"I'm looking for Duan Lingtian!"
An old woman dressed in a plain robe stood in the air above the County Governor's Mansion in Nine Specters County as she spoke slowly.
Although her voice was not loud, it seemed to contain a magical power that spread through the entire County Governor's Mansion.
Everyone in the County Governor's Mansion heard the old woman's voice.
Before the old woman spoke, even the most powerful County Governor, Tian Ji Yu, who was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, did not notice the old woman's arrival.
A commotion broke out in the County Governor's Mansion when they heard the old woman's words.
"This voice … It seems to be coming from the sky above the County Governor's Mansion."
"Based on the voice, it seems to be an old woman in her seventies … Why is she looking for Duan Lingtian?"
"I can't tell if she's happy or angry from her tone … I wonder why she's here."
"No matter why she's here, the outer, inner, and Revered Elders won't let her go since she's causing such a commotion in the County Governor's Mansion!"
…
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the County Governor's Mansion.
These comments were mostly made by the servants and maidservants in the County Governor's Manor, as well as a small number of guards with weaker cultivations.
Without exception, these people were all below the Golden Celestial Realm.
At this moment, those who were Golden Celestials or above in the County Governor's estate felt their hearts tremble when they heard the old woman's voice that came from the sky. Their hearts began to throb as well.
"This person … is not simple!"
"Just her voice alone can make a Blue Sun Golden Celestial like me feel this way … She's at least a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!"
"I'm afraid even an ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestial wouldn't be able to make me feel this way with just her voice alone!"
…
Some of the stronger guards in the Prefectural Governor's Manor, as well as the Outer Mansion Elders, Inner Mansion Elders, and Reverends, could tell from the voice that the owner of the voice was extraordinary.
She was at least a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!
In the County Governor's Mansion, only the County Governor was capable of dealing with such a person.
After all, the County Governor was the only Great Overarching Golden Celestial left in the County Governor's Mansion.
The other Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Zhou Tong, the former First Consecrator of County Governor Manor, had died outside some time ago. The cause of his death was still unknown.
"Such an expert … if we approach her rashly, we will only offend her."
It was precisely because they realized this that the group of outer court elders, inner court elders, and revered elders in the County Governor's Estate did not dare to rashly soar into the air and approach the uninvited guest.
Whoosh!
In the courtyard of the County Governor of Nine Specters County, a figure shot up into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to have turned into a bolt of lightning and shot toward the direction of the voice of the uninvited guest.
At this moment, only Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, dared to approach the uninvited guest and came out from the courtyard of the County Governor of Nine Specters County!
"This expert … Could he be an expert bought over by one of the other 15 counties?"
Tian Jiyu could not help but have such thoughts when he heard that the uninvited guest was looking for Duan Lingtian.
However, as soon as the thought appeared, he dismissed it.
After all, it was impossible!
'What Duan Lingtian did to the Liu Clan only happened five days ago … Unless it's a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, it's impossible for him to reach the County City in five days.'
Tian Jiyu thought to himself, 'Even if a Violet Sun Golden Celestial travels at full speed, it'll still take about ten days to reach the county city closest to Nine Specters County.'
For this reason, Tian Ji Yu did not think the uninvited guest was a powerhouse bought over by one of the 15 counties to deal with Duan Lingtian.
It was impossible for the other 15 counties to plant a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in the County City of Nine Specters County.
Among the 15 counties, the county with the most Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals only had three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
For this reason, it was impossible for any of the counties to plant a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in another county's County City.
After all, it was a very wasteful and extravagant thing to do.
Moreover, as the County Governor of Nine Specters County, Tian Ji Yu had information about the people planted in the County City of Nine Specters County.
Based on Duan Ling Tian's knowledge, the strongest person from the other 15 counties was only an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial.
For this reason, he was certain the uninvited guest had nothing to do with the other 15 counties.
"Hm?"
When Tian Ji Yu arrived near the source of the voice, he suddenly slowed down and looked at the figure in the distance.
It was an old woman dressed in a plain long robe.
The old woman stood there motionless like a mountain. However, Tian Ji Yu felt as though she had merged with heaven and earth.
"You're the County Governor of Nine Specters County?"
All of a sudden, the old woman's turbid eyes narrowed without any warning, and she immediately met Tian Jiyu's gaze.
In an instant, those cloudy eyes became as bright as the stars, extremely dazzling!
A terrifying aura surged out of the old woman's body as soon as she met Tian Ji Yu's eyes. It was as though a vast ocean had crashed into Tian Ji Yu's body.
