The nine snow-white horses looked no different from ordinary horses in the mundane realms. However, upon closer inspection, one could see the aura of Celestial Origin Energy emanating from these horses.
Clearly, these horses were Celestial Beasts.
In the Devata Realms, Celestial Beasts were divided into Celestial Beasts that had gained sentience and Celestial Beasts that had yet to gain sentience.
Celestial Beasts possessed sentience that was not inferior to humans and could transform into humans. They cultivated like humans and were no different from humans.
Celestial Beasts that had yet to gain sentience could only rely on their instincts to survive. Even their cultivation base was dependent on their instincts to cultivate and were raised by humans.
For example, the nine horses that pulled the roofless carriage in front of Duan Lingtian were raised by King Qin's Mansion. Each of them had a cultivation base equivalent to a Violet Moon Golden Celestial.
The nine horses pulled the carriage at a speed that was not inferior to an ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
'He's King Qin?'
Duan Lingtian's eyes glinted under his black robe as he looked at the middle-aged man dressed in a long purple-gold robe who was sitting on the roofless carriage.
The middle-aged man had a jade-like complexion and a tall stature. As he sat there, he emitted waves of majestic aura, suppressing the majestic aura emitted by the County Governors from all over the Duke of Qin's Mansion.
In the face of the middle-aged man's imposing aura, the auras of the County Governors from the various counties under King Qin's Mansion were not worth mentioning at all.
They were on completely different levels.
"It's King Qin!"
"King Qin is here!"
…
After the appearance of the roofless carriage, which was pulled by nine white horses, the group of people present immediately became restless.
"Greetings, Lord King Qin!"
"Greetings, Lord King Qin!"
…
A moment later, the people from the sixteen counties under the command of the Duke of Qin's Mansion bowed respectfully to the Duke of Qin.
The people in the VIP seats cupped their fists together and bowed at King Qin as well. "Greetings, King Qin."
Even Duan Ling Tian followed the other people from the Flying Dragon Sect and cupped his hands at King Qin as a form of greeting.
If there was one person who was indifferent to the appearance of King Qin, it would be the person next to the County Governor of Fair Mountain County, Wang Qi Ling. He was clad in a grey robe.
"Hmm?"
The Qin Emperor, who was sitting on the roofless carriage, stood up and waved his hands at the people around him. He noticed that the grey-robed man beside Wang Qi Ling did not seem to care about his appearance.
Immediately, he frowned slightly.
Within the territory of the Duke of Qin's estate, there was actually someone who dared to put on airs in front of him?
In an instant, King Qin's sharp gaze landed on the gray-robed man.
Everyone's eyes followed King Qin's gaze and landed on the grey-robed man. At this moment, the grey-robed man had become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Damn it! What was this guy trying to do? Are you trying to harm us? "
The expressions of the Elders and Guardians of Fair Mountain Prefecture changed drastically.
"Who the hell is he? How can he ignore King Qin when he's in front of him? "
The group of young experts from Fair Mountain Commandery were speechless. They were also worried that the grey-robed man standing next to the governor of Fair Mountain Commandery would drag them down because of his rudeness to the king of Qin.
"County Governor Wang, the person next to you seems to have a problem with me."
King Qin shifted his gaze from the grey-robed man to the County Governor of Fair Mountain County, Wang Qi Ling, who was standing next to the grey-robed man.
Although King Qin's tone was calm, the people present could hear the anger in his voice. Wang Qi Ling's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "King … King Qin …"
As for the other 15 County Governors, when they looked at Wang Qi Ling, their eyes were filled with a sense of schadenfreude.
"Senior, please inform King Qin … If you're exposed, even if Duan Lingtian wants to show himself, he'll be scared away by you."
Wang Qi Ling sent a Voice Transmission to the grey-robed man.
When the grey-robed man heard the message, he did not reply to Wang Qi Ling. However, he raised his head slightly. His cloudy eyes were exposed in front of the Qin Emperor. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.
"You're King Qin from King Qin's Mansion, right? I'm from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect … The reason I'm here today is because the sect leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect ordered me to kill someone. If you act rashly and alert the enemy, I'll annihilate King Qin's Mansion! "
Just as the King of Qin saw the pair of turbid eyes under the gray robe, as well as the wrinkled face of the old man, a voice rang in his ears at the right time.
"The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?!"
Just as his heart trembled, he saw the grey-robed man's right hand, which was originally covered by his sleeve, move. A token flashed before his eyes.
"A core elder of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?!"
