Chapter 2614 The Crystal Clearance Tactic

When Duan Ling Tian returned to the Black Dragon Army’s camp, he overheard the soldiers discussing him. Their topic of discussion was, naturally, about the incident at Lai Feng Restaurant in b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City. Many of them were worried about his safety since most of them were convinced Miao Lai Long, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, would not let him off so easily.

‘Miao Lai Long won’t let me off the hook so easily? He doesn’t have the guts!’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he smiled. After that, he returned to his tent. He knew those people were just worried about his safety due to the strength he had displayed. After all, with his strength, he would be able to help them become stronger than the Silverwyrm Army. In other words, he was valuable to the Black Dragon Army. Nevertheless, he still felt touched.

‘Crystal Clearance Tactic.’ After Duan Ling Tian returned to his tent, he took out a jade token. It was the jade token where Miao Lai Long had recorded the yellow-grade cultivation method under his threat.

With some time, Duan Ling Tian was confident he would be able to master it completely. ‘A graded cultivation method from a Devata Realm! How exciting!’ He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement before he began to cultivate accordingly.

Since Duan Ling Tian had been cultivating using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique all these while, he needed some time to adapt to the Crystal Clearance Tactic. After that, he would be able to stabilize his Celestial Origin Energy. He did not waste any time and closed his eyes to immerse himself in cultivating the Crystal Clearance Tactic, oblivious to what was happening outside.

Duan Ling Tian did not cultivate for long before the voice of Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, rang in his ears. “Captain Duan, I heard about what you did in Lai Feng Restaurant. I think you went a little too far. Don’t you think we should discuss how we should deal with Miao Lai Long since there’s no doubt he’s going to make a trip here to seek revenge? Moreover, I’m sure he’ll report it to the City Governor as well.”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly annoyed by the interruption. After all, he had just immersed himself in his cultivation and had begun to familiarize himself with the cultivation method before he was interrupted by Chen Xuan Ba. Therefore, he said impatiently, “Commander, I’m at a critical stage of my cultivation. Please don’t disturb me until Miao Lai Long comes.”

Upon hearing these words, Chen Xuan Ba was stunned speechless. He only regained his senses after a while. He felt as though he was more anxious than the culprit. ‘I really don’t know what to think of Captain Duan.’ However, since Duan Ling Tian had already stated he was at a critical juncture of his cultivation, he no longer disturbed Duan Ling Tian.

Chen Xuan Ba continued thinking to himself, ‘Miao Lai Long should’ve already arrived here by now… Is it possible that he has gone to the City Governor’s estate instead?’ Naturally, not even in his wildest dreams would he expect that Miao Lai Long had already been defeated by Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, Miao Lai Long was even forced to hand over the yellow-grade cultivation method.

In the Silverwyrm Army’s camp.

As soon as Miao Lai Long returned to his tent, Miao Lai Feng rose to her feet immediately. Her narrowed eyes looked even smaller amid her chubby face. A hint of antic.i.p.ation could be heard in her voice as she said, “Brother, why are you back so soon? How did it go? Did you capture Captain Duan of the Black Dragon Army?”

Miao Lai Long’s expression darkened and a hint of resentment could be seen in his eyes when Miao Lai Feng mentioned Duan Ling Tian.

Seeing this, Miao Lai Feng could tell something was amiss. She asked tentatively, “Brother, w-what happened to you?”

“Do you know who I met as soon as I left the Silverwyrm Army’s camp?” Miao Lai Long asked as he looked at Miao Lai Feng.

“Who did you meet?” Miao Lai Feng was startled. She knew that her brother would not ask such a question without a reason.

“Duan Ling Tian! He intentionally blocked my path on the route we must pa.s.s to head to the Black Dragon Army’s camp!” Miao Lai Feng said as his eyes flashed with fury.

“What? Duan Ling Tian intentionally blocked your path? Is he… Is he seeking death?” Miao Lai Feng was shocked.

“Seeking death? Your brother almost didn’t make it back alive…” Miao Lai Long said self-mockingly as he shook his head.

“D-did he get a helper? Is it Commander Chen of the Black Dragon Army?” Miao Lai Feng’s expression changed drastically.

