After an unknown period of time, the sky finally turned bright and the sun slowly rose from the horizon. You Ruoxin slowly woke up. She struggled to her feet and looked at the rubble on the ground. She could not help but sway a little.
In the tens of thousands of years since the founding of the Glacier Plain Court, it had been through many brutal wars, and each time, more than half of its disciples would die. However, the entire sect had always remained intact. Even if most of the buildings had been destroyed, it would only be a small portion of them. Yet, at this very moment, it had been reduced to rubble.
Although none of the disciples and elders had died, they had all suffered serious injuries. It seemed that it would be impossible for them to recover without at least half a month!
"To think that a single person could summon such a powerful lightning bolt …"
His body was ice-cold.
Truthfully speaking, she didn't take Zhang Xuan seriously at all. She'd thought that he was just an insignificant figure at the Phantasmal Space Realm, and she could casually crush a large group of them. Never had she imagined that he would possess such formidable strength!
It was just a Dimension Sundering Ordeal, and yet, the Glacier Plain Court was already reduced to such a state … If the Macrocosm Ascendancy Ordeal were to occur, would it mean that even Mingshi Tang's headquarters would not be able to withstand it?
"First Elder, the Glacier Plain Court has been destroyed!"
The Second Elder struggled to fly over, his face full of sorrow.
"That's right. It's destroyed …" You Ruoxin nodded blankly.
Having ruled over the Glacier Plain Court for so many years, she had thought that it would be able to rise to greater heights in her hands. Who could have thought that it would collapse just like that?
"As long as he's still alive, there's still hope … From today onward, Zhang Xuan is the greatest enemy of our Glacier Plain Court. As long as he's found, he's to be killed without mercy!"
Gritting her teeth, You Ruoxin roared furiously.
"Yes!"
The elders and disciples who had just woken up nodded simultaneously.
"Elder Qu, you have witnessed this matter with your own eyes. This Zhang Xuan kidnapped the young court chief and destroyed the Glacier Plain Court. He has committed a heinous crime, and I hope that you can report this matter to the Mingshi Tang headquarters so that they can issue a bounty on his head!"
You Ruoxin turned to look at Elder Qu, who had just woken up, and gritted her teeth.
"Don't worry, I will report this matter truthfully!"
Elder Qu rubbed his glabella and nodded.
Despite being a master teacher, this Zhang Xuan was brazen to disregard the rules.
This kind of person had to be strict and honest. Otherwise, if everyone relied on their strength to cause trouble, would there still be any rules in the world?
…
Bang!
After flying for an unknown period of time, Zhang Xuan could no longer bear it and fell from the sky to the ground.
Even though the Sanctum Head Token had managed to fend off a portion of Elder Qu's full might, the aura that had seeped into Elder Qu's body still wreaked havoc on his vitality, inflicting severe injuries on him.
If not for the energy that Zhao Ya had infused into his body, putting aside trying to break through to the Dimension Sundering realm and attract the Dimension Sundering Tribulation, he would have been dead by now.
Even so, after flying for an entire night, he couldn't take it anymore.
The reason why he didn't let the Qilin take his place this time was mainly because the latter's flame aura was too strong. Although it was fast, it would be easy to discover its tracks.
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan possessed the Heaven's Path zhenqi, which allowed him to conceal his aura. On top of that, his Eye of Insight allowed him to see through the flaws of others, allowing him to fly away without leaving the slightest trace behind. Even a true Nine Star master teacher would find it hard to track him down.
Struggling to get up from the ground, he discovered that he was in a primordial forest and there was not a single person in sight. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Zhao Ya, I have said that I can save you, so I'll definitely be able to!"
Lowering his head to look at the young lady in his embrace, he saw that her eyes were tightly shut. Even though she was still breathing, it was extremely feeble, as if she would die at any moment.
If not for Zhang Xuan infusing his Heaven's Path zhenqi into her body to sustain her condition, she would have already died by now.
"Flaws!"
Placing her gently on the grass, Zhang Xuan placed his finger on her meridians and willed.
Weng!
A book materialized, and Zhang Xuan hurriedly flipped through it.
"Her injuries are too severe. Her meridians are all shattered …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Zhao Ya's injuries were far more severe than he had thought. Under the assault of his zhenqi, her meridians had been reduced to dust. However, it was also due to this that the trauma of the Heaven Sealing Lock had disappeared.
In other words, in a moment of panic, not only had she shattered her meridians, she had also shattered the Heaven Sealing Lock as well.
"Heaven's Path zhenqi is able to repair blocked meridians, twisted meridians, and even cracks.
Zhang Xuan's complexion turned awful.
Heaven's Path zhenqi was more effective in repairing meridians than any medicinal herb, but … the prerequisite was that her meridians were still intact.
No matter how skilled a blacksmith was, without tools and ores, it was impossible for him to forge a weapon.
At this moment, that was exactly what Zhao Ya was facing.
Meridians shattered and disappeared without a trace. No matter how strong his recovery ability was, what use was there?
"Without meridians, I won't be able to send my zhenqi to the places I want to go, and it will be difficult for me to treat her injuries …"
Meridians were similar to capillaries. They ran through one's entire body, and it was for this reason that one's blood was able to carry oxygen and revitalize one's cells … Now that her meridians had been shattered, it was no different from an earthquake.
"Let's use my silver needles!"
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out his silver needles. Each of them was infused with a surge of zhenqi, and he flicked his finger.
Weng weng weng weng!
Hundreds of silver needles pierced into the young lady's acupoints.
"Cough cough …"
Zhang Xuan staggered for a moment, but eventually, unable to hold on any longer, he fell to the ground.
His injuries weren't light either, and he didn't have much strength left in him. If he were to save the other party, he would be running out of energy soon.
He took out a pill and swallowed it. Feeling his stamina recovering slightly, he turned to look at the young lady once more.
The silver needles infused several hundred surges of zhenqi into her body, and her complexion improved slightly. However, her injuries were simply too severe, and she was still a long way from regaining consciousness.
"There's only one way for her to recover completely, and that's to reconstruct her meridians …"
Rubbing his glabella, Zhang Xuan frowned deeply.
Even though he was skilled in the Way of Medicine, he had never read about such a situation before. Thus, he was completely helpless against it.
Putting aside not knowing how to reconstruct meridians, he had never even heard of it before.
"Just because I've never heard of it doesn't mean that it's impossible. Since there isn't anyone who can do it, I can be the first one …"
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes.
So what if no one had done it before?
It didn't mean that he couldn't do it!
"Just that … in order to reconstruct meridians, what do I need to replace the meridians so that my zhenqi can flow unimpeded?"
Meridians were like high-speed passageways that zhenqi flowed through. In order to reconstruct them, he would have to use something as a replacement.
But what kind of item in the world could replace meridians and allow zhenqi to flow freely without harming one's body?
"Looks like I'll have to look for it in the Blacksmith Guild or the Physician Guild …"
After a long moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan still couldn't think of anything. Thus, he could only shake his head.
If it came down to it, he could forge a new meridian for her. Just that … his smithing skills were simply too lacking. He could still forge bricks, but to reconstruct meridians that were so fine that they could be fused into one's body and allow zhenqi to flow unimpeded … it was impossible for him to do so!
Furthermore, he wasn't sure whether meridians could be replaced by weapons. He would have to look through the books before he could come to a conclusion.
