"Revered Elder Tian Ling … He looks like this?"
"All this while, I've only heard Revered Elder Tian Ling's voice. I thought he was an old man … I didn't expect him to be so young!"
"I didn't expect this at all … I really didn't expect this."
…
The group of people from the Flying Dragon Sect, including Vice Sect Leader Huang Guangji, could not help but exclaim.
Even for them, this was the first time they had seen the true face of their Flying Dragon Sect's Revered Elder Tian Ling. For a moment, they could not help but be shocked.
Bang!
Accompanied by an enormous bang, Duan Ling Tian abruptly exerted strength with his legs and stomped on the ground to rise up, causing the thick ground to shatter into pieces at the same time as his entire body had already soared into the sky above the combat arena.
In just a blink of an eye, he was close to the host of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
"Nine Specters County, Duan Lingtian!"
When Duan Ling Tian's indifferent voice spread out towards the surroundings, he was already standing in the sky above the combat ring, and he stood in confrontation with the Soaring Wind County's trump card, Chu Yan.
From the beginning until the end, Duan Lingtian's expression was calm. It was as though he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Nine Specters County, Duan Lingtian!
As soon as these six words left Duan Lingtian's mouth, it spread like wildfire in the air.
When the people saw the purple figure in the air, they were in an uproar.
Even more people were shocked to the point of standing up from their seats. When they secretly gasped, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian left the VIP seats, he removed the Celestial Master's Robe with the word 'Kun' on it, revealing his purple robes.
"Duan Lingtian is here?!"
"He … He's Duan Lingtian?!"
"I thought the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties would end after Chu Yan defeated Yang Jin. Who would have thought that after the County Governor of Nine Specters County bought an hour for their trump card, Duan Lingtian would appear?"
"It seems like the County Governor of Nine Specters County knew Duan Lingtian would come so he bought some time for him."
"That must be it."
…
In the surroundings of the combat arena, besides the group of people in the VIP spectating area who were still in a dazed state, the other spectating areas were extremely bustling, and a group of people were discussing animatedly.
Many people shifted their gazes from Duan Lingtian to Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
However, most people's eyes were still locked onto Duan Lingtian. They stared at Duan Lingtian, as if they were afraid that Duan Lingtian would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"He's the Duan Lingtian whose name shook the entire Duke of Qin's Manor a few months ago? He's not even 100 years old, but his strength is already comparable to a Golden Celestial? "
"In the past, I don't think there has ever been such a monster in the territories ruled by King Qin's Manor, right?"
"A year ago, he was so strong that even Pang Bing, the inner mansion elder of the County Governor's estate in Nine Specters County, felt inferior to him. Now that a year has passed, I'm sure he's even stronger than before, right?"
Perhaps, he's already a Great Overarching Golden Celestial now! "
"A Golden Celestial who's not even 100 years old … Such a person is rare even in the high-rank Celestial Kingdoms, let alone the intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdom, the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, which is under King Qin's Manor's jurisdiction."
…
Numerous burning gazes landed on Duan Ling Tian, causing him to become the absolute center of attention.
Before Duan Lingtian's appearance, Duan Lingtian had attracted the most attention among the 13 trump cards selected by the 13 counties in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
Even before Duan Lingtian's appearance, many people were still talking about him, saying that Chu Yan would not be able to win the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
However, Duan Lingtian had appeared.
Everyone's attention was completely focused on him. Almost no one was distracted.
"Duan Lingtian?!"
Qin Yu abruptly rose from his luxurious seat behind the curtain of the VIP spectator area.
He was happy that Duan Lingtian was safe and sound. However, when he thought about the possibility that the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was targeting Duan Lingtian, his expression changed immediately.
According to his uncle, the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was a Celestial Duke.
A Celestial Duke was a powerhouse that was superior to an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
If such a powerhouse attacked with all his might, he could even annihilate King Qin's Manor!
'Duan Lingtian, why did you come out at this time?
Even if you want to come out, you should've contacted me first! '
At this moment, Qin Yu's heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
At this moment, he did not use Voice Transmission to communicate with Duan Ling Tian because he knew it was too late even if he did so now.
If the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was targeting Duan Lingtian, it would be futile even if he warned Duan Lingtian.
On the other hand, if the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was not targeting Duan Lingtian, he would only distract Duan Lingtian.
