2678 Time Flies Based on Liu Feng Gu’s words and analysis of the situation, Duan Ling Tian could see how meticulous Liu Feng Gu was. His expression turned grim when he heard Liu Feng Gu’s analysis. If the old lady was so strong that no one in King Qin’s Mansion could defeat her, then, who would be able to protect him if he went there? Liu Feng Gu’s words had made him aware of the danger of participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 counties in King Qin’s Mansion. It would not be wise for him to go to King Qin’s Mansion if he could not ascertain the old woman’s strength and identity since it was likely that she would be waiting for him there.

Although Liu Feng Gu had told Duan Ling Tian that the old lady was stronger than Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, he only took the words at face value. He did not think about the possibility of the old woman being stronger than the people in King Qin’s Mansion.

“Unless you can verify the old lady’s strength and identity, I don’t think you should participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties in King Qin’s Mansion!” Liu Feng Gu said.

“Thank you for your reminder.” Duan Ling Tian thanked Liu Feng Gu. With Liu Feng Gu’s reminder in mind, he left with a troubled heart. After all, this concerned his life.

After Duan Ling Tian left, Liu Feng Gu looked at the Spatial Ring in his hand and sighed. His hand tightened its grip on the ring as he murmured, “Duan Ling Tian, I hope you’ll keep my words in your mind. It’s best if you don’t join the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, and stay away from the areas governed by King Qin’s Mansion.”

Outside Bloody Specter City.

Swoosh!

Like a shooting star, Duan Ling Tian flew in the air toward the border of Nine Specters County. Since he did not have a specific destination in mind, he was flying without directions.

He was clearly troubled as he thought to himself, ‘Who’s that old lady? She must have a reason for wanting to kill me. However, I really don’t remember provoking someone like her.’

Duan Ling Tian began to recall everything that had happened since his ascension to the Spirit Overarching Heaven roughly three years ago. He really wanted to figure out the old lady’s purpose. All of a sudden, a figure appeared unbidden in his mind. ‘C-could it be her?’

Duan Ling Tian came to a halt immediately as he thought about the time when he had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. He remembered when he had strolled around Bloody Specters City when silence suddenly descended on the street. He remembered everyone’s eyes were trained on something behind him. Out of curiosity, he had turned around to have a look. The sight that greeted him at that time had caused him to fall into a momentary daze. The reason everyone had fallen silent was due to a beautiful woman. She had worn a plain purple dress at that time. Her eyebrows were perfectly arched. Her skin was clear, and she had a wasp waist. A translucent veil covered the lower half of her face, but it did not detract from her beauty. Instead, it drew attention to her bright eyes, and it filled people with the urge to peel the veil off her face. She had an elegant and graceful air about her. One could imagine how much more attractive she would be if she had taken her veil off.

Duan Ling Tian remembered as the woman daintily walked down the street, the crowd instinctively parted for her. Everyone, regardless of gender, was attracted by this woman as though they were under a spell. With her appearance, most men would have lecherous thoughts in their minds. However, strangely, that did not seem to be the case at that time. They had a reverent expression on their faces. It was as though they treated her like a sacred being, not to be desecrated with filthy thoughts.

When Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses, he heaved a long sigh. “Murong Bing…” He already had two wives and a partner from when he was in the mundane realm. Although there were many women around him, he only treated them as normal friends. He felt blessed with his two wives and a partner and had no wish of having more women in his life. He even guarded his heart carefully so as not to fall in love with any woman. Who knew he would end up having sex with a woman while he was not fully conscious? Moreover, he had only met the woman once prior to having sex. However, since they had sex, he was determined to take responsibility. He had told the woman, Murong Bing, that he would find her again and that the woman whom he had sex with could only belong to him. He had already seen her as his woman once they had had sex.

“Is it possible that the old lady is related to her? If she wanted to kill me, she would’ve done it at that time. There’s no need for her to send someone now, right?” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself. He did not think the old lady was sent by Murong Bing since she could have very well killed him at that time if she so wished. Moreover, she placed great importance on her virginity. Even if she changed her mind and wanted to kill him, she would have done it personally instead of sending someone else. After all, she would not tell another person that she wanted him dead because she had lost her virginity to him.

Duan Ling Tian became even more confused the more he thought about it. ‘If the old lady isn’t related to her… then, who could it be? However, if the old lady is sent by her, even more so, I shouldn’t go to King Qin’s Mansion to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.’ He had seen, first hand, how strong Murong Bing was. Moreover, it seemed like she came from a very powerful sect with a Sect Guarding Celestial Weapon. There was no doubt that the people from King Qin’s Mansion would not be able to deal with someone who was sent by Murong Bing.

Time flew by in just a blink of an eye. Roughly a year had passed, and the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties in King Qin’s Mansion was about to begin.

King Qin’s Mansion was the name of a force, a region, and a huge sprawling estate.

The capital, known as King City, of King Qin’s Mansion was located in a vast grassland. From afar, it looked like a slumbering beast with a gaping maw.

There was a rule in King Qin’s Mansion that prohibited people from entering from above. Everyone who wanted to enter King City had to enter through one of the four gates. This was so they could easily maintain order and prevent chaos and disturbance. It was only natural for King Qin’s Mansion to lay down such a rule since King City was huge and had a large population.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of wind blowing rang in the air as two groups of people coming from different directions flew toward the eastern gate of King City in King Qin’s Mansion.

The number of people in the two groups was roughly the same. They had about 30 people each in the groups. Both groups were led by a man respectively. Both men carried an imposing aura. It was clear they held a high position.

As soon as the group arrived at the eastern gate, they descended on the ground. None of them dared to defy the rule and directly fly into the city.

One of the men said, “County Governor Tian, what a coincidence to meet you outside the gate of King City.”

County Governor Tian was none other than Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County! Apart from a few inner-estate elders and Revered Elders, the remaining people in Tian Ji Yu’s group were 29 men who were younger than 100 years old.

If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would definitely recognize two of the inner-estate elders as Zheng Qiu and Pang Bing.
