Chapter 2682: Revered Elder Tian Ling is Duan Ling Tian?

Chapter 2682 Revered Elder Tian Ling is Duan Ling Tian?

The Fourth Prince was a legend to the people in King Qin’s Mansion. His innate talent was undoubtedly the highest among his brothers. His strength had surpassed King Qin’s current strength 100 years ago. He was widely acknowledged as the strongest person in King Qin’s Mansion.

Unfortunately, a few decades ago, the Fourth Prince suffered from Qi deviation when he was in closed-door cultivation. Due to that, he had injured King Qin and mistakenly killed his niece. After that, he left King Qin’s Mansion, never to be seen or heard of again.

As the County Governor of Nine Specters County, Tian Ji Yu had the honor of meeting the Fourth Prince once. Although he thought Qin Yu looked familiar, since it had been a long time since he saw the Fourth Prince, it did not occur to him that Qin Yu resembled the Fourth Prince.

However, after Tian Ji Yu saw Qin Yu casting the Heavenly Dance of Blood Marks, which was exclusive only to the direct descendants of King Qin’s Mansion, and heard the Third Prince summoned Qin Yu, the Fourth Prince’s face appeared in his mind, and the puzzles began to click into place.

…

Meanwhile, a similar thought appeared in the mind of Wang Qi Ling, the County Governor of Fair Mountain County. ‘That Qin Yu from Nine Specters County resembles the Fourth Prince!’ Now, he realized why he had found Qin Yu familiar when they first met.

The other County Governors who had met the Fourth Prince watched as Qin Yu entered the VIP area. They discussed furtively among themselves and speculated that Qin Yu was the son of the Fourth Prince who had disappeared a few decades ago.

“Why does Qin Yu look so similar to the Fourth Prince?”

“Not only that, but his surname is Qin as well. Could he be a direct descendant of King Qin’s Mansion who had been left outside all this while?”

“It’s likely that he’s the Fourth Prince’s son!”

When the County Governors discussed this matter, their conversations were, naturally, overheard by their subordinates.

“Fourth Prince?”

“He’s the strongest powerhouse in our King Qin’s Mansion 100 years ago!”

“Qin Yu from the Nine Specters County is probably the son of the Fourth Prince?”

When the County Governors discussed Qin Yu, their subordinates, naturally, overheard their conversation. They were thoroughly shocked by the news. A nobody from Nine Specters County was suddenly suspected to be the Fourth Prince’s son, a direct descendant of King Qin’s Mansion!

There were many people who were also invited to sit in the VIP area. Most of these people were from major sects and forces in the places governed by King Qin’s Mansion. Although they were not as strong as King Qin’s Mansion, they were stronger than the 16 counties.

A figure shrouded in black robes started as he muttered in a low voice that was only audible to him, “Qin Yu? The direct descendant of King Qin’s Mansion? The son of the Fourth Prince?” A hint of surprise could be heard in his voice when he spoke.

This person’s black robes were embroidered with flames that formed the word ‘Yang’. The words seemed to be ablaze, it was a truly eye-catching design. This robe is the Celestial Master’s Robe in the Devata Realms.

The Celestial Master’s Robes were exclusive uniforms made by the Alliance of Celestial Masters. Only Celestial Alchemists and Celestial Weapons Craftsmen would be given these robes once they verified their identities at the Alliance of Celestial Masters.

Celestial Masters was the collective name for Celestial Alchemists and Celestial Craftsmen. Therefore, their alliance was called the Alliance of Celestial Masters.

Not many in the Spirit Overarching Heaven would dare to make counterfeits of the Celestial Master’s Robes. Anyone who was caught wearing a counterfeit Celestial Master’s Robe would be hunted down and killed by the Alliance of Celestial Masters.

The Celestial Master’s Robes were divided into four ranks; heaven, earth, yang, and yin. These robes were given to Celestial Alchemists and Celestial Weapons Craftsmen according to their supreme, prominent, mediocre, and primitive ranks.