After all, Duan Lingtian was preparing to participate in the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties and fight Chu Yan from the Soaring Wind County.
'I hope the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect isn't targeting Duan Lingtian …'
Qin Yu prayed inwardly.
'However, I didn't expect Duan Lingtian to be sitting in the VIP spectator area so close to me! Why didn't he send me a Voice Transmission? If he had sent me a Voice Transmission, I could've contacted him privately and asked if he had any enmity with the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. '
Qin Yu sighed inwardly.
Earlier, he had also noticed the commotion in the VIP spectator area.
But because there were many people in the VIP spectating area between him and Duan Ling Tian, he didn't see Duan Ling Tian's true appearance clearly at the first possible moment, and it was to the extent that he didn't have the time to react before Duan Ling Tian appeared in the sky above the combat arena.
By the time he regained his senses, Duan Lingtian had already appeared in the air above the combat ring in front of everyone.
He was Duan Lingtian from the Nine Specters County!
"Yu 'er … So he's Duan Lingtian?"
King Qin, who was sitting at the side, looked at the purple-clad young man in the air above the combat ring.
"Yes."
Qin Yu smiled wryly. "I didn't expect him to be here so early … I also didn't expect him to be the primitive Celestial Alchemist from the Flying Dragon Sect."
"He's very well-hidden."
King Qin said.
At the same time, King Qin was also puzzled.
Since Duan Lingtian had come to the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties, why did he not show up?
Why did he only show up now?
If King Qin had not agreed to the County Governor's request to wait for Duan Lingtian, the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties would have ended earlier.
Once the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties ended, it would be meaningless for Duan Lingtian to show up again.
However, Duan Lingtian had appeared again.
Moreover, he had not just arrived. In fact, he had arrived a long time ago and was hiding in the VIP spectator area with another identity.
"This is King Qin's Mansion. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have to worry about the people from the other 15 counties plotting against him. Why hasn't he shown up yet? Why did he almost miss the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties?
Could it be that he knows the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is targeting him?
However, that doesn't make sense. If he knows the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is targeting him, why would he show up now?
Even if he guessed the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect might not be here, there's no need for him to take the risk, right? "
The more King Qin thought about it, the more confused he became.
At the same time, King Qin could not help but look at the people from Fair Mountain County. Finally, his gaze landed on the grey-robed man standing next to Wang Qi Ling, the County Governor of Fair Mountain County.
The grey-robed man was a core elder of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, a Celestial Duke.
"Senior, Duan Lingtian has shown up … Why aren't you making a move yet?"
Wang Qi Ling, the County Governor of Fair Mountain County, became anxious when he saw Duan Lingtian had shown up for a while, but the person next to him did not seem to have any intention of making a move.
If the person next to him made a move after Duan Lingtian had defeated Chu Yan, then Duan Lingtian would be ranked first in the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties.
At that time, Fair Mountain County would have one less mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill.
At that time, Yang Jin from Fair Mountain County would only be ranked third in the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties. He would only be able to obtain one Great Overarching Pill for Fair Mountain County.
Wang Qi Ling had thought the person next to Duan Lingtian would kill Duan Lingtian as soon as Duan Lingtian appeared.
He did not expect the person next to him would not make a move.
"It's not up to you to tell me what to do!"
The old woman's cold voice rang from under the grey-robed man's robe.
When Wang Qi Ling heard this, his face turned pale again. He lowered his head and said apologetically, "Senior, I was too impatient … I was too impatient …"
Although Wang Qi Ling did not know the old woman's identity, he knew that she was a Celestial Duke.
However, after the confrontation between King Qin and the old woman, he realized something was amiss.
Even King Qin would have to lower his head in front of this old woman!
At that time, King Qin had asked him to say that the old woman was deaf and mute to give him a way out.
How could someone who even King Qin had to give him a way out be an ordinary person?
King Qin's actions showed that even he could not afford to offend this old woman!
How could a mere County Governor under King Qin's command offend someone that even King Qin could not afford to offend?
Wang Qi Ling was certain.
Even if the old woman killed him now, he would die in vain. King Qin would not avenge him, and he might not even have the ability to do so.
Because of this, when he heard the cold anger in the old woman's tone, he also felt a bit of fear and trepidation.
"He's Duan Lingtian? The man who took Miss Bing 'er's virginity? "
