"I don't care who your master is. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner! Take him away! "
Song shi waved his hand grandly, not giving Sun Qiang a chance to refute.
Sun Qiang was just about to say something when an invisible force sealed his cultivation, preventing him from saying anything at all. Following which, two master teachers walked up to him and took him away.
"Wuuuu …"
Even though Sun Qiang was on the verge of exploding, there was nothing he could do about it.
He was the butler of the Old Master, and yet a mere quasi 8-star master teacher dared to treat him in such a manner.
"Capture all of the poison masters who are spreading the poison and keep a close eye on them. Make sure that they don't escape!"
Paying no heed to the furious plump man, Song shi continued issuing instructions.
Soon, Mingshi Tang mobilized all of his subordinates, and half a day later, Elder Xu and the others were locked up in the prison once more.
Following which, they continued their search, but even after flipping through the entire Qingyuan City, they were still unable to find Liu Yang. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
…
Oblivious to the happenings here, Zhang Xuan was staring at the massive human face in front of him.
"It's indeed a good idea to have Chu Tianxing invite Liu Yang over and imprison him to threaten me … However, there's something that I don't understand. Why would Chu Tianxing, as the emperor of the Qingyuan Empire, pledge his loyalty to you?"
In truth, not only was Zhang Xuan perplexed by this matter, even the master teachers present were perplexed by it.
Chu Tianxing was the esteemed emperor of the Qingyuan Empire, so why would he betray Mingshi Tang and betray mankind to collude with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
One must know that if this matter were to be uncovered, Chu Tianxing would surely be executed on the spot.
"Why?"
Vicious sneered coldly. "You'll have to ask Mingshi Tang yourself!"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"As the emperor of the Qingyuan Empire, he should be the one to command the entire world … But with Mingshi Tang around, what does he amount to? No matter what he does, he has to submit to your whims. To be honest, I've had enough of that! "
Vicious harrumphed. "With this inner demon under my control, do you think that it'll be difficult for me to tame him?"
"This …"
Zhang Xuan froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.
The other party was right.
To be able to become the monarch of a country, one had to be a man of great talent and bold vision. Such a person would have to be restricted by the Great Hall of Fame no matter what he did. It was as if there was a sword hanging on his neck, ready to be cut down at any moment.
He was clearly the emperor, but he had to listen to the orders of another … His dissatisfaction grew, and eventually, he found it hard to control it.
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Chu Tianxing could only see his authority being suppressed, but he had never considered the fact that if not for Mingshi Tang, the Qingyuan Empire would have long been conquered by the other empires or destroyed by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Without the skin, where would the hair attach itself to?
Without Mingshi Tang, how could there be a prosperous empire?
However, as simple as Chu Tianxing had made it sound, Zhang Xuan knew that the truth was far more complicated than that. The reason why Chu Tianxing had chosen to go down the wrong path was because he had gone through some sort of ordeal that had eventually turned into an inner demon that he was unable to get rid of. That was the reason why the Qingtian Emperor and Vicious had made use of him, resulting in such a huge mistake.
"Alright, there's a limit to my patience. Give me an answer as soon as possible, or else not only will your students and kin die here, all of you, including you, will die here as well!"
Unable to be bothered to waste any more time on words, Vicious roared once more.
A powerful gust of wind blew down from the sky, causing the crowd to stagger unsteadily. They were unable to retaliate at all.
"As much as I dote on my students, using them as a hostage to force me to submit to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … You are still thinking too lightly of me!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head as his voice grew louder and louder. "As a master teacher, I should set an example for my students and teach them. If I were to surrender, how could I educate my students better? How could I be a better teacher? I have already imparted to them what I should be imparting to them … If they are still unable to discern right from wrong and end up getting harmed instead, it can only mean that they are still lacking in their skills! Even if they are killed, there's nothing they can do about it … "
Even though he did not wish for anything to happen to his students, as a teacher, he was unwilling to set a bad example and lead his students down the wrong path.
If that was the case, what would be the difference between being alive and being dead?
There were things that humans should do, and things that they shouldn't!
Otherwise, how would they be any different from animals?
This was his determination, and it was also the determination that a master teacher should have!
"Very well. Since that's the case, you can all die now!"
Seeing how the other party remained unmoved even after using the other party's students as a hostage, Vicious knew that it would be impossible for him to subdue the other party. Thus, without any hesitation, he roared furiously.
Hong long!
A powerful might burst forth. Wu Shi and Hall Master Xing's faces reddened, and fresh blood spurted from their mouths.
The other party's strength far surpassed theirs, and there was no way they could withstand it at all.
"Zhang Shi, hurry up and leave!"
Wu Shi bellowed furiously. "There's no need to leave.
He's stalling for time, but I'm doing the same as well! "
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he turned to the massive face before him and said, "Do you think that you have already won?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Seeing that there wasn't the slightest worry or fear on the other party's face, Vicious' eyebrows shot up as an ominous premonition surfaced in his heart.
