"Mistress?"
Zhang Jiuxiao was stunned.
He had long heard of the reputation of the little princess of the Luo Clan, and he had always intended to marry the young prodigy of his clan. Who could have thought that his teacher would actually be the one who had snatched the opportunity from him?
No wonder the little princess said that there was someone she liked. No wonder the moment the teacher arrived, he tore apart the house and caused a huge commotion. He was also quite critical of the Zhang family and even beat them up when they first met …
After all this fuss, this was the reason!
"Teacher, don't worry. Since she's your wife, I wouldn't dare to overstep my boundaries even if I was beaten to death!" Coming to a realization, Zhang Xuan hurriedly clasped his fist.
A teacher for a day, a father for life. His teacher was his father, and his teacher's wife was his mother. A marriage alliance … even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare!
"Just remember!"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Feeling even more dizzy than before, he staggered to his feet. He was just about to say something when he suddenly sensed something. Flicking his wrist, he took out a token.
The Palace Master's Order.
At this moment, the token was emitting a faint light, as if something had been activated.
Zhang Xuan had only encountered such a situation once before. It had happened after he had become an 8-star master teacher. Could it be that he had successfully unlocked the second seal?
Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan saw the Hall Master Token glowing brightly, and he could vaguely sense a powerful aura emanating from it.
"There are three conditions to activate the Sanctum Head Token. Firstly, one has to become an 8-star master teacher. Secondly, one's cultivation has to reach Saint 8-dan … Even though I haven't made a breakthrough yet, my fighting prowess and comprehension of spatial laws have already reached a level where even a Saint 8-dan expert might not necessarily be a match for me. Thus, the Sanctum Head Token deemed me to have cleared the second condition and unsealed the seal on me …"
Soon, Zhang Xuan understood.
Even though the requirements of the Sanctum Head Token were strict, it wasn't easy to verify one's strength. This was especially so for someone like Zhang Xuan, who had cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art, allowing him to easily surpass his cultivation realm. Naturally, he would meet the requirements.
"Let's see what's under the second seal …"
The last time he unsealed it, his control over it had increased, and it had become a super weapon. Unsealing it a second time might also have other effects.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over, and a message swiftly entered his mind.
"This …"
After reading the message, Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
He thought that once the second seal was undone, the Sanctum Head Token would become even more powerful, allowing him to resolve his current predicament. Who could have thought that that would be the case?
Hidden beneath the second seal was a Teleportation Formation that would teleport him to the secret realm left behind by the Sanctum Head of the Sanctum of Sages. That secret realm contained the heritage of the Divine Eyes of the Ninth Netherworld, as well as the cultivation experience left behind by the predecessors.
It was indeed very beneficial for him to unlock the third seal, but it wasn't very useful for him right now.
If he didn't increase his strength, he wouldn't be able to contend against the First Elder. Thus, the matter of the Zhang family wouldn't be easy to resolve.
Besides, the Teleportation Formation was a single-use Teleportation Formation. It would lose its effectiveness after a single teleportation. Even if he wanted to head over, he would have to make sufficient preparations first. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to compile the Heaven's Path Divine Art within the Teleportation Formation. Wouldn't that be equivalent to wasting his time?
More importantly, his soul and physical body weren't compatible at the moment, and he was still feeling a little light-headed. Even if he were to head over, it would be futile!
Boom! Boom!
Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, a deafening sonic boom suddenly jolted him back to reality. Raising his head, he saw the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin in the midst of their battle with the First Elder.
As powerful as the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin were, they were still far from matching up to the head of the Zhang family.
If not for the fact that the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was constantly being struck by lightning, it would have long been defeated.
"The lightning tribulation won't be able to hold on for much longer either …"
Zhang Xuan raised his head to look at Zhang Xuan, but he shook his head once more.
The sea of lightning in the sky had already been depleted after his frenzied absorption of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and the relentless release of its energy.
From the looks of it, it would only take a few more strikes before it was completely depleted.
Xiong xiong!
At this moment, the Inferno Qilin was infuriated. Flames burned furiously around its body as it sent out countless Inferno Qilin, burning the entire sky and the ground. The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast made use of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. With the two Inferno Qilin beasts working together, even a Nine Stars master teacher would be hard-pressed to deal with them. However, the First Elder didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he sent out palm after palm strike to seal the surrounding space, nullifying their attacks.
