A green-robed old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion stood there proudly like an otherworldly expert.
A young man in a snow-white robe had a handsome face and a pair of eyes that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life added a peculiar charm to him.
A middle-aged man with a stocky back and a bear-like waist was dressed in a long grayish-brown robe. He had a square face and a pair of eyes that were as big as copper gongs, giving off an invisible deterrence.
The three of them were three of the four strongest intermediate deities in Mountain Overlook City.
Meng Jinhua of the Meng Family.
You Xuehan of the Morning Cloud Sect.
Ouyang Wudi of the Celestial Sect.
The three of them and the intermediate deity of the Qian Family. Although the people of Mountain Overlook City knew of their existence, they had not appeared in public for a long time.
No one had expected three of them to appear at this time.
Moreover, they appeared in a group.
"Young Master Duan, this is the Meng Family's old ancestor and also our intermediate deity."
At the same time, Meng Nianyu, the patriarch of the Meng Family, and the sect masters of the Morning Cloud Sect and Celestial Sect introduced the newcomers one after another.
However, Duan Ling Tian merely glanced at the three Intermediate Deities from the three major forces indifferently before he shifted his gaze away. At the same time, he looked at Qian Fei who seemed to be in a daze or in a state of shock. He did not know if he was looking at Qian Fei mockingly.
Qian Fei's eyes were empty and lifeless as if he had lost his soul. He stood there without any reaction for a long time.
It was more like he was scared out of his wits.
"Qian Wuliang, why haven't you come out to greet Young Master Duan? Do you think he's not worthy of your greeting?"
The intermediate deity of the Celestial Sect, Ouyang Wudi, suddenly spoke. His voice spread throughout the entire Qian Family Mansion in the blink of an eye.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, an angry voice came from within the Qian Family Mansion. "Qian Wuliang, don't you dare slander me!"
As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man in a long blue robe appeared in front of everyone.
"Qian Wuliang of the Qian Family greets Young Master Duan."
The middle-aged man had a medium build and an ordinary face. There was nothing special about him. After he appeared, he immediately bowed to Duan Lingtian.
This Qian Wuliang was the intermediate deity of the Qian Family.
"Ancestor!"
When Qian Wuliang bowed to Duan Lingtian, someone from the Qian Family stood up and said angrily, "Qian Fei killed the innocent and should be punished. Ancestor, please judge clearly!"
"Ancestor, Qian Fei can't stay!"
"Old Ancestor, please investigate thoroughly."
…
The members of the Qian Family who spoke up now seemed to be afraid that the head of the Qian Family, Qian Yuejin, would protect Qian Fei. They all pleaded with Qian Wuliang.
Although Qian Wuliang wasn't the Patriarch of the Qian Family, he was the only Intermediate Deity in the Qian Family in Mountainside City. Therefore, his position in the Qian Family was above that of the Patriarch, and he played the role of a 'retired emperor'.
In the Qian Family, he could still refute the Family Head's words.
However, no one could refute his words, and no one dared to.
"Young Master Duan."
When Qian Wu Liang looked at the Clan Leader of Qian Clan, Qian Yue Jin, with a frown on his face, Qian Yue Jin knew even the old ancestor had misunderstood him. He quickly looked at Duan Ling Tian and said respectfully, "Although Qian Fei is my son, he deserved to die for committing such heinous acts!"
"Also, I, Qian Yuejin, failed to educate my son well. I'm willing to break one of my arms to comfort the souls of the Duan Family's Southern Manor!"
Almost as soon as Qian Yuejin finished speaking, he raised his hand and chopped off his left arm.
Swoosh!
Fresh blood splattered all over Qian Fei's face.
At this moment, Qian Fei shuddered and regained his senses. He looked at Duan Lingtian in fear and knelt down again. "Young Master Duan, please spare my life. Please spare my life!"
"I didn't kill anyone from the Duan Family's Southern Manor with my own hands. It was Grandfather Qiu and the people from the Tie Family Village who did it!"
When they heard Qian Fei's words, everyone in the Qian Family looked at him with disdain. "Elder Qian Qiu must be blind to value him so much … Elder Qian Qiu was so nice to him, but in the end, he turned the tables on him."
"Ingrate! He's an ingrate! "
…
While everyone in the Qian Family was feeling indignant for Qian Qiu, Qian Qiu sighed and stepped forward at the same time. He raised his hand and slapped Qian Fei's head, killing him and leaving his corpse intact.
Then, he stepped into the air, and in front of everyone in the Qian Family and Duan Lingtian, his body was completely enveloped by divine power. He then exploded and turned into ashes.
After killing Qian Fei, Qian Qiu chose to commit suicide.
From the beginning to the end, Duan Lingtian did not say that he wanted his life, but he still committed suicide.
Of course, although Duan Lingtian did not say anything, he did not plan to let Qian Qiu go after Qian Fei died.
If Qian Fei was the culprit, then Qian Qiu was an accomplice.
This time, Duan Lingtian did not plan to let either of them go.
"Young Master Duan."
At the same time, the Qian Family Patriarch, Qian Yuejin, who was secretly discussing with Qian Wuliang through voice transmission, looked at Duan Lingtian with a respectful expression. He did not show any dissatisfaction that his most beloved son had died because of this person in front of him. "Please wait for a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Yuejin left under the puzzled gazes of Duan Lingtian and the others.
