As soon as the feminine voice left his mouth, the dazzling True Origin that surged out of Zhao Jin's body disappeared before it could even appear on the surface of his body.
Before the True Origin on his body disappeared, one could vaguely see a bright moon appearing at his throat.
As soon as the bright moon moved, the True Origin on Zhao Jin's body disappeared completely.
"A Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardian is nothing much!"
The feminine voice sounded again before it disappeared.
At the same time, the door of the Central Main Hall opened. The windows and doors in the surroundings opened as well, and the entire Main Hall was lit up again.
In the Main Hall that was lit up again, only a corpse was left lying on the ground.
The owner of the corpse was none other than Guardian Zhao Jin of Mystical Sky Mansion. He was a powerhouse at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage.
Currently, he was lying in a pool of blood. Blood was still gushing out of his slit throat.
Apart from the fatal wound on his throat, one could vaguely see a small red dot between his brows. It was a drop of blood.
If one used their Divine Consciousness to examine the spot between Zhao Jin's brows, one would definitely be able to see a bloody hole the size of a needle that went through his forehead to the back of his head.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As the Central Main Hall was lit up again, three Black Armored Guards entered the Main Hall at lightning speed.
One of them brought Zhao Jin's corpse away while the other took away the blood-stained carpet. The last one replaced the carpet in the Central Main Hall with a new one.
After the smell of blood dissipated, the Central Main Hall regained its peace. It was as though nothing had happened earlier.
"This person seems to be a Guardian of Mystical Sky Mansion!"
The Black Armored Guard who was handling Zhao Jin's corpse told the Black Armored Guard who was handling the blood-stained carpet.
"His name seems to be Zhao Jin."
The latter nodded.
"It's said that the two Guardians of Mystical Sky Mansion are both at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. Earlier, from the moment the Central Main Hall was closed to the moment it reopened, it only took a few breaths for Zhao Jin to die. Based on the marks on his corpse, it must be Lord Yue Wu Ying! "
The former said.
When the name 'Yue Wu Ying' was mentioned, his pupils shrunk.
"It's said that in our Azure Cloud Mansion, apart from Lord Mansion Master, even Elder Rong, Elder Ku, and the Lord Commander have never seen Lord Yue Wu Ying's face. Lord Yue Wu Ying is indeed worthy of being Lord Mansion Master's shadow. He's really elusive!"
The latter said.
On the same day, another piece of news came from the Azure Cloud Mansion.
"Guardian Zhao Jin of Mystical Sky Mansion was executed for infuriating the Azure Cloud Mansion!"
Once this news spread, it caused an enormous commotion.
After all, he was a Guardian of the Mystical Sky Mansion, a powerhouse at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!
The news quickly spread to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
The group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, led by Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, gathered again.
Coincidentally, the last time they had gathered was because of the death of Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng. Today, they had gathered again because of the death of Guardian Zhao Jin.
The death of the Zhao Clan's father and son caused a commotion in the Mystical Sky Mansion.
"I'm sure all of you already know about this matter … Guardian Zhao was executed by the Azure Cloud Mansion because he offended them!"
As Meng Qing spoke in a deep voice, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
How could it be good-looking?
Zhao Jin was one of the two great Guardians of the Mystical Sky Mansion. He was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage and was one of the pillars of the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Currently, Zhao Jin's death was no different from breaking one of the pillars of the Mystical Sky Mansion.
"Yes."
Everyone nodded.
"What do all of you think about this matter?"
Meng Qing asked again.
"I don't think Guardian Zhao would be so rash. There must be some misunderstanding."
One of the Vice Mansion Masters of Mystical Sky Mansion was the first to speak.
"I think so too."
Many people agreed.
"Guardian Gu, what do you think?"
Meng Qing asked as he looked at Gu Ci Yun who remained silent.
"I agree with them as well. Moreover, I don't think the Azure Cloud Mansion would kill Guardian Zhao for no reason," Gu Ci Yun said.
"I think so too.
"I can't help but feel that something is amiss. I plan to make a trip to the Azure Cloud Mansion to find out what's going on!"
Meng Qing said in a deep voice as his eyes gleamed.
"Lord Mansion Master, you mustn't!"
"Mansion Master, you mustn't!"
…
Upon hearing Meng Qing's words, many people present on the scene began to panic.
What a joke!
It was fine if Guardian Zhao died when he barged into the Azure Cloud Mansion.
If their Mansion Master went to the Azure Cloud Mansion and followed in Guardian Zhao's footsteps, what would happen to the Mystical Sky Mansion in the future? What would happen to them?
Without Meng Qing, the Mystical Sky Mansion would be like a toothless tiger.
If the Mystical Sky Mansion declined, these people who relied on the Mystical Sky Mansion would be affected as well.
For this reason, they would rather let this matter go than let Meng Qing take the risk.
Meng Qing was not only the Mansion Master of the Mystical Sky Mansion, but he was also the pillar of the Mystical Sky Mansion!
"Don't tell me we're just going to let this matter go? If outsiders find out that the Mystical Sky Mansion is doing nothing about this matter, I wonder what they'll say about us! "
Meng Qing said in a deep voice.
