Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was Duan Ling Tians target this time. He had come to the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in the Rising Sky Mansion to kill him to resolve the crisis Han Xue Nai, whom he regarded as his biological sister, was facing.
Han Xue Nai would no longer need to marry the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion if he had died. The paper of agreement that consented to their marriage would also be rendered useless at that time.
Huh? Grand Elder, are all of you leaving now? Dont tell me the Rising Sky Ranking Battle has ended? Xu Jing noticed Xu Cen was about to leave with the people from the Rising Sky Mansion the moment he appeared. He instantly thought the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had ended, causing him to panic.
The fact was he did not rest at all as he rushed to make to his way here. He was late because he had made a breakthrough to the stage he had been dreaming of for a long time just a few days ago.
Although Xu Cen was unhappy with Xu Jings appearance, he did not dare to show it and could only answer truthfully, No, it hasnt ended.
It hasnt ended? When Xu Jing learned the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had not ended, colors returned to his face as he asked coldly, If the Rising Sky Ranking Battle has not ended, what are you trying to do, Grand Elder?
He could see Xu Cen was about to bring his men and leave.
Xu Cen did not know how to answer him and was mulling over how to explain the situation when an elder of Rising Sky Mansion told Xu Jing about what had transpired through Voice Transmission.
Xu Jing instantly felt his heart jolted. Three men from the Rising Sky Mansion had already died in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle? Moreover, one of them was Xu Can, Xu Cens grandson?
Xu Jing did not give much thought to the other two people, but Xu Can was a disciple of Rising Sky Mansion whose talent was not inferior to his. Moreover, he was powerful enough to pressure Xu Jing as well.
Besides, if he did not cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he was not confident he could defeat Xu Can in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
Someone whom he had regarded as a powerful rival had died in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. Moreover, he was killed by a young man who was not even forty years old.
How could he not feel baffled over this?
Although he felt baffled, it was soon overwhelmed by the rage that was rising in his heart.
When he learned about what Xu Cen had done after Xu Can died, Xu Jings gaze turned even colder when he looked at Xu Cen.
Xu Cen felt as though he was being targeted by a poisonous snake when Xu Cen looked at him. At this moment, he also realized Xu Jing must have found out about what had happened earlier.
Grand Elder, did you think Im not going to show up? Xu Jing asked coldly as he stared at Xu Cen.
Young Mansion Master, today is the last day to make it on to the Rising Sky Ranking, but you didnt appear after so long. I thought... Xu Cen did not dare to be harsh with his words since he was in the wrong.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xu Jing interrupted him. That I wont come? Grand Elder, I think its better for you to apologize to Li Feng. Otherwise, if Im disqualified from the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, you should know what consequences are waiting for you! Xu Jings voice was cold, and it contained a hint of threat.
Now that it had come to this, Xu Cen knew he had no other choice. Although he was unwilling to apologize to his grandsons murderer, he still had to do it!
As the saying went, Man cannot win against the circumstances. If he continued to refuse at this point, it would mean he was intentionally sabotaging Xu Jings chance of participating in the Rising Sky Mansion Battle. He would be considered a sinner in the Rising Sky Mansion if he had done that!
Earlier, he had dared to act arrogantly and wanted to bring the men away because Xu Jing had not arrived. Now that Xu Jing had arrived, let alone the people from the Rising Sky Mansion might not be willing to leave with him, even if they were willing, he still did not dare to bring them away.
Xu Cen took a deep breath before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and apologized with a cold look in his eyes.
Faced with Xu Cens apology, Duan Ling Tian remained calm. Naturally, he knew Xu Cen only apologized because he had no other choice.
If Xu Jing didnt come, he wouldve brought his men away... If he had left first, Xu Jing wouldnt have been able to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle even if he arrives later. I wouldve lost a good opportunity to kill him. Its a good thing Xu Jing made it in time. Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief when he thought of this.
His objective this time was to kill Xu Jing, he was not bothered about the others.
The people in the surrounding began to whisper when they saw Xu Cen apologizing.
Dont tell me this Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion really thinks hes the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion? To think he was unwilling to set his pride aside and let the disciples of Rising Sky Mansion be disqualified from the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
He must have made the decision after he had taken into consideration the three people from the Rising Sky Mansion who had died and the Young Mansion Master didnt seem like he was going to show up.
