"How could it be them?!"
Qin Yu, who was beside Duan Lingtian, saw the two people who were descending from the sky towards them. His expression changed greatly and he could not help but let out a cry of alarm.
Of the two people before him, he had only met Zhou Fei.
However, now that Zhou Fei was escorting an old man, it was not difficult for him to guess the old man's identity.
The number one Reverend of the County Governor's Estate in Nine Specters County, Zhou Tong!
"Duan Lingtian, is the person in front of Zhou Fei … Zhou Tong?"
Although he had vaguely guessed the identity of the old man, Qin Yu still could not help but ask Duan Lingtian via voice transmission.
According to what he learned from Zheng Qiu,
One and a half years ago, before Duan Ling Tian went into closed-door cultivation, Zhou Tong had willingly given Duan Ling Tian two bottles of primitive Celestial Pills, the Spirit Nourishing Pills, to Duan Ling Tian for the sake of the Great Overarching Pills.
How could a person's attitude change so drastically in a year and a half?
The old man who descended from the sky with Zhou Fei escorting him was clearly hostile.
Most importantly, the old man did not seem like a Golden Immortal at all.
Whether it was the old man's temperament or the invisible aura he exuded, they all seemed to be telling the people around him:
He was not a Golden Immortal.
They were existences that were even more powerful than Golden Immortals!
"It's Zhou Tong."
Duan Lingtian replied telepathically.
After receiving Duan Lingtian's confirmation, Qin Yu could not help but gasp even though he was mentally prepared. "Didn't he give you two bottles of Low-grade Immortal Elixir 'Spirit Nourishing Elixir' a year and a half ago with the intention of training you so that you could shine in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties?"
"This time, he doesn't seem to have come with good intentions … In a year and a half, isn't the change in him a little too great?"
Said Qin Yu via voice transmission.
"Indeed, they don't come with good intentions."
Qin Yu could see that Zhou Tong did not come with good intentions. Duan Lingtian could naturally also see that.
It was to the extent that he had already guessed that those two people from before were most likely arranged by Zhou Tong.
"I was too careless."
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly.
It was also because what the two of them said was too real, and did not seem to be fake.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed them without any warning.
Naturally, other than the fact that the two of them did not seem to be lying, it was also because he had a strong desire for the Profound Grade Cultivation Method.
If he could obtain a Xuan grade cultivation method to replace his current Huang grade cultivation method, the 《Secret Crystal Clearance Method》, his cultivation speed would reach a whole new level!
"Looks like those two people were arranged by Zhou Tong … However, from what those two people said, the matter of the Profound Grade Cultivation Method doesn't seem to be fake."
Said Qin Yu via voice transmission.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, Zhou Tong and Zhou Fei had already descended from the sky and arrived at a location not far from Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu.
Both of their gazes descended onto Duan Ling Tian in unison.
As for Qin Yu, he was completely ignored by them.
"Exalted Zhou Tong … What a coincidence, to be able to meet you here."
Duan Lingtian looked at Zhou Tong with a slight smile on his face.
"Unfortunately, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhou Tong looked at Duan Lingtian indifferently.
"Oh?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised.
"Duan Lingtian!"
At the same time, Zhou Fei, who was standing behind Zhou Tong, looked at Duan Lingtian and sneered. "I really didn't expect you to have hidden yourself so well … If I hadn't gone to the Bloody Specter City to investigate your background, I wouldn't have thought that you're someone who ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago!
Moreover, you're a Heavenly Immortal who ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Ascension Pool! "
When Zhou Fei finished speaking, the sneer on his face grew even wider.
Whoosh!
As soon as Zhou Fei finished speaking, Qin Yu, who was standing beside Duan Lingtian, had a change in expression.
He had already confirmed Zhou Fei's words.
However, he did not expect Zhou Fei to not only know that Duan Lingtian had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago, but he also seemed to have confirmed this matter.
At this moment, realization dawned on Qin Yu.
It was no wonder Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate in the Nine Specters County, would treat Duan Lingtian so differently after a year and a half.
As it turned out, Zhou Tong knew that Duan Lingtian had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago.
It was not difficult for Qin Yu to figure out why Zhou Tong's attitude had changed.
Zhou Tong must have coveted Duan Ling Tian's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that were suspected to be at the heaven-grade.
Mediocre Celestial Pills, the Great Overarching Pills, were insignificant compared to heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
"Duan Lingtian …" Qin Yu's expression changed drastically.
Horror dawned on Qin Yu's face when he realized the reason Zhou Tong came with ill intentions. He immediately looked at Duan Ling Tian.
However, he discovered that Duan Lingtian was not lying.
From the beginning until the end, Duan Lingtian's expression remained calm. It was as though he could remain calm even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him.
