"Jing Xu Zi!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian also shifted his gaze to Jing Xu Zi. Please search () for the most complete! Yes.
He had long heard about this genius Dao Cultivator in the Rising Sky Mansion's district. He knew his strength was on par with the Flowery Monk. Moreover, both of them were stronger than Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
Of course, saying that they were stronger than Xu Jing only meant that they used to be stronger than Xu Jing.
Tomorrow would be the day the Rising Sky Ranking Battle would officially begin. Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, must have been fully prepared for this day as well.
In fact, even the Rising Sky Mansion must have spared no effort in nurturing him and had invested a lot of cultivation resources in him.
Due to this reason, even Duan Lingtian was not certain the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi would be able to defeat Xu Jing.
Of course, although he was not certain, he still subconsciously felt that the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were stronger than Xu Jing.
"Zhong Gu is here as well!"
Another exclamation resonated in the air, attracting the attention of many people, including Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian looked over and saw an ordinary-looking young man dressed in plain clothes flying over from afar. He carried a broad saber on his back. The broad saber did not have a scabbard and was only wrapped in layers of plain cloth. It made him seem low-key.
However, although this plain-clothed young man kept a low profile, his appearance in the Nimble Valley still caught many people's attention.
This was because he was Zhong Gu!
If the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were the most outstanding among those in the prime of their lives who were below the age of fifty in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, then, apart from Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, he would be ranked below them.
When Zhong Gu was at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, he had defeated Xu Jing who was also at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage.
However, after Xu Jing had broken through to the Early Refined Saint Stage, he was no longer a match for him.
However, Zhong Gu had also broken through to the Early Refined Saint Stage. If Xu Jing was still at the Early Refined Saint Stage, he might not be a match for Zhong Gu.
Naturally, the possibility of Xu Jing being at the Early Refined Saint Stage was very low.
After all, he was the Young Mansion Master of a fourth-rate force, the Rising Sky Mansion.
The appearance of the Flowery Monk, Jing Xu Zi, and Zhong Gu attracted the attention of most of the people in the Nimble Valley.
Duan Lingtian, who was floating in the air not far from the Flowery Monk, did not attract much attention because he looked unfamiliar. Only the Flowery Monk seemed to be interested in him at first.
However, after probing for a while, the Flowery Monk couldn't find anything different about Duan Lingtian, which made him a little puzzled. In the end, after bidding farewell to Duan Lingtian, he left and returned to the corner of the Nimble Valley where the Brahma Temple's people were.
As for the people from the Pure Yang Shrine, including Jing Xu Zi, they had also settled down in the Nimble Valley.
As a Rogue Cultivator, Zhong Gu did not have such a grand display of extravagance. He found a place by himself and quietly rested. From beginning to end, he did not speak to anyone, appearing incomparably cold.
As time passed, the last person from the fifth-rate force arrived in the afternoon.
Naturally, someone from this fifth-rate force had already taken the lead and occupied a corner of the Nimble Valley as their resting place. For this reason, after these people arrived, they stayed there.
Although this fifth-rate force did not have outstanding genius disciples like the Flowery Monk from the Brahma Temple and Jing Xu Zi from the Pure Yang Shrine, they did not lack disciples with extraordinary innate talent. This time, many of them came to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle tomorrow.
Naturally, they did not dare to think about being in the top three of the Rising Sky Ranking.
Moreover, they did not even dare to think about being in the fourth place of the Rising Sky Ranking.
In the opinion of most people in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, if there were no accidents, the top ten of the Rising Sky Ranking this time would definitely be the Flowery Monk, Chong Xu Zi, Xu Jing, and Zhong Gu.
Naturally, although it was said that there would be no accidents, how could there be so many accidents?
Due to this reason, many people were almost certain that the top four of the Rising Sky Ranking this time would undoubtedly be the four of them.
This fifth-rate force's goal for their disciples was to be in the top ten of the Rising Sky Ranking.
Soon after, evening arrived. The sky above the Nimble Valley seemed to have been dyed red. It was completely blood-red.
"The people from the Rising Sky Mansion haven't arrived yet?"
Many people were looking around, but they did not see the people from the Rising Sky Mansion.
Naturally, there were people from the Rising Sky Mansion in the Nimble Valley, but they were sent by the Rising Sky Mansion to lead the way. The person leading them was only the Ninth Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion.
"What's going on with the Rising Sky Mansion? Don't tell me they're only coming tomorrow? "
"Impossible … According to the rules of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in the past, it always starts when the sun rises. This time should be no exception. Due to this reason, it's impossible for the people from the Rising Sky Mansion to come tomorrow. They won't be able to make it in time."
"It's not just the Rising Sky Mansion … There are also people from two other fourth-rate forces who haven't arrived yet."
