Chapter 2637 The Mystery Surrounding Qin Yu
Although they did not interact much in b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City, Duan Ling Tian had saved Qin Yu’s life during their journey to the County City of the Nine Specters County. For this reason, he felt he owed Duan Ling Tian his life. He had also begun to regard Duan Ling Tian as a friend. How could he not worry after hearing the discussion in his surroundings? After mulling it over for a moment, he thought to himself, ‘With Duan Ling Tian’s intelligence, he should be aware of all these things.’ He was certain Duan Ling Tian was aware of the consequences of severing Zhou Fei’s limbs.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. ‘Why would he do something like that if he knows it’ll only bring him trouble? Not only will he offend Zhou Tong, but he also blatantly disregarded the rules in the Latent Dragon Abyss set by Lord County Governor!’ He really could not understand Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts.
Meanwhile, the discussions in the surroundings showed no signs of dying down.
“The Latent Dragon Abyss is going to be lively in the coming days.”
“Duan Ling Tian caused a buzz in the Latent Dragon Abyss that was like a pool of still water as soon as he arrived. I wonder when Revered Elder Zhou Tong will come to avenge his G.o.dson?”
“With Revered Elder Zhou Tong’s position and status in the County Governor’s estate, is there a need for him to personally make a move? As long as he informs Lord County Governor about this, Duan Ling Tian wouldn’t be able to get away with this.”
“I agree.”
Eventually, the crowd that was gathered near Duan Ling Tian’s newly-acquired stone chamber in the depth of the Latent Dragon Abyss began to disperse.
As for Qin Yu, he had chosen the stone chamber at the highest point in the Latent Dragon Abyss. Naturally, he also wanted a stone chamber with a better cultivation environment, but he was not in a hurry. He wanted to gain a better understanding of the others before he issued a challenge to obtain a stone chamber with a better cultivation environment. After all, he was not like Duan Ling Tian who was capable of defeating most Golden Celestials in the Nine Specter County even though he was not even 100 years old!
Whoos.h.!.+
Qin Yu raised his arm to retrieve the jade token that would allow him access to the stone chamber before establis.h.i.+ng owners.h.i.+p over it. He quickly entered the stone chamber and began to cultivate. Although his stone chamber had the worst cultivation environment in the Latent Dragon Abyss, it was not worse than the Black Dragon Army’s camp. It was still acceptable to him.
Before Qin Yu cultivated, he still could not help but worry about Duan Ling Tian. ‘I hope Duan Ling Tian has a way to deal with what’s’ coming.’ However, regardless of how much he worried about it, with his current strength, there was nothing he could do to help. It was useless for him to dwell on this matter.
As though he had recalled something, Qin Yu’s expression darkened. ‘If I weren’t… If it were back then, it would’ve been easy for me to solve Duan Ling Tian’s problem. All I needed to do was say the word…’ His eyes gleamed coldly as a majestic aura not inferior to an emperor exuded from his body. ‘I hope Zhou Tong and the County Governor of Nine Specters City don’t go overboard. Otherwise, I’ll make sure they die a painful death!’
After that, Qin Yu inhaled deeply to calm down and began to focus on cultivating.
…
In the depths of the Latent Dragon Abyss where the stone chamber with the best cultivation environment was located.
“What a rich and dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy!” Duan Ling Tian was surprised at the richness and density of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy as soon as he entered the stone chamber. He was instantly shrouded by the energy. It took him a while to regain his senses.
“The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here feels several times richer than the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Elder Zheng Qiu’s residence! It’s truly worthy of being compared to the cultivation place of the County Governor. This is truly a great place to cultivate!”
Before he sat down cross-legged on a stone bed in the stone chamber, he inhaled deeply. His eyes gleamed as though he had thought of something as he muttered under his breath, “This stone chamber is mine as long as I’m in the Nine Specters County. No one can take it away from me!”
A good cultivation environment played a big part in one’s cultivation progress. In the Nine Spectre County, there was no doubt the County Governor had the best cultivation place and environment. Now that Duan Ling Tian obtained a cultivation place that was as good as the County Governor, how could he be willing to give it up? As long as he was in Nine Specters City, he would cultivate here.
“I don’t think it’d take long for me to become a Golden Celestial as long as I keep cultivating in here!” Duan Ling Tian was confident about discovering how good the cultivation environment was in the stone chamber. He was optimistic about becoming a Golden Celestial. It was a huge feat to become a Golden Celestial from a Heavenly Celestial.
