Chapter 2607 Raging in Bloody Specter City

Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s question, Chen Xuan Ba replied frankly, “It’ll be very difficult. Lord City Governor treasures that cultivation method greatly. He’ll only impart the method to someone he trusts and has achieved a certain cultivation base.” Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully before he said again, “Your cultivation base definitely meets Lord City Governor’s requirement, but in regard to trust… If you serve the Black Dragon Army for decades or centuries, he might be willing to teach you at that time.”

“Decades or centuries?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Not to mention the Black Dragon Army, but he could not stay in Bloody Specter City for long. ‘Well, even if I don’t cultivate a graded cultivation method now, I can still cultivate as fast the Commander of the Black Dragon Army and the City Governor of Bloody Specter City just by relying on my 99 Heavenly Veins.’ After he thought it through, he decided to put the matter aside.

Although Duan Ling Tian did not have a graded cultivation method for now, he had 99 Heavenly Veins that everyone would envy. In Devata Realms, it was advantageous to have more Heavenly Veins since it would help one to mobilize one’s Celestial Origin Energy and cultivate at a faster speed. Moreover, he thought he would be able to obtain a graded cultivation method easily after he improved his strength and left the Bloody Specter City. In Bloody Specter City, a yellow-grade cultivation method was treated like a peerless treasure. He was certain that the strong forces in the Nine Specters County would have higher grade cultivation methods.

‘The young waiter also said there would be graded cultivation methods that are put up for auction occasionally in the Nine Specters County.’ With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian felt relieved. After bidding farewell to Chen Xuan Ba, he returned to his tent. He managed to calm down and begin to cultivate.

After cultivating for an hour, a loud voice rang from outside Duan Ling Tian’s tent, waking him up from his cultivation.

“Lord Captain!”

“Hmm?” Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, a slight frown could be seen on his face. However, he still exited his tent since he knew the voice belonged to one of his men. It was the centurion whom he had injured.

“What can I do for you?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He knew the centurion must have something urgent to report based on his voice that was laden with anxiety.

“Lord Captain, I come with a message. Two centurions and seven decurions from our troops are being held hostage in a restaurant in Bloody Specter City by Captain Yang Kong Ping of the Silverwyrm Army. He had asked me to tell you to personally retrieve them!” The centurion quickly revealed the reason for his visit.

“Two of my centurions and seven of my decurions are being held hostage by a Captain of the Silverwyrm Army?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened immediately.

Duan Ling Tian was somewhat moved when he saw how his subordinates had trusted him in the Valley of Ares and how they had stood up for him. At that moment, he had sincerely accepted them as his subordinates. Therefore, when he was told his subordinates were being held hostage by a captain from the Silverwyrm Army, he felt fury coursing through his veins!

“Take me there!” Duan Ling Tian demanded.

The centurion quickly stepped forward to lead the way without wasting any time.

During the journey, Duan Ling Tian asked the centurion, “What’s your name?”

“Lord Captain, I’m Tong Zheng,” the Centurion replied politely. Although he was injured by Duan Ling Tian earlier, and his injury had yet to heal, he did not resent Duan Ling Tian since he knew he was at fault!

“Tell me how the conflict with the people from the Silverwyrm Army started. Although the Black Dragon Army and Silverwyrm Army don’t get along that well, the Captain of the Silverwyrm Army would not act so recklessly for no reason, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Lord Captain, the thing is…” Tong Zheng recounted everything in detail as he led the way.

As it turned out, this matter was related to Duan Ling Tian. After he had defeated Jian Qiu Ping in the Valley of Ares, his subordinates, two centurions and seven decurions, not counting Tong Zheng, had gone to a restaurant in Bloody Specter City to celebrate. Since they were talking loudly about what had happened in the Valley of Ares, a captain and a few centurions from the Silverwyrm Army overheard their conversation. Those people from the Silverwyrm Army claimed his subordinates were bragging and telling lies. Since a Captain of the Silverwyrm Army was there, everyone in the restaurant, naturally, agreed with the people from the Silverwyrm Army and accused Tong Zheng and the others of lying.

Tong Zheng and the others, naturally, felt unresigned from being wrongfully accused so they began to defend themselves. Unfortunately, their voices were drowned out by the other guests in the restaurant. Although they felt wronged, they decided to leave the restaurant under everyone’s contemptuous stare. However, they were prevented from leaving. The person who had stopped them from leaving was none other than the Captain of the Silverwyrm Army!

The Captain of the Silverwyrm Army had only allowed one of them to leave so that person would be able to convey his message to Duan Ling Tian. He wanted Duan Ling Tian to personally retrieve his subordinates because he wanted to see what kind of person had replaced Huang Ji Bing, the previous captain of Duan Ling Tian’s troops.

Since Duan Ling Tian’s ten subordinates were weaker than the Captain of the Silverwyrm Army, nine of them could only stay back while Tong Zheng left the restaurant to return to camp and convey the message to Duan Ling Tian.

Upon hearing Tong Zheng’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed and shone with anger. “Yang Kong Ping, Captain of the Silverwyrm Army? How domineering…”

Although Duan Ling Tian looked calm, Tong Zheng who was leading the way in front could clearly feel chills running up his spine at this moment. Duan Ling Tian’s anger felt palpable to him. ‘Lord Captain is truly angry!’ Before they arrived in Bloody Specter City, he continued to say, “Lord Captain, Yang Kong Ping’s strength is ranked in the top three among the ten Captains of the Silverwyrm Army. Apart from being a captain, he’s also the brother-in-law of the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army. For this reason, even our previous captain, Huang Ji Bing, wouldn’t simply provoke him even though he was not any weaker than Yang Kong Ping.”

Then, Tong Zheng turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said, “You can just display a little of your strength to Yang Kong Ping and take our men away. If it’s possible, try not to hurt him. The Commander of the Silverwyrm Army is known to be protective!” When he saw the blank expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, his heart jolted, and he hastily said, “Naturally, I’m not doubting your strength. I just don’t wish for our conflict to cause you trouble.” Since he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength in the Valley of Ares, he was confident his captain would be able to easily defeat Yang Kong Ping. However, he was not certain if his captain was a match for the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army.

“Okay, I know what to do,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently. Since the beginning until now, his expression had remained calm.

It did not take long before they entered Bloody Specter City. Duan Ling Tian who was burning with anger followed Tong Zheng to a relatively fancy restaurant.

There was a board hanging on the entrance of the restaurants with the words, ‘Lai Feng Restaurant’. Based on the calligraphy, the words were written powerfully with a strong hand. Therefore, it was not difficult to tell that it had been written by a man.

At this moment, there were many people, on the ground and in the air, crowding around the entrance of the restaurant. All of them were peering in as though something interesting was going on inside.

When a few sharp-eyed people in the crowd saw Tong Zheng, they began to cry out.

“They are here! They are here!”

“It’s the centurion from the Black Dragon Army who left earlier! He has returned!”

“Is the purple-clad young man next to him the new Captain of the Black Dragon Army?”

Tong Zheng stood at the side of the entrance and respectfully motioned for Duan Ling Tian to enter. “Lord Captain, please!”

Duan Ling Tian calmly walked into the restaurant. The onlookers instinctively made way for him as he walked. After all, the purple-clad young man was a Captain of the Black Dragon Army, he was someone they could not afford to provoke!

Meanwhile, Tong Zheng followed Duan Ling Tian into the restaurant.

However, as soon as Duan Ling Tian stepped into the restaurant, a familiar voice exclaimed in shock, “It’s you?”
