"Mother, it's him!"
Liu Zuolin immediately turned to look at Duan Lingtian when he heard the woman's question. His eyes gleamed fiercely like a docile puppy that had suddenly turned into a mad dog. He could not wait to pounce on Duan Lingtian and bite him.
The woman was Liu Zuolin's mother, Pang Yuan. When she heard her son's words, she immediately looked at Duan Lingtian with a murderous gleam in her eyes.
"Uncle."
When Pang Yuan saw the old man who came with her, the anger on her face was replaced by a pitiful expression.
"Elder Pang Bing."
When Pang Yuan looked at the old man, Liu Qian also glanced at the old man and greeted him.
This old man was the Leader of the Inner Mansion Elders in the County Governor's estate. He was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County.
Among the Inner Mansion Elders in Nine Specters County, only this old man and Zheng Qiu were stronger than him.
Liu Qian was not surprised by the appearance of the old man since he knew his sister-in-law, Pang Yuan, was Pang Bing's niece.
"Brat, you're the one who wants to kill my grandnephew?"
Although Pang Bing looked at Duan Lingtian calmly, a hint of killing intent could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
"Elder Pang Bing."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Pang Bing indifferently and said, "I advise you not to interfere in this matter. Otherwise, the Pang Clan will be dragged into this as well!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed fiercely as though he was about to devour Pang Bing.
When Duan Lingtian heard Liu Qian addressing the old man as Elder Pang Bing, he knew who the old man was.
The Leader of the Inner Mansion Elders in the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County, Pang Bing!
This Pang Bing's strength was even stronger than the Elder Zheng Qiu that he knew!
Moreover, Pang Bing was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County.
"How boastful!"
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Pang Bing was first startled, and then he flew into a rage. His face flushed red, and he seemed to have turned into an angry tiger, glaring at Duan Lingtian.
A powerful aura rose from his body and swept towards Duan Lingtian.
"Who are you?"
Liu Qian, the Supreme Elder of the Liu Clan, who was also an inner estate elder of the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County like Pang Bing, asked Duan Ling Tian in a deep voice. Pang Bing was glaring at Duan Ling Tian fiercely.
Earlier, he had already sent a Voice Transmission to his brother, Liu Dong Ping, the Clan Leader of the Liu Clan, to understand the ins and outs of the matter.
He knew this person had killed his good friend, Liu Qing, the Supreme Elder of the Liu Clan and a primitive Celestial Alchemist in just a blink of an eye.
Liu Qing, until his death, did not react.
Now, he could almost be sure that this was the case.
The purple-clad young man was at least a Violet Sun Golden Celestial.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently, "As long as the Liu Clan executes Liu Zuo Lin and gives me 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones, I'll let bygones be bygones. I believe you're a smart person, Elder Liu Qian."
Duan Lingtian looked at Liu Qian meaningfully when he reached the end of his sentence.
The moment Duan Ling Tian's words left his mouth, the entire place fell silent again.
The people from the Liu Clan, in particular, had an expression of disbelief on their faces when they looked at Duan Lingtian.
"This person … How boastful!"
"Not only does he want the Liu Clan to execute Young Master Lin, but he also wants us to give him 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones?"
"100,000 prominent Celestial Stones … Even with the amount of Celestial Stones in the Liu Clan's account, it's impossible for us to gather so many prominent Celestial Stones, right?"
"If the Liu Clan really wants to gather so many prominent Celestial Stones, it's still possible. However, we'll have to sell some of our assets."
"Who the hell is he? Elder Liu Qian and Elder Pang Bing, the inner court elders of the County Governor's estate, are here, and yet, he's still blackmailing us! Is he not afraid of the County Governor's estate in the Nine Specters County? "
…
The group of people from the Liu Family could not understand where the purple-clothed young man in front of them got his confidence from. Under such circumstances, he still dared to blackmail and extort the Liu Family.
"You … You …"
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Liu Qian was so enraged that he felt as though his lungs were about to explode. His aura surged as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body and transformed into scorching flames that shrouded his entire body. His cries rang in the air.
"Elder Pang Bing."
Pang Bing was shocked by Duan Lingtian's words when Duan Lingtian glanced at him indifferently and said, "If you really want to interfere in this matter, sure. However, if you do, the Pang Clan will have to pay 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones if you want to settle this peacefully.
