Chapter 1766: Ku Mi’s Visit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples, they could only enter the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone once at most in their entire lives.

This was because the interval between the openings of the Saint Martial Secret Zone was very long. It was impossible for a Saint Stage disciple below the age of forty to enter it twice or more.

It was exactly because of this, Zhao Deng really wished his son would be able to find a high-grade Divine Ability Relic in the Saint Martial Secret Zone and memorize the Divine Ability contained in it so that he would be able to comprehend it in the future when he had broken through to the Divine Saint Stage. At that time, his son would be able to rise to the top and stand a chance in becoming the next Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion.

However, when he heard Qian Ping Sheng’s words, he became anxious immediately.

With the enmity between Ling Tian and his son, Ling Tian would definitely not show any mercy if he met his son in the Saint Martial Secret Zone. Moreover, he might even kill his son immediately.

If his son was killed, although it was not a real death, he would be eliminated and sent out of the Saint Martial Secret Zone. He would then lose the chance to memorize and comprehend the Divine Ability contained in a high-grade Divine Ability Relic.

This was not something he was willing to see.

Due to this reason, Zhao Deng’s expression turned grim. He said through clenched teeth, “If he dares to interfere with my son memorizing the Divine Ability Relic due to personal enmity, my Zhao Clan will never let him go!”

At this moment, Zhao Deng had lost his composure a little. It was as though he had forgotten Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, was just next to him.

“Hurmph!” As expected, the moment Zhao Deng’s words left his mouth, Meng Qing snorted as his sharp gaze instantly shifted to Zhao Deng. “Vice Mansion Master Zhao, don’t forget the rules Mystical Sky Mansion has set for the Saint Martial Secret Zone. Killing one another is allowed inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone since nobody knows what’s actually going on inside.”

After all, nobody knew if there was a third person present on the scene when two people were fighting inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

Under such circumstances, even if one was not eliminated by his opponent, he might slander another person after being eliminated from the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

Although the person being slandered could swear on the lightning penalty oath, it was still considered a humiliating matter.

Since being killed in the Saint Martial Secret Zone would not result in real deaths, whether it was the Mystical Sky Mansion or other quasi third-rate forces, all of them allowed killings of people in the same sect inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

The person who was eliminated could only blame himself for not being as powerful as the others since those who were eliminated were usually on the weaker side. Someone like that had a much slimmer chance to break through to the Divine Saint Stage and successfully comprehend the Divine Ability contained in a high-grade Divine Ability Relic.

“I’m sorry, Lord Mansion Master, it was an inappropriate remark.” Upon hearing Meng Qing’s stern words, Zhao Deng regained his senses immediately. He broke out in cold sweat and quickly explained himself, “Even if my good-for-nothing son is really killed by Ling Tian and is eliminated by the Saint Martial Secret Zone, I can only blame him for being weak. My Zhao clan won’t hold a grudge over this, let alone make a move on him!”

“I hope you mean what you said.” Meng Qing glanced at Zhao Deng indifferently making the latter feel ill at ease.

Three months were nothing but just a blink of an eye for the high-ranking officials of Mystical Sky Mansion present on the scene. For this reason, they were in no hurry to leave. Instead, they sat cross-legged in the sky and closed their eyes to attain mental composure while waiting for the Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples to come out from the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

In just a blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, no Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples were eliminated from the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

“Lord Mansion Master!” At this moment, a voice resonated from afar. After a while, an ancient figure appeared. It was an elder of Mystical Sky Mansion.

This Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder was an elder who was in charge of patrolling the Main Mansion during this period of time. It had to be important for him to appear at this time looking for the Mansion Master.

For this reason, apart from Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Manson, the group of high-ranking officials opened their eyes one after another and looked at the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder, causing him to feel slightly anxious.

Although he was an elder of Mystical Sky Mansion, the person with the highest position among the group in front of him, apart from Gu Li, was the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion.

He did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of these people.

Under the stares of the Mystical Sky Mansion’s high-ranking officials, this Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder quickly looked at Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, and responded respectfully, “Lord Mansion Master, somebody from the Azure Cloud Mansion is here.”

“Azure Cloud Mansion?” Upon hearing the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder’s words, Meng Qing was not the only one who raised a brow. The others widened their eyes as well.

The Azure Cloud Mansion was a quasi third-rate force like their Mystical Sky Mansion.

Perhaps the Azure Cloud Mansion’s strength was similar to the Mystical Sky Mansion in the past. However, the Azure Cloud Mansion’s current strength was far superior to them. Not only that, but they could even be considered as on par with the Mountainshade Black Market.

All of this was because a new Mansion Master who was monstrously strong had appeared in the Azure Cloud Mansion.

Under the leadership of the new Mansion Master, the Azure Cloud Mansion rose to the top. Currently, it’s strength was in no way inferior to the Mountainshade Black Market.

