The group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, including Mansion Master Meng Qing, had rushed here when they heard about Xu Jing being rescued.
However, when the group arrived, they realized that there was only one person missing.
Moreover, it just so happened that it was his turn to guard this place and keep an eye on Xu Jing. It was none other than Zhu Lüqi, the Palace Master of Heaven Palace!
"Lord Mansion Master! Lord Mansion Master! "
Just as the atmosphere in the secret underground room became a little tense, an anxious voice suddenly resonated from outside.
"Ji 'er?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
What was he doing here at this time?
Soon after, Zhao Ji appeared in front of the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials. He was panting.
"Ji 'er, what are you doing here? You shouldn't have come here! "
Zhao Deng glared at Zhao Ji and said in a low voice.
When he was on duty previously, it was not a big deal for Zhao Ji to come here. However, the Mansion Master and the others were here today, and the atmosphere was a little strange. He was worried his son's arrival would anger the Mansion Master.
"Ji 'er, listen to me and go back!"
At this moment, Zhao Jin also spoke.
"Lord Mansion Master!"
However, Zhao Ji ignored his grandfather and father. His gaze landed on Meng Qing who was looking at him with a solemn expression. "Earlier, I think I saw our Heavenly Palace's Palace Master Zhu bringing someone to the north … A patrolling elder and more than ten patrolling disciples were all injured by him."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
The moment Zhao Jin's words left his mouth, horror dawned on the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, including Meng Qing.
'Embezzlement!'
At this moment, these words appeared in the minds of the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials.
Whoosh!
As though a gust of wind had blown through the secret underground room, Meng Qing disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Let's go!"
Subsequently, Gu Ci Yun and Zhao Jin, the two Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardians, left as well.
The other Vice Mansion Masters followed suit as well.
Zhao Deng raised his hand and brought Zhao Ji along. As he followed them, he asked, "Ji 'er, did you really see it clearly? Did Palace Master Zhu bring someone to the north? "
"Father, I wouldn't dare to joke about this … Right now, that Patrol Elder should be rushing over here as well."
Zhao Ji asked solemnly, "Father, is the person Palace Master Zhu brought away Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion?"
"Yes."
A cold light flashed in Zhao Deng's eyes. "I didn't expect Zhu Lüqi to be so bold as to take Xu Jing away … It seems like he found out about the Devil Dao Cultivation Method from Xu Jing! That Devil Dao cultivation method is most likely that kind of deranged cultivation method! "
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Deng connected the dots.
This also caused Zhao Ji to be extremely shocked, and he secretly wiped off a layer of cold sweat.
Along the way, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, led by Mansion Master Meng Qing, encountered a Mystical Sky Mansion's elder who was rushing north.
The Mystical Sky Mansion's elder's face was pale. It was obvious he was severely injured.
"Lord Mansion Master, Palace Master Zhu forcefully took Xu Jing away and injured us. This is the jade token that Palace Master Zhu asked me to pass to you."
When the Mystical Sky Mansion's elder saw Meng Qing, he immediately passed the jade token in his hand to him.
Meng Qing took the jade token with a solemn expression. He mobilized the energy in his body and inserted it into the jade token.
He purposely let the voice in the jade token play.
"Lord Mansion Master, the cultivation method that Xu Jing cultivates is the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that's famous in the Lower Province many years ago … Even if you steal and obtain such a horrifying cultivation method using the Soul Searching Secret Tactic, you're destined to only be left with dust in the Mystical Sky Mansion!"
"For this reason, I took Xu Jing away because I need the Devouring Dark Devil Technique! Only by cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique will I be able to wash away the humiliation that Feng Bu Yi from the Mountainshade Black Market has brought me! "
Zhu Lüqi's voice resonated in the air. "Originally, I thought I'd never be able to seek revenge from Feng Bu Yi in this lifetime. However, the appearance of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique has given me hope! After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to take Xu Jing away to obtain the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. "
"Don't worry, Lord Mansion Master. As long as I obtain the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, I'll think of a way to get rid of Xu Jing! No matter what, Xu Jing's existence is still a hidden danger to our Mystical Sky Mansion. From today onward, I, Zhu Lüqi, will leave the Mystical Sky Mansion. Everything I do in the future will have nothing to do with the Mystical Sky Mansion!
I hope Lord Mansion Master will take into account that I've worked hard for the Mystical Sky Mansion and the Heaven Palace in the past and don't make things difficult for my disciples. They're innocent, and I've let them down! "
Zhu Lüqi's voice stopped at this point.
The Devouring Dark Devil Technique!
At this moment, other than Zhao Ji, everyone present on the scene turned pale with fright.
To them, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique was a legendary cultivation method. The cultivation process was so crazy that it made one's hair stand on end.
The Devil Cultivator who cultivated this Devil Technique had become a public enemy at that time. The entire Dobusei Subterranean could not tolerate him at all.
