"Ling Tian, we're here because we hope you'll stay in the Mystical Sky Mansion and serve the Mystical Sky Mansion!"
Faced with Duan Lingtian's question, Meng Qing did not beat around the bush and said, "As long as you're willing to stay, the Mystical Sky Mansion will spare no effort to nurture you in the future. All the cultivation resources will be given to you without any reservation. Moreover, I can immediately announce that you'll be the next Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion!"
Meng Qing's words were filled with conviction.
The moment Meng Qing's words left his mouth, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials shifted their attention to Duan Lingtian in unison.
Their gazes were filled with anticipation and desire.
As long as this young man before them was willing to stay, the Mystical Sky Mansion would definitely rise to a higher level in the future. It would become a force that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mountainshade Black Market and the Azure Cloud Mansion!
If they could witness that scene while they were still alive, they would have no regrets even if they died!
Upon hearing Meng Qing's words, Duan Lingtian and Gu Li were still fine since they had already guessed it.
However, Wang Fei Xuan was different. She who had not guessed it earlier was stunned again when she regained her senses.
It did not cross her mind that Duan Lingtian would be able to make the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, led by the Lord Mansion Master, come to persuade him to stay.
"Why are you still standing there like a fool? Promise me! "
When Wang Fei Xuan saw Duan Lingtian did not respond even after a long time, she began to feel anxious for him.
In her opinion, Meng Qing's promise was enough to show the sincerity of the Mystical Sky Mansion. With such sincerity, there was no reason for Duan Lingtian to refuse.
Unfortunately, she was destined to live in her own world when it came to this matter.
"Mansion Master, Vice Mansion Masters, and Elders …"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath as he glanced at Meng Qing and the others. After a moment of silence, he continued to say, "Ling Tian appreciates all of your love for Ling Tian because I've already promised my master that I'll go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to look for him. Due to this reason, it's impossible for me to stay in the Mystical Sky Mansion. "
Impossible!
Gu Li was not surprised by Duan Lingtian's words. He knew the Mystical Sky Mansion would not accept his Junior Brother Ling Tian. His Junior Brother Ling Tian's stage should be in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
Meng Qing was not surprised because he had already guessed that this would be the result.
The reason he came here was to make the high-ranking officials of the Mystical Sky Mansion give up.
Wang Fei Xuan was stunned.
The group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials was dumbfounded.
Wang Fei Xuan did not expect Duan Lingtian to refuse.
Among the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, apart from most of them who felt Duan Lingtian would agree, a small portion of them were not certain if Duan Lingtian would agree or not.
However, even if they weren't sure that Duan Lingtian would agree, they didn't expect that Duan Lingtian would reject them so straightforwardly.
From Duan Lingtian's words, it was obvious that there was no room for negotiation!
"You don't know what's good for you!"
"Hurmph! If it wasn't for the Mystical Sky Mansion taking you in and letting you enter the Heaven Palace's Spirit Pool, would you be able to achieve what you have today? "
"Ingrate!"
…
Even among the Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, there were both good and bad people. For this reason, apart from a small portion of people who could understand Duan Lingtian, most of them could not. A small portion of people even began to curse him.
When Duan Lingtian heard these curses, he merely shook his head and smiled.
If it wasn't for the Mystical Sky Mansion taking him in, he would not have achieved what he had today?
If it wasn't for the Heaven Palace's Spirit Pool, he would not have achieved what he had today?
Ingrate?
There were so many Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples, and many of them had gone through the Heaven Palace's Spirit Pool.
However, who would possess a strength comparable to an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse at his age?
Naturally, one could only say that even without the Mystical Sky Mansion, Duan Lingtian's achievements would still not be low.
Duan Lingtian had always been grateful to the Mystical Sky Mansion. Whether it was because of the Heaven Palace's Spirit Pool, the Saint Martial Secret Zone, or Mansion Master Meng Qing and Guardian Gu Ci Yun who had helped him find all kinds of materials to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Although he was grateful, he did not plan to stay in the Mystical Sky Mansion just because he was grateful.
He had things he needed to do!
There were some things that could not be delayed!
Naturally, he would definitely repay the favor he owed the Mystical Sky Mansion in the future, but not in the way he had promised Meng Qing.
Due to Duan Lingtian's rejection, the meeting between him and the Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials ended on a sour note.
At the same time, this matter had swept through the entire Mystical Sky Mansion like a hurricane, causing a commotion in the Mystical Sky Mansion.
"That Ling Tian really doesn't know what's good for him, right?"
"Tsk tsk … If he stays in the Mystical Sky Mansion, not only will the Mystical Sky Mansion spare no effort to nurture him, but Lord Mansion Master will even appoint him as the next Mansion Master. However, he actually rejected it!"
"I really don't know what's going through his mind … If it were me, I would've agreed immediately!"
