War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Hu! Hu! Hu!

All the customers in the restaurant saw whirlpools appearing around Duan Ling Tian as he grabbed Dongfang Zhu’s hand.

The whirlpools caused the wind to blow violently in the restaurant.

“Ahhhhh!”

The moment the whirlpools appeared, everyone heard a piercing shriek. Dongfang Zhu was squealing like a pig that was about to be slaughtered. He looked like he was in extreme pain. His expression was twisted as he trembled violently.

Dongfang Zhu felt as though he was being torn into pieces!

“This… What’s he doing?”

“This purple-clad young man doesn’t seem like an ordinary person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to make the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan stay still stay even though he’s in so much pain!”

“Based on his expressions and screaming, he seems to be suffering from some indescribable pain. I wonder what the purple-clad young man is doing!”

“There seems to be a powerful Divine Consciousness around them… Is he using a Soul Attack to torture the Dongfang Clan’s Second Young Master?”

“It’s possible!”

The customers began to discuss among themselves as Duan Ling Tian devoured Dongfang Zhu’s Innate Spiritual Root without a care in the world. Most of them were stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s mysterious technique. Some of them could sense the Divine Consciousness and speculated that Dongfang Zhu was being tortured by a Soul Attack.

None of them would ever guess that Duan Ling Tian was devouring Dongfang Zhu’s Innate Spiritual Root to strengthen his own Innate Spiritual Root. It would never cross their minds that such a thing was even possible!

Qiu Mu Qing, the Young Miss of Clarity City’s Qiu Clan, was amazed by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. However, a hint of sympathy could be seen in her eyes when she saw Dongfang Zhu being tortured by Duan Ling Tian.

“Ahh!” Dongfang Zhu continued to shriek in pain. His screaming caused chills to run up the spines of people who listened to it. It was as though they could feel his pain.

However, no one could imagine the pain Dongfang Zhu was in. His pain was not only physical, but he felt it in his soul as well! At this moment, he felt as though his soul was burning. A terrifying force seemed to be tearing his soul apart and extracting something from it! The only fortunate thing was the terrifying force quickly disappeared as soon it appeared. After a few moments, his soul seemed to have returned to its normal state.

Dongfang Zhu took in a deep breath. His robe was damp from his sweat. He was panting heavily. It felt as though death had just brushed past him.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise resonated in the air. Duan Ling Tian had released Dongfang Zhu’s hand and gave him a slap that sent him flying.

Dongfang Zhu who was caught unprepared flew out the window and landed on the streets. People on the streets instantly gathered around. They all recognized him.

“Isn’t this the Dongfang Clan’s Second Young Master? Why does he look so wretched?”

“I saw him flying out of the restaurant… He must have suffered a beating in there.”

“Who’s so daring to treat the Second Young Master from the Dongfan Clan this way? I’m afraid only disciples from the Feng Clan dare to act this way. I wonder which prodigy from the Feng Clan did this.”

People on the streets began to gossip among themselves. They were shocked to see Dongfang Zhu in such a state. It was definitely a rare sight to be able to see the Dongfang Clan’s Second Young Master beaten up.

Dongfang Zhu threw up a mouthful of blood. He quickly got up and looked viciously into the restaurant before he left in a hurry.

‘No matter who you are, I won’t let this matter go! You must die today!’ Dongfang Zhu vowed to himself inwardly as he made his way back to the Dongfang Clan’s estate. He was going to complain to his father so he would send out the powerhouses in the clan to avenge him. He was going to kill the purple-clad young man in return for the humiliation he had suffered!

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Duan Ling Tian who had sent Dongfang Zhu flying with slap casually sat down under everyone’s watchful eyes.

“Miss Qiu, please sit,” Duan Ling Tian called out to Qiu Mu Qing.

Qiu Mu Qing finally regained her senses when she heard his words. She quickly sat down. There was no joy in her eyes when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. Instead, a hint of worry could be seen in her eyes.

