"The immortal power of the Red Sun Golden Immortal is indeed much stronger than that of the Purple Sun Golden Immortal..."
After his cultivation reached the level of 'Red Sun Golden Immortal', Duan Lingtian could clearly feel the changes in the immortal energy within his body.
Those changes are not comparable to the changes in the power of immortality during any previous breakthrough at the immortal level.
"However, I don't know how long I spent in retreat this time."
Although his cultivation level has successfully broken through and he has become a 'Golden Immortal', Duan Lingtian does not know how long he has been practicing because it is impossible for him to pay attention to time when he is practicing.
"Although I don't know how long this retreat took, I can be sure that it took a long time... It's really strange: I broke off Zhou Fei's limbs, seriously injured him, violated the rules of Qianlongyuan, and yet I also No one came to raise an army to hold people accountable?"
That day, he defeated Zhou Fei, cut off his limbs, and robbed Zhou Fei of the deepest stone chamber in the Hidden Dragon Abyss. When he came in to practice, Duan Lingtian was already prepared for someone to come and ask for help.
After all, he violated Qianlongyuan's rules.
In addition, Zhou Fei is also the adopted son of the first "Zhou Tong" enshrined in the county governor's mansion.
However, he never expected that in the process of his breakthrough to the 'Red Sun Golden Immortal', he would not suffer any interference, as if the incident where he crippled Zhou Fei's limbs did not really happen. .
"what happened?"
Under doubt, Duan Lingtian left the stone chamber at the deepest part of Qianlong Abyss and appeared in front of several young men who had just come out of other stone chambers.
These young men also discovered Duan Lingtian when he came out.
"It's that Duan Lingtian! He's out of seclusion!"
"After half a year, he finally came out... What's even more unexpected is that the incident half a year ago ended so inexplicably."
"Finished? As far as I know, this matter is not necessarily settled... It is said that it is because Zhou Tong has been in retreat half a year ago and has not come out yet, so he did not interfere in the incident half a year ago. . If he comes out of confinement, even if half a year has passed, he won’t be able to let it go!"
"Yes. For that incident half a year ago, anyone with a clear eye can almost conclude that Elder Zheng Qiu deliberately took the blame and protected this Lingtian... If Zhou Tong is released from seclusion, he will definitely not let it go easily. Elder Zheng Qiu and Duan Lingtian."
…
Several young men looked at Duan Lingtian from a distance and whispered.
Although their whispers were not loud, they still reached Duan Lingtian's ears clearly.
For a moment, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be startled:
"That incident half a year ago? Was it the incident where I broke Zhou Fei's limbs, seriously injured Zhou Fei, and violated the rules of Qianlongyuan?"
"That Zhou Tong happened to be in seclusion? No wonder he didn't cause any trouble for me... However, they said that Elder Zheng Qiu deliberately took the blame and protected me. So what happened?"
Duan Lingtian felt extremely confused about this.
"What do you mean by what you said?"
In a flash, Duan Lingtian appeared in front of the whispering young men like a ghost. While their expressions changed greatly, Duan Lingtian asked in a calm tone: "You said Elder Zheng Qiu deliberately took the blame? What do you mean by protecting me?"
Several young men originally thought that Duan Lingtian was angry because they heard their whispers and wanted to cause trouble for them, so they couldn't help but change their expressions.
Now, facing Duan Lingtian's inquiry and seeing Duan Lingtian's face without any anger, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the face of Duan Lingtian's inquiry, they did not dare to neglect. They quickly told Duan Lingtian the ins and outs of the matter one by one, and also let Duan Lingtian know that he had been in seclusion for half a year this time.
In addition, it also let Duan Lingtian know that the incident half a year ago has been calm so far, and no one has come to him to ask for the 'reason'.
It turns out that everything is because of that inner palace elder 'Zheng Qiu'!
"Elder Zheng Qiu actually said that he didn't tell me the rules of Qianlongyuan, so I broke off Zhou Fei's limbs, seriously injured him, and violated Jiuyou County without knowing the rules of Qianlongyuan. Qianlongyuan’s rules set by the governor himself?”
After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Duan Lingtian frowned slightly again, "But, doesn't Elder Zheng Qiu know... will he offend Zhou Tong by doing this? Isn't he afraid that Zhou Tong will cause trouble for him?"
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian also left Qianlongyuan and followed the memory of half a year ago to find Zheng Qiu, the elder of the inner palace.
"Duan Lingtian...are you out of seclusion?"
Zheng Qiu was also a little surprised when Duan Lingtian came to his door.
He had also heard that Duan Lingtian had not left the stone chamber at the deepest part of the Qianlong Abyss in the past six months and had been in seclusion. Because of this, he asked this question when he saw Duan Lingtian coming to the door.
