The black-clad man wearing a grimace mask was none other than Jing Yuan, the second strongest powerhouse in the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in Windfall Nation.
Jing Yuan's strength was only inferior to Hong Zhen, the leader of the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in Windfall Nation. Hong Zhen was a Devil Cultivator. If Jing Yuan obtained the Devilseal Tablet, Hong Zhen would not be a match for him at all.
Due to this reason, Jing Yuan desired the Devilseal Tablet so much.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Everyone in King Qian's estate was, naturally, powerless when faced with Jing Yuan.
What a joke!
Jing Yuan was a powerhouse at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. Even in the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family, there was only one person who was qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as him.
In front of such a powerhouse, the group of Saint Stage powerhouses in King Qian's estate were as docile as a group of cats under King Qian's leadership. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Senior, I've already sworn on the lightning penalty oath that the Devilseal Tablet is really not in my hands … During these few days, I've thought about it carefully. It should be that the Devilseal Tablet has some other special ability that allows Duan Ling Tian to retrieve it from afar."
King Qian smiled wryly as he told Jing Yuan.
"Duan Lingtian?"
Jing Yuan's face that was hidden under the grimace mask turned grave immediately. His eyes gleamed coldly. "Do you know where he is now?"
"To be honest with you, senior, we've been looking for him these few days as well. However, we didn't manage to find any clues at all. I'm guessing he must have left the capital that day. Currently, there are many people looking for him in Windfall Nation. After a while, when the news spread out, I'm afraid there will be even more people looking for him. At that time, I'm afraid there won't be a place for him in Windfall Nation. "
King Qian speculated, "It's very likely that he'll choose to leave Windfall Nation."
Jing Yuan agreed with King Qian's words.
Once the news of the Devilseal Tablet spread out, it would indeed attract many powerhouses to Windfall Nation.
"According to what you said, Duan Lingtian cooperated and gave the Devilseal Tablet to you that day. With your relationship with him, it's impossible for him to be so kind, right?"
Jing Yuan asked.
"Yes. That Duan Lingtian wouldn't have left so easily if he had wanted to kill me and check my Storage Ring … Now that I think about it, he must have deliberately given me the Windfall Nation in order to attract everyone's attention, and he quietly left when everyone's attention was on me. "
The more King Qian thought about it, the more certain he became. "This means the Devilseal Tablet must be in his hands! I'm sure! "
Jing Yuan's eyes flashed. He was silent for a moment and did not speak.
At this moment, King Qian and the group of Saint Stage powerhouses behind him looked anxious. They were afraid Jing Yuan would kill them if he was unhappy.
They already knew Jing Yuan's strength now.
When Jing Yuan arrived, Situ Ming had directly attacked Jing Yuan in order to flatter King Qian. The result was obvious. Situ Ming was killed in one move! From beginning to end, Jing Yuan did not even move at all. He just used the power of his domain to insta-kill Situ Ming.
He was able to kill an Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator with such a technique.
Without a doubt, Jing Yuan was a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!
The group of Saint Stage powerhouses in King Qian's estate could confirm this. Due to this reason, they were well-behaved in front of Jing Yuan and did not dare to cross the line.
Whoosh!
When King Qian and the others saw Jing Yuan suddenly raising his hand, horror dawned on them. They thought Jing Yuan was going to attack them.
"Senior, I …"
King Qian was just about to open his mouth and beg for mercy when he saw the scene in front of him. He knew he had misunderstood the situation.
The black-clad man wearing a grimace mask did not intend to attack them. He raised his hand and took out a rolled-up portrait.
"Look at this. Isn't the person in this portrait the Duan Lingtian you've seen before?"
As Jing Yuan spoke, he unfolded the portrait.
He had copied this portrait from the portrait in the hands of the leader of the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in Windfall Nation. It was a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament. He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes. At first glance, he gave off a refreshing feeling.
After unfolding the portrait, Jing Yuan looked at King Qian and asked indifferently, "Is this him?"
"It's him! That's right! It's him! "
King Qian quickly nodded after taking a look at it. At the same time, he took out a portrait and unfolded it. "Senior, look at this portrait of mine."
After unfolding the portrait, there was also a young man in it. He was at least 90% similar to the young man in the portrait in Jing Yuan's hand. With just a glance, one could tell the two young men in the portrait were the same person.
"As expected! He's the person our Mountainshade Black Market is looking for! "
Jing Yuan's breathing quickened when he looked at the portrait in King Qian's hand.
After a few moments, Jing Yuan looked at King Qian and asked indifferently, "Do you know if Duan Lingtian has any relatives or friends in Windfall Nation?"
"I only know that Duan Lingtian is very close to Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan. Apart from that, he brought a group of people to settle down in the Situ Clan. Those people are currently staying in the Situ Clan."
