Chapter 2067: A Domineering Duan Ling Tian!

Clarity City was the name of the city Duan Ling Tian was currently in. It was a small city located near the southern border of the Western Region.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had familiarized himself with the social climate of the city based on the conversations in his surroundings. In Clarity City, excluding the alliance of sectless cultivators, there were three great clans. The three great clans were the Feng Clan, the Qiu Clan, and the Dongfang Clan. All of them were third-rate forces in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Out of the three clans, the Feng Clan was the strongest!

‘Qiu Mu Qing… Could she be from the Qiu Clan?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he heard Dongfang Zhu’s arrogant words. He had completely ignored Dongfang Zhu.

“Brat, did you hear what I said?” Dongfang Zhu was infuriated when he saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring him. His eyes flashed coldly as though he was about to attack Duan Ling Tian.

He was the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan after all. When had he ever been slighted in Clarity City?

However, Duan Ling Tian kept ignoring him. Instead, he turned to look at Qiu Mu Qing who was sitting next to him and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you should be the only daughter of the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, right?”

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had heard the customers in the restaurant talking about the Qiu Clan. They had mentioned the Qiu Clan had a Young Miss, but they did not mention her name.

Those people had spoken about the current situation in Clarity City as well. Although the three clans had a major influence in Clarity City, the Feng Clan was undoubtedly the strongest. The remaining two clans had to join forces if they wanted to defeat the Feng Clan.

The two clans, the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan, had been trying to find ways to secure their ties to each other. A marriage alliance would definitely achieve that.

Apparently, the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan intended to marry his only daughter off to the Young Master of Dongfang Clan. However, rumor had it that the Young Miss of Qiu Clan was not interested in the Young Master of Dongfang Clan. Due to this reason, the matter of marriage had dragged on for a long time.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not make the connection. After thinking about it, he figured the white-robed girl sitting next to him and the young man sitting opposite him had to be the two main characters of the customers’ conversations.

Duan Ling Tian had closed the distance between him and Qiu Mu Qing when he turned to speak to her.

Qiu Mu Qing’s cheeks reddened immediately when she felt Duan Ling Tian’s hot breath on her. She asked in surprise, “You… Do you know me?”

“No, I dont. I’m just guessing.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head.

Duan Ling Tian realized he had misunderstood the young girl. She was probably out with Dongfang Zhu not on her own free will. Her clan had probably forced her to go on this outing in hopes that feelings would grow between her and Dongfang Zhu.

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure this out. It made sense why Qiu Mu Qing was going to have a meal with Dongfang Zhu even though she clearly despised him.

“Just guessing?” Qiu Mu Qing was slightly surprised but she did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words. She had a favorable impression of this extraordinary man, and she could tell he did not say that to attract her attention.

“I heard some scum from the Dongfang Clan is forcing himself on you. Based on his words, I managed to guess what’s happening,” Duan Ling Tian responded, not caring about the consequences of his words.

When Qiu Mu Qing heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, she was momentarily stunned before she began to laugh. When she laughed, her eyes were the shape of a crescent moon. She looked even more attractive when she was laughing.

Duan Ling Tian fell into a daze when he saw this!

At this moment, Qiu Mu Qing’s beauty was comparable to Ke’er and Li Fei’s beauty.

When Qiu Mu Qing saw the dazed expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, her cheeks reddened again. She appeared like a shy young girl.

…

Scum?

Dongfang Zhu who was seated across Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He was not an idiot. He knew Duan Ling Tian was referring to him as scum. He did not expect there would be someone in Clarity City who dared to speak about him this way, in front of him no less!

Dongfang Zhu was already angry when he regained his senses. However, when he saw the shy expression on Qiu Mu Qing’s face, he became even angrier. It was like adding fuel to fire.

Despite taking a few deep breaths, Dongfang Zhu could not contain his anger.

“Brat, you’re seeking death!” Dongfang Zhu said angrily as he sprung up from the bench. He no longer said anything as he clenched his right fist that was shrouded with Saint Energy and attempted to punch Duan Ling Tian.

