The reason Ye Mu Bai came here was so he could witness Duan Ling Tian’s death with his own eyes.
Duan Ling Tian had killed his third brother, he hated him to the core. He wanted to tear Duan Ling Tian into a thousand pieces, but he did not have that ability and could only depend on King Qian. However, it seemed as though the person he thought he could depend on could not do anything to Duan Ling Tian as well.
Initially, he was curious about the Devilseal Tablet as well, but he had completely lost his interest when he found out Duan Ling Tian had killed Lin Dong. Naturally, his lack of interest had a lot to do with his self-awareness. He knew he did not possess the ability to obtain the Devilseal Tablet.
Ye Mu Bai looked at Duan Ling Tian. He really wanted to charge forward and seek revenge for his third brother with his own hands.
However, when he recalled how Duan Ling Tian was able to kill a Saint Stage powerhouse, he became scared. In the end, he did not even dare to look at Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, 90% of the people present had their attention on King Qian’s estate and King Rong’s estate due to their fight. It seemed as though they had forgotten about Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian sneered when he saw King Rong and King Qian was about to fight.
“Hasn’t he discovered the Devilseal Tablet is not in his Spatial Ring?” At this moment, a voice rang by Duan Ling Tian’s ears. It was the voice of Elder Huo, the paG.o.da spirit from the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da.
“He must not have the time to check if the Devilseal Tablet is in his Spatial Ring. After all, the Devilseal Tablet disappeared in his hand as soon as he thought about putting it in his Spatial Ring. It’s only natural he thinks the Devilseal Tablet is in his Spatial Ring,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission.
“Perhaps, it would never occur to him — not even in his dream — that you have the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da,” Elder Huo replied.
Elder Huo was standing at the first level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da. In his hands, there was a stone tablet with a chipped corner. It was none other than the Devilseal Tablet.
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian had thrown the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian, he had turned the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da into a speck of dust and controlled it to follow and stay close to the Devilseal Tablet. The ability to control the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da was something he obtained after he restored the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da.
His ability to control the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da was only limited to its movement, but that was more than enough for him.
Earlier, when King Qian was about to put the Devilseal Tablet into his own Spatial Ring with just a thought, Duan Ling Tian had activated the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da in a timely manner and put the Devilseal Tablet into it.
King Qian did not check if the Devilseal Tablet had entered his Spatial Ring. As far as he was concerned, the Devilseal Tablet was lying safely in his ring. He was unaware there was no Devilseal Tablet in his Spatial Ring at all.
“Look at the dogfight! Both will only end up with a mouthful of fur!” Duan Ling Tian looked at them coldly. He was happy to watch them fight.
In his opinion, King Qian wanted him dead so he was his enemy. King Rong was not a good person either.
Duan Ling Tian was not interested in the outcome of the fight. Moreover, he knew King Qian would eventually discover the Devilseal Tablet was not in his Spatial Ring. Due to this reason, he decided to leave first.
“Young Master Hang, I’ll leave my senior brother and the others in your care,” Duan Ling Tian said to Situ Hang through Voice Transmission.
“Master Duan, you’re going to leave?” Situ Hang s.h.i.+fted his gaze from King Rong and King Qian to Duan Ling Tian when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Situ Hang, naturally, tried to persuade him to stay, but Duan Ling Tian rejected him.
After bidding farewell to Bai Li Hong and the others, Duan Ling Tian left quietly. He did not return to the capital of Windfall Nation. Instead, he continued to head to the northeast direction.
His destination was the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. This was not his final destination. His final destination was the Greenwave Han Mansion.
He had already enquired about the location of Greenwave Han Mansion when he was in the capital of Windfall Nation. From Windfall Nation, one would have to travel through half of Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion to go there.
Naturally, Bai Li Hong, Sima, and the others felt reluctant to part with Duan Ling Tian. However, they knew there were things Duan Ling Tian needed to do. To Duan Ling Tian, the safety of his two fiancées was the most important now.
Previously, Duan Ling Tian had spoken to them about the purpose of his trip. Due to this reason, they did not persuade him to stay.
In the distant, King Rong and King Qian continued to fight.
Standing behind King Qian, apart from the two old men, Situ Ming was also a Saint Stage powerhouse. Altogether there were three Saint Stage powerhouses. There were four originally, but Ye Feng had been killed by the Devilseal Tablet.
King Rong only had two Saint Stage powerhouses on his side. The other Saint Stage powerhouse had also been killed by the Devilseal Tablet since he was a Devil Cultivator.
Based on this, one could see King Qian had the upper hand. Due to this reason, King Rong could not do anything at all. He could only watch as King Qian left.
“I should have brought more people with me.” King Rong’s expression was grave. He regretted not bringing more Saint Stage powerhouses with him. Due to this, he was powerless to stop King Qian from leaving.
