"Stronger than the County Governor?"
Duan Lingtian's expression turned grim when he heard Liu Feng Gu's words.
With his current strength, even if he used the Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, he would only be able to fight to a draw with the County Governor of Nine Specters County. It would be difficult for him to defeat the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
After all, not only was the County Governor of Nine Specters County stronger than Zhou Tong, the Great Overarching Golden Celestial whom he had killed, but the County Governor's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were superior as well.
For this reason, although Duan Lingtian had consumed the Gilded Golden Pill and become a Green Sun Golden Celestial, he did not dare to say he was stronger than the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
It would be difficult for him to defeat the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
Let alone someone stronger than the County Governor of Nine Specters County!
"Old woman?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Liu Feng Gu and asked, "City Governor Liu, why is the old woman looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian could not figure it out.
He had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven not long ago. Why would someone stronger than the County Governor of Nine Specters County come looking for him?
"I don't know why she's looking for you. However, I'm certain she's up to no good. Although she didn't show it on her face when she mentioned you, I can see the killing intent in her eyes. It's obvious she wants to kill you! "
Liu Feng Gu said in a deep voice.
"Kill me?"
Duan Ling Tian's pupils constricted as shock appeared on his face. It was as if waves of tempestuous waves had been set off in his heart.
'It's been less than three years since I ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. I've been staying in Nine Specters County for the past three years. How could I have offended someone so powerful?
'Could it be that Yun Qing Yan from the Divine Offering Land sent someone to kill me?'
However, isn't the passage from the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realms closed? How could Yun Qing Yan send someone to kill me when he's trapped in the Divine Offering Land?
Moreover, if they're sent by Yun Qing Yan, there's no need for them to search for me in Bloody Specter City, right? '
Duan Lingtian recalled the person Yun Qing Yan had sent to the mundane realm to kill him. That person had appeared in Yan Huang Realm through a tear in space. Based on his words, he had said he was stronger than most Heavenly Emperors in the Devata Realms.
If Yun Qing Yan had sent someone to kill him, there was no need for him to come to Nine Specters County. Once he entered King Qin's Mansion, he would be able to locate him with just a thought.
"If it wasn't Yun Qing Yan, who could it be?"
"Based on what I've done after coming to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, I don't think I've had any interactions with experts of that level, right?"
Duan Lingtian could not understand why such a powerful existence would target him and even want to kill him.
One needed a motive to kill someone.
However, he really couldn't think of any motive that the old woman had to kill him.
"Duan Lingtian, you've only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for less than three years. How did you offend such a powerful existence?"
Liu Feng Gu asked as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"I don't know either."
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He was completely baffled as well. He did not know how he could have offended such an existence.
"Could it be … Could it be because of Zhou Tong?"
Liu Feng Gu asked as he inhaled sharply.
"Zhou Tong?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "Put aside the fact that we're the only ones who know Zhou Tong was killed by you, we're the only ones who know I brought Zhou Tong to Bloody Specter City and handed him over to you.
If the old woman came for Zhou Tong, it's impossible for her to only target me. Moreover, she didn't make things difficult for you after meeting you. This means she's looking for me and wants to kill me. It has nothing to do with Zhou Tong. "
Duan Lingtian analyzed the situation.
Liu Feng Gu nodded after listening to Duan Lingtian's analysis. Clearly, he agreed with Duan Lingtian's analysis. "If that's the case, why is she targeting you?
Could it be an expert hired by the other 15 counties to kill me? "
Duan Lingtian asked with a frown on his face.
"An expert hired by the other 15 counties?"
Liu Feng Gu was stunned.
"Impossible … If she's hired by the other 15 counties to kill me, it's impossible that she doesn't know I'm in the County City of Nine Specters County. Moreover, I'm afraid the other 15 County Governors aren't aware of what I've done in the County City. "
After thinking about it, Duan Lingtian felt it was impossible for the old woman to be hired by the other 15 counties.
"Duan Lingtian, what are you talking about?
Why would the other 15 counties hire an expert to kill you? "
Liu Feng Gu asked.
Although news of what Duan Lingtian had done in the County City of Nine Specters County had spread throughout Nine Specters County, due to time constraints, it did not reach Bloody Specter City.
In response to Liu Feng Gu's question, Duan Ling Tian recounted everything that had happened in the Liu clan.
Apart from that, he also told Liu Feng Gu the reason he had left the County City and the County Governor's estate.
"I see …" Liu Feng Gu exclaimed in realization.
Liu Feng Gu was enlightened. He could not help but rejoice as he said, "It seems like the old lady who left our Bloody Specter City for the County City passed by you."
