"Is that so?"
The old woman sneered when she heard Tian Ji Yu's words. "Why do I remember that you purposely bought an hour for Duan Lingtian when he didn't show up?
If you didn't know he was coming, would you have bought time for him?
You … Do you think I'm a fool?! "
The old woman's voice turned colder and colder as she spoke. It felt as though winter had arrived.
Tian Ji Yu, who was targeted, bore the brunt of it. He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
"Senior …"
Tian Ji Yu wanted to say something.
"Hurmph!"
With a cold harrumph, a cold light flashed through the old woman's eyes, but she didn't do anything.
In the next moment …
Spurt!
Tian Ji Yu, who was as pale as a sheet of paper, suddenly trembled. A bloody hole appeared between his brows, and his vitality was drained away in just a blink of an eye.
Bang!
The next moment, Tian Jiyu's body fell heavily to the ground. The sound was unusually loud in the silent environment.
Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, was dead!
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
…
Almost at the same time when they saw Tian Ji Yu fall to the ground and die, the group of people present could not help but gasp one after another.
Nobody thought the County Governor of Nine Specters County under King Qin's Mansion would be killed in such a manner.
Moreover, he was killed right in front of King Qin's Mansion.
"Lord County Governor!"
"Lord County Governor!"
…
When the people from Nine Specters County regained their senses, they were in a mess.
The Inner Mansion Elders, Pang Bing and Zheng Qiu, glanced at Tian Ji Yu who was on the ground, then glanced at the old woman who stood in the sky above the combat ring before turning around once again and walking towards Duan Ling Tian, and their expressions were gloomy to the point water seemed to drip from them.
"Zheng Qiu … Even King Qin wouldn't be able to kill the County Governor in such a manner, right?"
Pang Bing asked through Voice Transmission.
"This old woman … should be stronger than King Qin."
Zheng Qiu replied through Voice Transmission.
"Do you remember … when His Excellency the Duke of Qin first appeared, this old woman was wearing a grey robe and standing beside Wang Qiling, the Prefectural Governor of Fair Mountain Commandery. She didn't even greet His Excellency the Duke of Qin."
Zheng Qiu continued to speak.
"Now that you mention it, I remember! At that time, the Duke of Qin and this old woman were at daggers drawn, but the Fair Mountain County Governor, Wang Qi Ling, said that this old woman was deaf and mute, so the Duke of Qin did not continue to argue with this old woman. "
Pang Bing.
"Deaf and mute? Do you think Wang Qi Ling's County Governor would dare to deceive King Qin's's's the County? In my opinion, when he said the old woman was deaf and mute, it was most likely His Excellency Duke of Qin who instructed him to do so. "
Zheng Qiu.
"King Qin's King Qin"
Pang Bing was puzzled. "Why would King Qin do this?"
"The Duke of Qin did this either because he knew that the old woman was stronger than him, or because he knew that the old woman had a powerful background and he didn't dare to provoke her … I'm more inclined towards the former. The Duke of Qin knew that the old woman was stronger than him, so he asked the Fair Mountain Commandery Chief, Wang Qiling, to cooperate with him and give him a way out."
After all, as the Master of King Qin's Mansion, he couldn't possibly admit defeat in front of the old woman in front of so many people … "
Zheng Qiu's words made it seem as though he had personally witnessed the battle between King Qin and the old woman.
"If that's the case, it makes sense. King Qin hasn't made a move even though the old woman has killed the County Governor."
Pang Bing sighed as he looked at the curtain behind the VIP seats.
Behind the curtain.
Qin Yu's expression darkened when he saw the old woman walking toward Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, he realized the old woman was a Celestial Being.
The Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had indeed come for his friend, Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, based on his uncle's words, the old woman had come to kill Duan Ling Tian.
Every step the old woman took was akin to stepping on his heart. He could not help but shudder.
Duan Ling Tian was his only friend, and he'd even saved his life.
Now, Duan Ling Tian's life was in danger, yet he could only watch and do nothing. This caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Uncle, you … Please save Duan Lingtian!"
Qin Yu said as he looked at King Qin.
"Yu 'er!"
As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, the Third Prince smiled wryly and said, "That old woman is a Celestial Duke … You saw how she killed the County Governor of Nine Specters County earlier. Even if your First Uncle's cultivation base were to break through two levels, he might not be able to use such a technique. "
The strength of a Celestial Duke is … beyond your imagination. "
A hint of helplessness could be heard in the Third Prince's voice when he spoke.
Although he was a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was unrivaled by anyone below the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he was as insignificant as an ant in front of a Celestial Duke.
