It could be said that Qin Yu was worried.
Qin Yu's concern had caused him to panic.
Otherwise, he would not have exposed the fact that Duan Lingtian had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for less than five years.
After all, it would only be detrimental to Duan Ling Tian if that matter was exposed. There was no benefit at all.
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, King Qin and the Third Prince nodded despite their confusion. Then, they turned to look at the people standing in the air.
Apart from the group of people in the VIP seats who were unharmed, there were only a few people from the 16 counties who had come from King Qin's Mansion.
"Everyone."
The Third Prince stepped out of the air and stood in front of the group of people in the VIP seats. He said apologetically, "King Qin's Mansion didn't expect so many accidents to happen during the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties … I'm sorry."
"You're exaggerating, Third Prince."
When they saw the second-in-command of King Qin's Mansion apologizing to them, the people from the sects and clans under King Qin's Mansion's jurisdiction immediately waved their hands and said, "King Qin's Mansion did not intend for this to happen. We know this very well so there's no need for you to apologize, Third Prince."
"That's right. Third Prince, today's accident happened because of the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect … It's normal for King Qin's Mansion to be powerless when the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect came. After all, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is a powerful sect that far surpasses the Celestial Kingdoms! "
"Third Prince, do you know the cultivation base of the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?"
"Third Prince … Is the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect a Celestial Duke?"
…
The group of people who came out from the VIP seats did not blame King Qin's Mansion. Instead, they were interested in the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. They were curious to know the powerhouse's cultivation base.
"That senior is a core elder of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect … She's a Celestial Duke."
The Third Prince sighed helplessly when he saw the eager gazes of the people in front of him.
A Celestial Duke!
As soon as the Third Marquis finished speaking, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
Although many of the people present on the scene guessed the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was a Celestial Duke, they could only speculate before they received any confirmation.
Now that the Third Marquis of the Duke of Qin's Mansion had spoken, their hearts were filled with shock.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
… …
After a short while, the group of people reacted and gasped one after another, only stopping after a long while.
"I didn't expect the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect to be a Celestial Duke!"
"In our King Qin Manor … it has been a hundred years since an Immortal Monarch expert has appeared in public, right?"
"I didn't expect that there would be such a pleasant surprise during our visit to the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties … This trip was worth it!"
"Hehe … When we return to the sect, we'll be able to boast about the fact that we've seen a High Celestial Duke make a move with our own eyes. At that time, there will definitely be many people who will envy us and regret not coming. "
…
The people from the various sects and clans under King Qin's Mansion's jurisdiction were whispering among themselves. Every single one of them was excited.
It was obvious that they had seen a High Celestial Duke make a move with their own eyes.
Upon seeing this, the Third Marquis was stunned.
"Cough cough …"
The Third Marquis coughed a few times to attract the attention of the people in front of him. Then, he said, "Everyone, there are still some matters that we need to attend to in King Qin's Mansion … If you want to stay in King Qin's Mansion and rest for a few days, I'll ask someone to make the necessary arrangements.
If you want to leave, I'll ask someone to escort you out of King Qin's Mansion now. "
The Third Marquis said.
"Haha … Third Marquis, I'm in a hurry to return to the sect. There's no need for you to ask someone to escort me out."
A loud laughter rang in the air as a figure disappeared from his spot. He left King Qin's Mansion at an extremely fast speed.
"Third Marquis, I'm in a hurry to return as well … Farewell!"
"Farewell, Third Marquis!"
…
After a few moments, the people in front of the Third Marquis left.
The people from the various sects and clans who were invited by King Qin's Mansion were excited to see and witness a High Celestial Duke with their own eyes. They could not wait to return to their respective clans and sects to brag about it.
In just a blink of an eye, only the people from King Qin's Mansion and the 16 counties were left in the vast wasteland.
"I didn't want this to happen."
King Qin said in a deep voice as he looked at the 15 County Governors and the two inner court elders of Nine Specters County.
"All the counties have suffered great losses this time … In addition to the rewards I promised for the top 10 and the rewards for the counties behind them, I'll give each of the 16 counties a low-grade Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill," Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
King Qin said in a clear voice.
After Qin Wang said this, the eyes of the people from the various counties, who were originally dispirited, lit up, and their breathing quickened in an instant.