As long as Duan Lingtian came to the door, he could naturally guess one or two.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that an inadvertent retreat would take a full half a year..."
"That's what cultivation is like."
Zheng Qiu smiled and said: "You have only been here for half a year... I once spent more than ten years in retreat. As the saying goes, 'cultivation has no time'."
"What I didn't expect was that...half a year ago, Elder Zheng Qiu, you actually took the blame for me."
When Duan Lingtian spoke again, he looked at Zheng Qiu with a solemn expression and said: "Elder Zheng Qiu, I know you did that with good intentions... But haven't you ever thought about it: once Zhou Tong comes out of seclusion, you will know for half a year I won’t let you go easily for what happened before.”
"Duan Lingtian, do you think... I took the blame for you six months ago in order to repay the favor Xue Youcheng owed you on the way to the county seat?"
Zheng Qiu asked.
"Is not it?"
Duan Lingtian asked back.
"of course not!"
Zheng Qiu shook his head and said: "After you came to the Sheriff's Mansion, I told you... I will ask the Sheriff to help you when Zhou Tong worships you and accepts you as his direct disciple. You will not be persecuted by Zhou Tong. By doing this, you will be able to exchange the favor owed to you."
"It can be said that...from the moment I sent you to Qianlongyuan, the relationship between you and me was already clear."
Zheng Qiu continued.
Duan Lingtian then remembered that Zheng Qiu had indeed said that to him before he and Qin Yu were placed in this courtyard and went to find the governor of Jiuyou County alone.
"Since the relationship between us is already two-sided... Elder Zheng Qiu, why do you want to take the blame for me?"
Duan Lingtian became increasingly confused.
He always felt that this matter was not that simple...
Elder Zheng Qiu, if he didn't think he still owed him a favor, would not risk offending Zhou Tong to help him get out of trouble.
After all, he and Elder Zheng Qiu could only be regarded as casual acquaintances.
"I can tell you this later..."
Zheng Qiu took a deep look at Duan Lingtian and asked: "I'm even more curious...why did you insist on breaking off Zhou Fei's limbs, seriously injuring Zhou Fei, and violating the rules of Qianlongyuan after knowing the rules of Qianlongyuan?"
"You should know... by doing that, you not only offended Zhou Fei's adoptive father, the number one enshrined 'Zhou Tong' in our Jiuyou County Sheriff's Mansion, but also offended the Sheriff who established the rules of Qian Longyuan!"
"What you do is completely playing with fire!"
"I'm really curious...why did you do that? Didn't you think about the consequences?"
After Zheng Qiu finished speaking, he asked further.
"Why do you do that?"
Hearing Zheng Qiu's words, Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes, and a sharp cold light flashed in the slits of his eyes, "What I did was just treating the other person with his own way... If it weren't for Zhou Fei who threatened to kill me His limbs, I have no interest in cutting off his limbs!"
"Just...that simple?"
Zheng Qiu looked at Duan Lingtian in disbelief, "You...you broke off his limbs and seriously injured him just because of his threatening words at that time?"
"Threatening words?"
After hearing Zheng Qiu's words, Duan Lingtian smiled coldly, "Elder Zheng Qiu, I was also stronger than him that day... If my strength was not as good as his, I'm sure it wasn't him who had his limbs amputated that day. , but me!”
"Even so, you are too impulsive!"
Zheng Qiu shook his head and said: "According to the rules of Qianlongyuan, the challenger cannot seriously injure the challenged, but the challenged can seriously injure the challenger... In other words, he can do it without destroying your limbs. I'll cut off your limbs. But you can't do that!"
"I couldn't care less about the situation at that time."
Duan Lingtian said lightly.
In his words, Duan Lingtian completely portrayed himself as a reckless man.
But, is this really the case?
In fact, when he cut off Zhou Fei's limbs and seriously injured Zhou Fei, he thought of a series of 'consequences'.
But, he still did it.
As for the reason for doing that, it was also because he thought of a 'method' to protect himself in front of Zhou Tong and the governor of Jiuyou County.
Just when Duan Lingtian came to communicate with Zheng Qiu.
Tens of thousands of miles away from the north of Jiuyou County, an old and old figure passed through the sky. In a flash, it was like an inch of earth and sky, spanning a large distance.
This figure is getting closer and closer to Jiuyou County. It is obviously coming towards Jiuyou County.
"The Duan Lingtian who seriously injured Fei'er, is he from Blood Nether City?"
As the old man hurried on, his eyes were gleaming, and when he murmured, his tone was cold, as if the air around him dropped several degrees.
"And that Zheng Qiu... dares to take the blame for that boy named Duan Lingtian. He is simply asking for death!"
Listening to the old man's muttering, his identity is also easy to come out:
Zhou Tong!
The No. 1 enshrinement in the Jiuyou County Sheriff’s Mansion!
