Chapter 2605 - Liu Feng Gu, The City Governor of Bloody Specter

Chapter 2605 Liu Feng Gu, The City Governor of Bloody Specter City!

When Duan Ling Tian heard Chen Xuan Ba’s question, he looked at Chen Xuan Ba meaningfully and replied slowly, “Broke the rules? Commander, rules are set by humans, right? As the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, it all depends on your words if I have broken a rule or not today.” His eyes were slightly narrowed when he spoke.“Captain Duan, what’s your objective in coming to the Black Dragon Army?” Chen Xuan Ba asked in a low voice. After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s attack, he could see that Duan Ling Tian was not weaker than him. Moreover, there was a chance that Duan Ling Tian was even stronger than him. Why would someone with such strength come to the Black Dragon Army just to be a captain under his command? He was not worried his position as the Commander of Black Dragon Army would be taken away just because Duan Ling Tian was stronger. After all, it was not easy for one to be appointed as a commander. The process was different from captains, centurions, and decurions who could obtain their positions through sheer strength. A commander, on the other hand, had to be personally appointed by the City Governor. In other words, one would need the approval of the City Governor to become a commander.

Duan Ling Tian answered bluntly, “I’m looking for a place to cultivate.”

Chen Xuan Ba studied Duan Ling Tian intently, trying to determine Duan Ling Tian’s motive. However, he did not see any signs that showed Duan Ling Tian was lying. After mulling over it, he could not think of a reason for Duan Ling Tian to harbor ill intentions toward the Black Dragon Army. He thought to himself, ‘It seems like there’s nothing in the Black Dragon Army that’s worthy of his attention.’ In the end, he decided not to think about it anymore and only glanced at Duan Ling Tian before he left the Valley of Ares.

Chen Xuan Ba’s departure undoubtedly expressed his stance toward today’s incident. It seemed like he was not going to pursue the matter of Duan Ling Tian killing Jian Qiu Ping.

The officers and soldiers present in the Valley of Ares were not surprised by this outcome. Although their commander did not battle with Duan Ling Tian, it was quite clear that Duan Ling Tian was as strong, if not stronger, as their commander. For that reason, even if their commander wanted to hold Duan Ling Tian accountable for Jian Qiu Ping’s death, he might be unable to do so unless he reported the matter to the City Governor. Even then, based on what they knew about the City Governor, he was a man who valued talent. As long as Duan Ling Tian did not harbor ill intentions toward Bloody Specter City, it was very likely that he would not hold Duan Ling Tian accountable for Jian Qiu Ping’s death as well. After all, Jian Qiu Ping who was killed was nowhere near as valuable as Duan Ling Tian.

After Chen Xuan Ba had left, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu, two of the Captains of the Black Dragon Army, flew toward Duan Ling Tian and spoke enthusiastically.

“Captain Duan, I didn’t expect you to conceal your strength! That fellow, Jian Qiu Ping, was truly blind for calling you a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial!”

“That’s right! That’s right! That damn Jian Qiu Ping! It’s certainly his honor for being able to die in your hands!”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian sneered at them inwardly. Initially, two of them had changed their attitude as soon as Jian Qiu Ping declared he was a mere Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial. For this reason, he was indifferent to their friendliness. He ignored both of them and approached the other two captains on the scene, Zhao Dong Xin and Qin Yu. He bade them farewell. “Captain Zhao, Captain Qin, I’ll take my leave first since I’m in a rush to cultivate!”

“Take care, Captain Duan,” Zhao Dong Xing and Qin Yu quickly responded. Although Duan Ling Tian was just a captain like them, they did not dare to treat him as an equal. After all, based on the strength that he displayed earlier, it seemed like his strength was not any weaker than their commander’s.

After Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Zhao Dong Xing and Qin Yu, he turned and nodded at his subordinates who were looking at him excitedly before he swiftly flew out of the Valley of Ares.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu left after Duan Ling Tian had left. After all, their current situation was very awkward. They took the initiative to greet Duan Ling Tian earlier and even took the initiative to say flattering words, but Duan Ling Tian had just ignored them. They were, naturally, angry, but they did not dare to express it. Based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed earlier, it was clear he was not someone they could afford to offend!

