War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“How could this happen? I’ve already kept the Devilseal Tablet inside the Spatial Ring, but why isn’t it in the ring?” King Qian felt as though he was going to go crazy mulling over this matter.

Was there something wrong with his Spatial Ring? Could it be that the Spatial Ring had swallowed the Devilseal Tablet?

At this moment, one of the old men behind King Qian speculated, “Fourth Imperial Highness, could Duan Ling Tian have done something to the Devilseal Tablet?”

“Done something? How could he have done something? He was so far away from me and the Devilseal Tablet! Don’t tell me both of you saw the Devilseal Tablet flying back to him?” King Qian shook his head. When he recalled the scene earlier, he really could not figure out how this ‘cooked duck’ had flown away.

The two old men fell silent when they heard his words.

As Saint Stage powerhouses, they had confidence in their strength and eyesight. They were certain the Devilseal Tablet would not be able to fly away under their noses. They would have noticed if it did.

At that time, they had clearly seen the Devilseal Tablet vanishing into thin air in King Qian’s hands. It was obvious it had been stored inside the Spatial Ring. However, King Qian said he could not find it in the ring.

“Fourth Imperial Highness, maybe you can try searching for it again?” The two old men could not help but ask. They felt it was impossible for it to vanish without a trace since it had been stored in the Spatial Ring.

King Qian who had lost his composure also lost the bearing a prince should possess as he began to curse out loud, “I’ve searched every corner of the Spatial Ring, but I still can’t find the Devilseal Tablet! How do you want me to search again? This is a hell of a mess!”

He could not accept the disappearance of the Devilseal Tablet at all.

He had also risked a lot by openly bringing the Devilseal Tablet back under King Rong’s eyes.

He knew King Rong must have gathered many Saint Stage powerhouses from his estate and was on his way over to King Qian’s estate.

Since King Rong knew about the Devilseal Tablet, it was impossible that he would not want a share of it.

If he had the Devilseal Tablet, he would still keep it all to himself even if he had to fight to the end with King Rong. However, the Devilseal Tablet was no longer in his hands, he felt extremely frustrated about this.

Not only did he lose the Devilseal Tablet, but he had also brought trouble to himself.

The most important thing was, he did not know how the Devilseal Tablet had disappeared from his Spatial Ring. He had clearly stored the Devilseal Tablet in his Spatial Ring.

“Don’t tell me the Super Saint Weapon of the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking has the ability to conceal itself?” After a long while, he began to make blind and irrational guesses. Even he could not convince himself of it.

“Fourth Brother, show yourself!” When King Qian was still mulling over where the Devilseal Tablet had gone, King Rong’s voice sounded from outside. King Rong had brought the Saint Stage powerhouses from his estate here in a mighty manner. He entered King Qian’s estate as though he was walking into an abandoned place.

The expression on King Qian’s face turned graver when he heard King Rong’s voice.

Situ Ming who had been silent all this while finally said, “Fourth Imperial Highness, King Rong must be here for the Devilseal Tablet. However, you don’t have the Devilseal Tablet. I’m afraid he won’t believe you even if you tell him the truth now.”

He also found this incident strange.

He had personally witnessed the Devilseal Tablet disappearing in King Qian’s hands. It was exactly like how it should be when an item was being stored in a Spatial Ring.

However, when they returned, King Qian actually told them the Devilseal Tablet was not in his Spatial Ring.

The first thought that rose up in his mind was that King Qian was acting shamelessly and wanted to deny the fact that he possessed the Devilseal Tablet. After all, if news of him possessing the Devilseal Tablet spread out, it would affect him greatly.

He thought King Qian was stupid to do something like this. Everyone had witnessed how the Devilseal Tablet had vanished in his hands. How could anyone believe him unless he swore on the lightning penalty oath?

However, if King Qian had a guilty conscience, would he swear on the lightning penalty oath?

Until now, Situ Ming still believed the Devilseal Tablet was inside King Qian’s Spatial Ring. The act he had put on was just a show and a way for him to feign innocence.

His intention was, naturally, to fool the people around him. If he could not even fool the people around him, how could he fool outsiders?

However, when King Qian brought his two other Saint Stage powerhouses to meet King Rong, an unexpected scene took place.

“I, King Qian, Zhu Xuan Qing, swear by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that if I have the Devilseal Tablet in my possession, I’m willing to be struck to death by the lightning penalty!” Faced with King Rong, King Qian instantly swore by the lightning penalty oath before King Rong had a chance to speak.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Along with nine claps of thunder, the lightning penalty was completed.

Although the lightning penalty was completed, King Qian did not suffer any punishment at all. There was no lightning penalty.

The fact that King Qian swore by the lightning penalty oath so straightforwardly did not only take King Rong and the Saint Stage powerhouses from his estate by surprise, but it even surprised the people on his side. Naturally, the people on his side who were surprised were only Situ Ming and Ye Mu Bai.