“He didn’t have a helper. He came alone.” Miao Lai Long shook his head as fear flashed in the depths of his eyes. He smiled bitterly as he said, “If he didn’t master the technique that could s.n.a.t.c.h one’s Celestial Weapon away, I’m definitely stronger than him. However, with that technique, I’m much weaker in comparison. You should know that even the slightest difference in strength matters when it comes to a duel at my level! It’s enough to determine the winner.”

“What? H-he’s stronger than you?” Miao Lai Feng’s huge and fat body trembled as a horrified and disbelieving expression appeared on her face. It was obvious she had difficulty accepting this fact.

“Yes.” Miao Lai Long nodded.

“You’re no match for him, but are we really just going to let him go?” Miao Lai Feng could not accept this at all. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes gleamed with anger as she said, “Brother, you said he’s only slightly stronger than you. This means he’s weaker than our City Governor. Brother, why don’t you speak to Lord City Governor? I don’t believe he’s a match for Lord City Governor!” A malicious expression appeared on her face as she spoke and the hint of anger in her eyes intensified as well.

“No!” Miao Lai Long rejected her suggestion without a second thought.

“Why? Are we really just going to let him go? Brother, I’m unhappy! I’m really unresigned!” Miao Lai Feng’s expression changed to a pitiful one.

“Lai Feng, I understand how you feel. However, I can’t go to Lord City Governor. If I do that, Duan Ling Tian might reveal the matter where I taught him the yellow-grade cultivation method. At that time, I’ll be finished! You should know that imparting that cultivation method without permission will only result in death!” Miao Lai Long said with a wry smile.

“Brother, y-you… Why did you teach him that method?” Miao Lai Feng’s expression changed again.

“I had no choice. He would kill me if I didn’t. After all, he just ascended not too long ago. At most, he would just have to leave b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City and the Nine Specters County. He has no attachments in the Spirit Overarching Heaven,” Miao Lai Long said.

“He has mastered extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, why did he want a graded cultivation method?” Miao Lai Feng was confused. She could not figure out why Duan Ling Tian would force her brother to teach him that cultivation method.

“I think he has his own graded cultivation method. Moreover, it’s very likely to be higher-grade than the Crystal Clearance Tactic. Perhaps, it’s so that he can threaten me with it. After all, I can’t go to Lord City Governor now because of this matter,” Miao Lai Long speculated. He was convinced his speculation was correct.

“Brother, I’m still unhappy,” Miao Lai Feng said in a weaker tone that was laden with unwillingness. Based on the current situation, it seemed like she would not be able to avenge her husband!

“Lai Feng, I know you’re unhappy. I’m unhappy as well. Be patient for now. I’ll look for other chances to kill him. Even if I can’t kill him, I can kill him using somebody else’s hand!” Miao Lai Long said rea.s.suringly. A hint of killing intent could be seen in his eyes when he spoke.

Everyone in b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City and the Black Dragon Army’s camp were certain Miao Lai Long, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, would not let Duan Ling Tian go after Duan Ling Tian had crippled Yang Kong Ping, his brother-in-law and Captain of the Black Dragon Army. The soldiers from the Black Dragon Army were worried about Duan Ling Tian’s safety while the people of b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City were waiting to watch a show. However, as time pa.s.sed, there were no movements from the Silverwyrm Army at all. It seemed as though nothing had happened. Even after a month had pa.s.sed, there were no signs that Miao Lai Long was going to avenge his crippled brother-in-law.

“W-what’s happening?”

“This doesn’t seem like Commander Miao’s style of doing things!”

“Is it possible that Commander Miao is in closed-door cultivation? Otherwise, how can there be no movements from him?”

The entire b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City was filled with similar discussions.

In the main hall of the City Governor’s estate in the b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City.

“Lai Long, people in the city are saying you’re in closed-door cultivation. However, I know you. With what happened, even if you’re in closed-door cultivation, you would still come out to help your sister!” Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of b.l.o.o.d.y Specter City, said as he looked at Miao Lai Long who was seated below. It was clear he knew Miao Lai Long very well.

Upon hearing this, Miao Lai Long only smiled awkwardly.

“Did you come here just to hand over the Silverwyrm Army’s Celestial Stones?” Liu Feng Gu asked again.
