Chapter 2773: Qin Yu Came to Visit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shi Lei, the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, was lascivious and did not have a good character. However, due to his glib tongue, he was greatly favored by the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. Moreover, since he had no interest in succeeding the throne, he had good relations with the other princes as well.
However, five days after the people from the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom arrived in Tai Yi City, his Soul Pearl had suddenly shattered.
“The Sixth Prince is dead!!”
Shi Lei’s death, naturally, caused a huge commotion in the residence of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom that was arranged by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Not only was the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom furious, but the princes of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom were furious as well.
The emperor had immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Shi Lei’s death. The princes and members were busy because of this. Due to the help from the princes, the cause of Shi Lei’s death was quickly found out.
“The sixth prince’s death is related to the beautiful woman whom he had been searching for in recent years!”
“Previously, Nangong Li had presented a Floating Image Pearl that showed two people. One of them is the woman that the Sixth Prince had been looking for. She’s in the portraits that are widely circulated in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. The other person is a young man.”
“One of the sixth prince’s subordinates said that someone had sighted the young man in the mirror image. For that reason, the sixth prince had brought Nangong Li out to look for that young man.”
“Someone witnessed the sixth prince, Nangong Li, and another man being killed on the streets of Tai Yi City. The person who killed them is a white-clad woman who wears a hat and a veil.”
“That white-clad woman is suspected to be the woman in the mirror image because Nangong Li recognized the purple-clad young man beside her.”
The Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom was merely an Intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdom, but when they worked together, they were able to gather a lot of useful information in just a short time.
“The person who killed my sixth son is the people of the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom? The Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom intended to protect my son but his man was evenly matched with the man of the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom... Apart from that, the white-clad woman is also stronger than the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom...” When Yun Qi Ling, the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, found out what happened, his expression darkened. His eyes were brimming with killing intent as though he was going to go on a killing spree.
Beneath Yun Qi Ling’s main seat, several people stood there. One of them looked at Yun Qi Ling, fidgeting, as he asked, “Your Majesty, what should we do regarding this matter?”
“What should we do? What can we do?” Yun Qi Ling said coldly as he glared at the man, “Didn’t you hear? The culprit is the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial and his people! Even the Ninth Prince of the Mystical Wave Celestial Kingdom is helpless! What do you think we can do?”
Upon hearing Yun Qi Ling’s words, the man remained silent, he had no response. Indeed, the other party was not someone they could not afford to offend.
...
In a courtyard near the main hall where Yun Qi Ling and the others were in, Qin Yu, the nephew of King Qin, met Chu Yan, one of the participants of the Wasteland Grand Contest selected by the King Qin’s Mansion.
“Chu Yan, is something the matter?” Qin Yu asked curiously. Although he did not have a particularly close relationship with Chu Yan, they both journeyed together from King Qin’s Mansion to Tai Yi City after all. For that reason, they managed to speak quite a bit during the journey.
Chu Yan asked, “Qin Yu, based on my knowledge, you’re good friends with Duan Ling Tian, right?”
“Duan Ling Tian?” An eager expression appeared on Qin Yu’s face instantly as soon as he heard Chu Yan’s words. He asked urgently, “Chu Yan, d-do you have the news of Duan Ling Tian?” He was extremely worried about Duan Ling Tian ever since Duan Ling Tian had escaped from King Qin’s Mansion using the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman. He was, naturally, filled with anticipation and anxiety now that Chu Yan mentioned Duan Ling Tian.
“Do you know about the young man next to the white-clad woman who killed the sixth prince and two of his men?” Chu Yan continued to ask instead of replying to Qin Yu’s question.
“Yes.” Qin Yu nodded. “It’s said that that young man is one of the two people shown in the Floating Image Pearl that Nangong Li had presented to the sixth prince. When the young man was sighted, the sixth prince went to look for that young man. It’s said that the young man and the white-clad woman are the people the sixth prince has been looking for in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom,” Qin Yu replied.
