"Pu!"
Spurting a mouthful of blood, Song shi's body swayed weakly, and he fainted.
For a quasi 8-star master teacher to come to the weakest Conferred Empire of the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan thought that he should bring absolute authority with him.
Yet, not only did all of the master teachers disobey him, they even ended up being crippled by a cauldron. What was even more infuriating was that the other party even pretended to be innocent …
Even though your actions of offering pointers to the cauldron are minimal, as a combatant and a quasi 8-star master teacher, I am still able to see through it easily.
You were the one who guided the weapon to pummel me, and yet, you pretended to be ignorant. This has nothing to do with you …
Can you be any more shameless?
Tsk?
Tsk your head!
Even though I'm crippled, it's still better than nothing!
Seeing that the other party had fainted, Zhang Xuan shook his head. He put away his dagger and pinched Song shi's philtrum to wake him up. After which, he turned to Jin Yuan Ding and bellowed with a livid expression, "How dare you! Hurry up and apologize!"
"Yes!"
Jin Yuan Ding's plump body walked over like a duck. With a sincere look on his face, he said, "Song shi, I apologize for my wrongdoings. Why don't I let you kick me a few times?"
After saying those words, he spread open the cauldron's legs.
"Pu!"
Yet another mouthful of blood spurted from Song shi's mouth.
What the heck do you have to let me kick you?
Besides, I am a quasi 8-star master teacher. To have my vitals kicked and then have someone else kick me … Do you still have any dignity left?
"Zhang Xuan, how dare you break into a prison and ignore the rules of the Master Teacher Pavilion? You have no respect for your elders, and you even used a weapon to attack me.
With a savage look on his face, Song shi shook off Zhang Xuan's support.
"Report it?"
"That's right!" Song shi gritted his teeth.
"Alright then. Jin Yuan Ding, I'll leave Song shi to you. Take good care of him! "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Alright!" Filled with excitement, Jin Yuan Ding raised his thick cauldron leg, seemingly ready to kick out again at any moment.
"You …" Song shi subconsciously took two steps back. He was just about to drive his zhenqi to put up a desperate fight against Zhang Xuan when the roar of a saint beast suddenly echoed in the sky. Following which, he saw a fiery cloud flying over from afar.
"It's a Saint 6-dan saint beast, the Firecloud Saint Bird!"
Song shi narrowed his eyes in astonishment. A thought suddenly struck him, and he exclaimed in agitation, "That's … Yao shi from the Empire Alliance!"
"Yao shi Tian?" Zhang Xuan frowned as he activated his Eye of Insight to peer in the direction of the fire cloud.
Standing on the back of this Flaming Cloud Saint Bird was a woman in her forties. She was dressed in plain clothes, and her appearance couldn't be considered too beautiful. In fact, she was quite lacking when compared to Wei Ranxue. However, her temperament was elegant, and she gave off an otherworldly feeling. She was like a fairy.
This was especially so for the great teacher emblem in front of his chest. There were eight stars shining brightly, and under the illumination of the sun, it was extremely dazzling.
"8-star master teacher?"
She was actually an 8-star master teacher!
In other words, even at the very least, her cultivation had reached Saint 6-dan Grand Dominion realm, making her an invincible expert!
Amidst Zhang Xuan's shock, the Flaming Cloud Saint Bird had already arrived above his head. Following which, Yao shi leaped down from the back of the beast and began walking down slowly.
"I am an 8-star low-tier master teacher from the Empire Alliance, Yao shi. On orders from the headquarters, I am here to investigate the death of Pavilion Master Gou. Is Vice Pavilion Master Wu of the Qingyuan Empire around?"
Before he could even get close, the elegant voice rang out.
"You are here to investigate the death of Pavilion Master Gou?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before realization struck him.
Back when he had successfully crashed the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion, Pavilion Master Gou had requested the headquarters to dispatch a quasi 8-star master teacher, Song shi, to investigate the matter. However, Pavilion Master Gou had died along with several other Seven Star master teachers, and as the implications of the matter were too great, Wu Shi had requested for Pavilion Master Gou's assistance as well.
