When he came back this time, Duan Lingtian could clearly feel the change in the attitude of Blood Nether City Lord ‘Liu Fenggu’ towards him.

Even the name given to him has also changed.

As for why such a change occurred, it is not difficult for Duan Lingtian to guess:

It must be because his current strength is no longer weaker than that of the 'Daluo Golden Immortal'.

Now, in Liu Fenggu's eyes, there is no difference between him and the 'Daluo Jinxian'.

"Duan Lingtian, why are you in such a hurry to go back? It's rare to come back, aren't you going to stay a few more days?"

After leaving Xueyou City, Qin Yu asked Duan Lingtian curiously, but felt that Duan Lingtian was leaving too hastily.

"One year from now, the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' held by Prince Qin's Mansion will begin... In the next year, I want to spend more time on training."

Duan Lingtian did not mention the matter of 'immortal fire' to Qin Yu. He just made an excuse, saying that he was in such a hurry to return to Jiuyou County because he was anxious to return to the governor's mansion to practice.

"Sixteen counties will compete in martial arts?"

Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "If you didn't mention this, I almost forgot about it."

"However... with your current strength, who else can be your opponent in participating in the martial arts competition of the sixteen counties? After all, one of the conditions for participating in the martial arts competition in the sixteen counties is that the number of participants must not exceed one hundred.

age!"

"Not to mention the entire Qin Prince's Palace, even if you look at the entire Yunyan Fairy Kingdom, no one under a hundred years old can be your opponent, right?"

Qin Yu said.

He had seen Duan Lingtian's strength with his own eyes.

Perhaps, Duan Lingtian's cultivation level has not yet reached the level of the 'Daluo Golden Immortal', but his strength is not weaker than the average Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even the number one enshrined person in the Jiuyou County Sheriff’s Mansion, ‘Zhou Tong’, a being at the Golden Immortal level of the Great Luo in the Yellow Realm, died in his hands.

In addition, Duan Lingtian also has a high-grade soul defense weapon, which is not afraid of Daluo Jinxian's soul attack.

Because of this, it also means that Duan Lingtian is not weaker than Da Luo Jinxian, and is powerful enough to crush almost all existences at the level of Jinxian!

Even if you look at the entire Yunyan Fairy Kingdom, you have never heard of:

Who has broken through to the level of 'Daluo Jinxian' when he is less than a hundred years old?

"There are no absolutes."

After hearing Qin Yu's words, Duan Lingtian also realized the flaw of his 'excuse', and quickly opened his mouth to make amends: "As the saying goes, 'there is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world'... Until the end, who can be sure that participating in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition will

No one has the strength to surpass my existence?"

As soon as Duan Lingtian said these words, Qin Yu immediately fell silent.

Even though, he still felt that it was unlikely that such a person would exist.

However, as Duan Lingtian said, he did not dare to be 100% sure until the end:

Among those sixteen county martial arts competitions, there would be no one stronger than Duan Lingtian.

The whole journey was silent.

Duan Lingtian and Qin Yu successfully returned to Jiuyou County after dealing with two waves of interceptions.

And those two waves of people who didn't have long eyes also became the souls of Duan Lingtian's sword.

"Qin Yu, I still have some things to do...you should go back to the governor's mansion first."

After returning to the county town, Duan Lingtian said hello to Qin Yu, but before Qin Yu could react, he left again and completely disappeared from Qin Yu's eyes.

Although he didn't know what Duan Lingtian was going to do, Qin Yu could also tell that Duan Lingtian didn't want him to follow him.

Therefore, he wisely returned to the Sheriff's Mansion alone, preparing to return to Qianlongyuan's training stone room to practice.

"Now that Zhou Fei is dead...his cultivation stone room is mine."

After returning to the governor's mansion and thinking about this clearly, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhou Fei's cultivation stone chamber is second only to Duan Lingtian's cultivation stone chamber in Qianlong Abyss in terms of cultivation environment.

"I heard that not long after Zhou Fei's death, Zhou Tongxong also died... Is this true? Isn't Zhou Tongxong the 'Da Luo Jinxian'?"

After entering the governor's mansion and on the way back to Qianlongyuan, Qin Yu heard a startling voice in his ears.

