'Don't tell me they haven't noticed that the Young Mansion Master's Soul Pearl has shattered as well?'
Xu Cen thought to himself as the high-ranking officials of Rising Sky Mansion comforted him.
However, he did not think it was possible.
At this moment, this was the only thing he could think of. Otherwise, he would not be able to figure out why these people were only comforting him.
It was obvious the high-ranking officials of Rising Sky Mansion, including the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, did not know about the death of Young Mansion Master Xu Jing.
"Lord Mansion Master, Xu Can was not as strong as others. He sacrificed himself for the Rising Sky Mansion. I've already gotten over it. However, the Young Mansion Master … "
Xu Cen looked at the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. Initially, when he mentioned his grandson, he suppressed his grief. However, in the end, he could not help but smile wryly as he turned to look behind him.
"What happened to Jing 'er?"
Xu Can's words caused Xu Yi Cheng, the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, to turn pale immediately. He immediately looked in the direction Xu Cen was looking at.
With just a glance, he saw the body the hunchbacked young man was carrying.
Whoosh!
As though a gust of wind had blown past, the hunchbacked young man took a step back. The body on his shoulder had already fallen into Xu Yi Cheng's arms.
"Young Mansion Master!"
When the high-ranking officials of Rising Sky Mansion who followed Xu Yi Cheng saw the dried blood on the body with a bloody hole between his brows, horror dawned on them.
With such injuries, it was impossible for him to survive.
"Impossible!"
At this moment, Xu Yi Cheng looked at his son in his arms in disbelief. At the same time, he freed his hand and took out a Soul Pearl.
The Soul Pearl belonged to his son, Xu Jing.
The Soul Pearl was not damaged at all. This meant his son was not dead.
When Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, saw Xu Yi Cheng taking out a Soul Pearl with an expression of disbelief on his face, he could not help but feel chills running down his spine. "Lord Mansion Master, the Soul Pearl in your hand is …"
"This is Jing 'er's Soul Pearl! He's not dead! "
Xu Yi Cheng's tone was firm. A Soul Pearl would not lie.
"What?!"
"He's not dead?"
"The space between his brows is pierced, and his soul is destroyed … The Young Mansion Master is still alive after suffering such heavy injuries? That's impossible! "
…
At this moment, Xu Cen was not the only one who was stunned. The group of Rising Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials and the group of Rising Sky Mansion's disciples behind Xu Cen were stunned as well.
This was especially true for the Rising Sky Mansion's disciples who had returned with Xu Cen. They had personally witnessed Xu Jing being killed. A sword pierced through the space between his brows, causing his soul to dissipate. Even a Great Overarching Golden Celestial would not be able to save him.
And now, the Mansion Master was saying that the Young Mansion Master was still alive?
"Could it be that Lord Mansion Master has lost his mind after seeing the Vice Mansion Master dead?"
Many of the Rising Sky Mansion's disciples thought to themselves.
Of course, they only dared to think such words in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
Of course, most people's eyes were still on the Soul Orb in Xu Yi Cheng's hand. Their hearts were filled with confusion. "Is this really the Young Mansion Master's Soul Orb? Vice Mansion Master is clearly dead, so how could his Soul Orb be intact? Did Lord Mansion Master take the wrong Soul Orb? "
At this moment, they only thought that the Mansion Master had mistaken someone else's Soul Orb for the Young Mansion Master's.
The Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Yi Cheng, was a tall and well-built middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.
At this moment, he extended his Divine Consciousness and entered his son's body. Soon after, he sensed a faint aura in the depths of his son's head.
It was the aura of a soul. It was very weak, but it was extremely familiar to him.
This was because the aura of this soul was exactly the same as the aura of the soul in the Soul Orb in his hand.
"Jing 'er!"
Although Xu Yi Cheng did not know why his son was still alive after suffering such a heavy injury, this was not what he was concerned about. He was more concerned about whether his son would be able to recover.
Such a weak soul aura, if he was not careful, it was very likely that it would dissipate completely.
"Father … I need … a quiet room … Three years at most … I … I'll definitely be able to recover …"
As Xu Yicheng's consciousness wrapped around that wisp of spiritual aura, a voice was transmitted through his consciousness.
After the voice sounded, the soul that was already weak seemed to have weakened even more.
"Good! Good! "
When Xu Yi Cheng heard his son's voice and found out his son was still alive and had a chance to recover, he immediately threw everything else to the back of his mind. He immediately carried Xu Yi Cheng back to the mansion he usually stayed in and placed him in a quiet room in the basement.
Everyone, including Xu Cen, was stunned when they saw the Mansion Master suddenly leaving with the Young Mansion Master's body.
However, they soon saw Xu Yi Cheng had returned.
They noticed the Lord Mansion Master's expression was extremely gloomy at this moment.
However, they were not surprised by this at all.
After all, nobody would be in a good mood when their only son was dead.
