Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the person who had called out to him.
Apart from Huan 'er and Murong Bing, she was the most beautiful woman he had seen in the Spirit Overarching Heaven since he had arrived in the Devata Realm.
The woman wore a light green robe. She had dark eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a high nose. Coupled with her cherry lips and her nearly perfect facial features, she was like a finely crafted work of art. With just a glance, one would have a pleasing feeling.
Duan Lingtian was certain this was his first time meeting this woman.
However, he was familiar with the woman standing next to her. She was none other than Zhou Shu Dong, the fourth miss of the Zhou clan.
Duan Lingtian was surprised.
There was no hatred in Zhou Shu Dong's eyes when she looked at him. Instead, there was a hint of fear and panic in her eyes. It was as though she regarded him as a ferocious beast.
"Third Miss!"
At the same time, Long Fei Yun's voice rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears. He knew the woman standing next to Zhou Shu Dong was none other than Zhou Shu Dong's sister, the Third Miss of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Shu Qiu.
Half a year ago, Long Fei Yun had heard about this woman from the thirteenth prince. Apart from being the third miss of the Zhou clan, she was also the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
"Third Miss, I didn't expect to see you here … I remember you. Ever since you joined the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, you've been elusive. It's hard for others to even meet you. I didn't expect to see you here. I'm really lucky."
Although Long Fei Yun knew Zhou Shu Qiu was here for Duan Ling Tian, he quickly smiled and took the initiative to greet Zhou Shu Qiu.
"You must be joking, thirteenth prince. I'm usually with master and rarely return to the capital."
Zhou Shu Qiu smiled.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhou Shu Dong and said indifferently, "Dong 'er, have you forgotten what I told you?"
Upon hearing Zhou Shu Qiu's words, Zhou Shu Dong's body trembled slightly. She quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly as she looked at Duan Lingtian. "I'm sorry … It's my fault."
"Hm?"
Although this was not the first time Zhou Shu Dong had apologized to him, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense that Zhou Shu Dong did not seem reluctant at all. It was as though she was willing to apologize to him.
This greatly surprised him.
One ought to know that when the fourth prince, Long Xiang Yun, had asked Zhou Shu Dong to apologize to him, she had only apologized perfunctorily. Moreover, her eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Before Duan Lingtian could reply, Zhou Shu Qiu looked at Duan Lingtian and asked, "Duan Lingtian, may I have a word with you?"
Before Duan Lingtian could reply, Long Fei Yun's expression changed drastically. He looked at Zhou Shu Qiu and said in a deep voice, "Third Miss, is there anything you can't say here? If you think there are too many people, I can ask Qiu Ling to clear the area! "
As soon as Long Fei Yun finished speaking, he turned to look at Qiu Ling and nodded.
In the next moment …
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Waves of boundless power swept out from Qiu Ling's body, turning into gusts of wild wind that swept in all directions. The surrounding people were all pushed far away, but they were not hurt.
This was a testament to Qiu Ling's ability to control his energy.
For a time, the bustling area was deserted.
"What's going on?!"
"What's going on?!"
…
Among the group of people who had been pushed far away, apart from a small number of people, most of them had no idea what was going on and were all dumbfounded.
However, although they did not know what happened, they could clearly feel that the power just now was invincible.
For this reason, they still felt a lingering fear.
"Isn't that His Highness, the Thirteenth Prince?"
When the crowd regained their senses, they quickly recognized Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
"That's … the Fourth Miss of the Zhou clan!"
Soon after, someone recognized Zhou Shu Dong.
"That purple-clad young man and the woman wearing a veil next to him … I've seen them before! They're the ones who killed the Zhou clan's elder and injured the Fourth Miss of the Zhou clan six months ago! "
"It's them?!"
"Is the Fourth Miss of the Zhou clan seeking revenge?"
"It doesn't seem like it … I saw the Fourth Miss of the Zhou clan apologizing to the purple-clad young man under the instruction of the woman next to her."
…
As the crowd discussed among themselves, many of them turned to look at Zhou Shu Qiu who was standing next to Zhou Shu Dong.
"Isn't she the Third Miss of the Zhou clan?"
Soon after, a sharp-eyed old man exclaimed, "Although her temperament has changed a lot, her appearance hasn't changed much … She's indeed the Third Miss of the Zhou clan!"