“It’s best if you hurry and leave Clarity City… Dongfang Zhu must have gone back to get more men. You won’t be able to leave once the powerhouses from Dongfang Clan arrives!” Qiu Mu Qing entreated Duan Ling Tian to leave as soon as she sat down. She was quite fond of the young man who seemed different from most young men she knew. She was unwilling to see him suffer in the hands of the powerhouses from Dongfang Clan. That was why she had urged him to leave.

The customers nodded in agreement after they heard Qiu Mu Qing’s words. They all agreed the purple-clad young man should leave and now was the best time to do so. If he waited any longer, the powerhouses from Dongfang Clan would arrive soon!

“Miss Qiu, I appreciate your concern.” Duan Ling Tian only shook his head when he heard Qiu Mu Qing’s words. “I still have matters to attend to in Clarity City. I can’t leave just yet.”

That was right. Duan Ling Tian had come to Clarity City to find information about places where there were a lot of wicked men in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He had not achieved his purpose of coming here, there was no way he would leave.

Dongfan Clan? A mere third-rate force in the Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land was not worthy of his attention.

“Waiter! Get me another set of utensils!” Duan Ling Tian called out to the waiter as everyone watched him. He already had his utensils, the extra utensils were clearly meant for Qiu Mu Qing!

‘Is he not afraid of death?’ That was most people’s thoughts.

“Waiter, it’s okay,” Qiu Mu Qing said as she stopped the waiter. After that, she placed a few Saint Stones on the table to pay for Duan Ling Tian’s meal. She had a worried expression on her face as she grabbed Duan Ling Tian’s hand and pulled him out of the restaurant. “Come with me!”

At this moment, Qiu Mu Qing seemed to have forgotten about the proper etiquette between males and females!

Duan Ling Tian was stunned as well as Qiu Mu Qing forcefully pulled him out of the restaurant. He had even forgotten to stop her.

How come he did not see this bold side of her earlier?

Qiu Mu Qing left the restaurant in a hurry as she held Duan Ling Tian’s hand. Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention.

“Eh? Isn’t this the Young Miss of Qiu Clan?”

“The Young Miss of Qiu Clan? The most beautiful woman in Clarity City? It’s really her!!”

“What did I just see? The Young Miss of Qiu Clan is holding another man’s hand!”

“I thought she’s going to be married off to the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan? What’s going on?”

“Earlier, Dongfang Zhu was thrown out of the restaurant, and now, the Young Miss of Qiu Clan is holding another man’s hand. Is it possible that it isn’t someone from the Feng Clan who threw Dongfang Zhu out of the restaurant?”

The people on the streets began to gossip among themselves when they saw Qiu Mu Qing holding Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

A lot of men felt dissatisfied and heartbroken when they saw this!

The Young Miss of Qiu Clan was known as the most beautiful woman in Clarity City. However, she was currently holding another man’s hand, and they seemed quite close.

“No wonder the Young Miss of Qiu Clan refuses to marry the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan. As it turns out, she already has someone else in her heart!”

People began to come to their own conclusion when they saw this. However, they learned about what happened from the customers that walked out of the restaurant.

“The purple-clad young man didn’t know the Young Miss of Qiu Clan prior to this?”

“Are you sure?”

“If that’s the case, is it love at first sight? She rather sit next to a stranger than the Second Master of Dongfang Clan… How pitiful! He’s defeated by a stranger!”

“If it’s true, then it’s truly a pity. However, I don’t think this is the first time the Young Miss of Qiu Clan met that purple-clad young man!”

“I agree. Maybe they only acted like strangers in front of Dongfang Zhu. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have held the other man’s hand.”

Let alone the people on the streets, even Qiu Mu Qing did not expect herself to grab another man’s hand on her own accord.

After Qiu Mu Qing and Duan Ling Tian left the restaurant, she pulled him into a deserted alley. Only then did she sigh in relief. When she regained her senses, she quickly let go of Duan Ling Tian’s hand.