"Barf!"
Almost as soon as the old woman's aura hit Tian Ji Yu, Tian Ji Yu, who had just been frightened by the old woman's bottomless eyes, suddenly trembled and couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood.
As the congested blood spurted out, Tian Jiyu's body trembled violently a few times. He subconsciously stepped back a few steps in the air.
"Greetings, senior! I'm Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County!"
Although Tian Ji Yu was furious, he did not dare to show any disrespect. After he caught his breath, he bowed respectfully at the old woman.
At the same time, Tian Jiyu's heart was also in turmoil.
'Even a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial wouldn't be able to injure me so severely with just her aura!
In other words, this old woman is at least an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. '
An Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
That was even more powerful than a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!
King Qin was the only person in King Qin's Mansion who was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
Tian Ji Yu shuddered when he realized the old woman was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. The anger in his heart disappeared and was replaced by anxiety.
Why would an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial come to Nine Specters County?
Moreover, why was she looking for Duan Lingtian?
"Where's Duan Lingtian?"
The old woman asked in a deep voice as she stared at Tian Ji Yu.
"Senior, why are you looking for Duan Lingtian?"
Tian Ji Yu could not help but ask.
He could not figure out how Duan Lingtian was related to an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Moreover, the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial's eyes flashed with killing intent when she mentioned Duan Lingtian. It was clear she did not come with good intentions.
It was clear the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial was looking for Duan Lingtian to kill Duan Lingtian.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask … You only need to answer my question," the old woman said coldly.
Tian Ji Yu felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar when he heard the old woman's cold voice.
"Yes, yes."
Tian Ji Yu, who was so frightened that he sucked in a breath of cold air, quickly responded. He was as docile as a cat.
Although Tian Ji Yu was the County Governor of Nine Specters County, he had the backing of King Qin's Mansion.
However, the person standing before him was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. His strength was on par with King Qin, the strongest person in King Qin's Mansion.
Even if the other party killed him, the Duke of Qin's Manor wouldn't avenge him.
It was impossible for King Qin, the Master of King Qin's Mansion, to offend an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial for the sake of a mere County Governor.
"Senior, you're late … Duan Lingtian left the County Governor's Mansion and the county city three days ago."
After taking a deep breath, Tian Jiyu said to the old woman while trembling with fear.
"He left?"
Hearing Tian Ji Yu's words, the old woman's eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, a cold light flashing through them, "I'll give you one more chance … Say it again! If I find out that you're lying this time, I'll make sure you die a horrible death! "
The old woman's voice was bone-chillingly cold.
"Senior, I'm telling the truth … Duan Lingtian did leave the County Governor's Mansion and the county city three days ago."
Tian Ji Yu smiled bitterly.
"As for the reason why he left, I know as well … If you want to know, I can tell you now."
Tian Ji Yu said.
"Speak!"
The old woman's narrowed eyes suddenly opened. A sharp light flashed in the depths of her eyes, like bolts of lightning intertwining together.
"Five days ago …"
Almost as soon as the old woman finished speaking, Tian Ji Yu opened his mouth. He didn't dare to hesitate and told the old woman everything that had happened in the Liu family five days ago.
…
"He's not even 100 years old, but his strength is already close to that of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?"
The old woman frowned slightly.
'That brat who defiled Miss Bing' er has such innate talent? '
The old woman was slightly taken aback.
However, although she was shocked, the killing intent in her eyes did not reduce in the slightest. She wished for nothing more than to kill Duan Ling Tian!
"In other words, he left the County City of Nine Specters County because he was worried that the other 15 counties would send powerhouses to kill him?"
The old woman asked coldly.
"Yes."
Tian Ji Yu nodded.
"Did he say he would participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties that will be held in King Qin's Mansion soon?"
The old woman asked as her eyes flashed coldly.
"He … He didn't say anything."
Tian Ji Yu replied.
Naturally, he would not tell the old woman.
He had already told Duan Lingtian that he would be in King Qin's Mansion in time to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
He still had to rely on Duan Lingtian to obtain three Mediocre Celestial Pills, the Great Overarching Pills!
He had no choice but to tell the old woman the reason why Duan Lingtian had left the County City of Nine Specters County.
He knew if the old woman asked around in the County City of Nine Specters County, she would be able to guess the reason why Duan Lingtian had left the County City of Nine Specters County.
For this reason, he did not dare to hide the truth.