This time, the Qianchong Empire had no choice but to report the matter to the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion and request for Yao shi's assistance.
Due to the time difference, the aerial saint beasts that the two of them were riding on were traveling at an incredible speed, surpassing the range of communication through ordinary Communication Jade Tokens. As such, they were unaware that Yao shi was coming.
"Qianchong Empire Seven Star Master Teacher Song shi pays respect to Yao shi!"
Song shi stepped forward and clasped his fist.
Quasi 8-star master teacher was just a term that the populace used to refer to experts as a form of respect and reverence. In truth, he was still considered a Seven Star master teacher.
"I met you when I went to the Qianchong Empire Master Teacher Pavilion to conduct a lecture."
Yao shi turned around and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing here? The injuries on your body … "
With her eye of discernment, she could immediately tell that the other party was injured at his crotch.
How could a quasi 8-star master teacher, a Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle expert, be injured there?
"Reporting to Yao shi, I am here on orders from the headquarters to investigate the matter of the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion crashing, but as soon as I arrived, I discovered that not only have Pavilion Master Gou and Vice Pavilion Master Tian been murdered, even the emperor, Chu Tianxing, has been killed. The murderer has escaped, but his accomplice didn't manage to escape. According to the rules of Mingshi Tang, he was executed on the spot. Who could have thought that not only did Zhang Xuan, Zhang Shi, disregard the rules of the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion, he even abducted Chu Tianxing and severely injured me? "
Song shi swiftly recounted the matter to Yao shi. "Yao shi, I beseech you to redress my grievances!"
"Abducted Chu Tianxing? Injured you? "
Yao shi turned to Zhang Xuan with a frown. "You are Zhang Xuan? Is he speaking the truth? "
"I was the one who abducted Chu Tianxing, and the one who injured him was my weapon, Jin Yuan Ding!" Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
With so many people witnessing the matter, there was no use denying it. Thus, he might as well admit to it.
"Regardless of Song shi's identity, he is still a representative of the headquarters. Do you know how serious the crime is for you to disobey the orders of the envoy and assault Chu Tianxing? "
Yao shi asked.
She had heard that Zhang Xuan was the young man who had successfully crashed the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion.
To be able to challenge the entire Mingshi Tang Empire Master Teacher Pavilion at such a young age, it was hard to imagine how talented he was.
As long as he didn't die, he would surely have a bright future ahead of him. Since that was the case, why would he commit such an unwise act and ruin his own future?
"Reporting to Yao shi, this matter has grave implications. As a Seven Star master teacher, it goes without saying that I know what the crime is, but I did it out of desperation. I didn't want our Mingshi Tang Empire to be deceived and mocked by others!"
Zhang Xuan bowed deeply.
"Deceived?"
Yao shi was perplexed.
"That's right!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "Vice Pavilion Master Tian is an Otherworldly Demon. He is the reincarnation of the Qingtian Emperor of the Qingtian Lineage, and his very nature is that of an Otherworldly Demon. He colluded with Zhong Qingwang and the Qingyuan Emperor Chu Tianxing to undermine the stability of mankind … "
Zhang Xuan swiftly went through the matter regarding Tian Qing and the Otherworldly Demons.
However, he omitted the part regarding Vicious.
"This …"
After hearing Zhang Xuan's explanation, Yao shi could not help but ask, "This matter has grave implications. Do you have any proof?"
This matter involved a vice pavilion master and the emperor of a Conferred Empire. If something were to go wrong, the reputation of the entire Mingshi Tang Empire would fall into the gutter.
"Wu Shi and the others have already reported this matter to the alliance branch. If Yao shi doesn't believe me, you can contact them. We have the corpse of the Qingtian Emperor as proof, "Zhang Xuan said.