When he looked back, he saw three guards from the Sheriff's Mansion, walking side by side and whispering to each other.

"It seems that the Sheriff's Mansion already knows about the deaths of Zhou Fei and Zhou Tong... However, this is normal. After all, they must have soul beads stored in the Sheriff's Mansion. Especially Zhou Tong's soul beads.

The Sheriff must have it in his hands. Once Zhou Tong's soul bead is broken, the Sheriff will definitely know it immediately."

Qin Yu secretly said.

"Zhou Tong worshiped and died? Who...did you listen to that?"

"Zhou Tongzong seems to have died...the news was inadvertently leaked when two inner palace elders were talking."

"If Zhou Tong is really dead, it also means that the person who killed him must be a 'Daluo Jinxian' or above... And in our Jiuyou County, there are only two Daluo Jinxian, except Zhou Tongsong

Apart from me, there is only one person left, the Sheriff."

"That person is definitely not from our Jiuyou County. I just don't know why he wanted to kill Zhou Tong to worship him?"

…

The three guards from the county guard's mansion were whispering to each other as they walked, and gradually moved away from Qin Yu, their voices getting quieter and quieter.

"Aren't we from Jiuyou County?"

Qin Yu smiled faintly.

If these three people knew that the Zhou Tong worshiper they mentioned died in Duan Lingtian's hands, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop, right?

The Sheriff's Mansion, in the main hall.

"Lord Sheriff, have you found out who killed Zhou Tongzong?"

The elder of the inner palace, ‘Zheng Qiu’, looked at ‘Tian Jiyu’, the governor of Jiuyou County, who was sitting in the first place, and asked in a low voice.

For a moment, the other inner palace elders standing next to Zheng Qiu all turned their eyes to Tian Jiyu, and they all wanted to know whether the governor of their Jiuyou County had found out who had killed the number one person in their Jiuyou County.

The enshrined 'murderer'.

"No."

Tian Jiyu shook his head with a gloomy expression, "The person who killed Zhou Tong's worship is obviously much stronger than him...otherwise, he wouldn't even have a chance to send back the 'message talisman'."

"Now... the only thing that is certain is that Zhou Tong was killed shortly after Zhou Fei's death. Even if they did not die in the hands of the same person, they definitely died in the hands of the same gang.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

Tian Jiyu continued.

Tian Jiyu's words also made Zheng Qiu and other inner government elders nod.

It really can’t be such a coincidence!

Not long after the adopted son died, the adoptive father also died.

The two deaths must be closely related to each other.

"Lord Sheriff!"

At this time, an inner palace elder looked at Tian Jiyu and said: "We have no way of finding out when Zhou Tongzong left the county governor's mansion... However, I found out that when Zhou Fei left the county governor's mansion, he lurked

There were two other people on Long Yuan's side who left the Sheriff's Mansion first."

"who?"

Tian Jiyu's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice.

"Duan Lingtian, Qin Yu."

The inner elder continued.

Hearing the words of the inner palace elder, Tian Jiyu burst into laughter, "What? Do you want to say... that the deaths of Zhou Fei and Zhou Tong are related to them?"

"I'm not sure about this. I just think it's a bit of a coincidence... It just so happens that Zhou Fei and Duan Lingtian have a grudge."

The inner elder continued.

"Zhou Fei hates Duan Lingtian, but as early as a year and a half ago, Elder Zhou Tong was determined to cultivate Duan Lingtian to become a talent, so that he could shine in the 'Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition' held in the Qin Palace a year later...

Zhou Fei alone, even if he hates Duan Lingtian, does not have the strength or the courage to provoke Duan Lingtian."

Tian Jiyu said lightly.

"As for Qin Yu, although he and Duan Lingtian came from Blood Youcheng... there is no hatred between him and Zhou Fei. Moreover, his strength alone is not enough to kill Zhou Fei."

Tian Jiyu continued.

"But apart from the two of them... I really don't know how to investigate this matter."

The elder of the inner palace smiled bitterly and finally said, his eyes flashed, and he asked cautiously, "Master Sheriff... do you want to check on them?"

"Checking them is just a useless exercise...it's not necessary!"

Tian Jiyu shook his head and said.
