Rumble!
A powerful aura emanated from Zhang Xuan's body. It was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the sun and moon were sinking, and the entire world was gone.
Suppressed by the aura before him, the black-robed elder's body stiffened.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan felt as if he had seen a deity descending from the heavens, bringing with him an oppressive might that came from the depths of his soul. Not only was he unable to bring himself to make a move, his knees even turned to jelly, and he felt as if he would kneel down to the deity at any moment.
"You are … Yang shi? Wait, could it be a will left behind by Yang shi? "
His eyes narrowed as he instantly understood what was going on.
It was clearly Zhang Xuan from a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, his aura had grown so much stronger. There could only be one possibility … and that was that in order to protect his student, Yang shi had left a sliver of his will within Zhang Xuan's body to protect him.
"That's me! What, you want to make a move on my student? "
The appearance of the young man in the sky did not change at all, but his expression was like that of a completely different person. Be it his demeanor or his voice, they were completely different.
His eyes were cold and silent, as if he came from another world. Huge waves swept out, trapping the black-robed old man in a cage, not daring to move at all.
It was as if the slightest movement would cause them to be easily killed.
Even though he was a Saint 7-dan expert, one of the rarest experts on the Master Teacher Continent, he knew that his strength was nothing before the true pinnacle existences.
He was as weak as an ant.
Putting aside fighting and attacking, even a single thought from him would cause him to be obliterated on the spot, leaving nothing behind!
"Are you really … Yang shi?"
His body trembled, but the black-robed old man still had doubts, not daring to believe it.
He had met Yang shi before.
The voice was different, and the aura was also different. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out that it was the same person.
"Luo Chengxin, are you questioning me?"
The youth took a step forward.
Huala!
The air around him crackled, as if it were about to collapse. It was as if the power on his body was too great, and this part of the world couldn't bear it.
"Cheng Xin wouldn't dare …"
With a pale face, the black-robed elder hurriedly clasped his fist, not daring to breathe too loudly.
He had only ever felt such immense pressure from the old ancestor, so he didn't think that the young man before him would be able to wield it as well.
Most importantly, he had never said his name. The fact that the other party was able to say it out loud meant that they knew each other!
He also said that he was called Yang Xuan... Could he really be that person?
It was just that … he couldn't even be considered as an ant before the old ancestor. Even though he had met the old ancestor once, he didn't even have the chance to say his name out of fear of insulting the old ancestor's ears …
How could he possibly remember it and say it out loud?
"Don't dare? I think you're quite daring … "
The 'young man' was expressionless, completely different from how he was just now. He gave off a feeling that he was looking down on all living things, as if he was high up in the clouds.
"The Luo Family of the Sages have a powerful bloodline, and their [Great Void Silencer] technique is unprecedented. As a descendant of the Luo Clan, instead of cultivating properly, your body is in a mess. The Sanjiao Yin Meridian reverses Yin and Yang, causing your zhenqi to be impure and your strength to be abundant but not refined. The Primal Chaos Seven Acupoints are filled with turbid energy. Furthermore, three of your acupoints are inverted and two of them are hollow. The energy in the other two acupoints is strange and beyond what you can handle. "
"When your Primordial Spirit was breaching your Zhenqi Dominion, you resorted to trickery to damage your foundation, resulting in your Zhenqi being disrupted and your zhenqi dispersing … As a descendant of a Sage Clan, instead of dealing with these problems, you chose to bully my juniors. Do you think that you are strong?"
The 'young man' said with a voice reminiscent of thunder. "Do you want me to play with you?"
"I dare not …"
Luo Chengxin's body stiffened in fear, and his face paled in fright. As if his body had been nailed to the ground, he dared not move at all.
The Sanjiao Yin Meridian and Primal Chaos Seven Acupoints that the other party had mentioned … Had it been anyone else, they might not have been able to understand what he was talking about, but those words sounded like rumbling thunder in his ears, threatening to explode at any moment.
Those were the contents of their Luo Clan's [Great Void Silencer] technique.
The Luo Clan's bloodline possessed exceptional aptitude for spatial manipulation, and their heritage treasure, the Dimension Silencer, was a powerful artifact capable of sealing space.
It was for this reason that the Great Void Silencer was completely different from other cultivation techniques. The Sanjiao Yin Meridian and Primal Chaos Seven Acupoints … Those were the most confidential terms of the Great Void Silencer technique, such that only the core members of the Luo Clan would know of them.
Yet, the young man before him was able to point out the flaws in his cultivation technique so easily. This made his body shiver uncontrollably, and sweat trickled down his back nonstop.
If he had harbored any doubts about whether the other party was Yang shi or not, at this very moment, he no longer had the slightest bit of doubt.
Even if the other party wasn't Yang shi, there was no doubt that the other party was an expert on par with the old ancestor. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the other party to be able to see through the flaws in his cultivation technique with a single glance.
Even though he was an offspring of a Sage Clan and had received the guidance of powerful master teachers from a young age, due to the limitations of his bloodline and talent, it was inevitable for him to make some mistakes and flaws in his cultivation. While it did not affect his fighting prowess, it was impossible for him to reach higher realms.
But that was to be expected. If there were no flaws in one's cultivation, wouldn't it mean that there would be no bottlenecks in each cultivation realm? Wouldn't everyone be able to cultivate to the very pinnacle?
