Tang Zheng and Martial hurriedly looked over. There was chaos in front of them and a thick fog shrouded them, making it impossible to see the path ahead clearly.
"Something's strange." Duan Yan said.
Tang Zheng looked at Li Xiaotian. Li Xiaotian smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course not anyone can enter the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. I am a guest of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, so of course I have the authority."
After he finished speaking, he took out a token and pressed it against the whirlpool. The thick fog began to fluctuate violently, and not long after, a small path appeared beneath his feet.
"Do you dare to go in?" Li Xiaotian laughed mischievously.
Tang Zheng did not say a word and took the lead to walk in with large strides.
In fact, this was just a trick, a type of illusion technique. To Tang Zheng, it was not unfamiliar, and it was not that amazing.
The key was that Tang Zheng could not predict what kind of danger lay behind the fog.
But now that things had come to this, he had no way out. Even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, he still had to barge in.
Martial followed without hesitation.
The corner of Li Xiaotian's mouth hooked up into a meaningful smile, and followed behind the two of them.
Not long after, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and the scene in front of them suddenly opened up. A quiet village appeared in front of them.
Small bridges, flowing water, green grass, shady trees, blue sky and white clouds, it was as if they had traveled to an ancient paradise.
There was no hustle and bustle of modern society, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"This is the Imperial Tutor's Mansion?" Tang Zheng and Martial asked in astonishment.
"Welcome to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion." Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
Looking at the sparse houses, Tang Zheng became extremely alert and asked: "Where is the Imperial Tutor?"
Li Xiaotian pointed to the deepest part of the village and said: "That small wooden house."
Tang Zheng suppressed the emotions in his heart and walked over. Martial and Li Xiaotian also quickly followed.
Li Xiaotian rolled his eyes with suspicion and thought, "Why is it so quiet all around? There's not even a sound, and there's not even a shadow?"
She still remembered the various disciples of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion a few days ago, but today, these people seemed to have evaporated into thin air.
"Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary."
However, Li Xiaotian didn't say anything. He just silently followed Tang Zheng, ready to go.
The cabin was not far away, and it did not take long for the three of them to arrive in front of it. Tang Zheng subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
Circulating his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan focused his mind and held his breath. His perception increased rapidly.
Huh?
Someone.
A strong breathing sound entered his ears clearly.
"Be careful, there's someone!" Tang Zheng warned in a low voice.
Creak!
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door was pushed open and a person walked out leisurely.
The pupils of the three shrunk as they stared at this person. It was actually Junko who had used an escape technique to escape.
Junko's face had a playful expression as she swept a glance at the three of them and said, "Your speed is really fast. You've found this place so quickly."
With that, she coldly snorted and changed the topic. She stared at Li Xiaotian and meaningfully said, "You've really sold out our Imperial Preceptor's Mansion."
Li Xiaotian remained unmoved as he looked at Junko with a frown and remained silent.
Junko slightly turned her head and stared at Tang Zheng and said, "Are you really not afraid of death? Are those people that important to you? "
Tang Zheng coldly said, "Your scheme is very powerful. I actually watched as the Emperor's substitute died in your hands. But do you think this is the end? Your thinking is too simple. "
"Oh, do you think you can find out the whereabouts of those people by coming here? This is the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, not the Imperial Palace. Do you think you can do whatever you want here? "Junko disagreed as she jokingly said.
"Even if I know that this is a dragon's pool and tiger's den, I still have to barge in. Now you won't use an escape technique to escape, right?"
Junko's gaze was somewhat strange as she said, "You actually recognized my escape technique. You are indeed a powerful cultivator like the information stated."
"Since you know this, then hurry up and hand over those people."
Martial took a step forward and said, "If you don't hand them over, then I'll burn your Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to ruins just like the Imperial Palace."
Creak!
As if it heard the word 'fire', Xiao Bai came out from Tang Zheng's backpack and stood on his shoulder.
Junko's pupils shrank as she asked, "What kind of animal is this?"
Tang Zheng remained unmoved and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense. Hurry up and hand them over."
"I don't have anyone. But since you've delivered yourself to my door, of course you can't leave. Miss Li, I really have to thank you for leading them here. "Junko said with a smile.
Li Xiaotian's heart trembled as he suddenly realized, "So you knew that I was following you. You deliberately let me follow you and then led them here?"
"Hehe, if it wasn't for you how could they obediently enter the trap. This time it's really all thanks to you." Junko said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"You …" Li Xiaotian flew into a rage. He was actually used as a gun and he didn't even know about it.
This kind of situation had always been done by him to others. When had others ever done it to him? He was extremely angry but he forcefully suppressed his anger. He only stared at Junko like a tiger watching its prey.
"If you want to keep me, then you have to have the ability to do so." Tang Zheng was alarmed. It turned out that all of this was a trap set by the other party.
The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion's scheme was linked to one another. It was hard to guard against. Even someone as meticulous as Li Xiaotian was not able to see through it.
But at this juncture, he couldn't care less about whether or not it was a trap. Since he was in danger, he should make the first move to gain the upper hand.