"If that's the case, I'm lucky to have left the County City alive?"
As Duan Ling Tian's eyes gleamed, he could not help but rejoice.
"Duan Lingtian, since you've left the County City and Nine Specters County, why are you here in Bloody Specter City?"
Liu Feng Gu asked.
"I'm here to bid farewell to you, City Governor. Also, I want to thank you for telling me about the Celestial Fire."
Duan Lingtian did not beat around the bush.
"You … You obtained the Celestial Fire?"
Liu Feng Gu's eyes lit up immediately.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Is it a primitive Celestial Fire?"
Liu Feng Gu asked again.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Initially, I didn't know what grade the Celestial Fire was. However, when I tried to refine the primitive Celestial Pill, the Spirit Nourishing Pill, I discovered it had run out of energy. At that time, I was certain it was a primitive Celestial Fire. "
Indeed, Duan Lingtian's gray flame was only comparable to a primitive Celestial Fire.
He didn't tell Liu Feng Gu that most of the gray flames were hidden in the metal fragments, and he couldn't use them yet. This was because he wasn't sure if he would be able to use the remaining gray flames in the future.
If he could use the remaining gray flame, it would definitely be comparable to a mediocre Celestial Fire.
"Although it's a primitive Celestial Fire, since it's a primitive Celestial Fire that can only be obtained by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, it's obviously not an ordinary primitive Celestial Fire. Duan Lingtian, congratulations on obtaining a primitive Celestial Fire and becoming a primitive Celestial Alchemist. "
Liu Feng Gu congratulated Duan Lingtian.
"It's all thanks to you, City Governor. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Celestial Fire and become a Celestial Alchemist."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly as he took out a Spatial Ring and handed it to Liu Feng Gu.
"What's this?"
Liu Feng Gu was stunned.
"I don't know when I'll be back after I leave. Take these as a reward for providing me with the Celestial Fire."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Duan Lingtian."
Liu Feng Gu smiled wryly. "When I betrayed you and told that old woman about your whereabouts, you've already repaid the favor you owed me. If we're talking about who owes you, I'm the one who owes you.
You avenged my direct disciple, but I repaid your kindness with ingratitude … "
The more Liu Feng Gu spoke, the guiltier the expression on his face became.
"City Governor, you didn't have a choice. I understand. Moreover, I'm fine now, aren't I? "
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "Just accept it. It's a token of my appreciation."
Under Duan Ling Tian's persuasion, Liu Feng Gu finally accepted the Spatial Ring. However, when he saw the mountain of prominent Celestial Stones and dozens of bottles of primitive Celestial Pills, the Spirit Nourishing Pills, he hastily removed the Claim on the Spatial Ring.
"Duan Lingtian, this is too much … You should keep these Celestial Stones and Spirit Nourishing Pills for yourself."
Liu Feng Gu handed the Spatial Ring back to Duan Lingtian.
"City Governor, please accept it … I don't lack Celestial Stones and Spirit Nourishing Pills now."
Duan Lingtian did not accept the Spatial Ring. He shook his head and said, "Now that I've achieved my purpose of returning to Bloody Specter City, it's time for me to leave. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come back to visit you."
"Duan Lingtian!"
Liu Feng Gu called out to Duan Lingtian before he was about to leave. With a solemn expression on his face, Liu Feng Gu asked, "You … Don't tell me you're still going to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties?"
"I've promised the County Governor."
Duan Ling Tian said, "Moreover, if I win first place in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, I'll definitely be valued by King Qin's Mansion. At that time, I'll be able to use the cultivation environment and resources provided by King Qin's Mansion to further improve my cultivation!"
"But … If that old woman is waiting for you in King Qin's Mansion, won't you be in danger? After all, she's stronger than the County Governor. At that time, even the County Governor might not be able to protect you. "
Liu Feng Gu said with a wry smile.
"King Qin's Mansion is filled with experts … I don't think she'll dare to cause trouble there, right?"
Duan Lingtian said with a frown on his face.
"It's hard to say … After all, I'm only certain she's stronger than the County Governor. As for whether there's anyone in King Qin's Mansion who can stop her, I can't say for sure. "
Liu Feng Gu said with a hint of fear on his face, "If she can't find you in the County City of Nine Specters County, she'll be able to find out why you left the County City.
"She will most likely wait for you at King Qin's Mansion when the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties is held!"
Liu Feng Gu said.
"Unless … You're certain she's not strong enough to cause any trouble in King Qin's Mansion."
Liu Feng Gu added.
