"Zheng Qiu!"
Accompanying the furious roar was an old, ghost-like figure. Moreover, the old figure brought a young man with him. In the blink of an eye, they had barged into Ceng Qiu's courtyard without Zheng Qiu's permission.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
An old man and a young man appeared in front of Zheng Qiu and Duan Lingtian almost at the same time.
Duan Lingtian was familiar with the young man who was brought in by the old man. It was Zhou Fei whom he had severely injured half a year ago.
As for the old man …
"Zhou Tong?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes landed on the old man. He noticed that the old man looked ordinary and did not seem like an evil person. However, at this moment, his eyes and face were filled with anger.
After Zheng Qiu's reminder, Duan Lingtian realized this.
The old man in front of him was the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's Mansion, Zhou Tong!
"Duan Lingtian!"
When Zhou Fei was brought here by Zhou Tong, he immediately noticed Duan Lingtian. He glared at Duan Lingtian furiously. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He looked like a venomous snake that could not wait to bite and poison Duan Lingtian to death!
"Duan Lingtian?"
Zhou Tong, who had been looking at Zheng Qiu the moment he appeared, shifted his gaze from Zheng Qiu to Duan Lingtian when he heard Zhou Fei's angry shout.
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
Zhou Tong's gloomy expression darkened further.
"Elder Zheng Qiu, who is this?"
Duan Ling Tian turned a blind eye to Zhou Fei and Zhou Tong's hostile gazes. He asked Zheng Qiu who was standing next to him even though he already knew the answer.
"He's Revered Elder Zhou Tong, Zhou Fei's godfather."
Zheng Qiu replied.
"So it's Revered Elder Zhou Tong."
Duan Lingtian finally understood.
Soon after, his gaze once again turned towards Zhou Tong, sizing him up ….
He was very interested in Liu Feng Gu, the City Lord of Bloody Specter City, who was the number one Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate.
"Duan Ling Tian, now that you've become my direct disciple, the matter of you heavily injuring Fei 'er half a year ago has been written off. From now on, the matter between you and Fei' er is written off! At that time, you and Fei 'er will no longer be enemies, but fellow disciples. "
Suddenly, the gloomy expression on Zhou Tong's face disappeared without any warning and was replaced by a faint smile. The moment he opened his mouth, he directly stated that he wanted to take Duan Lingtian as his personal disciple.
He also promised that if Duan Lingtian became his disciple, he would no longer make things difficult for Duan Lingtian, and Zhou Fei would no longer make things difficult for Duan Lingtian.
Almost at the same time Zhou Tong's voice fell.
An expression of 'as expected' appeared on Zheng Qiu's face. It was clear he had already guessed this would happen.
Duan Lingtian's expression remained calm, but inwardly, he felt even more disgusted with Zhou Tong.
As expected, Zhou Tong was not much different from the rumors.
"Godfather!"
Unlike Duan Lingtian and Zheng Qiu, Zhou Fei's expression changed drastically when he heard Zhou Tong's promise to Duan Lingtian. At the same time, he became anxious.
The thing he was worried about the most had happened.
"Shut up!"
Zhou Tong, who was waiting for Duan Lingtian's reply, turned to glare at Zhou Fei when he heard Zhou Fei's voice. Zhou Fei was so frightened that he did not even dare to breathe loudly, let alone speak.
"Revered Elder Zhou Tong."
Under Zhou Tong's slightly expectant gaze, Duan Ling Tian had a calm expression as he said in an indifferent tone, "First of all, thank you for your kindness."
Secondly, I already have a master … So, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Revered Elder Zhou Tong. "
Duan Ling Tian directly rejected Zhou Tong's offer.
"You can come under my tutelage."
Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes as a cold light flashed across them. He raised his voice and spoke in an overbearing manner.
"Impossible."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I won't betray my master."
"Duan Lingtian, it's your blessing that my godfather has taken a fancy to you … Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Just as Zhou Tong's expression darkened again and became incomparably ugly, Zhou Fei, whose eyes flashed with joy, pretended to be angry as he looked at Duan Lingtian and coldly shouted.
His words sounded more like he was standing up for his godfather.
"Duan Lingtian."
Zhou Tong's eyes gleamed coldly as he stared at Duan Lingtian and said, "Don't think that it's over just because Zheng Qiu took the blame for what happened six months ago … Let me tell you, even Zheng Qiu can't protect himself today!
Let alone you! "
Zhou Tong's tone became heavier when he reached the end of his sentence.
