Chapter 2776: Three Celestial Dukes!

Despite being aware of the flawlessly beautiful woman in the portrait was in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence in Tai Yi City, no one from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, including Long Dong Ping, the emperor, dared to harbor any nefarious thoughts.

First of all, the purple-clad young man who was always by the woman’s side was too mysterious. Nobody could completely confirm his background, therefore, they did not dare to recklessly offend him. Second, since the woman’s portraits had been spread throughout Tai Yi City, there would surely be experts from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland who were interested in her. They knew they were no match for these experts.

For these reasons, although the residence was in an uproar, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s courtyard was relatively peaceful. However, this was only the calm before the storm.

Long Fei Yun who had just returned from outside said solemnly, “Brother Duan, Miss Huan’er’s portraits have already circulated in all of Tai Yi City. The high-rank Celestial Kingdoms aren’t difficult to deal with, but the problem lies with the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. They would be troublesome to deal with.”

Qin Yu’s expression was rather unsightly as he said, “I didn’t think the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom would act so decisively and quickly…” Although he was not certain of Duan Ling Tian’s relationship with Huan’er, at the very least, he was certain Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were friends. For this reason, he did not wish any harm to come to Duan Ling Tian’s friend. Duan Ling Tian’s friend was also a friend of his.

As soon as Long Fei Yun finished speaking, before Duan Ling Tian could reply, a thunderous voice rang from outside. “I’m Elder Huang Chao from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Bring the woman in the portrait to me at once!”

Long Fei Yun’s expression turned grim as his eyes widened. “The Elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect?” He muttered to himself, “From what I know, the elders of Tai Yi Celestial Sects are Celestial Dukes. If this person is really Huang Chao, he must be a Celestial Duke!”

Celestial Duke!

Even in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, a high-rank Celestial Kingdom, there was no Celestial Duke at all. The strongest person in the kingdom was only a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. A Celestial Duke was a huge threat to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom!

“The elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect is a Celestial Duke?” Upon hearing Long Fei Yun’s words, Qin Yu’s expression worsened. A hint of concern brimmed in his eyes. Although he had expected some experts from the three major Celestial Sects would come looking for Huan’er, he did not expect the first person to come looking for trouble would be a Celestial Duke!

“The elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect?” Duan Ling Tian whose expression remained calm all along finally showed slight changes when he heard the thunderous voice from outside the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence that was arranged by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

At this moment, a yellow-clad middle-aged man with a medium built and ordinary appearance stood unmoving like a statue outside the residence of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Despite his appearance, he had a dignified and majestic air about him.

At this moment, the initially empty courtyard was slowly filled with people who were attracted by the commotion. Among these people, there were the powerhouses who were younger than 100 years old, a few princes, and their subordinates.

“Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s elder?”

“Based on my knowledge, even the weakest elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is a One Basic Celestial Duke… In other words, this person must be a Celestial Duke!”

“Who would have thought after the appearance of the woman who’s by the purple-clad young man and the thirteenth prince’s side is exposed, the elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would come first?”

“Just one elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect can easily destroy the entire Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom!”

“Based on his aura, there’s no doubt he’s a Celestial Duke.”

Most of them were waiting for Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, to arrive before they greeted the elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

“His Majesty still hasn’t come?”

“What if the elder from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect loses his temper because he feels we’re being disrespectful and kills us?”

Everyone was still fretting when a voice rang from the mansion. “Elder Huang Chao, thank you for gracing us with your presence. Pardon me for being slow to welcome you!”

At this moment, Long Dong Ping who was dressed in a dragon robe appeared with several men in tow. He deferentially paid respect to the yellow-clad middle-aged man.

“Greetings, elder Huang Chao!” After that, the people who had gathered in the front yard bowed and greeted the yellow-clad middle-aged man in unison.

Huang Chao looked at Long Dong Ping and spoke in a tone that was void of politeness, “You’re Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s Emperor?”

“Yes,” Long Dong Ping promptly replied as he sighed inwardly. ‘Rumor has it that Yun Qi Ling, the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, is quite cunning. Who knew he would inform the experts from the major Celestial Sects before he spread the woman’s portraits in Tai Yi City.’

Long Dong Ping has also heard about Huang Chao. He was a lecherous person who could not live without women. However, he still did not expect Huang Chao to be the first person to show up. After mulling over it, he was certain Yun Qi Ling had deliberately planned for this. Otherwise, Huang Chao would not have arrived so quickly.

Huang Chao raised his hand and revealed the portrait in his hand as he said domineeringly, “I’m sure you heard my words earlier. Bring the woman to me at once!”

The portrait showed a woman with beautiful and flawless features. Moreover, her figure was extremely seductive. The portrait was extremely life-like. Although most of the people present on the scene had already seen the portrait, their hearts still raced when they looked at the portrait again.

“Elder Huang Chao, I…” Long Dong Ping said rather uneasily, trying to explain his difficulties.

However, before Long Dong Ping could finish his words, a soft and androgynous voice rang from all directions. “Huang Chao, you’re really quick to act! If I were to arrive a little later, the beauty would’ve been taken by you!”

Swoosh!

A figure that moved as fast as the wind appeared near Huang Chao.

In just a moment, a scoff could be heard as a coarse and energetic voice rang in the air. “That beauty is mine! Both of you can screw off!”

Then, a tall middle-aged man with a sturdy build appeared before everyone.

“Xue Lang! Teng Qing!” Seeing the two individuals who appeared one after another, Huang Chao’s expression grew dark. He did not expect these two people to come as well. One was a Guardian of the Thousand Spider Celestial Sect, and the other was an elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. Most importantly, the two newcomers were Celestial Dukes like him. Although he knew these two people were also in Tai Yi City and also had a penchant for beautiful women like him, he did not expect them to act so quickly as well.

‘Xue Lang? Teng Qing?’ Upon hearing Huang Chao’s words, Long Dong Ping’s eyes widened, and a frightened expression appeared on his face. “Even these two people have come?” Although he had never seen Xue Lang or Teng Qing before, he had heard a lot about them.

Xue Lang, a Guardian Elder of Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, was a Celestial Duke.

Teng Qing, an elder of Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, was also a Celestial Duke.

‘In Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, there are five experts who have a strong liking for beautiful women. Who knew three out of the five would appear today.’ Long Dong Ping sighed inwardly. ‘However, the woman with the purple-clad young man is indeed flawless in every aspect. All normal men would be moved by her appearance. The other two must not be in the city. Otherwise, there’s no doubt there would be five instead of three people here.’

Long Dong Ping found it difficult to maintain his composure. After all, three Celestial Dukes had suddenly appeared before him. Moreover, at this moment, all three Celestial Dukes were staring at him intently. The pressure he felt was as though three mountains were pressing down on him, causing him to feel suffocated.
