Faced with the consolation from the high-ranking officials of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Cen thought to himself, ‘Don’t tell me they’ve not realized the Young Mansion Master’s Soul Pearl has also shattered?’

Although he did not think it was possible, faced with the current situation, he had no other choice but to think so. He could not think of any other reason why this group of people would only comfort him.

Judging by their manner, it was obvious the high-ranking officials, including the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, did not know about Xu Jing’s death.

“Lord Mansion Master, Xu Can’s strength is not as good as the others, and his sacrifice for the Rising Sky Mansion is heroic and brave. I’ve come to accept it now, but Young Mansion Master…” Xu Cen looked at the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. Initially, when he was talking about his grandson, he was holding back the grievances he felt, but when he reached the end of his sentence, he could not help but smile wryly as he turned to look at the back.

“What’s wrong with Jing’er?” Xu Cen’s words also caused the expression of Xu Yi Cheng, the Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, to turn grave immediately. He instantly turned to look at where Xu Cen was staring at. In just a glance, he saw the body that was being carried by a hunchback young man.

Whoos.h.!.+

As though a gust of wind had blown past, the hunchback young man took a step back and the body he was carrying over his shoulder was already in Xu Yi Cheng’s embrace.

“Young Mansion Master!” Upon seeing the b.l.o.o.d.y hole between his brows and his body that was covered in dried blood, the high-ranking officials who followed after Xu Yi Cheng turned horrified one after another.

It was impossible for him to survive such an injury.

“Impossible!” At this moment, Xu Yi Cheng looked at his son who was in his embrace with an expression of disbelief on his face. At the same time, he took out a Soul Pearl.

The Soul Pearl belonged to his son, Xu Jing.

The Soul Pearl was still intact, and this meant his son was not dead.

At this moment, when Xu Cen saw Xu Yi Cheng took out the Soul Pearl with disbelief clearly written on his face, he could feel chills running up his spine. “Lord Mansion Master, the Soul Pearl in your hand…”

“This is Jing’er’s Soul Pearl! He’s still alive!” Xu Yi Cheng’s tone brooked no argument. The Soul Peal could not lie.

“What?!”

“He’s not dead?”

“The s.p.a.ce between his brows has been pierced, and his soul is shattered. The Young Mansion Master suffered such an injury, but he’s still alive? This is impossible, right?!”

Currently, Xu Cen was not the only one who was shocked. Even the group of high-ranking officials and disciples standing behind him were dumbfounded as well. The Rising Sky Mansion’s disciples who had gone to the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, in particular, were even more shocked since they had witnessed Xu Jing being killed with their own eyes.

The sword pierced through the s.p.a.ce between his brows, and his soul was shattered. Even if a deity descended on earth, he might not be able to bring him back to life.

However, the Mansion Master said the Young Mansion Master was still alive?

‘Could it be that the Mansion Master has gone crazy after seeing his son has died?’ Many Rising Sky Mansion’s disciples shared the same thought. Naturally, they did not dare to verbalize their thoughts.

Most people were baffled when they looked at the intact Soul Pearl in Xu Yi Cheng’s hand. ‘Is this really the Young Mansion Master’s Soul Pearl? It’s obvious the Young Mansion Master is dead. How can his Soul Pearl still be intact? Could be it that the Lord Mansion Master has got the wrong Soul Pearl?’

At this moment, they only thought the Mansion Master had mistaken someone else’s Soul Pearl for the Young Mansion Master’s Soul Pearl.

Xu Yi Cheng, the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was a majestic-looking man with a huge build although his appearance was ordinary.

At this moment, he stretched his Divine Consciousness out and entered his son’s body. Soon after, he sensed a weak vitality in the depth of his son’s mind. That vitality belonged to the soul. Although it was very weak, it still felt very familiar to him. This was because the soul’s vitality was identical to the trace of the soul in the Soul Pearl he was holding.

“Jing’er!” Although he had no idea how his son had survived such an injury, it was not what he was concerned about. He was more concerned if his son was really alive.

Such a weak soul vitality might shatter completely if he was not careful.

“F-Fa… t-ther… I n-need a… a quiet r-room… I… I o-only nee… need t-three years a-at most t-to… to heal c-completely…” Just as Xu Yi Cheng’s Divine Consciousness enveloped the small trace of soul vitality, he heard a voice through his Divine Consciousness.

After the voice was transmitted to him, the originally weak soul seemed to have gotten even weaker.

“Okay! Okay!” Upon hearing his son’s voice and learning that his son was not dead and had a chance to recover, Xu Yi Cheng temporarily threw everything to the back of his mind and carried Xu Jing to the mansion he usually stayed in and placed him in a quiet underground room.

Everyone, including Xu Cen, was bewildered when they saw the Mansion Master bringing the Young Mansion Master’s body away.

However, they soon saw Xu Yi Cheng making his way back again.

They noticed the expression of their Lord Mansion Master was extremely grim at this moment.

They were not surprised at all. After all, everyone would be in a bad mood after learning their son had died.