Many people fell silent immediately.
"Mansion Master!"
In the end, it was Gu Ci Yun who broke the silence first. "Let me go. If I can return safely from the Azure Cloud Mansion, it means the Azure Cloud Mansion has no intention of targeting the Mystical Sky Mansion or anyone in the Mystical Sky Mansion. If I can't return safely, it means the Azure Cloud Mansion has the intention of falling out with the Mystical Sky Mansion. "
Gu Ci Yun stepped forward at the critical moment.
In the end, under the persuasion of the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, Meng Qing could only dismiss the idea of personally going to the Azure Cloud Mansion.
He would let Guardian Gu Ci Yun go!
It only took Gu Ci Yun ten days to go to the Azure Cloud Mansion before he returned.
After his return, the group of high-ranking officials, including the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, Meng Qing, gathered together again.
"Mansion Master, after I arrived at the Azure Cloud Mansion, I've been well-behaved. The people in the Azure Cloud Mansion are very polite as well. The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Rufeng, even told me he'd visit the Mystical Sky Mansion if he's free. Mansion Master Duan even said he'd personally welcome you if you visit the Azure Cloud Mansion! "
Gu Ci Yun said to Meng Qing in front of everyone.
Meng Qing's expression softened immediately.
"I've long heard that although the Azure Cloud Mansion has risen rapidly, the people in the Azure Cloud Mansion are not as bossy and domineering as the people from the Mountainshade Black Market. It seems like it has something to do with the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion's humble character."
"Based on Guardian Gu's words, Mansion Master Duan isn't an unreasonable person. Even if Guardian Zhao had offended the Azure Cloud Mansion, he didn't vent his anger on Guardian Gu and the Mystical Sky Mansion because of Guardian Zhao."
"In my opinion, Guardian Zhao must have been unkind and offended the Azure Cloud Mansion previously. Moreover, I think it's not an ordinary offense."
…
The group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials discussed among themselves. Based on their words, everyone was on the Azure Cloud Mansion's side and no one was on Zhao Jin's side.
"Protector Gu, have you asked about Protector Zhao?"
Meng Qing asked as he looked at Gu Ci Yun.
"Yes."
Gu Ci Yun nodded. "I've asked Mansion Master Duan. According to Mansion Master Duan, it was Guardian Zhao who entered the Crouching Dragon Lake and asked the Black Armored Guards guarding the Crouching Dragon Lake if they had seen his son, Zhao Deng. The Black Armored Guards said they had just taken over their shift so they suggested Guardian Zhao to ask the Black Armored Guards from the previous shift.
"After that, Protector Zhao asked the Black Armored Guard to help look for the Black Armored Guard from the previous shift. The Black Armored Guard said that he couldn't leave his post and had to wait until the next shift to help Protector Zhao … However, Protector Zhao didn't listen. He felt that the Black Armored Guard wasn't giving him face, so he attacked and killed him!"
Apart from the Decurion who managed to escape, the other nine Black Armored Guards were killed by Guardian Zhao. Due to this reason, the powerhouses from the Azure Cloud Mansion decided to kill Guardian Zhao! "
Gu Ci Yun did not even bat an eyelid when he told the lie.
However, he did not feel embarrassed at all even though he was lying.
"That's too much!"
"Guardian Zhao is too much!"
"That's right! If Guardian Zhao did not kill him, who would the Azure Cloud Mansion kill? "
…
Zhao Jin's actions had also aroused the wrath of the Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials.
Even Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, frowned even though he did not say anything. He felt Zhao Jin had embarrassed the Mystical Sky Mansion.
From the beginning until the end, nobody doubted Gu Ci Yun's words.
Not even in their wildest dreams would they have thought that Gu Ci Yun had made up the rest of his story.
Naturally, the first half of his story was true.
He had indeed gone to the Azure Cloud Mansion and was warmly received. Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, had even personally accompanied him!
However, the reason he was treated so well was not because he was the Guardian of Mystical Sky Mansion. It was because he was Gu Li's father and had taken care of Duan Lingtian in the past.
Just like that, Zhao Jin's death came to an end.
The Mystical Sky Mansion did not pursue the matter any further.
It was worth mentioning that due to Zhao Deng and Zhao Jin's deaths, the Zhao Clan that had lost its two pillars began to decline.
In the end, it was even reorganized and returned to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
In the residence of Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.
At this moment, there was no one in the spacious and quiet room.
In a small corner behind the bed, a tiny pagoda the size of a speck of dust stood there. Nobody could see it, let alone know that there was something else inside.
"The second form is a success!"
Laughter reverberated in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. After many days of hard work, Duan Lingtian had finally tempered the Golden Crow's Wings to the second form!
"I can finally break through my current cultivation base!"
After the Golden Crow's Wings was tempered to the second form, this meant that Duan Lingtian no longer had to suppress his cultivation base. He could directly break through to the Eminent Saint Stage.
Subsequently, after spending three days and three nights, Duan Lingtian finally took the first step that he could have taken a long time ago.
"Early Eminent Saint Stage!"
When Duan Lingtian sensed the qualitative change in the Sun True Origin in his body, he was filled with excitement.
