"Good timing!"
Despite the immense pressure, Zhang Xuan did not panic in the slightest. Instead, with a smile, he raised his finger to defend against the attack.
At this moment, Zhao Ya's meridians had already been reconstructed, so there was no longer a need for her to sit on the ground anymore. Straightening her back, she looked at the token that was flying toward her, and the energy in her body began churning furiously. Just as she was about to control the surrounding space to grab the object before her, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her body stiffened.
"This is bad!"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed. In the blink of an eye, he felt the energy in his body receding like a receding tide, and his spirit was being sapped away. His body swayed weakly, and he nearly fell to the ground.
The energy that he had infused into Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang's body had actually reached its limit at this crucial moment … and it had vanished!
"Could it be that Kong Shi was intending to say that the energy would only last for ten minutes?"
Zhang Xuan nearly burst into tears.
Before he could even explain the situation to the unreliable Kong Shi, the energy had already vanished. This was the first time he had borrowed the energy from the droplet of water, so he had no idea how long it would last. He had thought that he would at least be able to tide through the current situation if he used it casually, but who could have known that it would only last for ten minutes?
With the energy in his body, it would have been a piece of cake for him to stop the token … but now that it had disappeared, with his Saint 8-dan primary stage cultivation, he would be smashed into meat paste before he could even touch it!
Hong long!
Just as these thoughts flashed across Zhang Xuan's mind, the token in the air had already arrived before him, crushing down on him.
Geji! Geji!
His bones creaked, and Zhang Xuan felt as if his head would explode at any moment.
"I guess I can only escape now …"
Knowing that he was powerless against the token, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath. Just as he was about to think of a way to escape, he suddenly felt a burst of light emanating from his body. Following which, the incomparably powerful token in the air began trembling intensely.
Padah!
It landed right before Zhang Xuan and crawled onto the ground, trembling uncontrollably, as if a pug that had just met its master.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief. The back of his shirt was already drenched in sweat.
While Zhang Xuan was perplexed by the sight before him, Zhan shi's eyes narrowed in astonishment, and his face turned ghastly pale in an instant. "He didn't use any of his strength, but he was still able to make the deputy sanctum head submit to him. There's only one possibility for that to happen — the deputy sanctum head is afraid of his identity, and the deputy sanctum head is afraid to attack him! The token of the deputy hall master harnessed the will of an ancestor, and for it to be able to strike fear into his heart, could it be that he was … How could this be possible? Isn't that Feng Ziyi? How could it be him … "
His body swayed.
There was only one way to directly submit to the Deputy Hall Master, and that was to meet the real Hall Master!
While he had known that the sanctum head would appear, he had thought that it would be Feng Ziyi. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that it would be Feng Ziyi!
He had caused such a huge commotion that he had nearly destroyed the Sanctum of Sages … Everyone wanted nothing more than to crush him to death. Yet, at this very moment, he suddenly declared that he was the sanctum head!
The strong impact almost made him explode.
Since you are the sanctum head, and the entire Sanctum of Sages is yours … Why did you make such a huge fuss over it?
What was the difference between this and tearing down his own house?
Feeling deeply stifled, Zhan shi turned to look at Zhang Wuheng, and the next moment, he felt much better.
No matter how ruthlessly the Sanctum of Sages tore down the Sanctum of Sages, it could not compare to the Zhang clan. That fellow even tore down his own house, what more the Sanctum of Sages?
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Zhan shi sent a telepathic message over. "Zhang Shi, you are the sanctum head …"
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
After receiving the Sanctum Head Token, Sage Kui had instructed him not to reveal his identity unless the three seals on his body were to be undone. However, since Zhan shi had managed to guess his identity, it was not a violation of the rules.
This was just like how Yang shi had guessed it earlier, and he had admitted to it.
"As expected …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's confirmation, Zhan shi's body swayed weakly.
Despite being a mere deputy sanctum head, he had actually issued an order to hunt down the real sanctum head … He sure was brazen!
It was fortunate that the other party had managed to escape back then. If he had been killed on the spot, would he not have become a sinner in the annals of history?
"Zhan shi, are you admitting defeat just like that?"
Ren Qingyuan asked doubtfully. Seeing that Zhan shi had fallen silent after tossing the token to the ground, he turned to look at Zhan shi doubtfully.
The might of the Deputy Sanctum Head Token had been great, but before it could even land on Zhang Xuan, it had fallen on its own. Others might have thought that he had intentionally gone easy on Zhang Xuan.
"I admit defeat!"
Zhan shi hurriedly nodded.
"Zhan shi, aren't you taking things too lightly? Despite saying that the two of you are irreconcilable enemies, you decided to go easy on me right from the start. Is this the dignity of your Sanctum of Sages? "
Elder Qu spat through gritted teeth.
He had thought that the Glacier Plain Court and the Zhang clan would be able to hold out until the very end, but who could have thought that he would turn out to be even more spineless?
"Taking things too lightly? This is an internal affair of our Sanctum of Sages. It's not up to outsiders to interfere in it! "
Zhan shi shook his head and kept the Deputy Sanctum Head Token.
"From today onward, the Sanctum of Sages will follow Zhang Shi's orders. His orders are the highest order, and anyone who dares to disobey will be expelled from the Sanctum of Sages, never to be recruited again.
His voice resounded in the surroundings, filled with determination.
"This …"
"Zhan shi, even if you can't hurt him, surely you don't have to obey his orders?"
"Why? I can't accept this!"
The elders who had followed behind Zhan shi to capture Zhang Xuan stared at one another in bewilderment.
Even if they were no match for the other party, surely there was no need for the entire Sanctum of Sages to obey their orders, right?
This didn't make sense at all!
"Do you want to know the reason?"
Zhan shi asked.
"That's right. If I don't know the reason, there's no way I'll obey this order!"
"Indeed. Even if our Sanctum of Sages isn't a match for him, we won't submit to anyone so easily!"
The elders of the Sanctum of Sages gritted their teeth proudly.
"Very well, I'll tell you the reason then!"
Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the crowd, Zhan shi shook his head and declared, "That's because Zhang Xuan is our new sanctum head!"
"New sanctum head?"
"What do you mean?"
The crowd was taken aback.
"Nothing much. He's the new sanctum head acknowledged by Sage Kui, so my Deputy Sanctum Head Token chose to submit to him instead of attacking him. As soon as he appears, the Deputy Sanctum Head Token will automatically be revoked, and it will have to obey his orders! "
Zhan shi said.
"The new sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages …"
All of the elders were dumbfounded.
They were not the only ones. The head of the Zhang clan, Ren Qingyuan, and the others were also dumbfounded. They stared at Zhang Xuan as if he was some kind of monster.
The head of the Zhang clan, the teacher of the court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, and now, he had gained another identity … the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages …
The three powers who had wanted nothing more than to flay Zhang Xuan alive had actually become a force that he could control …
Did things have to be so exaggerated?
"My son has become the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages?"
Sword Saint Meng and Heung Kensei stared at one another with widened eyes.
It was already a pleasant surprise that they had found their son, but who could have known that the surprises that he would bring would come wave after wave?
"H-how is this possible?"
Elder Qu's body swayed weakly, and he felt as if he was going to burst into tears.
