The Zhao Clan was led by Zhao Jin, the Guardian of Mystical Sky Mansion. Below him was his son, Zhao Deng.
Below him were the Mystical Sky Mansion's elders from the Zhao Clan.
Naturally, not all of these Mystical Sky Mansion's elders had the surname Zhao. Most of them did not have the surname Zhao. Since they relied on Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng, they could be considered as part of the Zhao Clan.
Among these people, there was no lack of disciples from Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng.
If everyone in the Zhao Clan was described as a pyramid, then Zhao Jin would be the person standing at the top of the pyramid. He was the leader of the Zhao Clan.
Due to this reason, every word and action of his represented the will of the Zhao Clan.
For example, if Zhao Jin, the Guardian of Mystical Sky Mansion, had a falling out with Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, the Mystical Sky Mansion's elders and disciples from the Zhao Clan, even those who did not have the surname Zhao, would stand on his side.
Due to this, the Zhao Clan's position in the Mystical Sky Mansion was only second to the Mansion Master.
"Find a way to lure Ling Tian away and kill Ling Tian?"
Soon after, the Mystical Sky Mansion's elders from the Zhao Clan and the disciples on the Mystical Sky Ranking received Zhao Jin's order one after another.
Naturally, it was a secret order.
Although Zhao Jin's position in the Mystical Sky Mansion was extraordinary, he still did not dare to kill someone openly in the Mystical Sky Mansion. This was because there was still a Mansion Master in the Mystical Sky Mansion. He was the true owner of the Mystical Sky Mansion, and he was someone he had to be wary of.
"Ling Tian? This name … Is he the most famous person among the younger generation in our Mystical Sky Mansion? "
Many Mystical Sky Mansion's elders and disciples from the Zhao Clan had just come out of closed-door cultivation. They had only heard that there was a monstrous genius Martial Cultivator in the Mystical Sky Mansion who had broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage before the age of forty.
As for the conflict between the genius Martial Cultivator and Zhao Ji, the Little Young Master of the Zhao Clan, they had not heard about it yet.
"That's right! It's him!"
"What did he do? He actually made Lord Guardian personally order to kill him. "
"You must have just come out of closed-door cultivation, right?"
"Yes, I just came out of seclusion yesterday."
"No wonder … That Ling Tian has a deep grudge with our Zhao Clan, to the point of being mortal enemies! Lord Protector said that if anyone could lure Ling Tian out and kill him, he would take that person as his' adopted son 'or' adopted daughter '. "
"No way? Adopted son? Adopted daughter? Lord Protector's adopted son and daughter are people who can call Lord Zhao Deng's brother! "
"I've already confirmed it. This is definitely not fake news."
"It seems like Lord Protector hates Ling Tian a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a promise … Quickly tell me, how did that Ling Tian offend our Zhao Clan and Lord Protector?"
"That Ling Tian is really something. First, he slapped Young Master Ji twice in front of everyone in the Heaven Palace. Then, he kicked Young Master Ji out of the Saint Martial Secret Zone. Young Master Ji had only been in the Saint Martial Secret Zone for three days. He didn't even have the time to find the Divine Ability Relic, let alone find the Divine Ability.
"It's no wonder then. Everyone only has one chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone in their lifetime. The way he treated Young Master Ji is equivalent to ruining the future of our Zhao Clan. Moreover, Lord Protector dotes on Young Master Ji so much. If Lord Protector doesn't kill him, who else would he kill? "
…
Soon after, all the people from the Zhao Clan in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate began to move as though they were on steroids.
In fact, as long as they lured someone out and killed him, they would be able to become Guardian Zhao Jin's adopted son or adopted daughter!
This was a golden opportunity to turn a pheasant into a phoenix. Nobody was willing to miss out on such a rare opportunity.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was unaware of all this.
It was not only Duan Lingtian, but the other people in the Mystical Sky Mansion were also unaware of this matter.
Although this matter was widely spread among the Mystical Sky Mansion's elders and disciples from the Zhao Clan, it did not leak out at all. Based on this, one could see how strong the Zhao Clan was. It was impossible to find any weakness in their defense.
Many Mystical Sky Mansion's elders and disciples from the Zhao Clan began to make their way to the Heaven Palace from time to time to the place where Duan Lingtian was staying.
However, they soon discovered that Duan Lingtian was in closed-door cultivation. After waiting for more than half a month, they still did not see Duan Lingtian coming out.
For this reason, many people retreated.
Naturally, there were also some people who stayed behind. It was as though they would not give up until Duan Lingtian came out of his closed-door cultivation.
Another half a month went by, and there were not many people left.
'It's better to wait for him to come out of his closed-door cultivation before thinking of a way to lure him out. If we keep waiting here, it's no different from waiting for a rabbit to come out of a stump. It's easy to attract other people's attention.'
This was the thought of most of the Zhao Clan's elders and disciples who had left.
