*Yes, Lord City Governor.” Miao Lai Long nodded in response to Liu Feng Gu’s inquiry. He had come to hand over the Celestial Stones the Silverwyrm Army had mined last month. It was the responsibility of the Silverwyrm Army and Black Dragon Army to hand over 20% of the Celestial Stones they mined. The remaining 80% would be distributed among the officers and soldiers as their salary. Therefore, both Commanders of the Silverwyrm Army and Black Dragon Army would have to go to the City Governor’s estate at the start of every month to hand over the Celestial Stones their armies had mined.
“I heard that Captain Duan from the Black Dragon Army had severed an arm and a leg of Yang Kong Ping, a Captain of the Silverwyrm Army. Moreover, Yang Kong Ping is your brother-in-law. I heard your sister brought him to the camp immediately after the incident,” Liu Feng Gu said. He paused as he shot Miao Lai Long a meaningful look and asked, “Didn’t your sister ask you to avenge her husband? You don’t plan to stand up for your sister and your brother-in-law?”
“Lord City Governor! I have investigated the matter. It’s my subordinate, Captain Yang Kong Ping, who initiated the fight. Therefore, he’s at fault,” Miao Lai Long replied immediately as though he had already predicted Liu Feng Gu’s question.
“Even if it’s your subordinate’s fault, Captain Duan went over the line, didn’t he? Are you sure you can let this matter go?” Liu Feng Gu asked as he narrowed his eyes. He knew Miao Lai Long very well. Not to mention Yang Kong Ping was Miao Lai Long’s captain and brother-in-law, even if Yang Kong Ping was just an ordinary captain, Miao Lai Long still would not let the matter go!
“I can’t. However, for the sake of Bloody Specter City and Nine Specters County, I have decided to let it go!” Miao Lai Long said righteously.
“For the sake of Bloody Specter City and the Nine Specters County? Why do you say so?” Liu Feng Gu was startled.
“Lord City Governor, do you know that the Black Dragon Army’s Captain Duan had only ascended to the Devata Realm about one and half month ago?” Miao Lai Long asked solemnly.
“Yes, I’ve heard about it. A month ago, your centurion who was in Lai Feng Restaurant said that the Black Dragon Army’s Captain Duan had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven about half a month ago. He also said that Duan Ling Tian ascended to the Heavenly Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool. How absurd! How can a Heavenly Celestial be as strong as Duan Ling Tian?” Liu Feng Gu said dismissively and shook his head. After all, how could he believe that someone who had just ascended not too long ago was capable of crippling a Captain of the Silverwyrm Army? Impossible!
“Lord City Governor doesn’t seem to believe it?” Miao Lai Long smiled bitterly.
“Huh? Do you believe it?” Liu Feng Gu asked.
“Lord City Governor, in the Devata Realms, we don’t have anything like the lightning oath penalty so I can’t convince you by using that. However, I’m willing to use my honor to vouch for the fact that Duan Ling Tian is truly someone who ascended to the Heavenly Celestial’s Celestial Ascension Pool one and a half months ago! At that time, apart from my centurions and decurions, there were also other newcomers who had ascended at the same time as him. They can be witnesses. If you think my subordinates might lie, you can look for the newcomers to verify my words!” Miao Lai Long said solemnly.
“Lai Long, you’ve been serving me for many years. It’s not that I don’t trust your words, but do you think it’s possible for a Heavenly Celestial who has just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven to be stronger than a Captain of the Silverwyrm Army? If I’m not mistaken, Yang Kong Ping is a relatively strong Orange Sun Golden Celestial, and he’s ranked top three among your captains. Not to mention a Heavenly Celestial, even a new Golden Celestial wouldn’t be his opponent!” Liu Feng Gu was quite skeptical of Miao Lai Long’s words.
“Lord City Governor, based on what I know, the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities Duan Ling Tian had mastered are truly extraordinary. He even mastered a technique that could snatch one’s Celestial Weapon away! One and a half months ago, he had snatched my two centurions’ Celestial Weapons away when they fought! Due to all these reasons, I feel he’s a great talent and will be able to contribute greatly to Bloody Specter City and the Nine Specters City. That’s also why I decided not to pursue the matter,” Miao Lai Long explained. He feigned righteousness as he continued to say, “Otherwise, with my temperament, I certainly wouldn’t let him off the hook so easily!”
After a pause, Miao Lai Long looked at Liu Feng Gu and said solemnly, “Lord City Governor, if you want to validate this matter with the newcomers who ascended at the same as Duan Ling Tian, you can come with me to the Silverwyrm Army’s camp. The newcomers had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for about a month and a half. Your position is much higher than mine, they definitely wouldn’t dare to lie to you!”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll go with you!” Liu Feng Gu agreed. At this point, Miao Lai Long had convinced him of the veracity of his words. However, he decided to go to the Silverwyrm Army’s camp just to personally verify the matter. It was just as Miao Lai Long had said, his position was much higher than a commander, the newcomers definitely would not dare to lie to him!
An indecipherable emotion flashed in Miao Lai Long’s eyes at this moment. He rose to his feet and made an inviting gesture. “Lord City Governor, please!”
After a moment, Liu Feng Gu started moving as Miao Lai Long closely followed after. While they were on the way to the Silverwyrm Army’s camp, the depths of Miao Lai Long’s eyes were flashing with excitement. He swore inwardly, ‘Duan Ling Tian, this is just the beginning. I’ll definitely spread word about how you mastered extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities! Let’s see how you deal with Lord City Governor first!’ A hint of anger could be seen in his eyes as well at this moment.
Since he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength, Miao Lai Long knew there was nothing he could do to Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, since he had taught Duan Ling Tian the yellow-grade cultivation method, Duan Ling Tian could use that matter to threaten him. Therefore, he knew he could not use the incident from a month ago to make the City Governor take action against Duan Ling Tian. However, he could use Duan Ling Tian’s extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities as a bait to make things difficult for Duan Ling Tian. After all, no one, not even the City Governor, would be able to resist the temptation of extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities!
...
In the Black Dragon Army’s camp.
Duan Ling Tian who was in closed-door cultivation was, naturally, unaware of what Miao Lai Long, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, had done. During this month, he had mastered the new cultivation method, the Crystal Clearance Tactic. Currently, he could clearly feel that the Celestial Origin Energy in his body had become more refined. He knew this was due to the tempering from the yellow-grade cultivation method, the Crystal Clearance Tactic. He could also clearly feel his cultivation speed was one time faster compared to when he was cultivating using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique from the mundane realm. His cultivation base was improving rapidly!
Very quickly, another half a month had passed.
‘A breakthrough!’ Duan Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bright and an excited smile could be seen on his face. He was now an Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial. He was also a stone throw away from becoming a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial.
“If I were to face Miao Lai Long again, I can defeat him easily even if I don’t use my Celestial Weapon or snatch his Celestial Weapon away from him!” Duan Ling Tian murmured as he felt his Celestial Origin Energy that had undergone a transformation.
If Duan Ling Tian had just an ordinary breakthrough, he definitely would not be able to defeat Miao Lai Long without his Celestial Weapon or without snatching Miao Lai Long’s Celestial Weapon away. However, his Celestial Origin Energy that had been refined by the Crystal Clearance Tactic, the yellow-grade cultivation method, would raise the potential and strength of his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. The Elementary Devouring Tactic had become incomparably strong compared to its previous state!
“I wonder how many levels I can raise my Celestial Origin Energy to if I cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic now?” Duan Ling Tian was curious. He began to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings. Due to the abundance of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings, he did not alarm the others.
