2701 Qin Yu’s Helplessness
“Shadow Void Escaping Talisman?” Qin Yu sighed in relief when he learned that Duan Ling Tian managed to escape. However, at the sa ti, he could not help but look at King Qin skeptically. After all, it was his first ti hearing about the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman.
“Shadow Void Escaping Talismans are Celestial Talismans that Celestial Kings inscribe with great difficulty. The success rate of inscribing one was quite low. Possessing a Shadow Void Escaping Talisman is the sa as one life-saving opportunity against a Celestial King or below. As long as your opponent is not stronger than a Celestial King, as long you’re able to activate it before they kill you, they can only watch helplessly as you escape...” King Qin explained as he looked at the old woman standing in the distance.
At this mont, the expression on the old lady’s wizened face was extrely sinister. She suddenly turned around and looked at King Qin pointedly as she asked, “The Shadow Void Escaping Talisman... Was it your work?” She looked as though she was ready to kill him as soon as he answered in the affirmative.
“Senior... Do you really think I possess a Shadow Void Escaping Talisman?” King Qin smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness. As the Lord of King Qin’s Mansion, he was usually aloof and revered by all. However, at this mont, this old man had to soften his attitude because the old lady was too strong. She was a Celestial Duke after all. It would be as easy as flipping a palm for her to kill him.
At this mont, most of the spectators also realized that Duan Ling Tian did not die.
“Duan Ling Tian didn’t die?”
“How’s that possible? He was shrouded in that terrifying energy, how could he not die?”
“How did he even survive?”
“Duan Ling Tian didn’t die. It seems like he used the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman!”
“The Shadow Void Escaping Talisman? That talisman can only be inscribed by Celestial Kings or those who are stronger. Moreover, the success rate of inscribing one by a Celestial King is less than 1%, right?”
“Right. It’s said if one uses the talisman, one can easily escape from Celestial Kings and those who are weaker. The talismans are extrely rare and precious.”
“These Celestial Talismans are a rarity even in a high-rank Celestial Kingdom. How did Duan Ling Tian get his hands on one?”
Everyone was shocked by the fact that Duan Ling Tian possessed a Shadow Void Celestial Talisman and had even used it to successfully and easily escape.
“It seems like Duan Ling Tian really didn’t co from a normal background. Not only did he escape the elite from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, but he had escaped using a priceless talisman like the Shadow Void Escaping Celestial Talismans. There’s no doubt he must be from an opposing faction of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!”
“You’re right. I wasn’t certain before. However, after seeing this, I’m convinced Duan Ling Tian’s from an opposing sect of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Moreover, the sect he’s from isn’t weak as well, and he must have a high status in the sect.”
“Exactly. Even in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, I’m certain disciples below 100 years old don’t have a Celestial Talisman as precious as the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman!”
At this mont, the old lady who was hovering above the arena turned her cold gaze to Qin Yu and asked with a sneer, “Earlier, you said he had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven less than five years ago?”
“Senior, I really didn’t lie to you.” Although he was in a predicant now, he was still glad Duan Ling Tian was able to successfully escape.
“How’s it possible for soone who had just ascended less than five years ago has strength comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial and also possesses a Shadow Void Escaping Celestial Talisman? Do you think I’m a fool?” The old lady’s voice and eyes turned increasingly cold, causing Qin Yu to turn pale and feel as though winter had arrived early.
“Senior, I’m really not lying to you.” The bitter smile on Qin Yu’s face deepened even more.
The old lady’s eyes did not look away from Qin Yu’s face, trying to see if he was lying. However, to her surprise, she discovered there were no signs of him lying. Even when she increased her pressure on him, he had unexpectedly remained steadfast and did not look the slightest bit guilty. This made her mood darken. ‘Is it possible that brat really only ascended less than five years ago? If it’s true, then, with his future potential, I’m afraid even our sect can’t deal with him later...’
