Quick! Quick! Quick!
Now, Duan Lingtian wished for nothing more than to grow a pair of wings and directly fly into Triumph City.
As long as he entered the city, he would be safe.
Finally, under Duan Lingtian's perturbed and fearful gaze, the old man stopped, obviously going to look at the youth's injuries.
"Hu!"
Duan Lingtian heaved a long sigh of relief, and only now did he notice that his clothes were already drenched in cold sweat.
At this moment, he had a feeling as if he had suddenly ascended from hell to heaven.
Although the old man didn't chase after him, Duan Lingtian didn't dare hesitate and rode the Ferghana Horse directly into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard the pedestrians exclaim in surprise.
"Look!"
"It's a Ferghana Horse again!"
"Could it be that the Ferghana Horse that passed by earlier was his as well?"
...
Duan Lingtian heard the discussions of the crowd.
He frowned, then directly jumped off and took the opportunity to leave when everyone's gazes descended onto the Ferghana Horse.
He blended into the endless stream of people and disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that it's popular to throw Ferghana Horses everywhere?"
"That's a Ferghana Horse that's worth 10,000 gold …. That youth just threw it away like trash."
Many people were dumbstruck.
Hu!
Right at this moment, everyone's gazes descended onto the direction of the city gate.
An aged figure pulled out a string of afterimages and instantly arrived in front of the Ferghana Horse.
"Did you see that violet-clothed youth that rode his horse into the city?"
The old man's gaze was like lightning as it swept past the surrounding crowd, causing everyone present to feel a chill run down their spines.
"He went that way!"
Someone pointed towards the direction Duan Lingtian left.
Hu!
The old man's figure vanished into the crowd.
"So fast!"
"Too fast. I'm a Core Formation martial artist at any rate, but I can't even grasp his figure."
"He's probably an Origin Core martial artist."
"I've seen the Zhong family's second elder, Zhong Ying, attack. Zhong Ying is a seventh level Origin Core martial artist, but his speed doesn't seem to be so fast."
...
The crowd clamored.
Duan Lingtian took seven or eight detours, circling more than half of Triumph City. Only when the sky turned dark did he finally relax.
"Now, I need to change out of this set of clothes, or else it will be too obvious."
Duan Lingtian looked at his clothes and thought to himself.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed a figure walking towards him.
Looking at the figure, it was a young man about the same height as him.
"Father and Mother will definitely be very happy. From tomorrow onwards, I will be a servant of the Zhong Family. I will have a salary of ten taels a month."
The young man muttered to himself and hummed a little tune as he walked into the alley.
However, he soon quieted down. It was as if his throat was being gripped.
Under the moonlight.
The dark purple sword flickered with a cold luster.
"Spare me, hero. I don't have money. I really don't have money."
The young man was so scared that he closed his eyes and said in horror.
Duan Lingtian was speechless.
Who wants your money!
"Take off your clothes."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Ah! Hero, you … you want to … "
The young man's body trembled and his voice trembled.
"Cut the crap. Take off your clothes!"
Duan Lingtian said impatiently.
"Yes, yes."
The young man nodded and quickly took off his outer clothes.
Duan Lingtian took off his clothes and changed into the young man's clothes.
However, after he changed his clothes, he found that the young man had taken off his pants and was leaning against the wall. His naked buttocks were facing him and his body was still trembling. "Hero, you must be gentle. I … this is my first time …"
Duan Lingtian was dumbfounded.
What kind of person did this guy think he was?
Even if he wanted to rape, he didn't have to find a man to do it with, right?
"Scram! I only want your clothes. "
Duan Lingtian kept his sword and kicked the young man's naked buttocks.
The young man cried out in pain and said with an aggrieved face, "Hero, you should have said so earlier … Wu wu … My innocence …"
"Do I look like that kind of person?"
Glaring at the young man, Duan Lingtian muttered and left the alley.
Triumph City's night market was similar to Aurora City's and was quite lively.
After buying a mask from a night market stall and finding a remote place to put it on, Duan Lingtian headed for Ghost Shadow's stronghold in Triumph City.
Tang Ying had told him in advance where Ghost Shadow's stronghold was, so he quickly found it.
He walked in and arrived in front of the counter.
Behind the counter was a young woman around twenty-two or twenty-three years old. She had an enchanting body like a water snake and a pair of majestic jade peaks that were ready to burst out. Coupled with her cold face, it formed a sharp contrast.
Seeing Duan Lingtian wearing a mask, the woman wasn't surprised, as if it was a common occurrence.
"Wang clan, outer court disciple, Wang Zhen."
Duan Lingtian looked at the woman and lowered his voice, pretending to be hoarse as he spoke.
"Ten thousand taels deposit, confirmed in three days."
The woman's voice was incomparably cold, without the slightest trace of emotion.
Duan Lingtian had already taken out ten thousand taels of silver from his storage ring and placed it on the counter, then turned around and left.
He had already learned of Ghost Shadow's rules from Tang Ying.
After leaving Ghost Shadow's stronghold, Duan Lingtian circled the surroundings once more. After confirming that he wasn't being followed, he took off his mask and smashed it with a palm strike.
