Zhou Tong, a Great Overarching Golden Celestial and the number one Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate, had died in Bloody Specter City, one of the nine cities in Nine Specters County.
He had died in the hands of Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City.
If news of this spread, it would undoubtedly cause a commotion in Nine Specters County.
However, due to the interference of Liu Feng Gu's subordinate, Elder Hong, only Elder Hong, Duan Lingtian, Liu Feng Gu, and Qin Yu knew about what had happened outside the main hall of the City Governor's estate.
"Qian 'er … Did you see that? Master … has avenged you! "
After killing Zhou Tong, Liu Feng Gu became agitated. He lifted his head and looked in the direction of the Nine Specters County's County City as he muttered to himself.
"City Governor."
Although Duan Lingtian did not want to disturb Liu Feng Gu, he had no choice but to speak up. "Why didn't I sense any trace of the Floating Image Celestial Talisman when you killed Zhou Tong?"
Duan Lingtian's expression turned solemn immediately.
Although Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, would not make things difficult for Liu Feng Gu in consideration of Liu Feng Gu's value in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
However, Tian Ji Yu might make things difficult for Liu Feng Gu.
Perhaps, if Duan Lingtian interceded on Liu Feng Gu's behalf, Tian Ji Yu would not make things difficult for Liu Feng Gu for the time being.
However, as time went on, it was hard to say.
After all, he could not stay in Nine Specters County and protect Liu Feng Gu forever.
"He doesn't have the Floating Image Celestial Talisman on him … Don't worry."
Liu Feng Gu regained his senses when he heard Duan Ling Tian's anxious words. He shook his head and replied to Duan Ling Tian.
"He doesn't have the Floating Image Celestial Talisman on him?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Duan Lingtian."
Before Duan Lingtian could say anything, Qin Yu, who was standing beside Duan Lingtian, said to Duan Lingtian, "The Floating Image Immortal Talisman can easily block the power of the talisman."
"Generally speaking, those who can kill Zhou Tong are Great Overarching Golden Celestials. Therefore, it's meaningless to place the Floating Image Celestial Talisman on him."
"Perhaps, your current cultivation base is not that of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, but the attack you can cast is not weaker than an ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestial. In fact, it's even stronger than an ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestial! This can be seen from how you were able to defeat and imprison Zhou Tong. "
"Didn't you intercept Zhou Tong's Immortal Message Talisman? You could even intercept his Immortal Message Talisman. This means that it would be easy for you to intercept the Floating Image Immortal Talisman. "
Qin Yu finished speaking in a single breath.
"I see … I thought he had a Floating Image Immortal Talisman on him, but I didn't notice it."
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Yu's words.
Bang!
At the same time, Liu Feng Gu raised his hand and destroyed Zhou Tong's corpse, leaving only a Spatial Ring lying on the ground.
Liu Feng Gu raised his hand, and an invisible force pulled the Spatial Ring over to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian did not stand on ceremony and accepted the Spatial Ring without any hesitation.
He knew that there was no point in being courteous. Given Liu Feng Gu's character, he would never take Zhou Tong's Spatial Ring for himself. In his opinion, the Spatial Ring belonged to him, Duan Lingtian!
That was the truth. Therefore, he did not stand on ceremony.
"Come in and have a seat."
After destroying Zhou Tong's corpse, Liu Feng Gu invited Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. He even invited Duan Lingtian to the main seat.
However, Duan Lingtian did not sit on the main seat. Instead, he sat on the lower side of the main seat.
Qin Yu followed suit and sat next to Duan Lingtian.
Upon seeing this, Liu Feng Gu sat opposite Duan Ling Tian on the other side of the main seat.
Perhaps Duan Lingtian was not a Great Overarching Golden Celestial yet. However, in Liu Feng Gu's opinion, Duan Lingtian was no different from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Naturally, Liu Feng Gu did not dare to be careless in front of such a person.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian had just avenged him!
As soon as Liu Feng Gu sat down, a gust of wind blew into the main hall. Elder Hong, the leader of the Golden Serpent Guards, had returned. After he entered the main hall, he appeared behind Liu Feng Gu and stood quietly, guarding him.
"Duan Lingtian, you really gave me a big surprise!"
After Elder Hong returned, Liu Feng Gu looked at Duan Ling Tian for a long time before he finally spoke.
"It took me two years … I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, City Lord."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the corners of Qin Yu, Liu Feng Gu, and Elder Hong's mouths twitched uncontrollably. When they looked at Duan Lingtian again, they could not help but roll their eyes.
