Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan shook his head and waved his hand. "Stop!"
As harsh as those words were, they made a lot of sense.
The Sanctum of Sages was the greatest academy on the Master Teacher Continent. Even if it couldn't match up to the headquarters of the Mingshi Tang, it wasn't too far off. Instructing his tamed beast to attack the sanctum head and elders was tantamount to crossing the bottom line. If news of this were to spread, he could be hunted down by the entire Master Teacher Continent!
"Roar!"
Hearing the order, the Inferno Qilin didn't dare to disobey, so it swiftly halted its momentum.
Hearing those words, Zhan shi and Elder Ge heaved a sigh of relief. However, their clothes were already drenched in sweat.
If they hadn't stopped their momentum and allowed the Inferno Qilin to continue crushing them, they would have been severely injured.
"I really have some urgent matters to attend to, so I hope that you can forgive me!"
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
He had no choice but to make a move on them.
Even if he didn't make a move, he couldn't possibly allow himself to be captured and sent back to the Zhang family. If he were to be captured, the First Elder would surely eat him alive!
"Humph!"
Zhan shi shot a wary glance at the Inferno Qilin before harrumphing coldly. He was filled with rage, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He had thought that the other party was just a student whom he could easily capture, but who could have thought that in just a month, the other party would grow into a massive dragon that could soar through the skies?
"I'll settle the conflict with the Zhang family myself in the future. The reason I'm here is to borrow the Nine Stars Formation Flag. I hope that Zhan shi can grant my request!"
Sensing the displeasure in the other party's eyes, Zhang Xuan said earnestly.
"Alright."
Zhan shi flicked his wrist, and a hundred formation flags appeared on the ground. Every single one of them seemed to be of decent quality.
Grade-9 formation flags!
Judging from the other party's attitude, it was likely that the other party would order his tamed beast to attack them if he didn't hand it over. Since that was the case, he might as well hand it over first.
"Thank you, Zhan shi!"
Zhang Xuan grabbed the formation flags and examined them carefully. After confirming that they could be used to set up a Teleportation Formation, he heaved a sigh of relief before turning his gaze to the collapsed entrance.
"Come over!"
Noticing his movements, Zhan shi and Zhang Xuan realized that there was a figure standing not too far away from the entrance. It was the genius who had been admitted into the Glacier Plain Court this year, Chen Leyao!
At this moment, the girl's beautiful eyes were wide open and her red lips were agape. Looking at the ruins on the ground and the Hall Masters and Elders whose mouths were full of blood, her entire body was petrified.
He was only here to borrow a formation flag, not to steal it … Was there a need to go to such lengths?
How were they going to clean up this mess?
However, there was no point in dwelling on it. It obediently flew over and landed in front of him.
"Tell me the exact location of the Glacier Plain Court …"
Ignoring her shocked expression, Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice to her.
"In the extreme north …"
Not daring to hesitate any longer, Chen Leyao quickly transmitted the exact location of the Glacier Plain Court to Zhang Xuan through telepathy.
"Yes!"
After hearing this, Zhang Xuan immediately outlined a map in his mind.
When setting up a teleportation array, especially for such a long distance, there couldn't be the slightest error in the direction. Otherwise, who knew how many tens of thousands of miles it would take to set up a teleportation array?
He stood on the spot for a full five minutes before heaving a sigh of relief and flicking his finger lightly.
Whoosh!
The formation flags in his hand flew out in all directions.
Weng!
The formation flags fell to the ground, and a slight ripple rippled across the air, seemingly forming a stable folded space. However, before it could fully take shape, 'pop!', it suddenly exploded.
His first attempt had failed!
"I'm still not strong enough …"
Feeling that he had already expended more than half of his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly.
There was nothing wrong with the placement of the formation flags and the layout of the formation. The reason why he had failed was not because he had made a mistake, but because he was still too weak!
As a Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle cultivator, coupled with his Heaven's Path zhenqi and comprehension of spatial laws, his fighting prowess was on par with Dimension Sundering realm pinnacle cultivators. However, it was still insufficient to set up a Teleportation Formation.
"This is the time!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was contemplating how he could succeed, he suddenly heard a loud bellow. Following which, he saw Zhan shi and Elder Ge making a move simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, they pierced through the Inferno Qilin's area of effect, and in the next moment, the duo was already in the air.
The Inferno Qilin and Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast had focused all of their attention on Zhang Xuan, so they did not expect the duo whom they had already spared to suddenly make a move on them.
"Zhang Xuan has made use of his tamed beasts to make a move on the sanctum head and the elders. Elders of the Sanctum of Sages, heed my command and apprehend him. If there's any resistance, kill him on the spot!"
Zhan shi flicked his wrist and took out a token. Following which, his voice reverberated in the air.
After being pummeled by a student's tamed beast, he immediately issued an order to the deputy sanctum head.
Hong long!
As soon as the order was issued, the entire Sanctum of Sages immediately burst into an uproar.
While the Inferno Qilin was fighting with Elder Ge earlier, he had controlled his strength so as not to allow his voice to leak out. As such, no one had noticed the commotion in the area. However, when the order was issued, not only did the elders hear it, even the other students had also heard it.
"This is bad … Inferno Qilin, hurry up and bring him down!"
Not expecting the deputy sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages to feign weakness so as to make a move on him, Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
"Roar!"
The Inferno Qilin roared furiously as its massive body abruptly charged toward Zhan shi.
"Where's the Guardian Formation?"
Zhan shi's eyebrows shot up. The deputy sanctum head token in his hand began to spin rapidly, and a brilliant glow emanated from it. It seemed to have connected with some kind of power, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding space was sealed. As soon as the Inferno Qilin's momentum came into contact with the space around it, it was immediately frozen solid, unable to advance any further.
"The Guardian Formation?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
The lack of a true sanctum head in the Sanctum of Sages had caused its strength to decline significantly. The strongest expert in the Sanctum of Sages was only at Saint 9-dan primary stage at the moment, but in the past, they had still been extremely powerful.
Every single one of the sanctum heads who possessed the Eye of Insight was an expert who had surpassed Saint 9-dan. They were many times more powerful than even the First Elder of the Zhang clan.
The Guardian Formation that they had left behind was so powerful that even the entire Zhang clan might not be able to breach it, let alone Zhang Xuan!
It was for this reason that the Sanctum of Sages had been able to stand strong for several dozen millenniums. Otherwise, with just the deputy sanctum head's strength at Saint 9-dan primary stage, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would have long annihilated the Sanctum of Sages.
"Master, I'm unable to breach this formation. Once we're trapped, we won't be able to escape!"
Seeing how powerful the formation was, the Inferno Qilin hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
Tzzzzzzzz!
As the formation activated, the elders of the Sanctum of Sages also flew over and gathered behind Zhan shi. They stared at Zhang Xuan intently, unable to comprehend what was going on.
"Zhang Xuan, surrender now, or else … die!"
Zhan shi glared at Zhang Xuan coldly.
