War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The capital of Windfall Nation was bustling with excitement due to Duan Ling Tian accepting Lin Dong’s challenge.

Everyone was only talking about one thing. When news of this battle spread out, it was destined to garner everyone’s attention.

Although Lin Dong was not from Windfall Nation, the people from Windfall Nation had long heard of his name. They knew he was the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. He was also the lineal disciple of a powerful sixth-rate force in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. This honor caused him to be widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Saint Stage, the Saint Rudiment Stage, in Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion!

Although Duan Ling Tian’s name had only begun to spread in Windfall Nation in the past couple of months, his strength was widely acknowledged by the people of Windfall Nation as well. This was because he had defeated Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect.

Before Duan Ling Tian had appeared, Lady Feng was widely acknowledged as the strongest powerhouse among the younger generation in Windfall Nation. When she was defeated by Duan Ling Tian, the people of Windfall Nation was already certain she possessed the strength to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, and yet, Duan Ling Tian managed to defeat her.

Based on the opinion of the people of Windfall Nation, it would not be difficult for him if he wanted to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.

When they heard that Lin Dong, the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking had come to Windfall Nation to challenge Duan Ling Tian, they began to realize Duan Ling Tian was not a simple person.

Who was Lin Dong?

The strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking!

Duan Ling Tian might possess the strength to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, but his current rank was only at the 23rd place.

It was the first time in the history of Southern Ridge Yuan for the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking to issue a challenge to someone ranked at the 23rd place.

“I wonder when will the battle between Master Duan and that powerhouse from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion take place? I can’t wait!”

“I hope the battle will be open to the public so that I’ll be able to personally watch it!”

“That’s right! If it’s held in the palace, we won’t be able to watch at all.”

Soon after, the people in the capital of Windfall Nation began to worry about the venue of the battle between Duan Ling Tian and Lin Dong. After all, it had to do with whether they would be able to personally watch it or not.

In the main palace of King Qian’s estate.

King Qian looked Lin Dong as he asked, “Master Lin, that Duan Ling Tian is very arrogant. He said it’s up to you to decide the date and the venue. Do you wish for the battle to be held inside or outside the palace? If it’s held inside, there won’t be many people watching the fight. If it’s held outside, I’m afraid it won’t just be people from the capital who would come to watch, even people from outside the capital would come as well.”

“Naturally, it should be held outside.” Lin Dong snorted. “Since he dares to accept my challenge, I’ll humiliate him in front of everybody!”

“Master Lin, our deal is for you to kill him!” King Qian frowned.

“Relax! After I humiliate him, I’ll kill him immediately and give you his Spatial Ring!” Lin Dong said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, King Qian breathed a sigh of relief before asking again, “Master Lin, when do you want the battle to take place?”

“Tomorrow. After this matter is dealt with, I’ll have to return to the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion,” Lin Dong answered.

“Alright,” King Qian responded before turning to look at Situ Ming who was sitting on the seat on his right. “Second Master Ming, as for the venue of the battle, I’ll let you arrange it. Let me know by this afternoon.”

“Yes, Imperial Highness, King Qian.” Situ Ming quickly responded. He was delighted.

Initially, after he had defected to King Qian’s faction, he was not highly regarded by King Qian. It made him feel frustrated for his talent to be wasted.

However, due to the method he had thought of that successfully made Duan Ling Tian accept Lin Dong’s challenge, King Qian finally regarded him highly. He felt delighted, and he thought it was a very good start.

As for Ye Feng who was standing at the side, his expression was extremely grave.

However, when he saw King Qian had shifted his attention to him, Ye Feng quickly changed his expression to a respectful one.

“Ye Feng, spread the news that Master Lin has decided to battle Duan Ling Tian tomorrow. As for the venue, spread it out after Second Master Ming has decided on a place. However, when you spread the news, let the people know that the battle will take place outside of the palace, and everyone is allowed to come and watch!” King Qian told Ye Feng.

“Yes, Fourth Imperial Highness.” Ye Feng was inwardly annoyed. This was a task that could be carried out by an errand boy, but King Qian had asked him to do it. Moreover, he had given Situ Ming such an important task.

Ye Feng knew his position in King Qian’s heart was no longer as high as Situ Ming. ‘I can’t continue on like this… I must think of a way to increase my position in King Qian’s heart. Damn it! If it wasn’t for the fact that King Qian has forced me to swear by the lightning penalty oath that I can’t spread the news about the Devilseal Tablet, there’s no need for me to stay here and endure this treatment.”

At this moment, Ye Feng felt a little regretful. He regretted telling King Qian about the Devilseal Tablet.

“If I had known about this, I would’ve given this information to the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. It would’ve been easy for them to destroy Duan Ling Tian. There’s no need for us to go to such lengths. Moreover, King Qian had promised me to let me kill Duan Ling Tian with my own hands, but he had broken his promise because of the Devilseal Tablet.’ Ye Feng found the last part of his thoughts the most annoying.

Duan Ling Tian had used the Devilseal Tablet to kill the Supreme Elder of the Dark Nether Sect and forced him to run away. On top of that, he had caused the sect to only exist in name. It was undoubtedly a great humiliation to him.

In his opinion, it would not be counted as revenge if he did not get to kill Duan Ling Tian with his own hands.

However, he had completely lost the power to negotiate. Due to this reason, he regretted telling King Qian about the Devilseal Tablet.

However, since things had already escalated to this extent, Ye Feng knew it was useless even if he felt regretful. There was no cure for regret in this world.

When Ye Feng spread the news of the battle, the people in the capital of Windfall Nation broke out in an uproar again. “It’ll be held outside the palace tomorrow? Everyone’s allowed to watch the battle?”

“Haha… Good! Good! To think I was worried it’ll be held in the palace. It seems like I was thinking too much!”

“The battle between Master Duan and the strongest powerhouse of the Heaven Ranking must be very interesting! Unfortunately, the venue will only be announced this afternoon. Otherwise, I’ll go there now to secure a place for myself!”

When the capital of Windfall Nation was still in an uproar, another exciting news was spread by King Qian’s estate.

“The battle between Lin Dong and Duan Ling Tian will be a Death Duel! It’s not over until one of them dies!” When the news spread in the capital of Windfall Nation, the entire place fell silent.

Death Duel?

Everybody was shocked by these two words.

It did not cross their minds that the powerhouse from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion would want to have a Death Duel with Duan Ling Tian.
