Chapter 2738 The Invisibility Talisman“The Divine Crystal?!” Duan Ling Tian was shocked, hearing the white-clad man’s words. A hint of killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the white-clad man. ‘How does he know about Huan’er’s Divine Crystal?’

The killing intent had instinctively arisen. Duan Ling Tian could not let anyone find out about Huan’er possessing the Divine Crystal.

Although the killing intent only flashed briefly in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, the white-clad man did not fail to notice it. He said mockingly, “What? You want to kill me? It’s not that I look down on you, but no one in the Wasteland is able to kill me, let alone you.” He spoke with such confidence that it would inspire admiration in others. As though to highlight his words, a burst of powerful energy surged from his body as soon as he finished speaking. The energy rippled out and hit Duan Ling Tian squarely in the chest.

Bang!

Duan Ling Tian felt as though a gigantic hammer had landed on his chest. The pressure on his chest felt as though it was squeezing his internal organs as well. His lifeblood roiled in his body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. He was still feeling light-headed when a gentle energy appeared from behind him, stabilizing him. However, in just a moment, his lifeblood began to roil again. He spat out another mouthful of blood, staining the ground red. All this happened in just a blink of an eye, but he felt as though he had gone through the gates of hell. Fear was brimming in his eyes when he looked at the white-clad man. “W-Who are you?!”

Through his careful observation, Duan Ling Tian noticed that Long Fei Yun who was on the other side of the Formation seemed to be unaware that he was injured and had spat out blood. Although Long Fei Yun was looking at him, it seemed like he could not see what was happening to him at all. Otherwise, Long Fei Yun would not have been able to remain calm. Based on this, he realized the Formation the white-clad man conjured up was not as simple as a soundproof Formation. He panicked when he recalled how the white-clad man was able to injure and toy with him with just his energy alone.

The white-clad man said indifferently in response to Duan Ling Tian’s question, “It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is if you still want the Concealment Pendant I possess.”

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to the white-clad man’s question. Instead, he solemnly asked, “With your strength, we can’t stop you even if you snatch the Divine Crystal from us. There’s no need for you to give us the Concealment Pendant in exchange, right?”

Although Duan Ling Tian did not know how strong the white-clad young man was, he was certain the white-clad young man was stronger than Huan’er. Most importantly, the white-clad man was even stronger than the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Someone so strong could easily take the Divine Crystal away from them, there was no need for him to give them the Concealment Pendant.

“I’m not really interested in that girl’s Divine Crystal.” The white-clad man shrugged.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by the white-clad man’s reply. “Then, you…”

The white-clad man interrupted Duan Ling Tian. “I only brought up that girl’s crystal because I want you to know my strength.”

Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief when he heard the white-clad man’s words. All the doubts in his heart disappeared as well. Fortunately, the white-clad man was not really interested in the Divine Crystal. With his strength, the white-clad man could have easily taken it from Huan’er if he so pleased. However, he was confused. The white-clad man was truly mysterious. ‘Who’s he? He’s not even interested in something that only appears once in thousands of years…’

“Senior, then, you…” Duan Ling Tian began to say. He wanted to ask what the white-clad man wanted in exchange for the Concealment Pendant.

However, the white-clad man interrupted Duan Ling Tian again. “You can call me Brother Pei just like Fei Yun.”

“Yes, Brother Pei,” Duan Ling Tian hurriedly responded. Then, he bluntly asked, “Brother Pei, the thirteenth prince said that you’re willing to part with the Concealment Pendant as long as I agree to your conditions. What is it?”

“I want you to go somewhere and retrieve something for me,” the white-clad man replied.

“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. “Brother Pei, with your strength, wouldn’t it be easier if you personally retrieve it?”

The white-clad man replied, “That place is slightly unique. Those who’re older than 100 years old can’t enter that place.”

“Those older than 100 years old can’t enter?” Duan Ling Tian was startled.

“Yes.” The white-clad man nodded. “That place is related to the Martial Competition of the Wasteland that’s organized by the Three Major Celestial Sect of the Wasteland. It’s also the reason why the three Celestial Sects are looking for a strong powerhouse younger than 100 years old. Similarly, they plan to send the extraordinary participants of the competition into that place to retrieve the treasures in there. I have something I want in there as well.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened. No wonder Long Fei Yun said there was something fishy about the upcoming Martial Competition of the Wasteland. After all, there was no age restriction during the previous competitions. So this was the three Celestial Sect’s ulterior motive.

“Brother Pei, if that’s the case, you can wait until the people sent by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland to exit and snatch the item you want from them, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

This white-clad man was not even interested in the Divine Crystal. Moreover, he had said that nobody in the Wasteland was capable of killing him. This meant the white-clad man was far stronger than the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Although he did not know the extent of the white-clad man’s strength, he was certain it would be easy for the white-clad man to snatch things from the three Celestial Sects.

“Naturally, it’s simple for me to snatch things from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland,” the white-clad man replied. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, “However, who’s to say the people they send him would come out alive from that place?”

“Is that place so dangerous?!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave upon hearing this.

“It’s not just dangerous,” the white-clad man looked at Duan Ling Tian knowingly as he said, “Your strength is comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial… Even with your strength, you’ll likely end up dead in there!”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically. He knew there was no need for the white-clad man to lie to him. He was perplexed. If the white-clad man thought he would die when he entered the place, why would the white-clad man even bother to strike a deal with him? “Brother Pei, then why did you…”

“If you go in alone, naturally, you’ll die,” the white-clad man replied tonelessly, “However, it would be different if that girl enters you with you. With her strength, she’s capable of dealing with the danger in that place and keeping you safe. Moreover, even if that place is safe for everyone to enter, no one will be able to retrieve the entrance without my guidance.”

“Huan’er?” Duan Ling Tian frowned. “Brother Pei, the reason why I want the Concealment Pendant is to hide the fact that Huan’er is a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who’s younger than 100 years old. After all, many people in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom already know she’s strong. Once they confirmed she’s a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial under the age of 100, she’ll be in trouble.”

The white-clad man replied, “If she follows you in there, I can guarantee that no one will find out… I will give her two Invisibility Talismans at that time.”

“Invisibility Talisman?” Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows. “As far as I know, the Invisibility Talisman is a Celestial Talisman inscribed by Celestial Dukes… Anyone stronger than Celestial Dukes would be able to see through the talisman. Although Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials can’t see through its power, at a close distance, they could still sense the user.”
