"Is this … important?"
Qin Yu was taken aback when he heard Duan Lingtian's question. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian intently as a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Following that, Qin Yu smiled faintly before he replied to Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission.
"It's not important."
Qin Yu's reply ended the conversation.
'This Qin Yu is not a simple person.'
As soon as Duan Lingtian saw the strange light in Qin Yu's eyes, he knew Qin Yu was right.
Qin Yu was certain Duan Lingtian had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven half a year ago. At the same time, Duan Lingtian must have guessed the reason Qin Yu was so strong.
Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian, and Duan Lingtian did not encounter any bandits on their way to the County City of Nine Specters County after encountering the Black and White Heroes.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by this.
With the presence of Zheng Qiu, a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, the bandits with weaker cultivation bases did not dare to provoke him when they sensed his cultivation base from afar.
Even a bandit organization with a Violet Sun Golden Celestial would not dare to take the risk.
Only the Black and White Heroes, who were led by two Violet Sun Golden Immortals, would act rashly when they discovered that there was only one Violet Sun Golden Immortal among the passersby in order to reap the greatest benefits.
Unfortunately, the Black and White Heroes met their match this time and were completely annihilated.
Three months later.
"The County City of Nine Specters County is just up ahead."
Suddenly, Zheng Qiu's voice resonated in Duan Ling Tian's ears. Duan Ling Tian's heart jolted when he heard this.
"We've arrived at the County City of Nine Specters County?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and looked in front of him.
What entered his eyes was an incomparably vast plain. His field of vision suddenly opened up.
On this vast plain, a small black dot was constantly growing larger before his eyes. In the end, it seemed to have turned into a huge beast that was crawling on the vast land.
"This is the County City of Nine Specters County?"
At the same time, the outline of the County City of Nine Specters County appeared in front of Duan Lingtian.
This was a huge city that was ten times the size of Bloody Specter City. Not only was it visually stunning, but one could also feel the majestic aura of this huge city even when standing in front of it.
The gigantic city was grand and majestic, allowing carriages and horses to flow into it like a dragon. It was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu followed behind Zheng Qiu as they flew through the air above the Nine Specters County. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the Nine Specters County.
At this time, Duan Lingtian also realized that the number of people around him had increased.
Many people were shuttling back and forth above the County City in a hurry. Only a few of them were talking to the people around them. Very few of them were hovering in the air.
"Three months … I didn't expect it to take so long to travel from Bloody Specter City to Nine Specters County."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
Of course, he also knew that the reason why he spent three months was mostly because Zheng Qiu was taking care of his and Qin Yu's speed. As for him, he also had to take care of Qin Yu's speed. His speed was completely based on Qin Yu's speed.
'If I travel at full speed, even if I don't use the Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, I'll only need half a month to travel from Bloody Specter City to Nine Specters County's capital!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"This must be your first time in the County City, right?"
Zheng Qiu turned to look at Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu after they entered the city.
Seeing that the two of them nodded, Zheng Qiu began to introduce the County City of Nine Specters County to Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu.
Before they arrived at the County Governor's Mansion, Zheng Qiu also introduced Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu to the County City of Nine Specters County.
In the County City of Nine Specters County, the County Governor's Mansion was the most powerful family.
However, there were many clans and forces under the County Governor's Mansion.
These family clans were affiliated with the County Governor's Office and managed almost all of the properties in the County City of Nine Specters County. Every month, they had to pay half of their profits to the County Governor's Office, which was equivalent to paying taxes to the County Governor's Office.
"Among these clans and forces, the Five Great Clans are the strongest. My Zheng Clan is also one of the Five Great Clans."
A hint of pride appeared on Zheng Qiu's face when he spoke up to this point.
Although Zheng Qiu had helped the Zheng Clan a lot, the Zheng Clan had not been able to make it this far.
However, if the Zheng Clan did not live up to expectations, they would not have been able to make it this far even with Zheng Qiu's help.
For example, in the County Governor's Mansion, there was an inner mansion elder who was widely acknowledged as the strongest Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County. Even with the help of the inner mansion elder, the clan of the inner mansion elder was still useless.
That was because the family members behind that Inner Mansion Elder were all worthless people who couldn't hold up the wall.
In the County City of Nine Specters County, the strength of a clan depended on many factors. It was not as simple as having a strong fist.
No matter how strong one's fist was, could it be stronger than the County Governor's Mansion?
"We've arrived at the County Governor's Mansion."
Soon after, under Zheng Qiu's lead, Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu arrived at the eastern side of the County City of Nine Specters County. They arrived at an inner city that resembled a palace. It was magnificent with golden tiles and red bricks.
