To accept the ring, you need to drop blood to recognize the Lord in order to control the space inside and store items.

Generally speaking, if the owner takes the initiative to release the vows of the Lord, or the master dies, others cannot open it at all.

And now, the ring in Duan Lingtian's hand, which originally belonged to the young mansion master of Chongxiao Mansion, 'Xu Jing', just couldn't be opened.

In this way, there is only one possibility.

Xu Jing is not dead!

"Impossible!"

It's just that when this idea just arose, Duan Lingtian felt that it was impossible.

On that day, when he killed Xu Jing, he used the sword light condensed in the Ten Thousand Swords Realm, combined with the mystery of the second realm of the "Supreme Heart Sword" 'Sword Shadow with Your Heart', as well as the powerful physical power, to cast the strongest sword, directly penetrating Xu Jing's eyebrows.

The center of the eyebrows, the heart, is the death hole of human beings.

The heart dominates the body, and the eyebrows dominate the soul.

Piercing the center of the eyebrows is equivalent to crushing the soul, which is also the safest means of killing.

There is also a certain risk of attacking the heart, because some people have a long and biased heart.

And in the situation at that time, if Duan Ling Tian couldn't kill with one blow, Xu Jing would definitely admit defeat as soon as he came back to his senses.

Therefore, he did not target Xu Jing's heart, because he did not dare to bet.

Because of this, he chose the safest method, a sword pierced Xu Jing's eyebrows and crushed Xu Jing's soul.

"At that time, my divine sense also extended out to probe...... That Xu Jing's soul had clearly gradually dissipated as his corpse fell. According to common sense, the soul begins to dissipate, and there is no chance of survival...... But why can't he confess the Lord in his vows?"

Duan Lingtian's face was a little ugly.

Perhaps, there are a lot of good things in Xu Jing's ring, as well as the rings of Monk Hua, Jing Xuzi and Zhong Gu, but what Duan Lingtian is thinking about now is not taking out the things inside, but thinking about the reason why he can't recognize the lord of the ring.

Thinking about it, there is only one possibility:

Xu Jing is not dead!

"Fire Old. ”

Duan Lingtian, who didn't want to believe that Xu Jing was not dead, contacted the fire elder in the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda as soon as possible to ask the reason.

In his heyday, Huo Lao was a powerful presence in the Heavenly Plane, and he might be able to tell him something useful.

As Duan Ling Tian talked about what had happened, Huo Lao pondered for a moment and asked, "You said he was a demon cultivator?"

"Yes. ”

Duan Lingtian nodded, and then said, "I heard from others that Xu Jing was not a demon cultivator a year ago, and he was only in the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm...... A year later, he reappeared, not only did he become a demon cultivator, but his cultivation was also promoted to the 'peak of the Middle Saint Realm'!"

To be honest, Xu Jing's progress, even Duan Lingtian, was shocked.

You must know that even if he has the assistance of the Seven Treasure Linglong Pagoda, five days inside the Seven Treasure Linglong Pagoda is only equivalent to one day outside, and he is not sure that he will be able to cultivate from the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm in a year outside.

Just like before the start of the qualifying battle of "Rushing to the Sky", he stayed on the third layer of the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda for nearly four years, although part of the time was used to comprehend the "Supreme Heart Sword", but more time was spent on the improvement of cultivation, but it only stabilized the cultivation in the early stage of the Little Saint Realm and broke through to the middle stage of the Little Saint Realm.

Of course, the current Duan Ling Tian, although he was in the middle stage of the Little Saint Realm, was infinitely close to the middle stage of the Little Saint Realm.

In addition, his combat power can be compared to the peak of the ordinary Middle Saint Realm!

This can be seen from the fact that he can kill Xu Jing.

"In such a short period of time, I have gained such a great promotion, and I have become a demon cultivator...... I think that in the Demon Dao exercises he cultivated, there should be a record of the means of 'gathering souls'. ”

Huo Lao's voice soon came out.

"Gathering souls?"

Duan Lingtian's pupils shrank, and his face was shocked, it was the first time he had heard this term.

"Well, it's Soul Gathering. ”

Huo Lao responded, "In some clever Demon Dao Exercises and Taoist Immortal Methods, there are records of the means of 'gathering souls'...... Soul gathering refers to the ability to reunite the soul within a period of time when the soul is defeated. Of course, even if it is condensed, it will take a while to recover. ”

"So, he can come back from the dead?"

Duan Lingtian gasped.

"So to speak. ”

Huo Lao answered again.

Hearing Huo Lao's words, Duan Lingtian's face instantly became extremely ugly, "In this way, Xu Jing is not only not dead, but can also use the method of 'gathering souls' to recondense the defeated souls and come back to life?"

"How so!"

After muttering, Duan Lingtian's face twitched slightly.

He traveled thousands of miles to the Chongxiao Mansion region to participate in the "Chongxiao List" qualifying battle, just to kill Xu Jing and relieve Xue Nai.

I thought I had killed Xu Jing, but I didn't expect it to be this result.

"Now, Uncle Han also thinks that Xu Jing is dead...... If he knew that Xu Jing was not dead, he didn't know how disappointed he would be!"

As time passed, Duan Lingtian's face became more and more ugly.