Thus, before he finished speaking, Tang Zheng had already made the first move. With a 'shua' sound, the War Soul Sword pierced towards the opponent's chest.
Now that he was killing an enemy, he didn't show any mercy. The War Soul Sword's brilliant might caused people's hearts to tremble in fear.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew out from the wooden house.
Bang!
The gust of wind struck the War Soul Sword and Tang Zheng's attack collapsed. He staggered back a step and looked at the dim wooden house in shock.
"Who?"
This person actually escaped his perception. When he circulated his energy to sense again, he still found that the wooden house was empty.
However, it was clear that there was an expert hidden inside.
"Could it be the legendary Imperial Preceptor?"
Tang Zheng and Martial looked at each other, both of them guessing this point.
The Imperial Preceptor was one of the most mysterious people in the Island nation. He was also one of the most powerful people. Such an expert was actually living in seclusion in such a small wooden house.
Moreover, before he even saw Lu Shan's true face, Tang Zheng was already intimidated by the other party's casual counterattack.
"This person's strength is definitely something I've never seen before in my life." Tang Zheng came to a conclusion.
This Imperial Preceptor was undoubtedly an expert of the Grand Master Realm. As for what level of Grand Master he was, it was still impossible to determine.
However, Tang Zheng understood that if he was alone, he would definitely not be his match.
However, with the Four Symbols Venerable by his side, he was much more confident. He took a step forward and said, "Hiding your head and showing your tail, don't you dare to come out and see me?"
Junko mocked, "Who do you think you are? Is the Imperial Preceptor someone you can meet just because you want to?"
"Is that so? Then I'll tear down your little hut and see how you're going to hide. "Tang Zheng held onto the War Soul Sword with both hands and growled," Return to Origin! "
He immediately used the fifth move of the Heaven Flying Immortal, Return to Origin. This was already the pinnacle of the Heaven Flying Immortal Sword Technique that he cultivated.
In the blink of an eye, the War Soul Sword became ordinary and fell towards the small wooden hut.
Clang!
A clear and melodious sound came out from the small wooden hut, as if a sword had been unsheathed.
Tang Zheng's expression turned cold, but his Return to Origin sword move was not affected in the slightest.
"Whiz!"
With a sound of breaking through the air, a cold light shot out and struck the War Soul Sword.
Clang!
An intense spark flew in all directions, and the War Soul Sword could no longer fall any further.
Taking a closer look, what flew over was actually a sword, but the sword was already covered in dust and was dim. However, when facing the War Soul Sword, it was not at a disadvantage at all, and steadily stopped it.
Tang Zheng's eyes bulged, he took a deep breath and changed his sword move, the powerful and heavy Heaven Flying Immortal's fourth move, Heaven Falls Earth Rends was unleashed.
Clang!
The War Soul Sword fiercely slashed onto the Nameless Sword, causing it to tremble and fall to the ground with a 'pa da' sound.
Tang Zheng was shaken, the terrifying force that came from the Nameless Sword was truly not to be underestimated.
"Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve." Tang Zheng once again used his greatsword, determined to destroy the small wooden hut.
But just as he raised the War Soul Sword, three piercing sounds resounded through the clouds, and three cold beams of light flew over.
"Damn, why are there so many swords?" Tang Zheng thought that the sword just now was the other party's sword, but it was obvious that he was wrong.
The three arrows that flew over were all different. There were long swords, short swords, and heavy swords. It was impossible for a person to use so many swords.
However, the lethality of these three swords was extremely terrifying.
Left, middle, right, three directions firmly locked onto Tang Zheng, leaving him with nowhere to dodge.
Tang Zheng's expression was solemn, the War Soul Sword let out a clear sword cry, buzzing and trembling, as if it was excited to meet an expert.
"Break!"
Tang Zheng roared, and in the blink of an eye, he attacked three times.
Wind Rising Clouds Surging, Sword Breaking Thousand Catties, Lightning Sparks Flint.
Three Heaven Flying Immortals Sword Technique, three completely different offensive sword moves, yet they were perfectly fused together.
Ding Dingdang Dang!
Sparks flew in all directions, the three different swords were all knocked down, but Tang Zheng also staggered back, his arms trembling, and the War Soul Sword almost fell out of his hands.
Junko's face changed, she thought to herself, Tang Zheng is indeed powerful, to be able to receive two moves of the Imperial Master's four swords, but he did not suffer much damage.
But so what?
It was still impossible for him to be a match for the Imperial Master.
Junko was extremely confident, she stood at the door and looked at Tang Zheng in ridicule.
Tang Zheng's face turned pale white, Wu immediately asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
"The enemy is tricky, be careful later." Tang Zheng warned, and then patted Xiao Bai's head, "Xiao Bai, act according to the situation later, protect Wu well."
A gentle light flashed across Wu Wu's eyes, the words of rejection were about to come out of his mouth, but he swallowed them back down.
Li Xiaotian looked at the wooden hut with a complicated expression, not knowing what would happen next.
Tang Zheng took another step forward, preparing to launch another attack. No matter how powerful the opponent was, for the sake of the whereabouts of Wu Junshan and the rest, he had to give it his all.