"Grand Elder, what happened during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle? Why is my son injured to such an extent? Moreover, why did your grandson, Xu Can, and two other people die? "
Xu Yi Cheng asked in a deep voice as soon as he returned to the mansion.
"Injured?"
Upon hearing Xu Yi Cheng's words, not only Xu Cen, but everyone present on the scene was stunned as well.
Lord Mansion Master said the Young Mansion Master was injured?
Was the Young Mansion Master not dead?
"Lord Mansion Master, the Young Mansion Master …"
At this moment, one of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Rising Sky Mansion could no longer hold it in. He looked at Xu Yi Cheng and asked, "He's only injured?"
"He's severely injured! He'll need at least three years to fully recover, "Xu Yi Cheng said coldly.
Based on his tone, it was obvious he was in a bad mood.
It made sense. How could a father be in a good mood when his only son was injured to such an extent?
However, Xu Yi Cheng's gaze did not leave Xu Cen from the beginning until the end. He really could not figure out what had happened during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle that caused three of the most outstanding people among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion to die and one to be injured.
"He's only injured?"
Upon hearing Xu Yi Cheng's words, whether it was Xu Cen or the others, they looked as though they had just seen a ghost. An expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.
In fact, they had seen Xu Jing's body before.
His head was pierced from the center of his brows. Logically speaking, his soul should have dissipated as well. It was impossible for him to be alive.
However, the Lord Mansion Master actually said he was only injured and would recover in three years?
"Lord Mansion Master, y-you're telling the truth?"
Xu Cen asked in disbelief.
At the same time, the others also looked at Xu Yi Cheng, the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. They were also curious about this since they thought it was impossible. However, since the Lord Mansion Master had said so, there must be a reason.
"I don't know what happened to Jing 'er either. Although he was injured and his soul was severely damaged, his soul didn't disperse or vanish … Not only that, he even used his weak soul to contact me. He said that he would recover in three years at most. Due to this reason, I really want to know what happened during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle and what happened to Jing 'er. "
When Xu Yi Cheng reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Xu Cen again.
"He's really not dead!"
However, at this moment, Xu Cen and the others were not paying attention to the second half of Xu Yi Cheng's sentence.
This was because they were completely shocked by the first half of Xu Yi Cheng's sentence.
His soul did not dissipate even though he was severely injured?
What kind of monster was the Young Mansion Master?
"Could it be that the Young Mansion Master knows the Soul Congregation technique?"
At this moment, an old Vice Mansion Master said hesitantly.
"Soul Congregation?"
Everyone, including Xu Yi Cheng, the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, immediately shifted their attention to the Vice Mansion Master.
They knew this Vice Mansion Master very well.
Although his strength was not the best in the Rising Sky Mansion, he was extremely knowledgeable. He had read almost all the books that were passed down in the Rising Sky Mansion for generations.
In the Rising Sky Mansion, if he claimed to be the second most knowledgeable person, nobody would dare to claim to be the first!
"Yes, it's the Soul Congregation technique."
The old Vice Mansion Master nodded. Then, he said solemnly, "I've read about it in an ancient book that has been passed down for generations in the Rising Sky Mansion. It's said that some of the top Devil Cultivation Methods have records of the Soul Congregation technique. Even if the soul is temporarily destroyed, it'll be able to reform in a short time."
"However, the process of reforming one's soul is extremely difficult … Moreover, it would take at least three to five years for one's soul to completely recover and for one's soul to fuse with one's body again. It might even take longer than that."
When he reached this part of the sentence, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Just like that Devil Cultivator who caused our Rising Sky Mansion to fall from a quasi third-rate force to a fourth-rate force. According to the ancient book, the vicious Devil Dao Cultivation Method, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, is a Top Devil Dao Cultivation Method. It also contains the Soul Congregation technique."
Devil Cultivator!
The Devouring Dark Devil Technique!
Upon hearing the Vice Mansion Master's words, the scene fell silent immediately.
Almost everyone in the Rising Sky Mansion knew about the past of the Rising Sky Mansion.
The Devil Cultivator who cultivated the vicious Devil Dao Cultivation Method, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, was also someone everyone in the Rising Sky Mansion hated to the core. It was because of that Devil Cultivator that the Rising Sky Mansion had fallen to such a state.
"If the Young Mansion Master is a Devil Cultivator and has cultivated a top Devil Dao Cultivation Method, it's not surprising that he knows the Soul Congregation technique. However, the problem is, as far as I know, the Young Mansion Master is not a Devil Cultivator."
The old Vice Mansion Master continued to say.
The moment the old Vice Mansion Master's words left his mouth, Xu Yi Cheng and the group of people who did not go to the Rising Sky Ranking Battle nodded one after another.
However, the group of people who had just returned from the Nimble Valley, including Xu Cen, looked at each other in confusion.
This was because only they knew the Young Mansion Master was a Devil Cultivator!
Nobody noticed.