…
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the Mystical Sky Mansion. All of them felt Duan Lingtian was too arrogant and did not know what was good for him.
Duan Lingtian chose to ignore all of this.
In the Main Mansion of the Mystical Sky Mansion, Guardian Zhao Jin's residence was a vast palace.
Currently, Zhao Jin was together with his son, Zhao Deng.
"Father, we can't let that Ling Tian live … With his innate talent, he'll definitely become a huge threat to our Zhao Clan in the future!"
Zhao Deng's eyes flashed coldly as he said in a deep voice.
"If he had agreed to Lord Mansion Master's request today, perhaps, I might be a little wary of him. I can't believe he actually rejected it so stupidly!"
Zhao Jin sneered.
"Father, since he's determined to leave the Mystical Sky Mansion and has no intention of leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate for the time being, why don't we wait until the day he leaves the Mystical Sky Mansion and kill him?"
Zhao Deng suggested as killing intent surged from his body.
"If he doesn't come out before he leaves the Mystical Sky Mansion, we have no other choice!"
Zhao Jin said.
Even he did not dare to make a move recklessly in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate.
This was because if he made a move in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate, he would be discovered by Mansion Master Meng Qing and Guardian Gu Ci Yun immediately!
Meng Qing and Gu Ci Yun's Divine Consciousness could easily monitor the situation in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate with the help of the Formations that enveloped it.
Due to this reason, nobody dared to make a move recklessly in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate.
Unless that person did not want to live anymore!
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was unaware that Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng had already made up their minds to kill him.
Even if he did not leave the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate for the time being, they would still kill him on the day he left the Mystical Sky Mansion!
Currently, Duan Lingtian had already returned to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He was cultivating and comprehending the Sovereign Heart Sword at the same time.
When he encountered a bottleneck, he would leave the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and his residence to chat with Gu Li and Wang Fei Xuan. They would even discuss the Martial Dao and Divine Abilities.
Apart from that, he also sent a steady stream of materials to Huo Lao.
The restoration of the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was in full swing through Huo Lao's hands.
Time flew by, and a year had passed in just a blink of an eye.
Of course, the 'one year' referred to the time in the outside world.
Five years had already passed in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
In these five years, Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had also improved by leaps and bounds.
His comprehension of the Sovereign Heart Sword was only half a step away from the third stage.
In this one year, Duan Lingtian was not the only one whose cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds.
In the west of the Dobusei Subterranean, in a vast and barren land far away, there were also two people whose cultivation bases were improving at an insane speed. The speed of improvement was even more exaggerated than Duan Lingtian who was cultivating in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
These two people's cultivation method was not the conservative method of sitting quietly and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy to cultivate. Their cultivation method required young women, a lot of young women!
Naturally, the effect of virgin girls was even better!
The young women they had used for cultivation had all been sucked dry. The commotion they had caused could not be said to be small.
However, this commotion did not spread out.
This was because those who saw the dried corpses or those who discovered the disappearance of the young women were all secretly killed by them.
The two people who were cultivating in this area were none other than the former Palace Master of the Mystical Sky Mansion's Heaven Palace, Zhu Lüqi, and the grandson of the current Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardian and the son of the Vice Mansion Master, Zhao Ji.
"Hahahaha!"
Zhao Ji laughed heartily as he stood up from the lush forest. He was completely naked, and there was a dried corpse lying by his feet.
If one looked closely, one would discover the dried corpse belonged to a young woman.
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground below the dried corpse, it was not difficult to guess this young woman was still a virgin.
"Mastery Eminent Saint Stage … I've broken through to the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage!"
After laughing for a while, Zhao Jin seemed to have had enough. Then, he turned his attention to his current cultivation.
In just a year, his cultivation base had broken through from the Mastery Refined Saint Stage to the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage!
All of this was due to the Devouring Dark Devil Technique!
In this one year, there were countless young women who were sucked dry by him.
He had also relied on the vital Qi and blood of those young women to achieve his current cultivation base.
In the past, he did not even dare to dream of such an improvement!
"However, although I've broken through to the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage, I might not be able to defeat Ling Tian. After all, he was already at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage a year ago! Continue! Continue to cultivate! "
The moment Zhao Ji thought of Duan Lingtian, it was as though a bucket of cold water had been splashed on his head. He shuddered and regained his senses.
"Zhao Ji!"
Just as Zhao Ji was about to look for his next target, an old voice resonated in the air.
Following that, a figure appeared in front of Zhao Ji.
"Palace Master Zhu."
When Zhao Ji saw the newcomer, he grinned. "I've already broken through to the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage … How's your progress? Have you broken through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage? "
Six months ago, Zhu Lüqi whose cultivation base was at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage had successfully broken through to the Early Exemplary Saint Stage that he had always dreamed of with the help of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. After that, he continued to improve by leaps and bounds.
"Just a little bit more …"