A Heavenly Celestial who had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for half a year had killed a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in just two years.
If news of this spread out, the entire Spirit Overarching Heaven would be shaken.
However, when Duan Lingtian mentioned it, it was as though it was not worth mentioning at all.
They could not help but roll their eyes.
"Duan Lingtian, you don't know this … Half a year ago, Lord City Lord was still worried about your safety. He was afraid you'd die in Zhou Tong's hands before you could grow stronger."
Elder Hong sighed as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Who would've thought you would return from the County City of Nine Specters County with Zhou Tong who was severely injured by you? You even helped Lord City Lord kill Zhou Tong to avenge Young Master Qian!"
"Die in Zhou Tong's hands?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned again.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian learned about what had happened half a year ago from Liu Feng Gu.
"Could it be that Zhou Tong knew that I had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago? So he deliberately came to the Bloody Specter City and went to the Silverdragon Army."
"However, that Zhou Tong was truly ruthless … In order to spread the news that I had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago, he actually nearly annihilated the entire Silverdragon Army!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian finally knew how Zhou Tong knew that he had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago.
Furthermore, there was another matter that shocked him even more.
Because of this, Zhou Tong actually nearly annihilated the entire Silverdragon Army!
"Zhou Tong has always been vicious and merciless … It's only because you're stronger than him. If you weren't, you would've likely been under his control."
Liu Feng Gu said.
Duan Lingtian nodded. He deeply agreed with Liu Feng Gu's words.
"Elder Hong, you can withdraw first … I have some words that I wish to speak with Duan Lingtian alone."
Although Liu Feng Gu's words were directed at Elder Hong, his eyes were trained on Qin Yu who was sitting next to Duan Ling Tian.
"Yes, Lord City Governor."
Elder Hong acknowledged Liu Feng Gu's words and withdrew.
"Lord City Governor, Duan Lingtian, I'll take my leave as well."
Qin Yu tactfully withdrew from the great hall.
For a time, only Duan Lingtian and Liu Feng Gu were left in the great hall.
Whoosh!
Liu Feng Gu moved like the wind and rose from his seat in just a blink of an eye. He appeared in front of Duan Lingtian and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
"Lord City Governor, you …"
Duan Lingtian was so shocked by Liu Feng Gu that he rose to his feet.
"Duan Lingtian, thank you."
Liu Feng Gu straightened his back and looked at Duan Lingtian solemnly.
"City Lord, there's no need for you to thank me. This is a deal we made two years ago. You gave me the best cultivation environment in Bloody Specter City and gave me the best cultivation resources in return for killing Zhou Tong. We don't owe each other anything."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"I know that you and I had a 'deal' before … However, this deal, to a certain extent, caused you to suffer a great loss."
Liu Feng Gu shook his head.
"There's nothing to lose … Since I agreed to the 'deal' you proposed, it means that I was tempted by the conditions you offered."
Duan Lingtian continued to shake his head.
"No matter what, I still have to say 'thank you'."
Liu Feng Gu said stubbornly.
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly.
"Fortunately, I promised to tell you the clues about the Celestial Fire I encountered all those years ago after you helped me kill Zhou Tong and avenge my direct disciple. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to repay you."
Liu Feng Gu mentioned the Celestial Fire that he had mentioned to Duan Lingtian before.
This time, Duan Lingtian did not deny Liu Feng Gu's words. His eyes lit up, and his breathing quickened.
Two years ago, he had heard about the Celestial Fire from Liu Feng Gu.
He knew the Celestial Fire was extraordinary. It was not as simple as a primitive Celestial Fire.
"Now, I'll tell you where I found the Celestial Fire. It's located in a remote area. Logically speaking, it's impossible for anyone to find it."
Liu Feng Gu looked at Duan Ling Tian before he added, "Naturally, we can't rule out the possibility that someone has discovered that place. You have to be mentally prepared so you won't be surprised when you discover it."
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian learned the location of the Celestial Fire from Liu Feng Gu. It was located in another direction of the County City of Nine Specters County.
If Duan Lingtian wanted to go there, he would have to return to the County City of Nine Specters County first.
"City Governor, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
After learning about the location of the Celestial Fire, Duan Ling Tian did not want to stay in Bloody Specter City any longer. He was eager to find the Celestial Fire. It was as though he was afraid someone would beat him to it.
"Alright."
Liu Feng Gu nodded. He could understand how Duan Lingtian felt at this moment.
However, before Duan Ling Tian left, he still warned Duan Ling Tian with a solemn expression.