Ye Mu Bai had similar thoughts with Situ Ming. He had thought King Qian was just putting on a show.

However, the fact that King Qian had sworn by the lightning penalty oath made them realize he was not acting earlier.

“Impossible!” King Rong’s face was filled with disbelief when he saw King Qian swearing by the lightning penalty oath, but he was not struck by lightning at all. “Fourth Brother, what tricks are you trying to pull now? Everyone saw the Devilseal Tablet landing in your hand before it was stored in your Spatial Ring. And yet, you’re saying the Devilseal Tablet is not in your possession?”

“I’ve already sworn by the lightning penalty oath. It’s not my problem if you don’t believe me!” King Qian was originally in a bad mood, he became furious immediately when he saw King Rong doubting him even after he had sworn on the lightning penalty oath.

After he finished speaking, he was too lazy to bother with King Rong, and he turned to leave.

King Rong was rendered speechless. Nobody could avoid the lightning penalty if they were lying. This was something widely known in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Although King Rong did not stop King Qian, he looked at Situ Ming and the others before asking loudly in his deep voice, “What’s going on?”

One of the two old men beside King Qian said, “Second Imperial Highness, we know you want the Devilseal Tablet. However, when the Fourth Imperial Highness came back, he had searched his Spatial Ring, but he couldn’t find any trace of the Devilseal Tablet. It’s apparent Duan Ling Tian’s not sincere in handing the Devilseal Tablet over. He must have played some tricks when he handed the Devilseal Tablet over to the Fourth Prince Imperial Highness. The Devilseal Tablet must still be in his possession.”

“That’s right! After all, the Devilseal Tablet is one of the Ten Great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Perhaps, it has some special power that we’re unaware of. The knowledge we have of the Devilseal Tablet is only based on the rumors in the Dao Martial Saint Land,” the other old man chimed in.

After they finished speaking, they instantly turned to chase after King Qian.

“Damn Fourth Brother! Why didn’t he check his Spatial Ring earlier?” At this moment, there was no way for King Rong not to believe this even if he refused to believe it.

Since King Qian had already sworn on the lightning penalty oath, he had no choice but to believe it.

At this moment, King Rong could only bring his men back to his estate. It was pointless for them to stay in King Qian’s estate now.

“Spare no efforts in finding Duan Ling Tian! I must get my hands on the Devilseal Tablet!” After returning to King Rong’s estate, he immediately gave an order. He could not resist the temptation of the Devilseal Tablet. If he could get his hands on the Devilseal Tablet, he was confident he would become the master of Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family.

After giving out his order, King Rong chuckled sinisterly. “Fourth Prince, now that Lin Dong died, I’m sure you won’t have peaceful days in the future.”

When King Rong was giving out his order, King Qian who had gradually calmed down gave the same order as well.

After he had given his order, he finally recalled Lin Dong who had been killed by Duan Ling Tian. He immediately broke out in cold sweat. “Damn it! I’m the one who invited Lin Dong from the Lin Clan here. Many people from the Lin Clan know about this. The fact is he died in Windfall Nation. The Lin Clan won’t care that he died in a Death Duel, they won’t give a damn about the details at all. They would think it’s my fault for inviting him to Windfall Nation.”

The moment he thought of this, King Qian became very frustrated, thinking that he had gone out for wool but came home shorn.

Although the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family was not overly afraid of the Lin Clan since they were both sixth-rate forces, King Qian was clearly at fault in regards to this matter. Even the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family might not take his side. He would need to clean up this mess on his own.

Lin Dong was dead, and the Devilseal Tablet had shown itself.

Along with the denouement of Duan Ling Tian and Lin Dong’s Death Duel, these two pieces of news swept through the capital of Windfall Nation like a typhoon. Moreover, it was spreading at full speed in all directions.

With this speed, it did not take long for the news to spread to the entire Windfall Nation and to the entire Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district!

Who was Lin Dong?

The strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking!

When the news of his death, he had died even after he had broken through to the Saint Stage, spread, it set off a thunderstorm in the entire Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district.

Naturally, Lin Dong’s death was not the most explosive news. The most explosive news was about the Devilseal Tablet.

The Devilseal Tablet was one of the well-known Ten Great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Let alone the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, there were countless people in the Dao Martial Saint Land who wanted to get their hands on it.

Due to this reason, many powerhouses were in a frenzy when they heard this news.

As the two news took the capital of Windfall Nation by storm, a travel-weary figure entered the capital.

His first destination as soon as he arrived in Windfall Nation was the Situ Clan.

“I’m here to look for Situ Hao.” This person did not enter the Situ Clan through the front door. Instead, he hovered in the air as his thunderous voice spread in Situ Clan.

This person was a man dressed in black with a grimacing mask on his face