After Xu Yi Cheng returned, he instantly looked at Xu Cen and asked in a deep voice, “Grand Elder, what happened exactly during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle? Why is my son injured to such a degree? Moreover, how did your grandson, Xu Can, and the other two disciples died?”

“Injured?” Upon hearing Xu Yi Cheng’s words, everyone, including Xu Cen, was stunned.

Lord Mansion Master said the Young Mansion Master was injured?

Was he not dead?

“Lord Mansion Master, the Young Mansion Master…” At this moment, one of the Vice Mansion Masters of Rising Sky Mansion could no longer hold back. He looked at Xu Yi Cheng and asked, “H-he’s only injured?”

“Severely injured! He’ll need at least three years to completely recover,” Xu Yi Cheng replied coldly. Based on his tone, he was in an extremely bad mood.

What kind of father would be in a good mood if his son was injured to such an extent?

Xu Yi Cheng’s eyes did not leave Xu Cen at all. He was really curious about what had taken place at the Rising Sky Ranking Battle that caused three people’s death and one person to be gravely injured. They were four of the most outstanding people among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion.

“He’s only injured?” Upon hearing Xu Yi Cheng’s words, whether it was Xu Cen or the others, their faces were filled with disbelief.

They had seen Xu Jing’s body earlier. From the place between his brows, it was pierced cleanly through. By right, his soul should have shattered, and it was impossible for him to survive.

However, their Lord Mansion Master was saying that he was only injured and would recover in three years’ time?

“L-Lord Mansion Master… I-Is what you said true?” Xu Cen asked in disbelief.

At the same time, the others also looked at Xu Yi Cheng, the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. They were extremely curious about this since they all felt this was impossible. However, since Lord Mansion Master had already said so, there must be a reason behind it.

“I’ve no idea what happened to Jing’er as well. Although he’s injured, and his soul’s shattered, it has not completely faded away. Moreover, he could still communicate with me even though his soul is weak. He told me it would take him three years to recover at most. That’s why I want to know what actually happened during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, and what happened to Jing’er.” When Xu Yi Cheng reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Xu Cen again. “He’s really not dead!”

However, at this moment, Xu Cen and the others’ attention was not on the latter part of Xu Yi Cheng’s speech. This was because they were completely taken aback by the first half of Xu Yi Cheng’s words.

He had suffered such a severe injury, and yet his soul did not fade away?

What kind of monster was Young Mansion Master?!

At this moment, an old Vice Mansion Master asked hesitantly, “Could it be that Young Mansion Master has mastered the Soul Congregation technique?”

“Soul Congregation technique?” Everyone, including Xu Yi Cheng, instantly s.h.i.+fted their attention to the Vice Mansion Master.

They were all familiar with this Vice Mansion Master. Although he was not the strongest in the Rising Sky Mansion, he was very knowledgeable. There were no books or records in the Rising Sky Mansion that he had not read.

In the Rising Sky Mansion, if he claimed to be number two in terms of knowledge, n.o.body would dare to claim to be number one.

“Yes, it’s the Soul Congregation technique.” The ancient Vice Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion nodded before saying grimly, “I’ve read in an ancient book pa.s.sed down in our Rising Sky Mansion, it’s said that some of the top-rate Devil Cultivation Techniques have the Soul Congregation technique. Even if the soul is temporarily shattered, it would be able to recover after a while. However, the process to rea.s.semble all the fragments of the soul is extremely difficult. Moreover, healing the soul and attaching it to a body would take at least three to five years. Perhaps, even longer.”

As he reached this part of the sentence, he paused for a while before continuing again, “Just like that Devil Cultivator who caused the downfall of our Rising Sky Mansion to a fourth-rate force from a quasi third-rate force. According to the information in the ancient book, the malicious Devil Cultivation Technique, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that he cultivated was a top-rate Devil Cultivation Technique. It contained the Soul Congregation technique as well.”

Devil Cultivator!

Devouring Dark Devil Technique!

Upon hearing the Vice Mansion Master’s words, the crowd fell silent immediately.

Almost everyone in the Rising Sky Mansion knew about what happened in the past in the Rising Sky Mansion.

The Devil Cultivator who cultivated the malicious devil technique, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, was someone who was hated to the core by everyone in the Rising Sky Mansion. If it was not because of him, the Rising Sky Mansion would not have fallen to such a level.

“If the Young Mansion Master is a Devil Cultivator and has cultivated a top-rate devil technique, it’s not surprising if he knows about the Soul Congregation technique. However, as far as I know, the Young Mansion Master is not a Devil Cultivator,” the ancient Vice Mansion Master continued to say.

The moment these words left his mouth, Xu Yi Cheng and the group of people who did not attend the Rising Sky Ranking Battle nodded their heads one after another.

However, the people who had just returned from the Nimble Valley, including Xu Cen, stood around and looked at each other.

This was because they knew the Young Mansion Master was a Devil Cultivator now.

n.o.body noticed this.

Standing behind Xu Cen and the others, the eyes of the hunchback young man who carried Xu Jing’s body back lit up immediately when he heard the ancient Vice Mansion Master’s words.
