Yang shi was unable to execute the palm imprint earlier, but Zhang Xuan was able to do so with the help of the Pavilion Master Seal. Did this not mean that the intruder's strength was already on par with his?
He had Kong Shi's blood essence … Could it be that the intruder had the same ability as well?
"That's impossible!"
Kong Shi's blood essence was incomparably valuable. If it was that easy to obtain it, wouldn't that mean that everyone was extremely powerful?
Besides, if he was not mistaken, Kong Shi's blood essence could only be used by Celestial Master Teachers. Even if ordinary cultivators possessed it, they would not be able to tap into its full potential.
"Could it be that an Ancient Sage has intentionally suppressed his cultivation?"
Zhang Xuan could not help but ask.
The head of the Yuan Clan shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. If an Ancient Sage really came, the Ancient Sages of our Yuan Clan should have been able to sense it and awaken from their slumber …"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
The Yuan Clan usually had Ancient Sages in slumber guarding it. If an Ancient Sage of the same cultivation realm were to arrive, the intruder would have been disturbed by the aura and awakened.
The fact that the experts of the Yuan Clan had not reacted to it at all meant that the intruder was still unable to pierce through the barrier.
"To possess such strength despite not having reached Ancient Sage, who could it be?" Zhang Xuan's complexion was turning more and more awful.
If an Ancient Sage had appeared, the Ancient Sages of the Yuan Clan would have been able to stop the intruder or find out who the intruder was. However, the intruder had not made a breakthrough yet, and he was still so powerful … Even he would not be able to find out who the intruder was!
"Yuan Clan's head, do you know where the Spirit Awakener Guild is?"
Zhang Xuan suddenly recalled something, and he asked anxiously.
"I have a map here."
The head of the Yuan Clan flicked his wrist and passed a jade token over.
Zhang Xuan took a look at the jade token and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Are you worried that … the intruder will make a move on Wang Ying?"
Sword Saint Meng nodded.
"That's right." Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, and Yuan Tao … His three direct disciples had been abducted consecutively. If the intruder were to make a move on him, Wang Ying would not be able to escape this ordeal as well!
As for Zheng Yang, he was in the Combat Master Hall. Even if the intruder possessed strength that was invincible beneath Ancient Sage, he should be safe.
"Alright, let's go!"
Thus, he quickly set up a Teleportation Formation and arrived at the Spirit Awakener Guild.
At this moment, Sword Saint Meng was starting to feel a little fatigued after using her energy to teleport three times in a row and protecting Zhang Xuan with her zhenqi.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Seeing him appear here, Wang Ying was full of doubts and at the same time felt very happy. "We martial brothers and sisters have decided to go to the Luo family to help you marry Master's wife!"
"Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, and Yuan Tao have all been captured!"
Zhang Xuan explained solemnly.
"They were caught?" Wang Ying's delicate body trembled, full of disbelief, "This … their strength is so strong, who are they?"
"I don't know either. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I rushed over …" Zhang Xuan said.
"Teacher, do you suspect that you will attack me?" Wang Ying immediately came to a realization, and he turned to Elder Qin and instructed, "Elder Qin, inform all of the spirit awakeners to prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Elder Qin also knew that the situation was grave, so she quickly left.
After making the necessary arrangements, Wang Ying asked anxiously, "Teacher, what happened to Senior Zhao Ya and Junior Wei Ruyan?"
"I have no idea either. The other party didn't leave any traces behind. Even I am unable to find anything …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head with a deep frown. "However, there's no need to worry. We just have to wait here. If the other party dares to make a move, we should be able to capture them and interrogate them!"
"Alright!"
Wang Ying knew that her teacher was waiting for the other party to make a move. As long as the other party made a move, they would definitely give themselves away. Thus, she decided not to ask any more questions. Instead, she arranged for the two of them to rest while she cultivated.
Compared to Zhao Ya and the others, she was indeed lacking in talent, but she was much more hardworking. As the leader of the Spirit Awakener Guild, she had plenty of resources, so she was able to make rapid progress in her cultivation.
Soon, a day passed, and the sky brightened up once more.
However, there was no movement at all. It was as if the other party knew that they were here and would not appear again.
"Do you have a long-distance communication formation here? Send a message to Zheng Yang and see if he's alright. "
Unable to hold himself back anymore, Zhang Xuan asked.
"Alright!"
Wang Ying left the room, and not too long later, she returned and reported, "Teacher, Senior Zheng Yang said that he has already arrived at the Luo Clan, and there's nothing out of the ordinary …"
"Nothing out of the ordinary?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
The other party had made a move on Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, and Yuan Tao consecutively, targeting his students. If Wang Ying and Zheng Yang were fine, could it be that … the other party was not after his students?
"Special constitution!"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment as his body stiffened.
Previously, Yang shi had said that in order to enter the Temple of Confucius and obtain the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, one had to possess either the Celestial Amulet of Legacy or a special constitution. Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, and Yuan Tao all possessed special constitutions, so they met the requirements.
However, Wang Ying and Zheng Yang did not possess special constitutions.
Could this be the reason why the three of them had been abducted?
If that was the case, they should not be in any danger. On the contrary, they should be safe.
After all, the reason why the other party had captured them was to open the Temple of Confucius, not to kill them.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan instructed, "Wang Ying, from today onward, follow me closely. Don't leave my side!"
Whether that was the case or not was only his conjecture, so it was best to be careful.
"Where are we going now?"
Sword Saint Meng asked.
After a day of recuperation, she had returned to her peak condition. Her aura was reminiscent of a sharp sword, ready to pierce through the heavens at any moment.
"Let's return to the Luo Clan!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"The Luo Clan?" Sword Saint Meng was perplexed.
"I still have some matters that I would like to ask Yang shi. Also, if the other party is really looking for a unique constitution, the little princess is likely to be one as well. I suspect that … they might try to wreak havoc at my wedding ceremony!"
Zhang Xuan said.
There was one more thing that he did not mention. Speaking of unique constitutions, who else could possibly be more unique than him?
Zhao Ya's Pure Yin Body, Wei Ruyan's Innate Poison Body, and Yuan Tao's Emperor's Bloodline were all beneath him!
Even though he was unable to discern what kind of unique constitution he possessed, the fact that he was able to cultivate the Heaven's Path Divine Art and possess the Library of Heaven's Path was more than enough to show that he possessed a unique constitution.
More importantly … the Zhang clan and the Luo Clan both possessed the Celestial Amulet of Legacy!
If the other party had really captured Zhao Ya and the others for the sake of the Temple of Confucius, there was no way that they would give up on the real Celestial Amulet of Legacy. On top of that, it was an auspicious day for the marriage between the Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan.
Thus … if he wanted to find out who the other party was, he would have to return to the Luo Clan!
Besides, he still had to ask Yang shi about how he could unlock the seal of the Temple of Confucius and enter it. Perhaps, he might be able to deduce some clues from him.
"Let's go!"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan had already made up his mind, Sword Saint Meng stepped onto the Teleportation Formation and left.
