On the last day of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, the top 10 contestants would fight each other.
Of course, it was hard to say whether these ten strongest people were the ones who came to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties held in King Qin's Mansion.
This was because there were still many young experts from the 16 counties who had yet to make a move.
King Qin's Mansion had set a rule for the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
In any of the 16 counties, they could choose one person as their trump card to fight for the top three positions in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
King Qin's Mansion had set this rule so that the strongest young expert from each of the 16 counties would be in the best condition to fight for the top three in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
However, if the young experts from the 16 counties did not even make it to the top 10 in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, their counties would be punished. They would have to pay three times the usual amount of prominent Celestial Stones every year for the next ten years.
Of course, if any of the 16 counties were not confident, they could choose not to keep their trump cards.
King Qin's Mansion would not force them to do so.
However, if any of the 16 counties kept their trump cards, they would have to follow the rule set by King Qin's Mansion. If they did not make it to the top 10 in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, they would have to pay more Celestial Stones every year.
Among the 16 counties under King Qin's Mansion, three of them were not confident in their young experts and did not keep their trump cards.
As for the other thirteen counties, they had all kept their trump cards.
This included Nine Specters County.
Nine Specters County's trump card was Duan Lingtian, who had yet to show up.
If Duan Lingtian did not show up today and did not make it to the top three in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, they would be considered absent and would be automatically excluded from the top 10. Nine Specters County would also be punished.
Therefore, the people of Nine Specters County were very anxious these two days.
"It's the last day … Why isn't Duan Lingtian here yet? Could something have happened to him? "
Qin Yu was the only contestant from Nine Specters County who had made it to the top 10 in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
Of course, the top 10 was not enough to make the people of Nine Specters County happy because there were still 13 contestants who had not shown up yet. Moreover, 12 of them were the trump cards of the other 12 counties, and their strength was not inferior to Qin Yu.
Only the top 10 contestants who made it to the top 3 in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties would be rewarded by King Qin's Mansion.
Although Qin Yu made it to the top 10 in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, it did not mean that he would stay there forever.
Qin Yu's Specters County, Specters of the 16 Specters of the 16 Specters County.
Qin Yu's Specters County's Specters.
However, at this moment, he could not help but worry about Duan Ling Tian's safety.
"County Chief Tian."
At this moment, Wang Qi Ling, the County Governor of Fair Mountain County, arrived next to Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County. He said with a faint smile on his face, "The trump card of Nine Specters County should be Duan Ling Tian, right? However, it seems like he hasn't shown up yet.
"I heard he left the County City of Nine Specters County about a year ago. Did he die outside during this time?"
The smile on Wang Qi Ling's face grew wider and wider as he asked.
"The Martial Competition of the 16 Counties … Isn't it still ongoing?"
Tian Ji Yu narrowed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "County Governor Wang, it seems like you can't wait for Duan Lingtian to show up … It seems like you don't have much confidence in Yang Jin from Fair Mountain County."
Towards the end, Tian Ji Yu's tone was laced with a hint of mockery.
Yang Jin was Fair Mountain County's trump card in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, and he had not shown up yet.
Although Yang Jin had not shown up yet, his strength was widely acknowledged in Fair Mountain County. He might not be as strong as Duan Lingtian, but his reputation in Fair Mountain County was on par with Duan Lingtian in Nine Specters County.
"If it's someone else, I wouldn't have no confidence in Yang Jin. However, if it's Duan Lingtian, I don't have much confidence in Yang Jin. It's not just Yang Jin, I believe the other trump cards from the other 11 counties don't have confidence in Nine Specters County's Duan Lingtian as well. "
Wang Qi Ling was not angered by Tian Ji Yu's words. Instead, he continued to say, "After all, Duan Lingtian from Nine Specters County displayed strength comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the Liu Clan in Nine Specters County about a year ago.
Even Pang Bing, the strongest person below Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County, admitted that he's no match for Duan Lingtian.
How can I have confidence in Yang Jin from Fair Mountain County if he's the strongest person below Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County? After all, Yang Jin's strength is far inferior to Pang Bing, the strongest person below Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County. "
Not only did Wang Qi Ling acknowledge Duan Lingtian's strength, but he even praised Duan Lingtian's strength.
If one did not know better, one would think that Duan Lingtian was one of Wang Qi Ling's subordinates and not from Nine Specters County.
