Chapter 2683 - Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s Celestial Duke?!

Chapter 2683 Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s Celestial Duke?!

All nine of the snow-white horses looked no different from normal horses in the mundane realms. However, upon closer inspection, the snow-white horses emitted Celestial Origin Energy. These horses were clearly Celestial beasts.

In the Devata Realms, Celestial beasts were divided into those that were sentient and those who were not. Those with sentience were no different from humans. They were even able to transform into humans and cultivate as well. Those without sentience were no different from normal beasts that only operated on their animal instincts. Those beasts only cultivated through their instincts or with help from humans.

The horses pulling on King Qin’s roofless carriage were bred in King Qin’s Mansion, and each of their cultivation bases was comparable to a Violet Sun Golden Celestial. With these horses pulling on the carriage, the carriage’s speed was comparable to that of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

‘So that’s King Qin?’ Hidden under the black robes, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he looked at the middle-aged man dressed in a purple and gold long robe. The middle-aged man’s complexion was as clear as jade, he was tall, and had a strong build. The majestic air about him far outshone that of the county governors who were present. Before King Qin, all the county governors paled in comparison. It was clear they were in a different league.

“It’s King Qin!”

“King Qin is here!”

As soon as the roofless carriage appeared, a commotion broke out immediately.

“Greetings, King Qin!”

Everyone present on the scene bowed and greeted King Qin respectfully in unison.

Moments later, everyone surrounding the battle ring bowed at King Qin respectfully. Even the audience in the VIP area were no exception as they cupped their fists and greeted, “Greetings, King Qin .”

Duan Ling Tian followed the people from the Flying Dragon Sect and cupped his fists and greeted King Qin.

Among everyone present, the only person who was unaffected and showed no deference was the grey-clad figure next to Wang Qi Ling, the County Governor of Fair Mountain County.

“Hm?” King Qin who was seated in the carriage waved at the crowd before he noticed the grey-clad figure next to Wang Qi Ling who did not pay respect to him. A frown appeared on his face immediately. This was his territory, how could there be someone who dared to act with such disrespect?

Everyone’s eyes followed King Qin’s eyes and looked at the grey-clad figure. In just an instant, the grey-clad figure became the center of attention.

‘Damn it! What’s he trying to do? He’s going to get us killed!’ The expressions of the Revered Elders and elders of Fair Mountain County changed drastically.

‘Who’s that person? How bold of him to disrespect King Qin!’ The young powerhouses from Fair Mountain County were speechless. They were also worried this person’s behavior would affect King Qin’s behavior toward them.

King Qin turned his eyes to Wang Qi Ling and said indifferently, “County Chief Wang, it seems like the person standing next to you has something against me…” Despite his indifference, everyone could hear the hint of anger in his voice.

Wang Qi Ling’s expression changed drastically, and he began to sweat profusely, “K-King Qin, my lord…”

Meanwhile, the other 15 county governors were gloating over Wang Qi Ling’s misfortune.

Wang Qi Ling quickly sent a Voice Transmission to the grey-clad figure. “Senior, can you please say something to King Qin?”

The grey-clad figure did not deign to reply to Wang Qi Ling. After all, it might alert Duan Ling Tian to her presence. Her turbid eyes glinted with wisdom as she looked at King Qin.

“You’re King Qin of King Qin’s Mansion? I’m from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. I came today under the order of my sect leader to kill someone. If my identity is exposed and scares my target away, I’ll definitely annihilate King Qin’s Mansion!” The grey-robed figure’s Voice Transmission rang in King Qin’s ears.

‘The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?!’ Then, he saw the grey-robed figure’s hand move, and an order token flashed before him.

‘The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s core elder?!’ Although King Qin only saw it for a brief moment, he knew without a doubt it was an identity token of a core elder from the Compassionate Traveler Sect.

‘Among the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s core elder, even the weakest is a Celestial Duke!”

Upon seeing the identity order token and realizing the person was a Celestial Duke, he gulped and hurriedly sent a Voice Transmission, “Senior, I’ll ask my man to come out with an excuse. Otherwise, the others would find it strange if I don’t do anything. Please accept my apology in advance if I offend you in any way.”

The grey-clad figure only scoffed in response.

Then, King Qin sent a Voice Transmission to Wang Qi Ling.

Upon hearing King Qin’s Voice Transmission, Wang Qi Ling’s eyes widened in horror and disbelief. However, he quickly recovered his composure. He bowed at King Qin and said, “King Qin, this person is deaf and mute. I apologize on this person’s behalf. Please forgive him.”

“I’ve always been magnanimous. Since this person is deaf and mute, I’ll forgive him.” King Qin played along with Wang Qi Ling’s excuse. Then, he made his way to a hidden area in the VIP area to the seat that had been reserved for him.

The crowd was discussing furtively among themselves as their attention turned away from Wang Qi Ling and the grey figure next to him.

“It seems like King Qin came for Qin Yu!”

“Isn’t it obvious? It seems like Qin Yu is really related to the Fourth Prince from King Qin’s Mansion who had disappeared.”

“I heard the Fourth Prince had severely injured King Qin before he left the King Qin’s Mansion… If Qin Yu is truly related to the Fourth Prince, will King Qin seek revenge from Qin Yu?”

“You overthink things! Aren’t you aware the Fourth Prince only attacked King Qin because he experienced Qi deviation and lost his sanity? King Qin and the Fourth Prince are biological brothers and had a close relationship. If Qin Yu is truly the Fourth Prince’s descendant, King Qin will definitely treat him well.”

“Perhaps, he might even be made a family member of King Qin!”

At this moment, King Qin, the Third Prince, and Qin Yu were in the hidden area in the VIP area. Nobody knew what was going on inside. After all, they could not see nor hear what was happening inside.

About 15 mins later…

The master of ceremony of the Martial Competition of the 16 counties suddenly rose into the air and announced, “Qin Yu will withdraw from the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties… The competition will continue as usual!”

Upon hearing this, the entire place fell silent for a moment before an uproar broke out again.

“Qin Yu is quitting the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties?”

“What happened?”

“It seems like Qin Yu is really the descendant of the Fourth Prince! If he’s really the Fourth Prince’s son, there’s no need for him to participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. After all, as the Fourth Prince’s son, King Qin’s Mansion definitely won’t mistreat him.”

Someone sighed. “Life is really different if you’re born with a silver spoon!”

Among the audience in the VIP seats, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself inwardly, ‘Congratulations, Qin Yu! If we have a chance to meet again, I’ll congratulate you in person!”

Duan Ling Tian was still hiding from the old lady who had been searching for him in Nine Specters County. She had even chased after him to King Qin’s Mansion. Since it was best to be cautious, he decided to continue to hide. To others, he was merely a primitive Celestial Alchemist from the Flying Dragon Sect.

‘Fortunately, I’m wearing the Celestial Master’s Robe with the ‘Kun’ word on it that proves my identity as a primitive Celestial Alchemist or primitive Celestial Craftsman… Otherwise, my original outfit would’ve attracted people’s attention.’ Duan Ling Tian knew without the Celestial Master’s Robe, many people would probe him with their Divine Consciousness out of curiosity.

The Martial Competition of the 16 Counties continued…

…

Behind the curtain of the VIP seats, Qin Yu stood in between King Qin and the Third Prince of King Qin’s Mansion. Both of them were staring at Qin Yu intently while Qin Yu was reserved.

“Yu’Er… Where’s your father?” the Third Prince asked.

Qin Yu sighed before he replied, “Father… he has passed.”

Upon hearing this, King Qin and the Third Prince’s expression changed drastically.