The few people who stayed behind were all Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples from the Zhao Clan. Moreover, they were only at the Early Eminent Saint Stage. All of them dreamed of becoming Guardian Zhao Jin's adopted son by killing Duan Lingtian.
At that time, their status would rise like a rocket!
No matter how lively it was outside, Duan Lingtian was staying in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Currently, he was close to breaking through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage.
As long as he successfully broke through, he would be an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!
At that time, his Sun True Origin would rise again to the point where it was comparable to the True Origin of an ordinary Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse.
'Once I break through, my strength won't be weaker than an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse even if I don't rely on external force and brute force! Not only that, but with the profundity of the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, I'll be able to easily defeat most Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses! '
Duan Lingtian was at the brink of breaking through. His emotions were getting more and more agitated.
At this moment, he was still unaware there were many people out there who wanted his life. As long as they killed him, they would be able to obtain an extraordinary status and become famous!
'Adopted son? Adopted daughter? '
When Zhao Ji who had been in closed-door cultivation for an entire month came out, he instantly heard about the promise his grandfather had made to the Mystical Sky Mansion's elders and disciples from the Zhao Clan. He could not help but feel shocked.
'I can't believe grandfather actually made such a promise for me.'
The moment Zhao Ji thought of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. 'Ling Tian, I'd like to see how long you can live!'
This was Zhao Ji's first time seeing his grandfather going to such lengths to kill someone.
He also believed the promise his grandfather made was enough to make 90% of the people from the Zhao Clan go crazy!
For the sake of this promise, they were even willing to risk their lives!
Soon after, Zhao Ji learned his father was in charge of monitoring Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
Currently, Xu Jing's soul remnant had yet to recover so he was still in a coma.
Currently, he was imprisoned in a secret underground chamber in the Main Mansion of the Mystical Sky Mansion. The secret underground chamber was guarded by the Vice Mansion Masters of Mystical Sky Mansion. They would rotate shifts once a month.
With the Vice Mansion Masters of Mystical Sky Mansion keeping watch, not many people in the Dobusei Subterranean would be able to kidnap Xu Jing.
Moreover, the Vice Mansion Masters of Mystical Sky Mansion were only the last hurdle if they wanted to kidnap Xu Jing. Before that, they would still have to deal with the patrolling elders and disciples around the Main Mansion of the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Coincidentally, it was Zhao Ji's father's turn to be on duty this month.
'Since I have nothing to do, let's go and take a look at Xu Jing! I think I've seen him before. However, he's just the Young Mansion Master of a mere fourth-rate force so I didn't pay attention to him at that time. '
In the Mystical Sky Mansion, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter the secret underground chamber. However, it was extremely easy for Zhao Ji.
This was because he was the Little Young Master of the Zhao Clan!
Even the patrolling elders and disciples in the Main Mansion of the Mystical Sky Mansion and the guards in the Main Mansion had to be wary of Guardian Zhao Jin and Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng who stood behind Zhao Ji.
"Father …"
Due to this reason, Zhao Ji easily arrived outside the secret underground chamber. The moment he reached the door and opened his mouth, before he could even call out 'father', a person appeared out of thin air in front of him.
This person's body was filled with an awe-inspiring killing intent.
"Father, it's me."
When Zhao Ji sensed the killing intent that was surging toward him, horror dawned on him as he hurriedly spoke again.
"Ji 'er, why are you here? Aren't you in closed-door cultivation? "
The person who appeared out of thin air outside the secret underground chamber was none other than one of the Vice Mansion Masters of Mystical Sky Mansion.
He was Zhao Ji's father, Zhao Deng!
When Zhao Deng discovered the person before him was his son, he immediately withdrew the killing intent on his body.
"Father, I've just come out of closed-door cultivation. I heard you're here so I came to see you."
Zhao Ji chuckled.
"You're not here to see me. You're here to see Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, right?"
As Zhao Ji's father, how could Zhao Deng not see through his son's thoughts?
Zhao Ji smiled awkwardly.
"What did you gain from your closed-door cultivation this time?"
Zhao Deng asked.
"I'll definitely break through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage the next time I enter closed-door cultivation!"
Zhao Ji said solemnly.
"Oh?"
Zhao Deng's eyes lit up as he nodded. "That's right! You should be able to break through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage before Gao Peng from your Heaven Palace. Although you're still not as good as Ling Tian, it's still not bad. "
The last sentence was said by Zhao Deng subconsciously.
The moment the words left his mouth, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
As expected, he quickly noticed Zhao Ji's expression had turned grave. He immediately tried to salvage the situation. "However, Ling Tian won't be able to live for long. I'm sure you've heard about your grandfather's order and the promise he made, right? In order to avenge you, your grandfather didn't even ask for my opinion before he decided to find me a sibling. "
When Zhao Deng reached the end of his sentence, he could not help but sigh.
His son's position in his father's heart seemed to be getting lower and lower.
However, he was still his son after all. Zhao Deng was not at a loss for words. He merely sighed emotionally.
"With grandfather's order and promise, Duan Lingtian will definitely die!"
