189: Tianji Order, Tianji Pavilion, location exposed
Within just two days, the Book Boy's efficiency led him to find eight Prodigies.
Besides Crown Prince Zhao Tiejiang from the Divine Sword Dynasty on Tianfang Continent, there were seven other powerful Prodigies from various Top-Tier Dao Lineages or Supreme Powers.
"Book Boy, you've gathered us eight Prodigies, so how will the Heavenly Mandate be divided once Qin Ding is forced out?" The speaker was Han Quan, from Extreme Ice Continent's Bingquan Mountain.
Although Bingquan Mountain was only a Top-Tier Dao Lineage, Han Quan had once defeated a successor of a Supreme Power, earning him considerable renown on Extreme Ice Continent.
"Exactly, how can one Ray of Heavenly Mandate be enough for the eight of us?" Another young man, built like an iron tower, with a fierce and imposing presence, echoed.
This person was Gold Fiend, a Prodigy from a Top-Tier Dao Lineage on Tianfang Continent, and equally powerful.
"That has nothing to do with me," the Book Boy said indifferently, then continued, "My only demand is Qin Ding's death. How that Ray of Heavenly Mandate is divided is your concern."
"I didn't gather you here because I'm asking for your help, but because we all have something to gain."
"If Qin Ding keeps hiding, do you have a way to find him?"
"Even if you accidentally find Qin Ding, which one of you is absolutely confident in defeating him alone?"
"We are gathered here because we all have something to gain. You want the First Ray of Heavenly Mandate, but first, Qin Ding needs to appear. I want him dead, so I'm responsible for making him appear. We all have our own needs."
No one objected to the Book Boy's words; their gathering wasn't due to the Book Boy's great Face, but purely for mutual benefit.
As long as the Book Boy could draw out Qin Ding, other matters were indeed irrelevant.
"What method do you have to draw him out?" a Prodigy asked at this moment.
"It's simple," the Book Boy said, producing a bronze plaque.
Complex and profound inscriptions were carved into the plaque.
"Heavenly Mechanism Token," Gold Fiend from Tianfang Continent recognized the token.
"That's right. With this token, I can ask someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to calculate Qin Ding's location," the Book Boy said confidently.
Upon hearing the Book Boy's words, Gold Fiend exclaimed in disbelief, "A Heavenly Mechanism Token can get the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to help with one pre-calculation, and you're using it on Qin Ding?"
It was no wonder Gold Fiend was so flustered.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was a Supreme Power on Tianfang Continent, unique among other Supreme Powers for its expertise in divination and profound mysteries.
The Heavenly Mechanism Token was a token issued by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, allowing its holder to request one unconditional divination from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Such tokens were extremely rare; in the outside world, even a Saint would fight fiercely for one. The Book Boy using it merely to divine Qin Ding's location was too extravagant.
The Book Boy didn't reply, but sneered inwardly.
These people simply didn't understand how terrifying Qin Ding was. He had a premonition that if Qin Ding didn't die, he would definitely become one of Emperor Hao Heavenly Lord's greatest enemies in the future.
None of these Prodigies present could threaten his Heavenly Lord; only Qin Ding had that qualification.
Therefore, to eliminate Qin Ding, even expending a Heavenly Mechanism Token was worth it.
The Book Boy took the Heavenly Mechanism Token and found the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's successor who had entered this place.
When he showed the Heavenly Mechanism Token, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's successor could only help him with the divination.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's successor was seen waving copper coins and tortoise shells, muttering incantations.
After a while, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's successor shook his head, "No, Qin Ding's location is shielded. I can't calculate it with my strength."
This was normal; after all, that place was once Luan Kong Emperor's cultivation retreat. It would be truly laughable if a Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion successor who hadn't fully matured could calculate it.
"Can't calculate it," the Book Boy's expression wasn't very good.
He stood there, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then calculate the location of other members of the Qin Family in the Sleeping Land."
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's successor successfully calculated this and then provided the Book Boy with detailed coordinates.
"Qin Ding couldn't be calculated, but the location of other Prodigies of the Qin Family has been. We can choose to capture them to force Qin Ding to appear."
The Book Boy's eyes also showed a ruthless glint.
Since Qin Ding couldn't be found, they would use others to force him out.
"What if Qin Ding doesn't care about them?" someone raised an objection.
"He won't. If Qin Ding disregards the safety of his clansmen, and this news spreads, how will he establish himself in the Qin Family later? Who would dare to follow someone who can abandon even their own followers? If he doesn't come, this will likely become his greatest Heart Demon in the future."
The Book Boy's move was indeed vicious. Although the others felt uncomfortable, they didn't object.
Because this seemed like the only way now.
Qin Jianxin, Liǔ Quán, and others were still hiding in the mountains, concealing their Qi. They hadn't left the mountain range these past few days.
"Soon, the Saint will probably be able to fully refine the First Ray of Heavenly Mandate," Qin Duanshan said, feeling a bit bored, as he sat.
"That's right. At that time, we'll secretly meet up with the Young Master, then slip out of this area, and then we'll be safe."
Qin Jianxin thought the same.
As long as they left this area and returned to the Qin Family, they wouldn't have to worry.
As they spoke, Liǔ Quán vaguely felt something was amiss.
But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong; it was just an intuition.
Just then, a streak of light flashed in the distance, and a graceful figure appeared not far from them.
After the light dissipated, Liǔ Quán recognized the newcomer: it was Tang Yingyun from the Immortal Dynasty.
"Run quickly! Emperor Hao Heavenly Lord's Book Boy specifically divined your location, and they are now rushing here to capture you and force Qin Ding out!"
Upon learning this news, Tang Yingyun immediately rushed over without stopping.
"What?!" Hearing this news, everyone couldn't sit still and immediately stood up.
Liǔ Quán also shouted sternly, "Hurry and go! We can't stay in this place!"
Liǔ Quán had no doubt about the truthfulness of Tang Yingyun's words.
Since the other party could find them, it meant there was no need to force them to appear or expose themselves by fleeing elsewhere.
Qin Jianxin looked up at this moment, her Face pale, and even her voice became bitter as she said, "It's probably a little too late now..."
Liǔ Quán, Qin Duanshan, Qin Leidu, and Tiger Town Mountain all looked up at the sky, seeing intense spiritual Qi fluctuations wantonly spreading.
Divine Thought Qis locked onto them, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Tang Yingyun, it seems you really consider Qin Ding a strong supporter. You even came all this way just to reveal information."
A mountain peak trembled violently, and on it stood a purple-robed young man with his hands behind his back. He looked down at everyone below, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"It seems we found the right people this time."
