"But … Godfather, with Duan Lingtian's strength, there's a high chance he'll be able to enter the top three in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties held in King Qin's Mansion one and a half years later."
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Zhou Fei rejoiced in his heart. At the same time, he deliberately asked,
He deliberately asked, "Do you plan to make a move on him after he participates in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties? Or now?"
After he said those words, Zhou Fei's gaze landed on Zhou Tong's face. He wanted to see how his adoptive father would react to his words from his face.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Zhou Fei's words, Zhou Tong coldly snorted again. A cold light flashed through his eyes and his expression instantly darkened.
"Of course, now!"
He did not know why King Qin's Mansion would go to such great lengths to hold the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
However, based on the Great Overarching Pills that King Qin's Mansion awarded to the top three participants, it was clear that King Qin's Mansion placed great importance on the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
If Duan Lingtian failed to enter the top two in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, he would not be able to obtain the Mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill.
If Duan Lingtian managed to enter the top two, he would be able to obtain the Great Overarching Pill.
However, once Duan Ling Tian made it into the top three or top two of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, King Qin's Mansion would definitely pay more attention to Duan Ling Tian who had performed outstandingly in the competition.
At that time, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Tong to obtain the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that Duan Lingtian had mastered.
On one hand, he might not be able to obtain the Mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill.
On the other hand, he might be able to obtain the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that Duan Lingtian had mastered.
Zhou Tong thought about it for a moment before he chose the second option.
"Of course, now!"
Zhou Fei's eyes lit up when he heard Zhou Tong's words. He quickly flattered, "Godfather, you're wise … If we let Duan Lingtian participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, I'm afraid it won't be as easy as killing him now."
This was the result that Zhou Fei was waiting for.
"Duan Lingtian … Compared to the mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill, which I might not be able to obtain, the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities you possess are much more tempting to me! Just wait for my foster father to force you to hand over your Immortal Arts and Divine Abilities, and then kill you in the end! "
While flattering Zhou Tong, Zhou Fei's eyes flashed as he muttered to himself. It was as if he was talking to Duan Lingtian face to face.
"Foster father."
Zhou Fei continued, "Now, the County Governor thinks very highly of Duan Lingtian. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to make a move on that Duan Lingtian in the County Governor's Manor. Moreover, if you threaten Duan Lingtian in the County Governor's Manor, Lord County Governor will find out that Duan Lingtian has mastered heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
At that time, it'll be fine if Lord County Governor is willing to share the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities with you. However, if he's unwilling or insists on letting Duan Lingtian participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that Duan Lingtian has mastered.
Moreover, if Duan Lingtian participates in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, King Qin's Manor might take a liking to him and make him stay in King Qin's Manor. At that time, not only will it be difficult for you to threaten him, but even Lord County Governor might not be able to do so.
Moreover, if Duan Lingtian is someone who Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, intentionally raised to deal with you, father … With his innate talent, he'll be able to grow quickly in King Qin's Manor. Coupled with the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that he has mastered, I'm afraid he'll be a threat to you in the future. "
After Zhou Fei spoke, he also analyzed his own point of view with Zhou Tong.
"Fei 'er, your analysis is good."
Zhou Tong nodded in satisfaction after hearing Zhou Fei's words. Then, his eyes flashed coldly as he said, "I'll think of a way to make Duan Lingtian leave the County Governor's estate. Once he leaves the County Governor's estate, I'll be able to force him to hand over the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that he has mastered!"
Based on Zhou Tong's words, it was clear he had a plan.
…
In Bloody Specter City.
The recent events had caused Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, to feel extremely gloomy.
Apart from the Silverwyrm Army soldiers who were out on missions, the Silverwyrm Army soldiers who were stationed at the Silverwyrm Army's camp, including Miao Lai Long, and those who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven to work as miners in the Celestial Stone vein were all killed.
In the main hall of the City Governor's estate.
Liu Feng Gu sat in the main seat while Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, sat next to him.
"Xuan Ba, what do you think of this?"
Liu Feng Gu asked in a deep voice as he looked at Chen Xuan Ba.
Even though Liu Feng Gu was able to maintain his mental state for a long period of time due to his extraordinary cultivation, after a period of investigation and torment, he still showed signs of fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with dense veins.
"Lord City Governor, initially, I thought the Silverwyrm Army must have offended someone … However, after thinking about it, I don't think so. If the Silverwyrm Army had offended someone who had the strength to kill Commander Miao Lai Long, it's impossible for that person to not seek an explanation from you.