King Qian told him everything he knew. Faced with a powerhouse like Jing Yuan, he did not dare to conceal anything nor did he dare to exaggerate anything. Who knew if he would offend Jing Yuan or not?
If Jing Yuan was unhappy and wanted to kill him, he would not know who he could turn to for help.
"Situ Clan?"
Upon hearing the information King Qian provided, Jing Yuan's eyes lit up. He left King Qian's estate in a flash and came to the Situ Clan again.
"Senior."
When Situ Hao saw the Refined Saint Stage powerhouse who was wearing a grimace mask had returned, he felt anxious as well. He had a respectful expression on his face.
"I heard that your son, Situ Hang, is very close to Duan Lingtian? Apart from that, Duan Lingtian even brought a group of people to settle down in the Situ Clan? "
Jing Yuan asked as he glanced at Situ Hao indifferently.
Faced with the domineering Jing Yuan, although Situ Hao did not want his son and Duan Lingtian's relatives and friends to meet Jing Yuan, he did not have a choice at this moment.
If he offended Jing Yuan, the entire Situ Clan would be in danger.
Fortunately, as a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse, Jing Yuan did not make things difficult for Situ Hang, Bai Li Hong, and the others.
After the few of them swore on the lightning penalty oath that they really did not know where Duan Lingtian was, Jing Yuan left. The lightning penalty oath was enough to prove if a person was lying or not.
If Duan Lingtian was here, he would definitely heave a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate he did not tell Bai Li Hong and the others where he was going. Otherwise, they would definitely be put in a difficult position. Even if they chose to die, they would not betray him.
When Jing Yuan left the capital of Windfall Nation, the news of a person who seemed to be a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse coming to King Qian's estate and forcing King Qian to swear on the lightning penalty oath spread out.
Naturally, most people's attention was on the lightning penalty oath King Qian swore on the lightning penalty oath.
"King Qian swore on the lightning penalty oath that he did not obtain the Devilseal Tablet at all?"
Many people were stunned when they heard the news.
"What a joke! A few days ago, I saw Duan Lingtian passing the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian with my own eyes. King Qian had also put the Devilseal Tablet away in his Spatial Ring. Now, King Qian is saying he did not obtain the Devilseal Tablet? Who would believe that? "
Some people could not help but curse out loud.
"Then, how do you explain the lightning penalty oath? If one goes against the lightning penalty oath, nobody will be able to escape the punishment of the lightning penalty oath. "
"That's right! I think King Qian must be telling the truth. Otherwise, he would've been killed by the lightning penalty by now. "
…
As time passed, the news of King Qian swearing on the lightning penalty oath was verified. Even those who did not believe King Qian did not obtain the Devilseal Tablet had no choice but to accept this fact.
After accepting this fact, they could not help but think of Duan Lingtian.
"That day, Duan Lingtian passed the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian, and King Qian put the Devilseal Tablet away in his Spatial Ring. At the very least, in our eyes, King Qian had put the Devilseal Tablet away. From the beginning until the end, our attention was focused on King Qian. It was to the extent that we did not notice Duan Lingtian at all. We didn't even know when Duan Lingtian left. "
"That's right. That was indeed the case at that time. Now that I think about it, all of this must be one of Duan Lingtian's schemes! He must have a way to retrieve the Devilseal Tablet from afar. That's why he purposely created the illusion that King Qian obtained the Devilseal Tablet to divert our attention so that he could leave. "
"If that's the case, Duan Lingtian is really terrifying. Under such circumstances, he can still think of a way to deal with it so calmly. After all, if he made a single mistake, he would've been doomed eternally! "
"Indeed. As long as King Qian checked the Spatial Ring and swore on the lightning penalty oath that he did not obtain the Devilseal Tablet, everyone's attention would've shifted back to Duan Lingtian. It would've been impossible for Duan Lingtian to leave. "
…
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the capital of Windfall Nation. Many people admired Duan Lingtian from the bottom of their hearts.
They knew they might not be able to escape unscathed under such circumstances.
However, Duan Lingtian did it.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was unaware of everything that happened in the capital of Windfall Nation. At this moment, he had already left Windfall Nation and entered the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion's district.
Naturally, even Windfall Nation was considered a part of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion's district. To be more precise, Duan Lingtian had entered the central district of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion's district.
There were no sixth-rate Saint Nations here. There were only sixth-rate clans and sixth-rate sects.
Naturally, the strongest force here was still the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
Not only was the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion a general name for a district in the Dao Martial Saint Land, but it also represented a powerful fifth-rate force that ruled a district.
Naturally, to Duan Lingtian, the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion was merely a passerby on his journey.
His destination was the Greenwave Han Mansion.
Similar to the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, the Greenwave Han Mansion was also a powerful fifth-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land that ruled a district.
Sou!
A figure flew across the sky. It was none other than Duan Lingtian.