But … even if there were flaws in his cultivation technique, it was not something that ordinary people could see through. Yet, the other party was able to see through it with a single glance. Most likely, only a Nine Star master teacher would possess such eye of discernment!
"I dare not!"
Luo Chengxin's voice quivered, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Dare not? You sure are daring, aren't you? If the sliver of will I have left behind doesn't come out, are you intending to kill my student? "
The 'young man' looked at Luo Chengxin with a cold gaze, as if he would immediately kill the other party if he were to say anything wrong.
"I … I have no intention of making a move on Zhang Shi!"
Luo Chengxin swallowed a mouthful of saliva before hurriedly explaining himself. "I have watched the little princess grow up, and no matter how reckless I am, I wouldn't dare to harm the person she likes. Otherwise, she'll surely resent me for the rest of her life! The reason why I chose to look for Zhang Shi … is to convince him not to get too deeply involved in the matter so as to not upset the little princess … "
"Are you saying that my student isn't worthy of your Luo Clan?"
The voice sounded once more, and this time, it was laced with killing intent.
"That's not what I mean!"
Luo Chengxin shuddered for a moment before hurriedly explaining himself. "Yang shi, you should be aware of the rules of our clan as well. There's no way we can change the engagement between the little princess and the Zhang family … Rather than letting the both of them get hurt, it's better for us to make a swift decision and let it go before they get too deeply involved!"
"There's no way we can change the engagement? Is it because of your Luo Clan or the Zhang family? If it's the latter, I'll look for their old ancestor and have a good talk with him! "
The 'young man' said with narrowed eyes.
Luo Chengxin shook his head. "The engagement between the two clans was set twenty years ago. The little princess is also a victim, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"Set twenty years ago? What's going on? "
The young man frowned.
"I believe that Yang shi should have heard of the prodigy of the Zhang family as well. Even before he was born, it was already determined that he possessed the purest bloodline. He was born twenty years ago, and the sky was filled with crimson clouds and sacred light. Kong Shi's memorial tablet floated in the air. Back then, the old ancestor of the Zhang family looked for our old ancestor and set up the engagement. "
Luo Chengxin continued, "The third month of next year …"
"The third month of next year?"
The face of the 'young man' darkened. With a voice as cold as ice, he asked, "Does the engagement require an auspicious date?"
"It's not an auspicious date. If I recall correctly, it's related to a huge matter. The old ancestor has issued a strict decree, and no one dares to defy him …"
Luo Chengxin shook his head with a bitter smile. "Due to this matter, the little princess caused a huge ruckus in the clan for a very long time. In the end, the clan head was so angry that he sealed her cultivation. However, the little princess has a very stubborn temper, and she sneaked out of the clan. I only found her not too long ago, and I realized that she was already deeply in love with Zhang Shi. That's why I tried to stop her! "
"A huge matter?"
"I don't think I'm qualified to know the details. I only overheard it by accident. After all, our Luo Clan isn't weak either, so there's no need for us to fawn on the Zhang family. If not for some special reason, we wouldn't have agreed to such an impolite request," Luo Chengxin said.
"Since the engagement has been set since young, why would the little princess want to quarrel with her clan? Why doesn't she want to marry the prodigy of the Zhang family? "
The 'young man' asked doubtfully.
The engagement had been set since young, and the two of them belonged to two powerful clans. Logically speaking, the two of them should have been childhood sweethearts. Yet, the young man rejected the proposal and even went to the extent of falling out with his clan.
Luo Chengxin glanced at the 'young man' in bewilderment. Why would a person of Yang shi's caliber suddenly be so interested in the affairs of a young lady?
However, he did not dare to question the young man's words. "The prodigy of the Zhang family is extremely peculiar. Not long after he was born, he went into seclusion. For the past twenty years, he hasn't appeared at all, and he hasn't even been to the Sanctum of Sages …
"Even our old ancestor has never seen him in person. It's said that he's currently receiving some kind of unique heritage, so it's inconvenient for him to meet others. The little princess has never met her fiancé before, so she doesn't know what he looks like or what kind of personality he has.
"She hasn't appeared before?"
The 'young man' frowned.
To take the initiative to get engaged, but the Zhang family could not even bring out their fiancé … and the number one Sage Clan of the Master Teacher Continent …
The Zhang family sure was bizarre.
"Indeed. In any case, there are all sorts of rumors going around about the prodigy of the Zhang family, but in truth, he doesn't possess such incredible talent. There are also some who say that he failed to awaken his talent, and out of fear that he would embarrass the Zhang family, he chose to hide himself from the world.
"There are even some who say that he went missing right after he was born, and no one knows where he went. Over the years, the Zhang family has sent countless people to search for him, but they were all unable to find him. In any case, no one has ever seen that prodigy before, and no one knows where he is either …"
Luo Chengxin sighed.
Speaking of which, the little princess was also someone who had lived a difficult life.
She had to bear the responsibility of the clan from birth, marrying a person whom she had never met before. Anyone in her position would have felt extremely rebellious.
"The Zhang family sure is the number one Sage Clan in the Master Teacher Continent …" the 'young man' harrumphed coldly.
The 'young man' narrowed his eyes coldly.
He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen one as shameless as this.
"And that prodigy … I'll teach him a lesson in the future so that he knows how to behave!"
