"Big Brother Zhang, you're too kind."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled, then asked curiously. "Big Brother Zhang, why are you and sister-in-law in Black Wind City? Besides that, why would sister-in-law incur enmity with a despicable person like Han Jian An? "
"Let's leave first."
Zhang Shou Yong glanced at the three pools of urine on the ground and frowned, then his brows relaxed as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian brought along the little gold mouse and left with Zhang Shou Yong and his wife, then followed Zhang Shou Yong and his wife back to the courtyard they stayed in.
"Guild Master."
At the entrance of the courtyard, two middle aged men that stood guard there respectfully bowed to Wang Qiong.
Wang Qiong lightly nodded.
"Guild Master?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, and he was slightly surprised.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian brought along the little gold mouse and followed behind Zhang Shou Yong and his wife to walk into a spacious courtyard. There was a spacious room within the courtyard, and it was obviously the residence of Zhang Shou Yong and his wife.
All along the way, the servant girls and servants they occasionally encountered on the way all respectfully addressed Wang Qiong as' Guild Master. '
In the spacious courtyard, Duan Lingtian, Zhang Shou Yong, and Wang Qiong sat around the stone table.
"Big Brother Zhang, why did those people address sister-in-law as Guild Master? Could it be that sister-in-law has joined the trading company of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, and has even become the person in charge of that trading company in Black Wind City? "
Duan Lingtian guessed.
Zhang Shou Yong smiled. "Brother Ling Tian, you're really smart, you guessed it right. Exactly, Qiong is now the person in charge of the Floating Cloud Trading Company's branch in Black Wind City … As for that Han Jian An, he's the person in charge of another trading company in Black Wind City. "
When he spoke up to here, Zhang Shou Yong paused for a moment before continuing. "Since Qiong became the person in charge of the Floating Cloud Trading Company in Black Wind City, Han Jian An has been suppressed by Qiong at all times … So he's always hated Qiong to the extreme. Last time, he'd already sent people to look for trouble with us, and I sent them away … But I never imagined that he'd be so audacious to dare collude with others to capture Qiong! "
Duan Lingtian was suddenly enlightened. "So that's how it is … Sister-in-law is able to surpass Han Jianan in every aspect. You must be very talented and resourceful in business."
As he finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian looked at Wang Qiong with slight surprise.
"Brother Ling Tian, there's something you don't know. The clan that Qiong 'er was born in was founded on business … Qiong' er followed my father-in-law everywhere since she was young and learned a lot of the ways of business. Now, it can be considered to be of use. "
As Zhang Shouyong spoke, he looked at Wang Qiong lovingly.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Oh right, Brother Ling Tian, why are you in Black Wind City? I heard that the Seven Star Sword Sect … "
Zhang Shouyong looked at Duan Lingtian and hesitated.
Only now did he recall the news of the Seven Star Sword Sect being annihilated that he'd heard a few days ago.
At that time, he and Wang Qiong broke out in cold sweat for the sake of Duan Lingtian and Li Fei who were in the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"Exactly, the Seven Star Sword Sect doesn't exist any longer."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Where's my Little Sister Fei? How is she? "
Wang Qiong reacted to Zhang Shouyong's reminder and asked with a concerned expression.
She didn't care about the life and death of the other people in the Seven Star Sword Sect.
What she cared about was the Duan Lingtian and Li Fei that she was familiar with.
Duan Lingtian was safe and sound now, and she couldn't help but be worried about Li Fei's safety.
"Don't worry Sister-in-law, Little Fei is fine … She just happened to not be in the Seven Star Sword Sect at that time."
Duan Lingtian forced out a laugh. Now that he heard Zhang Shouyong mention the Seven Star Sword Sect, he couldn't help but recall the scene when the Seven Star Sword Sect was annihilated.
Those scenes were unforgettable to him in his entire lifetime.
"Brother Ling Tian, did you come to Black Wind City for something?"
Zhang Shouyong saw Duan Lingtian's current expression and guessed Duan Lingtian's thoughts, and he hurriedly changed the topic.
"It's nothing … I'm just passing by."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Brother Ling Tian, what plans do you have in the future?"
Wang Qiong asked Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's gaze squinted when he heard this, and he said slowly, "I plan to walk around and make a name for myself in this year … I must rush to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City a year later and enter the Dragon and Phoenix Academy!"
"Dragon and Phoenix Academy?"
Zhang Shouyong and Wang Qiong were stunned when they heard Duan Lingtian, as they'd obviously never heard of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy.
"Brother Ling Tian, this Dragon and Phoenix Academy is?"
Zhang Shouyong asked curiously.
"It's an academy set up by the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial Family for the sake of the selections for the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties. It will gather most of the young geniuses in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom one year from now, and the selections will be held two years from now. The strongest few people will be left behind to head to the Darkstone Empire's Imperial City to participate in the next round of selections."
Duan Lingtian spoke slowly.
"Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties?"
Zhang Shouyong and Wang Qiong looked at Duan Lingtian with a bewildered expression.
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised in the slightest that Zhang Shouyong and Wang Qiong didn't know about the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
Now, this matter had probably not spread completely yet.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian introduced the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties in detail to Zhang Shouyong and Wang Qiong …
He was able to notice that Zhang Shouyong's gaze had lit up many times.
