"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse stretched out her claw to point towards a room in the distance when she heard the beautiful woman, and her jade green eyes were filled with rage.
Flowing lights spun within the beautiful woman's beautiful eyes when she heard this, and she seemed to have guessed something as she smiled.
Duan Lingtian and Kerr were like sweet dew after a long drought, and they lingered together until deep into the night before leaving the room.
After leaving the room, the two of them arrived at the pavilion.
At the first possible moment, they saw the beautiful woman that was playing with the little gold mouse …
"Master."
Kerr bowed respectfully, and her beautiful face was flushed red, causing her to be extremely cute.
"Peak Master."
Duan Lingtian followed to greet, and his face wasn't red nor was he out of breath, and he didn't forget to wink at Kerr, causing Kerr to be embarrassed to the point of wishing for nothing more than to dig a hole to hide in.
The beautiful woman was precisely the Peak Master of Alkaid Peak, Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang lightly smiled and nodded to Kerr, then her gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian and she sighed lightly. "Duan Lingtian, I truly never imagined that you'd actually seize first place in the five great sects Martial Competition for the Seven Star Sword Sect … Our Seven Star Sword Sect hasn't seized first place in the five great sects Martial Competition for a very long time."
As she spoke up to here, Qin Xiang slightly reminisced.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, as he'd heard the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, mention this.
The last time the Seven Star Sword Sect seized first place in the five great sects Martial Competition was almost 20 years ago …
At that time, the person that seized first place in the Martial Competition for the Seven Star Sword Sect was the Peak Master of Alkaid Peak, Qin Xiang!
In next to no time, Qin Xiang changed the topic. "The two year agreement between you and Zither Young Master will arrive one year from now … I've discussed it with the Sect Leader, and since your current strength isn't inferior to a sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, I'll let you go out and gain experience."
"Gain experience?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
Qin Xiang nodded and said slowly, "I presume you've heard since long ago that our Seven Star Sword Sect has many properties all over the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom … Besides some External Affairs Elders, most of the people that are in charge of managing these properties are inner court disciples above the age of 30."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He had heard of this before.
Qin Xiang continued, "After my discussion with the Sect Master, we've decided to let you go to the Ancient City of Everlast!"
Ancient City of Everlasting Wasteland?
Hearing Qin Xiang's words, Duan Lingtian could not help being stunned.
He was not unfamiliar with the Ancient City of Everlasting Desolation.
Two years ago, when he and Li Fei left the Seven Star Sword Sect and headed to the Solitary Peak, they'd gone to the Ancient City of Everlast.
Later on, he met Zhang Shouyong and his wife in the Ancient City of Everlast.
"Our Seven Star Sword Sect has properties in the Ancient City of Everlast?"
Duan Lingtian was a little surprised.
Qin Xiang nodded. "Our Seven Star Sword Sect doesn't have any businesses in the Ancient City of Everlast … However, the two External Affairs Elders and some inner court disciples of our Seven Star Sword Sect in the Ancient City of Everlast are instead guarding the Ancient River Trading Company."
"Protect the Chamber of Commerce?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, as he never imagined that the Seven Star Sword Sect was related to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's merchant association.
Presumably, the Seven Star Sword Sect's inner court disciples guarding the Ancient River Trading Company ought to be able to obtain a certain amount of protection fees …
This was something that Duan Lingtian could confirm.
"When are we leaving?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Tomorrow."
Qin Xiang said, "You can go look for the Sect Master at noon tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Duan Lingtian bid his farewells to Kerr before bidding farewell to Qin Xiang and leaving Alkaid Hall.
After returning to the stalactite cave, he cultivated for an entire night.
At dawn the next day, he went to Alkaid Peak to look for Li Fei and told her that he would be leaving for a period of time.
Duan Lingtian didn't bring along Kerr and Li Fei when he left this time.
According to the words of Alkaid Peak's Master, Qin Xiang, and Elder Bi, the Ancient City of Everlast was too chaotic.
Coupled with Duan Lingtian going there to gain experience and experience this time and not to play, if the two girls were to follow by Duan Lingtian's side, then perhaps it would affect Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh!
Outside Dubhe Hall on the Seven Star Sword Sect's main peak, Dubhe Peak, a black figure flashed into the sky and shot high up into the sky before disappearing into the clouds and mist.
At the same time.
High up in the sky, a young man wearing the attire of an inner court disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect was standing on an enormous hawk as he tore through the sky with an extremely swift speed.
"With this first level Nascent Soul Stage fierce beast, Sun Hawk, as my mount, it'll take at most a month to arrive at the Ancient City of Everlast."
The gaze of the young man with slanted brows and starry eyes that were exceedingly handsome pierced through the clouds and mist to descend into the distance as he muttered to himself.
It was precisely Duan Lingtian who'd just left the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Presently, Duan Lingtian was standing on the Sun Hawk as he soared through the sky …
Although the Sun Hawk's speed couldn't compare to Elder Peng, it still far surpassed a Ferghana Horse.
This Sun Hawk was entrusted to Elder Peng by the Seven Star Sword Sect's Sect Leader to help Duan Lingtian capture it.
It wasn't that Elder Peng was stingy, but the stronger a bird type fierce beast was, the harder it was to tame …
Just this first level Nascent Soul Stage Sun Hawk, Duan Lingtian relied on his entire strength to spend an entire three hours before completely taming it.
