"Zhao Ya …"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly, and a violent aura burst forth from his acupoints, threatening to explode at any moment.
Under normal circumstances, his Communication Jade Token should not have been able to receive Zhao Ya's message due to the distance between them. However, the source of the message was Chen Leyao of the Sanctum of Sages. Most likely, she had received Zhao Ya's distress signal and used a special method to send it over. However, the Communication Jade Token had also been unable to withstand the force and exploded.
What in the world was going on? For her to send a message without any warning at all?
Wasn't she the young court chief? Could something have happened to the Glacier Plain Court?
"Teacher …"
Zhang Jiuxiao hurriedly looked at Zhang Xuan.
"Something has happened to your First Senior. I have to save her!" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes as he straightened his back. As if a pillar that supported the heavens, no matter how great the pressure was, he would not flinch in the slightest.
He had no idea what Zhao Ya had been through, but as her teacher, even if he had to climb a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, he would not hesitate in the slightest!
"Save her … How can I save her?" Zhang Jiuxiao asked worriedly.
He already knew the identity of his First Senior. She was the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, and her fighting prowess was on par with his. Yet, even she was unable to deal with her. Was there really a way for him to rush over?
More importantly, the other party had only said four words, so he had no idea what was going on.
"No matter what danger she faces, as her teacher, I will not allow her to come to any harm. This is my promise to you as well!"
With a wave of his hand, the Sanctum Head Token appeared in his grasp. "That's right," Zhang Xuan said.
"I thought that a single teleportation wouldn't be of much use, but it seems like it's a little too much …"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
He had thought that the Sanctum Head Token would teleport him to the secret dimension of the Sanctum of Sages, but from the looks of it, that wasn't the case at all!
It was Chen Leyao who had sent him a message earlier. If he wanted to know what was going on, he would have to return to the Sanctum of Sages first. Even if the Inferno Qilin was much faster than Jian Qinsheng's saint beast, it would still take at least half a month to return from the Zhang clan.
If he rushed over after such a long time, Zhao Ya would already be in danger, and there would be no way to save her!
However, with this Teleportation Formation, it would be different. He would be able to return to the Sanctum of Sages without wasting any time!
"Zhang Jiuxiao, I'll be taking my leave first. Tell Jian Qinsheng that I haven't fulfilled my promise to him, and I apologize for that. If there's a chance in the future, I'll make sure to teach the Xingmeng Sword Saints a lesson!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan tightened his grip around the Sanctum Head Token.
Jian Qinsheng had asked Zhang Xuan to help him defeat the members of the Zhang clan. While he had managed to defeat Zhang Xu and the others, he had yet to duel with the head of the Zhang clan, so he had not accomplished his mission yet.
However, now that Zhao Ya was in danger, she couldn't care less about anything else.
"Yes, teacher …"
Zhang Jiuxiao quickly nodded.
Suppressing the dizziness in his head, Zhang Xuan drove his zhenqi toward the Sanctum Head Token in his hand, and the Teleportation Formation within it was activated in the blink of an eye.
Buzz!
A ray of light immediately enveloped him.
"Inferno Qilin, Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, Vicious, let's go!"
Zhang Xuan bellowed as he grabbed at the air.
Hula!
In the blink of an eye, the massive head of the two saint beasts and Vicious vanished from the spot. The next moment, Zhang Xuan's silhouette also began to fade before vanishing without a trace.
"Damn it! Otherworldly Demon, he's an Otherworldly Demon!"
Shortly after the massive head vanished, the First Elder, who had been smashed into the ground, suddenly leaped out and roared furiously.
Even though he had no idea what the massive head that had smashed into his face was, he could still tell that it harnessed the pure bloodline of an Otherworldly Demon Emperor!
In other words … the other party was not just a soul oracle but an Otherworldly Demon as well!
Master teachers, soul oracles, and Otherworldly Demons … Only an Otherworldly Demon Emperor would be capable of such a feat!
As such, Zhang Xuan's identity was more or less obvious. Without a doubt, he was an Otherworldly Demon Emperor in disguise. It was no wonder he had been so determined to cripple the Zhang Clan as soon as he arrived!
The grudge between mankind and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was not something that could be resolved with just a few words.
After leaping out of the ground, the First Elder immediately extended his Spiritual Perception into the surroundings, hoping to find Zhang Xuan. However, the surroundings were completely silent. There was not a single person in sight.
"Where is he?"
The First Elder glared at Zhang Jiuxiao with killing intent.
He had seen the offspring of the Zhang Clan with his own eyes.
"Ol … Zhang Shi has already left through a Teleportation Formation!"
Zhang Jiuxiao hurriedly nodded.
"That's impossible!" The First Elder was stunned. "Putting aside the fact that a Teleportation Formation requires one to possess strength surpassing Saint 9-dan in order to set it up, it requires a heavy price to activate it. Even though the Zhang clan has a Teleportation Formation, they don't use it easily. How could he have teleported away?"
Teleportation Formations were capable of being set up by Nine Star formation masters, but due to the profound mysteries of space, they had to pay a heavy price to activate them. Even though the Zhang clan was the number one clan on the Master Teacher Continent, they couldn't afford to use it casually.
Otherwise, the clan head wouldn't have left on a saint beast.
How could that fellow possibly use a Teleportation Formation to leave?
"He really teleported away. I saw spatial fluctuations with my own eyes earlier …" Zhang Wuchen said as he flew over.
He had sustained severe injuries from being struck by the lightning for a moment before recovering.
Even though he was able to fly, his injuries were still too severe. Without at least half a month of recuperation, it would be impossible for him to return to his peak state.
"To be able to wield such a powerful formation at such a young age, he must be an Otherworldly Demon Emperor!"
Hearing Zhang Wuchen's confirmation, the First Elder searched the area once more, and it was indeed true that Zhang Xuan had disappeared without a trace. Gritting his teeth, he spoke with a hoarse voice.
If he had still been unable to confirm it previously, this time around, he was absolutely certain!
Despite being in his twenties, he possessed the ability of a soul oracle, and he was able to utilize the means of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … Furthermore, he was able to use a Teleportation Formation that even the Zhang clan rarely used. Without a doubt, he was an Otherworldly Demon Emperor, and a person of high standing at that!
To think that Yang shi would actually accept an Otherworldly Demon as his student!
"I, Zhang Wuheng, hereby issue an order from the First Elder. From today onward, all members of the Zhang clan are to hunt down Zhang Xuan with all their might. If he catches him, kill him without mercy!"
Zhang Wuheng roared furiously.
Weng!
Along with those words, a token flew into the sky, and a faint glow spread into the surroundings, resounding throughout the entire Zhang clan's residence.
In an instant, all members of the Zhang Clan who possessed the bloodline of the Zhang clan heard the order.
The First Elder's order was second only to that of the clan head. Once it was issued, all members of the Zhang Clan would have to obey it.
"Hunt down Zhang Xuan with all our might?"
Just as everyone was shocked by the order, a furious female voice echoed in the air, threatening to explode at any moment. "Zhang Wuheng, how dare you!"
