War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Well, who said you didn’t get any Celestial Stones from them? After you killed them, I took their Spatial Rings. All the Celestial Stones they owned are in there. Huan’er, do you know what Spatial Rings are?” When Duan Ling Tian realized Huan’er did not know about Spatial Rings, he began to patiently explain to her what they were and the method of establishing and removing ownership of a Spatial Ring. At the same time, he gave her a Spatial Ring and said with a smile, “Take this… There are 10,000 prominent Celestial Stones in this Spatial Ring.”

“Okay.” Huan’er wore the Spatial Ring on her finger and stared at it as though it was some rare treasure. It seemed as though the ring was even more important than Duan Ling Tian.

When they finally arrived at the Qi clan, Qi You said, “Please wait here. I’ll go and get my father to meet both of you.” As soon as he finished speaking, he took his leave.

The elder who had followed Qi You out stayed behind to serve the duo. He instructed a servant from the Qi clan to wait on them while Qi You went to look for his father, the Clan Leader of the Qi clan.

…

Meanwhile, the Lyu clan was in chaos.

“Great Young Master died?!”

“He was killed by an outsider?”

“Is it possible that the outsiders are hired by the Qi clan?”

The father of Lyu Wen Bin, the Clan Leader of the Lyu clan, had called for an emergency meeting with the high-ranking officials of the clan as soon as he discovered his son’s death. Even the old ancestor, the former clan leader, was summoned. Similar to the Qi clan, the Lyu clan had two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials; one of them was the clan leader’s father and the other was the old ancestor of the Lyu clan who had the highest seniority in the clan.

“What?! Bin’Er is dead?!” Lyu Wen Bin’s grandfather was furious when he learned of Lyu Wen Bin’s death. He was eager to rush to the Qi clan to avenge his grandchild.

“Old ancestor… What do we do now?” The current clan leader did not bother to seek the advice of the high-ranking officials, he instantly directed his question to the old ancestor. After all, nobody would object to the old ancestor’s decision.

“Your father and I will go to the Qi Clan with you… If that person is still there, we will kill him to avenge your son. If he’s gone, we’ll demand an explanation from the Qi clan… However, be prepared that you might have to let the matter go…” the Lyu clan’s old ancestor said as he looked at the current Clan Leader of the Lyu Clan.

“I understand.” The Clan Leader of the Lyu clan nodded with a bitter expression on his face.

Even if there was evidence of the Qi clan hiring someone to murder his son, it would nigh impossible for the clan to go all out against the Qi clan, let alone that they did not any concrete evidence right now. If they were to wage a war against the Qi clan, both sides would only suffer losses, and outsiders would only benefit from it. Naturally, this was not an outcome the Lyu and Qi clans wanted. If they had concrete evidence that the Qi clan hired someone to kill their Great Young Master, they could force the Qi clan to hand over Qi You without waging a war. The Qi clan would have to pay for their crime with Qi You’s life.

“It’s good that you understand it,” the Lyu clan’s old ancestor said, “In that case, let’s make our way to the Qi clan now. The more we delay this, the higher the chances that the murderers have already left.”

“Alright.” The Clan Leader of the Lyu clan nodded. Along with his father and the old ancestor, he brought a few strong elders with him to the Qi clan’s estate.

…

In the Qi clan’s estate.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was seated next to Huan’er.

Apart from the elder who had followed Qi You out, Qi You and two other men were present as well. One was dressed in luxurious robes, and he was a middle-aged man with a jade-like complexion. He had a majestic air about him as well. The other man was dressed in a long grey robe. His hair and eyebrows were white, but he looked young.

All four men from the Qi clan, at this moment, were begging on their knees. Their heads were lowered as their bodies trembled. They could feel the cold that permeated the air at this moment.

‘An Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! The lady with a veil covering her face is an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!’ Qi You thought to himself with a frightened expression on his face. He had lost his dignified appearance as the Young Master of the Qi clan at this moment. Initially, he had thought that with his father, the Clan Leader of the Qi clan, and their old ancestor present, he would not have to pay 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones to Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er even if they could not kill the duo.

However, when Qi You’s father and the old ancestor arrived at the main hall with their Celestial Origin Energies surging furiously from their bodies, they used their Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s strength. Alas, all Huan’er did was slightly lift her hand, and a cold breeze immediately froze his father and the old ancestor from the waist down. They could not even move an inch! Only when Duan Ling Tian had spoken to Huan’er did she release his father and the old ancestor.

As soon as they were released, the Clan Leader and old ancestor of the Qi clan fell to the ground, and their movements became sluggish from the extreme cold. When they regained their senses, they hurriedly kneeled before Huan’er and profusely apologized.

Upon seeing this, Qi You and the Qi clan’s elder fell to their knees as well and began to apologize. Both of them were horrified when they discovered the woman was stronger than all of them.

“We didn’t know you’re an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Please forgive our transgression!”

‘I really didn’t think that Huan’er is an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!’ Duan Ling Tian had assumed Huan’er was a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial, but, he was not overly surprised to find out she was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Finally, he looked at Qi You and said indifferently, “1,000,000 Prominent Rank Celestial Stones… Have you prepared it? Don’t forget about the map as well.”

“I… I’ll prepare it now…” Qi You answered hastily as he looked at his father, the Clan Leader of the Qi clan.

The Clan Leader of the Qi clan hurriedly produced a Spatial Ring with the number of Celestial Stones Duan Ling Tian had requested and passed it to Duan Ling Tian. He said, “My lord, there are 300,000 prominent Celestial Stones and 70,000 supreme Celestial Stones.”

“70,000 supreme Celestial Stones?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. He checked the content of the Spatial Ring before claiming ownership of it. “Right. There are 70,000 supreme Celestial Stones.”

“Duan Ling Tian, what are supreme Celestial Stones? Didn’t you ask for 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Stones? Why did he only give us 370,000 Celestial Stones?” Although Huan’er was not wise to the ways of the world, she knew basic mathematics since her mother had taught it to her.

The four men from the Qi clan were bewildered when they heard Huan’er’s question.

The Clan Leader of the Qi clan stammered, “M-my lord… I… I…” His body shook violently when he spoke. He thought Huan’er was intentionally looking for trouble with him! After all, one supreme Celestial Stone equaled ten prominent Celestial Stones. This was general knowledge in Devata Realms. How could there be anyone who did not know this is?

“Clan Leader Qi, there’s no need to be nervous… She’s unaware that one supreme Celestial Stone equals ten prominent Celestial Stones.”

The Clan Leader of the Qi clan sighed in relief upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. At the same time, he was baffled and somewhat skeptical that an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial was unaware of this fact.

“Huan’er…” Duan Ling Tian began to patiently explain to Huan’er after he turned to look at her.
