‘It’s only natural for them to think my son, Zhao Ji, had used an evasion Dao Talisman,’ Zhao Deng thought to himself.

“As far as I know, all of those above the intermediate Eminent Saint Stage at the Mystical Sky Mansion’s estate who’re not in closed-door cultivation have gone to pursue Ling Tian. However, why is it only all of you are left? Where are Zhao Dong and the others?” Zhao Deng looked at the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage. An ominous feeling rose in his heart.

“Lord Vice Mansion Master, Zhao Dong and all the Senior Brothers at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage have been killed by Ling Tian!” Someone answered his question quickly.

“What?!” Horror dawned on Zhao Deng as soon as he heard that. It felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck him. “Zhao Dong was killed?”

Zhao Dong was a disciple from the Zhao Clan who was ranked at the top of the Mystical Sky Ranking. He had even entered the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage not long ago, but he was still killed by Ling Tian!

“Ling Tian!” Flames of rage seemed to appear in Zhao Deng’s eyes. It seemed as though it would burn everything.

To think Ling Tian dared to kill Zhao Dong and so many of their Zhao Clan’s Mastery Eminent Saint Stage disciples. This would no doubt destroy the foundation of their Zhao Clan.

Perhaps, Zhao Dong and the others might not be able to be the pillars of Zhao Clan for now. However, after several dozens of years or even a hundred years later, the people from Zhao Clan would be able to rely on them. However, before Zhao Dong and the others had time to grow stronger, they had already been killed by Ling Tian.

How could Zhao Deng not be furious?

At this instant, Zhao Deng seemed to have forgotten one thing. If Zhao Dong and the others did not go after Ling Tian, he would not have acted so mercilessly.

Naturally, although he did not think of that, even if he did, he would still feel they did not do anything wrong. In his opinion, it was okay for the Zhao Clan’s member to kill other people but not the other way around.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Deng suppressed the flames of rage in his heart as he looked at the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples from the Zhao Clan and asked again, “When did all of you meet Ji’er?”

“Little Junior Brother arrived soon after Ling Tian killed Zhao Dong and the others,” someone replied.

“Were all of you present of the scene?” Zhao Deng’s expression was extremely grim. “Why didn’t Ling Tian kill all of you?”

“Perhaps, it’s because we were too slow and didn’t reach in time. For this reason, maybe we did not incur his wrath or maybe he didn’t think we’re even worth killing,” somebody said with a wry smile.

‘Ji’er must have gone to chase after Ling Tian! Don’t tell me he’s killed by Ling Tian! Impossible! Ling Tian is only at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage. It’s impossible for him to kill Ji’er!’ Many thoughts flashed across Zhao Deng’s mind as he flew out in the direction Duan Ling Tian had gone.

He was certain that his son had gone to chase after Ling Tian! For this reason, he would have to head in this direction if he wanted to find clues related to his son’s death.

“Lord Vice Mansion Master’s expression doesn’t look too good!” When the group of Zhao Clan’s disciples at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage saw Zhao Deng left in a haste without bidding them farewell, they all glanced at each other. They saw the grim expression on his face and how he had left in a rush as though there was an emergency.

“Could something have happened to Little Junior Brother?” Somebody said. Everyone fell silent when they heard this.

After a long while, many people agreed with that statement. “That’s quite likely.”

However, this was just their speculation no matter what. For this reason, they quickly stopped discussing this matter.

If the Lord Vice Mansion Master or even the Lord Guardian heard their words, they would definitely be in trouble.

Zhao Deng searched carefully at the place where he pa.s.sed by. Soon after, he came across Zhao Dong and the others’ corpses.

Although he had already known about their deaths, he became even more enraged when he saw their bodies. “Ling Tian, our Zhao Clan won’t be able to live under the same sky as you! I swear I’m not human if I don’t kill you!”

Unfortunately, Duan Ling Tian was destined to be unaware of his rage. Even if he did, he would merely scoff at him.

They would not be able to live under the same sky? Previously, the Zhao Clan had already resolved to kill him. If that was not the case, why would so many people from the Zhao Clan come up with various ways to kill him?

“Ji’er…” Zhao Deng was in rush to find his son’s murderer and the cause of his son’s death so he continued to fly forth after glancing at Zhao Dong and the other’s bodies.

Not long after, he came across another body again.

“Who’s this woman?” The body Zhao Deng found belonged to Ouyang Ruo who was killed by the Devilseal Tablet! Although Zhao Deng did not know who she was, he still checked her body.

Zhao Deng could not help but gasp after he checked her body. It seemed like the cause of her death was due to her soul being directly destroyed. The person who killed her must be a powerhouse that specialized in Divine Consciousness attack!

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, whether it was Martial or Dao Cultivators, there was a minority of people who specialized in Divine Consciousness attack.

