"This is bad! That soul oracle is going to possess Zhang Shi!"
"Hurry up and stop it!"
Sensing that the Qingtian Emperor's soul was heading straight for Zhang Xuan, Wu Shi and the others narrowed their eyes in alarm, and they hurriedly made a move.
Even though the Qingtian Emperor's soul had undergone the lightning tribulation, it was still emanating a chilling aura. If one were to use their Spiritual Perception to scan it, it would be easy for them to notice its presence.
Hualala!
Overwhelming might fell like rain.
"Humph!"
The Qingtian Emperor narrowed his eyes in disdain.
The reason why Zhang Xuan had been beaten up so passively earlier was due to the other party possessing his physical body. As such, he had not dared to use his strongest attack. While these master teachers were not weak, they were still unable to stop him if he wanted to escape.
"Seal!"
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger in the air.
Huala!
A ripple of energy rippled into the surroundings, and the space within the underground chamber seemed to have been frozen by a powerful force. In the blink of an eye, everyone found themselves trapped in a swamp. Regardless of whether it was their movements or attacks, they were all severely restricted.
"It's a Leaving Aperture realm expert!"
Zhang Jiuxiao exclaimed anxiously.
To be able to exert such powerful might to seal the attacks of so many master teachers, the soul oracle had to have undergone the lightning tribulation, reaching the Leaving Aperture realm!
An expert of such caliber was not someone that could be defeated with numbers alone.
"Grand Roaming Dragon Formation!"
Knowing that the Qingtian Emperor would not be an easy opponent, Wu Shi bellowed.
The Grand Roaming Dragon Formation was a formation that every master teacher under Mingshi Tang of the Qingyuan Empire had cultivated in order to deal with dangerous situations.
Huala!
By the time Zhang Jiuxiao shouted, the formation had already been formed. With more than twenty master teachers forming the formation, the entire underground chamber was immediately filled with a powerful aura. With a light jolt, the seal that had sealed the underground chamber shattered as if a block of ice.
The seal of a Leaving Aperture realm cultivator was not the true seal of space. Rather, it was a technique to seal off one's surroundings.
Not expecting the master teachers to react so quickly, breaking through the formation in the blink of an eye, the Qingtian Emperor did not dare to hesitate any longer. His Primordial Spirit darted right up to Zhang Xuan and dived right into his glabella.
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he entered Zhang Xuan's body, the Qingtian Emperor burst into laughter.
Didn't you want to kill me?
Let's see how you'll kill me once I enter your body!
"Zhang Shi …"
Not expecting the soul oracle to really possess Zhang Xuan, the eyes of Wu Shi and the others reddened in agitation.
Even though they didn't know much about the soul oracles, they did know that once one was possessed, one's soul would be erased, and one would die for good!
While Zhang Shi was cultivating, he had so many people guarding him, but such a big problem still appeared. This was simply unforgivable!
Huala!
In an instant, they surrounded him, all of them brimming with killing intent.
"What? Do you want to fight? Come on! Let's kill this genius master teacher of yours first … "
Controlling Zhang Xuan's body, the Qingtian Emperor bellowed in excitement. However, before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had seen a ghost. "Ah … What is this? No … "
"Plop!" He lay on the ground, twitching non-stop. His blood-curdling screams soared into the sky.
"Huh?"
Wu Shi and the others, who were attacking, exchanged glances with one another, not knowing what to do.
It was just a moment ago that the other party was acting so arrogantly, so how did he end up like this in the blink of an eye?
"No, I won't possess your body anymore! Let me go … Let me go …"
Screaming in agony, the Qingtian Emperor's soul struggled frenziedly to break free from Zhang Xuan's body, only to realize that all of his acupoints had been sealed, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Don't kill me! I don't want to hurt you anymore! I really don't want to! Just let me go! I beg of you …"
Tzzzzzzz!
The screams grew louder and louder, and the Qingtian Emperor felt as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
His voice gradually grew fainter and fainter.
Hu!
The altar shimmered, and Zhang Xuan appeared once more.
The Qingtian Emperor was a powerful cultivator. If anything were to happen to him, he would be in deep trouble!
As soon as Zhang Xuan appeared, he was just about to look for the Qingtian Emperor when he suddenly saw a crowd of master teachers standing before him.
"Another one has come! Beat him to death!"
No one knew who shouted.
Before Zhang Xuan could even process what was going on, he suddenly felt a torrential might crushing down on him.
Even though the soul oracles who cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art didn't possess the cold attribute, their Spiritual Perception was still able to detect them.
Under normal circumstances, it was rare for one's Spiritual Perception to circulate constantly. As such, even if one were to leave discreetly, they wouldn't be noticed. However, the altar had activated once more, and with the precedent set by the soul oracles, their Spiritual Perception was already gathered here.
Pilipala!
The frenzied attacks swept toward Zhang Xuan, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
What was going on?
Why did so many master teachers suddenly appear when I was out for just a moment?
And why are they attacking me so ferociously?
Was he … insane?
Where is the Qingtian Emperor?
More importantly, he couldn't explain the matter at the moment. If he did, he would lose his identity as a soul oracle, and that would cause a huge uproar in the Mingshi Tang Empire.
Feeling so stifled that he could spurt blood, Zhang Xuan's body swiftly shrank once more, dodging the attacks of the crowd.
