The Third Prince took a deep breath, then coldly swept the remaining young geniuses with his gaze and said indifferently, "Everyone, today's banquet ends here. You can all disperse."
The group of youths noticed the Third Prince's suppressed rage, and they respectfully replied before turning around and leaving.
After walking out of the building at the center of the lake, Duan Lingtian let go of Princess Bi Yao's hand and smiled apologetically. "Princess, I've offended you."
Princess Bi Yao's heart trembled.
Even she didn't know why, but when Duan Lingtian let go of her hand, a trace of disappointment faintly arose in her heart.
"It's fine."
Princess Bi Yao lightly shook her head, and her cheeks were still crimson red.
A pair of golden boy and jade girl began to leisurely stroll around the artificial lake ….
"I apologize on behalf of Third Brother for today's matter … Third Brother wasn't like this in the past, and I don't know why he would target you like this."
Princess Bi Yao lightly sighed.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a slight arc.
Even he didn't know why the Third Prince would target him like this …
How could he have known that the Third Prince had a suspicious nature, and after seeing how unfathomable he was and feeling unable to control him, the Third Prince subconsciously believed that Chen Xi was a threat and wanted to get rid of him.
Sometimes, as a member of the imperial family, it was that simple to get rid of a person, and no reason was required.
Subsequently, the two of them didn't speak as they silently circled around the man-made lake.
"Alright, Princess, I should return as well."
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile to Princess Bi Yao. He had a rather good impression of this kind-hearted young girl.
"Okay."
Princess Bi Yao lightly nodded, then asked, "Will we meet again in the future?"
"There will be a chance."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then turned around and left.
Looking at Duan Lingtian's disappearing figure from afar, Princess Bi Yao heaved a sigh of relief and faintly sighed …
"Bi Yao, you can't like him."
Unknowingly, a figure had appeared beside Princess Bi Yao.
"Third Brother, why?"
Princess Bi Yao looked at the Third Prince, and a trace of unwillingness appeared within her eyes.
"He's not suitable for you."
The Third Prince's answer was extremely simple.
"Not suitable?"
Bitterness surfaced on the corners of Princess Bi Yao's mouth as she shook her head. Soon after, her voice became much colder. "Thank you third brother for your hospitality these past few days. I will return to the imperial palace early in the morning tomorrow. Third brother, please help me prepare."
The Third Prince frowned.
He could tell that his sister had really fallen for that young man.
"Uncle Hu, clean it up. I don't want to leave any trouble behind."
Suddenly, the Third Prince opened his mouth, as if he was talking to the air.
"Yes!"
An aged voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, an aged figure disappeared into the darkness of the night.
After Duan Lingtian left the Third Prince's mansion, he went back to his own house.
"I didn't expect my charm to be so great …"
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
He was naturally able to see the 'feelings' that Princess Bi Yao revealed when she looked at him.
However, he didn't have any other intentions towards Princess Bi Yao.
Perhaps it was because of Princess BiYao's complicated identity, or perhaps it was because of the two little girls at home.
"I'll leave everything to fate …"
Shaking his head, Duan Lingtian didn't think about it any further.
After spending half an hour, Duan Lingtian had already walked half the distance. Now, he took a shortcut and walked into a remote alley.
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that the two little pythons under his sleeve were slightly restless.
Instantly, Duan Lingtian stopped moving with a vigilant expression.
Right at this moment, his formidable Spiritual Force faintly noticed that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him from the shadows ….
"Who is it?"
Duan Lingtian's expression couldn't help but change.
"Not bad. You're only at the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage, yet you're able to notice my existence …. Needless to say, you're very special."
A hoarse voice sounded from the other end of the alley. Under the moonlight, the old man's face was completely revealed before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
"It's you!"
Duan Lingtian's expression changed.
Wasn't the old man that stood behind the Third Prince tonight the same old man that stood behind the Third Prince?
"If I'm not wrong, there ought to be some secrets on your body …. Even my Origin Energy condensed into sound was actually unable to harm you. It's truly strange."
The old man slowly walked closer with a pair of eyes that flickered with a bright light and emitted a strange sheen.
"The Third Prince sent you here?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath. Relying on the experience of Samsara Emperor Wu and his Spiritual Force that was comparable to a Nascent Soul martial artist, he was able to faintly sense the old man's cultivation ….
Although this old man was inferior to the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, he wasn't easy to deal with.
He was at least a seventh level Core Formation martial artist, or even an eighth level Core Formation martial artist!
The old man didn't answer Duan Lingtian and continued to slowly walk closer.
"I want to know the reason."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered with a fierce light as he spoke in a suppressed and low voice.
"The reason is …. You're too showy, causing his highness to feel threatened! Also, you shouldn't have profaned the princess. "
The old man's voice seemed as if it came from the depths of hell and emitted a bone-piercing coldness.
Showy?
Shouldn't have profaned the princess?
This is also a reason?
Duan Lingtian's face sank. What was the difference between the Third Prince's actions and disregard for human life?
Before this, although he realized that the Third Prince might not like him, he never imagined that the Third Prince would want his life ….
