Nobody would have ever thought the moment Li Feng left, Ren Zhong would immediately announce him to be first in the Rising Sky Ranking. However, everyone agreed with his words.
Let alone the fact that Li Feng had killed Xu Jing who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, just his cultivation base alone that was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage was already enough to allow him to sail through the battle!
No participants in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle would even think of fighting Li Feng at all.
Due to this reason, even if Li Feng did not leave, the battle between Li Feng and the other Ring Masters would have just been a formality since they would admit defeat anyway. They would not have dared to fight with him. After all, up until now, those who had fought Li Feng had all been killed by him.
Three Rising Sky Mansions disciples had all died in Li Fengs hand one after another.
Although they were not certain if Li Feng would only kill people from the Rising Sky Mansion and not the others, they were not going to take the risk. If they were wrong, what awaited them would only be death.
A person only had one life. Once a person died, everything was over.
Due to Duan Ling Tians departure and Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang obstructing him, Xu Cen who could not chase after Duan Ling Tian immediately said mockingly, Vice Mansion Master Ren, isnt this a little too presumptuous?
Although he also felt Li Feng would definitely rank first if he did not leave, his heart felt unwilling when he recalled how easily Li Feng had left and even obtained the honor of being ranked first in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
Presumptuous? Before Ren Zhong replied, Liu Hong Guang smirked as he said, Elder Xu, it doesnt seem like youre qualified to say whether were being presumptuous or not, right?
Xu Cens expression turned grave as someone stepped out and challenged the Rising Sky Mansions disciple who had taken Xu Jings place earlier, replacing him as Ring Master.
All of the nine Ring Masters present, is there anyone who objects to Li Feng being ranked first in the Rising Sky Ranking? If you object to this, youre free to come to our Sky Hurdle Mansion another day and fight Li Feng! Ren Zhong announced with surety as he looked at the nine Ring Masters.
When Liu Hong Guang heard Ren Zhongs words, he frowned, feeling slightly uncomfortable in his heart.
What did he mean by going to their Sky Hurdle Mansion to battle with Li Feng?
Could it be that he thought Li Feng had already agreed to join their Sky Hurdle Mansion?
Not wanting to be outdone, Liu Hong Guang immediately chimed in, Exactly! If theres any of you who are dissatisfied with the results, you can come to our Raging Wave Mansion in the future to fight Li Feng. If you win, the first place of the Rising Sky Ranking will go to you.
Upon hearing Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guangs words, the nine Ring Masters looked at each other. None of them dared to utter a word.
What a joke!
Li Fengs strength was obvious. Fighting him was just seeking for ones death.
Soon after, the Wine-Meat Monk was the first to say, I dont have any objection.
Wine-Meat Monks expression had remained grave ever since the Flowery Monk had died. He was his junior brother after all. He did not have any biological brother, therefore, he had long regarded the Flowery Monk as his own blood brother. It was only natural he was furious when his blood brother was killed.
Since Li Feng had killed Xu Jing, it could be said that he had inadvertently avenged the Flowery Monk. Due to this reason, he felt a sense of gratitude toward Li Feng and did not wish to be a hindrance to him at this moment.
When the Wine-Meat Monk spoke up, Yu Xu Zi and Yin Xu Zi from the Pure Yang Shrine also followed in his footsteps and expressed their opinion.
Following that, a few sectless cultivators also said they did not have objections.
Looking at how everyone had said they did not object to this, the remaining few Ring Masters acquiesced as well, agreeing that Li Feng should be ranked first in the Rising Sky Ranking.
In that case, the first place of the Rising Sky Ranking has already been determined to be Li Feng! As for the second place to the tenth place, the battle will start tomorrow... For now, lets stop for the day. When Ren Zhongs words left his mouth, he collaborated with Liu Hong Guang to retrieve the Nimble Chess Set.
Everyone immediately returned to the Nimble Valley.
After 15 minutes, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang no longer stopped Xu Cen and the others from the Rising Sky Mansion from leaving.
However, before Xu Cen left, he could not help but transmit a message to Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang separately.
The content of the message stated that only one of them would be able to successfully recruit Duan Ling Tian. He would be willing to reward whoever who would tell him about Duan Ling Tians whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang did not even bother with him.
Reward?
Would they lack any of the things Xu Cen had? Moreover, what could compare to such a talented genius like Li Feng?
Xu Cens face turned green before it turned pale when he saw Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang ignoring him. In the end, he could only clench his teeth and bring the people from Rising Sky Mansion away with him furiously.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian had already reached the mountain range 100 meters to the west of Nimble Valley.
When all was quiet in the dead of the night, Duan Ling Tian who was resting on an ancient pine tree in the mountain range heard a voice in the distance. Did you hear? The Mystical Sky Mansion is recruiting Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty in the Dao Martial Saint Land in a years time... Its said that the Mystical Sky Mansions Saint Martial Secret Zone would also open in a years time.
As he narrowed his eyes, he could see two men flying side by side in the dark sky.
