After obtaining a bottle of Hidden Spirit Pills from Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, and two bottles of Spirit Accumulating Pills from Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's Mansion, Duan Lingtian returned to cultivating.
Now, the two Great Overarching Golden Celestials in Nine Specters County wanted him to improve his cultivation base as soon as possible.
He wanted to improve his cultivation base as soon as possible as well.
It could be said that they were in agreement.
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew very well that Duan Lingtian and Zhou Tong were the First Revered Elders.
Tian Ji Yu, Zhou Tong, and him were just taking what they wanted.
"The Martial Competition of the 16 Counties … King Qin's Mansion will reward the Mediocre Celestial Pills, the Great Overarching Pills, to those who rank in the top three. I wonder what kind of reward King Qin's Mansion will give to those who rank in the top three? "
After returning to the stone chamber in the deepest part of the Latent Dragon Abyss, Duan Lingtian was very curious about this matter.
Although he was curious, he was also looking forward to it.
Duan Lingtian consumed the primitive Celestial Pill, the Hidden Spirit Pill, and immersed himself in cultivating.
Whoosh!
The sound of wind whistling rang in the air as a person walked out of the stone chamber on the second to last level of the Latent Dragon Abyss. After leaving the Latent Dragon Abyss, he went straight to one of the courtyards in the County Governor's Mansion.
This person was none other than Zhou Fei!
After leaving the Latent Dragon Abyss, Zhou Fei immediately went to look for his foster father, Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's Mansion in Nine Specters County.
"Foster father!"
Zhou Fei bowed respectfully when he saw Zhou Tong again.
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Tong raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Zhou Fei lazily.
Compared to before, his current attitude towards Zhou Fei had imperceptibly changed quite a bit.
In the past, he had taken Zhou Fei as his foster son because of Zhou Fei's innate talent.
However, Zhou Fei's innate talent paled in comparison to Duan Lingtian who came from Bloody Specter City. Therefore, he was disappointed in his foster son and was no longer as enthusiastic about him as before.
Zhou Fei also felt this.
"Duan Lingtian …"
Because of this, Zhou Fei now hated Duan Lingtian so much that he gnashed his teeth.
"Foster father, I want to go out for a while … I want to ask you to send one of the Inner Mansion Elders out with me."
Although he hated Duan Lingtian so much that he was gnashing his teeth, Zhou Fei did not dare to show it.
That was because he knew that Duan Lingtian's position in his foster father's eyes was already higher than his foster son's.
"Where do you want to go?"
Zhou Tong's eyes flashed as he asked.
"I don't know yet … I just want to go out and gain experience."
Zhou Fei said.
Now, even Zhou Fei's position in Zhou Tong's eyes was not as high as Duan Lingtian's.
However, Zhou Fei was still Zhou Tong's adopted son.
Therefore, Zhou Tong did not refuse Zhou Fei's request. Very soon, he gave the order for an inner mansion elder of the County Governor's Mansion to accompany Zhou Fei and protect him.
After Zhou Fei and the inner-estate elder left the County City of Nine Specters County, they seemed to be heading in the direction of Bloody Specter City, one of the nine cities in Nine Specters County.
Bloody Specter City was the first place Duan Lingtian went to after he ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven.
"I'd like to see Duan Lingtian's background … I've never heard of such a person in Nine Specters County."
Zhou Fei wanted to investigate Duan Lingtian's background.
He had a feeling that with Duan Lingtian's innate talent and strength, he would not be an ordinary person in Bloody Specter City. It was impossible for him to be an unknown person before he entered the County City of Nine Specters County.
'This Duan Lingtian might be someone Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, has secretly trained to deal with my foster father … If I can confirm this, with my foster father's character, he'll definitely kill Duan Lingtian!'
This was the reason Zhou Fei had come to Bloody Specter City.
He knew about the enmity between Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, and his foster father.
As long as he could confirm that Duan Ling Tian was secretly nurtured by Liu Feng Gu to deal with his foster father, his foster father would not let such a potential threat go unpunished. Moreover, he would not allow Duan Ling Tian to continue growing stronger.
'If I can confirm that Duan Lingtian is someone Liu Feng Gu has trained to deal with my foster father … Even if the Mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill, is very tempting to my foster father, my foster father will definitely kill Duan Lingtian before the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties begins!'
"After all, based on the rewards set by King Qin's Mansion for the participants of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, it seems like King Qin's Mansion places a lot of importance on this competition. If Duan Ling Tian manages to make it into the top three, King Qin's Mansion will probably keep him in King Qin's Mansion."
