"Hmm?"
Zhang Xuan's body stiffened, and he hurriedly curled his body into a ball, concealing his presence completely.
His soul was massive, but after cultivating the Heaven's Path Divine Art and undergoing the tempering of multiple lightning tribulations, it had already become as transparent as crystal. As long as he did not intentionally leak his presence, even Saint 9-dan cultivators would find it difficult to notice him.
"What's wrong, First Elder?"
The other person was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly turning around.
The First Elder scanned the area carefully with her Spiritual Perception, but she was unable to find anything. Thus, she rubbed her glabella and said, "It's nothing much. Perhaps it's because I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I'm getting a little too alert."
She had clearly sensed a disturbance in the air earlier, but when she tried to examine it, she was unable to find anything. However, she did not believe that there was anyone in the world who could conceal themselves before her. Since she was unable to find anything, it was likely that she was mistaken.
"While the Glacier Plain Court's security isn't as tight as the Mingshi Tang headquarters, it's not a place where just anyone can enter. Don't worry, First Elder!"
Seeing that she didn't notice anything, the other man chuckled.
"Un."
The First Elder nodded, no longer hesitating, and continued walking forward.
"It's indeed the First Elder …"
Watching as they walked away, Zhang Xuan recalled the previous conversation and confirmed that it was indeed the First Elder. Slowly rising from the snow, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
From their conversation, he could tell that the other party was trying to force Zhao Ya to do something, but she was unwilling to do so.
No matter what it is, it has to be something that Zhao Ya is unwilling to do …
To think that the Glacier Plain Court, one of the top powers in the world, would actually force their young court chief to do something against her will, going so far as to imprison her and threaten her with her teacher … Just what in the world was going on?
"Let's follow them to take a look!"
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan silently chased after Zhang Xuan.
It did not take long for him to arrive at the entrance of the Chanting Serenity Hall. The First Elder and the other person also walked up to him. The First Elder flicked her finger, and a token floated before her. Following which, a slit appeared on the seal of the hall.
The two of them walked in, and as soon as they entered, the seal began to slowly fuse together.
Zhang Xuan's body flickered, and he took advantage of the fact that he hadn't fused with the outside world yet, and as soon as he entered, he felt his connection with the outside world being completely severed. It was as if he had entered a folded space, or a paradise.
"It's actually a smokescreen?"
Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.
Zhang Xuan thought that it was just a defensive formation set up around a building, but who could have thought that the formation he saw earlier was just a smokescreen? If he were to barge in, he probably wouldn't be able to see anything at all.
What they had entered was a folded space within the building!
On top of that, this space was extremely stable, just like where the Dongxu Gourd was located back then. Even with the Eye of Insight, he would not be able to pinpoint its exact location!
Calming his mind, Zhang Xuan looked forward.
The folded space wasn't too big, and it was no different from entering a room. If not for the fact that Zhang Xuan had comprehended the 3-dan Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel, he would have thought that he had walked into the same room as before.
He slowly walked inside.
Since he was in a folded space, the fluctuations in space were relatively stable. The slightest movement could easily cause a disturbance, so he dared not move recklessly. If he were to be noticed by the First Elder, he wouldn't be able to escape at all!
After walking for five to six minutes, he had only advanced ten meters or so. As soon as he arrived at the main hall of the room, he heard the First Elder's furious voice.
"This is the only way to awaken the Pure Yin Body. May I know why you are turning me down?"
Following which, a crisp voice sounded. "I refuse to! Even if it means that I'm unable to awaken the Pure Yin Body! "
"She's really here!"
Hearing the voice, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
The voice was none other than Zhao Ya.
Even though it had been half a year since they last met, he could still remember her voice very clearly. There was no way he would be mistaken about it.
Walking around a thick pillar, Zhang Xuan discreetly glanced forward, and he saw that Zhao Ya was indeed sitting on the spot. There were no shackles on her at all.
It seems like Elder Bai isn't aware of the situation either …
Previously, Elder Bai had said that she was shackled by the Heaven Sealing Lock, but he hadn't seen it yet. It seemed like the other party's information might not be accurate.
"I'll give you some time to think about it, but you have to think it through. You have already failed once, and I won't allow it to happen again. Even if you don't agree to it, I have my ways to make you agree to it. I don't wish for things to end up like this!"
Seeing the determination in the other party's eyes, the First Elder flung his sleeves.
"There's no need to think about it. Even if I were given more time, I would still make the same choice!" Zhao Ya shook her head.
"Very well. Let's see how long you can last then!"
With a cold harrumph, the First Elder turned around and walked out.
Seeing that Zhao Ya had left, the other elder turned to look at her and said, "You should know the First Elder's personality as well. Why do you insist on going against her?"
"Second Elder, there's no need for you to persuade me. I won't compromise on this matter!"
Zhao Ya said with a determined look on her face.
"Since you can awaken your unique constitution, it goes without saying that you can destroy it as well. She … is an example of that. Do you want to follow in her footsteps?"
The Second Elder asked anxiously.
"Even if I am to be crippled, I won't regret it!"
Zhao Ya's eyebrows shot up as she spoke valiantly.
That was just her personality. Once she made up her mind, there was no way she could change her mind.
This was also the reason why she was able to become Zhang Xuan's student back then.
"Sigh … You should reconsider!"
Seeing that she was unable to persuade him at all, the Second Elder shook his head and hurriedly walked out.
Seeing that they were walking over, Zhang Xuan hid behind a pillar, not daring to move or even look at them.
For a cultivator of the First Elder's level, even if he didn't sense anything, he would still be able to sense it. Since he had already met Zhao Ya, it was best for him to think of a way to save her as soon as possible.
"Hmm?"
Barely after concealing his aura, the First Elder walked up to the pillar and gazed at it with a perplexed look.
"First Elder …"
The Second Elder walked up to the First Elder.
"It's nothing much. I just feel that something is amiss today. It seems like someone is tailing me!"
The First Elder shook his head with a deep frown on his forehead.
"Tailing you? How is that possible? Even Zhang Wuheng of the Zhang Clan wouldn't be able to follow you without being noticed, "the Second Elder said with a smile.
"That's true …"
The First Elder nodded, but she was still a little worried. "Why don't you head out to check if there's anything out of the ordinary tonight? If there's anything out of the ordinary, report it to me as soon as possible!"
At her level of cultivation, it was unlikely for her to be able to sense anything out of the ordinary.
Most likely, someone was really monitoring their every move.
"Alright!" The Second Elder nodded, understanding her worries. The two of them headed out to the area where they were sealed. Then, they took out their tokens and flicked it lightly, vanishing from the spot.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Stepping out from the pillar, he saw Zhao Ya supporting her chin with her hands. She was staring at a book in a daze, and her eyes were filled with longing.
"Teacher … Do you know? I … miss you! "
