"Yes."
The Golden Light King, Golden Tiger, nodded immediately when he heard Long Xiang Yun's question. Then, he glared at Huan 'er and said, "That's her!"
Long Xiang Yun furiously followed Golden Tiger's gaze when he heard Golden Tiger's words.
However, as soon as he saw Huan 'er, his expression changed drastically.
"It's her?!"
Whether it was Long Xiang Yun or the old man behind him, their expressions changed as soon as they saw Huan 'er's face.
Although they could not see Huan 'er's face due to her veil and hat, they had not seen her clearly.
In fact, they had never seen Huan 'er before.
However, they had heard of Huan 'er's disguise more than once. Therefore, they were able to confirm her identity as soon as they saw her.
"His Highness, the Fourth Prince?"
Golden Tiger, naturally, noticed the change in Long Xiang Yun and the old man's expressions when they saw Huan 'er. An ominous feeling rose in his heart.
In the next moment, Long Xiangyun's actions confirmed the ominous premonition in Golden Tiger's heart.
"Greetings, Miss Huan 'er."
Long Xiang Yun cupped his hands together and greeted Huan 'er politely. Then, he signaled Golden Tiger with his eyes before he left with the old man behind him.
They left as quickly as they came.
"Take care of my father's body. If there's anything missing, I'll hold you responsible!"
Jin Hu coldly glanced at the middle-aged servant beside the Jin Wangfu's old master. After he finished speaking, he left with Long Xiang Yun.
The middle-aged servant hurriedly cleaned up the ice on the ground.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
…
A few moments later, the onlookers finally regained their senses. Many of them gasped in shock as they looked at Huan 'er in a completely different light.
"Who's she?"
"Even His Highness the Fourth Prince seems to be wary of her … He even took the initiative to bow to her."
"Even if the Thirteenth Prince is here, the Fourth Prince won't show him any respect. Who's that white-clad woman? Why would she be with the thirteenth prince's men? "
…
Everyone was curious as to why she was with the Thirteenth Prince's men. They were curious as to why she was with the Thirteenth Prince.
Now, no one thought that she was a subordinate of the thirteenth prince.
What a joke!
How could someone who could make the Fourth Prince treat him so respectfully be a subordinate of the Thirteenth Prince?
She ignored the curious gazes of the people around her.
The gaze that shot out from her pair of perfect autumn eyes penetrated the ice wall and landed on Duan Ling Tian who was inside the ice wall.
She could see that Duan Ling Tian's face was distorted, she could see that Duan Ling Tian's body was violently trembling, and she could see that Duan Ling Tian's tightly clenched teeth were clenched and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth …
"Why do I feel … pain here? Why do I feel this way? "
A worried expression appeared on Huan 'er's face when she saw Duan Ling Tian's condition. She placed one of her hands on her chest, where her heart was. She did not know why, but she felt a pang in her heart. She felt as though something was pressing against her heart.
She had never felt this way in the past.
This was the first time in her life.
Although she was worried about Duan Lingtian and wished she could suffer for Duan Lingtian's sake, she knew Duan Lingtian was not in her right mind.
She knew her Brother Ling Tian could not be disturbed at this moment.
For this reason, she could only watch in silence.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ling stood like an iron tower. His expression was cold as he looked at his surroundings. He looked like a guardian angel as he guarded Duan Lingtian who was surrounded by four ice walls.
It was as though he would kill anyone who dared to come close to Duan Lingtian.
"I remember now!"
A middle-aged man who had been deep in thought suddenly exclaimed. He looked at Huan 'er and said, "She … She's the woman who killed the Zhou Clan's elder who was with the Fourth Miss of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Shu Dong, on the streets of the capital a year ago!"
The Third Miss of the Zhou Clan!
The Zhou Clan's elder!
As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, more and more people recalled the incident that had caused a commotion in the capital a year ago.
A year ago, Zhou Shu Dong, the Fourth Miss of the Zhou Clan, had asked a handsome man to be her toy on the streets. However, she was rejected.
In the end, not only was Zhou Shu Dong injured by the handsome man, but the Zhou Clan's elder who was with her was also killed by a woman who was with the handsome man.
Behind them, everyone felt that the man and woman were most likely going to be in big trouble.
However, a few months ago, Zhou Shu Qiu, the Third Miss of the Zhou Clan, returned to the capital and took the initiative to ask her younger sister, Zhou Shu Dong, the Fourth Miss of the Zhou Clan, to apologize to the handsome man on the streets.
