“Huan’er! Qiu Ling! Protect me, and don’t let anyone disturb me!” The Profound Divine Metal sounded so solemn when it spoke that Duan Ling Tian did not dare to delay. He quickly sent a Voice Transmission to Huan’er and Qiu Ling.

Upon hearing the anxiety in Duan Ling Tian’s voice, Huan’er and Qiu Ling similarly did not dare to delay and immediately did as they were told.

This was especially true for Huan’er. She quickly raised her hand before a gust of cold wind blew past them. Then, four walls constructed entirely from ice were erected around Duan Ling Tian to protect him. Although the ice walls were extremely cold, under Huan’er’s control, Duan Ling Tian was not affected by the chill at all.

At this moment, a voice rang out in the air. “Y-you… You killed the Old King of Golden Light Mansion!” It seemed to belong to a middle-aged servant of the black-clad old man. His voice was trembling as he looked at Huan’er in terror and disbelief.

As soon as the middle-aged servant spoke, the onlookers regained their senses as well. A shocked expression could be seen on their faces. When they found out the identity of the old man, they could not help but discuss among themselves.

“The Old King of Golden Light Mansion?”

“The black-clad old man was the Old King of Golden Light Mansion?”

“I heard that the Old King of Golden Light Mansion was not only a yellow-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, but he was also an excellent mediocre Celestial Alchemist and Celestial Weapon Craftsman!”

“That’s not all. I heard that the Old King of Golden Light Mansion possessed an extremely special mediocre Celestial Fire. It’s both hard and soft and can be used to refine pills and forge weapons. It’s a rare type of Celestial Fire.”

“The King of Golden Light Mansion was known to be temperamental. If he finds out his father was killed on the streets, he won’t let the matter go!”

“Well, this white-clad woman is clearly no pushover… Look at how powerful she is! She easily killed the Old King of Golden Light Mansion. It’s obvious that she’s much more powerful than the Old King of Golden Light Mansion.”

Most people felt that with the temper of the King of Golden Light Mansion, he would definitely seek revenge.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ling frowned slightly when he learned about the old man’s identity. ‘The Old King of Golden Light Mansion?’ Based on what he knew, As far as he knew, the Golden Light Mansion had a close relationship with the fourth prince.

On the other hand, Huan’er, who had heard the middle-aged servant’s words, looked at the middle-aged servant coldly with her beautiful limpid eyes. “Anyone who wants to kill Brother Ling Tian should go to hell! You better pray that no harm comes to Brother Ling Tian. Otherwise, I’ll destroy the Golden Light Mansion!”

Destroy the Golden Light Mansion!

When Huan’er words rang in the air, the entire place fell silent. Her voice was so cold that it made people feel as though they had been thrown into an ice cellar.

“This young miss…” Qiu Ling smiled bitterly when he heard Huan’er’s words. Regardless of her strength, he knew Huan’er was bold enough to do such a thing. He could see that she cared for Duan Ling Tian more than she cared about her life. He thought to himself with a sigh, ‘This young man is truly blessed to have such a partner in his life.’

…

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what was going on in his surroundings.

His face was distorted in pain. His flesh and bones ached, causing him to tremble. It felt as though tens of thousands of ants were biting him. He was in so much agony that he felt as though he was going to pass out. He gritted his teeth and pulled through bit by bit.

During the process, Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel the changes in his bones, flesh, and blood. The transformation felt similar to when he had just broken through and became a Great Overarching Golden Celestial today. The only difference was the transformation now felt like it was on a larger scale. He could feel his bones, flesh, and blood becoming stronger, stronger than that of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

Time passed quietly.

The Profound Divine Metal tirelessly helped Duan Ling Tian to temper his body so that his body would be comparable to an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. This was to help Duan Ling Tian’s body withstand the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame.

The reason why Great Overarching Golden Celestials were far stronger than Golden Celestials was not just due to the qualitative change in their Celestial Origin Energies but also due to the physical changes of their bodies. This was also the reason why Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials were far stronger than Great Overarching Golden Celestials.

…

Meanwhile, a fierce voice brimming with sorrow rang in the air. “Father!” Soon after, a bearded man in scarlet robes rushed over.

