He had been raising Yang shi's name as a cover for the Library of Heaven's Path all this while. He thought that the other party was just an illusory figure, and at most, he could just use his clone to disguise himself. Who could have thought that the other party would actually exist? Furthermore, he was the grand elder of the Mingshi Tang headquarters, one of the strongest experts in the world!
It was already embarrassing enough for a real person to appear after disguising himself as a fake. Who could have thought that the imposter would actually be in the Zhang family!
If they were to meet, wouldn't the other party be exposed if he didn't admit that he was his disciple?
Before Zhang Xuan could say anything, Zhang Wuchen suddenly turned his gaze over with a deep frown on his forehead. "Yang shi?"
"It has been a long time since I last saw teacher. Hearing that teacher is here all of a sudden, I found it a little hard to believe. I hope that you can forgive me for forgetting myself …" Zhang Xuan hurriedly said.
Due to his shock, he addressed Zhang Xuan as' Yang shi 'instead of' teacher '. The other party had already noticed that something was amiss.
"Un. Yang shi has been in seclusion for half a year now. It has indeed been a long time since the two of you met …"
Hearing his words, Zhang Wuchen nodded.
"Teacher is in seclusion … Will it affect me if I look for him directly?"
After recovering from his shock, Zhang Xuan realized that something was amiss and turned to Zhang Xuan.
The other party knew that he was Yang shi's student, and that Yang shi was in seclusion. There were only two possibilities. First, he was intentionally trying to scare him. Second, Yang shi's seclusion was extremely urgent, so he couldn't come out.
If that was the case, it would be extremely beneficial to him.
"Yang shi did tell us not to disturb him before he went into seclusion. However, he should be coming out in a few days. If Zhang Shi isn't in a hurry to leave, you should be able to meet him!"
Zhang Wuchen said.
"I'm not in a hurry to leave …"
Nodding, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like he had to make good use of the time to compete in swordsmanship and find a way to force the young prodigy out. Otherwise, if Yang shi were to come out of seclusion and expose everything, he would be in deep trouble!
"May I know where teacher is in seclusion? Even if I can't disturb him, can I pay him a visit? Once he comes out, I'll be able to meet him … "
After pausing for a moment, Zhang Xuan asked.
First, he had to determine the other party's location. If it really didn't work out, he would immediately flee as soon as he saw the other party come out of seclusion.
"Only the First Elder knows where Yang shi is going into seclusion, so I'm not too sure either!"
Zhang Wuchen shook his head.
"You don't know?" Zhang Xuan pretended to be regretful as he rejoiced once more.
As the two of them spoke, the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin Beast completed their breakthroughs. Both of them were brimming with energy, ready to burst out at any moment.
Seeing the two Saint 9-dan beasts surrounding Zhang Xuan, the crowd couldn't help but raise their guard. Even Jian Qinsheng couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Even the deputy sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages was only at Saint 9-dan primary stage. Yet, a mere student of his actually tamed a Saint 9-dan primary stage and Saint 9-dan pinnacle saint beast … If he were to bring it back, no one would be able to subdue it.
With this kind of ability, no one would be able to say anything even if he were to become the substitute hall master.
Seeing that he was so skilled in beast taming and painting, as well as having unfathomable foresight, the young talents who were prepared to take him down a notch all hesitated.
Zhang Ziqing and Zhang Jiang were the top geniuses among them, but even they were unable to withstand a single blow from Zhang Xuan. If they were to challenge him, the gap between them and him would be even greater.
All of a sudden, no one dared to challenge him anymore.
With no one stepping forward, Zhang Xuan was able to relax.
He only had a single goal in mind, and that was to teach that young prodigy a lesson. Since the young man was too weak, he couldn't be bothered to make a move.
"Zhang Shi, this place is no longer suitable for living. It just so happens that I have some private residences back at my residence. May I know if you would like to follow me?"
Seeing how none of the geniuses dared to challenge Zhang Xuan, Zhang Wuchen sighed deeply and said.
"This …" Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I'll be troubling the Third Elder then."
With how the guest rooms had been reduced to such a state, they were indeed no longer suitable for living.
"Please follow me!"
The Third Elder nodded. He instructed Elder Wuzhen to send some men to repair the residences before leading the way.
Before leaving, Zhang Xuan explained the solution to the two spirit awakeners, and before the shocked gazes of the two Nine Star spirit awakeners, they followed behind him.
Not too long later, they arrived at the residence of the members of the Zhang family.
"Sword Saint Qinsheng, you'll be staying here for the time being. Once the guests are settled down, our clan will conduct a tournament. After that, we'll have a chance to interact with our friends!"
After landing on the ground, the Third Elder instructed with a smile.
"Yes!"
Jian Qinsheng nodded.
He had been to the Zhang family three times already, but this was his first time coming to the core area of the clan.
It could be said that he was taking advantage of Zhang Xuan's presence.
The spiritual energy here wasn't as concentrated as in the guest rooms, but it carried an aura that made one feel invigorated. It felt like cultivating here would allow one's mind to work faster and more efficiently.
"Zhang Shi, would you mind following me around?"
After settling Jian Qinsheng in, Zhang Wuchen turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
"I'm more than happy to accompany you!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
It was a good opportunity for him to visit the Zhang family so as to understand more about them so that he could prepare for the bridegroom.
In any case, he had the protection of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and the Inferno Qilin, so it was unlikely that the other party would do anything to him.
"This way, please!"
With a light smile, Zhang Wuchen led the way out of the residence. This time, he didn't fly but walked instead.
After a long journey, the sky had already darkened. Stars filled the sky, and a crescent moon emanated a brilliant glow, causing the air to feel a little chilly.
"May I know where Zhang Shi's family is? Is there anyone else in your family?"
Zhang Wuchen asked casually as the two of them walked in tandem.
"I'm an orphan. I don't know who my parents are," Zhang Xuan replied.
The person whom he had possessed didn't know who his parents were, so naturally, he wouldn't know either.
"It's good to be an orphan …" Zhang Wuchen remarked. Realizing that he had misspoken, he continued asking, "Since you're an orphan, do you know why your surname is Zhang? Who gave you that name? "
"This …" Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. "It has been too long, so I can't remember it!"
They were fused memories to begin with, so how could they know such minor details?
Based on the memories of his previous self, he had been hanging from a tree when he was very young. It was only after he was saved that he was given the name Zhang Xuan. As for why his surname was Zhang … he had no idea.
In any case, it was fine as long as it wasn't the Zhang of the Zhang family.
"You can't remember? It seems like Zhang Shi's family left quite early then … "Zhang Wuchen replied. Then, he suddenly chuckled softly and asked," Zhang Shi, how do you feel about the Zhang family? Are you interested in joining the Zhang family as a member? "
"Not at all!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Just the fact that they had despicably tried to kill him and force Lozosy to marry him was enough to make him detest them. To think that he would want to join them … Dream on!
"Ah …"
Zhang Wuchen didn't expect Zhang Xuan to reply so decisively and swiftly. Awkwardly, he was at a loss for words for a long time. Then, he looked ahead and heaved a sigh of relief. Raising his hand, he said, "We're here!"
"We're here? Where are we?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Raising his head, he saw two large words appearing before his eyes.
"Blood Lake!"
(Author's note: I recommend God Flying Fish's new book 《Legend of the Celestial Thearch》. Needless to say, the Fish God is the Celestial Thearch, and it's the most popular book on QQ right now. It's a combination of hot-bloodedness and elegance. It's definitely worth reading.)
