"Duan Lingtian?!"
Qin Yu snapped out of his daze almost as soon as the Third Prince and the King of Qin's Mansion said the name in unison. He looked at them and asked, "Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle … What happened to Duan Lingtian?"
"Right!"
Suddenly, King Qin seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Yu 'er, you came here with the people from the Nine Specters County … That Duan Lingtian was also in the Nine Specters County. Have you ever interacted with him? "
"Of course."
Qin Yu nodded. "He is my only friend in the Nine Specters County."
Even though Qin Yu only got to know Duan Lingtian later on, Duan Lingtian was still a very young man.
However, before he met Duan Lingtian, he did not have a true friend. It was only after he met Duan Lingtian that he felt that he had a friend.
"And … he saved my life!"
Qin Yu added.
"Saved your life?"
Hearing Qin Yu's words, King Qin and the 3rd Prince slightly frown. They exchange a look and see bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.
He was their nephew's friend, and a friend who had saved their nephew's life. It was only right that they protect him.
However, if the target of the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was their nephew's friend, there was nothing they could do even if they wanted to protect him.
At this moment, they could only hope that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's target was not Duan Lingtian.
Even the Duan Lingtian hoped that the Duan Lingtian would not appear.
This way, they would not be in a difficult position.
"Yes."
Qin Yu nods. At the same time, he sees the helplessness in the eyes of Qin Wang and the 3rd Prince. For a moment, his heart cannot help tensing up. "Big Uncle, 3rd Uncle … what were you talking about just now? What happened to Duan Lingtian? "
When Duan Lingtian was mentioned again, Qin Yu could not help showing a worried expression on his face.
Although he didn't hear the conversation between his First and Third Uncles clearly, an ominous premonition still rose in his heart.
"Yu 'er, we are only guessing."
The Third Marquis sighed.
"What guess?"
Qin Yu became even more anxious.
"It's like this …"
As the Third Prince slowly opened his mouth, his words caused Qin Yu's expression to change again and again.
"So … Third Uncle, both you and Eldest Uncle suspect that the core elder of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is targeting Duan Lingtian?"
Qin Yu's expression changed again and again. It was as if he never knew when to stop.
"Just a suspicion."
Seeing Qin Yu's concern, King Qin comforted him, "After all, until now, only Duan Lingtian has not appeared in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties … Of course, it could be someone else."
Although King Qin said it was someone else, he was certain the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was waiting for Duan Lingtian.
After all, apart from Duan Lingtian, a monstrous genius who was not even 100 years old, he could not think of anyone else in King Qin's Mansion who was worthy of being killed by the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
After all, when he heard about Duan Lingtian a few months ago, he was also shocked.
He did not expect such a person to appear in King Qin's Mansion.
Duan Lingtian was not even 100 years old, but his strength was comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Moreover, he was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in Nine Specters County!
Although the Third Prince and King Qin comforted Qin Yu, Qin Yu was not stupid. He could vaguely guess the core elder of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was here for Duan Lingtian.
Although Qin Yu did not know why the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect would send a core elder to kill Duan Lingtian, he could not help but worry about Duan Lingtian.
'Duan Lingtian … I hope you're safe now, but I also hope you won't show up at the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.'
Qin Yu thought to himself.
Previously, he had hoped Duan Lingtian would show up.
However, he did not want Duan Lingtian to show up at all.
"Now, I can only hope Duan Lingtian won't show up …"
The Third Prince sighed.
"Although I think highly of Duan Lingtian and hope he can stay in King Qin's Mansion, since he's Yu 'er's friend and the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect seems to be here to kill him, I also hope he won't show up."
King Qin said.
Boom!
Rumble!!
…
The ground trembled. Waves of rolling air waves came from the battle arena in front of the VIP spectator seats outside the curtains. They slammed onto the battle arena, causing the battle arena to tremble. It also affected the surrounding spectator seats, causing the spectator seats to appear as though an intense earthquake had occurred.
The commotion was caused by the two people who were fighting fiercely in the air above the battle arena.
At this moment, Yang Jin, the trump card of Fair Mountain County, and Chu Yan, the trump card of Soaring Wind County, were fighting fiercely in the air above the battle arena. Both of them were evenly matched, and it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.
At this moment, King Qin and the Third Prince looked at the sky above the battle arena in unison.
Qin Yu was the only one who kept his head down with a frown on his face. He kept praying that Duan Lingtian would not show up.