"What?!"
"The … The Third Miss of the Zhou clan?!"
"The Third Miss of the Zhou clan … The most beautiful woman in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?!"
…
A commotion broke out in the crowd when the sharp-eyed old man spoke. After all, the Third Miss of the Zhou clan was too famous.
She was the most beautiful woman in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
She was the most talented person in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom in the past 1,000 years.
She was the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
She was the junior sister of the current Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
This was the 'halo' above the head of the Zhou Clan's Third Young Miss, boundless glory!
While everyone's attention was on Zhou Shu Qiu, she glanced at Long Fei Yun indifferently and said, "Thirteenth Prince, I have something to say to Duan Lingtian in private … It's inconvenient even for my sister to listen."
Zhou Shu Qiu's words were clear.
Even her sister, Zhou Shu Dong, would have to listen to her when she spoke to Duan Lingtian in private.
"What if I don't allow Brother Duan to come with you?"
Long Fei Yun asked in a deep voice as his expression turned cold.
Although Zhou Shu Qiu was from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, she was still in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
As the prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, he was protected by the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. Even the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect would not dare to touch him without a valid reason.
Moreover, although Zhou Shu Qiu was not weak, she had Qiu Ling, a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial by her side.
Swoosh!
As soon as Long Fei Yun finished speaking, Qiu Ling who was standing behind Long Fei Yun suddenly appeared in front of Duan Lingtian. He shielded Duan Lingtian behind him as he stared at Zhou Shu Qiu fiercely.
"Not long ago, I heard that the thirteenth prince recruited a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Zhou Shu Qiu narrowed her eyes when she saw Qiu Ling standing between her and Duan Lingtian.
In the next moment …
Whoosh!
A surge of powerful Celestial Origin Energy surged out of Zhou Shu Qiu's body, causing her green robe to flutter even though there was no wind. Even the dust on the ground was swept away by her Celestial Origin Energy.
"She … She's a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial as well?!"
Qiu Ling's expression changed drastically when he sensed Zhou Shu Qiu's Celestial Origin Energy.
"Hmph!"
Just as Qiu Ling's expression changed drastically, Zhou Shuqiu's figure flashed, and she seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
In Duan Lingtian's eyes, Zhou Shu Qiu had disappeared into thin air.
Bang!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian saw Qiu Ling's figure swaying, a muffled sound rang in his ears again.
Then, he saw Zhou Shu Qiu standing before him.
Unknowingly, Zhou Shuqiu had appeared in front of Qiu Ling. She was wearing a glove that looked like it was made of spider silk. With a flip of her hand, waves of aura pressed down on Qiu Ling's body like Mount Tai.
Qiu Ling, on the other hand, had taken out his Celestial Weapon and was struggling to withstand Zhou Shu Qiu's palm strike.
He knelt down on one knee, and wherever his knee touched, the ground cracked like a spider web, and the cracks continued to spread out in all directions …
"Get lost!"
Before everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, could react, Zhou Shu Qiu said in a low voice, "Let's go!"
As soon as Zhou Shu Qiu finished speaking, the waves of energy that were crashing down on Qiu Ling changed direction.
Boom!
The Gang Qi changed direction and hit Qiu Ling, sending him flying into the distance and crashing into the ground. Qiu Ling's Qi and blood were in turmoil, and he was in a sorry state.
At this moment, the people present on the scene finally regained their senses.
"Did the third miss of the Zhou clan say that the person next to the thirteenth prince is a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?"
"I think so."
"Heavens! The third miss of the Zhou clan easily suppressed a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial … Does this mean she's stronger than a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? "
"I'm sure the third miss of the Zhou clan is stronger than a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. However, her cultivation base might not be higher than her opponent's."
"Indeed. Even if the third miss of the Zhou clan is a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, it's easy for her to defeat an unorthodox heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. After all, her master is the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. Her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities must be earth-grade! "
…
Duan Lingtian heard the discussions from afar. It gave him a new understanding of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
'The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland already have earth-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities?'
Duan Lingtian's expression turned solemn when he heard this.
He realized his current situation was not as good as before.
His advantage in terms of Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities was getting smaller and smaller.
Among the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities he had mastered, only the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was a heaven-grade Divine Ability.