Elder Pang Bing, you … You better think this through. "
Duan Lingtian looked at Pang Bing meaningfully when he finished speaking.
"Who are you?!"
Pang Bing calmed down when he saw Duan Lingtian daring to threaten him. However, his eyes were still filled with suspicion when he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Compared to you, Elder Pang Bing, I'm just a nobody."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. He no longer looked at Pang Bing. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Liu Zuo Lin and said with a grin, "Liu Zuo Lin, do you think you'll be able to keep your life with Elder Pang Bing and Elder Liu Qian around?"
Liu Zuo Lin's expression darkened, and his eyes flashed with uncertainty.
He did not expect the purple-clad young man would still be so calm at this moment.
Could it be that the purple-clad young man had a powerful background?
"Uncle, this brat must be bluffing … He's trying to scare you."
Pang Yuan who was standing next to Liu Zuo Lin glared at Duan Lingtian before she turned to look at Pang Bing.
"That's not impossible."
Pang Bing nodded nonchalantly when he heard Pang Yuan's words. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "However, Yuan 'er, the Liu Clan is the master of this matter. If the Liu Clan can resolve this matter, there's no need for me to meddle in this matter."
Pang Bing made his stance clear after he finished speaking.
He would not act rashly before the Liu Clan made a move.
'As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is …'
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly as soon as Pang Bing finished speaking.
It was not difficult for him to guess Pang Bing's thoughts.
He wanted to see if the Liu Clan could deal with him.
After all, Liu Qian who was not much weaker than him had returned. If Liu Qian could deal with him, Pang Bing would not have to make a move as well.
If Liu Qian could not deal with him, Pang Bing knew he might not be able to do the same.
At that time, Pang Bing could retreat in the face of difficulties.
That way, he would not offend him and drag the Pang Clan down with him.
Facing Pang Bing's attitude, Pang Yuan still wanted to say something, but when she saw Pang Bing shaking his head at her, she didn't say anything else.
However, her gaze turned colder as she looked at Duan Lingtian.
After all, Duan Lingtian wanted her son's life!
She did not care why Duan Lingtian wanted her son's life. In her opinion, her son's life was the most important. Nobody's life was more important than her son's life. As long as her son was alive, she did not care even if millions of people died.
"Good, good … Very good!"
Liu Qian's cold gaze was fixed on Duan Lingtian as he said in a deep voice, "Since you're so confident, let me, Liu Qian, experience your strength. I only hope your strength matches your confidence!"
As soon as Liu Qian finished speaking, he made his move under everyone's watchful eyes.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
…
As soon as Liu Qian made his move, he took out his Celestial Weapon. It was a short sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Then, under the watchful eyes of the others, Liu Qian seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian. The sword rays in his hand emitted a series of ear-piercing and short-lived sword cries as they shot out.
All of a sudden …
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
…
Liu Qian's Celestial Origin Energy surged like a flame before it transformed into a human-shaped giant beast that was more than 100 meters tall. When the giant beast charged out with Liu Qian, it created an earth-shattering commotion.
"Hm?"
Just when Duan Lingtian thought this was the extent of Liu Qian's strength, a shocking scene unfolded in front of him.
Liu Qian, who was sprinting forward, along with the afterimages of the Immortal Sword in his hand, actually merged with the giant humanoid beast in a flash.
In the end, the gigantic humanoid beast disappeared.
After that, Liu Qian's body began to swell out of control.
In just a blink of an eye, Liu Qian, who was originally only 1.8 meters tall, grew to a height of more than 30 meters. His aura was so domineering that it blotted out the sun.
"It's not an illusion … His body seems to have really grown bigger!"
When Duan Lingtian extended his Divine Consciousness, it was not difficult for him to discover that Liu Qian's body seemed to have grown bigger.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian knew that Liu Qian's body seemed to have grown bigger.
This was very similar to a real increase in size, but it was impossible for it to be a real increase in size.
"What a brilliant technique!"
Duan Lingtian knew Liu Qian must have cast some Celestial Method or Divine Ability to make Liu Qian grow bigger. It was as though Duan Lingtian, his opponent, was an insignificant ant in Liu Qian's eyes.
"Elder Liu Qian is using … the 100 Feet Golden Body?"
"The 100 Feet Golden Body is a primitive assist-type Celestial Method that's extremely difficult to cultivate. Once it's cultivated, it'll allow the cultivator's body to swell until it's ten times bigger!"
