'The Celestial Origin Energy of a Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial is indeed much stronger than a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial …'
After becoming a Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial, Duan Lingtian could clearly feel the changes in his Celestial Origin Energy.
The changes in his Celestial Origin Energy could not be compared to the changes in his Celestial Origin Energy when he broke through to become a Heavenly Celestial.
"However, I don't know how long I spent in seclusion this time."
Although Duan Ling Tian had successfully broken through and become a Golden Celestial, he did not know how long he had been cultivating since it was impossible for him to keep track of time while he was cultivating.
'I don't know how long I spent in closed-door cultivation, but I'm certain it wasn't a short period of time. How strange. I broke Zhou Fei's limbs and severely injured him, breaking the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss. Why didn't anyone question me?'
When Duan Ling Tian had defeated Zhou Fei, severed his limbs, and seized the stone chamber in the deepest part of the Latent Dragon Abyss that originally belonged to Zhou Fei, he was already prepared for someone to denounce him.
After all, he had broken the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss.
Moreover, Zhou Fei was the godson of Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate.
However, he did not expect his breakthrough to the Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial stage would not be interrupted at all. It was as though the incident of him crippling Zhou Fei's limbs did not happen at all.
'What's going on?'
Duan Lingtian left the stone chamber in the deepest part of the Latent Dragon Abyss and appeared in front of a few young men who had just come out of another stone chamber.
These young men saw Duan Lingtian when he came out of the stone chamber and saw Duan Lingtian.
"It's Duan Lingtian! He's out of closed-door cultivation! "
"He finally came out of closed-door cultivation after half a year. What's more surprising is that the matter from half a year ago has come to an end."
"Come to an end? Based on what I know, it's not necessarily the end. It's said that Revered Elder Zhou Tong has been in closed-door cultivation since half a year ago, and he hasn't come out yet. That's why he didn't intervene in the matter. If he comes out of seclusion, even if it's been half a year, he won't let it go! "
"That's right. As for the incident half a year ago, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to determine that it was Elder Zheng Qiu who intentionally took the blame and protected this Duan Lingtian … If Revered Elder Zhou Tong comes out of his closed door cultivation, he would surely not let Elder Zheng Qiu and Duan Lingtian off so easily. "
…
A few young men looked at Duan Lingtian from afar and whispered to each other.
Although their whispers were not loud, they were clearly heard by Duan Lingtian.
For a moment, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be stunned.
"What happened half a year ago? Is it because I broke Zhou Fei's limbs and severely injured him, breaking the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss? "
"That Zhou Tong just so happens to be in closed-door cultivation? It's no wonder they didn't look for trouble with me … However, they said that Elder Zheng Qiu intentionally took the blame to protect me. What's going on? "
Regarding this, Duan Lingtian was extremely puzzled.
"What do all of you mean by that?"
In just a flash, Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of the young men who were whispering to each other like a ghost, causing horror to appear on their faces.
Duan Lingtian asked calmly, "All of you said that Elder Zheng Qiu intentionally took the blame to protect me. What do all of you mean by that?"
Initially, the young men thought that Duan Lingtian was angry because he heard their whispers and wanted to find trouble with them. Due to this reason, their expressions changed immediately.
However, in the face of Duan Lingtian's question, and when they saw that Duan Lingtian did not have the slightest trace of anger on his face, they sighed in relief.
However, in the face of Duan Lingtian's question, they did not dare to be negligent. They quickly explained everything to Duan Lingtian so that Duan Lingtian would know that he had been in closed-door cultivation for half a year.
Apart from that, it also allowed Duan Ling Tian to know the reason why the incident from half a year ago was so peaceful and nobody came looking for him to denounce him for his crimes.
As it turned out, it was all because of Elder Zheng Qiu!
"Elder Zheng Qiu actually said that he didn't tell me about the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss. That's why I broke Zhou Fei's limbs and severely injured him without knowing the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss? That's why I broke the rules set by the County Governor of Nine Specters County?"
A slight frown appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face. "However, doesn't Elder Zheng Qiu know that by doing this, he'll offend Zhou Tong? Isn't he afraid that Zhou Tong will look for trouble with him? "
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he left the Latent Dragon Abyss. He began to search for Zheng Qiu, the inner mansion elder, based on his memories from half a year ago.
"Duan Lingtian … You've come out of closed-door cultivation?"
Zheng Qiu was slightly surprised when he saw Duan Lingtian.
He had heard that Duan Lingtian had not left the stone chamber in the depths of the Latent Dragon Abyss and had been in closed-door cultivation for the past six months.
