"Sir, I merely informed the County Governor of Nine Specters County about the death of Liu Qian, the inner court elder of the County Governor's estate … I don't think I'm interfering in the matter between you and the Liu clan, right?"
A hint of fear flashed in Pang Bing's eyes when he saw Duan Lingtian looking at him coldly.
"In any case, Elder Pang Bing, ask the Pang clan to prepare 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones for me within three days."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
Based on his words, he was certain Pang Bing had interfered in the matter between him and the Liu clan. Therefore, he asked the Pang clan to prepare 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones within three days.
"100,000 prominent Celestial Stones within three days?"
Pang Bing's expression darkened when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. He said in a deep voice, "What a big appetite you have! What if the Pang clan refuses to give you the Celestial Stones? What are you going to do about it? "
"Then I'll have to go and get them myself."
Duan Lingtian continued to speak indifferently as though he was talking about something insignificant.
"Humph!"
Pang Bing snorted coldly. Then, he looked into the distance and said coldly, "If you want 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones from the Pang clan, you'll have to make it out alive today!"
At this moment, Pang Bing could clearly sense a powerful aura coming from the direction of the County Governor's estate. Moreover, the aura was so fast that it was terrifying.
Even he was not as fast as the aura.
He knew the County Governor of Nine Specters County was here.
Although he knew he was not as strong as the purple-clad young man, he could tell the purple-clad young man was only an ordinary person.
Although the purple-clad young man's strength was close to that of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, he was not as strong as a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
Great Overarching Golden Celestials were also divided into different grades and ranks.
Among them, yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials were the weakest.
The County Governor of Nine Specters County was a profound-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was even stronger than a yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Moreover, he was very close to breaking through to the earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. He was one of the strongest among those below the earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
Therefore, in Pang Bing's opinion:
So long as the County Governor of the County Governor's Manor arrived, this purple-clothed youth before them would not be able to cause any more trouble!
"There's no need for Elder Pang Bing to worry about that."
Duan Lingtian glanced in the direction of the Prefectural Governor's Manor as he replied to Pang Bing.
He had also sensed a powerful and familiar aura.
"County Governor!"
The group of people from the Liu Clan, including the Clan Leader, Liu Dongping, stared in the direction of the County Governor's Mansion with a respectful expression on their faces.
They were waiting for the arrival of the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
A moment later.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past, causing the robes of the people in the Liu Family's main hall to flutter.
As the wind blew, a figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
This figure that seemed to appear out of thin air was a tall middle-aged man wearing a silver robe embroidered with a silver dragon. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Waves of majestic aura were emitted from his body. He was obviously a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
"County Governor!"
"County Governor!"
…
As soon as the person appeared, everyone from the Liu Clan bowed respectfully in the air above the main hall.
Even Pang Bing bowed slightly at this moment.
"County Governor."
While everyone was bowing, Duan Ling Tian's gaze landed on the middle-aged man. He smiled faintly at him and greeted him indifferently.
Duan Lingtian looked as though he was greeting an acquaintance.
"He knows the County Governor?"
Pang Bing's expression changed slightly when he saw the way Duan Lingtian greeted the County Governor. He had a bad feeling about this.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
At the same time, the group of people from the Liu Clan, including Liu Dongping and Liu Zuolin, also noticed the way Duan Lingtian greeted the County Governor of Nine Specters County. Their expressions changed immediately.
They could tell the middle-aged man was wearing a purple robe.
It seemed like the purple-clad young man knew the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
Moreover, based on the way the purple-clad young man greeted the County Governor of Nine Specters County, it seemed like they were quite close.
"How's this possible? How … How could he know the County Governor? Impossible! It's impossible! "
Liu Zuolin shook his head. Although he didn't want to believe it, the hope in his eyes dimmed significantly at this moment.
Initially, he thought he would be able to escape when he saw the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
However, it seemed like that was not the case.
"County Governor!"
Liu Zuolin's mother, Pang Yuan from the Pang Clan, immediately stepped forward and pointed at Duan Lingtian as she said indignantly, "He's the one who killed Elder Liu Qian!
Elder Liu Qian was an inner estate elder of the County Governor's estate. His killing of Elder Liu Qian is equivalent to declaring war on the County Governor's estate!
County Governor, you must avenge Elder Liu Qian. You can't let him do whatever he wants! "
Pang Yuan said hurriedly. She pretended to be sad and indignant.
"Hm?"