Duan Lingtian, who originally planned to go to Han Xue Nai to report the good news, thought that Xu Jing was not dead yet, and did not go to Han Xue Nai again, but left the Bibo Han Mansion station alone.

Now he needs to be calm.

"Elder Huo, you just said that even if you use the means of gathering souls, it will take a while to recover your soul...... How long will it take?"

Duan Lingtian asked Huo Lao again.

"How long it will take depends on the soul gathering methods he masters, and the soul gathering methods are also divided into three, six, nine and so on...... However, even if it was the best soul gathering method I knew, if I wanted to reunite the soul at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm and be reborn, it would take at least a year and a half. ”

Huo Lao replied.

"A year and a half?"

When Duan Lingtian heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, what he was most worried about was that Xu Jing could be restored immediately, and then his marriage contract with Xue Nai would remain the same.

But now it seems that in a short period of time, he doesn't want to fulfill this marriage contract.

Duan Lingtian temporarily put his mind at ease.

"A year and a half...... It's still the best soul-gathering method that Huo Lao has ever seen! The method that Xu Jing has mastered should not be that strong, and it will take two or three years to say the least. ”

Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian became more and more relieved.

However, his gaze gradually became sharper, "Xu Jing, I really thought that you weren't dead yet...... However, if I can kill you once, I will naturally be able to kill you a second time! In two or three years, I will kill you like a dog!"

In this regard, Duan Lingtian was full of confidence in his heart.

Two or three years later, even if Xu Jing completely reunited his soul and was reborn, his cultivation would only remain at his previous peak.

Now, Duan Lingtian would be able to kill him.

In another two or three years, facing Xu Jing, whose cultivation had not changed, it would be easier for Duan Lingtian to kill him.

"At that time, I will at most use Li Feng's 'identity' to find an excuse to attack him...... said that I was not willing to kill him in the ranking battle of "Rushing to the Sky", there was a demonic obstacle in the heart of martial arts, and the road of martial arts was blocked, and I wanted to use his life to sweep away all the obstacles on the road! ”

Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian was completely relieved.

That Chongxiao Mansion, no matter what, will not associate 'Li Feng' with Bibo Han Mansion.

"In another month, it will be the day when Chongxiao Mansion will come to greet his relatives...... However, now that Xu Jing's soul is scattered and in a state of coma, it is impossible to marry Xue Nai no matter what. Within two or three years, Senai was safe. ”

At this thought, Duan Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, his trip to the Chongxiao Mansion region is not a trip in vain.

After thinking it through, Duan Lingtian went to find Han Xuenai.

"Brother Ling Tian!"

Seeing Duan Lingtian appear in front of her again, Han Xue Nai was naturally very surprised, and a smile bloomed on her originally melancholy face.

It's just that this smile is so bitter no matter how you look at it.

"Brother Ling Tian, where have you been this year?"

Han Xue Nai didn't wait for Duan Ling Tian to respond, and continued to ask.

"I went to the Chongxiao Mansion region. ”

Duan Lingtian said with a smile.

"Went to the Chongxiao Mansion region?"

When Han Xue Nai heard this, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and the three words 'Chongxiao Mansion' were tantamount to a spell to her.

A month later, she will marry to Chongxiao Mansion and marry that gentleman.

Seeing Xue Nai's face froze and a look of pain in his eyes, Duan Ling Tian immediately dispelled his thoughts of teasing her, and said bluntly: "Xue Nai, don't worry, in a month, that Chongxiao Mansion will not come to greet her...... The young mansion master of Chongxiao Mansion, 'Xu Jing', is already dead, and died in the ranking battle of "Chongxiao List". ”

The moment Duan Lingtian's words fell, Han Xue Nai was stunned, completely stunned.

The young lord of Chongxiao Mansion, 'Xu Jing', is dead?

Died in the ranking battle of "Rushing to the Sky"?

This news, for Han Xuenai, was tantamount to a bombshell, which made her heart tremble.

Her Ling Tian's brother's words, she naturally wouldn't doubt it.

Although, she didn't know who killed Xu Jing, but this surprise inevitably came too quickly!

Duan Lingtian looked at Han Xue Nai calmly, and the change in Han Xue Nai's face was taken in by him from beginning to end.

At first, it was stunned, then it was incredulous, and then it was surprise.

Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart, he didn't plan to tell Han Xue Nai the news that the young mansion master of Chongxiao Mansion, 'Xu Jing', was actually not dead, after all, the crisis in front of him had been temporarily lifted.

"Brother Ling Tian, his death ...... It's about you, isn't it?"

Although, Han Xue Nai also felt that her idea was a little whimsical, but she had a strong intuition, the death of 'Xu Jing', the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, was nine times out of ten related to her Ling Tian brother.

Calculate the time, the qualifying battle of "Rushing to the Sky" ended some time ago.

"Hmm. ”

For Han Xuenai, Duan Lingtian naturally had nothing to hide, and nodded, "A year ago, after I left Bibo Han Mansion, I went to the Chongxiao Mansion region, under the pseudonym 'Li Feng', and participated in the ranking battle of the "Chongxiao List...... In the qualifying battle of "Chongxiao List", I killed him! In this way, his death, it is impossible for Chongxiao Mansion to be linked to your Bibo Han Mansion. ”