However, even in such a harsh environment, the Devil Cultivator still managed to kill a few powerhouses at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage with just his cultivation base at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage despite being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the Lower Province.
As for the other powerhouses who were killed, there were countless of them!
That battle could be considered as an unprecedented battle in the Lower Province!
Even then, the Devil Cultivator who cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique did not die. He paid the price of being heavily injured and escaped to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
However, from that moment onward, the Devil Cultivator had become a legend in the Dobusei Subterranean.
Naturally, this legend only left behind a bad name for the future generations. This was because he had killed many young women in order to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
All of the young women's vital energy and blood were devoured by him until they were turned into dried corpses!
His crime had reached the point where he was hated by both men and gods!
It was precisely because of the commotion caused by that Devil Cultivator that year that the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that he cultivated was known by everyone. At that time, everyone regarded him as a scourge.
Even after so many years had passed, the fame of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique had still been passed down.
Naturally, the group of high-ranking officials in the Mystical Sky Mansion had also heard of this Cultivation Method.
It was precisely because of this that they revealed such a shocked expression when they learned that Xu Jing's cultivation method was actually the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
"Foolish! Senior Brother Zhu is foolish! "
In the end, Qian Ping Sheng, the Palace Master of Yellow Palace, was the first to regain his senses. Horror dawned on his face. "Even if he obtains the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he'll definitely become the public enemy of the entire Lower Province and the entire Dao Martial Saint Land in the future. Is it worth it to have a small conflict with Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market?"
"The conflict between Senior Brother Zhu and Feng Bu Yi, in Feng Bu Yi's eyes, and even in our eyes, is just a small conflict … But if I put myself in Senior Brother Zhu's shoes, facing Feng Bu Yi's humiliation, I would definitely feel worse than death!"
The Palace Master of Earth Palace said in a deep voice, "Due to this reason, although Senior Brother Zhu's decision is shocking, it's understandable."
"Is it really worth it to make an enemy out of everyone in the world just for Feng Bu Yi?"
The Palace Master of Mystical Palace sighed.
"Mansion Master, Zhu Lüqi kidnapped Xu Jing and took away the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. His crime is heinous. After we capture him, he should be executed!"
Guardian Zhao Jin said as he looked at Meng Qing with a cold gleam in his eyes.
"Palace Master Zhu announced his departure from the Mystical Sky Mansion because he was worried news of him cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique would spread and implicate the Mystical Sky Mansion. Although his method was a little extreme, it's undeniable that he was still thinking about the Mystical Sky Mansion even at the last moment. Due to this reason, I think it's enough to capture Palace Master Zhu and stop him from cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
He doesn't deserve to die, "the other Guardian, Gu Ci Yun, expressed his opinion.
The two great Guardians had spoken as well, but their opinions were completely different.
Zhao Jin's expression darkened as he glared at Gu Ci Yun. Just as he was about to say something, the Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials present on the scene expressed their opinions one after another.
"I support Guardian Gu's opinion!"
"I support Guardian Gu as well!"
"I support Guardian Gu!"
…
Most of the Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials present on the scene supported Gu Ci Yun's opinion. This caused Zhao Jin to swallow his words.
Although he felt aggrieved, there was nothing he could do.
Put aside the fact that Gu Ci Yun's strength was not inferior to his, and his position in the Mystical Sky Mansion was not inferior to his as well, with everyone supporting Gu Ci Yun, he no longer had the right to call the shots.
After all, he was only a Guardian and not the Mansion Master!
"I believe that if Xu Jing's cultivation method is not the Devouring Dark Devil Technique but an ordinary Devil Dao Cultivation Method, Palace Master Zhu would definitely not take such a risk. Based on the words Palace Master Zhu left behind, he can be spared from death! However, although he can be spared from death, he still has to be punished. Guardians, please go and bring Palace Master Zhu back. "
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, also expressed his opinion.
Although he did not agree with Gu Ci Yun's opinion, his words were undoubtedly in line with Gu Ci Yun's opinion.
"Yes, Mansion Master."
In the Mystical Sky Mansion, not only was Meng Qing the Mansion Master, but he was also the strongest person. Even Gu Ci Yun and Zhao Jin, the two Guardians, were not as strong as him.
Due to this reason, Gu Ci Yun and Zhao Jin did not dare to slack off when faced with his order.
After responding, Gu Ci Yun and Zhao Jin left and headed north.
"What happened today must not be spread to the ears of outsiders. Those who violate this will be killed without mercy!"
After Gu Ci Yun and Zhao Jin left, Meng Qing swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Everyone present on the scene nodded solemnly when they heard Meng Qing's order. They also knew that if news of what happened today spread out, it would only bring trouble to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
As members of the Mystical Sky Mansion, it was only natural that they did not want trouble to befall the Mystical Sky Mansion.
"Old Man Gu and my grandfather personally made a move … Will Palace Master Zhu be able to escape?"
