Fang Xingjian then spent another three hours searching through the entire city in detail. However, he still did not discover any signs of the existence of tier six Divine level experts.
'As expected, they're not around?
'Are the Quanji seven people not behind Duan Tianhao? Or could it be that they've deliberately hidden themselves?'
Fang Xingjian gave it some thought, and then a light breeze swept toward a study in the palace's northeast.
Right now, Duan Tianhao was sitting behind a desk in the study, holding a book in his hands and reading it in detail. It was the information regarding the current situation in the plains and the Empire.
A light breeze blew into the study unknowingly, flipping through the documents on the desk.
Duan Tianhao raised his head to take a look, frowned, and observed carefully again. After ascertaining that there were no abnormalities, his thoughts sank into the information before him again.
The contents displayed were the recent military movements within the Empire, the situation of the various Demigods and above, and even some secret information regarding the Imperial Capital's palace. All of these had been leaked out.
This was naturally because Duan Tianhao had taken over the Heavenly Lion King's information channel. This was why he had been able to obtain so much information.
Looking at the current situation in the world, the corners of Duan Tianhao's lips curled up into a cold smile as he thought, 'Hmph, are you still circling around the forbidden grounds? Do you think that it'll be useful just because you're not allowed to enter? But how can Master's means be something that you can imagine? 'Fang Xingjian, you probably won't even be able to imagine that the six Old Ancestors have already broken free a long time ago. 'Once the last Old Ancestor breaks free as well … Hmph hmph …'
He then looked at the attitudes of the various major influences toward the Divine Treasures Meeting. Neither the Mage Association nor the Holy See of Truth gave an official reply.
Looking at the attitudes of these two top-notch influences, Duan Tianhao's eyes narrowed slightly. 'Hehe, the strongest influences in the world. In another month's time, it won't be the same anymore.
'Although these two influences haven't replied, with their backgrounds, they'll naturally know what the Divine Sun Emperor's treasures represent. When the time comes, they'll still send people over.'
Duan Tianhao continued reading. Regardless of whether it was the various countries in the north, the various barbarian tribes, or the top-notch martial factions, almost all of them had agreed to participate in the Divine Treasures Meeting.
There were even many small sects and sects that were not invited, as well as a few small island countries overseas, who also wanted a piece of the pie.
The more he watched, the brighter the smile on Duan Tianhao's face became. "Very good. The more participants, the better." When he saw the Empire's negative response — that Fang Xingjian would be personally leading a team to participate in the Divine Treasures Meeting — his smile became even more radiant.
As soon as he imagined the scene of Fang Xingjian coming over, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Fang Xingjian …"
"What are you laughing at?" Just as Duan Tianhao was reading the report and laughing, Fang Xingjian's voice suddenly rang in his ear.
Duan Tianhao abruptly raised his head and discovered that Fang Xingjian had unknowingly stood beside him, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.
"Fang Xingjian!" Duan Tianhao was so shocked that he stood up immediately. "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Fang Xingjian looked at Duan Tianhao and scanned his body with his martial will. He had already come to a conclusion, 'Tier one of the Divine level? Then the person who pushed Tyrande back is definitely not you. Someone is hiding behind you. '
Simultaneously, the information regarding Duan Tianhao appeared in his mind.
'The Four Seasons Villa's Young Villa Lord. The villa defied the local government, sheltered criminals, seized the country's assets, committed murder, extortion, and robbery, and was wiped out. He started to flee one month ago, and the last time I saw him, he was at the Demigod level. '
At the thought of this, a hint of chaotic glow suddenly flashed in Fang Xingjian's eyes as he looked at Duan Tianhao.
"Tell me, who helped you push Tyrande back?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Duan Tianhao's eyes. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but his body stiffened up, and he was unable to say anything.
Very soon, the muscles throughout his body started to tremble incessantly. It was as if there was a gush of power in his body that was forcing him to say a single word.
The chaotic glow in Fang Xingjian's eyes became even more intense. He looked at Duan Tianhao, and the martial will he emitted seemed to have turned into something material, gushing out toward Duan Tianhao's heart.
However, even under the power of Fang Xingjian's Heart Sword Path, Duan Tianhao was still unable to say a single word. Instead, his entire body trembled increasingly intensely, and hints of blood started flowing out from his eyes, nostrils, and mouth. All of his muscles started to spasm, and many green veins popped up under his skin.
"You're still not going to say anything?" Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly. He sensed that there was an extremely vast Qi activity in Duan Tianhao's will, protecting his Heart Sword Path's attack. Clearly, this was something left behind by an expert.
'If I were to strengthen my attacks, I might be able to break through it, but this person would also die.' At the thought of this, Fang Xingjian slowed down his attacks and did not continue to question Duan Tianhao.
However, just from the means left behind in Duan Tianhao's consciousness, he could tell that there must be an expert at tier six of the Divine level or above standing behind Duan Tianhao. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to fend off Fang Xingjian's Heart Sword Path.
On the other hand, Duan Tianhao immediately relaxed. He felt as if his head was going to explode, and the muscles and bones throughout his body felt as if they had been run over by a truck.
With a thud, he was unable to maintain his standing posture and dropped to his knees before Fang Xingjian.
However, the moment he dropped to his knees, his countenance instantly turned grim.
'How can I …
'How can I kneel before Fang Xingjian?'
He propped himself up, wanting to stand up. However, he discovered that all his limbs were sore and weak, unable to exert any strength at all. Right now, he was already at his limit by using both hands to support himself from the ground so that he would not be prostrated on all fours. This state caused his eyes to spurt out flames.
Sensing his weakness and helplessness before Fang Xingjian, Duan Tianhao's countenance turned increasingly grim. He said coldly, "Fang Xingjian, what are you trying to do?"
He lifted his head with great difficulty and looked at Fang Xingjian as if he was looking at a dead person. "You want to know who the person behind me is? So what if you know? They aren't people you can go up against! I'm just an ant in front of you, but aren't you also an ant in front of them? "
He then laughed out loud as if he could already see Fang Xingjian's tragic ending.
However, Fang Xingjian thought, 'They don't know that I've already reached tier six of the Divine level. They don't even know that I've joined forces with the Immortal Child and discovered the existence of the Quanji seven people.
'They should think that I'm here to seek revenge against Duan Tianhao for the sake of Tyrande. That's why they're still able to keep their composure?
'That's a good opportunity for me to spy on them.'
At the thought of this, Fang Xingjian threw a cold glance at Duan Tianhao. "Then I'll see how long you guys can hold it in."
