Pu!
Zhang Wuheng's vision darkened as his body staggered weakly. He felt as if his head would explode at any moment.
All he knew was that Zhang Jiuxiao was acquainted with Zhang Xuan, and they had a decent relationship. Who would have thought that the other party was actually the other party's student?
It wasn't easy for a top-notch genius to appear in the Combat Master Hall, and he was your student; a genius with the Innate Poison Body appeared in the Poison Temple, and he was your student; a genius with the Pure Yin Body appeared in the Spirit Awakener Guild, and a genius with the Emperor's Bloodline appeared in the Glacier Plain Court, and a genius with the Emperor's Bloodline appeared in the Yuan Clan as well …
But that was all!
How many years has it been since our Zhang clan produced a person with such a pure bloodline, and he was actually your student as well?
Did you really take in all of the most talented individuals on the Master Teacher Continent as your students?
Did you really have to be so exaggerated?
"This …"
Zhang Wuheng was not the only one who was frenzied. Heung Kensei's lips also twitched violently, and he nearly fell from his seat. "Xuan-er, he … he is your student as well?"
"Hahaha!"
Before Zhang Xuan could reply, Sword Saint Meng was already laughing so hard that she could barely catch her breath.
She could tell that Zhang Wuheng was out to exact vengeance, but who would have thought that the fellow with the purest bloodline she had gone through so much trouble to find would actually be her son's student?
"I used to be an offspring of the side family with an ordinary bloodline, such that I wasn't even qualified to practice our clan's battle techniques. It was my teacher who purified my bloodline and raised my fighting prowess significantly!"
Kneeling on the floor, Zhang Jiuxiao explained.
"Purified your bloodline?"
"You said that your bloodline was very thin previously, and it was the young prodigy who purified your bloodline that allowed it to reach such a level?"
A huge commotion broke out among the elders.
They had heard a little about Zhang Jiuxiao, but they didn't think that his bloodline was not innate but refined.
"That's right!" Zhang Jiuxiao nodded.
"His bloodline can be purified?"
"How did he do it?"
"I heard that not only is the young prodigy powerful, his students are all formidable as well. The head of the Combat Master Hall, the court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, and even Yang shi is his junior. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to purify his bloodline, right?"
"If that's the case, that might be the case …"
Hearing Zhang Jiuxiao's words, everyone's eyes lit up at the same time.
Within a clan, the most important thing was the bloodline. If there really was a method to purify the bloodline, the strength of the entire clan would definitely increase by leaps and bounds, reaching an unimaginable level.
"He was the last one I accepted …"
Zhang Xuan ignored the crowd's discussion and answered Heung Kensei.
He had intended to take Zhang Jiuxiao in to deal with the Little Prodigy, but who could have thought that he would become the Little Prodigy instead?
"This …"
Seeing that his son had confirmed the matter, and Zhang Jiuxiao's eyes were brimming with deep reverence, Sword Saint Xing could not help but burst into laughter. He turned to the First Elder beside him and asked, "Elder Wuheng, did you say that my son's bloodline is too thin and he isn't qualified to become the clan head?"
"I …"
Zhang Wuheng's face turned red.
"Deputy clan head, Zhang Wuheng has disregarded the future of the Zhang family due to his personal grudges. I suggest that we imprison him!"
"Indeed. That fellow actually doubted the strength of the clan head for his own selfish desires. That's a heinous crime!"
"I suggest that we send him to the Subterranean Gallery to reflect on his mistakes …"
…
A huge uproar broke out in the crowd. Those who had supported Zhang Wuheng previously had also turned their backs on him.
Being able to purify the bloodline of the entire clan was equivalent to gaining control over the hearts of the entire clan.
Even if Zhang Xuan's bloodline wasn't pure enough, he would still be able to purify the bloodline of others. With that, he would be able to become the next clan head and have everyone submit to him.
"Men, take the First Elder away!"
Heung Kensei waved his hand dismissively before looking at the crowd. "My son, Zhang Xuan, will become the next clan head of the Zhang family. I'm sure none of you have any objections, right?"
"The Little Prodigy has always been the clan head. It's just a matter of confirming the name and announcing it to the public!"
"I agree!"
The elders clasped their fists together.
"Very well. Go and make the necessary preparations! Also, no one is to speak a word of what happened today to anyone else. Otherwise, they will be executed! "
Seeing that the crowd had no more objections, Heung Kensei nodded in satisfaction.
If the ability to purify one's bloodline were to be leaked, it would surely shock the entire Master Teacher Continent. He didn't want his son to get into trouble.
"Yes!"
The elders quickly made their way out of the room.
"Jiuxiao, you should step down as well. Make good use of your bloodline to raise your cultivation. Once your cultivation surpasses that of the First Elder, you'll be able to inherit the position of clan head!"
Zhang Xuan.
Even though Zhang Jiuxiao wanted the latter to inherit the position of clan head right now, his cultivation was still far from matching up to Zheng Yang and the others.
"Yes, Teacher!" Zhang Jiuxiao nodded before backing out of the room.
"Xuan-er, you …"
Hearing that his son was going to abdicate the position of clan head, Heung Kensei panicked.
"It's just the position of clan head of the Zhang clan. It doesn't mean much at all. The only reason I want this position is so that I can marry the little princess of the Luo Clan.
Zhang Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
He really did not think much of the position of clan head.
Rather than accepting the position of clan head, it would only bring more and more trouble. He might as well just toss the position to Zhang Jiuxiao.
"But …"
Heung Kensei was just about to continue speaking when Sword Saint Meng interjected, "My son is going to achieve great things in the future. What does a mere clan head of the Zhang clan amount to? Only a good-for-nothing like you would be willing to stand guard over it … "
"Cough cough!"
Seeing that his mother was mocking his father once more, Zhang Xuan interjected helplessly before asking doubtfully, "Since I'm your son and the young prodigy with the purest bloodline, why would I end up in Tianxuan Kingdom? Also, why is there no trace of my bloodline at all? "
This was what he found the most bizarre.
There was no doubting the strength of the Zhang clan.
As the most talented genius in the world, a Connate Saint, why would he end up in Tianxuan Kingdom, a place where there was not even a single Mingshi Tang?
Not to mention, even his bloodline was gone?
More importantly, his gradual advancement in cultivation had nothing to do with being a Connate Saint at all!
"It's a long story … Back then, when you were born, a resplendent glow filled the sky, and a majestic aura emanated from you. Many of the ancestral tablets bowed to you, and even the sculpture of Kong Shi floated into the air. As such, you were hailed as the purest bloodline in the past several dozen millenniums …"
Hearing the question, Heung Kensei sighed deeply.
"The sculpture of Kong Shi floated into the air? So … my name is Zhang Xuan? "
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Of course … your previous name isn't Zhang Xuan …"
Heung Kensei said. "If I had known you by that name, I would have found you long ago. I wouldn't have waited until now …"
"Then what should I call you?"
"This …" Heung Kensei's face reddened. "Let's not talk about it then …"
"Is there something wrong with my name?" Zhang Xuan asked in bewilderment.
"Your name is inspired by the fact that the sculpture of Kong Shi floated into the air. However, it doesn't sound as good as Zhang Xuan's …"
Sword Saint Meng harrumphed furiously. "My name is Zhang Diaofei!"
