Chapter 2772: Duan Ling Tian?!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Floating Image Pearl!” After Duan Ling Tian claimed ownership of the Spatial Ring that belonged to Shi Lei, the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, he discovered a few Floating Image Pearl in it. He chose one of them based on the mirror images shown.
The mirror images were not long, but it clearly showed Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s appearance. Huan’er was not wearing a hat or a veil so her beautiful face that made the surroundings paled in comparison was on full display.
‘So that’s why the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom kept staring at Huan’er even though her face is concealed. As it turns out, he has already seen her face through the Floating Image Pearl that Nangong Li had recorded.’
As soon as Shi Lei, the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, showed up, he had been blatantly staring at Huan’er. This caused Duan Ling Tian to feel that something was amiss. If it were Nangong Li, he would not have been surprised since Nangong Li had seen Huan’er’s appearance before. In his opinion, even if Nangong Li had told Shi Lei about Huan’er’s beauty, Shi Lei still would not have lost all his control since Shi Lei had not seen Huan’er true appearance. In the end, he came to the conclusion that Shi Lei must have seen Huan’er’s face through other methods such as a Floating Image Celestial Talisman or a Floating Image Pearl. Since the Floating Celestial Talisman could only be used once, Duan Ling Tian suspected Nangong Li must have used a Floating Image Pearl to capture Huan’er’s real appearance before he escaped with the Drifting Light and Shadow Talisman. As it turned out, his speculation was right.
‘Fortunately, the Floating Image Pearl can’t be duplicated. Otherwise, if the recording is spread, it’d cause a lot of trouble,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he put the Spatial Ring away. He was unaware that currently, Huan’er’s true appearance had spread in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom in the form of images. The citizens of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom had all seen Huan’er’s fairy-like appearance.
Bang!
Before the crowd regained their senses after Huan’er killed the three men from the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, Qiu Ling and the old man, a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and the subordinate of Chen Bo Tao, the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom, had collided with one another. Both of them flew backward and returned to their masters’ sides.
The speed and distance they returned to their masters were about the same, indicating their strength was on par with each other. They stopped fighting since there was no longer any reason to fight. After all, the three people from the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom had died and their strength was evenly matched.
“Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, we’re evenly matched,” the old man said in a low voice after he returned to Chen Bo Tao’s side. His expression was rather sour since he had confidently declared he would be able to defeat Qiu Ling, the heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, next to Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Clearly, his confidence was unfounded since he could not defeat Qiu Ling.
On the other hand, when Qiu Ling returned to Long Fei Yun’s side, he remained silent. He only looked at the old man standing behind Chen Bo Tao alertly, as though the old man might suddenly attack again.
“Long Fei Yun, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky to find such a strong powerhouse,” Chen Bo Tao said in a low voice as he looked at Long Fei Yun.
“Yes, it’s much better compared to you who still relies on your father,” Long Fei Yun said tonelessly. Despite the indifferent tone, he was clearly mocking Chen Bo Tao. After all, the old man was given to Chen Bo Tao by his father, the Emperor of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom, to protect him.
Upon hearing Long Fei Yun’s words, the onlookers began to furtively discuss among themselves.
“Although I’ve heard that the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom has found a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to stay by his side, I assumed the powerhouse is just average. I didn’t expect him to be so strong.”
“Me too! It’s said that the old man by the side of the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom is one of the top three heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the Imperial family of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom.”
“Even then, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s man is a match for such a person.”
It was clear the onlookers thought Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, had a good eye for talent and was superior to Chen Bo Tao, the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom!
When Chen Bo Tao heard the discussion in his surroundings that compared him to Long Fei Yun, his expression turned unsightly. He looked at Long Fei Yun dismissively before he shifted his attention to Duan Ling Tian. He had assumed Duan Ling Tian was weak and easily bullied so he asked in a rather rude tone, “Who are you? How dare you let someone kill my cousin!”
Faced with Chen Bo Tao’s question, Duan Ling Tian only ignored him.
The atmosphere turned tense, and Chen Bo Tao’s expression grew even more unsightly.
Duan Ling Tian turned to smile at Huan’er and said, “Huan’er, let’s continue shopping.” After he finished speaking, he did not even deign to spare Chen Bo Tao a glance before he led Huan’er away. Even Huan’er did not spare a glance at Chen Bo Tao.
Upon seeing this, Long Fei Yun and Qiu Ling followed suit. However, before Long Fei Yun left, he looked at Chen Bo Tao meaningfully and said, “Chen Bo Tao, there are some people whom you can’t afford to offend.”
Chen Bo Tao was furious. His complexion turned red as his body trembled. However, since he had seen how strong Qiu Ling was and he was unsure if Duan Ling Tian had a powerful background, he could only suppress his anger. After all, Qiu Ling could easily suppress the old man by his side.
The onlookers only regained their senses when Duan Ling Tian and the others disappeared from sight. They were shocked and in disbelief.
“Who’s that purple-clad young man?!”
“The Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom seems very courteous toward the purple-clad young man. Before he left, he even told the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom that the purple-clad young man is not someone the ninth prince could afford to offend…”
“You’re right!”
Many of the onlookers were curious about Duan Ling Tian.
“Wasn’t the purple-clad young man in King Qin’s Mansion in our Cloudy Rock Celestial Mansion? He’s Duan Ling Tian, right? Why’s he with the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?” a young man muttered, clearly perplexed. He was none other than Chu Yan, the son of the County Governor of Soaring Wind County. He was also the first runner up for the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties held in King Qin’s Mansion.
The Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom had brought 30 young powerhouses under the age of 100 to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest. Chu Yan and the second runner up of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, Yang Jin from Fair Mountain County, were among the 30 representatives from the King Qin’s Mansion. Led by the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, they had come to the Wasteland with the people from King Qin’s Mansion.
‘Who’s the white-clad woman who seems to listen to every word Duan Ling Tian says? She’s so strong that she easily killed the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom and his two subordinates! Moreover, she killed them in front of the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom who’s rumored to be a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial! It’s likely that the white-clad woman is an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!’ Chu Yan thought to himself.
Chu Yan was, naturally, familiar with Duan Ling Tian. If it were not for Duan Ling Tian showing up nearing the end of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, he would have been the winner. He was not resentful since he knew Duan Ling Tian was much stronger than him. After the competition, Duan Ling Tian had fled and was nowhere to be found. He had found it a pity that Duan Ling Tian would not be able to join the Wasteland Grand Contest since he was certain Duan Ling Tian would do very well in the Wasteland Grand Contest. It was likely that Duan Ling Tian would be selected to join one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
‘Who knew I’d run into Duan Ling Tian when I came out for fresh hair…’ Chu Yan thought to himself. After that, he made his way to the residence that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had prepared for the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. He wanted to tell Qin Yu, who had also come to Tai Yi City, about his encounter with Duan Ling Tian.
…
Meanwhile, there was a huge commotion in the residence occupied by the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom in Tai Yi City.
“The Sixth Prince is dead!!” Someone had discovered that the Soul Pearl of the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom had shattered.
