War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Fei nodded and left the Nian clan’s auction house.

Meanwhile, Long Qing Yun looked at the person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house with a darkened expression and asked, “What’s all this? What happened? Why does it seem like my thirteenth brother has befriended the purple-clad young man?” He did not expect the purple-clad young man would associate himself with members of the Imperial families like him and his thirteenth brother since the purple-clad young man had an extraordinary background. However, it seemed like his thirteenth brother had managed to befriend the purple-clad young man. This gave him a sense of crisis even though a sect outside of the Wasteland, technically, would not be able to interfere in the matters of the inheritance of the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom since they were ruled by the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. However, nobody knew if the sect the purple-clad young man belonged to was stronger than the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. He feared the purple-clad young man had a high-rank in a sect that was stronger than the Martial Dragon Celestial Kingdom. If that was the case, it would not be a problem for the purple-clad young man’s sect to pressure the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect to interfere with the inheritance of the throne in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.

“Your Highness, I… I’m unaware of this as well…” the person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house said earnestly, “However, I think the thirteenth prince attended the auction today because of the purple-clad young man.”

Long Qing Yun scoffed before he coldly said, “Do I need you to tell me that? That man even told thirteenth brother his surname. It seems like they get along quite well…” He thought to himself, ‘Based on what I know, the man refused to disclose his name to fourth brother previously. Maybe I should talk to fourth brother about this.’

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and the other two men finally arrived in the Fleeting Time Inn.

As they approached the lobby of the Fleeting Time Inn, Long Fei Yun said, “Brother Duan, we’ll wait for you and your friend here.” He was tactful and had no intention of following Duan Ling Tian back to the room since he knew Duan Ling Tian’s friend was a woman. It would be inappropriate for him to make a sudden appearance.

This worked in Duan Ling Tian’s favor as well. After all, if Long Fei Yun came with him, Qiu Ling would definitely follow. Since Qiu Ling was a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he might notice the unusual flow of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Huan’er’s room since she was cultivating. A Divine Crystal would only appear once in more than 1,000 years in Devata Realms. He did not want anyone to find out about Huan’er and the Divine Crystal.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the courtyard, he sent a Voice Transmission. “Huan’er.”

Huan’er quickly woke up from her cultivation since she was not in closed-door cultivation. After she put the Divine Crystal away and absorbed the seemingly-liquified Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the room, Duan Ling Tian cautiously entered the room. He had to be cautious when it came to the Divine Crystal after all.

“Brother Ling Tian, are we leaving? Did that lady send men to look for trouble with us?” Huan’er asked as her eyes gleamed coldly. Her thin white robes fluttered in the air, slightly revealing her slender and graceful figure.

Duan Ling Tian had to take deep breaths to suppress the burning desire that had involuntarily awakened. Then, he shook his head and said, “No, we’re just moving to a new place. The new place is bigger and more comfortable.”

“Is it more interesting?” Huan’er asked excitedly as the coldness in her eyes gradually disappeared.

“Yes, it’s more interesting.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “However, before we leave, you’ll have to put on your hat and veil…”

“Alright, alright, I know,” Huan’er said. Although she was reluctant, she still obediently listened to him.

Although Huan’er’s beautiful face was hidden, her slender figure was enough to cause men to commit crimes.

Long Fei Yun fell into a daze when he saw Huan’er’s graceful figure. As the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, he had seen many beautiful women in his life, but none could compare to Huan’er’s beautiful figure. However, he quickly regained his senses and averted his eyes. Although Duan Ling Tian did not say anything about their relationship, he could tell Duan Ling Tian and the woman’s relationship was not simple based on their interactions. Therefore, he did not dare to act recklessly. Moreover, he knew the lady was no weakling. She had effortlessly killed an elder of the Zhou clan who was an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. He sent a Voice Transmission to Qiu Ling, prompting Qiu Ling to investigate Huan’er. “Qiu Ling, previously Brother Duan told fourth brother that the woman is younger than 100 years old…”

Before Long Fei Yun finished speaking, a scoff rang in the air. It was from Huan’er. At the same time, waves and waves of freezing energy rippled out of her as it swept toward Qiu Ling who was standing next to Long Fei Yun.

Qiu Ling immediately mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy to nullify her attack. At the same time, he sent a Voice Transmission to Long Fei Yun. “She discovered my Divine Consciousness… There’s no doubt she’s younger than 100 years old. Moreover, she has to be a profound-rank Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial at least!” He had to focus on nullifying Huan’er’s attack even if he was a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial because he had sustained injuries from his battle earlier with the seventh prince’s subordinate. The battle had greatly depleted his strength that he was currently no better than an ordinary earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

‘A profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who’s younger than 100 years old?’ Long Fei Yun was thoroughly shocked. How was it possible for someone like that to come to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom? Let alone a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, in the past 10,000 years in the Wasteland, there were only a handful of profound-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than 100 years old, and one earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial younger than 100 years old. In the entire history of the Wasteland, only two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than 100 years old had appeared. As for peak Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than 100 years old, they had never appeared in the Wasteland. How could he not be shocked to meet a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was younger than 100 years old?

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Huan’er, what’s wrong?”

“Brother Ling Tian, this person is being rude. He used his Divine Consciousness to investigate me,” Huan’er replied angrily. Her expression was sour when she complained to Duan Ling Tian.

“Qiu Ling… A-are you joking?” Long Fei Yun was still in shock over Qiu Ling’s discovery that he was unaware of Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s conversation and Duan Ling Tian’s darkened expression.

“I’m not.” Qiu Ling confirmed.

Long Yun Fei shuddered before he regained his senses. He quickly asked Qiu Ling to apologize when he discovered the displeased and angered expression on Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s faces.

Only after the apology did Duan Ling Tian’s expression soften and Huan’er’s anger dissipated.

…

During the journey to the Imperial palace, Long Fei Yun sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian, “Brother Duan… I-is it really okay for you to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect?” Back in the Nian clan’s auction house, he was certain Duan Ling Tian did not have an extraordinary background after Duan Ling Tian accepted the deal. How could someone with an extraordinary background be interested in an earth-rank cultivation method? Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had admitted as much. However, now that he discovered the white-clad lady was a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was younger than 100 years old, he began to doubt himself. How could a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was younger than 100 years old have an ordinary background? It was impossible!

“Why do you ask so?” Duan Ling Tian asked in return.

“Brother Duan, frankly speaking, Qiu Ling informed me that your friend is a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial even though she’s younger than 100 years old. With someone like that by your side, it’s hard for me to believe you don’t have an extraordinary background,” Long Fei Yun said with a bitter smile on his face.

“Huan’er… Well, her background is complicated. It’s inconvenient for me to talk about it. However, it’s true that I don’t have an extraordinary background. There’s no problem with me joining the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. As for Huan’er, I can’t promise you anything. It’ll have to depend on her willingness,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I have no intention of asking Lady Huan’er to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect,” Long Fei Yun said as he shook his head, “Instead, if it’s possible, I hope Lady Huan’er will conceal her age. A profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who’s younger than 100 years old… If word of this spread, it’ll cause a commotion in the Wasteland. It’ll do more harm than good to her if that happens!” He became increasingly concerned as he continued to say, “I’m just afraid there will be people who want to exploit her. They would assume she has an extraordinary background and has mastered high-grade celestial methods and Divine Abilities. Humans are inherently greedy after all. Who knows what they would do to get their hands on her?”