The old lady knew it was not impossible for a peerless genius to appear in a Devata Realm and achieve strength comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in less than five years after his ascension. However, geniuses like that were extrely rare in all Devata Realms. This kind of monstrous genius usually received so inheritance, techniques, or weapons from a Devata Realm while they were in the mundane realms. From the get-go, these individuals had to be extraordinary. After all, there were many people in the mundane realms. Even if one obtained high-rank techniques or weapons from an outstanding faction in a Devata Realm, one might not necessarily be able to obtain strength comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial within five years after ascending while being younger than 100 years old.
Since Duan Ling Tian was less than 100 years old, there was no way he was a Bodiless Celestial when he ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. Bodiless Celestials instantly beca Golden Celestials as soon as they ascended while non-Bodiless Celestials beca Heavenly Celestials when they ascended.
“If I find out that you lied to in the future, I won’t only cut your body into 1,000 pieces, I’ll grind your bones to dust, and let the entire King Qin’s Mansion accompany you to your grave!” the old lady said to Qin Yu icily. As soon as she finished speaking, her body blurred for a fleeting mont before she disappeared without a trace
Let alone the high-ranking officials from King Qin’s Mansion, the old lady’s parting words caused King Qin and the Third Prince’s expressions to change greatly as well. All of them, without any exception, felt that Qin Yu had lied to the old lady. After all, they did not think it was possible that Duan Ling Tian had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven less than five years ago?
“Qin Yu must think he’s so smart for successfully lying to the old lady. I’m afraid he’s going to drag the entire King Qin’s Mansion down to hell with him...”
“He’s really too much. How can soone who’s younger than 100 years old and had only ascended less than five years ago possess this kind of strength?”
“That Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s elite had already warned that she would kill him and everyone in King Qin’s Mansion if she finds out that he’s lying...”
“This Qin Yu is simply a jinx to King Qin’s Mansion. As soon as he returns, he puts the mansion in unprecedented danger. Moreover, the level of danger is the threat of annihilation.”
In the surroundings, everyone in the VIP areas, except for Flying Dragon Sect, began to bla and condemn Qin Yu. They all thought he was the cause of King Qin’s Mansion being on the verge of annihilation. Even the mbers of King Qin’s Mansion felt the sa.
“Qin’er, you...” King Qin and the Third Prince only looked at Qin Yu with a helpless expression on their faces. If it had been their sons or daughters who brought such danger to King Qin’s Mansion, they would have already slapped their children at the very least! However, Qin Yu was their fourth brother’s son.
“Eldest uncle, third uncle... Since the elite from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect has left, is there still a need for to lie to you? Duan Ling Tian truly only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven less than five years ago,” Qin Yu could only explain bitterly as he saw the apprehension in King Qin and the Third Prince’s eyes. He did not bla them for having a hard ti believing his words. After all, it truly sounded far fetched. He did not dwell on the old lady’s warning since he had a clear conscience and did not lie.
“Qin’er, you’re really telling the truth?” The Third Prince frowned. He did not expect his nephew would continue to insist that Duan Ling Tian had only ascended less than five years ago. It was just like Qin Yu said, now that the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had left, there was no need for Qin Yu to lie to them.
Qin Yu studied the surroundings before he said, “Eldest uncle, third uncle, why don’t you deal with the matters here first? I’ll tell you all I know about Duan Ling Tian once you’re done attending to your businesses.” There were too many people around, which ant there were many ears around. He had no intention of revealing Duan Ling Tian’s secrets in front of so many people. Previously, he had brought up that Duan Ling Tian had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven less than five years ago in hopes of convincing the old lady that she had found the wrong person. Let alone having enmity, how did Duan Ling Tian and the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s paths even intersect? However, afterward, when Duan Ling Tian ntioned a girl nad Mu Rong Bing, he knew then that the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect did not mistake Duan Ling Tian for soone else.
However, apart from that, he had no idea what caused the hostility between the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and Duan Ling Tian, and Qin Yu had no idea Duan Ling Tian had a Shadow Void Escaping Talisman inscribed by Celestial Kings. If he had known this, he would have never outed the fact that Duan Ling Tian had only ascended less than five years ago if he had known this. After all, because of the reveal, he had brought on more danger to Duan Ling Tian.
