Hong long!
Right after those words were spoken, the crowd suddenly felt a powerful pressure crushing down on them. Following which, a middle-aged lady wielding a sword flew right toward them.
Before the sword qi could even reach them, it had already penetrated their bones, threatening to tear their flesh apart.
"Sword Saint Meng …"
The First Elder felt goosebumps rising all over his body, and he hurriedly clasped his fist. However, before he could say anything, the sword qi had already arrived right before him.
Peng!
The First Elder was sent flying, and he crashed heavily into the ground, creating yet another huge depression. A bloody wound appeared on his chest.
"You …"
Not expecting the madam of the clan head to make a move on him as soon as she returned, the First Elder was so furious that he could explode. He struggled to his feet, and with a flick of his wrist, he whipped out a sword and thrust it toward the middle-aged lady.
"It's only been a few days since we last met, but you seem to have grown bolder. You actually dare to make a move on me?"
The middle-aged lady's eyebrows shot up as she brandished her sword lightly.
Tzzzzzzz!
The First Elder felt as if he had been plunged into a raging torrent. More and more holes appeared on his body, and fresh blood spurted from them.
As powerful as he was, he was still completely helpless before the other party's swordsmanship.
Peng!
The next moment, the First Elder's back was smashed into a pile of rubble, and he spurted huge mouthfuls of blood with a pale face.
After being struck by lightning for quite some time and fighting with the Netherworld Inferno Qilin and the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, he had already sustained severe injuries. Under the other party's sword qi, he felt as if his entire body had gone limp.
"Cough cough! Madam, I think you should stop!"
Following which, an awkward voice sounded, and a middle-aged man descended from the sky.
"Clan head!"
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the elders in the surroundings clasped their fists and greeted him.
He was the head of the Zhang clan, the father of the young prodigy, Heung Kensei.
Knowing that Zhang Xuan was in the Zhang clan, they had rushed back as fast as they could, but they were still too late.
"Stop? Didn't you hear that fellow's command? "
Sword Saint Meng's eyebrows shot up.
"I heard it … That's why I didn't stop him! Look at his current state … he's probably going to die if we were to continue fighting! Let's ask him what's going on first! "
Sword Saint Xing scratched his head awkwardly before replying.
"Hmph!"
Sword Saint Meng flung her sleeves disdainfully.
Heung Kensei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she did not say anything more. He quickly turned to look at the Great Elder who was not far away. "What's going on? Why did the Great Elder order to kill Zhang Xuan? "
"Clan head, after Zhang Xuan arrived at the Zhang Clan, he began wreaking havoc in the Zhang Clan, ruining the Zhang Clan. Left with no choice, the First Elder had no choice but to issue the order!"
Zhang Wuchen quickly clasped his fist.
"Wanton destruction?" Heung Kensei was stunned for a moment. He pointed at the surroundings. "You mean, these ruins are his handiwork?"
As soon as he arrived, he saw that the entire Zhang family had collapsed. He was wondering what was going on, but he didn't expect that it was done by Zhang Xuan.
"That's right, it's him!"
Zhang Wuchen gritted his teeth. "Our Zhang family has been around for ten thousand years …"
"This …"
Heung Kensei was stunned. He turned to his wife beside him and said, "That's just like you …"
His wife was a person who loved to wreak havoc. After marrying into the Zhang family, she would often wreak havoc in the clan. Who could have thought that Zhang Xuan would go even further than that? His destructive prowess seemed to have reached a whole new level …
"Isn't it just a few buildings? You want to kill someone for destroying them? Is this the demeanor of your Zhang family? Do you believe that I won't tear down your ancestral shrine right now? "
Sword Saint Meng said with a frown.
What the heck was this?
Wasn't it just a few buildings?
What's the big deal about it?
Do you believe that I won't tear down your ancestral graves right now?
"This … It's not about the buildings …"
The First Elder finally recovered from his shock. Sensing Sword Saint Meng's aura, he knew that this woman really dared to do anything. If he didn't explain himself properly, she would really tear down their ancestral graves. With a reddened face, he hurriedly explained himself.
"What is it then?" Sword Saint Meng asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes … I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking that Zhang Xuan is him … But to tell you the truth, he isn't! I have already checked his bloodline and soul, and there's no relationship between him and the Zhang family at all! "
Knowing what the other party was thinking, the First Elder said.
"Bloodline? Humph! You have the cheek to talk about bloodline?"
Sword Saint Meng sneered coldly.
"Putting aside his bloodline, I have seen that fellow using the soul oracle art and the artifact of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. If I'm not mistaken, there's a good chance that he isn't a human but an Otherworldly Demon!"
The First Elder said with gritted teeth.
"Soul oracle art?"
"Artifact of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
Heung Kensei and Sword Saint Meng glanced at one another in astonishment.
They had thought that Zhang Xuan was their missing child, but who could have known that the other party was actually a soul oracle?
"Indeed. Soul oracles are known for their vicious nature, and I'm sure I don't need to explain this to you. I saw his soul leaving his body, and he even used an artifact of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to attack me. This depression was created by that artifact, and if you don't believe me, you can see the killing intent of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe lingering within!"
The First Elder said as he pointed forward.
The duo quickly turned their gazes over.
The depression was several hundred meters deep. Even though it was filled with rubble, with their cultivation, they could still sense the aura of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe lingering within.
The artifacts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe required Zhenqi of Slaughter to drive. Humans were unable to use them, but they were able to use them. Could it be that Zhang Xuan wasn't their child but an Otherworldly Demon?
"This is indeed the aura of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. What happened?"
Heung Kensei asked.
"It's like this …"
The First Elder quickly explained the matter regarding the swordsmanship challenge and the lightning tribulation that Zhang Xuan had triggered.
"The lightning tribulation summoned by the Phantasmal Space Ordeal is even more powerful than the Macrocosm Ascendancy Ordeal?"
After hearing the explanation, Heung Kensei looked at the streaks of lightning that had been struck by the lightning tribulation, and he fell into deep thought.
If his child was still alive, he would surely be a top-notch genius. But … it was impossible for a Grand Dominion realm cultivator to attract such a powerful lightning tribulation and successfully overcome it!
Could it be that he was really an Otherworldly Demon in disguise?
"Isn't he Yang shi's student? Why don't we just ask Yang shi about it? "
Sword Saint Meng harrumphed.
"Indeed. Let's ask Yang shi about it!"
Heung Kensei nodded. "However, Yang shi is currently in seclusion, so it wouldn't be convenient for us to disturb him …"
Hong long!
Before he could finish his words, a majestic aura suddenly burst into the clouds, crushing the surroundings into silence.
"Yang shi is finally out of seclusion!"
Sensing the aura, everyone's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly flew over.
Following which, they saw an elder floating in the air. The aura emanating from his body flickered constantly, making it hard to tell what realm he had reached.
"Yang shi!"
Upon seeing the elder, the crowd clasped their fists.
"Un!" Yang shi replied with a smile.
"Yang shi, I have a question that I would like to ask you. There's a young man named Zhang Xuan who claims to be your student. May I know … when did you take him in?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the First Elder asked.