"It's nothing much. You are trying to gain full control over the island, and the reason why I'm saying so much to you is to stall for time."
Zhang Xuan replied calmly.
If not for the fact that he was trying to stall for time, even if he had doubts in his heart, there was no need for him to waste so much time talking to the other party!
"Stall for time? What's the point of stalling for time? Stop trying to bluff! "
Vicious sneered.
The Qingtian Emperor had spent countless celestial designers and blacksmiths to forge this head, and he had paid a huge price in order to gain full control over it. Even though his cultivation was only at Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle, even a Grand Dominion realm expert would find it hard to stand against him!
Those fellows were only at Leaving Aperture realm primary stage or intermediate stage. What was the point of waiting for so long?
Death would be the only outcome for them!
"Of course it's useful … Alright, I won't waste any more time with you. It has already been so long, so why aren't you coming out yet?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to waste his breath anymore. His bewitching voice echoed in the surroundings.
Hearing those words, the crowd hurriedly turned their gazes to the surroundings, only to find that there was not a single soul to be seen.
"I thought that you had some helpers, but it turns out that you're just bluffing!"
Vicious sneered.
This fellow had already used this trick once before, causing the Qingtian Emperor to be pierced through his anus, and now, he was trying to bluff again!
If he really had a helper, he would have already arrived. Why would he wait for a while?
"Die!"
Vicious harrumphed coldly once more as a powerful might descended from the sky.
However, before it could descend, the crowd saw the giant head in the sky shake uncontrollably for a moment.
Following which, the entire island began trembling uncontrollably.
"What's going on? W-what did you do? "
Vicious narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
"It's nothing much. I just … enchanted the spirit of this island!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
Back when he was at the lowest level of the island with his clone, he had used the Library of Heaven's Path to check on the walls in the surroundings.
To his astonishment, he realized that the entire island was a single entity.
After learning all of this, he began to map out the path that he had taken, so how could he possibly not understand what was going on?
Thus, he spent two hours to enchant the spirit of this celestial designer artifact.
His movements were extremely discreet, and Vicious' will was still trapped by the altar back then, so he didn't notice it.
Afterward, he released Vicious' will to buy time so that he could spread it across the entire island and gain control over the head!
Naturally, Zhang Xuan was more than happy to see the other party stall for time. After all, the more he fused with the island, the more he would fuse with the spirit that he had enchanted.
By then, just like Hall Master Xing and Zhang Jiuxiao, it would be nigh impossible for them to separate from one another.
"Enchantment? Enchantment such a huge island? "
Vicious shrieked in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
He knew that even a Nine Star spirit awakener would only be able to enchant swords, cauldrons, and the like. Furthermore, every enchantment would require a long period of rest.
The puppet that the celestial designer artifact had forged had a diameter of two to three kilometers … How many times would it take to enchant a spirit artifact like that?
How could anyone possibly do it?
"It seems like the Qingtian Emperor didn't inform you of the matter regarding the Spirit Awakener Guild …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had been worried that the Qingtian Emperor would take precautions against him once he learned that he had enchanted the Spirit Awakener Guild, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like he had been worrying too much!
The Qingtian Emperor and the Vicious before him were completely different from one another. It would have been a miracle if the Qingtian Emperor had told him of such crucial information!
This was good as well. If the Qingtian Emperor was caught off guard, he would be able to succeed.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been that easy for him to succeed.
"So what if you've enchanted me? I can still kill you!"
Vile bellowed furiously as his floating head struggled to return to the young man before him. However, the young man simply shook his head and raised his palm. "Hahaha!" Vile roared madly as his head struggled to return to the young man before him.
"Seethe … Spirit!"
Hong long!
As soon as those words were spoken, the island in the shape of a human face suddenly seemed to be welcoming spring. In the blink of an eye, innumerable plants sprouted all over the island.
Cacti, foxtail grass, all kinds of flowers … There were so many of them that it was impossible to count them all.
"Ahhh!"
Due to the interference of the spirit, Vicious' will began to fall into disarray. It was as if he was suffering from a split personality disorder.
"This …"
Looking at Vicious once more, Wu Shi, Hall Master Xing, and the others gulped down mouthfuls of saliva.
Spirit awakeners had always been synonymous with weak fighting prowess. They had never thought that they could be used in such a manner!
Given the current circumstances, it should have been impossible for him to defeat the Otherworldly Demon before him. Yet … the Otherworldly Demon's mind had fallen into a state of chaos due to the means of a spirit awakener, threatening to collapse at any moment.
"Do you think that you can assimilate me with just this spirit? It's just an ordinary spirit. I can still kill you after destroying it! "
The floating head roared once more.
No matter how powerful the other party's spirit enchantment ability was, it was only an ordinary spirit. At the very most, it could only render him incapable of controlling the island for a short period of time. However, given Vicious' strength, he could easily wipe the other party out.
"You are indeed capable of destroying it, but …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "You won't have the chance to do so anymore …"
Hu!
A book materialized in Zhang Xuan's hand. Vaguely, there was a finger and a heart drawn on it.