"When that time comes, even if foster father wants to kill him and eliminate him by the roots … it will be harder than ascending to heaven!"
Zhou Fei's eyes lit up when he thought about this.
…
In a place far away from Nine Specters County.
In a vast area that was surrounded by clouds all year round, lush with lush greenery, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers. It was like a fairyland. On the peak of one of the mountains, there stood an elegant woman who looked like a fairy.
The lady stood on the peak as she looked in the direction of Nine Specters County. Her eyes seemed to be in a daze.
The lady was dressed in a light purple dress. Her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was as fair as snow, and her waist was slim.
Although half of her face was covered by a thin veil, her pair of clear and cold autumn eyes, as well as her elegant and refined temperament, were enough to make everything around her pale in comparison.
Apart from that, her face was partially covered by the veil.
However, due to the veil, one could vaguely see the outline of her face, and one could vaguely see the perfect curve of her face.
People couldn't help but have the impulse to lift the veil and look at the beautiful face under it.
One could imagine how charming she was even with a veil on her face.
If she were to remove the veil, how devastatingly beautiful would her cheeks be without the veil restraining them …?
"If I knew I would have a heart demon because of him, I would've killed him that day!"
The lady's red lips parted slightly as she muttered to herself.
However, when she reached the end of her sentence, she seemed to lack confidence.
If she could do it all over again, would she really kill him?
Even she herself wasn't sure of it.
After all, she was the one at fault, not him.
"Third Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister …"
Suddenly, a pleasant voice like that of a silver bell rang out. A young lady in green clothes stepped on the air from below the mountain peak. She seemed to have transformed into a green ray of light. In the blink of an eye, she had already arrived beside the purple-dressed lady.
"Lyu Luo, why are you here?"
The lady in purple looked at the green-clad young girl with a doting expression on her face.
"Third Senior Sister, why do I feel like you've been in a bad mood ever since you returned a year ago? Didn't you help the sect find the Celestial Weapon, the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk? Isn't that something to be happy about? Master, senior uncles, and junior uncles have been praising you. "
The green-clad young girl blinked her bright eyes as she asked.
Upon hearing the green-clad young girl's words, it was obvious who the purple-clad young girl was.
She was none other than Murong Bing, the lady whom Duan Lingtian had met in the Little World left behind by the Celestial King of the Blissful Sect in the mountains south of Bloody Specter City.
At that time, although they were not husband and wife in name, they were in fact husband and wife.
"Also … I just heard Martial Aunt say that in a month's Sect Meeting, she will appoint you as the successor of the Sect Master. After she abdicates, she will pass the position of Sect Master to you."
The green-clad young girl continued to say.
"Senior uncles … Did she really say that?"
Murong Bing asked with a glint in her eyes.
"Yes! I heard it with my own ears! "
The green-clad young girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Upon hearing the green-clad young girl's words, Murong Bing could not help but sigh inwardly.
According to the rules of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, apart from one's innate talent and strength, there was another basic requirement to become the sect leader.
She had to be a virgin!
As for Murong Bing, she was no longer a virgin ever since she came out of the Little World left behind by the Celestial King of the Blissful Sect a year ago.
In other words, she was not destined to be the sect leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
"Lyu Luo … Where's senior uncles now?"
After learning the whereabouts of the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect from the green-clad young girl, Murong Bing's purple dress fluttered in the wind. In just a blink of an eye, she left the mountain.
"Senior uncles."
Murong Bing met the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, who was also her senior uncles, in a spacious courtyard halfway up the mountain.
"Bing 'er … Why are you looking for senior uncles?"
The Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was a beautiful woman. She was dressed in a white robe with many lotuses embroidered on it. When she saw Murong Bing, a gentle expression could be seen on her face.
It was as though she was a senior looking at her most outstanding junior.
Although Murong Bing was not her direct disciple, she was the direct disciple of her junior sister who shared the same master as her. Murong Bing was also the disciple she was most satisfied with in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
Otherwise, she would not have made Murong Bing the successor of the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
Murong Bing was the successor of the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!
"Senior uncles, I heard that you're going to appoint me as the successor of the Sect Leader in a month's time … I'm here to ask you to rescind your decision!"
Murong Bing said bluntly.
"Huh?"
The Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was stunned when she heard Murong Bing's words. Then, she asked in confusion, "Bing 'er, what do you mean? Don't you want to be the next sect leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? "
