War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2725 An Actor With Great Acting Skills

“Dong’er, don’t be rude,” Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, said after he and Duan Ling Tian sized each other up. Without waiting for Zhou Shu Dong, who wore an aggrieved expression on her face, to reply, he looked at Duan Ling Tian again and said, “Sir, you’re not going to make us stand since we’re guests, right?”“Guests?” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and slowly replied, “Fourth Prince, if you’re truly a guest, I’ll definitely welcome you. However, I’m afraid you didn’t come as a guest, did you?” He glanced at Zhou Shu Dong indifferently before he turned to look at Long Xiang Yun meaningfully.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, an ancient-sounding voice rang in Long Xiang Yun’s ear via Voice Transmission. It belonged to the old man who stood behind him. “Your Royal Highness, I just probed this man. Based on his physical body, he’s younger than 100 years old!” As soon as he heard this, his eyes widened imperceptibly. His cousin was a Blue Sun Golden Celestial, but the person standing in front of him managed to send his cousin flying and injure her with just a wave of his hand without using any Celestial Weapon. It was obvious the young man was far stronger than his cousin. This meant the purple-clad young man was at least an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial, if not a Violet Sun Golden Celestial. He would much prefer it if the purple-clad young man was a Violet Sun Golden Celestial. After all, if the purple-clad young man had a lower cultivation base and still managed to exert strength comparable to a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, it meant the young man had mastered extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. Usually, extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were only available in powerful forces. It would be better if the young man did not come from a powerful force. After a while, he asked through Voice Transmission, “What about his cultivation base?”

“I can’t seem to determine his cultivation base. I think he used certain techniques to conceal his cultivation base,” the old man replied through Voice Transmission.

When Long Xiang Yun heard the old man’s reply, he felt the purple-clad young man in front of him became even more mysterious. He studied Duan Ling Tian again and discovered that Duan Ling Tian seemed calm and unafraid. In the end, he looked at Zhou Shu Dong and said in a commanding tone, “Dong’er, apologize.”

Zhou Shu Dong’s expression changed slightly, and she was about to protest when she heard Long Xiang Yun’s Voice Transmission. “Dong’er, before I find out about his background, you’ll have to play along even if you feel wronged. Once I confirm he doesn’t have a strong background, I promise you that I won’t let him walk out of the capital alive!”

Upon hearing Long Xiang Yun’s words, she relaxed. It seemed like her cousin did not mean for her to sincerely apologize. Her cousin only wanted to investigate the purple-clad young man’s background before taking any action. She no longer felt unwilling and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian before she said, “I’m sorry.”

“Have a seat, Fourth Prince.” As the saying went, ‘An angry fist does not hit a smiling face’. Since the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was being considerate, it would not do for Duan Ling Tian to put on airs. He nodded and gestured for the fourth prince to take a seat.

Long Xiang Yun took a seat with a smile on his face. As soon as he sat down, he put his hand on the stone table, causing the stone table to shake along with Duan Ling Tian’s hands that were also placed on the table.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He did not sense any hostility from Long Xiang Yun, but it seemed like Long Xiang Yun wanted to probe him.

Long Xiang Yun had sent an energy comparable to a yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial through the table. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian could tell it was only a casual release of power. It was far from Long Xiang Yun’s true strength. After taking a deep breath, he also released an energy comparable to the strength Long Xiang Yun had released.

Long Xiang Yun narrowed his eyes for a brief moment before he withdrew his energy. ‘Great Overarching Golden Celestial?’

Upon sensing Long Xiang Yun had withdrawn his power, Duan Ling Tian followed suit.

After that, Long Xiang Yun said with a smile, “How should I address you, brother?” His tone was extremely friendly. It was as though he was speaking to a good friend.

Upon hearing the way Long Xiang Yun addressed Duan Ling Tian as ‘brother’ instead of ‘sir’, the old man standing behind him, Zhou Shu Dong, the innkeeper of Fleeting Time Inn, and Cheng’er were stunned. How could they not feel stunned? Long Xiang Yun was the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom after all, and he had just addressed someone he had just met as ‘brother’.