Immediately after, he went to the downtown area of Triumph City to eat some barbecue before finding a nearby inn to stay in.
"Two Ferghana horses, a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse."
Recalling what he encountered outside of Triumph City today, Duan Lingtian's heart sank.
To be able to have a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse escort them, the identity of the young man and young woman was definitely not simple. It was very likely that they were members of a large family in the county city.
"However, only that young man and young woman recognize my appearance."
Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a while, he went to buy some rouge and face powder.
In his previous life, as a mercenary, Duan Lingtian was proficient in various concealment techniques, including 'disguise.'
After spending half an hour, Duan Lingtian's handsome cheeks changed, becoming very ordinary.
"Not bad, my skills haven't fallen behind."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Duan Lingtian nodded in satisfaction.
At first glance, one couldn't see any traces of makeup on his ordinary cheeks …
This face belonged to the type that couldn't be found in a crowd.
"Now, even if they see me again, it's impossible for them to recognize me."
After finishing his makeup, Duan Lingtian temporarily felt at ease.
Early the next morning, taking advantage of the fact that the innkeeper was still drowsy and dozing off, he directly checked out of the room.
If he wanted to completely conceal himself, he must not leave behind any traces.
This innkeeper had seen his' true appearance 'last night.
Walking out of the inn, Duan Lingtian openly found a restaurant to eat breakfast.
The steaming hot breakfast caused his appetite to be greatly aroused.
"I wonder who's so ruthless that he even dared to cut off the arm of the son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor above Triumph City!"
"I heard that the Patriarch went to the Wang Clan and Zhong Clan early in the morning. He probably wants to use their strength to find the culprit."
"Supposedly, the culprit is a young sword cultivator around the age of 16 with a cultivation at the third level of the Core Formation Stage. He wears violet clothes and has a handsome appearance … But, how do we find him?"
Duan Lingtian was drinking milk in large mouthfuls and eating breakfast when he heard the discussion at a nearby table.
It was three young men that were a little over 20 years old.
Duan Lingtian was shocked in his heart.
He naturally guessed that the culprit they spoke of was him.
However, although he guessed that the background of the three people from yesterday wasn't small, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
Swallow Mountain County had a vast territory that encompassed 81 cities.
Among them included Aurora City, Triumph City, and Aqua Mist City.
Swallow Mountain County was one of the 18 counties of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and the County Governors of the 18 counties were all existences that held great power and influence.
Supposedly, the 18 County Governors were all Void Stage powerhouses.
Void Stage powerhouses were existences that surpassed Nascent Soul Stage martial artists. Their strength was shocking, and they were also called demigods. They were able to rely on the strength of their fleshly body to fly.
"That youth is the son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor?"
Duan Lingtian realized that he'd caused trouble, and it was huge trouble.
However, he didn't regret it.
If he could do it all over again, he would still do it the same way.
"Luckily, this is Triumph City, and it's very far from Aurora City … There ought to be no one who suspects me."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart as he thought in his heart.
In the following three days.
The entire Triumph City was alarmed by the big movements of the three great clans.
There was only one goal.
To find the culprit that cut off the arm of the County Governor's son.
During this period of time, Duan Lingtian once again saw the young girl.
The young girl had an icy expression as she followed a group of people, searching everywhere for his whereabouts.
However, even though he'd met the young girl face to face, she didn't recognize him.
Duan Lingtian believed.
The current him, unless it was Kerr or his mother, Li Rou, no one else, including Li Fei, would be able to recognize him even if they met him face to face.
He was extremely confident in his ability to disguise himself.
Late at night.
Duan Lingtian once again bought a mask from the night market. After putting it on, he once again arrived at the Ghastly Shadow's stronghold in Triumph City.
It was still that enchanting and icy cold young girl that received him.
"Wang Family, Wang Zhen, how's the confirmation?"
Duan Lingtian went straight to the point.
"200,000 silver."
The girl's voice was icy cold.
"Only a Body Tempering Stage martial artist, so expensive?"
Duan Lingtian was dazed.
Based on the price he heard from Tang Ying, a 9th level Body Tempering Stage martial artist was at most 100,000 silver.
"Going deep into the Wang Family Estate is extremely risky."
The girl's icy cold voice sounded.
"Here's 190,000 silver."
Duan Lingtian didn't say anything as he took out the silver he prepared and passed it to the girl.
The girl accepted the silver and nodded.
"When do we make a move?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but ask.
"Tonight, the target will definitely die."
Hearing the girl's words.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled up into a smile, but it was blocked by the mask.
He left the Ghastly Shadow's stronghold and found another inn to stay in.
He had a plan in his heart.
Tomorrow morning, after eating breakfast, he would leave Triumph City.
The next day.
Duan Lingtian found a restaurant to eat breakfast.
He originally thought that he would be able to hear some rumors, but he didn't expect that the thing that caused the hubbub was still the matter of the County Governor's son.
"According to Tang Ying, as long as it's a mission that the Ghastly Shadow has accepted, they have never failed, so there shouldn't be any problems."
