After listening to Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, 'Duan Ling Tian was impressed by Liu Feng Gu's meticulous analysis of the situation.
Upon hearing Liu Feng Gu's words, Duan Lingtian's expression turned grave.
Indeed.
If the old woman was so strong that even King Qin's Mansion could not defeat her, who would be able to save him if she waited for him in King Qin's Mansion?
"That old woman … Who is she?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian realized the old woman's identity was not certain.
Unless he could confirm the old woman's identity and strength, it would be risky for him to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties that was going to be held in King Qin's Mansion.
Initially, he knew the old woman's strength was on par with the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
However, he did not expect the old woman's strength to be stronger than the powerhouses in King Qin's Mansion.
After all, the powerhouses in King Qin's Mansion were much stronger than the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
"Unless you can confirm the old woman's identity and strength, I don't approve of you participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties that will be held in King Qin's Mansion!"
Liu Feng Gu added.
"Thank you for your reminder, City Governor Liu."
After thanking Liu Feng Gu, the slightly upset Duan Ling Tian left in the end. However, he remembered Liu Feng Gu's final words and did not dare to be careless about it.
After all, his life was at stake!
"Sigh …"
After Duan Lingtian left, Liu Feng Gu sighed as he looked at the Spatial Ring in his hand.
Unknowingly, he tightened his grip on the Spatial Ring. "Duan Lingtian, I hope you'll remember my words … It's best if you don't participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties that will be held in King Qin's Mansion and stay away from the area that King Qin's Mansion controls!"
Outside Bloody Specter City.
Swoosh!
Duan Lingtian walked in the air like a shooting star toward the border of Nine Specters County, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian did not know where he was going so he walked aimlessly.
At this very moment, his mind was in a complete mess.
"That old woman … who is she?"
"Since she wants to kill me, there must be a reason … However, after I ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, I don't think I've offended anyone with a backer like this old woman, right?"
…
Duan Lingtian began to recall everything that had happened since he had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven two and a half years ago.
He really wanted to know where exactly that old woman had come from, and why she had come ….
"Could it be … her?!"
As he thought about it, Duan Lingtian's mind flashed. A figure also appeared in his mind and did not disappear for a long time.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, Duan Lingtian stopped in his tracks.
His thoughts seemed to have returned to the time when he had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven …
He was originally walking aimlessly on the streets of Bloody Specter City.
All of a sudden, the noise and clamor in the surroundings seemed to come to an abrupt halt and completely disappeared.
It was as though the people in the surroundings were being strangled and could not make a sound.
At that time, Duan Lingtian had also stopped in his tracks.
He realized that a group of people on the street were all looking behind him, as if there was something behind him that made them absent-minded ….
"What's it that's causing them to be unable to make a sound?"
At that time, Duan Lingtian had also slowly turned around out of curiosity.
As soon as Duan Lingtian turned around, he saw a graceful figure in front of him. He could not help but exclaim inwardly, "What a beautiful woman!"
He thought to himself, 'What a beautiful woman!'
The reason why such a large street had become strangely quiet was all because of that woman.
The woman was dressed in a light purple dress. Her eyebrows were like jade, her skin was as fair as snow, and her waist was slim.
Although there was a thin veil covering half of her face, her pair of clear and cold autumn eyes, as well as her elegant and refined temperament, were enough to make everything around her pale in comparison.
Apart from that, her face was also covered by the veil.
However, because the veil was half transparent, the outline of her face was faintly discernible, and one could vaguely see the perfect curve of her face.
It made one have the urge to lift the veil and take a look at her face.
One could imagine how charming she was even with the veil on her face.
If the veil was removed, one could only imagine how beautiful she would be without the veil on her face.
As the woman walked gracefully, the crowd quietly parted to form a path for her.
At this moment, everyone, regardless of gender, was looking at the woman with infatuation.
It was as though the woman had some kind of magical power.
If it was any other time, many men would have lustful thoughts when they saw such a peerless beauty.
However, at this moment, none of the men present had any strange expressions on their faces. When they looked at the woman, apart from a brief moment of amazement, there was only reverence in their eyes.
