“Isn’t that obvious? If he didn’t show mercy the moment he made his move, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi would most likely not stand a chance at all. Perhaps, the reason he had allowed the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi to make their moves first is to fool them.”

“To think I thought Xu Jing had overestimated himself initially. I can’t believe he’s actually a Devil Cultivator who has reached the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!”

“That’s right! If he had shown his strength at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in the beginning, we wouldn’t have thought he was being arrogant for challenging the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi at the same time.”

“I think he’d done this intentionally… If he had shown his strength at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage when he fought with Zhong Gu, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi might not accept his challenge even if they were allowed to join forces.”

“You have a point. In this case, it seems like Xu Jing has a scary and scheming mind!”

On the Nimble Chess Set, the crowd whispered about Xu Jing’s cultivation base.

Currently, Ren Zhong, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, Liu Hong Guang, the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion, and Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion were looking at Xu Jing skeptically as well.

They were not unfamiliar with Devil Cultivators. Moreover, they also knew many Devil Cultivators and that the cultivating speed of a Devil Cultivator was much faster than an ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivator.

However, even if Xu Jing was a Devil Cultivator now, it only took him a year to rise to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage from the Early Refined Saint Stage. His progress had alarmed them greatly.

What kind of monstrous progress was this?

Even if he was a Devil Cultivator, they had never heard of one that could break through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage from the Early Refined Saint Stage in just a span of one year.

“Even in those powerful forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, I don’t think there are many people who can progress so fast in just a year, right?”

“How did Xu Jing progress so quickly?”

“That’s right! I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter he had. Unfortunately, he probably won’t say anything about it. Since he’s the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, it’s not like we can force him to tell us.”

Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang exchanged glances with each other as they communicated using Voice Transmission.

They were truly baffled over Xu Jing’s progress in this one year. They were curious about what fortuitous encounter he had this year, but they knew Xu Jing would not tell them even they asked.

Everyone was selfish, let alone the fact that they were not even from the Rising Sky Mansion.

“The peak of the Refined Saint Stage…” In the distance, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned even grimmer as he stared at Xu Jing.

Originally, at that instant when he comprehended the second stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, he was confident he could kill Xu Jing. Naturally, that was when he thought Xu Jing was at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage.

Although he had comprehended the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, he did not dare to say he was 100% confident he could defeat Xu Jing who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage.

‘It’s a good thing I managed to comprehend the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword in time. Otherwise, I’ll be considered lucky if he didn’t manage to kill me. It’s absolutely impossible for me to kill him!’ Duan Ling Tian counted himself lucky when he thought about this.

However, Duan Ling Tian did not forget how he had managed to break through to the Sovereign Heart Sword’s second stage. He looked at the place where Jing Xu Zi was killed, and he thought to himself, ‘Jing Xu Zi, it’s your Yin Yang Two Qis Swords that allowed me to comprehend the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword…. Don’t worry, I’ll kill him to avenge you!’

Duan Ling Tian looked at Xu Jing as his eyes shone brightly.

After comprehending the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, he was not afraid of fighting Xu Jing who had broken through to the peak of Refined Saint Stage. However, he was not confident he could kill him.

Based on his judgment, the gap between his and Xu Jing’s strength should not be too wide if they did not rely on external forces. Even if he was stronger, he would not be much stronger.

Duan Ling Tian was determined to fight Xu Jing this time since it was the best time to kill him and solve Han Xue Nai’s crisis.

If Xu Jing had died outside of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, it would definitely implicate the Greenwave Han Mansion, and that was something he did not want to see. Otherwise, he would not have come here alone to join the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.

The reason Duan Ling Tian wanted to kill Xu Jing initially was due to Han Xue Nai. However, part of the reason now was due to Jing Xu Zi as well.

Although he and Jing Xu Zi were strangers, Jing Xu Zi had indirectly helped him. This was a favor he needed to repay.

All along, Duan Ling Tian was someone who did not like to owe people favors, let alone a favor from a dead person.

Due to this reason, he was even more determined to kill Xu Jing to return this favor. His gaze turned even more determined as well.

“Young Mansion Master has actually broken through to t-the peak of the Refined Saint Stage?” The people from Rising Sky Mansion was in a commotion as well.

Since they were from the Rising Sky Mansion, they knew more than anyone else about Xu Jing. Due to this, they were even more baffled compared to other people. It was only now that they regained their senses.

Naturally, this was also because their cultivation base was not high enough.

Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, had snapped out of his daze a long time ago.

“H-He has broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!” The muscles on Xu Cen’s old face was twitching, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He really had no idea how Xu Jing who was merely at the Early Refined Saint Stage a year ago had risen to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage after a year. This was beyond his scope of understanding.