When Duan Lingtian greeted Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, Tian Ji Yu had noticed him. Just as he was about to return the greeting, Pang Yuan beat him to it and said it was Duan Lingtian who had killed Liu Qian, an inner estate elder of the County Governor's estate.
Duan Lingtian had killed Liu Qian?
What a joke!
If Duan Lingtian was capable of killing Liu Qian, he could easily win first place in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties held by King Qin's Mansion and obtain three Mediocre Celestial Pills, the Great Overarching Pills, for the Nine Specters County.
"Ridiculous!"
As soon as Pang Yuan finished speaking, Tian Ji Yu glared at her and said coldly, "Duan Lingtian isn't even 100 years old yet. Do you think he's capable of killing Elder Liu Qian, a Violet Sun Golden Celestial?
Do you think I, Tian Ji Yu, am a fool? "
When Tian Ji Yu reached the end of his sentence, his gaze turned cold as he looked at Pang Yuan.
Pang Yuan felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body began to tremble violently.
As soon as Tian Ji Yu finished speaking, the entire place fell into dead silence.
Duan Lingtian?
Not even 100 years old?
The name Duan Lingtian was familiar to everyone present.
Duan Lingtian came from Bloody Specter City, one of the nine cities in Nine Specters County. Two years ago, when he had just arrived in the County City of Nine Specters County, he had severely injured Zhou Fei, the strongest person under the age of 100 in Nine Specters County, in the Latent Dragon Abyss in the County Governor's estate.
After that battle, Duan Lingtian became the focus of Zhou Fei's attention.
Duan Lingtian became famous after that battle and became the most popular young powerhouse in Nine Specters County.
"Lord … Lord County Governor … Are … Are you sure? He … He's Duan Lingtian? "
Pang Bing asked as he looked at Tian Ji Yu in disbelief. For a moment, he even forgot to sense the aura emanating from Duan Lingtian's body.
If he tried, he would be able to determine Duan Lingtian's age based on the aura of Duan Lingtian's body.
"Of course, there's no mistake."
Tian Ji Yu replied indifferently.
Tian Ji Yu could not help but frown as he asked, "Elder Pang Bing, why are you here? You're unharmed, but Elder Liu Qian is dead … What's going on? "
Tian Ji Yu's expression darkened when he finished asking the question.
"He … He's not even 100 years old!"
"Heavens! I didn't sense his aura earlier, but now that I think about it, he's really not even 100 years old! "
"He … Is he really Duan Ling Tian, the most popular young powerhouse in Nine Specters County in the past two years?"
"If he's really Duan Lingtian, isn't Duan Lingtian too terrifying? He's not even 100 years old, but he's stronger than Elder Pang Bing, the strongest person below Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County? "
"Earlier, Elder Pang Bing also admitted that he's not as strong as Duan Lingtian!"
…
Just as Tian Ji Yu was questioning Pang Bing and his face darkened, the exclamations of the elders from the Liu clan entered his ears. He was completely dumbstruck as he stood rooted to the ground.
Did these people just say that Elder Pang Bing was not as strong as Duan Lingtian?
"H-how's this possible?!"
"In Nine Specters County, Elder Pang Bing is only weaker than me and Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of the County Governor's estate who passed away not long ago. He's also widely acknowledged as the strongest person below Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County!"
"He's not as strong as Duan Lingtian?"
Tian Ji Yu couldn't believe it. He looked at Pang Bing, his eyes flashing with uncertainty.
Pang Bing knew what was on Tian Ji Yu's mind when he saw the look in Tian Ji Yu's eyes. He nodded bitterly.
"Lord County Governor, it's true that I'm not as strong as Duan Lingtian!"
Earlier, Pang Bing had purposely sensed Duan Lingtian's aura and confirmed that Duan Lingtian was not even 100 years old. He had also confirmed Duan Lingtian's identity.
For a moment, his heart was in turmoil.
How could a person who was not even 100 years old be stronger than him?
"Does this mean Elder Liu Qian was killed by Duan Lingtian?"
Tian Ji Yu asked as his eyes glinted.
"Yes."
Pang Bing nodded before he added, "I can't prove this by myself. However, everyone here can testify to this."
Tian Ji Yu's eyes immediately shifted to Duan Ling Tian when he heard Duan Ling Tian's question.
He smiled faintly and asked Duan Lingtian in a friendly manner, "Duan Lingtian, did you kill Elder Liu Qian?"
"Yes."
Since he had already killed Elder Liu Qian, there was no way Duan Lingtian would deny it.