"Elder Zheng Qiu can't protect himself?"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Duan Lingtian instinctively turned to look at Zheng Qiu who was next to him. He saw Zheng Qiu standing at the side calmly. His expression did not change at all because of Zhou Tong's words.
"Hurmph!"
Following Duan Lingtian's gaze, Zhou Tong also noticed Zheng Qiu's calmness. He was instantly enraged as he shouted, "Zheng Qiu, don't you think you owe me an explanation for taking the blame for this Duan Lingtian six months ago?
If you don't give me an explanation, you should know what I'm capable of. "
A hint of killing intent flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes as he spoke.
"Elder Zhou Tong, you shouldn't ask me for an explanation for this matter … After all, I was only following orders," Zheng Qiu said indifferently.
Zhou Tong frowned.
"Whose orders?!"
Zhou Tong asked sternly.
However, he seemed to have forgotten about it.
In the County Governor's estate, the only other person who could order Zheng Qiu around was the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
"My orders."
Just as Zhou Tong's body was emitting waves of killing intent, as if he could directly attack and kill Zheng Qiu at any moment, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out. It seemed to have come from all directions, making it difficult for one to determine the source of the voice.
Whoosh!
A moment later, as if a gust of wind had blown past, another figure appeared in the courtyard where Zheng Qiu lived.
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure.
The figure that seemed to have appeared out of thin air in the courtyard was a tall middle-aged man wearing a silver robe embroidered with a silver dragon. He had a square face and a determined expression. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His body emitted waves of majestic aura.
"So this is Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian finally figured out the middle-aged man's identity.
"Lord County Governor!"
As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, Zheng Qiu hurriedly bowed respectfully to him. Even Zhou Fei, who was standing behind Zhou Tong, bowed respectfully in a somewhat panicked manner.
Only Duan Lingtian and Zhou Tong did not move at all.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Right at this moment, Zhou Tong abruptly glared at Duan Ling Tian and shouted coldly, "You actually dare to not greet the County Governor when you see him … Are you looking down on the County Governor? Do you know you've committed the crime of being disrespectful to the County Governor?! "
"Revered Elder Zhou Tong, you didn't greet him as well, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Zhou Tong indifferently.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Tong snorted coldly and raised his arrogant head. "Lord Prefectural Governor said many years ago that I don't need to bow when I see him … How can a brat like you who is still wet behind the ears be compared to me? When I, Zhou Tong, made great contributions to the County Governor's estate and Nine Specters County, you weren't even born yet!
Duan Lingtian, how dare you disrespect the County Governor? As the first Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate, it's my duty to punish you! "
As soon as Zhou Tong finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body. His right arm trembled as he lashed out at Duan Ling Tian like a ferocious python. His palm seemed to carry the force of a thousand catties as it shot toward Duan Ling Tian.
Zhou Tong's palm contained the profundity of a Celestial Method and Divine Ability. It was as powerful as a thousand catties of lightning. It did not seem like it was meant to punish Duan Lingtian, but it seemed more like it was meant to kill Duan Lingtian!
When Zhou Tong's palm shot toward Duan Lingtian, killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Swoosh!
It did not cross Duan Ling Tian's mind that Zhou Tong would try to kill him. His expression changed completely, and his eyes gleamed coldly. The temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees as far as his eyes could see.
Duan Lingtian was about to circulate his Celestial Origin Energy to block Zhou Tong's palm that was filled with killing intent.
"Humph!"
Accompanied by an earth-shaking cold snort, a dragon-like power whizzed over from the side. In the blink of an eye, it blocked Zhou Tong's thunder-like palm.
Bang!
The dragon-like power collided with the power of Zhou Tong's palm, creating an earth-shattering explosion. A small mushroom cloud blossomed. The rolling Qi waves slammed into the air, creating gusts of wind.
After Zhou Tong's palm was blocked, he did not attack again because he did not dare to!
The person who had blocked his attack was none other than Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, who had not made a sound since he had appeared.
"Lord County Governor?"
Zhou Tong looked at Tian Ji Yu with a hint of fear in his eyes. He did not expect the County Governor of Nine Specters County would make a move against him for the sake of a young powerhouse that they had recently recruited.
He originally thought that his palm strike would be able to kill Duan Ling Tian, who refused to become his disciple, to avenge his adopted son, and to vent his anger for himself.
He did not expect Tian Ji Yu would make a move against him.
"Revered Elder Zhou Tong."
Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, finally spoke.
He looked at Zhou Tong and said indifferently, "Six months ago, I was the one who ordered Elder Zheng Qiu to take the blame …"
"What? Do you have a problem with that? "
Tian Ji Yu asked.
