"Not bad, not bad!"
Seeing the soul oracle reverting back to the size of an ordinary human, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Naturally, this was Lu Chong, who had entered the Ancestral Domain of the Soul Oracles!
When he first accepted the other party as his student, he was a man of few words. Yet, at this very moment, he even dared to mock the deputy pavilion master of the Mingshi Tang Academy. This meant that he had already walked out of the trauma of his clan's destruction, and he was no longer as lonely as before.
As his student, Zhang Xuan didn't care about the other party's strength. In any case, as long as he was around, no matter how weak the other party was, he would still be able to stand proudly in the world... To be honest, what he valued the most was a good personality.
Personality determined one's fate.
Only those who worked hard to achieve breakthroughs and achieve breakthroughs would be able to reach the peak and possess the potential to become an expert.
If one didn't strive to improve himself and only thought about how to act cool instead of cultivating, even the best teacher and the best resources wouldn't be able to help him become a true expert. Take Sun Qiang for example!
He had been following Zhang Xuan for the longest time, and he had the most resources as well. However... he was the weakest.
"Teacher, it's fortunate that I didn't let you down and managed to awaken my soul..."
Hearing his teacher's praise, Lu Chong clasped his fist in agitation.
"I saw it..."
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
In order to save him, Lu Chong was severely injured by the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, causing him to fall into a deep slumber. Only then did he realize that his soul was incomparably huge. Once it awakened, it would surely bring about an earth-shattering change. Given how he was able to toy with even Ren Qingyuan, it seemed like his soul had already fused perfectly with his body.
Only then would he be able to achieve a breakthrough within a short period of time, and his improvement would be several times faster than Zhang Xuan's.
"Un!"
Seeing the smile on his teacher's face, Lu Chong nodded in satisfaction. Like a child who had finally eaten the fruit he wanted, he hurriedly raised the object in his hand and said, "Teacher, I'll leave this with you for now. Otherwise, if the deputy pavilion master were to snatch it back, we won't be a match for him..."
Zhang Xuan reached out to take the object.
The reason why Lu Chong was able to snatch it wasn't because he was stronger than Ren Qingyuan. Rather, it was because his Primordial Spirit was concealed, making it difficult for others to notice him. On top of that, the latter had focused all of his attention on Wei Ruyan, allowing him to catch the other party off guard.
Once he was prepared, even if his cultivation was twice as high, he would not be able to complete the task, let alone him.
Otherwise, if everyone were to steal the Hall Chief Token, there would be no need for Mingshi Tang to exist.
As soon as his palm touched the Hall Master Token, Zhang Xuan immediately felt a special feeling in his heart. It was as if this thing had been prepared for him, and he could refine it at any time.
"What happened?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
This was definitely the first time he had come into contact with the Pavilion Head Token. He had thought that it would be difficult for him to control such a powerful artifact, but who could have thought that as soon as he held it in his hand, he would feel a sense of longing for it, as if it was an artifact that he had forged.
"I can refine it?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to give it a try and see if it was possible to fuse his blood with it, he suddenly felt an immense pressure crushing down on him. Raising his head, he saw that all of the Nine Stars master teachers had gathered together to form a massive barrier in the air.
"Teacher, this is the Empire Alliance's City Defense Formation. It's built around the Empire Alliance's Mingshi Tang to fend off external enemies. With the cooperation of the Nine Stars master teachers, it has been fully activated!"
Wei Ruyan said with a grim look on her face.
"City Defense Formation?"
"Un. This formation isn't too formidable, but with so many Nine Stars master teachers at its core and driving it with their full strength, it's not to be underestimated. Putting aside putting up a fight, it'll be difficult for us to even escape from it …"
Seeing the confusion on her teacher's face, Wei Ruyan explained.
The Mingshi Tang had dominated the Master Teacher Continent for tens of thousands of years, preventing the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe from encroaching upon it. More importantly, it had established branches all over the Master Teacher Continent, and the greatest use of these branches was to set up massive formations. Over the years, they had been nourished by the formations, and once they were activated, they would be able to exert a might that no one would be able to withstand.
Take the current situation for example. The Empire Alliance was a powerful organization in the first place, and with the formations set up by the Mingshi Tang and the Nine Stars master teachers, it would be difficult for even Yang shi to escape from them.
"Teacher, rest assured. With my Soul Traversal and Senior's poison art, no matter how powerful they are, it won't be easy for them to stop us!"
Chuckling, Lu Chong's dainty face revealed strong confidence.
After accepting the heritage of the Ancient Domain of the Soul Oracles, he was no longer the ignorant person he used to be. Just like Wei Ruyan, he had transformed into a powerful figure. His every action carried an air of authority that no one dared to offend.
"Indeed. Their formations are formidable, and it'll be difficult for us to withstand them head-on. However, I fear that they won't be able to stop me if we try to escape!"
Wei Ruyan nodded in agreement. Poison aura billowed around her, and it felt as if it would explode at any moment.
"I'm not worried about escaping. While my cultivation isn't too high yet, I should still be able to escape if I want to!"
Seeing how confident his two students were, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
He was indeed weaker than his students, but … using a formation to trap someone was no different from delivering meat to the mouth of a wolf … Ever since he left Tianxuan Kingdom, he had never seen a formation that could trap him!
"Then …"
The duo was perplexed.
If they could escape, why wouldn't they? Were they really going to wait for the other party to surround them?
"Sigh, we can't leave yet. Your Senior Zhao Ya has reached a critical juncture in her cultivation. If we were to leave now, her efforts would go to waste, and she might even lose her life!"
Seeing that they didn't understand, Zhang Xuan explained.
"Senior Zhao Ya? Cultivation? Where is she? "
Hearing that their senior was here as well, the duo was taken aback.
Zhang Xuan had wrapped Zhao Ya up with his zhenqi, making it impossible to discern her appearance. Thus, the duo couldn't have imagined that the 'thing' emanating the aura of an Otherworldly Demon was their senior.
"This is … there's a problem with her meridians. I intend to reconstruct her meridians, so I used a new meridian network map, resulting in this aura!"
Zhang Xuan said as he pointed forward.
"Reconstruct her meridians?"
"You used a new meridian network map?"
Wei Ruyan and Lu Chong glanced at one another, and they gasped in shock.
They had never heard of such a thing before. Perhaps, only their teacher would dare to do such a thing.
"Since Senior is here, we'll protect her with our lives. No matter how dangerous it is, we won't back down!"
Wei Ruyan stood up straight.
Since their teacher was willing to face so many master teachers without the slightest fear for their senior, as his disciples, what did they have to fear?
At most, they would just die together!
"I'll protect teacher and Senior with my life as well!" Lu Chong nodded.
"Un, I understand your intentions … However, even with the formation, it won't be easy to kill us. Why don't you stand guard over me for the time being? I'll take a look at this token first. If it can resolve the problem, it would be for the best!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he turned his gaze back to the Pavilion Master Token.