Slight anger appeared on Duan Lingtian's face.
Then, Duan Lingtian's icy cold gaze descended onto the old man as he coldly said, "I'll give you a chance, leave as soon as possible …. Otherwise, you'll die without a doubt!"
Duan Lingtian only had two Bone Corrosion Inscriptions in his possession that could annihilate an ordinary Nascent Soul martial artist, and he wasn't willing to waste one.
That was a few millions of silver!
Even if he only used one, his heart would ache for a long time.
So, he gave the old man a chance now. If the old man didn't know what was good for him, then no matter how much his heart ached, for the sake of his life, he would still use the Bone Corrosion Inscription and annihilate the old man!
If money is gone, it can be earned again ….
If one's life is gone, then there's nothing left!
"Shameless boasting! Let me see how you take my life. "
The old man sneered. Obviously, he didn't take Duan Lingtian's words to heart, and only thought that Duan Lingtian was deliberately mystifying and stalling for time.
Suddenly, the old man moved.
Swift like a bolt of lightning, attacking like the wind, as if transforming into a roc that flashed straight towards Duan Lingtian!
Duan Lingtian felt a formidable aura sweep over, pressuring him to the point he couldn't catch his breath and was on the verge of suffocating ….
He could vaguely see that above the old man, 1,100 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form!
"Eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!"
Duan Lingtian's face sank.
Bang!
The old man slapped out with his palm, and his Origin Energy slowly condensed to gradually condense into form ….
"Hmph! Since you want to seek death, then I'll fulfill your wish! "
Duan Lingtian grunted coldly, his hand flashed past his waist, and the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword whistled out ….
At the instant the old man's palm condensed into form, Duan Lingtian activated the Bone Devouring Inscription on the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword as well!
Om!
Instantly, a strand of grey flowing light leaped about on the body of the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword, and the flowing light was swift like a bolt of lightning as it flashed out.
"No!"
The old man's pupils constricted, and at the instant he reacted, the grey flowing light had already pierced into his body.
In an instant.
"Ah!"
The old man's shrill and miserable cry caused even Duan Lingtian to be unable to help but feel a chill run down his spine when he heard it ….
This Bone Devouring Inscription was too overbearing!
In the next moment, the old man's shrill cries stopped abruptly, and his body trembled as the Origin Energy in his body completely dispersed.
Not only that, the old man's body seemed to have suddenly transformed into a pile of mud, instantly collapsing, and the bones in his entire body were completely corroded, transforming into nothingness.
Even though Duan Lingtian had killed many people, he still felt nauseous at this moment ….
It was the first time he'd seen someone die in such a way!
It was equivalent to the bones in his entire body turning into ashes, and only his skin and flesh remained ….
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian wasn't willing to take another look, and he directly ignited his Pill Flame, burning the old man's miserable corpse into ashes.
In the end, Duan Lingtian found the old man's Spatial Ring from the ashes, and only then did he leave.
On the way, Duan Lingtian claimed ownership of the Spatial Ring.
"F * * k!"
When Duan Lingtian saw everything within the Spatial Ring, his face flushed red, and he couldn't help but curse.
Within the Spatial Ring, a large pile of silver bills were neatly arranged, and most of them were silver bills with a denomination of 10,000 silver ….
Duan Lingtian roughly estimated that the silver bills piled up within the Spatial Ring added up to at least 70 to 80 million silver!
"He wouldn't be the manager of the Third Prince's estate, right?"
Duan Lingtian was overjoyed in his heart as he guessed in his heart.
"Third Prince, you've given me a generous gift this time."
Duan Lingtian's face was suffused with a smile. "Luckily, this old fellow wasn't scared off by me earlier. Otherwise, I would have brushed shoulders with these 70 to 80 million silver bills …."
Thinking of what happened earlier, Duan Lingtian had a lingering fear in his heart.
He could imagine that if the old man knew of Duan Lingtian's current thoughts, even if he were to walk on the road to the netherworld, he would surely not be at peace.
"A single 'Bone Eroding Inscription' is worth at most three million taels of silver … I've made a huge profit from this deal!"
On the way back, Duan Lingtian beamed with joy.
Over 3 million silver in exchange for 70 to 80 million silver bills was a sizable profit, and it was one of a kind.
"That Duan Ru Lei is in charge of so many properties of the Duan Clan. He surely has a shocking amount of wealth in his hands …. If he doesn't have eyes and still comes looking for trouble with me, then don't blame me for not showing mercy."
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a sneer, and a trace of greed arose within his eyes.
Tonight's matter had undoubtedly allowed him to taste the sweetness ….
"And that Fifth Prince, his family's manager surely has a lot of money, right?"
As he muttered to himself, Duan Lingtian realized that he had returned to the entrance of his home.
Because Duan Lingtian had been notified beforehand, the three beauties at home weren't too worried about him …. However, after Duan Lingtian returned, the two little girls still gathered around him, inquiring about what happened at the banquet with curious expressions.
Duan Lingtian naturally wouldn't tell them the truth, or else they would be worried again.