Ever since the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion appeared, nobody from the Azure Cloud Mansion had taken the initiative to visit the Mystical Sky Mansion at all. Due to this reason, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s high-ranking officials, including Meng Qing the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, found it strange that someone from the Azure Cloud Mansion would suddenly pay them a visit.

Meng Qing looked at the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder who came to report this and asked in a deep voice, “Who’s the one who came?”

“It’s Ku Mi.” When the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder mentioned Ku Mi’s name, his voice trembled slightly.

Ku Mi!

Upon hearing the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder’s words, apart from Meng Qing who had a slight frown on his face, horror dawned on the others one by one.

Ku Mi was someone with a notorious reputation in the Azure Cloud Mansion. He was known as the Azure Profound Heroic Duo along with another powerful figure from the Azure Cloud Mansion. He was also the right arm of the current Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.

In terms of strength, Ku Mi and Rong Yuan from the Azure Cloud Mansion were in no way inferior to the two great Guardians of the Mystical Sky Mansion. In fact, they might even be stronger.

Since Ku Mi had personally paid a visit to the Mystical Sky Mansion, there was no way it was an ordinary visit. It had to be because of some important matter.

It was not difficult for Meng Qing and the others to come to this conclusion.

“Go and invite him here,” Meng Qing ordered as he looked at the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder who came here to report the matter.

If it was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion who personally came, Meng Qing would have personally welcomed him.

However, since the person who came was Ku Mi, he was still not worthy of the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion to personally welcome him.

“Yes,” the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder responded before he left.

After he left, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters present on the scene, other than Meng Qing and Gu Li, buried their heads together to discuss the matter.

“Ku Mi from the Azure Cloud Mansion is quite fierce. Why did he come to our Mystical Sky Mansion?”

“In the Azure Cloud Mansion, Ku Mi and Rong Yuan’s positions are equivalent to our Mystical Sky Mansion’s two great Guardians. It has to be some important matter for him to visit our Mystical Sky Mansion.”

“Our Mystical Sky Mansion doesn’t interact much with the Azure Cloud Mansion usually. I wonder what he’s here for?”

While they were discussing the matter, hints of dread could be seen in the eyes of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Mystical Sky Mansion.

Even Zhu Lu Qi, the Palace Master of Heaven Palace, the strongest among them, was wary when he spoke about Ku Mi.

Despite being in the same generation as Ku Mi, even he could not help but shudder when he recalled the other person’s notorious reputation.

In the Mystical Sky Mansion, it was very likely that only the Mansion Master would be able to overpower Ku Mi.

Soon after, the Mystical Sky Mansion’s elder returned with a skinny old man who was dressed entirely in a black robe.

The temperature seemed to drop in the wake of the black-robed old man.

Other than Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, the others felt chills running up their spines when they saw the black-robed old man. The subtle pressure the black-robed old man emitted was just too heavy for them. It was so heavy that they could barely endure it.

“I’m Ku Mi. Good day to you, Mansion Master Meng.” The black-robed old man cupped his hands in front of his chest slightly toward Meng Qing as he nodded his head indifferently as a greeting.

Meng Qing’s eyes flashed momentarily when he saw the black-robed old man and exclaimed in surprise, “Elder Ku, your prowess seems to have improved a lot compared to the last time we met.”

“Don’t joke with this old man, Mansion Master Meng. Even if I managed to improve in these few years, I’m still far from being your match, Mansion Master Meng.” The black-robed old man was none other than the Azure Cloud Mansion’s Ku Mi. Although he was just standing there, he gave off an intimidating aura.

Only Meng Qing was able to ignore the aura.

“I wonder what’s the purpose of your visit, Elder Ku?” Meng Qing asked with a smile.

He did not think too much of Ku Mi if it was just him alone. However, he did not dare to simply offend the Azure Cloud Mansion even though he had the powerful Mystical Sky Mansion behind him.

For this reason, he was polite and respectful when he spoke to Ku Mi. He did not dare to be negligent at all.

Ku Mi did not beat around the bush as he said bluntly, “Mansion Master Meng, I know you’re a straightforward person so I won’t beat around the bush. The purpose I came this time is to take a look at a new disciple the Mystical Sky Mansion has recently recruited.”

“New disciple?” The moment Ku Mi’s words left his mouth, Meng Qing and the others were stunned for a moment. After a while, a figure emerged in their minds at the same time.

The owner of that figure was none other than Duan Ling Tian.

Naturally, Meng Qing and the others only knew him as Ling Tian.

“Ku Mi, you came here for Ling Tian?” Meng Qing asked bluntly.

“Yes.” Ku Mi nodded.

“May I know why you came for Ling Tian, Ku Mi?” Meng Qing asked again.

Actually, Meng Qing also knew his questions was a little unnecessary. Since the other party was the right arm of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, the reason he came to the Mystical Sky Mansion to look for Ling Tian was to snatch Ling Tian away and take him back to the Azure Cloud Mansion.