“Let’s go! Let’s go back! Gather the men and let’s take a stroll around Fourth Brother’s King Qian’s estate.” When King Rong thought of the Devilseal Tablet being in King Qian’s possession, he, naturally, felt dissatisfied. He clenched his teeth as he returned to King Rong’s estate and prepared to gather his men so that he could pressure King Qian into sharing the Devilseal Tablet with him.
When the people present saw King Rong and King Qian leaving, they knew there was no more show to be watched.
When they regained their senses, they immediately turned to look at the spot they had last seen Duan Ling Tian only to discover he was gone.
“Where’s Duan Ling Tian?”
“When did he leave? I didn’t notice at all!”
“Earlier, we’re so focused on King Rong and King Qian, we did not pay him any attention at all. It’s only natural we didn’t notice his departure!”
Since there was no more show to be watched, and the main character, Duan Ling Tian, had also left, the people began to leave one by one.
Naturally, there many Saint Stage powerhouses from various sects who eyed each other before they began to search the surrounding inch by inch. Their intention was to find Duan Ling Tian and s.n.a.t.c.h the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic from him. Moreover, since Duan Ling Tian had the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic and the Devilseal Tablet, he might have other treasures as well. Due to this reason, they searched for him diligently.
Unfortunately, their efforts were all in vain since Duan Ling Tian had left a long time ago.
When the group of Situ Clan’s members returned to the capital of Windfall Nation, Situ Hao asked Situ Hang through Voice Transmission, “Hang’er, did Master Duan bid farewell to you before he left?”
Situ Hang nodded.
“Did Master Duan return to the Situ Clan?” Situ Hao asked again.
Situ Hang shook his head. “From Master Duan’s tone, I don’t think he’ll return to the capital anymore. Before he left, he asked me to take good care of Interim Advisor Bai Li and the few others. It’s apparent he’s left for good and has entrusted them to me.”
“What a pity.” Situ Hao sighed. Even he was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s action today. He did not expect him to be so strong and the Devilseal Tablet, the Super Saint Weapon that was ranked in the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking, to be in his possession. Duan Ling Tian was still the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan the day before yesterday!
‘I think Master Duan is the one who destroyed the Dark Nether Sect. Since he had the Devilseal Tablet, it’s not surprising that he was able to kill the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect,’ Situ Hao thought to himself.
However, when he recalled the Devilseal Tablet was currently in King Qian’s possession, and their clan was under King Rong’s estate who was on opposing sides with King Qian’s estate, Situ Hao began to worry again.
King Qian who had possessed the Devilseal Tablet would be like a winged tiger. King Rong might not even be able to overpower him.
If King Rong failed in the battle for the throne, King Qian would become the master of Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family. At that time, their Situ Clan definitely would not have a good ending. He knew how ruthless King Qian was. Due to this reason, his heart was filled with worries when he thought about this.
Although Bai Li Hong and the others traveled together with the people from Situ Clan, their topic of discussion, carried out via Voice Transmission, was completely different.
“I really feel dissatisfied!” Chen Shao Shuai said through Voice Transmission, “The Devilseal Tablet is one of the Ten Great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking in the Dao Martial Saint Land, but it has been taken by King Qian just like that!”
“That’s right! King Qian is King Rong’s mortal enemy, and the Situ Clan is on King Rong’s side. If King Qian gains power, it won’t be good for us as well,” Nangong Yi chimed in.
Sima and the others were worried as well. Only Bai Li Hong remained composed as though he was not worried at all.
Meanwhile, King Qian and his men had already returned to his estate. As soon as he returned, he smiled as he prepared to take the Devilseal Tablet out of the Spatial Ring.
However, when he wanted to take the Devilseal Tablet out, he discovered everything was accounted for in the ring except for the Devilseal Tablet that had vanished without a trace.
‘Impossible!’ This was the first thought that rose up in his mind. He felt it was impossible that the Devilseal Tablet was not in his Spatial Ring. He had personally put it inside.
At that time, there was no one beside him so it was impossible for them to have taken the Devilseal Tablet.
King Qian instantly searched the s.p.a.ce inside the Spatial Ring earnestly, looking through every item in there. However, he still did not find it in the end.
Sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and his expression turned grave. “What’s going on? Who the h.e.l.l can tell me what’s happening?”
At this moment, King Qian also began to lose his composure.
“Fourth Imperial Highness?” At this moment, the two old men behind him noticed something was amiss. When they learned that the Devilseal Tablet was not in King Qian’s Spatial Ring, they were shocked.
What was going on?
Naturally, they did not doubt King Qian’s words. They had sworn on the lightning penalty oath when they pledge their allegiance to him. Due to this reason, they knew King Qian would not deceive them.