Yes! I only heard about it today. Only a quasi third-rate force has a Saint Martial Secret Zone, and it only allows Saint Stage geniuses below 40 years old to enter it. Once you enter, lets not talk about a huge fortuitous encounter, your strength will rise even if your fortuitous encounter is small, the other voice said, gradually fading away.
Soon after, the voices faded as the two figures traveled further and further away.
A quasi third-rate force called the Mystical Sky Mansion? Theyre recruiting Saint Stage geniuses below 40 years old? The Saint Martial Secret Zone? In the dark night, Duan Ling Tians eyes lit up like two brilliant stars in the dark night.
Originally, he had planned on choosing either the Sky Hurdle Mansion or Raging Wave Mansion based on the conditions that Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang would present him after the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had ended.
His objective was to use a fourth-rate force as a springboard to soar to the top. After he had broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage, he planned to go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to search for his fiancee, Keer. Moreover, he could use the help from a fourth-rate force to inquire about this father.
However, when he heard a quasi third-rate force called the Mystical Sky Mansion was going to recruit disciples who were Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty, another thought rose up in his mind.
Compared to a fourth-rate force, a quasi third-rate force would undoubtedly be a better springboard.
Moreover, he was also curious about the Saint Martial Secret Zone or something that only a quasi third-rate force possessed since it was his first time hearing about it.
In that case, I have no choice but to stand Vice Mansion Master Ren and Elder Liu up... Its a good thing I didnt use my real identity. Li Feng is merely a name I made up so I dont have to worry about them pursuing and killing me out of rage and humiliation. When Duan Ling Tian thought about this, he proceeded to leave the mountain range in the dark of the night.
At this moment, whether it was Ren Zhong or Liu Hong Guang, none of them knew Li Feng had already stood them up and left in advance.
At this moment, they were still eagerly waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
They were excited just by imagining Li Feng joining their sects after the end of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle tomorrow.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of this. However, even if he was aware of it, he would still leave as well.
Whether it was Ren Zhong or Liu Hong Guang, he knew why they treated him so well. It was all because of his high innate talent. Otherwise, they would not have bothered with him at all.
Now that he had found a better option, naturally, he did not have to limit himself to the Sky Hurdle Mansion or the Raging Wave Mansion.
Although it was Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guangs job to protect him during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, he still felt indebted to them. Vice Mansion Master Ren, Elder Liu, Ill return your favor eventually in the future if theres a chance!
Duan Ling Tian did not like to owe anyone favors after all.
After leaving the mountain range, he returned to the Greenwave Han Mansions district and the Greenwave Han Mansion.
With his current strength, unless it was a Greenwave Han Mansions powerhouse at the Eminent Saint Stage or above, nobody could detect him if he deliberately concealed himself.
Although he was a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage, his strength was actually equivalent to a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!
Naturally, it was not a problem even if he did not conceal his presence. After all, not only did he know Han Xue Nai, the Eldest Miss of Greenwave Han Mansion, but he also knew Han Zheng Tian, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion.
He originally wanted to look for Xue Nai to surprise her. However, he changed his mind and looked for Han Zheng Tian first. He was sure his Uncle Han was anxious about this matter as well.
Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian decided to reveal his presence. Sure enough, his presence was soon detected by the others.
He had switched his disguise to the aloof Ling Tian from the previous time he was here. Some of the Greenwave Han Mansions disciples who were patrolling recognized him so they did not make things difficult for him.
Duan Ling Tian was able to meet Han Zheng Tian, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, without any obstacle.
Little Tian, youre back? How did it go? Han Zheng Tian asked, unable to hold himself back when he saw Duan Ling Tian had returned.
Counting the time, the Rising Sky Ranking Battle should have ended by now. Since Duan Ling Tian had returned, it was obvious he just came back from the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
Its a success! If it was Han Xue Nai, Duan Ling Tian might tease her a little, but it was not appropriate for him to joke in front of Han Zheng Tian.
Han Zheng Tian was elated. However, he still asked for confirmation, That friend of yours really killed Xu Jing?
When Duan Ling Tian had left previously, he had said he would ask a friend from a quasi third-rate force to kill Xu Jing, the Young Master of Rising Sky Mansion, during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. Due to this reason, Han Zheng Tian had no idea it was Duan Ling Tian who had personally made a move.
Yes. Duan Ling Tian nodded. Although he had succeeded, he did not feel the need to explain too much.
Thank you, Little Tian! Han Zheng Tian, naturally, did not doubt Duan Ling Tians words. After taking a deep breath, he actually bowed to express his gratitude to Duan Ling Tian. It surprised Duan Ling Tian that he quickly got out of the way. Uncle Han, you cant do that! I treat Xue Nai as my biological sister so her problem is my problem as well... Youre her father and also my senior, theres no need for you to be so courteous.
Upon hearing that, Han Zheng Tian smiled, Meanwhile, he heaved a sigh of relief. The stone that was pressing on his heart had finally disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian bade him farewell and went to look for Han Xue Nai.
He was bored during the journey so he took out Xu Jings Spatial Ring with just a thought.
When he dripped his blood on it to claim blood ownership, he realized he could not do so.
Naturally, he knew what this meant.
Xu Jing is still alive? Horror dawned on Duan Ling Tian immediately.
