"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Father!"
After Wei Wei and Zhao Ji sent Zhao Deng off, they obediently stayed in Zhao Deng's residence and waited for his return.
The wait lasted for an entire afternoon.
However, both of them did not dare to complain.
Zhao Deng only returned when the sun set in the west and evening arrived.
When he returned, Zhao Deng's expression remained the same. One could not tell if he was happy or angry. However, his eyes shone strangely.
"Father, you're finally back."
Zhao Ji was excited when he saw Zhao Deng had returned. "Now, can you tell me how you want Eldest Senior Brother to help me deal with that Ling Tian?"
"Let's put aside the matter about Ling Tian for now."
However, this was the only thing Zhao Ji received in response to his father's words.
After Zhao Deng finished speaking, he no longer cared about Zhao Ji whose expression changed immediately. He immediately looked at Wei Wei and said, "Wei 'er, there's nothing else. You may leave now."
"Yes, Master."
Although Wei Wei did not know what had happened that caused his master to dismiss the idea of dealing with that Ling Tian, he still listened to his master's words. Therefore, he immediately left and returned to his residence in the Main Mansion.
When Wei Wei left, Zhao Ji opened his mouth. However, before he could speak, Zhao Deng glared at him and interrupted him.
Zhao Ji was not a fool. Naturally, he could tell that his father was worried. At this moment, he obediently kept his mouth shut. However, a hint of unwillingness and curiosity could be seen in his eyes.
When Wei Wei's silhouette finally disappeared from his sight, Zhao Ji could no longer hold it in. He immediately looked at Zhao Deng and asked anxiously, "Father, what's the matter? Why did you send Eldest Senior Brother away? Also, why did you put aside the matter about that Ling Tian for now? He humiliated me in public! Humiliating me is equivalent to humiliating you, Father. "
"Ji 'er, I know you hate that Ling Tian a lot. In fact, I also want him to disappear from this world! "
Zhao Deng shook his head and quickly asked, "Do you know why Lord Mansion Master summoned me so urgently?"
"Could it be because of that Ling Tian?"
Upon hearing Zhao Deng's words, Zhao Ji's expression changed drastically. "Could it be that Lord Mansion Master has spoken to protect that Ling Tian and forbade you from interfering?"
"That's not it."
Zhao Deng shook his head. "This time, Lord Mansion Master is in a hurry to look for me mainly because of the Rising Sky Mansion. However, that Ling Tian contributed quite a bit in this matter. If our Zhao Clan were to make things difficult for Ling Tian at this time, the Manor Lord would definitely not be happy. "
"Before I came back, I've already discussed this with your grandfather. We won't touch Duan Lingtian for the time being. We'll talk about this again after the matter with the Rising Sky Mansion is settled."
Zhao Deng continued.
"Grandpa? He knows too? "
Zhao Ji glared at him.
"I was summoned by the Lord Mansion Master today. Your grandfather and a few other Vice Mansion Masters were also summoned. Of course, Gu Ci Yun and Gu Li were also summoned."
Zhao Deng said.
"Gu Li was there as well?"
Zhao Ji frowned. "Although I don't know what the Mystical Sky Mansion is going to do to the Rising Sky Mansion, since the Lord Mansion Master has summoned the two great Guardians and a few Vice Mansion Masters of the Mystical Sky Mansion, I'm sure it's not a trivial matter. How could Gu Li be qualified to be present on such an occasion?"
"This is because Gu Li was the one who told Gu Ci Yun about this matter, and Gu Ci Yun told the Lord Mansion Master about it," Zhao Deng said.
"Father, you're right.
I still don't know what's going on. What's the matter that made you temporarily put aside your plan to deal with that Ling Tian? "
Zhao Ji asked curiously. He really could not figure out what kind of great contribution Ling Tian could make.
"It's like this …"
Although the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion had asked Zhao Deng and the others to keep this matter a secret, Zhao Ji was different from Wei Wei. He was Zhao Deng's only son.
Therefore, he did not hide it from him and told Zhao Ji that the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing, had cultivated a top Devil Dao Cultivation Method.
"Soul Congregation Technique? Resurrection from the dead? Top Devil Dao Cultivation Method? "
When Zhao Ji heard about this matter, his breathing quickened involuntarily.
If he could cultivate such a Devil Dao Cultivation Method, wouldn't his strength increase in a short period of time? It would be impossible for him to surpass Ling Tian!
After all, Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was able to break through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage from the Early Refined Saint Stage in just a year because he had obtained that Devil Dao Cultivation Method. "If I can cultivate that Devil Dao Cultivation Method, it won't be a problem for me to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage in just a year."
Zhao Ji was very confident about this.
When Zhao Deng saw his son's gleaming eyes, how could he not know what was on his son's mind? He immediately reminded him, "It's fine if Xu Jing cultivates an ordinary Devil Dao Cultivation Method since you'll have a chance to cultivate it. However, if Xu Jing doesn't cultivate an ordinary Devil Dao Cultivation Method but an inhumane one, Lord Mansion Master won't allow anyone to cultivate it."
Zhao Ji nodded. However, inwardly, he did not agree or disagree.
