It seemed like the First Elder was extremely confident in her defense, and she wasn't worried that Zhao Ya would be able to escape. As such, she didn't station too many people outside the Chanting Serenity Hall. Under the detection of Zhang Xuan's Spiritual Perception, the disciples were unable to conceal themselves, allowing them to easily escape.
Without wasting too much time, they returned to Elder Bai's residence.
"Teacher's body is here?"
Upon entering the residence, Zhao Ya scanned her surroundings, and 'jiya!', the door suddenly creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a slightly yellowish face walked out.
"Grandteacher!"
Shocked, Zhao Ya hurriedly kneeled down and kowtowed.
The middle-aged man was her teacher's teacher, her grandteacher, Yang Xuan!
"Un." 'Yang shi' nodded.
"Grandteacher, why are you here? Where's teacher?"
Zhao Ya was perplexed.
She had clearly seen her teacher's soul entering the room, so why would her grandteacher walk out?
"When I heard the news, I sent a message over. Since your teacher begged me for help, it's only natural for an old bag of bones like me to make a move!"
'Yang shi' waved his hands. "Don't worry, your teacher is in my folded space. He'll be fine. His cultivation is still too low, so he won't be able to deal with the current situation. "
"Thank you, grandteacher!" Seeing that her teacher was safe and sound, Zhao Ya heaved a sigh of relief.
What she was most afraid of was that her teacher might get into trouble in order to save her. Given her grandteacher's strength, there shouldn't be any problem at all.
After becoming the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, he was already well aware of the identity of his' grandteacher '. The grand elder of the Master Teacher Pavilion was one of the strongest experts in the Master Teacher Continent. Even if the First Elder were to come here personally, the latter would have to bow down to him.
"Zhang Xuan has already told me about your matter. Follow me, I'll take a look at the Heaven Sealing Lock on you!"
'Yang shi' said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes!"
Zhao Ya nodded before following behind 'Yang shi' into the room.
The two of them sat down, and 'Yang shi' placed his finger on Zhao Ya's wrist as his frown deepened.
Naturally, this' Yang shi 'was none other than Zhang Xuan. The reason why he chose not to reveal his identity was because he was afraid that the young lady before him would become flustered.
Zhao Ya knew his situation very well. She had long known of the existence of this "grandmaster". Once she knew that the grandmaster was her teacher … her mentality would definitely change. It was very easy for unnecessary changes to occur and give herself away.
Even if he wanted to explain the matter to the other party, he would have to first escape from the Glacier Plain Court before doing so. Otherwise, the slightest carelessness could very well result in him losing everything.
After all, he was currently disguised as one of the strongest experts in the world, Yang Xuan. He could not afford to make a single misstep.
To check her pulse, he would have to make sure that Zhao Ya was unconscious. Furthermore, from the looks of it, even if he managed to do so, he would only be able to find the flaws of the Heaven Sealing Lock, just like what he had seen in the book earlier. It would be nigh impossible for him to find the flaws of the Heaven Sealing Lock, unless he peeled off the other party's skin and found it!
"How did the Heaven Binding Chains get into your body?"
Putting down his palm, Zhang Xuan turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
"The Heaven Sealing Lock of the Glacier Plain Court is different from the one in the Blacksmith Guild. Instead, it is forged using an Ice Silkworm. After I was trapped, the Ice Silkworm bit my finger and burrowed its way into my body, and that's how I ended up like this …"
Zhao Ya recalled for a moment before replying.
Back then, she had been trapped, and her cultivation had been sealed. Unable to retaliate, she could only watch helplessly as the Ice Silkworm entered her body.
"Ice Silkworm?"
A deep frown formed on Zhang Xuan's forehead as he pondered for a moment. Unable to make sense of the situation, he could only say, "How about this? I'll send a surge of zhenqi through your body to take a look. If I can find anything, I'll be able to get rid of it!"
He had never heard of an Ice Silkworm being forged into a Heaven Sealing Lock before. Since his soul did not possess Heaven's Path zhenqi, he was unable to probe the other party's body.
"Alright!"
Knowing that her grandmaster wouldn't harm her, Zhao Ya stretched out her wrist once more.
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and a surge of zhenqi flowed into her meridians.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the surge of zhenqi flowing into her body, Zhao Ya couldn't help but be taken aback.
She was extremely familiar with this surge of zhenqi. It was identical to her teacher's, just that it was purer, gentler, and more concentrated.
"Teacher and grandmaster share the same lineage, so it's not a big deal for their zhenqi to be similar …"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before coming to a realization.
Her teacher had inherited his heritage from her grandmaster, so it wasn't a big deal for the both of them to have similar zhenqi attributes.
Soon, after sending his zhenqi through Zhang Xuan's body, Zhang Xuan's complexion turned even more grim.
The Heaven Sealing Lock forged by the other party using the Ice Silkworm had frozen Zhao Ya's meridians and dantian into ice blocks. As long as she tried to drive her zhenqi, she would be in danger of tearing her meridians apart.
Even though he had only sent a sliver of his Heaven's Path zhenqi into Zhang Xuan's body, it was still sufficient to nearly trigger a reaction. If he were to force his way in, he would have already lost his life.
"What a vile thing …"
Frowning, Zhang Xuan's face darkened. To think that the person in charge of a major power would resort to such despicable means on his disciple. This was unforgivable!
Suppressing the rage in his heart, Zhang Xuan turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Did the First Elder say how I can deal with this?"
Based on his current knowledge, there was nothing he could do about it. Not even his Heaven's Path zhenqi could do anything about it.
If the Ice Silkworm was still alive, he could still poison it to death. However, it had already fused with her meridians and frozen her meridians.
"She didn't say anything about it. She only said that as long as I agree to awaken the final layer of my unique constitution, she will help me resolve it!"
Zhao Ya shook her head.
"It seems like I'll have to ask her personally!"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan was unable to come up with a solution. Thus, he rubbed his glabella.
Given how formidable the Heaven Sealing Lock was, the longer it remained in one's body, the more damage it would cause to one's body. As such, he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.
And the only person who could resolve the issue at the moment was the First Elder.
Since he couldn't think of any other solution, he could only ask her personally.
However …
After what happened to Zhao Ya's mother, the other party's heart must be as firm as iron. It would not be easy to get him to take the initiative to say a solution and let Zhao Ya go.
"Even if I were to ask her about it, she would definitely refuse to tell me. In fact, she might even come to blows with me. But... if Yang Xuan were to ask her about it, that might not be the case!"
He narrowed his eyes.
With his current identity as Mingshi Tang's Yang Xuan, even if the First Elder of the Glacier Plain Court was the First Elder, she would still have to give him some face. Compared to 'Zhang Xuan', it was much easier for him to do so.
"Zhao Ya, wait in the Myriad Anthive Nest for a while. I'll go meet the legendary First Elder of your Glacier Plain Court!"
Standing up, Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves and said calmly.
Since he was here to save her, he naturally had to resolve the hidden danger in her body before he could leave. He couldn't think of any other way, so he could only give it a try.
Perhaps, if Zhang Xuan's disguise was perfect, he might be able to bluff his way through and obtain the solution from the other party.
Of course, if he were to be discovered … he wouldn't mind turning the world upside down!