Although he did not understand it, it did not stop him from being interested in Xu Jing’s fortuitous encounter. ‘When I return to the Rising Sky Mansion, I must join forces with the other elders and the few Vice Mansion Masters to force him to tell us about his fortuitous encounter. Perhaps, my strength will also rise as quickly if I can also have the same fortuitous encounter?’

The moment he thought of this, his heart began to beat enthusiastically. The sorrow he felt over his grandson, Xu Can’s death, had also dissipated a lot by now.

The people from Rising Sky Mansion who had finally snapped out of their daze were shocked by Xu Jing’s cultivation base, and their eyes contained different kinds of emotions when they looked at Xu Jing.

“Xu Jing, I can’t believe you’ve broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage… I believe that everybody present on the scene must be curious as to how you managed to rise to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage from the Early Refined Saint Stage in just a year. I wonder if you can explain it to us?” Ren Zhong asked bluntly as he looked at Xu Jing.

Although he knew it was unlikely Xu Jing would answer him, he still could not help but ask.

Upon hearing Ren Zhong’s words, Liu Hong Guang also looked at Xu Jing. His expression was a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.

Even the people from Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, and everyone else, including Duan Ling Tian, turned to look at Xu Jing as well.

The group of people from Brahma Temple and Pure Yang Shrine, including the Abbot and the Shrine Master, also looked at Xu Jing. Amidst the anger and hatred in their eyes, a hint of curiosity could be seen as well. It was apparent they were also curious about Xu Jing’s fortuitous encounter in the past year.

There was no one who was not curious about Xu Jing’s fortuitous encounter in the past year.

The fact that he had broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage from the Early Refined Saint Stage was just too ridiculous.

In the distance, the hunchback young man who followed Xu Jing here had a smug expression on his face. He felt proud when he saw how the limelight had shifted to his Young Mansion Master.

He might not have any position in the Rising Sky Mansion, but he was the only person who knew his Young Mansion Master’s secret. Although he knew his Young Mansion Master’s secret, he did not dare to reveal it since he had sworn on the lightning penalty oath. If he went against his words, he would be struck to death by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

“Vice Mansion Master Ren, I know what all of you are thinking. I admit that I indeed had a fortuitous encounter in this past year. However, a fortuitous encounter can’t be reenacted. It just so happens that I’m lucky,” Xu Jing said calmly as everyone looked at him.

“What a pity.” Upon hearing that, Ren Zhong sighed immediately. Nobody knew if he really believed Xu Jing’s words. Naturally, it was not important whether he believed it or not.

After killing the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, Xu Jing had become the Ring Master again.

Meanwhile, the bright sun at the horizon had also begun to move west. Evening would fall in two hours time.

After Xu Jing became the Ring Master, there were still a few Ring Masters on the scene.

An Early Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator whose strength was stronger came up and became the last Ring Master.

At the same time, another two Early Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators whose strength was quite powerful defeated Xu Gang and another Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple, effectively replacing them as Ring Masters.

Many people sighed when they saw this.

Even if the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were not as powerful as the current Xu Jing, they would have been able to enter the top four of the Rising Sky Ranking without any problem if they did not die. It was unfortunate that both of them had died.

Naturally, they thought it would be easy for the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi to make it to the top four of the Rising Sky Ranking was because of Duan Ling Tian, or to be more precise, Li Feng.

Although Duan Ling Tian had only fought twice, he had easily killed Xu Can, the grandson of Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion. That was more than enough proof of his strength.

He was either an outstanding powerhouse at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage who was already close to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage or a Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!

Soon after, someone glanced at Duan Ling Tian before glancing at Xu Jing and muttered, “One of the two Rising Sky Mansion’s disciples whom Li Feng killed was the grandson of the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion… I wonder if Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, will fight Li Feng or not!”

Although his voice was not loud, everyone still heard it.

Everyone’s eyes began to flit between Duan Ling Tian and Xu Jing.

Even Xu Cen was looking at Xu Jing eagerly. Although he felt Li Feng who had killed his grandson would admit defeat immediately if Xu Jing challenged him, he still hoped Xu Jing would challenge Li Feng to take him down a notch.

As for Li Feng, he would, naturally, find a chance to kill him in the future. Even if Li Feng joined the Sky Hurdle Mansion or Raging Wave Mansion, he would definitely find an opportunity to seek revenge for his grandson.

‘Even if he doesn’t challenge me, I’d want to challenge him!’ Duan Ling Tian smirked inwardly as he looked at Xu Jing when he noticed everyone’s eyes were on him and Xu Jing.
