"I only have one student, Feng Ziyi! I don't know any Zhang Xuan! "Yang shi shook his head.
"You don't know him?"
Everyone was stunned, especially the First Elder and Zhang Wuchen. They looked at each other and widened their eyes.
They had investigated the matter thoroughly, and from the very start, Zhang Xuan had claimed to be Yang Xuan's direct disciple. Who could have thought that Yang shi was unaware of this matter at all?
"That's right. I've been busy all these years and haven't had time to accept students. You know that. What's wrong? Someone claims to be my student? "
Yang shi asked doubtfully.
"Yes, there's a person called Zhang Xuan who claims to be your direct disciple. Just now, he was making a scene in the Zhang family …"
The Grand Elder hurriedly said.
"Pretending to be my personal disciple? How dare he! Where is this guy? I really want to see where the courage comes from … "
Flinging his sleeves, Yang shi's face darkened.
The heritage of the Master Teacher Continent was extremely strict. There was no ceremony for one to acknowledge a teacher, and impersonating one's student or teacher was a violation of the rules.
After half a year of seclusion, someone had already pretended to be a student, listened to the words of the other party, and stirred up trouble everywhere.
"He has already teleported away …"
The First Elder said awkwardly.
"Teleportation? What's going on?" Yang shi frowned.
Left with no other choice, the First Elder recounted what had happened in detail.
"Are you saying that a mere Grand Dominion realm brat is able to withstand the Macrocosm Ascendancy Ordeal with a casual wave of his hand and defeat all of the prodigies of the Zhang clan with his swordsmanship? Not only that, but he's also invincible in the fields of painting, beast taming, spirit enchantment, and appraising?"
Yang shi was stunned.
"Yes!"
The First Elder nodded. "It is one thing for a twenty-year-old to possess one or two abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, but to possess so many of them at once, and to be so talented as well, I suspect that he is an Otherworldly Demon in disguise!"
"It's indeed difficult to see through the disguise of an Otherworldly Demon Emperor, but if he's really an Otherworldly Demon, he wouldn't be so conspicuous!"
Yang shi shook his head, disagreeing with the other party's view.
For an Otherworldly Demon to disguise himself as a human so that even a nine Stars master teacher wouldn't be able to see through his disguise, there was no doubt that he had paid a heavy price to conceal himself. How could he possibly have caused such a huge commotion in the Zhang family?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing himself?
What was the point of pretending?
"If he isn't an Otherworldly Demon, how could he possibly know the means of the soul oracles and utilize the artifacts of the Otherworldly Demons?" the First Elder asked.
"To impersonate my student and use the means of the soul oracles to wreak havoc here... That fellow is an interesting one. I would like to meet him. Do you know where he teleported to using the Teleportation Formation?"
Yang shi asked curiously.
"I don't know!"
The Grand Elder shook his head.
If the formation was still there, he might have been able to deduce a thing or two. However, the other party's formation was so profound that even he was unable to see through it, needless to say, where it was teleported to.
"Don't know?"
Yang shi frowned. "Where did he teleport to? Bring me to take a look!"
The Grand Elder and the others stopped talking and quickly led the way. Before long, they arrived at the place where Zhang Xuan had teleported away.
Yang shi lowered his head to take a closer look at the token, and his frown deepened. A moment later, he turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Did the other party use such a token?"
With a light tap of his finger, the silhouette of a token appeared before everyone, emanating a faint golden glow.
The Grand Elder nodded. "That token was able to withstand my sword qi, so it should be at least a Saint pinnacle artifact!"
Previously, when he tried to kill Zhang Xuan with his sword qi, he was only able to see through the token with a single glance.
"This …" Hearing the Grand Elder's confirmation, Yang shi's frown deepened.
Seeing the expression on Yang shi's face, the Grand Elder asked, "Yang shi, do you recognize that token?"
"I don't just recognize it! If the token that the other party took out really looks like what you said, there's a good chance that it's … "
At this point, Yang shi paused for a moment before waving his hand. "Forget it, I won't say anything for the time being. I'll only be able to verify it after I see it with my own eyes!"
The Sanctum Head Token was simply too important. Even though he was the grand elder of the Mingshi Tang headquarters, he dared not speak of it carelessly.
Sage Kui had personally issued the token, so if it was really an Otherworldly Demon in disguise, he should have been able to see through it.
"Old Master, you are finally out of seclusion!"
While Yang shi was deep in thought, Hu Yiwei suddenly rushed over.
"Un."
Yang shi nodded. Then, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? "
His eyes were like torches, and he could see that this steward was full of worries at a glance.
"Old Master, it's like this. I found a student named Zhang Xuan in the Sanctum of Sages, and he possesses the Innate Fetal Poison that I left behind back then …" Hu Yiwei hurriedly revealed everything that he knew.
"Innate Fetal Poison? The young prodigy of the Zhang family? "
Yang shi was taken aback. He quickly turned his gaze to Heung Kensei and the others, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The young prodigy of the Zhang family, the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, a soul oracle, an Otherworldly Demon, and his student … What was going on with that fellow?
Why did he have so many identities?
"Since the identity of my student is fake, there's a good chance that his other identities are fake as well. The two of you, calm down. We know what happened to the young prodigy back then, and the chances of him surviving are extremely slim. Since he has already appeared, why don't I head over to take a look and see if he's real?"
Yang shi said after a moment of contemplation.
"I want to go as well!"
Sword Saint Meng clenched her jaws tightly. "I won't be able to rest until I see him!"
It had been so many years, and it had not been easy for her to obtain concrete news. Even though the First Elder and the others had confirmed that her son had nothing to do with it, she was still unwilling to accept the truth until she confirmed it with her own eyes.
"Alright then. Hu Yiwei's Innate Fetal Poison can't possibly be wrong. Furthermore, that fellow's surname is Zhang, and he came from the ancient domain. Everything makes sense. I won't be able to rest until I see him! "
Understanding the other party's thoughts, Yang shi nodded in agreement.
"Yang shi, do you know where he was teleported to?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Heung Kensei asked.
"If the First Elder isn't mistaken about the appearance of the token, I should know where he was teleported to!" Yang shi nodded. "Most likely, he was sent back to the Sanctum of Sages!"
"Back to the Sanctum of Sages?"
Heung Kensei's face twitched.
Hearing Hu Yiwei's words, he and his wife had rushed over to the Sanctum of Sages, but halfway there, they heard that Zhang Xuan was in the Zhang family, so they returned … only to find that the other party was already back!
Wasn't he way too unlucky? Every single time, they would miss him!
"Indeed. The Sanctum of Sages is a subordinate of the Mingshi Tang Empire, and the Zhang family doesn't have a direct Teleportation Formation. Why don't you send me to the Mingshi Tang Empire's headquarters first? Even though we'll have to take a detour, we should be able to reach the Sanctum of Sages within a day. It should be much faster than flying!"
Yang shi hesitated for a moment before replying.
The Mingshi Tang Empire's headquarters had Teleportation Formations that led to various locations. Since the Zhang family didn't have a direct Teleportation Formation, they could only take a detour.
However, even if they were to take a detour, they would still be able to reach the Sanctum of Sages within a day. It was much faster than flying for half a month.
"Alright, Yang shi. My wife and I will go with you!" Heung Kensei nodded.