Although he had only seen the token for a brief moment, he could tell it was an identity token. Moreover, it was the identity token of a core elder of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
'The core elders of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect seem to be Celestial Dukes!'
King Qin gasped inwardly when he realized the grey-robed man was a Celestial Duke. He hurriedly shifted his gaze away from Wang Qi Ling.
"Senior, I'll ask my subordinate to come up with an excuse. Please forgive him if he has offended you. After all, if I don't do anything in the current situation, I'll definitely expose how unfathomable you are. "
King Qin sent a Voice Transmission to the grey-robed man as he withdrew his gaze from Wang Qi Ling.
"Hmph!"
The grey-robed man snorted coldly, acknowledging King Qin's words.
Then, King Qin sent a Voice Transmission to Wang Qi Ling.
Immediately, Wang Qi Ling's pupils shrank. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. However, he quickly regained his composure and bowed to King Qin, saying, "King Qin, this person beside me is deaf and mute. If he has disrespected you, please forgive him."
"Since he's deaf and mute, I won't hold it against him."
Qin Wang followed Wang Qi Ling's lead and walked down the stairs. At the same time, he retracted his gaze and entered the area behind the VIP seats that was shrouded by a curtain.
"It seems like King Qin is here for Qin Yu!"
"Isn't it obvious? It seems like Qin Yu might be related to the Fourth Prince who went missing in King Qin's Mansion. "
"I heard the Fourth Prince severely injured King Qin before he left King Qin's Mansion. If Qin Yu is related to the Fourth Prince, won't King Qin seek revenge on Qin Yu?"
"You're thinking too much! Who doesn't know that the reason why 4th Prince was able to injure Qin Wang in the past was because he was possessed by the devil and lost his mind … Qin Wang and 4th Prince are blood brothers and have always had a good relationship. If Qin Yu is 4th Prince's descendant, Qin Wang will only treat him well and won't make things difficult for him. "
"Perhaps … King Qin will even allow him to acknowledge his ancestors!"
…
In the spectator stands around the battle arena, the attention of a group of people shifted from the grey-robed man beside the Fair Mountain Commandery Governor Wang Qi Ling to the area behind the curtain behind the VIP spectator stands.
King Qin, the Third Prince, and Qin Yu were all inside.
They did not know what was going on inside because they could not see through the curtains.
Moreover, the curtains were soundproof. Not only could they not see or hear what was going on behind the curtains, but they also had no idea what was going on behind the curtains.
About 15 minutes later.
"Qin Yu has withdrawn from the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties … The competition will continue!"
Outside the curtains, the person from King Qin's Mansion who was in charge of hosting the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties rose into the air and announced loudly.
As soon as his words left his mouth, the entire place fell into a deathly silence.
"Qin Yu withdrew from the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties?"
"What's going on?"
"It seems like Qin Yu is really related to the Fourth Prince … If he's the Fourth Prince's son, there's no need for him to continue participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. As the Fourth Prince's son and a direct descendant of King Qin's Mansion, King Qin's Mansion will definitely treat him well. "
"This is fate … There's a world of difference between knowing how to reincarnate and not!"
…
After a moment of silence, the audience became lively again.
"Qin Yu … Congratulations."
In the VIP seats, Duan Lingtian retracted his gaze from behind the curtains and thought to himself, 'I'll congratulate you when I have the chance.'
Duan Lingtian had hidden himself here because he was worried that the old woman who went to Bloody Specter City and Nine Specters County to kill him a year ago was waiting for him in the dark.
Although he did not know who the old woman was, he still had to be careful.
For this reason, he had not revealed his identity until now.
In the eyes of others, he was just a primitive Celestial Alchemist from the Flying Dragon Sect.
'It's also because of this Celestial Master's Robe that I'm a primitive Celestial Alchemist or a primitive Celestial Weapon Craftsman … Otherwise, I would've attracted a lot of attention with my Divine Consciousness.'
Duan Lingtian could imagine.
If he did not have the Celestial Master's Robe with the word 'Celestial Master's Robe, many people would've probed him with their Divine Consciousness out of curiosity.
The Martial Competition of the 16 Counties continued.
…
Behind the curtains behind the VIP seats.
Qin Yu stood there. Beside him stood the master of the King Qin's Mansion, King Qin, and the Third Prince of the King Qin's Mansion. At this moment, the two of them were staring at Qin Yu with fiery gazes.
Qin Yu, on the other hand, was slightly restrained.
"Yu 'er … Where's your father?"
The Third Prince asked.
"My father … has passed away."
Qin Yu sighed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
