In the several dozen millenniums since the founding of the Sanctum of Sages, this was the first time that a student had pummeled the deputy sanctum head and the elders. This was also the first time that the formation protecting the sanctum head had been destroyed.
If such a thing was allowed to happen, what dignity would the elders and sanctum heads have left?
"Zhang Shi, what do we do?"
Seeing the elders of the Sanctum of Sages floating in the air and the activation of the Guardian Formation, Chen Leyao's face paled as she trembled in fear.
She was a genius of the Glacier Plain Court, and she had experienced many battles in her life, but she had never seen such a huge formation before!
To face the entire Sanctum of Sages singlehandedly … This was truly unprecedented!
"What else can we do? Once we're captured, it'll be impossible for us to save Zhao Ya anymore! "
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Zhao Ya was in a precarious situation, so he couldn't afford to waste any time. If he were to be captured, he would surely be held back. Not to mention, judging from the looks on Zhan shi and the others' faces, it was likely that he would be severely punished.
Thus, he couldn't allow himself to be captured. Otherwise, he would never be able to make a comeback.
Without meeting the three conditions, he couldn't take out the Sanctum Head Token, or else he would be giving up his position as the sanctum head. This was a test passed down by the previous sanctum heads, and he couldn't make an exception. Left with no choice, he could only face it head-on.
Understanding this, Zhang Xuan didn't bother explaining. Instead, he stared at the activated Guardian Formation in the air and muttered in his mind.
"Flaws!"
Following which, a book materialized before his eyes. With a light tap of his finger, the contents of the book flowed into his mind.
"Heaven Mending Formation! A grade-9 pinnacle formation … It's indeed powerful! "
The Guardian Formation of the Sanctum of Sages was left behind by Sage Kui back then, and it had been reinforced by countless sanctum heads over time.
Every single sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages possessed the Eye of Insight, which allowed them to see through the flaws of the formation. After several dozen millenniums of research, the formation before him had very few flaws. Even if it couldn't be said to be perfect, it wasn't too far from it.
"Seven flaws? That's the least among all the formations I have seen so far …"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
According to the introduction in the Library of Heaven's Path, there were seven flaws in the formation before him. However, no matter how many flaws there were, as long as there were flaws, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Qilin Beast, Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, you two break the formation and block the attacks of these fellows. I will continue to study the teleportation formation …"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan imprinted all of the flaws of the formation into the minds of the two saint beasts.
Back when he was still in the League of Nations, he was already able to transmit messages using his soul. With the enhancement of his soul cultivation, it would be a piece of cake for him to do so once more.
"Roar!"
Upon receiving the message, the two Saint Beasts shuddered.
They had long known that their Master was young and had excellent eyesight, but they never dreamed that this mysterious array in front of them, which they could not understand at all, would be able to analyze so many flaws in the blink of an eye.
Individually, these flaws were nothing much, but when combined together, they were enough to affect one's foundation.
"Zhang Xuan, your tamed beast might be powerful, but it's nothing in the face of the Hall Protection Formation. I advise you to take a good look at the situation …"
Seeing that not only was Zhang Xuan unfazed by his words, he was even more enraged than before. On the other hand, Zhan shi's eyes narrowed in fury, as if they would explode at any moment.
Roar!
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, the Inferno Qilin suddenly charged forward. With a ferocious roar, it swung its massive claws toward a certain direction.
At the same time, the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast leaped forward and crashed headfirst into a building not too far away.
The reason why the Hall Protection Formation was so powerful was due to the cultural heritage that the Master Teacher Academy had accumulated over the past ten thousand years, as well as the connection between the spiritual energy and the earth vein.
The Inferno Qilin's claws struck one of the nodes of the formation. Under the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast's charge, the building collapsed, and the connection point between the earth vein and the spiritual energy immediately dissipated.
With the two major flaws attacked, in the blink of an eye, the incomparably powerful Heaven Mending Formation became like a leaking balloon, losing all of its previous might.
Hong long!
The energy that had been frozen in midair a moment ago gushed forth once more, heading straight for Zhan shi and the others.
"T-this is impossible!"
Zhan shi's face paled in fright as he nearly plummeted from the sky.
Over the past several dozen millenniums, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had attempted to breach the Hall Protection Formation of the Sanctum of Sages dozens of times, but every single time, they had failed. While it could not be said to be invincible, there were very few formations that could surpass it!
How in the world did two saint beasts manage to breach such powerful defenses in an instant?
"Block it!"
Knowing that there was no use panicking, Zhan shi flicked his wrist and sent a palm seal crashing down from the sky.
Saint pinnacle battle technique, River Overturning Seal!
This was a move created by the fourth sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages. It descended from the heavens, and its might was unparalleled. Coupled with the incredible heritage of the Sanctum of Sages, even a Saint 9-dan intermediate stage cultivator could be killed in a single strike.
However, his opponent was the Inferno Qilin.
Having breached the formation with a single move, the Inferno Qilin charged right at Zhan shi. Without even bothering to dodge, it raised its head and charged right at Zhan shi.
Hong long!
The palm seal struck the Inferno Qilin's head, but it felt as if it had struck a Saint pinnacle artifact. The next moment, the Inferno Qilin's head was already right in front of Zhan shi's chest.
Sou!
Zhan shi was sent flying into the sky like a shooting star, leaving behind a trail of light in his wake.
"Sanctum head!"
Not expecting the Inferno Qilin to be so ferocious, Elder Ge and the others hurriedly rushed forward.
With a furious roar, the Inferno Qilin's body abruptly expanded to a size of forty meters, and it charged right at Zhan shi.
Huala!
Tzzzzzzzzz!
Elder Ge and more than ten other elders were sent flying at the same time. Their eyebrows and hair were all burnt.
The strongest aspect of the Inferno Qilin was not its claws or tail but its physical body!
After being tempered by the Inferno Qilin day and night, its physical body had already become as tough as a Saint pinnacle artifact. Even Saint 9-dan pinnacle experts would not be able to withstand a direct collision, let alone these elders.
"Is that … Zhang Shi's tamed beast?"
"How could it be so formidable?"
"To openly oppose the sanctum head and the other elders, is Zhang Shi intending to rebel against the Mingshi Tang Academy?"
The spectating students were all dumbfounded.
In their eyes, the deputy sanctum head, Elder Ge, and the others were invincible existences. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that they would end up being knocked around by a saint beast, unable to even put up the slightest bit of resistance.
More importantly, the Mingshi Tang Academy would not be able to justify his actions. Could it be that Zhang Xuan no longer wanted to be a master teacher?
"Damn it, damn it!"
With a huge dent in his chest, Zhan shi spurted large mouthfuls of blood as he flew back from the distance. But before he could reach them, he bellowed once more, "All elders, heed my command! Form the [Formation of the Sages] and attack together!"
The Guardian Formation had been breached, and all of the elders had been pummeled along with him. He could no longer hold back his rage.
If he did not punish them properly, the entire Sanctum of Sages would become a laughingstock!
"Yes!"
The elders replied in unison.
Following which, they quickly spread out and took up their respective positions. At the same time, they channeled their energy to form something reminiscent of a fishing net in the air.
"Formation of the Sages … Zhang Shi, this is bad! Run!"
Chen Leyao's face paled as she turned to the young man beside her, who was still studying the Teleportation Formation. Her body trembled in fear.
