Rushing forward, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the First Elder's residence.
"How is it?"
The Grand Elder turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"No!"
Zhang Wuchen shook his head.
"No?"
"I've also tested his Primordial Spirit, but he was unable to retain the Quintessence Insight. This has nothing to do with the Zhang family!"
Zhang Wuchen explained in detail what had happened inside the cave.
"Looks like … I've been thinking too much!"
The First Elder shook his head as a cold glint flashed across his eyes. "Since there's no relationship between the two of you, send someone to challenge him in swordsmanship. Let him know that there's always someone stronger than him. Furthermore, since he had caused such a huge commotion, he had to give an explanation. He couldn't just leave as he pleased! Otherwise, where is our dignity? "
The entire guest room had collapsed, the statues of the predecessors were running around, and even the entrance array had been destroyed. If not for the fact that he was suspicious, how could he have allowed them to do as they pleased?
Otherwise, if everyone came to make trouble, the so-called number one clan would not exist.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Wuchen replied, "He has tamed the Inferno Qilin. I fear that … if we push him too far, something might happen!"
It would have been one thing if the other party was only a Grand Dominion realm cultivator, but the problem was that the other party had tamed the Inferno Qilin. Not to mention, that fellow had reached Saint 9-dan pinnacle. If the other party were to cause a ruckus, the Zhang Clan would still be able to suppress him, but they would have to pay a heavy price!
"It's simple. We'll have the clan's juniors suppress their cultivation and make a bet with him. Either they compensate him, or they stay in the Zhang family and serve him for the rest of their lives. How can they leave just like that? If we lose in a fair duel, it'll be easier for us to answer to Yang shi! "
The First Elder harrumphed coldly as he placed his hands behind his back.
Even though the Master Teacher Clans were very particular about rules and regulations, they weren't exactly benevolent either.
Putting aside the destroyed buildings, just the amount of manpower and resources they had spent on trapping this Saint Beast for the past three years was already unimaginable. How could they possibly give it away so casually?
Most importantly, the other party had come to challenge him!
To be honest, if not for the fact that Zhang Xuan was Yang shi's direct disciple, they would have already captured him and forced him to stay behind.
"Yes, who is the most suitable candidate?"
Zhang Wuchen nodded before turning to Zhang Xuan.
If a family wanted to develop and become the number one family, they had to have the means. This was something that couldn't be helped.
The First Elder pondered for a moment before replying, "Zhang Xu, Zhang Hen, and Zhang Qin should be fine as well. They have all comprehended Sword Quintessences, and they possess astounding strength. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for them to deal with a Grand Dominion realm lad!"
"Alright, I'll inform them in a moment to go and challenge them!"
Zhang Wuchen nodded before turning to Zhang Xuan. "What about the Clan Meeting? When will it be held? "
The purpose of this gathering was to prepare for the meeting. Now that almost everyone had arrived, they could begin the meeting.
"We'll begin as soon as the sun rises! You should know better than me about the marriage alliance with the Luo Clan. We can't afford to make any mistakes! "
The First Elder frowned as a glint flashed across his eyes.
"I know! It's just that … the young prodigy's whereabouts are still unknown … "
Zhang Wuchen looked worried.
"I've already said that we'll choose from within the clan. The champion of this tournament will replace the young prodigy and marry the little princess of the Luo clan. We can't delay any longer. Otherwise, who knows what kind of unforeseen events will occur?"
The Grand Elder said.
"I guess that's the only way …"
Nodding, Zhang Wuchen clasped his fist and bowed deeply. "I'll make the arrangements right away. However, it would be best for you to wait until after the tournament to challenge Zhang Xuan. Otherwise, it would be unfair to Zhang Xu and the others!"
"Yes!"
The Grand Elder nodded and fell silent.
…
While the discussion was going on, Zhang Xuan returned to his living quarters. As soon as he stepped into his room, he saw a figure walking up to him.
"Teacher …"
Zhang Jiuxiao clasped his fist.
"Why are you here?"
"Teacher caused such a huge commotion as soon as you arrived. I heard about it …"
Zhang Jiuxiao said with a bitter smile.
The teacher that he had just acknowledged was truly a high-profile person. He had caused such a huge commotion in the Zhang family as soon as he arrived. If not for the First Elder suppressing the commotion, someone would have already charged up to him and killed him.
"Why are you in such a hurry to hold the Clan Assembly?"
Not wanting to dwell on this topic, Zhang Xuan asked.
As soon as Lozosy said that the person she liked was him, they immediately held the Clan Assembly. It was hard for him to believe that they had nothing to do with it.
It was just that he couldn't help but wonder what the Zhang family was up to.
"I've already looked into it. There's only one purpose for this Clan Assembly, and that is to select a young man to marry into the Luo Clan!"
Zhang Jiuxiao nodded.
"Marry into the Luo Clan?"
Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched. Clenching his fists tightly, he asked, "Where's that young prodigy of yours?"
"It's said that the young prodigy has gone missing, and no one knows where he is. Now that the Luo Clan has decided to select the most outstanding prodigy in the clan to marry into the Luo Clan …" Zhang Jiuxiao revealed everything that he knew.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Xuan was so furious that he could explode.
Forcing the Luo Clan to marry into the Luo Clan was already despicable enough, but to think that they would just casually select the most outstanding prodigy …
Did they even consider the feelings of the Luo Clan and Lozosy at all?
"How can the Zhang family's Clan Assembly be so casual?"
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth as his body trembled in agitation.
For the number one Zhang Clan to agree to the marriage between the young prodigy and Lozosy, only to casually select a young prodigy to marry into the Luo Clan … If news of this were to spread, it would be ridiculous!
"It seems like there's no other way around it. I'm not too sure about the details, but I do know that this marriage is inevitable. No one can stop it! You should know that my strength is nothing in the clan, so it doesn't matter whether I participate or not … "
Zhang Jiuxiao said with a bitter smile.
He could be considered as a genius in Qingyuan Empire, but in the Zhang family, he was nothing at all. Any one of them could easily defeat him, and he wouldn't even have the strength to retaliate.
Thus, he would only participate in the Clan Assembly at most. He didn't think that he would be able to obtain a good ranking.
"When is the Clan Assembly going to be held?"
Zhang Xuan asked furiously as killing intent surged from his body.
"This … We haven't decided on the exact date yet, but if everything goes as planned, it should be held tomorrow!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's livid face, Zhang Jiuxiao hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Teacher, there will be plenty of experts in the Zhang family's Clan Assembly. You mustn't let your emotions get the better of you, or else … I fear that you'll be in deep trouble!"
He was well aware of the personality of the young man before him. The latter was a fearless person, and even now, he couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the commotion he had caused back in Qingyuan Empire.
If he really dared to wreak havoc in the Clan Assembly, he would be in deep trouble.
After all, the Zhang family wasn't the number one Sage Clan on the Master Teacher Continent. Even a Saint 9-dan pinnacle expert wouldn't be able to return alive.
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. The one who will cause trouble is you …"
Knowing what Zhang Jiuxiao was thinking, Zhang Xuan turned to him and said.
"Me?" Zhang Jiuxiao was taken aback.
"That's right. I want you to participate in the Clan Assembly and … become the champion!"
Zhang Xuan said with a glint in his eyes.