Suddenly.
"Squeak squeak ~"
A wave of cries sounded out from within Duan Lingtian's sleeve.
In next to no time, a golden furry little head stuck out, and it blinked its jade green eyes as it looked at Duan Lingtian.
It was precisely the little gold mouse that had always been by Kerr's side, the infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, this mixed haired bird's speed is too slow."
Duan Lingtian's eardrums slightly trembled as the little gold mouse's tender voice sounded out.
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at the little gold mouse. "You're really comparing it to you? Don't you think about how high its cultivation is and how high your cultivation is … How about you become big and carry me to the Ancient City of Everlast? In this way, we'll be able to rush over in at most a few days. "
"Hmph! Hmph! I don't want to become big, I'm ugly to death, I'm fat to death, I'm ugly to death …"
The little gold mouse's voice transmission sounded out without end.
It caused Duan Lingtian to be speechless.
His gaze descended onto the little gold mouse's chubby body, then he shook his head and sighed. "This little fellow really thinks highly of itself … Could it be that it thinks it's not fat now?"
Because they were hurrying along at high altitudes all along the way, they didn't encounter any trouble.
One month later.
The speed of the Sun Eagle beneath Duan Lingtian's feet slowed down, then it swooped down and flew at a low altitude.
Meanwhile, the clouds and mist before his eyes had completely dispersed, and a simple and ancient city appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
In the distance, the ancient city was like an enormous beast that was hibernating within the desert, and it opened its bloody mouth to ceaselessly swallow the merchants and pedestrians in the desert …
"Ancient City of Everlast!"
Duan Lingtian had a feeling as if it was a lifetime ago when he arrived at the Ancient City of Everlast once again.
When he came to the Ancient City of Everlast the last time, he was only passing by, and his main destination was still the Solitary Peak …
His destination this time was the Ancient City of Everlast!
Outside the Ancient City of Everlast, many people rode flying beasts to come here. If it was only because of this, Duan Lingtian wouldn't attract any attention.
However, most of the people that were near Duan Lingtian couldn't help but repeatedly glance at Duan Lingtian.
The gazes of these people descended onto the clothes Duan Lingtian wore.
The Seven Star Sword Sect's inner court attire was undoubtedly a signboard.
"This young man looks to be a little over 20 and is absolutely not over 23 … He's actually already a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple?"
"According to my knowledge, the lowest requirement to become a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple is the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage. Besides that, because the Seven Star Sword Sect's inner court disciple test is strict, only people that have stepped into the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage are able to pass the inner court disciple test with 100% certainty and become a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple. "
"In the younger generation of the Seven Star Sword Sect, there's no successor, and the one with the strongest natural talent seems to be the personal disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Sect Leader, Huang Ji. But even if it's that Huang Ji, he's only an outer court disciple at such an age. "
"Looks like this young man ought to have faked a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple attire to pass himself off as a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple, wanting to pass himself off as a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple."
"Probably."
…
Many people that saw Duan Lingtian discussed animatedly.
Based on their words, they didn't think that Duan Lingtian was really an inner court disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Duan Lingtian was truly too young.
Duan Lingtian naturally heard these discussions, and he didn't care as he rode on the Sun Eagle to descend outside the Ancient City of Everlast.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian's figure flashed as he leaped down, then he looked at the Sun Eagle and whistled.
Instantly, the Sun Eagle seemed to have obtained some sort of instruction, and it flapped its wings to conceal itself within the clouds and mist, vanishing without a trace.
Only when the Sun Eagle's figure vanished before his eyes did Duan Lingtian's gaze move to descend onto the Ancient City of Everlast.
He walked out in large strides, intending to enter the Ancient City of Everlast.
"Stop!"
Right at this moment, a cold shout stopped Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian frowned and turned around.
He saw a young man around the age of 35 riding a Ferghana Horse over from the distance, and the young man was staring at him from afar …
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze shone when he saw the attire of the young man clearly.
The attire of a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple!
Obviously, this young man was a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple as well.
But in the next moment, Duan Lingtian instead frowned.
The Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple spurred his horse to arrive before Duan Lingtian, then looked down at Duan Lingtian in a condescending manner and shouted with a grim voice. "Kid, who are you? Why are you pretending to be an inner court disciple of my Seven Star Sword Sect?"
Pretending?
Duan Lingtian was stunned and was slightly muddled.
What does he mean?
"Still playing dumb?"
Before Duan Lingtian could react, the Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple sneered. "Kid, let me tell you, I've seen many people like you who pretend to be disciples of my Seven Star Sword Sect … A young man a little over 20 wearing the attire of my Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple, do you really think you're a peerless genius like the five great young masters?"
Duan Lingtian finally returned to his senses after being berated by the Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple, and he lightly smiled. "Senior Brother, I'm afraid you're mistaken … I'm really a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple. I'm Duan Lingtian, this is the letter the Sect Leader asked me to pass to Elder Zhao Yu and Elder Feng Ping, and my introduction is within it. "
Duan Lingtian withdrew a letter from his Spatial Ring as he spoke, and he passed it to the Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple.
He didn't take the actions of the Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple to heart.
As far as he was concerned, it was only a misunderstanding.
