As Yi Tianyun laughed uncontrollably, the others exchanged worried glances, suspecting he had gone mad from his cultivation.
"Grandpa, should we go check on him?" Mu Xian’Er asked, a little worried.
"Well... it’s fine. He’s probably just a bit excited from his training," the Great Elder said, stopping them. "The Mansion Master’s situation is beyond our comprehension. To have reached such a level at his young age, he must be extraordinary. We should just watch from a distance."
Yi Tianyun paid their gazes no mind, his attention completely focused on the Ice Divine Bow. ’This is a pretty amazing weapon. At least this draw wasn’t a waste.’
After the lottery draw, Yi Tianyun opened his status window. All his information was quickly listed out.

"What? One hundred million Experience?!"
When Yi Tianyun saw his attribute bar, he was completely dumbfounded. The one hundred million Experience Value requirent was especially glaring. Before, at the peak of the Spirit Pill Stage, it was only a little over sixty million. The mont he reached the Core Transformation Stage, it had leaped to one hundred million!
Leveling up was already difficult with over fifty million, and now it was a full one hundred million. Even if he could earn a million Experience Value per kill, he would still need to kill a hundred enemies to level up. It was a terrifying thought. ’Thankfully, I have a good number of Experience Cards. If there are enough Demon Beasts, I should still be able to gain a level.’
He felt a sense of helplessness but could only take things one step at a ti. No new quests had popped up recently. The fact that one didn’t appear now ant the current situation didn’t et the conditions for a quest trigger.
After the lottery draw, he had nothing else to do but wait for the next day.
「The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.」
The night passed uneventfully. However, they weren’t released. They were forced to remain in their rooms. This continued for two days. Many began to wonder what was going on. Why weren’t they allowed to leave? ’Hasn’t Cheng Fen rested enough yet?’
They had been promised fine hospitality, but instead, they were all locked in their rooms, forbidden to even walk around outside. The more perceptive among them had already slled trouble and felt that sothing was very strange.
「Finally, on the third day...」
They were quickly summoned to the palace. Every guard wore a solemn expression, watching them coldly as they entered. When they were all gathered, it was not Cheng Fen who greeted them, but another minister who must have rushed over.
"Keeping all of you in your rooms for several days was a lapse on the part of our Netherworld Empire, but sothing very serious has happened!" Lin Hao’s aura erupted. He was at the seventh layer of the Core Transformation Stage, two full layers stronger than Cheng Fen, and his presence instantly swept over the entire hall.
Although many of the Mansion Masters were also at the Core Transformation Stage, they still felt imnse pressure under his aura. As a minister of the Empire, his abilities were naturally not to be underestimated. Even if cultivators were at the sa level, the power they could release would differ based on the Martial Arts they practiced.
Lin Hao’s words made many people’s eyes flicker. ’So he’s finally getting to the point.’ They had sensed sothing was amiss before; otherwise, they would never have been confined to their rooms for so long. They had been cooped up for days. As distinguished Mansion Masters, being held like prisoners without being able to leave was quite humiliating.
"I believe you have all sensed that sothing is wrong. I will be direct with you all. Our minister, Cheng Fen, has been assassinated by an unknown assailant!" Lin Hao’s voice was cold to the extre, and it felt as if the temperature in the palace had suddenly dropped several degrees.
In fact, it truly had. A frigid qi emanated from his body, causing the temperature throughout the great hall to plumt. It was obvious that he was a powerful expert who cultivated the Ice Attribute, capable of freezing everything!
As soon as this news broke, the entire hall erupted in an uproar. Many revealed looks of horror. This was Cheng Fen, a Core Transformation Stage expert, gone just like that? More importantly, he was a minister of the Netherworld Empire. Who would dare to assassinate him?
"Th-this..." The Great Elder and the others turned in horror to look at the impassive Yi Tianyun. A suspicion imdiately ford in their minds. ’Could it be that when Yi Tianyun went out that night... it was to assassinate Cheng Fen?!’
’Cheng Fen was at the Core Transformation Stage, and he was killed just like that? Doesn’t that an Yi Tianyun’s cultivation level is even higher than Cheng Fen’s?’
However, they quickly composed themselves and stopped looking at Yi Tianyun. They absolutely could not give anything away. If anyone else found out, their Celestial Extre Mansion would be finished. Killing a minister of the Netherworld Empire ant that any sect, no matter which, would suffer the full wrath of the Empire!
At the sa ti, the color drained from Yu Shiqian’s face. She rembered the man in black from that night. ’Could he be...’
"Sister, what’s wrong?" Zhao Yu asked, seeing her pale expression.
"N-nothing, I was just thinking about sothing. Who could be so powerful as to dare kill even Lord Cheng..." Yu Shiqian didn’t voice her true thoughts. She was already too embarrassed to speak of how the man had taken liberties with her, and given the gravity of the situation, she was even less likely to say anything now.
Nan Fengyun’s expression also changed. He had a good relationship with Cheng Fen, so how could he just be dead all of a sudden? He had spent a fortune to get on Cheng Fen’s good side, but now he was unexpectedly dead. Who would look out for the Divine Rune Mansion now?
’What exchange with Spirit Race experts? That’s all just smoke in the wind now.’
Lin Hao scanned their expressions and said coldly, "I don’t know if Lord Cheng’s death is related to any of you. According to our investigation, none of you left your rooms. On the surface, it seems you are not involved. However, your cultivation levels are not low. It wouldn’t be difficult for you to slip out undetected!"
The faces of the various Mansion Masters paled. ’Is this new minister planning to extract a confession through torture?’
"Rest assured, I am rely speculating. I an nothing else by it," Lin Hao said in a deep voice. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If I discover even the slightest clue, the perpetrator will face the full wrath of our Netherworld Empire!"