With a powerful leap, he dashed toward his physical body.
"You're courting death!"
"Kill him!"
Everyone was in a frenzy.
It was just a moment ago that they failed to protect Zhang Shi, allowing him to be possessed by a soul oracle. Who could have thought that the one who had just arrived would be even more brazen, daring to charge right at them? This was intolerable!
Hualala!
All kinds of attacks flew toward Zhang Xuan, completely blocking the area around him.
"…"
Zhang Xuan was on the verge of going berserk.
If I don't teach the Qingtian Emperor a lesson, why are these fellows so persistent?
"Ding Ding, come over!"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly called out to Jin Yuan Ding.
Since the other party had submitted to him, they could communicate telepathically.
"Master!"
Hearing the call, Jin Yuan Ding hurriedly flew into the air.
"Hurry up and send me over to the altar!"
The attacks of the crowd were too concentrated for Zhang Xuan to charge through, so he could only rely on the cauldron for help.
"Alright!"
Hu! The cauldron flew right up to Zhang Xuan's physical body.
"Everyone, get out of my way!"
Roaring furiously, it rammed right into Zhang Xuan's' corpse ', causing it to be sent flying forward.
Pilipala!
The sound of bones breaking could be heard.
"…" Zhang Xuan clutched his forehead.
Can't you be a little gentler?
He knew that Jin Yuan Ding was unreliable, but he didn't think that he would be this unreliable …
Zhang Xuan felt deeply stifled, but he knew that this wasn't the time for that. Thus, he dived into his body with his Primordial Spirit.
Driving his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan slowly recovered from his injuries before opening his eyes to look at the crowd.
"Did you notice the Qingtian Emperor's arrival earlier?"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, the crowd suddenly emanated a killing intent, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment.
"What are you up to?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you? Even if you possess Zhang Shi, do you think that you'll be able to get away? "
Wu Shi bellowed.
Through their Spiritual Perception, they had 'seen' with their own eyes how the soul oracle had dived into Zhang Shi's body and possessed him. That left them so furious that they could explode.
It was one thing for one soul oracle to possess Zhang Shi, but two in a row …
Do you think that our Mingshi Tang is a pushover? Do you think that Zhang Shi's body is a playground?
Knowing that the crowd was worried about him, Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "I am Zhang Xuan. I was cultivating a moment ago, and I just woke up."
"Do you think that we'll believe your words?"
Wu Shi shook his head.
The crowd also found it hard to believe.
You opened your eyes as soon as your Primordial Spirit entered Zhang Shi's body … How could that be possible?
"You don't believe me?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "Wu Shi, you used the seventh move of the Hexagram Swordsmanship against me earlier, and there are eight flaws in it. They are your sword qi, your aura, your strength, and your zhenqi …"
Knowing that it would be futile to explain himself, Zhang Xuan pointed out the flaws in his move.
Only master teachers possessed such an ability, so it was best to use it to prove one's strength.
"This …"
Hearing the other party pointing out the flaws in his body without any pause, Wu shi's body trembled uncontrollably.
"The final flaw is the damage to my soul caused by the demonic tune in the Qiu Wu Palace, and it hasn't fully recovered yet … Am I right?"
"Ah, yes …"
Wu Shi hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
"Then … Am I Zhang Xuan?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
"Yes …"
Wu Shi hurriedly nodded his head.
To be able to point out so many of his flaws, as well as the matter regarding the Qiu Wu Palace, there was no doubt that the other party was Zhang Shi.
"What happened? Why did you attack me? "
Seeing that the crowd had verified his identity, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he frowned doubtfully.
He had been careful enough, but he was discovered as soon as he appeared, and he was nearly beaten to death. Just what in the world happened?
"It's like this …"
Wu shi quickly recounted the events that had transpired earlier.
"You are saying that … a soul dived into my body, and after that … I kept screaming in agony?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in disbelief.
Was the Qingtian Emperor a fool? His body was filled with Heaven's Path zhenqi, the nemesis of souls. What was the difference between a sheep charging into a tiger's den?
He had thought that it would be difficult to capture him once he escaped, but who could have known that he would end up courting death instead?
It seems like he saw how I possessed his physical body, so he wanted to test mine as well …
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella in distress.
To think that the Emperor of the Qingtian Lineage, a Leaving Aperture realm expert, would actually commit such a foolish act. With this, he would probably be reduced to ashes by his Heaven's Path zhenqi, vanishing from the face of the world.
"I'm fine. I was cultivating some kind of unique cultivation technique earlier, so I lost my consciousness. If I'm not mistaken, the two souls that dived into my body have already been erased!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, not bothering to explain the matter.
"Yes!" Hearing those words, the crowd nodded without asking any further.
While others might be confused, Wu Shi knew full well what was going on.
As a Celestial Master Teacher, if one's physical body could be possessed so easily, Kong Shi would have long been dead. How could he possibly have become the World's Teacher?
"Thank you all for standing guard over me."
Knowing that the crowd was only acting so bravely for him, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist in gratitude.
"You're too polite, Zhang Shi!"
The crowd nodded in response.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to his body with a perplexed look on his face.
Even if the Qingtian Emperor had been killed by his Heaven's Path zhenqi, there should have been something left behind. It was impossible for there to be nothing at all!
"Hehe, are you looking for me?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was in the midst of looking into his body, an eerie voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