These people would attack with their Divine Consciousness and would usually be able to catch others unaware and kill them soundlessly.

Since it was only the corpse of someone he did not know, Zhao Deng ignored it and studied his surroundings. In the end, he managed to find something. He found traces of Zhao Ji fleeing! Naturally, he did not know it belonged to his son, Zhao Ji.

Although that was the case, he still followed the tracks.

After an hour, Zhao Deng finally found Zhao Ji’s body. Although he had killed many people before, his eyes welled up with tears when he saw his own son’s body. “Ji’er… Who’s it? Who killed you?!”

At this moment, Zhao Deng was on the verge of losing his sanity.

As time continued to pa.s.s, he finally came to terms with the fact that there was nothing he could do by acting this way. He calmed himself down and began to study his son’s body. As soon as he studied his son’s body, he found something strange.

He discovered there were no injuries on Zhao Ji’s body at all, not even a single bruise. “Ji’er doesn’t have any internal injuries either! He must’ve been killed by having his soul destroyed! Don’t tell me that he and the woman I saw earlier were killed by the same person? Who is it that wanted to kill my son?”

Zhao Deng almost lost his sanity again when he realized the tracks had stopped here.

He looked for clues carefully in the surroundings, but he did not find anything at all.

‘With Ji’er’s speed, he must have caught up to Ling Tian before he came here. However, up until now, I haven’t seen Ling Tian’s corpse. Maybe I’ll be able to find more clues if I continue following the direction Duan Ling Tian had headed in when he left the Mystical Sky Mansion,’ Zhao Deng thought to himself and continued in the direction Duan Ling Tian was heading.

Naturally, he had also kept Zhao Ji’s body in his Spatial Ring to safeguard it. At this moment, apart from uncontained rage, there was also sorrow on his face.

Due to Zhao Ji’s death, Zhao Deng left the Mystical Sky Mansion. After he put Zhao Ji’s body away, he continued in the direction where the Azure Cloud Mansion was located.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian who was making his way to the Azure Cloud Mansion was unaware of all this. Although that was the case, he was still very meticulous with his actions.

After he killed Zhao Ji, he changed into a set of grey robe. Moreover, he also changed his appearance again using the Disguising Secret Tactic. He currently looked very ordinary. Even if Duan Ling Tian’s mother, Li Rou, was standing in front of him, she might not even be able to recognize him, let alone other people.

“Huh?” After continuing on his journey for some time, Duan Ling Tian could clearly hear the swift sound of wind whistling behind him that was getting closer and closer. It was obvious it was a powerhouse who was in a hurry.

‘How fast! This person’s cultivation base has to be at the Mastery Divine Saint Stage at least!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he continued to move forward without looking back.

“Ling Tian!” At this moment, he heard a loud voice behind him. He could feel the aura that was directed at him.

‘Zhao Deng?’ Duan Ling Tian instantly guessed whose voice it belonged to. It was none other than Zhao Deng, one of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Mystical Sky Mansion!

He was not too surprised over Zhao Deng’s appearance at this place.

Since he had killed Zhao Ji, Zhao Deng would immediately learn of his son’s death as soon as his son’s Soul Pearl shattered. There was no doubt he would instantly leave the Mystical Sky Mansion to pursue him.

As for the powerhouse Gu Li had requested to monitor Zhao Deng, he might have helped Gu Li for Gu Li’s father’s sake, however, that did not mean he wanted to offend the other Guardian, Zhao Jin. After discovering that Zhao Ji, Zhao Jin’s only beloved grandson, had died, how could he be so daring as to stop Zhao Deng from leaving?

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised Zhao Deng had called out the name Ling Tian. Although he had changed his appearance, his silhouette from the back remained the same. Judging from his figure, it was still the same.

Duan Ling Tian instantly turned around and looked at Zhao Deng who was glaring at him with a confused expression. He feigned ignorance as he asked, “Senior, did you call for me?”

When Zhao Deng saw Duan Ling Tian’s current ordinary appearance, he frowned.

How was this possible? This person’s figure was almost identical to Ling Tian, how did he look so different? Why was he not Ling Tian? Impossible!

He extended his Divine Consciousness but could not find any trace of disguise on this person, causing him to feel greatly disappointed.

However, Zhao Deng ignored Duan Ling Tian’s question. With just a flash, he disappeared before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes.

When Duan Ling Tian saw this, he sighed in relief. His inner clothes were drenched in sweat as well.

‘It’s a good thing I know this Disguising Secret Tactic that’s undetectable by Divine Consciousness. Otherwise, I would’ve died today!’ When he thought of this, he felt he was really lucky.

‘Let’s continue on my journey… With my current speed, I should be able to arrive at the Azure Cloud Mansion in a few days!’ Duan Ling Tian continued moving the moment he thought of this.