Long Xiang Yun said to the old man behind him and Zhou Shu Dong through Voice Transmission, “He’s at least a yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial.”

Upon hearing Long Xiang Yun’s words, Zhou Shu Dong was shocked.

Meanwhile, the old man narrowed his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and wariness. A Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was not even 100 years old? There was no one like this in the entire Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Such a person was rare even in other high-rank Celestial Kingdoms. And yet, a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was not even 100 years old stood before him now.

“Dong’er, he’s not even 100 years old.” Zhou Shu Dong, who was shocked when she found out that Duan Ling Tian was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, became even more shocked when she heard her cousin’s words. The man she had wanted to keep as a boy toy was actually a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was not even 100 years old? There were Great Overarching Golden Celestials everywhere in the kingdom, but there were no Great Overarching Golden Celestials younger than the age of 100!

“I don’t have the habit of revealing my name to strangers,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.

If Duan Ling Tian had spoken so boldly before the revelation, the old man and Zhou Shu Dong would have thought Duan Ling Tian was seeking death. However, now they both felt it was only natural for Duan Ling Tian to behave in such a manner.

“Then, I’ll ask for your name again once we’re familiar with each other,” Long Xiang Yun said with a smile even though a hint of displeasure flickered in the depths of his eyes. Since Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to disclose his name, he did not ask about Duan Ling Tian’s background. Instead, he took the initiative to chat about other things. With this, he learned that Duan Ling Tian had just arrived in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. After chatting about various trivial matters, he asked genially as though he was speaking to a good friend, “Brother, you came to the capital with a companion, right? I heard my cousin said that she’s your sister?”

“She’s not my biological sister, she’s my junior sister.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he continued to say with a hint of helplessness, “I only came to the territories in the Wasteland because of my junior sister. She insisted that I accompany her out, she wouldn’t stop bothering me about it. I didn’t plan to agree to her request, but since I’m weaker than her, she knocked me out and brought me out with her. She even evaded capture by the sect elders sent by the sect leader. When I woke up, I’m already here.”

Upon hearing this small piece of information, Long Xiang Yun’s eyes slightly brightened. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian did not come from a sect in the territories of the Wasteland. Outside of the Wasteland, although rare, there were places with far superior cultivation environments and resources and many stronger powerhouses. He continued to probe for more information. “So, she’s only your junior sister because she joined the sect later than you did?”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Well, that’s only part of the reason. She’s also younger than me, that’s why she’s my junior sister.” He feigned an expression of envy as he said, “As soon as she joined the sect, the sect leader chose her to be his last disciple!”

Since it was Duan Ling Tian’s intention, Long Xiang Yun, naturally, saw the expression of envy that flitted across Duan Ling Tian’s face. He said, “It seems like your junior sister’s innate talent is higher than yours...” Although he looked calm, inwardly, he was slightly panicking. Based on what he knew, the purple-clad young man and white-clad woman were strong enough to kill the Zhou clan’s elder who was tasked to protect his cousin. That elder was an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. After speaking to the old man behind him through Voice Transmission, he deduced that the white-clad woman had to be a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial at least. Naturally, if they came from a powerful sect, it was possible to be as powerful as a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial even if one was just a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial with the help of extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.

“Of course. Otherwise, why would the sect leader select her to be his last disciple?” Duan Ling Tian nodded. When he spoke, he had an earnest expression on his face. There was no trace of deceit that could be seen in his expression of all. If he was still on earth, he would definitely be awarded with the title of best actor for his acting skills.

Meanwhile, the innkeeper of the Fleeting Time Inn was panicking as well. Although he knew Duan Ling Tian was strong, he did not know how strong Duan Ling Tian was. Most importantly, Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old. How could he not panic when he heard that Duan Ling Tian’s junior sister was even more powerful than him? His junior sister was even younger than him but was capable of easily killing the Zhou clan’s elder who was an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial!