It was as though the woman was a holy being who was high and mighty and could not be profaned.
…
"Murong Bing …"
After a while, Duan Lingtian finally regained his senses and sighed deeply.
When he was in the mundane realm, he already had two wives and one confidante. He only acknowledged those three women in his heart.
Although there were many other women around him, none of them had gained his approval.
He had always treated them as ordinary friends.
He had always thought he was very lucky to have two wives and one confidante. He had always hoped that his love life would be in question.
He locked the door to his heart and allowed the beauties to swarm him, but he remained motionless.
However, it did not cross his mind that he would fall into a trap.
After he had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, he had unknowingly gotten intimate with a woman whom he did not really like but had only met once. Moreover, he had unknowingly gotten intimate with a woman whom he did not really like but had only met once.
Although they were not husband and wife in name, they were still husband and wife in reality.
"I'll find you … The woman I, Duan Lingtian, have slept with can only belong to me, Duan Lingtian!"
That was what Duan Ling Tian had said when Murong Bing left.
In his heart, he had already regarded Murong Bing as his woman.
"Is that old woman related to her?
If she wanted to kill me, she could've done it herself. There's no need for her to send someone to kill me now, right? "
As Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, he thought,
It was unlikely that Murong Bing had sent the old woman to kill him.
If Murong Bing wanted to kill him, she would've done it herself.
Even if she regretted not killing him and wanted to kill him again, there was no need for her to send someone else to do it.
After all, as a woman, her chastity was very important to her. It was impossible for her to tell others that her chastity had been ruined.
"If the old woman didn't come for her, who did she come for?"
Unknowingly, Duan Ling Tian noticed that he'd once again returned to a dead end, and he was completely at a loss.
"If the old woman really came for her, I'm afraid I can't go to the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties in King Qin's Mansion."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
He had seen Murong Bing's strength before. She was very powerful.
Moreover, Murong Bing's background was not simple. She seemed to be from a powerful sect that possessed a Sect Guarding Celestial Weapon.
If the old woman came for Murong Bing, it meant she was probably from that sect as well.
It was impossible for someone from that sect to be afraid of King Qin's Mansion.
…
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, almost a year had passed.
The Martial Competition of the 16 Counties in King Qin's Mansion was about to begin.
The Duke of Qin's Manor was not only a general name for a faction, but also a general name for a region. It was also a general name for a vast and boundless manor.
The King City of King Qin's Mansion was located on a vast grassland. From afar, it looked like a giant beast lying on the grassland. It lay there quietly and motionlessly as though it was asleep.
This giant beast, which seemed to be asleep, opened its four bloody mouths at all times, allowing the passersby to pass through it freely.
It was rare to see people walking on the top of the giant beast's head.
This was because King Qin's Mansion had a rule in King Qin's Mansion. Those who entered or left King Qin's Mansion were not allowed to walk on air. They had to follow the rules and enter through the four gates of King Qin's Mansion.
King Qin's Mansion was too big, and a big city meant a lot of people.
When there were more people, it would naturally become chaotic.
In order to better maintain the security of King Qin's Mansion, King Qin's Mansion had set up such a rule.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Accompanied by the sound of wind whistling, two groups of people came from two different directions. They came to the east gate of Royal City, and the number of people was about the same, a total of more than 30 people.
The two groups of people were led by a middle-aged man who exuded a majestic aura. It was obvious he had been in a high position for a long time.
When the two groups of people arrived at the eastern gate of King Qin's Mansion, they flew down together.
They did not dare to violate the rule of not allowing people to enter or leave King Qin's Mansion.
"County Governor Tian, what a coincidence … I didn't expect to meet you outside King Qin's Mansion."
One of the middle-aged men said to the other middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man who was addressed as County Governor Tian was none other than Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
Apart from the two inner mansion elders and a few Revered Elders, the rest of the people behind Tian Ji Yu were all young men who were younger than 100 years old. There were 29 of them in total.
One of the new faces was none other than Zhou Fei, the adopted son of Zhou Tong, the First Revered Elder of Nine Specters County.
If Duan Lingtian was here, he would have recognized him immediately.