As the threat of the lightning bolts gradually diminished, the First Elder was able to exert greater and greater strength. Previously, the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin were still able to hold the upper hand, but at this very moment, they were already on the verge of collapsing.
"Master, we aren't a match for them. We should think of a way to leave this place."
The Inferno Qilin sent a telepathic message over.
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
Even though the First Elder was much stronger than him, it was still apparent that it was only a matter of time before the two Inferno Qilin beasts were defeated. The First Elder was determined to kill him, so once he dealt with the Inferno Qilin and Inferno Qilin, he would surely make a move on him.
"Alright, let's get ready to leave then."
Zhang Xuan replied as he leaped forward. However, before he could get far, his body suddenly froze, and he plummeted to the ground.
"Teacher!"
Zhang Jiuxiao hurriedly rushed forward.
"I'm fine," Zhang Xuan replied as he rubbed his head.
From the looks of it, it would be nigh impossible for him to leave this place if he didn't resolve the compatibility issue between his soul and physical body.
Suppressing the dizziness in his head, Zhang Xuan raised his head once more, only to see that the First Elder was even closer to him. The lightning bolts in the sky had already depleted all of their energy, and they were already starting to dissipate.
"Scram!"
Without the threat of the lightning bolts, the First Elder heaved a sigh of relief. Gathering his strength to the maximum, he bellowed furiously as he launched a series of palm strikes.
Boom! Boom!
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin were struck by the palm strikes, and they were sent flying, crashing into the ground and creating massive craters.
"Zhang Xuan, it's time for you to die!"
After defeating the two Inferno Qilin and Inferno Qilin, the First Elder roared furiously as he flicked his finger, and a burst of sword qi shot right toward Zhang Xuan.
Weng!
Before the burst of sword qi could reach Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan took out a token and blocked it like a shield.
Knowing that it was impossible for him to withstand the attack in his current state, Zhang Xuan tossed the Sanctum Head Token over.
"First Elder, I am an 8-star master teacher appointed by the Mingshi Tang Empire. Are you intending to kill me?"
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.
"Master teacher? Do you think that you are worthy of being called a master teacher? "
Upon hearing those words, the First Elder felt as if he would explode on the spot.
You are just a soul oracle! How did you become a master teacher? Yet, you still have the cheek to say that?
I have to report this matter to the Mingshi Tang Empire and have them investigate this matter!
"Die!"
Unable to be bothered to say anything else, the First Elder's palm struck down once more.
Hu!
With no one in control of the Sanctum Head Token anymore, it was sent flying back. Following which, a powerful palm strike came crashing down on Zhang Xuan, threatening to flatten him into a meat patty.
"You …"
Not expecting the other party to be so insistent on killing him, Zhang Xuan felt his head spinning. Unable to retaliate, he flicked his finger.
Hong long!
A massive head appeared before his eyes, and it smashed down on the First Elder.
With just a single strike, the First Elder was smashed into the ground, pinning him firmly beneath.
Even though Vicious' head wasn't even on par with a Saint 8-dan cultivator, its sudden appearance was still too powerful. On top of that, the First Elder had already sustained some injuries from the battle with the lightning tribulation and the two saint beasts. As such, he was unable to extricate himself for the time being.
"Teacher …"
Not expecting their teacher and the First Elder to fight so ferociously, Zhang Jiuxiao was at a loss for words. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Zhang Xuan frowning. He flicked his wrist, and another jade token appeared in his hand.
It was a Communication Jade Token. There were inscriptions on it, and it emanated a unique energy. It seemed like it was transmitting some important message.
Zhang Xuan tapped on it lightly.
Weng!
A slightly blurred portrait appeared before his eyes. It was a devastatingly beautiful lady, and she possessed an indescribable beauty.
With just a glance, Zhang Xuan was able to recognize her. It was his First Senior, Zhao Ya!
Even though he had never seen her before, he had heard his teacher describe her appearance in detail.
At this moment, there was an anxious look on Zhao Ya's face. Her mouth opened and closed, and an anxious voice sounded.
"Teacher, save me!"
Peng!
The image vanished, and 'peng!', the Communication Jade Token exploded.
(Book 10: Zhao Ya's plea for help has come to an end. The curtains of the next book, Zhang Xuan's Rejection of the Marriage Proposal, will begin soon. In this book, Zhang Xuan will truly stand at the peak of the Master Teacher Continent, unrivaled in the world. Please look forward to it!)
