Chapter 2713 - A Cautious Duan Ling Tian

There were 87 Devata Realms altogether. In each Devata Realm, there were no more than ten supreme Celestial Crystal’s veins. A supreme Celestial Crystal’s vein needed 10,000 years to produce a Divine Crystal. In other words, on average, each Devata Realm would need at least 1,000 years to produce one Divine Crystal! Despite its rarity and preciousness, Huan’er possessed one. Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘She’s definitely not that simple...’At this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang from outside.“Lyu Quan, the Clan Leader of the Lyu clan, is here along with our two old ancestors to meet with the Clan Leader of the Qi clan and Old Ancestor Qi!” The voice resounded throughout the Qi clan’s estate.

Qi Yun Sheng, the Clan Leader of Qi clan, narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought to himself, ‘It’s Lyu Quan! Those from the Lyu clan are here!’

Qi You, the Second Young Master of the Qi clan, looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes that glinted with delight as he said in a low voice, “My lords, the Lyu Clan is here to avenge the death of their Great Young Master, Lyu Wen Bin!” In his opinion, the Lyu clan was just seeking death by coming here.

Qi Yun Sheng, the Clan Leader of the Qi clan, and Old Ancestor Qi who were kneeling on the floor had the same thought as well. In fact, they even thought if Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were to kill those from the Lyu clan, the Qi clan would be able to dominate Qi Lyu City. At that time, Qi Lyu City would have to change its name to Qi City!

“Lyu Clan? Just in time!” Duan Ling Tian scoffed and rose to his feet immediately as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body. He used his Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, and seven-color sword rays began to appear. They began to multiply as he cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

“Sword Formation!”

“Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!”

Simultaneously, the tens of thousands of seven-color sword rays formed sword Formations that gradually merged into one Formation. The light from the sword Formation lit up the entire main hall in the Qi clan’s estate with seven-color lights.

‘How strong!’

‘This purple-clad young man is not weaker than an ordinary heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial!’

Qi Yun Sheng and Old Ancestor Qi thought to themselves, their hearts thumping wildly.

Qi Yun Sheng knew he would not win at all if he were to fight Duan Ling Tian. The most he could hope for was a tie between them.

‘He hid his strength earlier?’ It did not take long before Qi You and the elder discovered this.

Although Duan Ling Tian had unleashed his power, Qi Yun Sheng and Old Ancestor Qi did not put up their defenses. After all, they thought Duan Ling Tian’s attack was directed at the people from the Lyu clan. Moreover, the lady who was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial showed no signs of making a move. It was likely the duo did not intend to kill them.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

It was not until when the sword cries intensified and the seven-color sword Formation shot toward Qi Yun Sheng, Old Ancestor Qi, Qi You, and the elder that they realized Duan Ling Tian intended to kill them. Their expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively tried to resist. Alas, it was futile. Before they could even mobilize their Celestial Origin Energies, they were already killed!

At this moment, a river of blood flowed In the main hall of the Qi clan.

“Hm?” Huan’er was taken aback when she saw Duan Ling Tian killing the four men. She asked curiously, “Duan Ling Tian, didn’t you say not to kill them since they did not offend us? Moreover, they’d given in to our demands.”

“You...” Duan Ling Tian could tell Huan’er did not care about the bloodshed. She was more curious about why Duan Ling Tian had gone against what he had said earlier. He explained with a grave expression, “Yes. However, I had to kill them because they knew you possess a Divine Crystal! If word of this leaks out, it would only bring trouble to us. After all, many people would covet the Divine Crystal in your possession!”

Having lived two lives, Duan Ling Tian knew possessing something valuable could land one in trouble. For that reason, he had acted without any hesitation and killed the four men from the Qi clan to nip the problem in the bud. Initially, he had no intention of harming the people from the Qi clan since they had complied with his demands. However, the situation went out of his control when Huan’er revealed her Divine Crystal.

“Covet this?” Huan’er touched the pendant of her necklace as her expression turned icy-cold. “My mother gave this to me... I will kill whoever dares to come after it!”

“Huan’er, the world is vast.” Duan Ling Tian sighed. “There are a lot of powerful people in this world... You can’t stop them if they come after your things. Therefore, we have to keep this a secret for now.”

“Alright... Mother did tell me that there are many people stronger than her in this world as well. I’m not even as strong as my mother.” Huan’er nodded

“It’s better that you don’t open the circular contraption that hides your Divine Crystal. Even if some people might not be powerful enough to take them away from you, they could still spread word about it. Who knows if someone stronger would come looking for it? At that time, you can only watch as your Divine Crystal gets snatched away,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Alright.” Huan’er nodded obediently. She understood the severity of the matter.

In the meantime, Duan Ling Tian collected the Spatial Rings of the four men from the Qi clan. His eyes lit up when he saw the contents in the ring. “The old ancestor’s ring has hundreds of thousands of supreme Celestial Stones. There are hardly any low-grade stones. The clan leader also has tens of thousands of supreme Celestial Stones.”

As for Qi You and the elder’s Spatial Rings, Duan Ling Tian was not bothered with them.

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Huan’er and said, “Huan’er, let’s meet the people from the Lyu clan! We can earn Celestial Stones from them before leaving Qi Lyu City!”

Along with Huan’er, Duan Ling Tian flew out from the Qi Clan’s main hall. His eyes narrowed as a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

“Are we snatching their Celestial Stones?” Huan’er’s eyes brightened, her eagerness was apparent.

“Yes!” Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “However, how many Celestial Stones I can get out of them will have to depend on your performance. If you scare them enough, we can ask for any number of Celestial Stones.”

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er finally met with the people from the Lyu clan in the sky above the Qi clan’s estate.

Although the voice of the Clan Leader of the Lyu Clan had resounded throughout the entire Qi clan’s estate, no one else came out since they knew this matter could only be solved by their clan leader or old ancestor.

Upon seeing two unfamiliar figures, the people from the Lyu clan could not help but frown. “Who are you?” They had expected the Clan Leader of the Qi clan and the old ancestor to come out to greet them. They did not expect to see a young man and a young woman instead.

“A veiled woman?” Lyu Quan, the Clan Leader of the Lyu clan, narrowed his eyes as he recalled something. His eyes shone with killing intent as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. “You’re the ones who killed my son!”

Upon hearing this, the others from the Lyu clan looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er warily. After all, since the duo was bold enough to meet them, it either meant they were not afraid or they had a death wish! Based on the duo’s stance, it did not seem like they had a death wish.

“Are you the ones who killed my grandson, Lyu Wen Bin?” One of the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials of the Lyu Clan, Lyu Wen Bin’s grandfather, looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er as though he was going to kill them at any given moment!