I agree. Just look. As soon as Xu Jing arrives, he apologized immediately and obediently.
The spectators whispered among themselves. Their discussion revolved only around Xu Cen, and it made his expression turn grave.
If it was possible, he really wanted to kill all these people who were gossiping!
In the end, Xu Jings timely appearance and Xu Cens apology put the Rising Sky Ranking Battle back on track.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian noticed Xu Jing would look at him from time to time. There was a hint of surprise in his gaze, but it mostly contained a terrifying coldness.
Although Xu Jing did not care about Xu Cans death, under such circumstances, as the Young Mansion Master, he still had to put on a show of being hostile to Duan Ling Tian since he killed a disciple of the Rising Sky Mansion. If he managed to kill Duan Ling Tian, his prestige in the Rising Sky Mansion would definitely rise. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was just a stepping stone to him.
After Xu Jing made his appearance, he did not rush to issue a challenge.
Soon after, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi took turns to enter the ring, and the opponents they had chosen sensibly admitted defeat. Both of them became Ring Masters victoriously without staining their swords.
After the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi became Ring Masters, most people shifted their attention to Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
It should be the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansions turn to enter the ring, right?
How arrogant! To think he actually waited for the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi to make their moves first!
I think hes worried the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi would challenge him if he became Ring Master first. At that time, itd be embarrassing for him if hes defeated.
Based on his strength, its no surprise if he loses to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, right? Even if he manages to avoid both of them now, he still wouldnt be able to avoid them tomorrow when the Rising Sky Ranking Battle officially begins.
Many people whispered among themselves. Most of them were saying Xu Jing was afraid of the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
When the hunchback young man standing behind Xu Jing heard their words, he sneered.
His Young Mansion Masters current strength was unlike before!
Xu Jing, on the other hand, seemed as though he did not hear the crowds words.
Huh? Duan Ling Tians heart jolted when he saw the young man with a hunchback sneering. Even Xu Jings lackey has so much confidence in him? Dont tell me Xu Jing has a fortuitous encounter during this one year?
It was only natural for Duan Ling Tian to think this way. After all, Xu Jing was merely an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator a year ago.
Even if the Rising Sky Mansion nurtured him without any reservation in this one year and gave him the best cultivation resources, he would only break through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage at the most.
If he had just broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage, it would be impossible for him to defeat the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
Although the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi had not broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, with their strength, not many people at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage were their opponents.
Under the watchful gaze of the others, Xu Jing finally stepped out.
His gaze instantly landed on Duan Ling Tian, causing Duan Ling Tians heart to jolt. Hes going to pick me?
It would be in line with his wish if Xu Jing picked him. He would be able to solve the problem for Xue Nai very quickly if this was the case.
Xu Jing wants to challenge Li Feng? At this moment, the crowd also noticed Xu Jings gaze.
Does he think Li Feng is weak? With the strength Li Feng displayed earlier, hes definitely on par with Zhong Gu, many people chimed in.
Hurmph! He definitely more than on par with Zhong Gu! Even the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi might not have been able to survive the explosion and shockwave earlier. And yet, Li Feng manages to survive it. This means his strength might even be on par with the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, somebody added.
The bottom line was, the fact the Duan Ling Tian had survived the explosion earlier had greatly shocked everyone. At the same time, it gave the others a deeper understanding of his strength.
Nobody looked down on him anymore just because he was not forty years old yet.
Unfortunately, under the watchful eyes of the others, Xu Jings gaze merely rested on Duan Ling Tian for a few moments before it shifted to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi again.
He wants to challenge the Flowery Monk or Jing Xu Zi? Most people were stunned.
Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, felt a little disappointed.
Hurmph! He just looked at Li Feng earlier, but he didnt challenge him. Although hes looking at the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, it doesnt mean hes going to challenge them, someone said in disdain.
I agree. I think hes just looking around. I dont think hes going to choose the Flowery Monk or Jing Xu Zi as his opponent, someone agreed.
As it turned out, they had guessed correctly. Xu Jings gaze quickly left the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi again.
Its just as Ive expected!
Look, Xu Jing must be afraid to challenge the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi!
Many people had a knowing expression on their faces. Their eyes were filled with mockery as they looked at Xu Jing.
