and the Golden Serpent Guards."
Many people in Bloody Specter City sighed in disappointment.
"Don't worry. It's said that Lord City Governor will use a Floating Image Pearl to record the entire battle. At that time, the recording will be played in the central square of Bloody Specter City for a month. "
"Floating Image Pearl? Is that the low-grade Celestial Artifact that has the same effect as a Floating Image Celestial Talisman but can only be used once? "
"That's right."
…
After learning that the City Governor of Bloody Specter City would use a low-grade Celestial Artifact, the Floating Image Pearl, to record the battle in the central square of Bloody Specter City, many people began to look forward to it.
At the same time, a large group of people had also gathered in the City Governor's estate.
Naturally, most of them were centurions of the Black Dragon Army and the Silverwyrm Army who were here to watch the battle.
"There are three people from the Black Dragon Army participating in the battle today … Captain Zhao Dong Xing, Captain Qin Yu, and Centurion Xue Lang."
Tong Zheng, a centurion of the Black Dragon Army who was Duan Lingtian's subordinate, had also arrived. He looked at the people standing in the arena and said to another centurion of the Black Dragon Army next to him, "Look at the Silverwyrm Army … There are only two people from the Silverwyrm Army."
There were only two people from the Silverwyrm Army participating in the battle today.
This was because there were only two Golden Celestials below the age of 100 in the Silverwyrm Army.
"Five people from the Golden Serpent Guards are here …"
Although there were more natives of Devata Realms who were below the age of 100 who were Golden Celestials compared to ascendants, the number of natives who were Golden Celestials was much higher.
However, in a small place like Bloody Specter City, there were only a limited number of such people.
"Let's begin."
Soon after, Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, arrived. After everyone bowed respectfully to him, he announced in a loud voice.
The ten people in the arena began to compete with each other.
It was a free-for-all. The last person standing on the stage would be the champion of today's competition. He would be able to accompany the envoy of the County Governor's estate to the County Governor's estate in the County Governor's estate in the County Governor's estate in the County Governor's estate.
Half an hour later, the results were out.
"H-he's the last one standing?"
"H-how's it possible?!"