The bearded man was tall and muscular. He looked like an iron tower. His eyebrows and eyes resembled that of a tiger. He carried with him an air of dignity and majesty. This man was the master of Golden Light Mansion, the Golden Tiger. At this moment, he looked at the old man’s corpse with a cold and angry expression on his face. He could feel anger coursing through his veins. He moved toward the middle-aged servant who accompanied the black-clad old man and grabbed the middle-aged servant’s collar with one hand and lifted him up as he barked, “Who did it?!” He did it so easily that it was like an eagle catching a chicken.

Faced with the brunt of the Golden Tiger’s anger, the middle-aged servant was so scared that his face turned pale. He hastily extended his hand and pointed at Huan’er who was standing near the ice walls. He said in a trembling voice, “King… It was her… it was her…”

The Golden Tiger threw the middle-aged servant aside before he glared at Huan’er and asked coldly, “Why did you kill my father?”

The Golden Tiger was not much stronger than his father. Since Huan’er had easily killed his father. He knew he was no match for her. For this reason, he did not recklessly attack her.

However, Huan’er ignored the Golden Tiger’s question, causing his expression to darken.

At this moment, Qiu Ling looked at the Golden Tiger and calmly said, “Golden Light King, everyone present can testify that your father attempted to kill Duan Ling Tian first. We were acting in defense. Your father’s death is nobody’s fault but his own.”

“Who are you?!” Before the Golden Tiger came, he had already learned about the ins and outs of the matter through the Communication Celestial Talisman that the middle-aged servant had sent to him. However, how could he just let go of the people who killed the father of the dignified King of the Golden Light Mansion?

“My name is Qiu Ling, and I’m the subordinate of His Highness, the Thirteenth Prince,” Qiu Ling calmly replied.

The thirteenth prince!

As soon as the crowd heard Qiu Ling’s words, they broke out in a commotion again. Most of them were surprised.

“So these people are the thirteenth prince’s men.”

“It seems like the Old King of Golden Light Mansion screwed up this time. Not only did he try to kill the thirteenth prince’s man, but he was killed instead.”

“Golden Light King has no choice but to let go of this matter.”

“I wonder why the Old King of the Golden Light Mansion wanted to kill one of the thirteenth prince’s men… Did they have a conflict? Even then, that young man is the thirteenth prince’s man. He shouldn’t have acted so recklessly, right? ”

The crowd was puzzled by the black-clad old man’s action. They could not understand why he was so impulsive.

“The thirteenth prince?” Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Ling’s words, the Golden Tiger’s expression darkened even more. His eyes flashed for a moment before he sent a Communication Celestial Talisman. Nobody knew who he sent the Communication Celestial Talisman to.

“The Golden Light King still wants to call for help?”

“Who can he find help from? These are the thirteenth prince’s men after all…”

“In the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, apart from the emperor, the only ones who would dare to oppose the thirteenth prince are the fourth prince, seventh prince, and the fourth miss of the Zhou clan. I wonder who he asked for help from?”

“I heard that the Golden Light King and the fourth prince have a good relationship… In my opinion, he must have called the fourth prince.”

“He called the fourth prince? It seems like there’ll be a good show to watch today.”

The crowd whispered furtively among themselves. It was not difficult for them to figure out that the Golden Light King had called the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom for help.

“The fourth prince?” Qiu Ling cocked an eyebrow, clearly not worried. He did not even plan to call the thirteenth prince.

“Huh? Why aren’t they using the Communication Celestial Talisman to call the thirteenth prince over?” The crowd was confused when they saw that Qiu Ling and Huan’er seemed to have no intention of calling the thirteenth prince for help. Was it possible that these two people think they could fight the fourth prince?

“Your Fourth Highness!” The Golden Light King, the Golden Tiger, respectfully greeted Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, as soon as he appeared with an old man in tow.

“Golden Light King, you said the Old King was killed by my thirteenth brother?” Long Xiang Yun had a sour expression on his face as well. Although the Golden Light Mansion was not particularly powerful, it had its uses as well. For this reason, he had maintained a good relationship with the Golden Light Mansion.

Almost everyone in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom knew of the relationship between Long Xiang Yun and the Golden Light Mansion. When he heard that the Old King of Golden Light Mansion was killed by the thirteenth prince’s man, he felt as though he had been slapped. Men lived by honor as trees stood to live! As the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, his pride was more important than anything else! How could he not be furious?