"The powerhouses from the two fourth-rate forces follow the rules of their respective forces and come to our Rising Sky Mansion's district every fifty years to maintain the fairness of the Rising Sky Ranking in our Rising Sky Mansion!"
"Usually, they'll come with the people from the Rising Sky Mansion."
…
The Nimble Valley was bustling with discussions.
"The other two fourth-rate forces …"
Even Duan Lingtian only found out recently that the people from the other two fourth-rate forces would come to the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
The people from the fourth-rate forces were all powerhouses from their respective forces.
These powerhouses came to the Rising Sky Ranking Battle not because of the Rising Sky Mansion's invitation, but because they were following the rules of their respective forces. A long time ago, when the Rising Sky Ranking was first created, in order to ensure fairness, the person who presided over the Rising Sky Ranking Battle was not the Rising Sky Mansion. Instead, it was the powerhouses from the other two fourth-rate forces.
The two fourth-rate forces were so powerful that they were not inferior to the Rising Sky Mansion.
Due to this reason, the powerhouses from their respective forces were not afraid of the Rising Sky Mansion. Due to this reason, they did not have to worry about the people from the Rising Sky Mansion suppressing them or cheating.
Due to this reason, the Rising Sky Ranking Battle could be said to be very fair.
After learning about this, Duan Lingtian sighed in relief. "In this case, even if I kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing, during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, the powerhouse from the Rising Sky Mansion won't dare to make a move on me in front of the powerhouses from the other two fourth-rate forces."
There was only one purpose for him to appear here today, and that was to kill Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, and save Xue Nai from this calamity!
As for the ranking in the Rising Sky Ranking, he did not care at all.
Put aside the fact that he was not from the Rising Sky Mansion's district and did not need such an honor, even if he was, he was not interested in the Rising Sky Ranking at all.
It was just an empty title.
He had experienced too much along the way, and he had long become indifferent to this matter.
"They're here! They're here! "
It was only when a cry resonated in the air that Duan Lingtian regained his senses. At the same time, he looked in the direction where most of the people in the Nimble Valley were looking.
In the distant sky, a group of people was making their way over in a mighty manner.
When these people got closer, they could faintly see that they were divided into three groups. The three groups of people were walking side by side without any order.
"It's the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Cen!"
It was unknown who had a sharp eye as he looked at the group of people walking in the middle. To be more precise, he was looking at the person who was leading the group of people.
It was an old man with a face full of curly beard. The old man had snow-white hair, snow-white eyebrows, and even the curly beard on his face was snow-white. From afar, he looked like a white lion, imperceptibly giving off a certain pressure.
He was none other than the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Cen.
In the Rising Sky Mansion, even if Xu Cen's strength could not be ranked in the top three, it would not be a problem for him to be ranked in the top five.
Due to this reason, his arrival had shocked many people.
Xu Cen's position in the Rising Sky Mansion was only second to the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, the two Vice Mansion Masters, and the elusive Supreme Elder.
"I can't believe Elder Xu Cen personally came … It seems like the Rising Sky Mansion values the Rising Sky Ranking Battle very much."
"Don't you think that's nonsense? The Rising Sky Ranking is the most authoritative ranking in our Rising Sky Mansion's district. As the most powerful force in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, isn't it normal for the Rising Sky Mansion to value it? "
"Huh? Why don't I see the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion? "
"That's right. Where's Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion? "
…
As the discussion spread, everyone noticed that one of the main characters of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle this time, Xu Jing, did not come with the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion and the others.
"Don't tell me Xu Jing isn't coming?"
"That's impossible! No matter what, Xu Jing is the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. Moreover, his innate talent is not bad as well. How could he possibly miss the Rising Sky Ranking Battle this time? "
"That's right. The Rising Sky Ranking Battle is held once every 50 years, and there's an age limit. In other words, a person only has one chance to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in their lifetime, so how could he not come? "
"Even if he doesn't want fame, he must want to become the next Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, right? As far as I know, in the Rising Sky Mansion, those who don't enter the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in their lifetime are destined to never become the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. This is the rule of the Rising Sky Mansion. It's also an ironclad rule that has been like this since ancient times. "
"I've heard of this before. However, the Young Mansion Master, Xu Jing, has yet to appear even though the Rising Sky Mansion's main force has arrived. What's going on? "
"Perhaps he's met with some unexpected situation."
…
In the Nimble Valley, the fact that Xu Jing had yet to arrive had caused a commotion.
"Hurmph! What arrogance! "
"In terms of strength, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi are much stronger than him. Why is he still not here yet? Why is he putting on airs?"
"The Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion … Tsk tsk, if he didn't have such a halo and was placed in the Brahma Temple and Pure Yang Shrine instead, I'm afraid he would've been suppressed by the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi until he couldn't even lift his head."
…
The Nimble Valley was getting more and more lively. Many people even began to mock Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