Duan Ling Tian took out his prominent Celestial Stone and closed his eyes before he began to cultivate.
Crystal Clearance Tactic!
If someone could see him now, they would see the Heaven and Earth Spirit and the refined energy from the prominent Celestial Grade swirling like a mist around him before entering his body. After they entered his body, they circulated in his body according to the yellow-grade cultivation method, the Crystal Clearance Tactic, through his 99 Heavenly Veins. The energy contained the efficacy of the remaining Spirit Nouris.h.i.+ng Pill as well as they circulated in his body. With this, his cultivation was improving at a visible rate at every second and minute.
…
Although it was peaceful in the Latent Dragon Abyss, everyone knew it was just the calm before the storm.
The County Governor’s estate might be vast, but news spread like a wildfire here. Every little thing that happened in there would be quickly made known in the estate.
“Hey! Did you hear about what happened in the Latent Dragon Abyss earlier today?”
“I did! I heard one of the Golden Celestials who’s younger than 100 years old whom Elder Zheng Qiu brought back from b.l.o.o.d.y Spectre City severed all four limbs of Revered Elder Zhou Tong’s G.o.dson, Zhou Fei, the moment he arrived at the Latent Dragon Abyss. Although Zhou Fei can reattach his limbs, I think there’ll still be some side effects.”
“That’s right! I really didn’t expect a rural place like b.l.o.o.d.y Spectre City to have such a Golden Celestial. You know Zhou Fei is a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial. Prior to this, I’ve never heard of any Golden Celestial below the age of 100 who’s more outstanding than him.”
“Well, life’s like that. There’s always someone stronger and better out there.”
“You’re right. The Golden Celestial from b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City is going to be famous.”
“By now, this news should’ve spread out of the County Governor’s estate, right? It won’t take long before the entire county knows about this.”
“At that time, Duan Ling Tian’s going to be really famous!”
…
When the news finally spread to Zheng Qiu, the inner-estate elder in the County Governor’s estate, he was stunned. In the end, he only smiled bitterly. “That boy really is a troublemaker!”
Zheng Qiu heaved a long sigh as he thought to himself, ‘You just arrived at the County Governor’s estate and the Latent Dragon Abyss, and you’ve already caused such big trouble. I understand you want the stone chamber with the best cultivation environment, but why would you sever Zhou Fei’s limbs? This will only offend Revered Elder Zhou Tong. Moreover, your actions are a blatant disregard of Lord County Governor’s rules! Boy, you’re on your own. I don’t think I can help you this time.’
Zheng Qiu had a favorable impression of Duan Ling Tian and was willing to help Duan Ling Tian if he could. However, this was way beyond his capability. There was nothing he could do to help Duan Ling Tian.
…
In the County Governor’s estate, outside the residence of the number one elder, Revered Elder Zhou Tong.
After quickly dealing with his injuries, Zhou Fei had rushed to see Zhou Tong. “What did you say? G.o.dfather left half a month ago?” His expression darkened when he heard Zhou Tong had been away for half a month now. He asked in a low voice, “How come I wasn’t informed about this?”
The servant in Zhou Tong’s residence said with a forced smile on his face, “Young Master Fei, this is a secret trip. Even Lord County Governor is unaware of it. I wouldn’t have disclosed this matter to you if you didn’t insist on going on. Lord Revered Elder had said that no one is allowed to know about this.”
“Fine, I’ll just go to Lord County Governor since G.o.dfather isn’t around! Since Duan Ling Tian blatantly disregarded the rule in the Latent Dragon Abyss, I’m sure Lord County Governor will punish him!”
Zhou Fei did not think much about the reason his G.o.dfather had left in such a secretive manner. At this moment, he was only filled with anger.
After he left Zhou Tong’s residence, he instantly went to the County Governor’s residence.
…
In the main hall of the County Governor’s residence.
After the inner-estate elders finished reporting to the County Governor and left, Zhou Fei who had been standing at the side stepped forward immediately. He fell to his knees as he said, “Lord County Governor, you have to seek justice for me!”
The County Governor of Nine Specters County was a tall and well-built middle-aged man. His face was angular, and his features were defined. His eyebrows were thick, and he had big round eyes. He had a majestic air about him as well. At this moment, he was dressed in a long silver robe that was embroidered with a silver dragon.