The man in black’s Celestial Master’s Robe was a yin Celestial Master’s Robe. This indicated that he was a primitive Celestial Alchemist!

The black-robed man tilted his head and looked at a middle-aged man sitting nearby and asked in a hoarse and deep voice, “Vice Sect Leader Huang, is the Fourth Prince stronger than King Qin of King Qin’s Mansion?”

The middle-aged man looked at the black-robed man and smiled as he nodded. “Revered Elder Tian Ling, yes, the Fourth Prince is, indeed, stronger than King Qin. It looks like you haven’t heard about the Fourth Prince?” The middle-aged man was Huang Guang Ji, the Vice Sect Leader of Flying Dragon Sect. The Flying Dragon Sect was one of the relatively strong sects in the area governed by King Qin’s Mansion.

The middle-aged man had led members of the Flying Dragon Sect to watch the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties under the invitation of King Qin’s Mansion. Although the black-robed man in front of him had just joined the Flying Dragon Sect less than two months ago and was merely one of five primitive Celestial Alchemists, his skill in pill refining far surpassed the other four. Moreover, the Sect Leader of Flying Dragon Sect did not only treat the black-robed man courteously, but the sect leader had also urged him to be respectful to the black-robed man before they departed to the King City of King Qin’s Mansion. For this reason, he did not dare to put on airs and was very polite to the black-robed man.

The black-robed man nodded before saying indifferently, “I’ve been traveling a lot all these years. I only arrived in King Qin’s Mansion two months ago. As it happened, I was just about to have a breakthrough in my cultivation so I chose to temporarily settle in your sect.”

Huang Guang Ji, the Vice Sect Leader of Flying Dragon Sect, had heard the sect leader spoke about the black-robed man so he was not surprised by this information. He said enthusiastically, “Revered Elder Ling Tian, since you’re interested in the Fourth Prince, let me tell you what I know about him…”

After listening to Huan Guang Ji’s explanation, the black-robed man sighed and said, ‘Qin Yu is probably the lost son of the Fourth Prince…’

When Huan Guan Ji saw the black-robed lowered his head, lost in his thoughts, and clearly not in the mood to talk, he was not annoyed. After all, he had already gotten used to the black-robed man’s anti-social behavior. He thought to himself, ‘Based on Revered Elder Ling Tian’s hoarse voice, I guess he must be very old.’

Naturally, Huang Guang Ji was unaware that the black-robed man was, in fact, a young man who had faked his speaking voice. Underneath the black-robes that hid his appearance and body was a purple-clad young man with a muscular body. If Qin Yu was around and moved the cloth covering his face aside, he would definitely recognize this Revered Elder Tian Ling as Duan Ling Tian!

‘I think the Third Prince must be trying to verify Qin Yu’s identity,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Although he did not try to look at what was happening behind the curtain, like the others, his mind was definitely focused on what was happening behind the curtain.

Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts wandered off from Qin Yu to another matter. ‘Anyway, thanks to the rule from King Qin’s Mansion that allows a county to select a participant to directly participate in the finals, I’m able to keep myself hidden until now. Otherwise, there really would be no way for me to hide.’

Everyone, including Tian Ji Yu, did not imagine, even in their wildest dreams, that Duan Ling Tian had already arrived in King Qin’s Mansion. However, he had come with another identity; Revered Elder Ling Tian of the Flying Dragon Sect who was a primitive Celestial Alchemist as could be seen by the yin Celestial Master’s Robe he was wearing.

Since Duan Ling Tian was dressed in the yin Celestial Master’s Robe, no one dared to probe him with their Divine Consciousnesses. They did not dare to provoke a Celestial Alchemist after all. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian was able to hide his age and identity.

Suddenly, thunderous voices began to ring one after another.

“Lord King Qin has arrived!”

“Lord King Qin has arrived!”

Along with the voices, nine white horses appeared, carrying a roofless carriage and flying from somewhere nearby at a speed comparable to an ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestial. A middle-aged man dressed in purple and gold robes with a majestic air sat in the carriage as a large group of people trailed behind him.