Even though the Qingtian Emperor and Tian Qing were dead, as long as the Mingshi Tang Empire branch wanted to investigate the matter, they would still be able to find out the truth.
Seeing how confident Zhang Xuan was, Yao shi nodded. "I'll contact the headquarters to look into this matter. I'll give you a clear answer on the matter. However, even if there is a problem with Chu Tianxing, I'll have to report this matter to the headquarters first so that Mingshi Tang Empire branch can deal with it. Your student killed Chu Tianxing and colluded with the poison masters to poison the entire royal palace … While Song shi's decision to execute Chu Tianxing might be a little biased, it's still to appease the hearts of the people. Aren't you being a little too disrespectful by charging over and injuring him with a weapon? "
Mingshi Tang's goal was to appease the hearts of mankind.
Sun Qiang and the others had poisoned an entire royal palace and killed an emperor. Even if they had killed a traitor of mankind, it was still a violation of the rules.
It was just like how a murderer had to be punished by the law. No matter how much one hated the murderer, one couldn't make a move personally, or else one would have committed a crime.
That was exactly what they were doing at the moment.
Even though killing Chu Tianxing was a good deed, it was still against the rules. In order to appease the hearts of the people, even though it was a little biased to execute him, it wasn't a big deal. Yet, as a Seven Star master teacher, you actually charged over and pummeled the envoy of the Qingtian Empire branch.
"Yao shi, that Zhang Xuan is too arrogant. Not only is he disrespectful, he has no regard for the rules set by Mingshi Tang at all. We have to punish him severely, or else how can we appease the masses?"
Hearing Yao shi speaking up for him, Song shi gritted his teeth.
If his identity as a man was crippled, he would surely find it irreconcilable.
"Shut up!"
But before Song shi could finish his words, Zhang Xuan's face suddenly darkened.
"You …"
Song shi nearly exploded on the spot.
"Yao shi didn't give you permission to speak, so how dare you interrupt me? How dare you interject before an 8-star master teacher? Is this what you call disrespectful? "
Zhang Xuan interjected with a wave of his hand.
"I …" Song shi's face paled.
It was indeed disrespectful of him to interject before Yao shi had given him permission to speak.
Seeing that Song shi had nothing to say, Zhang Xuan decided to ignore him. Clasping his fist, he said, "Yao shi, this matter isn't as Song shi has said. There's more to it than meets the eye!"
"Song shi, you said that Sun Qiang colluded with the poison masters of the Poison Temple to assault Royal City, but the truth is that Elder Xu You and the others are no longer poison masters of the Poison Temple but combat masters of the Combat Master Hall!"
"Combat masters?"
"Indeed. Elder Xu You and the others used to be poison masters, but due to their benevolence, they have already been recruited by the Qingyuan Empire Combat Master Hall. This matter has already been reported to the headquarters of the Combat Master Hall, and the new Progeny of Combat has already given his approval.
You can look into this matter, "Zhang Xuan said righteously.
The Progeny of Combat was Zheng Yang, so it was only a matter of a single word from him. Besides, Elder Xu You and the others had indeed been recruited by the Combat Master Hall, and they had already received their approval.
They were no longer poison masters but true combat masters of the Combat Master Hall!
"Oh?"
Yao shi turned to Song shi and asked, "Song shi, have you looked into this matter yet?"
"I … It's true that they have joined the Combat Master Hall, but a leopard cannot change its spots. The fact that they have secretly forged poison is proof of that …"
Song shi replied with a reddened face.
He knew that the other party had been recruited into the Combat Master Hall, but he didn't think too much of it.
"A leopard cannot change its spots? To think that a master teacher would say such words. Song shi, if you have been sucking on your mother's milk when you were young, are you still sucking on your mother's milk now? "
Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves coldly.
(I would like to continue recommending Laoya's old book, 'Boundless Dantian'. It's the pinnacle of 'The Reincarnation of the Strong', and it's already finished. Also, it's already the end of the month. Do you still have a monthly pass?)
