As for Duan Lingtian's participation in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, naturally, would not tell the old woman the truth.
After all, the old woman would most likely come to King Qin's Mansion and attack Duan Ling Tian when the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties was held.
At that time, unless King Qin personally intervened, no one would be able to stop the old woman.
Under such circumstances, Duan Lingtian would most likely die.
He did not want to see that happen.
After all, if Duan Lingtian died, Duan Lingtian would not be able to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. It would also mean that Duan Lingtian would not be able to win the competition and obtain the three mediocre Celestial Pills, the Great Overarching Pills, for Nine Specters County.
The Great Overarching Pills were something he had always dreamed of obtaining. He would not allow anyone to ruin his chances of obtaining the Great Overarching Pills.
Even if the person was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
"Hurmph!"
The old woman coldly snorted. Her powerful aura once again slammed into Tian Ji Yu, causing him to take a few steps back. Blood spurted out of his mouth as if it was free. His blood dyed the sky like bloody roses, dazzling and dazzling.
"Your cultivation base is close to that of an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial … You must have been stuck at this bottleneck for many years, right?"
The old woman asked as she glanced at Tian Ji Yu indifferently.
Before Tian Ji Yu could reply, the old woman continued, "At this time, if you have two or three Great Overarching Pills, it won't be difficult for you to break through the bottleneck and become an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
If I were you, I would definitely allow Duan Lingtian to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. After all, you've said it yourself that with Duan Lingtian's strength, it won't be difficult for him to win the competition.
"That's why the other 15 counties under King Qin's Mansion wanted to get rid of him and prevent him from participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties after learning of his strength."
The old woman finished speaking in one breath.
"Senior, you're right."
Tian Ji Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, I hope that Duan Lingtian will participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. After all, I do want the Great Luo Pills … However, when he left and said goodbye to me, he hinted that he didn't want to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
"I even told him that if he participated in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties and won first place … I was willing to give him one of the three Great Luo Pills. However, he didn't seem to be interested at all. He even said that if he participated in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties and won first place, the other 15 counties would try to harm him. "
"According to him … if he doesn't participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, he can still survive. Once he participates, his life may be in danger at any time, so he doesn't want to take the risk. "
Tian Jiyu said.
"Don't you know how to force him to stay and not let him leave?"
The old woman asked in a deep voice.
"Senior, if I force him to stay and don't let him leave … he will definitely die when the experts from the other 15 counties come! At that time, I won't be able to get anything out of it.
If he leaves, even if he doesn't participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, he might be grateful that I didn't force him … With his talent, he will have a bright future as long as his journey is smooth and he doesn't die prematurely.
When he becomes stronger, as long as he's grateful that I didn't force him, he might be able to help me obtain a mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Luo Pill … Therefore, letting him leave is the best choice for me. "
"Senior, what do you think?"
Tian Jiyu's words were watertight, and he could not find any flaws in them.
He had said so much because he wanted to mislead the old woman and let her know that Duan Lingtian would not participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
Otherwise, if the old woman had waited for Duan Lingtian during the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties at King Qin's Mansion, Duan Lingtian would most likely die. Even he would be implicated and would not be able to obtain the Great Luo Pills that he wanted.
One had to admit that Tian Jiyu's flawless words were very effective.
At the very least, the old woman did not doubt his words.
"When he left, did he say where he was going?"
The old woman asked in a low voice as she looked at Tian Jiyu.
When Tian Ji Yu heard the old lady's question, he knew the old lady believed his words. She did not think Duan Ling Tian would participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties held by King Qing's Mansion. For a moment, he was delighted, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
"When he left, I asked him where he wanted to go … However, at that time, he said he didn't know where he wanted to go."
Tian Jiyu smiled bitterly as he said, "Therefore, when he left, he was aimless … I don't know where he's going now. However, it's only been three days since he left, so he should still be in the Nine Specters County. "
"I hope you're not lying … If I find out that you know where he's going and don't tell me, you'll definitely die in the future!"
After the old woman finished speaking, she disappeared from Tian Jiyu's sight in just a blink of an eye.
