The War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

#223 Li Qing?

No matter what, Duan Ling Tian never thought that he would meet Pei San again, let alone on the main street of the inner city of the Imperial City.

Everything in this world is not constant!

Thinking back to when he was in a sorry state after he cut off Pei San's arm, Duan Ling Tian suddenly felt as if he wasn't even in the same era anymore.

He still remembered how he desperately spurred his horse to gallop to Victory City only to avoid the pursuit of the powerhouse followed by Pei San's side.

He could imagine how if the powerhouse that was followed by the Pei San party could catch up to him, he would definitely die by then!

Then, even when he stayed in Victory City for those few days, he still moved cautiously at every step, as he was extremely afraid of being caught.

Pei San at that time was a huge threat to him. Even if he was found by Pei San, Pei San would only need to say a word and his blood would splatter from the three-foot-long sword, and he would die on the spot!

One time, he was filled with fear towards Pei San's identity as the son of the Governor of Swallow Mountain District.

However, now …. Duan Ling Tian suddenly realized that when he met Pei San once again, other than being a little surprised, he did not feel anything else.

Maybe now he's standing at a different height.

Or maybe it's been too long.

“At last I found you!” Pei San gnashed his teeth, then he walked out of the carriage and looked at the young man riding on horseback with eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Pei San with a calm expression.

In the past, he might have been afraid of Pei San.

But now, Pei San and him were not on the same level, even as long as he wanted to, he said, he only needed to say a word and it would be enough to cause the Estate Governor of Swallow Mountain County to support Pei San to change ownership.

He was confident that as long as he told the Emperor, the Emperor would completely fulfill his request.

Even until he only needed to give the order and the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him would attack quickly to make Pei San's blood splatter from the three-foot-long sword, killing him on the spot.

But he didn't act that way, and he didn't even have any thoughts of taking issue with Pei San.

“Third Young Master, what's up?” Right at this moment, two more people walked in succession from inside the carriage and stood behind Pei San.

An old man and a young man.

The old man was clearly at the Nascent Soul Stage.

As for the young man….

“Li Qing?” Duan Ling Tian could not help but exclaim in a low voice. The young man who was currently standing behind Pei San was not someone else but rather Li Qing, who had left the Li Family many years ago.

He never imagined that after Li Qing left the Li Family, he would actually meet the Third Young Master of the Swallow Mountain County Governor Region.

Everything in this world is not constant!

Only when he heard Duan Ling Tian's voice did Li Qing look towards Duan Ling Tian, and with just one glance, did he, his face suddenly became grim as he hurriedly said to Pei San, “Third Young Master, it was precisely this person who crippled you. The arm of the day, it was him! Here it is!”

“Blood Enmity, do you think I still need you to tell me now?” Pei San slowly turned around and glanced at Li Qing, then a grin appeared at the corner of his mouth. “So it turns out Li Qing is your real name …. No wonder I was unable to investigate your background during these two years. Li Qing, you are truly capable, and you have really hidden yourself very well.”

“Third Young Master, I ..” Li Qing's gaze was complicated, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Did I make a mistake and get caught in the end?

“Huh! I'll deal with you later.” Pei San's voice was cold and indifferent, and his gaze then descended on Duan Ling Tian. “Two years ago, you immobilized my arm …. Today, I will make you pay with interest.”

“Oh?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently, “How will you make me pay him with interest?”

“I'll take your life!” Pei San's voice was filled with hatred and cruelty.

“Business!” The faces of the two old men in Valador Robes beside Duan Ling Tian sank, and they shouted in unison.

“Hmm?” Pei San frowned. Only now did he realize that the young man before him was not alone, and his gaze on Duan Ling Tian became even colder. “What? You think I, Pei San, won't be able to touch you just because you have some helpers?”

“Pei San.” Duan Ling Tian's gaze descended on Pei San, and he said indifferently, “You most clearly provoked trouble outside Triumph City that year …. Today, it could be considered fate that we could meet again. I don't want to fuss over that year's troubles with you, so let's stop right now!”

It's been two years. Moreover, he had not suffered any losses that year, so Duan Ling Tian did not want to bother with him anymore.

Now, Pei San wasn't on the same level as him anymore, so he didn't intend to play around.

Let everything from the past be blown by the wind….

However, this was only Duan Ling Tian's wishful thinking.

The corner of Pei San's mouth curved into a grin when he heard what Duan Ling Tian said. “You speak like this, is it because you are afraid? During these two years, there was no moment where I forgot the scene of you cutting off my arm …. I expect nothing but to tear your corpse into thousands of pieces, then burn your bones and scatter your ashes! Only like this can I vent hatred in my heart!”

“It's too late to regret now …. That year, if you obediently suffer the whip from my little sister Ru, the following events will not happen. So, even after you die today, it can only be blamed because you were too arrogant that year. You don't know who you can or can't hurt!”

“I, the son of the County Governor of Swallow Mountain County, is an existence that no ordinary person like you can disturb!” As he finished speaking, Pei San's voice was filled with arrogance and cruelty.

Li Qing stood behind Pei San, and the corner of his mouth formed a smile, as he felt that Duan Ling Tian would die on the spot today as well.