Soon after, Qin Yu and Zhao Dong Xing followed suit and left as well.

With the high-ranking officials gone, the soldiers in the Valley of Ares broke into an uproar!

“I really didn’t expect Captain Duan to be so strong. I don’t think he’s any weaker than our commander,” a centurion said with a sigh.

Many people agreed with the centurion’s words.

“Indeed.”

“I wonder why Captain Duan came to the Black Dragon Army when he’s so strong?”

“Didn’t you hear him say he was looking for a place to cultivate? Apart from Lord City Governor’s isolated room, the best cultivation locations in and around Bloody Specter City are the locations of the Black Dragon Army and Silverwyrm Army’s commanders and captains’ tents.”

“I wonder what the expressions of those from the Silverwyrm Army would be like if they learn that we have a captain who’s as strong as our commander?”

“There’s no doubt that it would be splendid!”

The officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Army were so focused in their discussions that they stayed in the Valley of Ares for half a day. Their animated discussions revolved around their new captain.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, left the camp after he had left the Valley of Ares. At this moment, he had entered the Bloody Specter City, rushing to the City Governor’s estate to meet the City Governor.

The City Governor was called Liu Feng Gu. He was a tall middle-aged man with a dignified air about him. He was in the midst of cultivating when Chen Xuan Ba arrived. Since he was not in closed-door cultivation, he could stop cultivating as he pleased and go out to greet Chen Xuan Ba.

In the main hall of the City Governor’s estate, Liu Feng Gu was sitting on the main seat. He looked at Chen Xuan Ba who was sitting at the bottom and asked with a smile, “Xuan Ba, you’re in such a hurry to find me, is there something important?”

Chen Xuan Ba was one of his commanders and was in charge of the Black Dragon Army. He had always been conscientious and had never made a mistake. Therefore, he liked this subordinate very much. Furthermore, after years of being together, he had long stopped treating Chen Xuan Ba as an outsider.

Chen Xuan Ba did not beat around the bush and replied, “Lord City Governor, do you remember I made an announcement about giving the position of captain to whoever finds the identity token of one our captains who died?”

Liu Feng Gu nodded. “Yes, I heard about it.” A shocked expression appeared on his face as he asked, “What? Did someone find it? However, I heard your captain died because he was accidentally pulled into the Little World in the mountain range south of our Bloody Specter City. Does this mean the deceased captain was not pulled into the Little World?” Judging from his expression, he was quite curious about this matter.

“There’s no mistake he died in the Little World. However, someone managed to retrieve his identity token from the Little World,” Chen Xuan Ba said.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan Ba’s words, Liu Feng Gu rose to his feet in shock. His eyes were burning as he asked, “What? Xuan Ba, are... are you certain about this?”

“Yes.” Chen Xuan Ba nodded. Then, he recounted what Duan Ling Tian had told him to Liu Feng Gu. “After that, I personally made a trip south to verify that the entrance to the Little World had disappeared.”

Liu Feng Gu narrowed his eyes and murmured, “As it turns out, that Little World was created by a Supreme Celestial King from the Blissful Sect! It’s no wonder that even high-rank Celestial Kingdoms that came couldn’t decrypt the secret of the Little World after all these years. After all, the Blissful Sect is far stronger than the forces of high-rank Celestial Kingdoms!” A hint of awe and reverence could be heard in his voice as he spoke about the Blissful Sect. To someone like him, even a high-rank Celestial Kingdom was out of his reach, let alone the Blissful Sect that was much stronger. “Your new captain is, indeed, lucky for being able to leave the Little Word alive.”

At this moment, Chen Xuan Ba revealed the reason for his visit. “Lord City Governor, I’m here today because of him. I’ve witnessed his strength earlier, he’s not any weaker than me!”
