In the Sanctum Head Hall, Zhan shi paced around the room with his hands behind his back with a deep frown on his forehead.
"Elder Ge, what do you think of this matter?"
In a room in the hall, an old man was sitting in the same place, holding a communication jade token in his hand. His expression was also unreadable.
Elder Ge of the Hall of Integrity.
"Zhang Wuheng has been in charge of the Zhang Clan for many years, and he has always been a person who knows his limits. Since he issued the First Elder's order, I'm afraid that Zhang Xuan has indeed done something unforgivable!"
Elder Ge said after reading through the message.
They had been acquainted with the First Elder of the Zhang clan for many years, and they knew that the latter had always been a reliable person. For the latter to be so furious this time around, sending a message to the Zhang Clan saying that Zhang Xuan had escaped and requesting for help in apprehending him, it was likely that the genius of the Sanctum of Sages had caused quite a ruckus in the Zhang clan.
"Indeed, but he's Yang shi's student …" Zhan shi frowned.
"So what if he's Yang shi's student? A prince is no different from a commoner! Back then, Kong Shi's direct disciple made a mistake, and he was punished in public as well … While Zhang Xuan is talented, he has always been a lawless individual. My opinion is that since Elder Wuheng has made this request, we should make a move to apprehend him. Not only will we be able to bond with the Zhang clan, we will also be able to show that our Sanctum of Sages is fair and impartial! "
Elder Ge said.
"That's true. I don't know what he has done in the Zhang clan, but since Elder Wuheng has made a request, we can't turn him down. Why don't you send someone to check on him and see if he has really mastered some kind of teleportation technique? Once we find him, we can just apprehend him and wait for the Zhang clan's men to arrive … "
Zhan shi pondered for a moment before flinging his sleeves.
He had thought that Zhang Xuan was a candidate for the sanctum head, but since he knew that it was Feng Ziyi, it was unlikely that he was the one. There was no reason for him to cover up for the other party.
Otherwise, it would be hard for him to answer to the Zhang clan.
"Alright, I'll get it done right now!"
Elder Ge nodded before standing up. Just as he was about to leave, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.
"Is Zhan shi in? Zhang Xuan is here! "
"Zhang Xuan? How dare he come looking for me? "
Looking at each other, the two old men were stunned at the same time.
His guts were way too big!
Just as they were discussing how they were going to capture Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan suddenly charged over.
"The fact that he was able to escape from Zhang Wuheng means that he must have some tricks up his sleeves. How about this, I'll ask him about it later on to see if what Elder Wuheng said is true. If that's the case, you'll have to take control of the surrounding formations to prevent him from escaping!"
Zhan shi sent a telepathic message over to Zhang Xuan.
Elder Ge nodded.
After the discussion was over, Zhan shi announced, "Come in!"
Creak!
The door opened and Zhang Xuan walked in.
"Zhan shi, Elder Ge …"
Seeing that Elder Ge of the Hall of Integrity was here as well, Zhang Xuan was a little perplexed.
"What brings you here so late at night, Mr. Zhang Shi?"
After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhan shi turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
"I am currently studying grade-9 formations, but I've been struggling to find the necessary formation flags. I heard that Zhan shi specializes in formations, so I would like to borrow them. If Zhan shi is willing to part with them, I'm willing to buy them from you!"
Zhang Xuan.
"I do have grade-9 formation flags … If Zhang Shi really wants them, I don't mind giving them to you, but …" Zhan shi looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"Grade-9 formations involve the laws of space, making them extremely complicated to set up. Zhang Shi's cultivation doesn't seem to have reached the required level yet, right?"
Grade-9 formations involved the laws of space, and once they were set up, they would be able to form a world of their own.
In order to learn them, one would have to reach Saint 9-dan at the very least. Even Zhan shi, who had studied grade-9 formations for more than a hundred years, was unable to even set up a basic grade-9 formation. Yet, the young man before him had just cleared his 8-star master teacher examination. Even if his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, he was still only at the Phantasmal Space realm.
Wasn't the disparity a little too great?
"I'm just curious. I don't think that I'll be able to successfully set it up on my first try!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
While he had learned the Heaven's Path Teleportation Formation, his cultivation was still too low, and he had never set one up before. He had never thought that he would be able to succeed on his first try. If it came down to it, he could still consider trying it twice or thrice.
"Everything has to be learned step by step. There's no way you can master it in a single try!"
Zhan shi thought that the other party was just like him, intending to study and study the formation. Nodding, he picked up his teacup and took a sip. "There are more than a hundred basic grade-9 formations. May I know which one Zhang Shi is interested in learning? Different types of formations have different attributes as well. If you make a mistake, not only will you fail to set up a formation, you might even suffer a backlash and harm yourself! "
Formations that involved space were not something that could be set up casually. Strength, formation flags, and deep understanding of formations were all indispensable.
"This … I would like to set up a Teleportation Formation …"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Teleportation Formation …"
Zhan shi was stunned, and he nearly spurted out the tea in his mouth. He stared at Zhang Xuan as if he was looking at a monster. "Teleportation Formations are top-notch even among grade-9 formations. As an 8-star formation master, you are intending to study such a formation right from the start?"
Teleportation Formations could be divided into Teleportation Formations, Teleportation Formations, Teleportation Formations, Teleportation Formations, and Life Teleportation Formations.
Teleportation Formations could be divided into Teleportation Formations, Teleportation Formations, Teleportation Formations, Teleportation Formations, and Teleportation Formations. As for Teleportation Formations, it would require 6-star or Seven Star formations. As for Teleportation Formations, 8-star formation masters would be able to do it. As for Life Teleportation Formations, there were simply too many factors involved. Even a Nine Star formation master would find it difficult to succeed. Yet, a mere Phantasmal Space realm 8-star formation master who had never learned any grade-9 formations before was intending to study Teleportation Formations …
It was just like how a person who didn't even know how to hold a brush would attempt to write the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion from the start.
"That's right. I have an innate sensitivity toward space, so I went to study the Teleportation Formations earlier to give it a try!"
Unable to explain the matter regarding the Heaven's Path Formation, Zhang Xuan replied vaguely.
"An innate sensitivity toward space?"
Zhan shi and Elder Ge glanced at one another before nodding in agreement.
If they had still doubted the First Elder's words earlier, they would have thought that it was impossible. After all, the young man had claimed that he was intending to study Teleportation Formations right from the start, and he even claimed that he had an innate sensitivity toward space. Perhaps, what he had said was true.
He had really caused some irreparable harm in the Zhang clan and escaped back to the Sanctum of Sages.
Zhan shi paused for a moment before asking, "Right, why didn't Jian Qinsheng return with you from the Zhang clan?"
"I had some urgent matters to attend to, so I returned first. Elder Jian Qinsheng should be back soon," Zhang Xuan replied.
"Urgent matters? Could it be that you had some conflict with the Zhang clan? "
Zhan shi frowned.
"There was indeed some conflict, but I'll resolve it …" Knowing that it was only a matter of time before Zhang Xuan found out about this matter, Zhang Xuan frowned.
"It's good that you want to resolve it," Zhan shi replied.
"Zhang Shi, I'm sorry, but I'll have to trouble you to stay here for the time being."
After saying those words, Zhan shi raised his hand and sealed the surrounding space.
In an instant, Zhang Xuan's body was sealed in place, rendering him unable to move at all.
