Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was also Duan Lingtian's target.
To be more precise, the reason he came to the Rising Sky Mansion and the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in the Nimble Valley was all because of this Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. He wanted to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion to resolve the crisis of Han Xuenai whom he regarded as his biological sister.
As long as Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was dead, Han Xuenai would not have to marry into the Rising Sky Mansion anymore.
That marriage contract would also be reduced to nothing.
"Huh? Grand Elder, are all of you planning to leave? Don't tell me the Rising Sky Ranking Battle has ended? "
The moment Xu Jing appeared, he noticed Xu Cen was leaving with the group of people from Rising Sky Mansion. He instinctively thought the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had ended, and his expression changed slightly.
In fact, he did not stop at all during his journey here.
The reason he was late was because he had just broken through to the stage he had always dreamed of a few days ago.
"Not yet."
Although Xu Cen was unhappy with Xu Jing's sudden appearance, he did not dare to show it on his face.
"Not yet?"
Xu Jing's expression returned to normal when he learned the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had not ended. He asked nonchalantly, "Since the Rising Sky Ranking Battle has not ended, what are you doing, Grand Elder?"
He could see Xu Cen was about to leave with his people.
When Xu Cen was at a loss for words, one of the Rising Sky Mansion's elders had already informed Xu Jing through Voice Transmission.
Even Xu Jing's heart could not help but tremble at this moment.
Three people from the Rising Sky Mansion had died in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle?
One of them was Xu Cen's grandson, Xu Can?
Xu Jing did not care about the other two since he did not care about them at all. However, Xu Can was a disciple from the Rising Sky Mansion whose innate talent was not inferior to his. He had once pressured him as well.
Moreover, if he did not cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he was not confident he would be able to defeat Xu Can in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
However, such a person whom he thought highly of had died in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in the hands of a young man who was not even forty years old yet!
How could he not be shocked?
However, this shock was quickly overshadowed by the anger that rose in his heart.
After learning about what Xu Cen had done after Xu Can's death, Xu Jing looked at Xu Cen with a cold gaze.
Even Xu Cen didn't know why, but when Xu Jing looked over, he felt as though he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
At this moment, he also realized that Xu Jing most likely knew about what had happened earlier.
"First Elder, did you think that I wouldn't come?"
Xu Jing asked coldly as he stared at Xu Cen.
"Young Mansion Master, today's the last day to obtain a place in the Rising Sky Rankings, but you haven't shown up yet.
Because he was in the wrong, Xu Cen didn't dare to say anything.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xu Jing interrupted him. "You think I won't come? Grand Elder, I advise you to quickly apologize to Li Feng … If my qualification to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle is revoked because of you, you should know the consequences! "
As he finished speaking, Xu Jing's tone was extremely cold and contained a hint of threat.
At this point, Xu Cen also knew he had no other choice.
Even if he was unwilling to apologize to the person who killed his grandson, he still had to do so.
As the saying went, the situation was not in his favor. If he still refused, it would mean he intentionally did not want Xu Jing to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
At that time, he would become a sinner of the Rising Sky Mansion!
Earlier, he had dared to bring his men away so boldly because Xu Jing had not arrived yet.
Now that Xu Jing had arrived, put aside the fact that the other people from the Rising Sky Mansion might not be willing to leave with him, even if they were willing, he would not dare to bring them away.
After taking a deep breath, Xu Cen looked at Duan Lingtian and apologized with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Duan Lingtian remained calm in the face of Xu Cen's apology. Naturally, he knew Xu Cen had only apologized to him because he had no other choice. "If Xu Jing didn't come, he would've brought his men away. If he left first, I'm afraid Xu Can wouldn't be able to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle even if he came. At that time, I would've lost a good opportunity to kill him. "
"It's a good thing Xu Jing came in time."
The moment Duan Lingtian thought about this, he sighed in relief inwardly.
His purpose this time was to kill Xu Jing. He did not care about anything else.
When the people in the surroundings saw Xu Cen had apologized in the end, they began to boo.
"Don't tell me this Grand Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion really thinks he's the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion? To think he's so unwilling to lower his pride and allowed the Rising Sky Mansion's disciples to lose the qualification to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. "
"He must have made such a decision because he saw the people from the Rising Sky Mansion are all dead and Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, did not come."