From the beginning until the end, Tian Jiyu could not see the old woman at all. It was as though she had really disappeared into thin air.
'This old woman … I'm afraid she's not an ordinary Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.'
After the old woman left, Tian Jiyu's eyes widened in shock.
Even if King Qin from King Qin's Mansion disappeared before his eyes at the fastest speed possible, he might not be as fast as this old woman who did not leave any traces behind.
Tian Jiyu was thoroughly shocked by the old woman's strength.
'I wonder how Duan Lingtian managed to offend such a person.'
Tian Jiyu smiled bitterly.
'Wait a minute!'
Tian Jiyu suddenly thought of something. 'Duan Lingtian is not even 100 years old, but his strength is already comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial … Logically speaking, it's impossible for such a person to appear in the Nine Specters County.
"Could it be that … his' origin 'isn't simple either?"
Or perhaps, he's from a powerful force and came to the Nine Specters County because that force was annihilated. And that old woman just now was a member of the enemy force of the powerful force that had already been annihilated … "
The more Tian Jiyu thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.
Fortunately, Duan Lingtian was unaware of Tian Jiyu's current thoughts. Otherwise, he would have been impressed by Tian Jiyu's imagination.
Tian Jiyu had such thoughts because he did not know Duan Lingtian had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven less than three years ago.
'I hope that old woman won't come when the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties begins. If she comes, not only will Duan Lingtian be in trouble, but I'll be in trouble as well. After all, if she sees Duan Lingtian in King Qin's Mansion during the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, she'll definitely think I've deceived her! '
Tian Jiyu could not help but pray that the old woman would not appear in King Qin's Mansion during the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
After all, Duan Lingtian would be in King Qin's Mansion at that time.
…
Duan Lingtian was unaware that if he had left the County Governor's estate a few days later, he would have been killed by the powerhouses from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
After leaving the County Governor's estate three days ago, Duan Lingtian had been making his way to Bloody Specter City. He wanted to greet Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, before he left the Nine Specters County.
Although Duan Ling Tian and Liu Feng Gu were not close, Liu Feng Gu had indeed helped him in the past. Moreover, Liu Feng Gu was the one who had provided him with the Celestial Fire.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian decided to meet Liu Feng Gu before he left the Nine Specters County. He wanted to leave behind some prominent Celestial Stones and primitive Celestial Pills, the Spirit Hardening Pills, for Liu Feng Gu.
High-grade Celestial Stones and Spirit Nourishing Pills were easily obtainable to him now, and they weren't even worth mentioning.
However, to Liu Feng Gu, they were all precious treasures.
'I, Duan Lingtian, don't like to owe people favors … I'll leave behind some prominent Celestial Stones and Spirit Hardening Pills for City Governor Liu to repay him for telling me about the gray Celestial Fire.
Perhaps, I won't have anything to do with him in the future. '
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian left the County City of Nine Specters County and made his way to the City Governor's estate in Bloody Specter City to meet Liu Feng Gu.
"Duan Lingtian?!"
To Duan Lingtian's surprise, Liu Feng Gu was overjoyed when he saw Duan Lingtian. "You … You … You're alright?!"
It was as though Liu Feng Gu was overjoyed to see Duan Lingtian was fine.
"Hm?"
Duan Lingtian could see a hint of guilt in the depths of Liu Feng Gu's eyes. It was as though Liu Feng Gu had done him wrong.
"City Governor … What's wrong?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled. He did not understand why Liu Feng Gu would lose his composure when he saw him again.
Why would Liu Feng Gu feel guilty?
"Duan Lingtian, forgive me … I had no choice."
Liu Feng Gu sighed when he saw Duan Lingtian did not seem to know what had happened. Then, he told Duan Lingtian everything that had happened. "A few days ago, an old woman came looking for you. She asked me where you were.
She even threatened the lives of the City Governor's estate and the Black Dragon Army. I had no choice but to tell her that you went to the County Governor's estate in the County City of Nine Specters County.
She was too strong … Just her aura alone was enough to make me kneel on the ground. I was on my last breath, and I couldn't even stand up.
It felt like she was even stronger than the County Governor of Nine Specters County! "
