War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2616 Liu Feng Gu Made A Personal Visi

After Duan Ling Tian cast his assist-type Divine Ability, a slight frown appeared on his face. It was apparent he was disappointed. ‘Hmm? My Celestial Origin Energy has merely risen three levels? It has only risen one level compared to its previous state… According to Elder Huo, my Elementary Devouring Tactic shouldn’t be so weak! Even Miao Lai Long’s assist-type Divine Ability could raise his Celestial Origin Energy by three levels… How’s it possible that the Elementary Devouring Tactic only raised mine a level higher than his?’ He really was unwilling to accept this. Therefore, he thoroughly lost his mood to continue cultivating.

At this moment, a rather confused and upset Duan Ling Tian heard the voice of Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, ringing from outside his tent. “Lord City Governor! W-why are you here?”

‘Lord City Governor? The City Governor of Bloody Specter City? Why did he come? Is it due to the matter from a month ago? No… That’s impossible since Miao Lai Long taught me the Crystal Clearance Tactic. He definitely won’t risk his life just to seek revenge from me…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Although he had only met Miao Lai Long once, he was certain Miao Lai Long definitely would not dare to take this risk!

A voice Duan Ling Tian was not familiar with responded, “I’m here to look for Captain Duan.”

Although Duan Ling Tian had yet to meet the City Governor of the Bloody Specter City, he knew the City Governor was the strongest powerhouse in the city under the Nine Specters County. He wondered inwardly in confusion, ‘It’s Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City! Why did he come if it’s not for that matter?’

“Lord City Governor!”

“Lord City Governor!”

Meanwhile, another few familiar voices rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. These voices belonged to four of the Captains of the Black Dragon Army. These captains were Hu Ji, Chai Wen Yu, Zhang Dong Xing, and Qin Yu. The first two liked to curry favor with those in power, therefore, Duan Ling Tian paid them no mind. On the contrary, his impression of the other two captains was quite good for the time being. Based on their voices, he could hear the ingratiating tone in Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu’s voices while the other two captain’s voices remained normal.

…

Outside Duan Ling Tian’s tent.

Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, looked at Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, and bluntly asked, “Lord City Governor, are you here for Captain Duan because the matter that occurred in Lai Feng Restaurant one and a half month ago?”

Meanwhile, both Zhang Dong Xing and Qin Yu slightly lifted their eyebrows. They were not close to Duan Ling Tian, but they did not wish for harm to befall him for the sake of the Black Dragon Army’s sake. On the other hand, the other two captains, Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu, looked at each other, and they saw the malice and satisfaction in each other’s eyes.

Liu Feng Gu replied, “About that matter, Commander Miao Lai Long has stated that he won’t pursue the matter. Therefore, there’s no reason for me to pursue the matter. I came here to look for Captain Duan about another matter. I promise you that I’m not here to look for trouble with him. Don’t worry.”

Chen Xuan Ba, Zhao Dong Xing, and Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, and they inwardly sighed in relief when they heard Liu Feng Gu’s words.

On the other hand, Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu looked at each other again, the hint of schadenfreude in their eyes was gone and was replaced by disappointment.

“H-how is it possible? Lord City Governor said that Commander Miao had no intention of pursuing the matter!”

“This isn’t like Miao Lai Long at all!”

Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu were conversing via Voice Transmission. Their voices were filled with disbelief. They could not figure out why Miao Lai Long would let the matter go. After all, Duan Ling Tian had crippled Yang Kong Ping, his brother-in-law!

Meanwhile, although Chen Xuan Ba, Zhao Dong Xing, and Qin Yu were relieved, they were confused as well. After all, they knew Miao Lai Long well. He was not someone who would let matters go so easily!

“Lord City Governor, Captain Duan is currently cultivating. I don’t think he’s aware of your arrival. Let me call him out,” Chen Xuan Ba said to Liu Feng Gu. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian’s tent, intending to rouse him from his cultivation.

However, Liu Feng Gu stopped him. “No, there’s no need for that! Since Captain Duan is cultivating, I won’t disturb him. Let me know when he’s done, and I’ll come and look for him again.” His seemingly flippant words stunned Chen Xuan Ba and the others.

Did the City Governor just say that there was no need to rouse Duan Ling Tian from his cultivation and to only notify him once Duan Ling Tian had come out of his closed-door cultivation? Moreover, he would personally make a trip here to see Duan Ling Tian? Neither Chen Xuan Ba nor Miao Lai Long received this kind of treatment. If the City Governor requested to see them, they would have to go to the City Governor’s estate after their cultivation ended!

“Yes!” Chen Xuan Ba replied immediately despite his shock. He was truly confused about why the City Governor was so courteous toward Duan Ling Tian.

When Liu Feng Gu was about to leave, Duan Ling Tian walked out of his tent. He instantly looked at Liu Feng Gu and said, “I have finished my cultivation.”

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to identify Liu Feng Gu since Liu Feng Gu was the only unfamiliar face around.

“City Governor,” Duan Ling Tian greeted in a casual manner. It was as though he was equal to the City Governor.

Li Feng Gu smiled and was about to respond to Duan Ling Tian when…

“How dare you!”

“How dare you act so rudely before Lord City Governor!”

The Black Dragon Army’s Captains, Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu, said in unison as they glared at Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, they only wanted to look good in front of Liu Feng Gu. They seemed to have forgotten how courteous Liu Feng Gu was to Duan Ling Tian.

Upon hearing their words, Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened.

At the same time, Liu Feng Gu’s expression changed as well. He barked, “How dare both of you reprimand Captain Duan!” He lifted his hand, releasing a majestic energy that hit Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu.

Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu who were unprepared were sent flying back, severely injured. Both of them threw up a mouthful of blood. An incredulous expression appeared on both wretched figures’ faces when they finally steadied their footings. They did not understand where they had gone wrong.

“W-what…” Chen Xuan Ba, Zhao Dong Xing, and Qin Yu were dumbfounded as well. What was happening? Previously, it had already shocked them that the City Governor was being so courteous to Duan Ling Tian. However, now, it seemed like the City Governor was… deferential toward Duan Ling Tian as well. What was the reason for this? They were truly baffled.

“Hmm?” Even Duan Ling Tian was bewildered. In fact, he was planning to attack Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu when they had reprimanded him. However, before he could act, Liu Feng Gu had already made a move. ‘This is our first time meeting. Why do I feel like he’s not only treating me politely, but he’s also taking care of me?’

After Liu Feng Gu punished Hu Ji and Chai Wen Yu, his anger was replaced by a smile as he turned to Duan Ling Tian. He asked politely, “Captain Duan, may I talk to you privately for a moment?”

“Of course.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he followed Liu Feng Gu and left the valley. He still could not figure out why Liu Feng Gu was so polite. ‘I’m sure I’ll find out once he speaks to me.’

…

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan Ba and the other high-ranking officers only regained their senses after both Liu Feng Gu and Duan Ling Tian had disappeared from their sight. They looked at each other in surprise, but none of them spoke at this moment.
