"You brought her out? That's impossible! The Chanting Serenity Hall is surrounded by a grade-9 pinnacle Formation that the predecessors of the Glacier Plain Court have poured their heart and soul into. Without the token, even the leader of the Formation Master Guild wouldn't have been able to take her away without anyone noticing! "
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man before her, the Second Elder leaped in shock.
She dared not believe it at all.
The Chanting Serenity Hall was a place where the criminals of the Glacier Plain Court were imprisoned. It was heavily guarded, and the folded space was well-concealed. There was no way anyone would have been able to sneak in without them noticing!
Putting aside the leader of the Formation Master Guild, even the head of the Luo Clan, who specialized in spatial manipulation, would not have been able to do so!
But … it had happened just like that. Zhao Ya had disappeared, and the middle-aged man before her said that he had taken her away … Just who in the world was he?
Just how powerful was he?
"This …"
Even though You Ruoxin was also filled with disbelief, she still steadied herself and hurriedly clasped her fist. "Yang shi, I didn't know that Zhao Ya is your grandstudent … I hope that you can forgive me for my rudeness, but … I didn't intentionally place the Heaven Sealing Lock on her!"
While Zhao Ya was the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, it was a different story when Yang shi was implicated.
If a student were to be humiliated, the teacher would have a reason to stand up for her. If the matter were to be pursued, not even Mingshi Tang would be able to find any fault with it.
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes as his voice turned cold. "The Heaven Sealing Lock seals her meridians and inflicts immense pain on her … and you think that you can let this matter go just like that?"
"This …"
You Ruoxin gritted her teeth. "I'll be honest with Yang shi. Zhao Ya's Pure Yin Body has to be awakened as soon as possible, and the matter regarding Mingshi Tang is implicated … I have no choice but to do so!"
"Implicated Mingshi Tang?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"Indeed. The matter does implicate Mingshi Tang's headquarters, but you don't know about it? You … aren't from the headquarters? "
Elder Qu frowned as a wary look surfaced on his face.
Even though Zhang Xuan still thought that the other party wasn't a grand elder, the fact that the other party was able to treat his injuries and point out the root of his problem so easily made him think that the other party was someone from the headquarters. Perhaps, the other party might even be an elder whom he had never met before. Thus, he didn't interrupt the other party's words. At the same time, he was curious to see what the other party was up to.
After all, the other party did not overstep his etiquette, nor did he cause trouble for no reason.
When he heard that he was here to save his grand-disciple, there was no reason for him to object.
But … now that it was related to a major event in Mingshi Tang's headquarters, this person actually knew nothing about it. Could it be that he was not from the headquarters?
Given that Zhang Xuan was not a master teacher, yet he possessed the ability to discreetly rescue Luo Ruoxin from the Glacier Plain Court, things would not be as simple as he thought!
"Of course I am, it's just that there are some things I'm not sure about …"
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He just waved his hand casually.
The awakening of Zhao Ya's unique constitution had something to do with the Mingshi Tang headquarters. Just what in the world was going on?
The Mingshi Tang headquarters were the role models of the world, and they would never do anything that went against their morals. Yet, it was still hard to believe that they had forced Zhao Ya to use the Art of Plucking to awaken her unique constitution.
"You're not sure about it? That's impossible! This matter was decided by Yang shi himself, and it was carried out on behalf of the guild leader. There's no master teacher who has reached Nine Stars in the headquarters who doesn't know about this matter. How could you possibly be unaware of it? Just who in the world are you? "
Elder Qu asked as he stepped forward.
If the other party wasn't a subordinate of Mingshi Tang, even if the other party was able to treat his injuries, he would still take the other party down.
Master teachers had their own principles and principles, and they would never compromise with others for their own sake.
"You aren't Yang shi? Then who are you? Why did you come to our Glacier Plain Court and kidnap Luo Ruoxin? "
You Ruoxin was taken aback by Elder Qu's sudden outburst, and she narrowed her eyes.
The aura emanating from the two experts pressed down on the crowd like a wall, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"Elder Qu, I'll discuss this matter with you later on. Don't say anything for now …"
Not expecting to give himself away in this matter, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he flicked his finger lightly.
Padah!
Just as Elder Qu was about to speak, he suddenly felt the zhenqi that he had just absorbed into his body suddenly churning furiously. It seeped into the very fiber of his body and tore it apart.
"AHHH!"
Cold sweat trickled down Elder Qu's forehead, and his body nearly collapsed to the ground. He wanted to speak, but he found himself unable to utter a single word.
In an instant, he realized that he had fallen for the other party's ploy.
"Could he be … the newly-appointed sanctum head of the Poison Temple?"
Elder Qu's body tensed up. He wanted to make a move, but he found himself unable to move at all, as if he had been sealed.
Mingshi Tang had received news that the Poison Temple hidden in the depths of the mountains had welcomed a new sanctum head, and it was said that he was the reincarnation of the founder of the Poison Temple. Despite his young age, his proficiency in the art of poison was already unfathomable.
The headquarters had dispatched a Nine Star master teacher who specialized in concealment to investigate the matter, but before he could even enter the sanctum head's palace, he had already been poisoned and nearly died.
However, not only did the sanctum head cure the other party of his poison, he even told him that his teacher was a master teacher, and he wasn't willing to make an enemy out of Mingshi Tang, so he asked him to calm down.
Eventually, after investigating the matter, he learned that ever since the sanctum head of the Poison Temple became the new sanctum head, she had indeed kept her subordinates in check.
Could it be that … the other party had been lying, and he had already sneaked into the Glacier Plain Court to make a move on them?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to poison him without anyone noticing?
If even he was unaware that he had been poisoned … wouldn't it be a walk in the park for the other party to kill everyone in the Glacier Plain Court?
Anxious, Elder Qu quickly drove his zhenqi, but the more he drove it, the stiffer his body became. An excruciating pain assaulted him, and he felt as if he was being torn into pieces.
"It's … the surges of zhenqi that I infused into my body earlier!"
Soon, Elder Qu came to a realization.
The parts of his body where the other party's zhenqi had flowed through were the areas where the other party's zhenqi had flowed through. In other words, the other party hadn't poisoned him discreetly.
"Damn it!"
Knowing what was going on, the anxiety in Elder Qu's heart dissipated. Taking a deep breath, he drove his zhenqi swiftly to suppress the surges of zhenqi in his body.
While he was unable to cure the poison, given his strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to suppress it for a short period of time.
"Elder Qu …"
While Elder Qu was silent, You Ruoxin leaped in shock.
She knew just how powerful the young man before her was. Yet, with just a single word from the young man, he was able to shut Elder Qu's mouth, rendering him unable to move at all. On top of that, it seemed as if he had been struck by some kind of secret means …
Was the young man before her really that powerful?
"There's no need to look anymore. Qu Buping has been sealed by my will, so he can't even fend for himself. To tell you the truth, I'm indeed not Yang shi, but my strength … can only be stronger than his! "
Zhang Xuan said as he took a step forward. An indomitable aura emanated from him, and every single one of his movements felt as if the heavens were punishing the world.
"I don't want to make a move, but that doesn't mean that I won't make a move. Tell me how to deal with the Heaven Sealing Lock, and I'll spare you.
Otherwise, I don't mind having the Glacier Plain Court … "