From then on, the people in the capital could vaguely guess what was going on.
That handsome man and the woman beside him should have some kind of extraordinary background. They were not simple at all.
Otherwise, with Zhou Shu Qiu's powerful background, how could she possibly be so courteous to them?
"No wonder I thought the purple-clad young man looked familiar. Isn't he the handsome man whom the Fourth Miss of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Shu Dong, fell in love with?"
An old man exclaimed.
"No wonder the Fourth Prince was so polite to the white-clad woman. It seems like he recognized her. Moreover, it's obvious that she has a powerful background. Otherwise, the Fourth Prince wouldn't have taken the initiative to greet her. "
"I've long heard that the two of them are friends with the Thirteenth Prince and that they usually stay in the Thirteenth Prince's residence. It seems like the rumors are true."
"Of course, it's true. Otherwise, why would the Thirteenth Prince's subordinates follow them? "
…
Many of the people present on the scene could not help but sigh when they found out Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er were the two people who had made a name for themselves in the capital a year ago. At the same time, they speculated that Duan Ling Tian and Huan' er had an extraordinary background.
After all, even the Third Miss of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Shu Qiu, was polite to them.
Meanwhile.
"A powerful sect outside the Wasteland? A Great Overarching Golden Celestial who's less than 100 years old? Moreover, the woman next to him is an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who's not even 100 years old? "
Along the way, the Golden Light King, the Golden Tiger, learned from Long Xiang Yun that Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er came from a powerful sect outside the Wasteland. Moreover, the sect they came from was most likely stronger than the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
After all, even Zhou Shu Qiu, who had the strongest background in the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, had to be polite to them.
"Now, you should know why I was so polite to that woman, right?"
Long Xiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Golden King, although that woman killed the Old King, I still have to give you a piece of advice. It's best for you to forget about your father's death. After all, it'll be difficult for you to seek revenge.
"Once you choose to take revenge, if you don't do it cleanly … Not only you, but even the entire Golden Light Mansion will be destroyed!"
Long Xiang Yun's tone grew heavier and heavier as he spoke.
"Thank you for your advice, Fourth Prince."
Although the Golden Tiger appeared to be a yes-man, he had already made up his mind.
'Even if I have to use up half of the Golden Light Mansion's wealth, I'll hire a Celestial Duke to kill that woman and the purple-clad young man. I don't care why my father wants to kill the purple-clad young man, but since he wants to kill the purple-clad young man, I'll fulfill his last wish!'
In the Wasteland, there was a type of assassin known as the Black Market Assassin.
The Black Market Assassin was a mysterious person. No one knew who they were. All they knew was that they were very strong and could kill most people in the Wasteland.
Among the Black Market Assassins, the strongest were Celestial Dukes.
It was said that many of the Celestial Dukes among the Black Market Assassins were high-ranking officials in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
The Black Market Assassins wanted to complete missions in the black market in exchange for generous rewards.
It was very likely that the Sect Leaders of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were Black Market Assassins.
Of course, even if they really did become assassins of the black market, they would definitely not easily expose or publicize it … because that was a very taboo matter.
They would not even tell their closest friends that they were Black Market Assassins.
Black Market Assassins were public enemies in the Wasteland.
However, they were still active in the Wasteland. As long as one was willing to pay the price, they would help one kill regardless of one's background.
For Black Market Assassins, even if they killed someone with an extraordinary background, they did not have to worry about the person's background.
After all, they would not reveal their identities even if they were to kill someone.
'Half of the Golden Light Mansion's wealth is enough to hire a Celestial Duke to kill an Earth-Rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial … That woman should be an Earth-Rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial at most.'
The Golden Tiger thought to himself.
'However, I'll have to verify whether she's an Earth-Rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial …'
With this thought in mind, the Golden Tiger took the initiative to bid farewell to Long Xiang Yun before he left.
After leaving, the Golden Tiger returned to the Golden Light Mansion's residence and instructed his capable subordinate to take charge of the selection held by the Imperial family of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Then, he left the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom and made his way to the center of the Wasteland.
The Black Market was located in the three cities in the center of the Wasteland.
The three cities were each controlled by one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
If he wanted to issue a mission to kill an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he would have to personally go to one of the three cities and enter the Black Market.