“Do you know that young man is Duan Ling Tian?” Chu Yan asked again.
“What?! The young man next to the white-clad woman is Duan Ling Tian?” Qin Yu was shocked by the revelation. Although he had never seen the portraits of the young man or the white-clad woman, based on the things he had heard, he had surmised the young man had a prominent background. He had also heard that the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was extremely courteous to the young man. Moreover, he also heard that the white-clad woman was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. How could he not be shocked after listening to Chu Yan’s words? He shook his head as he said, “H-how is it possible?”
“Qin Yu, I was there when that white-clad woman killed the sixth prince and his two men. I saw Duan Ling Tian as well,” Chu Yan said solemnly.
Qin Yu fell silent. Although it sounded far-fetched, he thought it was possible as well. “I want to visit the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence that’s arranged by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.” He made up his mind immediately. He had to verify whether the young man with the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was truly Duan Ling Tian. After so many years, he wanted to see with his own eyes that his friend was safe.
...
Qin Yu was merely someone from King Qin’s Mansion under the governance of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. He was not a prince and was only the nephew of King Qin. Therefore, it was quite difficult for him to arrange a meeting with the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. However, his persistence paid off. He finally managed to contact Long Fei Yun and arranged a meeting with him when he said he was a friend of Duan Ling Tian.
When they finally met, Long Fei Yun studied Qin Yu, “Are you really a friend of Brother Duan?” Naturally, he would not bring Qin Yu to meet Duan Ling Tian directly before he could verify that Qin Yu was truly Duan Ling Tian’s friend. After all, he placed great importance in Duan Ling Tian since Duan Ling Tian would determine whether he would be able to sit on the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Duan Ling Tian was a strong powerhouse who was also a prominent Celestial Alchemist who could refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. It would be easy for him to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. Once Duan Ling Tian joined the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and rose in ranks, it would take but a word from him to make Long Fei Yun the next Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
“Your Royal Highness, the thirteenth prince, if the Brother Duan you’re referring to is called Duan Ling Tian and looks like this, then, there’s no doubt he’s my friend,” Qin Yu said as he revealed a portrait of a young man to Long Fei Yun.
The portrait was of a handsome young man with strong eyebrows and bright eyes. He had an exceptional air about him. With just a glance, Long Fei Yun could tell the young man in the portrait was none other than Duan Ling Tian! For this reason, Long Fei Yun lowered his guard and became polite. He asked with a smile, “How should I address you, brother?”
“You can call me Qin Yu,” Qin Yu responded immediately. He did not dare to be reckless. After all, his origin and status were far inferior to Long Fei Yun.
“Brother Qin Yu, since you’re a friend of Brother Duan, I’ll bring you to him immediately,” Long Fei Yun said without wasting time.
...
While Long Fei Yun led Qin Yu to Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard, an uninvited guest had appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard. The uninvited guest was none other than Tie Tia He, the Left Guardian of Tai Yi Celestial Sect!
Duan Ling Tian did not seem surprised by Tie Tai He’s sudden appearance. He asked, “I heard Guardian Tie has had a breakthrough recently and became a Seven Stars Celestial Duke, is that right?”
“Celestial Alchemist Duan, I didn’t think you’d heard about it as well.” Tie Tai He smiled. He treated Duan Ling Tian politely as well, “Indeed. I got lucky and had a breakthrough. Currently, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is the strongest sect in the Wasteland. If you change your mind, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect will welcome you with open arms.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Guardian Tie, but I’ve already made up my mind.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he politely refused Tie Tai He.
Tie Tai He was not surprised. He took out a Spatial Ring and handed it to Duan Ling Tian. “Celestial Alchemist Duan, inside this spatial ring there’s a total of 38 sets of medicinal herbs. They’re ingredients to refine Overarching Heaven Pills. Depending on your ability, how many Overarching Heaven Pills will you be able to refine with these ingredients? Our Tai Yi Celestial Sect only needs 100 pills. If there’s a surplus, you can consider it as your reward,” he said with a smile.