"You're really thoughtful … To think you managed to find out about all these things …"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Zhou Fei indifferently. He clicked his tongue disdainfully as he said, "Zhou Fei, if you'd put more effort into cultivating, you wouldn't have been so weak in front of me."
Duan Lingtian's words were akin to rubbing salt on Zhou Fei's wound. Zhou Fei's expression changed drastically.
"Duan Lingtian, what are you so proud of?!"
Zhou Fei's expression changed greatly. He glared at Duan Lingtian and roared, "If it weren't for the fact that you've mastered heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities … how could you possibly be a match for me? In my eyes, you're nothing more than a lowly ascender who's been lucky! "
"Lowly ascender?"
Duan Lingtian smiled. "You said I'm a lowly ascender? Then, what do you count as, someone whose four limbs were cut off by a lowly ascender like me?"
"Trash? Trash? "
The smile on Duan Lingtian's face grew even wider.
Faced with Duan Lingtian's question, Zhou Fei's expression changed again and again. However, he did not know how to refute it.
After all, he was indeed no match for Duan Lingtian. Furthermore, the gap between them was very large. Duan Lingtian could defeat him in a single move!
"Duan Lingtian, I won't argue with you!"
Zhou Fei said in a deep voice, "After today, you'll be a dog in my foster father's cage. If he tells you to go east, you won't dare to go west. If he tells you to go south, you won't dare to go north!
If you cooperate and hand over the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that you've mastered, you might be able to live for a few more years. If you don't, I'll make you suffer until you're willing to cooperate and hand over the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that you've mastered! "
When Zhou Fei reached the end of his sentence, a cold smile appeared on his face. His eyes gleamed brightly as though he could already see the scene of Duan Lingtian being imprisoned by his foster father.
"Is that so?"
Duan Ling Tian smiled. His smile was as brilliant as ever. From the beginning until the end, there was not a trace of fear on his face.
It was as though he was not afraid of Zhou Tong at all.
"Since you can still smile, you should seize the opportunity to smile. When my foster father makes his move, you won't be able to smile even if you want to!"
Zhou Fei sneered.
"Duan Lingtian!"
As soon as Zhou Fei finished speaking, Zhou Tong, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
He looked at Duan Lingtian, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened. "I can't believe you've only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for two and a half years. If I'm not mistaken, you're still a Heavenly Celestial, right?"
"If I say no, would you believe me, Revered Elder Zhou Tong?"
Duan Lingtian asked Zhou Tong.
"Humph!"
Before Zhou Tong could open his mouth, Zhou Fei who was standing behind Zhou Tong snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Duan Ling Tian, who do you think you are? It's only been two and a half years. How can a Heavenly Celestial like you break through and become a Golden Celestial?
What a joke!
If it weren't for the heaven-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that you've mastered, I, Zhou Fei, would only need a finger to kill you! "
When Zhou Fei reached the end of his sentence, his eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
However, no matter what Zhou Fei said, Duan Ling Tian did not even look at him from the beginning until the end. Duan Ling Tian continued to look at Zhou Tong.
It was as though only Zhou Tong, the strongest Revered Elder in the County Governor's estate, was worthy of his attention.
Zhou Fei was not worthy!
"Duan Lingtian!"
Naturally, Zhou Tong who was completely ignored by Duan Ling Tian felt both humiliated and enraged.
If looks could kill, Duan Lingtian would have died many times over.
"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, you're destined to be my prisoner today!"
Zhou Tong said confidently as his eyes turned cold.
"Revered Elder Zhou Tong."
Even when Zhou Tong revealed his fangs, Duan Ling Tian still had a calm expression, and he used an extremely casual tone to ask. "If I'm not wrong … The two people that lured me and Qin Yu out of the County City were arranged by you, right?"
"That's right."
Zhou Tong replied indifferently.
He was not bothered by the fact that Duan Ling Tian was able to maintain his composure until now.
Just like his foster son, Zhou Fei, both of them felt Duan Ling Tian was only pretending to be mysterious for being able to maintain his composure until now.
"I'm very curious … Why is it that when they talked about the Profound Grade Cultivation Method, they were able to make it sound so real? It didn't seem fake at all."
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"That's because everything they said was what I experienced a year and a half ago. A year and a half ago, I received news about a Mysterious Grade Cultivation Method and left the Nine Specters County. "
When he mentioned this matter, an imperceptible look of pity flashed across Zhou Tong's face.
"It seems like the Mysterious Grade Cultivation Method has been taken away by someone else. What a pity. "
Although a look of pity flashed across Zhou Tong's face before disappearing, Duan Ling Tian saw it clearly and directly pointed it out in his words.
"It's not a pity."