Although he did not know why Duan Ling Tian would appear in the Imperial City, as far as he was concerned, Duan Ling Tian would definitely die from meeting him, which was a rampage!

However, the expression of the old man behind Pei San was a little unnatural.

He noticed that after his Young Master said all this, the passersby who stopped to look from the side of the road all had expressions of disdain….

The son of the County Governor of Swallow Mountain County?

Ludicrous feelings appeared in the hearts of the pedestrians present.

At this moment, they had even forgotten to whisper in the discussion among themselves, as they focused their attention on seeing the development of the problem.

But their gazes when they saw Pei San had a trace of mischievous laughter leaping inside.

Pei San extended his hand to point at Duan Ling Tian, and his gaze was filled with bloodthirsty killing intent as he shouted loudly, “Grandfather Huai, I want him dead!”

However, Pei San quickly realized that the old man behind him remained motionless, as if he had not heard what Pei San said.

“Kakek Huai.” Pei San was stunned, and he turned to look at the old man behind him only you noticed that the old man's gaze was fixedly staring at the waist of the young man sitting on the tall horse.

And his gaze followed to go down there.

This view almost scared him ….

Embroidered Uniform Guard!

He had arrived in the Imperial City yesterday and spent the night in the outer city.

In a restaurant out of town, he had heard rumors about the Embroidered Uniform Guard and knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the most fearsome and most arrogant and domineering organization within the Imperial City at the moment…

Allegedly, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Ling Tian, was only 18 years old this year, but he had greatly accepted the help of the Emperor of the Red Sky Kingdom and became the Emperor's spokesperson.

Although he was far away in Swallow Mountain County, he had heard of ‘Duan Ling Tian’ and knew that he was the number 1 genius in Paladin Academy.

He had come to the Imperial City precisely because he intended to report to the Paladin Academy.

According to him, once he arrived at the Paladin Academy, he might have a chance to meet this legendary figure….

When he first heard about ‘Duan Ling Tian’ a few months ago, he had a trace of longing in his heart, as he was curious about what kind of figure ‘Duan Ling Tian’ was.

When he arrived at the Imperial City and found out about Duan Ling Tian's military exploits on the northwestern border battlefield, admiration even emerged from the bottom of his heart.

When he heard that Duan Ling Tian had become the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, carrying over ten Embroidered Uniform Guards, the, and directly forcing his way into the encampment of the City Guards Army to kill the Commander of the City Guards Army, Xue Lu, he felt his blood boiling. .

For that moment, he had practically taken Duan Ling Tian as his idol.

However, now.

“You …. You are that Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, Duan Ling Tian?” Pei San took a deep breath, and he looked at Duan Ling Tian while keeping a last trace of hope in his heart. At this moment, he was very hopeful that Duan Ling Tian would deny it.

“What do you think?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Pei San with a calm expression as he responded rhetorically.

“This Swallow Mountain County Governor's Son finally recognized Commander Duan!”

“Amazing joke! Actually threatening to tear Commander Duan's corpse into thousands of pieces and then burn his bones and spread his ashes.”.

“Huh! He was only the son of the Governor of Mount Swallow County; even if the Governor of Mount Swallow County personally came here today, he still would not dare to be so presumptuous before Commander Duan. This Pei San is really looking for death!”

“Per San has the expression of having gone through a lot of bitterness and thirst for revenge before. But now he instead has a face full of terror and distrust.”

“It's normal! After all, he recognized Commander Duan now. If he still dared to act like before, then he really is a fool!”

…

The crowd of people standing by the roadside to watch excitedly discussed amongst themselves and unintentionally suppressed their voices.

“Duan …. Commander Duan?” Pei San's body trembled and his face was deathly pale. He's dumbfounded.

He really confirmed it!

He would have never imagined that the person he had been so desperate to kill for the past two years was actually ‘Duan Ling Tian!’

The hatred in his heart was completely shattered at this moment, and all that remained was a sense of loss and helplessness.

Exactly as the people around him had said, with Duan Ling Tian's current status and influence, not to mention him, not even his father, the Governor of Swallow Mountain County County County, had to treat Duan Ling Tian with respect.

A trace of bitterness appeared on the face of the old man behind Pei San.

This young man was the purple-clothed youth he had chased into Triumph City that year?

The young man had already risen to such heights in just two years …. The height that even he could only see.

“No...No...No way! Impossible!” Li Qing stood behind Pei San and shook his head nonstop, as he was unwilling to believe all of this was true.

The Commandant of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Duan Ling Tian?

He heard about Duan Ling Tian whose name was scattered and stirred up a lot of discussion within the Red Sky Kingdom these past few months.

But he never linked the rumors of ‘Duan Ling Tian’ with his arch-nemesis, ‘Duan Ling Tian’….

As far as he was concerned, his nemesis ‘Duan Ling Tian’ was just a disciple with another surname of the Branch Family under the Aurora City Li Clan.

Whereas the unrivalled genius ‘Duan Ling Tian’ of the rumors was not a direct descendant of the Duan Clan of the Imperial City!

In the past, he thought the two only had the same name.

After all, the Old Red Sky Kingdom was huge, and hence it was not strange for people of the same name to appear.