Obviously, Zhang Shouyong was extremely interested in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
"Big Brother Zhang, with your age, you completely satisfy the conditions to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … Moreover, with your natural talent and strength, it isn't difficult for you to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties and even stand out in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties."
Duan Lingtian was filled with confidence towards Zhang Shouyong's strength.
Presently, Zhang Shouyong was already a fourth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist, and he'd even comprehended fifth level Earth Concept.
With Zhang Shouyong's natural talent, his strength would surely be even stronger five years later!
Although he didn't know of Zhang Shouyong's origins, he was faintly able to guess that the clan Zhang Shouyong had mentioned in the past was probably a clan in the Darkhan Dynasty.
Perhaps, only a clan in the Darkhan Dynasty was capable of fostering a genius in the Martial Dao like Zhang Shouyong.
Zhang Shouyong nodded, then glanced at Wang Qiong before saying, "Leave it to fate …"
Obviously, he was taking Wang Qiong into consideration.
Duan Lingtian perceived this as well, and he didn't say anything further before bidding his farewells. "Big Brother Zhang, Sister-in-law, I'm leaving Black Wind City early in the morning tomorrow … Let's part ways here."
As he spoke, Duan Lingtian stood up.
Zhang Shouyong and Wang Qiong nodded and sent Duan Lingtian off with their gazes.
After Duan Lingtian left, the atmosphere between Zhang Shouyong and Wang Qiong became slightly silent.
After a short moment, Wang Qiong said, "Big Brother Yong, this is a good opportunity for you … I know that you've always yearned for the mysterious and unfathomable 'Foreign Lands.' This time, you finally have an opportunity, you must not miss it. "
Zhang Shouyong sighed. "What about you? I won't separate from you no matter what. "
Wang Qiong smiled. "I'll always be by your side."
Zhang Shouyong's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and then he nodded. "There's no rush … There's still four years of time anyway."
If Duan Lingtian heard what Zhang Shouyong said now, he would surely be able to confirm Zhang Shouyong's origins with 100% certainty.
Four years!
Five years from now was the day the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties began.
Whereas four years from now was the day all the young geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty competed with the young geniuses of the various Empires, Imperial Kingdoms, and Kingdoms under the Darkhan Dynasty.
Obviously, Zhang Shouyong was waiting for the competition between the young geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty …
At that time, they would directly compete for the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties!
After Duan Lingtian left the Floating Cloud Commerce's branch with the little gold mouse, he returned to the inn.
Early in the morning of the next day, he woke up naturally from his sleep, and he brought the little gold mouse to a restaurant to have a good meal before leaving Black Wind City.
After leaving Black Wind City, Duan Lingtian headed east of Black Wind City.
All along the way, he cultivated and tempered himself.
If it wasn't necessary, he prohibited the little gold mouse from making a move.
Under his hard work, the returns were extremely great.
Time flew by.
Three months later, Duan Lingtian had successfully broken through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Eight months later, he'd successfully broken through to the Half-step Void Stage!
11 months later, his cultivation had arrived at the peak of the Half-step Void Stage, and he was only a step away from the Void Prying Stage.
Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, at the peak of a precipitous mountain not far from the Imperial City.
A violet colored figure sat cross-legged there.
This was a violet clothed young man with a tall figure. He had slanted brows and starry eyes, and he was extraordinarily handsome and elegant.
Presently, strands of white colored Origin Energy occasionally raged out from the violet clothed young man's body, and it was accompanied by strands of light azure colored energy that flickered with an extremely strange aura.
"Squeak squeak ~"
On the shoulder of the violet clothed young man, a fluffy little gold mouse was raising its head to look around, and it seemed to be vigilant.
In its hand, it seemed to be playing with a spirit sword.
Suddenly, the violet clothed young man woke up.
"It's about time."
The violet clothed young man opened his eyes that were like dazzling stars, and a heartfelt smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "Only a drop of Monkey King Wine is sufficient to allow me to directly break through to the Void Prying Stage! After cultivating for many days, I've finally accumulated my Origin Energy to the limit. "
This violet clothed young man was precisely Duan Lingtian who'd left Black Wind City 11 months ago!
During these 11 months of time, relying on his peerlessly monstrous natural talent, his gains were extremely great.
Of course, it was mainly the gains in his cultivation.
Presently, his cultivation had already risen to the limit of the Half-step Void Stage, and he was half a step into the Void Prying Stage. He was only a strand away from smoothly breaking through.
However, even if it was only a strand, if he didn't have the help of external forces, it would be difficult to break through in a short period of time.
Just like the group of Half-step Void Stage martial artists in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, there was no lack of existences that were half a step into the Void Prying Stage, but because of this strand of difference, they might have no fate with the Void Prying Stage for their entire lifetimes.
However, Duan Lingtian didn't have to worry.
Although with his natural talent, even if he relied on his own hard work, he would be able to smoothly break through to the Void Prying Stage sooner or later.
But now that there was a shortcut to take, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Monkey King Wine!"
With a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian took out a drop of Monkey King Wine.
The Monkey King Wine was precisely what he'd obtained in the Hengduan Mountain Range outside the Southern Barbaric City of the Southern Champion Kingdom, and it was given to him by the Great Monkey King of the group of stone monkeys.
The Monkey King Wine had the medicinal strength of the Void Advancement Pill, yet it didn't have the side effects of the Void Advancement Pill.
