"This …"
Elder Ge and the young man widened their mouths in bewilderment.
The situation before them had far exceeded their imagination.
If Sun Qiang had Yang shi's blessing in his body, as long as his cultivation had not surpassed Yang shi's when he was alive, the memorial tablets would collapse as a sign of respect to the master teacher.
They knew very well how powerful Yang shi was, and there were few in the Sanctum of Sages who were a match for him. Under normal circumstances, more than half of them would collapse, leaving only the successive sanctum heads and a handful of experts alive.
But … instead of collapsing, the memorial tablets were destroyed. What in the world was going on?
Elder Ge and the others hurriedly turned their gazes to the front, only to see the memorial tablets exploding at an increasing rate. In just a few breaths, all of them had been reduced to dust.
"It's fortunate that the statues of the sanctum heads are still around …"
Seeing that the statues of Sage Kui and the others were still around, Elder Ge heaved a sigh of relief.
At the very least, the entire Sanctum of Sages had not been wiped out.
But before Elder Ge could finish his words, 'Kacha! Kacha! ' Following which, cracks began appearing on the ninth sanctum head's statue, and the cracks grew larger and larger. In just a breath's time, the ninth sanctum head had already collapsed to the ground.
Following which, the eighth sanctum head, the seventh sanctum head …
Even Ancient Sage Bo Shang was unable to hold on any longer, and his statue shattered into two. Only Kong Shi was left standing quietly on the spot.
Elder Ge and the young man were completely dumbfounded.
Every single one of the successive sanctum heads of the Sanctum of Sages had been top-notch geniuses in the world. Be it in terms of strength or insight, they had been on par with the grand elders of the Mingshi Tang headquarters.
This was especially so for Ancient Sage Bo Shang. As Kong Shi's direct disciple, his cultivation was unparalleled. Not a single one of the successive faction leaders of the Mingshi Tang headquarters had reached such a level … How could he possibly have acknowledged Yang shi to the point where his own statue would shatter?
When did Yang shi reach such a level?
If that was the case, as a member of the Sanctum of Sages, he should have known about it.
Not only were they dumbfounded, even the instigator of the matter, Sun Qiang, was completely bewildered.
He had thought that he would definitely be exposed this time and that he would be incomparably unlucky. Never in his dreams would he have thought that such an unforeseen event would occur!
The Old Master didn't leave any blessings in his body, but the Young Master did leave a few surges of zhenqi in his body so that he could save his life in times of danger … He thought that it wouldn't be of much use, so he just drove it casually. Who could have thought that it would cause so many tablets to explode?
It was as if he had seen someone he worshipped, and he did not dare to go against him.
It was too strange!
"You …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, Elder Ge suddenly turned to look at him, seemingly at a loss for words.
"Do you believe that I am currently … Yang shi's butler?"
Seeing the other party's shock, Sun Qiang heaved a sigh of relief.
"This …"
Elder Ge was just about to nod when another loud kacha sounded once more. The next moment, the statue of Kong Shi placed its hands together, as though performing the etiquette of an equal.
Huala!
Following which, cracks appeared on the statue as well, and it shattered on the spot. Following which, the entire Teacher Acknowledgement Hall shook violently as dust rose into the air. Piece by piece, the structure of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall crumbled.
Rumble!
In less than two breaths, it collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.
"What in the world is going on?"
Elder Ge and the young man stared at one another in frenzy.
They had brought that fellow over to verify whether Yang shi had left behind any blessings or not, but who could have thought that the entire Teacher Acknowledgement Hall would be destroyed just like that?
The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall harnessed the wills of the predecessors. Under normal circumstances, even if the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were to invade, it would be difficult for them to destroy the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall. Yet, with just a simple test, it was reduced to such a state …
You must be the King of Destruction!
"What's going on?"
Barely after Zhang Xuan emerged from the rubble, he heard a voice asking him a question. Following which, several figures rushed over. The one leading the group was an elder whose body was trembling uncontrollably, and his lips were quivering in disbelief.
He was the current deputy sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, Zhan Tiancheng.
"Zhan shi …"
Seeing that the deputy sanctum head had come over personally, Elder Ge hurriedly clasped his fist and recounted everything that had happened.
"To verify whether there are any blessings or not, the statue of Kong Shi bowed, and the other tablets shattered?"
Zhan shi and the other elders in the air looked as though they had seen a ghost.
To be able to make the statue of Kong Shi bow … You must be joking!
Was there anyone in the world who could possibly bear the courtesy of the World's Teacher?
"I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, we can repair the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall and have him give it a try!"
Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Elder Ge hurriedly said.
"The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall is tied to the wills of the predecessors. Without at least half a year's time, it will be difficult to repair it," Zhan shi said with a deep frown on his forehead.
Zhan shi shook his head with a deep frown on his forehead. "Why don't the few of us seal our cultivation and use some kind of detection technique to check on him? At the same time, we might be able to find out what's going on!"
Their strength was not beneath that of the predecessors, so they would be able to determine whether there were any blessings in Zhang Xuan's body or not. Through the same method, they would be able to figure out what was going on.
"That's a good idea!"
Elder Ge nodded.
"Let's begin!"
Zhan shi instructed. The remaining elders quickly surrounded Sun Qiang, and with a tap of their hands, a surge of energy shrouded Sun Qiang.
Hong long!
A burst of light burst forth from the bodies of the elders, and just like before, it formed a ring of light around Sun Qiang.
"I guess we can only continue driving the zhenqi that the Young Master has left behind …"
Seeing that the elders were still intending to examine Zhang Xuan's body, Sun Qiang shook his head helplessly before driving the zhenqi that the Young Master had left behind once more.
Padah!
With a dull thud, one of the elders plummeted from the sky, as if a noodle had been thrown into a pot of boiling water. It was as if he had seen something horrifying, and his legs went limp.
He turned to look at the other elder.
Paji!
That elder also plummeted from the sky.
"This …"
Sun Qiang scratched his head as he turned to look at the third elder.
Hu hu hu!
As he swept his gaze across the area, the elders in the sky began plummeting one after another. In the blink of an eye, only Zhan shi was left standing.
"You …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had turned his head around, Zhan shi could not help but shudder in fear. Just as he was about to speak, an imposing figure suddenly appeared before him. It was as if the figure had blocked out the entire world, but at the same time, it felt as if the figure itself was the world itself, representing the might of the heavens.
Padah!
Overwhelmed with shock, Zhan shi's zhenqi immediately came to a halt, and he plummeted from the sky as well. His head pierced into the ground, and his face was covered in dust.
Watching as the deputy sanctum head and the other elders plummeted from the sky, Elder Ge's teeth clattered in fear, not knowing what to say.
"Is the Young Master's zhenqi really that effective?"
While everyone was shocked, Sun Qiang's eyes lit up in excitement as he drove the zhenqi that the Young Master had left behind in his body once more.
Following which, he saw Zhan shi and the others lying on the ground convulsing uncontrollably. Every time he drove his zhenqi, they would convulse once more.