It was precisely because of this that he asked this question when he saw Duan Ling Tian had come looking for him.
As for the reason why Duan Ling Tian came looking for him, he could naturally guess it.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He could not help but sigh. "I can't believe I spent half a year in closed-door cultivation …"
"That's how cultivation works."
Zheng Qiu smiled. "You've only spent half a year in closed-door cultivation … I once spent more than ten years in closed-door cultivation. As the saying goes, 'Cultivation knows no time.'
"What I didn't expect was that you, Elder Zheng Qiu, actually took the blame for me half a year ago."
Duan Lingtian looked at Zheng Qiu solemnly and said, "Elder Zheng Qiu, I know you did that out of goodwill … However, have you ever thought that Zhou Tong would come looking for trouble with you once he comes out of closed-door cultivation and finds out about what happened half a year ago?"
"Duan Lingtian, do you think I took the blame for you half a year ago to return the favor I owed you when we were on our way to the County City from Bloody Specter City?"
Zheng Qiu asked.
"Isn't that the case?"
Duan Ling Tian replied with a question.
"Of course not!"
Zheng Qiu shook his head and said, "After you came to the County Governor's estate, I told you that I'll ask the County Governor to help you when Revered Elder Zhou Tong insists on taking you as his direct disciple so that you won't be harmed by him. That way, I'll be able to return the favor I owe you.
In other words, from the moment I sent you to the Latent Dragon Abyss, the favor between us has been repaid. "
Zheng Qiu continued to speak.
Duan Lingtian recalled Zheng Qiu had told him this before he left to look for the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
"Since we already owe each other a favor, why did you take the blame for me, Elder Zheng Qiu?"
Duan Lingtian was even more confused.
He had a feeling this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
If Zheng Qiu did not think he owed Duan Lingtian a favor, he would not take the risk of offending Zhou Tong to help Duan Lingtian.
After all, he and this Elder Zheng Qiu could only be considered to be acquaintances.
"I can tell you this later …" Zheng Qiu said.
Zheng Qiu looked at Duan Lingtian and asked, "I'm more curious … Why did you insist on breaking Zhou Fei's limbs and injuring him when you knew about the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss?
You should know that not only did you offend Zhou Fei's foster father, Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate, but you also offended the County Governor who set the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss!
"You're playing with fire by doing that!"
I'm really curious … Why did you do that? Didn't you think about the consequences? "
As Zheng Qiu spoke, he continued to probe further.
"Why did I do that?"
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard Zheng Qiu's words. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "I was merely giving him a taste of his own medicine. If it wasn't for Zhou Fei threatening to sever my limbs, I wouldn't have bothered to sever his limbs!"
"It's … It's that simple?"
Zheng Qiu looked at Duan Lingtian in disbelief. "You … You broke his limbs and injured him just because he threatened you?"
"Threatened you?"
Duan Ling Tian smirked when he heard Zheng Qiu's words. "Elder Zheng Qiu, it's only because I'm stronger than him that day. If I'm weaker than him, I'm certain the person who would have his limbs severed would have been me instead of him!"
"Even if that's the case, you're too rash!"
Zheng Qiu shook his head and said, "According to the rules of the Latent Dragon Abyss, the challenger can't injure the person being challenged. However, the person being challenged can injure the challenger. In other words, he can break your limbs without destroying them. However, you can't do that! "
"I couldn't care less about the situation at that time."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
Based on Duan Ling Tian's words, he had completely portrayed himself as a reckless man who did not care about the consequences.
However, was that really the case?
In fact, he had already thought of the consequences when he broke Zhou Fei's limbs and injured him.
However, he still did it.
He had thought of a way to protect himself from Zhou Tong and the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
Just as Duan Lingtian was about to speak to Zheng Qiu, a figure in the Latent Dragon Abyss flew over from the Latent Dragon Abyss.
Tens of thousands of miles to the north of the County City of Nine Specters County, an old figure flew across the sky. With a sway of his body, he seemed to have traveled a great distance.
The figure was getting closer and closer to the County City of Nine Specters County. It was obvious he was heading to the County City of Nine Specters County.
"Duan Lingtian who injured Fei 'er is from Bloody Specter City?"
The old man's eyes glinted coldly as he muttered to himself. His voice was so cold that it seemed as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped a few degrees.
"And that Zheng Qiu … How dare he take the blame for Duan Lingtian? He's seeking death!"
Based on the old man's muttering, it was obvious who he was.
Zhou Tong!
The First Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County!