…
The rest of the people from the 16 counties were directly under King Qin's Mansion. Therefore, King Qin only needed to show them some mercy and authority to send them away.
After sending the people from the 16 counties to stay in the guest rooms of King Qin's Mansion, King Qin and the Third Marquis brought Qin Yu to the Central Great Hall of King Qin's Mansion.
The Central Great Hall of King Qin's Mansion was very spacious, and the decorations and furnishings inside were dazzling and magnificent. Qin Yu, who was here for the first time, could not help but be stunned for a moment before he regained his senses.
When had he ever seen such a magnificent and majestic hall?
"Yu 'er … Now that there are only three of us here, you don't have to worry about anything."
The Third Marquis said to Qin Yu.
Although King Qin did not say anything, he nodded encouragingly at Qin Yu after hearing the Third Marquis' words.
Qin Yu nodded.
Following that, he told them everything he knew about the Duan Lingtian and everything he knew about the Duan Lingtian after he came into contact with the Duan Lingtian. He did not hide anything.
At this moment, he knew that if he were to hide anything, it would only make the two people in front of him doubt his words.
After listening to Qin Yu, King Qin and the Third Marquis looked at each other. They could see the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Had it not been for Qin Yu saying it himself, they would find it hard to believe that an Ascender who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, an Ascender who was less than a hundred years old, in merely five years, had actually done so many shocking things.
Of course, those things did not sound like much at first.
However, if they were to add another sentence:
Those things were done by someone who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for less than five years and was not even a hundred years old.
It was enough to shock anyone.
"If that's the case, this Duan Lingtian must have obtained a shocking inheritance when he was in the mundane realm. If that's the case, it's not surprising that he has the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman inscribed by a Celestial King. "
The Third Marquis sighed.
"This Duan Lingtian has a bright future … Yu 'er, it's your fortune to know him."
King Qin said as he looked at Qin Yu.
At this moment, King Qin and the Third Marquis still felt that Qin Yu's words were true.
Although King Qin and the Third Marquis still felt that Qin Yu's words were unbelievable.
Nevertheless, they still believed Qin Yu's words.
Because some of the things that Qin Yu said, as long as they went to investigate a bit, they would be able to find out the truth. They were simply not worried that Qin Yu would lie. Furthermore, Qin Yu also took the initiative to suggest that they go investigate to verify the truth of what he said.
"I'm worried … Is he being chased by the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? He might not have a second 'Void Escaping Talisman' in his hands. "
Qin Yu said with a wry smile.
Although Duan Lingtian had escaped under the nose of the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, he could not help but worry about Duan Lingtian's safety.
"Don't worry."
The Third Marquis patted Qin Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, "The Shadow Void Escaping Talisman is an Immortal Talisman inscribed by a Celestial King. Moreover, the success rate of inscribing it is less than 1% … This Immortal Talisman is not to be trifled with.
Once the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman is used, it can send the user a million miles away. Moreover, when the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman is used, it will leave traces in other directions to mislead others. "
The Third Marquis continued to say, "Therefore, you don't have to worry about Duan Lingtian being in danger."
"Then I'm relieved."
Qin Yu nodded.
"Eldest uncle, third uncle …"
Suddenly, Qin Yu's eyes flashed as though he had thought of something. He looked at King Qin and the Third Marquis and asked, "What's the purpose of King Qin's Mansion holding the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties? We can't just let the young powerhouses from the 16 counties compete to determine the ranking and send them back, right? "
"Of course not."
The Third Marquis shook his head and said with a smile, "Yu 'er, do you think King Qin's Mansion has nothing to do with the generous rewards we've prepared for the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties?"
"Then … What's the reason?"
Qin Yu asked curiously.
…
In a barren mountain a million miles away from King Qin's Mansion.
"Where's this place?"
A purple figure in a slightly sorry state rose into the air from the barren mountain, looking left and right.
The purple figure was a young man. He was dressed in purple, but his purple clothes were tattered. It was as if he had just gone through a tough battle.
The young man was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He was none other than Duan Lingtian who had used the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman in King Qin's Mansion and escaped from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's Celestial Dukes.
'I've lost my life-saving technique just like that … I can't risk my life like this again before I obtain another Shadow Void Escaping Talisman.'
