War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Who is he? Isn’t he afraid of the Lyu clan seeking revenge from him?”

The onlookers whispered among themselves in shock and disbelief by Duan Ling Tian’s strength and his boldness as to kill Lyu Wen Bin, the Great Young Master of the Lyu clan in Qi Lyu City!

“Fortunately, the Second Young Master of the Qi clan didn’t act. Otherwise, it would’ve been him and the Qi clan’s elder who died.”

“Actually, they were about to strike before the Great Young Master of the Lyu clan showed up…”

“If that’s the case, in a way, the Great Young Master of the Lyu clan had saved the Second Young Master of the Qi clan, right?”

“Yes.”

Many of the onlookers thought Qi You was really fortunate.

As soon as Qi You regained his senses, his expression turned neutral. He quickly bowed and cupped his fists together as he apologized. “Dear sir, please forgive my earlier transgression!”

The old man behind Qi You followed suit and bowed as well. He would not have bowed if Duan Ling Tian had merely killed Lyu Wen Bin. However, he had witnessed how easily Duan Ling Tian had killed Lyu Nan. He knew very well that his strength was on par with Lyu Nan. This meant Duan Ling Tian was much stronger than him! For this reason, he no longer dared to act recklessly.

“After you used me, you intend to pacify me with a mere apology?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently as he narrowed his eyes at Qi You.

Qi You lowered his head and asked anxiously, “That… What else do you want?”

As the saying went, ‘A wise person never sails against the wind’. Although there were powerhouses in the Qi clan who were stronger than this purple-clad young man, they were not here. Hence, Qi You knew he had to admit defeat, at least temporarily.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Qi You pointedly as he said, “Bring me to the Qi clan, we’ll talk on the way.”

“Alright.” Although Qi You did not know why Duan Ling Tian would want to go to the Qi clan, he did not care since this was beneficial to him. ‘Heh! And I was worried because the other elites from the Qi clan aren’t here. Since you want to go to the clan to seek death, I’ll grant you your wish!’ His head was lowered when this thought appeared in his mind. A chilling glint flashed in his eyes for a moment.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er followed Qi You and the elder behind him to the Qi clan. The onlookers made way for them as they walked. In just a blink of an eye, they disappeared from the onlookers’ sight. They heaved a sigh of relief and began to discuss among themselves with gusto.

“Why is the purple-clad young man following the second young master back to the Qi clan?”

“It seems like the second young master was going to compensate him earlier, but he asked to go to the Qi clan. Does he think he still can call the shots there?”

“He’s just seeking death by going to the Qi clan. Although he’s strong, I’m afraid it’s far from being able to take on the entire Qi clan!”

“The Qi clan is a powerful clan with two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials!”

Most of the onlookers were puzzled by Duan Ling Tian’s decision to go to the Qi clan. Was this not bringing trouble upon himself?

All of a sudden, someone speculated, “Do you think it’s possible that the purple-clad young man and the lady are actually secretly hired by the Qi clan?”

Someone’s eyes glinted knowingly. “It’s possible that everything that happened earlier was just for show and a plot to kill the Great Young Master of the Lyu clan!”

“That’s right! They only put on a show to confuse the Lyu clan. Those two must be returning to the Qi clan to receive their payment before leaving Qi Lyu City. As long as those two leave, the Lyu clan won’t have any evidence of the Qi clan being the mastermind of Lyu Wen Bing’s death. The Lyu clan won’t act against the Qi clan without concrete evidence!”

The majority of the people present on the scene agreed with these words.

“It makes sense. Although the Second Young Master of the Qi clan is a well-known prodigal son, I don’t think he would’ve spent 20,000 prominent Celestial Stones just to have a look at a woman’s face!”

“That’s right! Although he squandered money recklessly in the past, it was never to this extent!”

“Spending 20,000 prominent Celestial Stones just to ask a woman to remove her veil is outrageous indeed.”

Fortunately, Qi You was not around and did not hear the discussions in the surroundings. He would definitely lose his temper otherwise. After all, the Qi clan was completely innocent in regard to this matter! If the Qi clan had hired those two people, would he have felt so anxious to lead them back to the clan?

During the journey to the Qi clan’s estate, Qi You broke the silence first. He looked at Duan Ling Tian nervously and asked, “What do you want, dear sir?”

“I want a detailed map of the entire Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom and the neighboring Celestial Kingdoms…”

Upon hearing this, Qi You was calm. This was a small price to pay. In fact, it was almost insignificant. The Qi clan could easily produce a map like that.

Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “In addition, the Qi Clan should compensate me with 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones.”

Upon hearing that, Qi You’s calm expression changed drastically.

1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones! Although the Qi clan could afford it, it was not a small sum

Even the elder from the Qi clan’s expression had changed. Although they had expected Duan Ling Tian to ask for compensation, this was a blatant extortion! 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones! Was he so confident they would give into his demand?

In the end, Qi You took a deep breath and said, “I can’t make this decision… I’ll have to speak to my father once we return to the Qi clan.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded indifferently. “That’s alright, I’ll wait for you at the Qi clan… However, you only have an hour once we arrive at the Qi Clan. If I don’t get 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones by then, don’t blame me if something unfortunate happens!” He narrowed his eyes at Qi You when he reached the end of his sentence.

Qi You trembled inwardly when he saw the killing intent in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He quickly looked away, afraid to meet Duan Ling Tian’s gaze.

The elder behind Qi You said through Voice Transmission, “Second young master, this young man is too greedy. How dare he ask for 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones!”

“Well, we’ll see if he’s able to live long enough to enjoy the fruit of his greed,” Qi You replied through Voice Transmission as he sneered inwardly.

“He doesn’t look like a reckless person though… The Qi clan’s strength is no secret in Qi Lyu City. I’m sure he knows about our clan,” the elder from the Qi clan said warily through Voice Transmission.

Qi You’s voice turned grim immediately. “Are you saying that he’s bold enough to follow us back to the Qi clan even though he knows our strength because he isn’t afraid?”

“Yes. Either he was hiding his true strength earlier or he has an extraordinary background,” the elder replied.

“Regardless, I’ll ask father to investigate him. I can also ask the old ancestor to probe him!” Qi You said.

The Qi clan had the protection of two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials. These two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials were, naturally, the most powerful in the Qi clan. One of them was Qi You’s father, and the other one was the old ancestor of the Qi clan. Although both of them were heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials, the old ancestor was more powerful than the Clan Leader of the Qi clan!

Upon entering the Qi clan’s main door, Huan’er said disgruntledly through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, why are we following him? I don’t like them, I don’t want to be with them.”

“We’re here to demand Celestial Stones from them. All the items I bought for you in the city were bought with Celestial Stones. We’ll run out of them eventually. For this reason, we’re here to acquire more… As long as we have Celestial Stones, we’ll be able to buy fun and unique items,” Duan Ling Tian said to Huan’er as though he was pacifying a child.

“Wow!” Huan’er’s eyes lit up instantly. “Then, we should demand all the Celestial Stones they have! If they refuse, I’ll kill them!” Killing intent flashed in her eyes at the end of her sentence.

If the other two could hear Huan’er’s words, they would have been thoroughly shocked.