The strongest person below the Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County was none other than Duan Ling Tian who had left Nine Specters County a year ago and had not been heard from since.
"County Chief Wang, you're quite self-aware."
Tian Ji Yu did not know how to respond to Wang Qi Ling's words when he heard Wang Qi Ling praising Duan Ling Tian. He looked at Wang Qi Ling intently before he said, "You're right.
"County Chief Tian … Don't tell me Duan Lingtian from Nine Specters County is already here? Did you hide him? "
Wang Qi Ling looked deeply at Tian Ji Yu and asked with a deep and meaningful tone.
"County Chief Wang, you seem to be very interested in Duan Lingtian."
Tian Ji Yu replied.
"Of course … I'm sure I'm not the only one. The other 14 County Chiefs are also very interested in Duan Lingtian. It's said that even Lord King Qin from our King Qin's Mansion has mentioned Duan Ling Tian before. "
A hint of envy could be seen in Wang Qi Ling's eyes when he reached the end of his sentence.
"County Chief Tian, I'm really curious … Is Duan Lingtian here?"
Wang Qi Ling asked again.
He did not notice that his tone was slightly anxious when he asked this question. It was as though he wanted to know if Duan Lingtian was here or not.
"County Chief Wang, didn't you say that Duan Lingtian might have perished outside?"
Tian Ji Yu asked nonchalantly.
"I was just joking."
Wang Qi Ling's expression froze when he heard Tian Ji Yu's words. He could not help but smile awkwardly.
"County Chief Wang, if you want to know if Duan Lingtian is here or not, you'll find out in the afternoon. Today, the top 10 and top 3 of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties will be fighting. "
Tian Ji Yu said nonchalantly, "If Duan Lingtian doesn't show up, he'll definitely show up in the afternoon.
However, I think … County Chief Wang, you don't want him to show up, right? "
A hint of mockery could be seen in Tian Ji Yu's eyes as he looked at Wang Qi Ling.
"Of course not!"
Wang Qi Ling shook his head and smiled. "I'm looking forward to his appearance … Although I know he'll definitely be the champion of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, I'm still curious. He's not even 100 years old, and he's the strongest person in Nine Specters County below the age of Great Overarching Golden Celestial. "
Wang Qi Ling's words were sincere. It was as though he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
However, was that really the case?
"County Chief Tian, the battle for the top 3 of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties is about to begin … The trump cards of each county are about to be revealed. I'll return to the spectator stand where the people from Fair Mountain County are. "
Wang Qi Ling bade farewell to Tian Ji Yu before he left.
"I won't see you out!"
Tian Ji Yu glanced at Wang Qi Ling's back and said slowly, "You're a genius."
After Wang Qi Ling left, Tian Ji Yu could not help but feel a sense of anxiety in the depths of his eyes …
Today was the last day of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
However, until now, he still did not see Duan Ling Tian at all. It was as though Duan Ling Tian had not arrived in King Qin's Mansion at all.
On the other side.
After Wang Qi Ling returned to the spectator stand where the people from Fair Mountain County were, he walked up to a skinny man in a gray robe. His face could not be seen clearly. Wang Qi Ling said respectfully through Voice Transmission, "Senior, I've tested Tian Ji Yu … but I didn't get anything out of him."
"He's very cunning. He's always trying to change the subject."
Wang Qi Ling replied through Voice Transmission.
"It doesn't matter."
An old man replied calmly through Voice Transmission. "Today is the last day of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. If Duan Lingtian is here, he'll show up in the afternoon at the latest. If he doesn't show up, it means he has no intention of participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. "
"Who's that?"
The few Elders and Honorary Elders who had followed Wang Qi Ling to King Qin's Mansion saw their Prefectural Governor standing beside the mysterious man in the grey robe. They could not help but feel their hearts tremble.
They were curious about the identity of the man in the gray robe and why their County Chief treated him in such a manner.
"This man … Could he be the person Lord County Chief hired to kill Duan Lingtian?"
An elder from the Fair Mountain County's County Chief's Mansion guessed in a low voice.
"That's impossible!"
Another elder said, "If Lord County Chief hired someone to kill Duan Lingtian … Lord King Qin would not let Lord County Chief off so easily. After all, this is King Qin's Mansion! "
"Duan Lingtian hasn't shown up yet. He might not come … If he doesn't come, Yang Jin has a high chance of winning the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties."