“Watch out!” Qiu Mu Qing cried out immediately. Her expression had changed when she saw Dongfang Zhu attacking Duan Ling Tian. She stood up in a hurry, intending to stop Dongfang Zhu. However, there was nothing she could do in such a short time since her strength was on par with Dongfang Zhu.

Qiu Mu Qing was still anxious when she heard the crisp sound of a slap. Following that, a strong gust of wind blew in the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s table became the center of attention.

“Eh? Isn’t that Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan?”

“The white-robed girl standing opposite to him is Qiu Mu Qing, the Young Miss of Qiu Clan, right?”

“She’s Qiu Mu Qing? She’s indeed worthy of being praised as the most beautiful woman in Clarity City. She’s truly gorgeous!”

“Although Dongfang Clan’s Second Young Master is quite good looking, he doesn’t seem compatible with Young Miss Qiu in terms of appearance and bearing!”

“I agree! However, the purple-clad young man standing next to Young Miss Qiu is much more handsome and has better bearing than the Dongfang Clan’s Second Young Master… They look like a match made in heaven when they stand next to each other!”

“I think Young Miss Qiu suits the purple-clad young man better as well.”

“What are they doing? Fighting for the girl’s favor?”

The customers in the restaurant began to discuss among themselves. They did not seem to care about Dongfang Zhu at all as they spoke freely.

In Clarity City, apart from the three great clans, the sectless cultivators had their own alliance. For this reason, most people were not afraid the Dongfang Clan would seek revenge from them over such a small matter.

Upon hearing the conversations of the customers, Qiu Mu Qing began to blush. She snuck a peek at Duan Ling Tian. She sighed in relief when she realized Duan Ling Tian was not looking at her.

‘He’s so strong?’ Qiu Mu Qing’s eyes shone when she saw Duan Ling Tian grabbing Dongfang Zhu’s hand. It seemed as though he was only lightly grabbing his hand, but Dongfang Zhu seemed to be in so much pain that his body even began to tremble.

“The purple-clad young man seems very powerful!”

“Yes. Dongfang Zhu is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage at least. However, he seems as weak as a three-year-old in front of the purple-clad young man.”

“There’s nothing special about the Second Young Master of the Dongfang Clan after all!”

“He wants to marry the most beautiful woman in Clarity City with that strength? In his dreams! In my opinion, only talented young men like the purple-clad young man are qualified to marry Clarity City’s most beautiful woman!”

“I agree.”

The customers continued to discuss among themselves when they saw how helpless Dongfang Zhu was in front of Duan Ling Tian.

They were all praising Duan Ling Tian and even said only someone like Duan Ling Tian was worthy of marrying the most beautiful woman in Clarity City!

When Dongfang Zhu heard the conversations in his surroundings, he turned red with anger. His face was already red from the pain radiating from his hand.

“I don’t know who you are, but it’s best if you let go of me right now. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!” Dongfang Zhu roared threateningly as he struggled.

“Today will be the day I die?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly when he heard Dongfang Zhu’s words. A sneer appeared on his face.

Duan Ling Tian began to speak to Elder Huo who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, “Elder Huo, help me devour his Innate Spiritual Root!”

“In front of so many people?” Elder Huo was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Don’t worry! I can easily defeat the strongest person in this city with my strength!” Duan Ling Tian said domineeringly. He was very confident!

Even the Feng Clan that was the strongest force in Clarity City was only a third-rate force.

In third-rate forces, there were only a handful of people whose cultivation base was above the Saint Celestial Stage. Let alone powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, they did not even have powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or below.

That was why Duan Ling Tian felt he had nothing to fear. Moreover, he was ranked 421st on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Although one could say it was all due to the Jasper Celestial Sword, the sword was still part of his strength.

“Let’s begin.” Elder Huo no longer hesitated when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Soon after, Elder Huo said, “He only possesses a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.”

“That’s fine. Even mosquitos have some meat! Every bit counts,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently. Then, he cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, as everyone looked on. Although Dongfang Zhu was still conscious, Duan Ling Tian proceeded to devour his Innate Spiritual Root!