"This is the County Governor's Mansion?"
Duan Ling Tian and Qin Yu could not help but fall into a daze as they looked at the inner city that occupied more than half of the County City's eastern city.
The inner city alone was twice the size of Bloody Specter City.
"There's a rule in the County Governor's Mansion. Those below the level of Great Overarching Golden Celestial are not allowed to enter or leave the mansion without permission. Otherwise, they'll be punished severely!"
Zheng Qiu did not forget to remind Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu when they arrived near the entrance of the County Governor's Mansion.
Duan Lingtian looked over when he heard Zheng Qiu's words.
Sure enough, he saw many people.
Although there were many people entering and exiting the County Governor's Mansion, they were all obediently moving through the entrance. Not a single person dared to cross the walls of the County Governor's Mansion.
It was as though there was a taboo on the walls that could not be crossed.
"Elder Zheng Qiu."
Duan Ling Tian and Qin Yu followed behind Zheng Qiu. When they arrived at the entrance of the County Governor's estate, two rows of golden-armored soldiers stood on both sides of the entrance and bowed respectfully at Zheng Qiu.
"Elder Zheng Qiu."
It was not only the soldiers guarding the entrance of the County Governor's Mansion. Even the people entering and exiting the County Governor's Mansion greeted Zheng Qiu respectfully.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by this.
After all, Zheng Qiu was an inner court elder of the County Governor's Mansion.
Apart from that, Zheng Qiu was the second most powerful person in Nine Specters County below Great Overarching Golden Celestials.
In other words …
If the strongest person in Nine Specters County below Great Overarching Golden Celestials was in the County Governor's Mansion, then Zheng Qiu would be the fourth most powerful person in the County Governor's Mansion after the two Great Overarching Golden Celestials and a peak Golden Celestial.
How many people in the County Governor's Mansion would dare to disrespect such a person?
"Have the other inner court elders returned?"
Zheng Qiu asked one of the soldiers in golden armor who was guarding the entrance of the County Governor's Mansion.
"Reporting to Elder Zheng Qiu, before you, the other eight Inner Mansion Elders have already returned."
The golden-armored soldier quickly replied.
"It seems like Bloody Specter City is the furthest away from the County City of Nine Specters County …"
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to figure this out when he heard the golden-armored soldier's words.
Naturally, he knew the other inner court elders Zheng Qiu was asking about were the ones who had gone to the other eight cities in Nine Specters County.
"Alright."
Zheng Qiu nodded at the golden-armored soldier and strode into the Prefectural Governor's Residence.
Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu followed behind Zheng Qiu without being stopped.
"Are they the people Elder Zheng Qiu went to pick up this time?"
"Which city did Elder Zheng Qiu go to pick up the people in Nine Specters County this time? I think I heard someone mention it before … However, I forgot about it. "
"I think Elder Zheng Qiu went to Bloody Specter City!"
"Bloody Specter City? Is that the city that Lord Liu Feng Gu is in charge of? "
"That's the city! It's also the city furthest away from the County City … I really don't know why Lord Liu Feng Gu left the County Governor's Mansion and went to such a faraway city to be the city governor. "
"I heard there's more to this matter than meets the eye."
…
When Duan Ling Tian crossed the main entrance of the County Governor's Estate and entered the County Governor's Estate, he could only hear whispers behind him.
"Humph!"
When Zheng Qiu snorted coldly, the people behind him shuddered like birds that were startled by the twang of a bow. Then, they stopped talking and did not dare to speak anymore.
"It seems … the city governor was a famous person in the County Governor's Mansion in the past. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who remember him."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Elder Zheng Qiu … the city governor of Bloody Specter City used to stay in the County Governor's Mansion?"
Qin Yu asked in surprise. Clearly, he did not know about this matter beforehand.
"Yes."
Faced with Qin Yu's question, Zheng Qiu nodded. "In the past, City Master Liu was an outstanding strategist beside Lord County Governor … however, because of some matters, he left the County Governor's mansion and went to the Bloody Specter City."
"What matters?"
Qin Yu was curious.
He could not understand why the city governor of Bloody Specter City, Liu Feng Gu, was willing to leave the County Governor's Mansion and go to Bloody Specter City.
One must know that compared to the flourishing County City of Nine Specters County, Bloody Specter City was a desolate place.
"It's not convenient for me to tell you the details."
Zheng Qiu shook his head. Then, he seemed to have recalled something. He suddenly turned around and looked at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, if … I'm saying if. If a Consecrated by the name of Zhou Tong wants to take you as his disciple, you must not refuse! "