After all, you're the City Governor of Bloody Specter City and Commander Miao Lai Long's superior! "
"Lord City Governor, I think Commander Miao Lai Long had the Minor Floating Image Celestial Talisman that you gave him, right?"
Chen Xuan Ba suddenly thought of this.
"When he died, the Major Floating Image Celestial Talisman that corresponded to his Minor Floating Image Celestial Talisman didn't receive any Celestial Talisman's energy so it couldn't display the Floating Image Mirror Image. However, I'm certain he had used the Minor Floating Image Celestial Talisman."
Liu Feng Gu replied.
"Gasp!"
Chen Xuan Ba inhaled sharply when he heard Liu Feng Gu's words. An expression of shock could be seen on his face as he asked, "Then … Does this mean the person who killed Commander Miao Lai Long is most likely a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?"
"It's not just a possibility … The person who killed him is definitely a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!"
Liu Feng Gu said confidently.
"How did the Silverwyrm Army offend a Great Overarching Golden Celestial? Moreover, if the Silverwyrm Army offended a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, that Great Overarching Golden Celestial would have come to the City Governor's estate to look for you, Lord City Governor, right?"
Chen Xuan Ba muttered to himself in confusion.
"Perhaps, there's another reason."
Liu Feng Gu said in a deep voice.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew into the main hall.
"Lord City Governor."
Accompanying this gust of wind was an aged voice.
Following that, an old man appeared in the main hall and bowed at Liu Feng Gu.
"Elder Hong!"
Seeing the old man, Chen Xuan Ba, who was sitting at the side, quickly stood up and respectfully greeted him.
Although he was the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, he did not dare to be disrespectful in front of this old man.
Not only was this old man the closest person to the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, but he was also the leader of the Golden Serpent Guards. Moreover, this old man was widely acknowledged as the second strongest person in Bloody Specter City.
"Elder Hong, did you find anything?"
Liu Feng Gu asked with a glint in his eyes.
Old Hong nodded before he continued to say, "Lord City Governor, some time ago, two uninvited guests came to Bloody Specter City. They came from the County City, the County Governor's estate!"
"Two uninvited guests? From the County Governor's estate? "
Liu Feng Gu's eyes widened as he asked in a deep voice, "Who are they?"
A figure that he hated immediately appeared in his mind. It was none other than Zhou Tong, the first Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County.
Zhou Tong was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
Moreover, he was one of the only two Great Overarching Golden Celestials in Nine Specters County.
When Chen Xuan Ba looked at Elder Hong, Elder Hong said, "There are two uninvited guests. One of them is the inner estate elder of the County Governor's estate, Qian Ping 'an. The other is Zhou Fei, the foster son of Revered Elder Zhou Tong. His limbs were severed by the Duan Lingtian a year and a half ago!
Qian Ping 'an is Zhou Tong's subordinate, and Zhou Fei is Zhou Tong's foster son. The Silverwyrm Army's camp was almost razed to the ground … "
After hearing Elder Hong's words, Liu Feng Gu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Lord City Governor …" Chen Xuan Ba was curious.
Chen Xuan Ba was curious as to what the City Governor of Bloody Specter City was thinking of that caused his expression to turn so ugly in just an instant.
"Xuan Ba, you can leave now."
Just as Chen Xuan Ba was feeling curious, Liu Feng Gu looked at him and waved his hand. "I already know what to do, so there's no need for you to continue investigating. I'll tell you more about it later. For now, I have something to say to Elder Hong."
"Yes, Lord City Governor."
Although Chen Xuan Ba was puzzled, he still left the hall.
After Chen Xuan Ba left, Liu Feng Gu looked at Elder Hong and said in a deep voice, "Elder Hong, if I'm not mistaken, Zhou Tong already knows that Duan Lingtian is a Heavenly Celestial who has only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two years ago.
In his eyes, Duan Lingtian is a Heavenly Celestial who has mastered heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. With his greedy nature, he must have coveted the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that Duan Lingtian has mastered. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures to silence the Silverwyrm Army! "
Liu Feng Gu said.
With Liu Feng Gu's intelligence, it was not difficult for him to figure out what had happened.
Zhou Tong had made a move!
"The City Governor's men … If Zhou Tong was the one who made the move, why didn't he look for trouble with you?"
Elder Hong asked.
"Zhou Tong is stubborn and self-opinionated. I'm afraid he's already guessed I've groomed Duan Lingtian to deal with him. With his character, he'll definitely come and humiliate me after dealing with Duan Lingtian!"
