War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Mother, it’s him!” Liu Zuo Lin replied to his mother as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. All of a sudden, he was no longer timid as before. He was now like a rabid dog that could not wait to pounce at Duan Ling Tian and sink his teeth into Duan Ling Tian.

Liu Zuo Lin’s mother, Pang Yuan, turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent shining in her eyes as soon as she heard Liu Zuo Lin’s words. The angry expression on her face turned pitiful when she turned to look at the old man who had come with her. “Eldest uncle.”

At this moment, Liu Qian greeted the old man, “Elder Pang Bing.” He was not surprised by the old man’s presence since his sister-in-law was the old man’s niece.

The old man was the head elder of the inner-estate elders in the County Governor’s estate in Nine Specter County. He was widely regarded as the strongest powerhouse below Great Overarching Golden Celestials in Nine Specters County. His strength was, naturally, leaps and bounds ahead of Liu Qian and Zheng Qiu who were also inner-estate elders in the County Governor’s estate.

“So, you’re the brat who wants to kill my grandnephew?” Pang Bing looked at Duan Ling Tian. His eyes looked clear and calm, but upon closer inspection, one would be able to see the killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Pang Bing and said in a light tone, “Pang Bing, heed my advice. It’s best that you don’t interfere with this matter lest you get the Pang clan into trouble.” His eyes were piercing when he spoke. As soon as Liu Qian greeted the old man, he had already known Pang Bing was the head elder in the County Governor’s estate. Since Pang Bing was the head elder, he was definitely stronger than Zheng Qiu.

Pang Bing was taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Soon after, his face flushed red in anger as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. “How dare you brag in front of me!” He looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a predator looking at its prey. An imposing energy surged from his body and swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, Liu Qian, one of the Supreme Elders in Liu clan and an inner-estate elder in the County Governor’s estate, asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?” His expression was dark when he spoke. He had spoken to Liu Dong Ping, his brother, through Voice Transmission and learned about the details of the matter. He had learned that his good friend, Liu Qing, a Supreme Elder of the Liu clan and a primitive Celestial Alchemist, had no time to react at all when the purple-clad young man had attacked. Based on this, he was quite certain the purple-clad young man was a peak Violet Sun Golden Celestial at the very least.

“Who I am isn’t important,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently, “As long as the Liu Clan kills Liu Zuo Lin and gives me 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones, I’ll let go of this matter. I believe you’re a wise man, Elder Liu Qian,”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

“This brat is too audacious!”

“Not only does he want us to give him 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones, but he even wants Young Master Lin dead?”

“100,000 prominent Celestial Stones? I’m afraid even if we give up all the Celestial Stones we own, we still don’t have that many Celestial Stones, right?

“Yes. If we want to gather this many Celestial Stones, we would have to sell a few of our clan’s businesses.”

“Who is he? Even with Elder Liu Qian and Elder Pang Bing who’re inner-estate elders from the County Governor’s estate here, he still dares to act so boldly! Isn’t he afraid of the County Governor’s estate in Nine Specters County?”

The clan members from the Liu clan were puzzled. They could not figure out why the purple-clad young man was so bold.

“Y-you…” Liu Qin was furious upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. His Celestial Origin Energy began to surge from his body like a flame. A wailing sound similar to that of a ghost or wolf began to ring in the air.

“Elder Pang Bing, you’re free to meddle if that’s what you want. However, as soon as you make a move, you’ll also have to compensate me with 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones if you want me to let the matter go later… It’s best you think it over before you act,” Duan Ling Tian said with a pointed gaze.

Pang Bing who had recovered from his shock earlier managed to maintain his composure this time around. A hint of wariness and apprehension could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “Who are you?!”

Duan Ling Tian smiled and replied, “I’m a nobody in comparison to Elder Pang Bing…” Then, he turned to Liu Zuo Lin and said with a sinister smile on his face, “Liu Zuo Lin, do you think you’re safe just because Elder Pang Bing and Elder Liu Qian are here?”

Liu Zuo Lin’s expression darkened. He did not expect the purple-clad young man was still able to remain calm at this moment. Was it possible that the purple-clad young man really did have an extraordinary background?

At this moment, Pang Yuan glared at Duan Ling Tian before she said to Pang Bing, “Eldest uncle, this brat must be putting up a front and trying to call our bluff… He’s trying to fool you.”

“That’s possible.” Pang Bing nodded slightly and looked at Duan Ling Tian once again. “However, Yuan’er, this matter is the Liu clan’s matter after all. If they can resolve this, there’s no need for me to step in,” Based on his words, it was clear he would not act before the Liu clan took action.

Upon hearing Pang Bing’s words, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Sure enough, the more experience once has, the wiser one becomes…’ He knew Pang Bing only wanted to see if the Liu clan could handle him before Pang Bing made a move. Since Liu Qian had returned, Pang Bing would let Liu Qian deal with this matter. If Liu Qian could resolve this matter, then, there would be no need for Pang Bing to act. However, if Liu Qian failed, then, it would mean it would be beyond Pang Bing’s capability to solve this matter as well. This way, Pang Bing would be able to smoothly extricate himself out of this situation and avoid offending Duan Ling Tian.

Pang Yuan wanted to continue persuading Pang Bing, but she no longer continued when she saw Pang Bing shaking his head at her. Her eyes turned even colder when she turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian. It was only natural since Duan Ling Tian wanted to take her son’s life away. She did not care for the reason why Duan Ling Tian wanted her son’s life. Nothing was more important to her than her son. It did not matter if tens of millions of people died as long as her son lived.

“Very well!” Liu Qian glared at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Since you’re so confident, let me see your techniques. I hope your techniques and skills match your confidence!” He flew out as soon as he finished speaking.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Liu Qian took his Celestial Weapon out. It was a short sword that was as thin as a cicada’s wings. As it slashed out, a buzzing noise could be heard in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Liu Qian seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind as he charged at Duan Ling Tian. Afterimages of his sword qi could be seen in his wake.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening explosion rang in the air as Liu Qian’s Celestial Origin Energy increased rapidly. In just a second, a gigantic figure that was 100 feet tall appeared and charged out along with Liu Qian. Its footsteps made the ground quake.

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he saw Liu Qian and his sword qi merging with the humanoid behemoth. It did not take long before the sword qi and behemoth suddenly disappeared. Following that, Liu Qian began to grow at a rapid speed. Liu Qian who was 1.8 meters tall suddenly grew to about 100 feet tall. His gigantic figure blocked the sunlight. After checking with his Divine Consciousness, he discovered it was not an illusion. Liu Qian had truly grown bigger despite how impossible it might seem.

“How remarkable!” Duan Ling Tian knew Liu Qian had to have used a Celestial Method or Divine Ability in order to grow so big.

“Elder Liu Qian is using the Hundred Foot Golden Body?”

“This Celestial Method or Divine Ability that allows one to grow ten times bigger isn’t easy to master!”

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, heard the conversation in his surroundings.