'It's fine as long as I can become stronger. As for inhumane ones, I don't care. As long as I can raise my strength to the point where I can crush Ling Tian, so what if everyone in the world dies?'
This was Zhao Ji's true thoughts. As long as he could raise his cultivation base, he would not hesitate to use any means and disregard any consequences.
"Father, what do you plan to do now?"
Zhao Ji coveted the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that Xu Jing cultivated. Due to this reason, he kept mentioning the matter of going to the Rising Sky Mansion to snatch Xu Jing's Devil Dao Cultivation Method.
"Lord Mansion Master hasn't said what we're going to do. We'll have to wait until all of you come out from the Saint Martial Secret Zone. Only then will Lord Mansion Master be free to do anything," Zhao Deng said.
Zhao Ji was shocked.
"Lord Mansion Master is going to personally make a move?"
Zhao Ji was taken aback. In fact, the Lord Mansion Master of their Mystical Sky Mansion had not made a move for many years. However, he was prepared to make a move this time.
"Our opponent is the Rising Sky Mansion. If Lord Mansion Master isn't here, even if we strike first to gain the upper hand, we'll still suffer quite a bit of damage. The strength of the Rising Sky Mansion's Mansion Master is not inferior to your grandfather. In our Mystical Sky Mansion, only Lord Mansion Master is able to suppress him completely," Zhao Deng said.
Zhao Ji nodded.
A fourth-rate force's foundation and strength could not be underestimated as well.
Moreover, although the Rising Sky Mansion was only a fourth-rate force, it used to be a quasi third-rate force many years ago.
A fourth-rate force like this was much stronger than an ordinary fourth-rate force.
"Ji 'er, I know you hate Ling Tian, but now's not the time to deal with him. If you want to deal with him, you'll have to wait until the matter with the Rising Sky Mansion is over."
Zhao Deng looked at Zhao Ji and warned him.
"Father, if we wait until then, I'm afraid Lord Mansion Master would have already taken Ling Tian as his direct disciple or his last disciple. Didn't you say there's a high possibility Lord Mansion Master would take Duan Lingtian as his direct disciple or his last disciple after we come out of the Saint Martial Secret Zone?"
Zhao Ji became anxious when he heard Zhao Deng's words.
"Ji 'er, I can understand how you feel. However, after all of you come out of the Saint Martial Secret Zone, the first thing Lord Mansion Master would do is not to take Duan Lingtian as his direct disciple or his last disciple. Instead, he would go to the Rising Sky Mansion and snatch the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, has mastered."
Zhao Deng comforted him.
Zhao Ji nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
"Moreover, even if Ling Tian really becomes Lord Mansion Master's direct disciple or his last disciple, don't tell me Lord Mansion Master will always be by his side to protect him? As long as he dares to go out alone, isn't it as easy as killing a chicken or cutting grass for our Zhao Clan to take his life? "
When Zhao Deng reached the end of his sentence, his tone was filled with confidence.
"I'm relieved to hear your words, father."
Zhao Ji felt relieved.
"Alright, Ji 'er, what you should be thinking about now is not the enmity between you and Duan Lingtian. Instead, you should prepare yourself. You'll enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone in ten days. I hope you'll be able to comprehend a high-grade Divine Ability Relic. If you enter the Divine Saint Stage in the future and master that Divine Ability, you'll have a chance to become the next Mansion Master of our Mystical Sky Mansion."
Zhao Deng looked at Zhao Ji expectantly. "There hasn't been such a person in our Zhao Clan before. For this reason, I hope you'll be the first person in our Zhao Clan to be able to master the Divine Ability recorded in the Divine Ability Relic in the Saint Martial Secret Zone after breaking through to the Divine Saint Stage."
"Father, I'll work hard and won't disappoint you," Zhao Ji vowed.
"I won't disappoint you," Zhao Ji said solemnly.
"During this trip to the Saint Martial Secret Zone, apart from you, there are four other people from our Zhao Clan who have also obtained a chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone. However, the strongest person among them is only at the Early Refined Saint Stage. If you have the strength to spare, please help them. If you don't, just take care of yourself, alright? "
Zhao Deng said solemnly. He did not wish for his son to miss out on the high-grade Divine Ability Relic in the Saint Martial Secret Zone because of someone else.
"Yes, father."
In fact, there was no need for Zhao Deng to remind him. After all, Zhao Ji was a selfish person who would do anything to achieve his goal.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was unaware that while he was cultivating and waiting for the day of the Saint Martial Secret Zone's opening, he had managed to escape death due to the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, had cultivated.
Naturally, even if Zhao Deng's Great Direct Disciple, Wei Wei, made a move, he might not necessarily be able to make things difficult for Duan Lingtian. After all, Duan Lingtian had the Jasper Celestial Sword.
However, even if he had the Jasper Celestial Sword, he did not dare to use it in front of others.
The temptation of the Jasper Celestial Sword was not any less than the Devilseal Tablet. Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would not risk using the Jasper Celestial Sword in front of others.
If he did not use the Jasper Celestial Sword, he was definitely not a match for Wei Wei.
Wei Wei might not dare to kill him due to the Mystical Sky Mansion's rules, but he would definitely dare to injure him.