When Qian Yuejin returned again, it was already more than ten breaths later. He respectfully handed a storage ring in his hand to Duan Lingtian. "Young Master Duan, there are thirty thousand divine stones inside. It's a token of our Qian Family's sincerity."
Qian Yuejin was just discussing with Qian Wuliang whether they could pay to get rid of this calamity so that this malefic would forget his conflict and hatred with the Qian Family.
Even if Duan Lingtian did not touch the Qian Family today, who knew if he would suddenly make a move on the Qian Family in the future?
Instead of waiting for the risk of being destroyed, it was better to pay a little money to get rid of this calamity.
"Thank you very much."
Duan Lingtian did not decline the divine stones that Qian Yuejin handed over. The thirty thousand divine stones showed the Qian Family's sincerity. At the same time, it was also the first money he had earned after coming to the Xuangang Land. "From now on, I have nothing to do with the Qian Family."
"Thank you, Young Master Duan."
Qian Yuejin quickly bowed. This was what he and the Qian Family wanted.
Although Qian Wuliang and the other members of the Qian Family were a little pained to lose thirty thousand divine stones, after hearing Duan Lingtian's words, they all felt that the thirty thousand divine stones were worth it. Only by paying to get rid of this calamity could they ensure the safety of the Qian Family.
The Meng Family Patriarch, Yunchen Sect Patriarch, and Celestial Sect Patriarch looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Even the intermediate deities from the three clans looked astonished at this moment.
They did not expect the Qian Family to be so willing to pay thirty thousand divine stones to get rid of this calamity.
As forces of the same level, they knew that the Qian Family could only take out a few tens of thousands of divine stones at most. It was almost impossible for them to take out more than fifty thousand divine stones.
But now, they took out thirty thousand divine stones at once.
"Young Master Duan."
While the six people with the highest positions in the Meng Family, Yunchen Sect, and Celestial Sect were shocked, the Meng Family's Divine Alchemist, Meng Qiyou, looked at Duan Lingtian and said respectfully, "I wonder if you have time to visit our Meng Family?"
In the past, Meng Qiyou called Duan Lingtian "Young Ling Tian".
However, after seeing Duan Lingtian's strength, he did not dare to call him that anymore and changed the way he addressed him.
"Alright."
Just when the people of Yunchen Sect and Celestial Sect thought that Meng Qiyou was going to be rejected, they saw Duan Lingtian nod and agree.
Instantly, the eyes of the two Sect Masters turned red.
Why did they not take the initiative to invite this Young Master Duan?
They stood behind this Young Master Duan earlier and made things difficult for the Qian Family. They even called their Intermediate Gods over. Why? Was it not to curry favor with this Young Master Duan?
But now, this Young Master Duan was invited by the Meng Family.
This was not a good thing for their two sects.
"Young Master Duan."
After asking for his ancestor's opinion, Sima Kongming, the Sect Master of Cloud Morning Sect, was the first to speak. "On behalf of Cloud Morning Sect, I invite you to our encampment as a guest … Cloud Morning Sect has already prepared five thousand taels of Divine Stones as a meeting gift for you."
As soon as Sima Kongming spoke, Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up.
To him, there was not much difference whether he went to the Meng Family or Yunchen Sect. This was because he only wanted to learn more about the situation outside through them.
Now, he could get five thousand divine stones if he went to Yunchen Sect?
Just when Duan Lingtian was about to agree to Sima Kongming's invitation, Zhao Yifeng, the Sect Master of Celestial Sect, who had also received permission from his Patriarch, spoke. "Sima Kongming, do you look down on Young Master Duan? You're only offering five thousand divine stones? Our Sima Family is willing to offer ten thousand divine stones as a meeting gift to invite Young Master Duan to our Sima Family as a guest. "
At the same time, Meng Qiyou was also paying attention to the changes in Duan Lingtian's expression. When he saw that Duan Lingtian was slightly moved by the invitation of the two sects, he quickly contacted the Meng Family Leader and Meng Family's Patriarch through voice transmission.
After getting permission from the two of them, he said to Duan Lingtian, "Young Master Duan, I forgot to tell you earlier … Our Meng Family has prepared twenty thousand divine stones as a meeting gift for you. We're waiting for you to pay us a visit."
Twenty thousand divine stones!
The moment the Meng Family spoke, the expressions of the people from Yunchen Sect and Celestial Sect changed slightly. They did not expect the Meng Family to be willing to offer so many divine stones to invite Duan Lingtian over.
As the saying went, 'Human relations are higher than the heavens'. Young Master Duan standing up for a small village like the Duan Family's Southern Village meant that he was definitely not a heartless person. If he was really roped in by the Meng Family, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for their two sects.
"Young Master Duan, our Yunchen Sect is willing to offer twenty-five thousand divine stones as a meeting gift."
The Sect Master of Yunchen Sect spoke again.
"Young Master Duan, our Celestial Sect —"
Just as the Sect Master of Celestial Sect was about to speak, Duan Lingtian interrupted him. "There's no need for all of you to argue … How about this, each of the three sects can prepare twenty thousand divine stones as a meeting gift. I'll take turns to visit all three of your sects."
As Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the entire place fell silent.