Moreover, a Celestial Duke could kill him with just a thought, just like how she had killed the County Governor of Nine Specters County.
"Yu 'er, it's not that I don't want to help him … I can't."
King Qin sighed.
The Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had killed his subordinate, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, in front of so many people.
However, even though he had lost all his face, he could not feel any anger in his heart.
After all, he knew there was nothing he could do no matter how angry he was.
Putting aside the fact that he was no match for the old woman, the old woman's background alone was enough to intimidate him.
The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was much more powerful than a high-rank Celestial Kingdom!
Whoosh!
While King Qin was sighing, Qin Yu's expression changed a few times. In the end, he flew out of the curtain and appeared in front of Duan Lingtian in just a blink of an eye. He shielded Duan Lingtian behind him.
Although Duan Lingtian's body was surrounded by the old woman's powerful and invisible energy, it was only natural that the old woman was protecting him.
The invisible energy was directed at Duan Lingtian. It was directed at Duan Lingtian.
For this reason, Qin Yu did not encounter any obstruction from the old woman's invisible energy when he appeared in front of Duan Lingtian. He successfully arrived in front of Duan Lingtian.
"Qin Yu?"
Duan Lingtian was greatly surprised by Qin Yu's appearance.
However, despite his surprise, Duan Lingtian hurriedly transmitted his voice to Qin Yu. He smiled bitterly and said, "Qin Yu, hurry up and go back. Don't worry, I'll be fine …"
Although Duan Lingtian knew Qin Yu's appearance could not resolve the crisis he was facing, he still felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
He could imagine:
Before Qin Yu appeared, he must have begged his uncle, King Qin of King Qin's Mansion.
Now that Qin Yu had appeared alone, it meant that King Qin did not agree to help him.
Or rather:
King Qin knew he was no match for the old woman, so there was nothing he could do to help Qin Yu.
Although Duan Lingtian said he would be fine, Qin Yu did not believe him.
At this point, how could Qin Yu believe Duan Lingtian's words?
After appearing in front of Duan Lingtian, Qin Yu saw the killing intent in the old woman's eyes when she looked at Duan Lingtian.
It was a killing intent that could not wait to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces and grind his bones to dust.
Qin Yu was certain.
The old woman might not kill Duan Lingtian as quickly as she killed the County Chief of Nine Specters County.
"Senior … May I know how Duan Lingtian has offended you? If you're willing to let him go, I … I can promise you anything I can do. Even if you want my life in exchange for his, I'm willing to do it. "
Qin Yu's heart trembled slightly when he saw the old woman.
After all, Duan Ling Tian was a true Celestial Duke!
Currently, he was only an ordinary Golden Celestial who had not even become a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
Even Great Overarching Golden Celestials and Celestial Dukes were separated by Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials.
In other words, Qin Yu was no different from an ant in front of the old woman.
In fact, the old woman could easily kill him with a puff of her Celestial Origin Energy.
Earlier, even the County Chief of Nine Specters County, a profound Great Overarching Golden Celestial, had been killed by the old woman.
Based on this, one could easily imagine how powerful the old woman was.
As soon as Qin Yu appeared in front of Duan Lingtian, the old woman's eyes flashed coldly. She was prepared to kill Qin Yu.
However, when she heard Qin Yu's words, she temporarily dismissed the idea of killing him. She asked in disbelief, "You're willing to exchange your life for his?"
In the Devata Realms where the strong were revered and the weak were prey to the strong, very few people would be willing to sacrifice their own lives for others.
After all, everyone was selfish.
"Senior, as long as you promise not to kill him after killing me, I'm willing to give up my life!"
Qin Yu said solemnly with a serious face.
"Since you want to exchange your life for his, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Right after Qin Yu's words left his mouth, the old woman's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Whoosh!
Immediately after that, a powerful aura swept out from her body and enveloped Qin Yu. It was moving toward him menacingly.
As a Celestial Duke, the old woman's aura was strong enough to injure ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestials.
If she wanted to, she could kill ordinary Golden Celestials with just her aura alone.
"Senior, please have mercy on me!"
"Please have mercy on me!"
Almost at the instant when the old woman's aura swept out and enveloped Qin Yu, two hurried voices sounded in succession from behind the curtain of the VIP viewing seats.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Following that, two figures flew out from behind the curtain.
They were none other than the Master of King Qin's Mansion, King Qin, and the Third Prince.
Qin Wang and the Third Prince, one after the other, soar into the air at an extremely fast speed, wanting to rescue Qin Yu.
Qin Yu's father was their fourth brother.
On the other hand, their fourth brother had saved their lives more than once in the past.