Qin Yu did this because Duan Lingtian was his only friend. He did not want anything to happen to Duan Lingtian.
Apart from that, he did not care about anything else.
It did not matter who won first place in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties between Yang Jin and Chu Yan.
King Qin and the Third Prince also hoped that Duan Lingtian would be fine.
However, Duan Lingtian was only their nephew's friend. Although he was their nephew's savior, if Duan Lingtian showed up and the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was targeting Duan Lingtian, there was nothing they could do.
If the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was not targeting Duan Lingtian, they were not worried that Duan Lingtian would be in danger.
For this reason, their attention was no longer on Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, their attention was completely drawn over by Yang Jin and Chu Yan who were fighting intensely in the air above the combat arena, and their gazes never left the two of them from the beginning.
They all wanted to know who would be the first to defeat Yang Jin and Chu Yan and win first place in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties!
"I've long heard of Fair Mountain County's Yang Jin. He's quite strong and is a rare genius in Fair Mountain County … Now that I've met him in person, he really lives up to his reputation."
The Third Prince sighed.
"Chu Yan is not bad as well … He and his father are very good at hiding their strength. Although I'm the Master of King Qin's Mansion, I've only heard of Chu Yu in the Soaring Wind County. I didn't know Chu Yan was even more talented than Chu Yu! "
King Qin said.
"Big brother … Who do you think will win?"
The Third Prince asked.
"I can't tell yet … However, based on the current situation, their combined strength is about the same. I'm afraid it depends on who's distracted first. If one of them gets distracted first, and the other takes advantage of the opening, they can completely attack the enemy in one go and defeat him! "
Qin Wang hit the nail on the head.
"I think so too."
The Third Prince nodded.
…
Outside the veil.
At this moment, the attention of the group of people in the spectator seats around the combat arena was also focused on the intense battle between Yang Jin and Chu Yan in the air above the combat arena.
"Yang Jin's strength is very strong. He lives up to his reputation!"
"I've heard of Yang Jin's name before, but I didn't know his strength … Today, I've finally seen it for myself."
"If it weren't for Chu Yan and Duan Lingtian, Yang Jin would've undoubtedly won first place in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties."
"That's right. Who would've thought Chu Yan would be a trump card in Soaring Wind County apart from Chu Yu? "
"It doesn't matter if Duan Lingtian is here or not … Soaring Wind County will take up two of the top ten spots in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. Moreover, they're brothers. This matter will definitely become a legend in the Soaring Wind County and even King Qin's Mansion! "
"County Governor Chu of Soaring Wind County has a pair of good sons and daughters … How enviable!"
…
A group of people discussed animatedly in the spectating area around the combat arena.
Most of them were exclaiming about Chu Yan, the dark horse. At the same time, many of them were envious of Chu Ting Xuan, the County Governor of Soaring Wind County, for having a pair of good sons and daughters.
At this moment, Chu Ting Xuan, the County Governor of Soaring Wind County, was sitting at the side of the audience as he watched the fierce battle in the air calmly.
However, if one looked closely at his eyes, one would see that he was filled with pride.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a deep sense of pride!
He had a daughter like Chu Yu and a daughter like Chu Yan.
What more could a father ask for?
"Revered Elder Tian Ling … Who do you think will win this battle?"
Huang Guang Ji, the Vice Sect Leader of Flying Dragon Sect, asked as he looked at the black-robed man standing nearby.
The black-robed man was none other than Revered Elder Tian Ling of Flying Dragon Sect. He was a primitive Celestial Alchemist who wore a Celestial Master's Robe with the word 'Kun' written on it.
This primitive Celestial Alchemist was also the trump card of the Nine Specters County that many people were talking about.
Duan Lingtian!
"The two of them are evenly matched. It's hard to say who's going to win now."
Duan Lingtian answered Huang Guang Ji's question in a hoarse voice.
"I agree."
Huang Guang Ji nodded. "Even if one of them wins in the end, it's probably because one of them is distracted. It's hard to say who will win now."
"However …"
Before Huang Guang Ji could finish speaking, Duan Lingtian said, "I think Chu Yan has a higher chance of winning."
"Chu Yan? The son of the County Governor of Soaring Wind County? "
Huang Guang Ji asked in surprise when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. "Revered Elder Tian Ling, why do you say that? After all, based on the current situation, it's hard to say who will win. "
"This is just my personal judgment. The outcome might not necessarily match my judgment."