"I think so too. Now that Xu Jing is here, he apologized to Li Feng obediently. "
…
The onlookers discussed among themselves. They kept talking about Xu Cen, causing his expression to turn extremely grave.
If it was possible, he really wanted to kill all of these people who were gossiping about him.
No matter what, Xu Jing's timely appearance and Xu Cen's apology had allowed the Rising Sky Ranking Battle to return to the right track.
Duan Lingtian noticed Xu Jing was looking at him from time to time.
There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes, but most of it was cold.
Although Xu Jing did not care about Xu Can's death, under such circumstances, as the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, he had to put on a show that he could not coexist with Duan Lingtian, the person who killed the Rising Sky Mansion's disciples.
If he could kill Duan Lingtian, his prestige in the Rising Sky Mansion would rise greatly.
Due to this reason, in his eyes, Duan Lingtian was just a stepping stone under his feet.
After Xu Jing appeared, he was not in a hurry to issue a challenge.
Soon after, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi entered the ring one after another. The opponents they chose were sensible enough to admit defeat. Both of them became the Ring Masters without shedding any blood.
After the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi became the Ring Masters one after another, most of the people present on the scene shifted their attention to Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
"Now, it's time for the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion to enter the ring, right?"
"He's quite arrogant to actually wait for the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi to enter the ring first."
"I guess he's worried he'll be challenged by the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi if he enters the ring first. At that time, it'll be embarrassing if he loses."
"With his strength, isn't it normal for him to be defeated by the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi? Even if he avoids the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, he won't be able to avoid the battle with the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi when the Rising Sky Ranking Battle begins tomorrow. "
…
Many people whispered among themselves, saying Xu Jing was afraid of the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
When the hunchbacked young man standing behind Xu Jing heard these whispers, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
His Young Mansion Master's current strength was not something that could be compared to before.
Xu Jing, on the other hand, acted as though he did not hear the whispers around him.
"Huh?"
The mocking smile on the hunchbacked young man's face clearly entered Duan Lingtian's eyes, causing his heart to jolt. 'Even the people around Xu Jing are so confident in him? Don't tell me Xu Jing had a fortuitous encounter in this one year? '
It was no wonder Duan Lingtian thought so.
In fact, Xu Jing was merely an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator a year ago.
Even if the Rising Sky Mansion had nurtured him without holding back and provided him with all the cultivation resources, he would only be able to break through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage at most.
He had just broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage not long ago, it was impossible for him to defeat the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
Currently, even if the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi had not broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, there were not many Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators who were a match for them.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Xu Jing finally stepped forward.
His gaze instantly landed on Duan Lingtian, causing Duan Lingtian's emotions to surge. "Choose me?"
If Xu Jing chose him, it was undoubtedly something he was most willing to see.
If that was the case, perhaps, he would be able to help Xue Nai solve this problem.
"Xu Jing wants to challenge Li Feng?"
At this moment, the people present on the scene noticed Xu Jing's gaze.
"Don't tell me he thinks Li Feng is a pushover? Based on the strength Li Feng displayed earlier, he's definitely not weaker than Zhong Gu. "
Many people chimed in.
"Hurmph! Li Feng's strength was definitely not inferior to Zhong Gu's. Even the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi might not necessarily be able to survive after being enveloped by the explosion earlier. Since Li Feng has survived, this means his strength might not be weaker than the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, "another person chimed in.
Someone else chimed in.
All in all, the fact that Duan Lingtian had survived earlier had shocked everyone. At the same time, it had also given them a new understanding of his strength.
They no longer looked down on him because he was not even forty years old.
Unfortunately, under the watchful eyes of the others, Xu Jing's gaze only paused on Duan Lingtian for a moment before it shifted to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
"He wants to challenge the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi? “
At this moment, the people present on the scene were stunned.
As for Duan Lingtian, he was slightly disappointed.
"Hurmph! He looked at Li Feng earlier, but I didn't see him challenging Li Feng … Now that he's looking at the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, I don't think he'll challenge them. "
Someone snorted and said disdainfully.
"I think so too. I think he's just looking around … As for the opponents he'll pick, I don't think it's the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi."
Someone expressed his agreement.
As it turned out, they had guessed correctly. Xu Jing's gaze quickly shifted away from the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
"As expected, I guessed correctly!"
"I knew it! Xu Jing definitely won't dare to challenge the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi!"
