Everyone raised their heads to look at the adolescent boy in the sky as if they had seen a ghost.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Luo Clan's Guardian Formation had fended off countless experts and attacks. Yet, before a mere adolescent boy, it had not even lasted a single breath!
How in the world did he do it?
Just how powerful was that fellow?
Countless experts gulped down a mouthful of saliva in disbelief.
"Have we met that person before?"
"Given his strength, he should be a famous figure. Why don't I have any impression of him at all?"
"I've never seen him before either. It's as if he appeared out of thin air …"
"If even the adolescent boy is so powerful, what about that young mistress? What's her identity? "
The heads of the Sage Clans hurriedly backed away, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire.
Their strength might have been extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, but before an expert of that caliber, the slightest carelessness could easily result in their deaths.
They were not on the same level at all.
"You …"
Seeing how the adolescent boy had easily defeated the Guardian Formation of the Luo Clan, the face of the head of the Luo Clan flushed and paled. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he turned around and clasped his fist.
"Yang shi, I beseech you to make a move!"
While the Luo Clan had their strongest trump card, they could not afford to use it recklessly. With Yang shi standing right before them, they could only place their hopes on him.
"Even if Clan Head Luo doesn't say anything, I would still make a move!" Yang shi nodded. "When did such an expert appear on the Master Teacher Continent? To think that I didn't even know about it. It seems like I have really grown old …"
Hu!
After saying those words, the adolescent boy began making his way toward the Luo Clan.
His movements were extremely slow, but with every step he took, a ray of light would burst forth from beneath his feet. Under his advance, the space around him seemed to become more stable, as if it had been locked down by some kind of power.
Initially, the adolescent boy did not think much of it, but upon seeing Yang shi's footsteps, his eyebrows shot up. "Who are you? The Luo Clan doesn't have such an expert, right? "
"I am Yang Xuan!"
Yang shi clasped his fist.
"Mingshi Tang, Yang Xuan?" The adolescent boy nodded in realization. "This is a matter between our young mistress, Zhang Shi, and the Luo Clan. I hope that Yang shi will not interfere in this matter!"
"Mingshi Tang has the responsibility to maintain the stability of the Master Teacher Continent. You have made a move on the Luo Clan, disregarding the heroes of the world. I might be old, but as a master teacher, I have the responsibility to stop you!"
Yang shi chuckled softly.
"Since that's the case, let's make our move. Let me see the strength of the legendary strongest person in the continent!"
The adolescent boy's eyebrows shot up as he crossed his palms, ready to make a move at any moment. It was at this moment that an impassive voice sounded.
"Alright, come down!"
Lozosy looked over.
"Yes!"
Not daring to say anything more, the adolescent boy retracted his palm and returned to the young lady's side.
Yang shi seemed to be wary of the other party as well. Seeing that the other party had stopped, he fell silent.
"Zhang Xuan, let's go!"
With a cold harrumph, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt his body relaxing, and the pressure that had been pressing down on him dissipated.
Seeing that the boy did not hurt anyone, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. He turned around and looked at the girl who was dressed in bright red and had a confused look in her eyes.
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he walked up to Zhang Xuan.
"Qiqi … I'm sorry!"
He had truly let this young lady down.
The marriage between the Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan had caused such a huge uproar, and the heads of countless clans had come to the Luo Clan. Yet, he had turned around and left just like that.
"Why?"
Luo Qiqi's eyes were glazed over, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
In the eyes of others, she was an unparalleled genius who had broken countless records. However, those who knew her personally knew that she was just an insecure and naive little girl.
It was for this reason that Luo Xuanqing had been protecting her constantly, fearing that she would be cheated by others.
"I …"
Zhang Xuan was at a loss as to how he should respond.
He did not want to hurt the other party, so he had never responded to her confession. He had thought that the two of them would part ways here, but who could have thought that such an ending would occur?
He did not want to hurt the other party, but he had done the most harm to the other party.
He did not want to get involved with the other party, but he had gotten involved the most.
"All along, I thought that you were the princess of the Baiyuan Empire …"
Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before replying.
Back then, when they parted at the Qingyuan Empire, Yu Fei-er had told him that the reason why Luo Qiqi had gone to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy was because she had a token from the Baiyuan Empire.
Who would have thought that she would end up being related to the Luo Clan?
"In order to prevent my clan members from finding me, I used the power of the Dimension Silencer to seal my bloodline and cultivation. Even though I managed to assimilate the Dimension Silencer, I wasn't able to come into contact with its secrets. As such, there were still some powers that I was unable to fully control. After being sealed, not only did my cultivation fall to the Transcendent Mortal realm, some of my memories were also sealed as well. More importantly, I needed to slowly raise my cultivation to a certain level before I could break the seal. This is also the reason why I was unable to save you even though I knew that you were in danger … "
Instead of answering his question, Luo Qiqi muttered.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
Seeing that the person before him was the other party, he could roughly guess what was going on.
There were indeed some secret arts on the continent that could seal a person's cultivation and bloodline. However, there was a limit to everything. With such a great power, there was bound to be some harm. For example, Zhao Ya's mother sealed her bloodline and hid in the ancient land. She married Zhao Ya's father, and the latter lived with her for many years without being able to detect it.
As for why she was a Grade 2 student of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, it was because she had only left the Sanctum of Sages for less than a year. However, in the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, as long as one possessed sufficient strength and master teacher rank, one would be able to advance to the next level.
This was understandable, but there were still some doubts that he was unable to make sense of.
The little princess of the Luo Clan possessed the Discarnate Constitution of Divination, which prevented him from using the Library of Heaven's Path. However, Zhang Xuan had tried to look into Luo Qiqi's body, but her identity hadn't been revealed. Could it be that her constitution was able to fool even the Library of Heaven's Path? On top of that, she had even given him the wrong answer.
If that was really the case, that would be too fearsome!
However, this matter concerned the Library of Heaven's Path, so he couldn't ask about it.
"Back when I was at the Luo Clan, I was indebted to the Baiyuan Empire royal family. Even though I had sealed my cultivation, it wasn't too difficult for me to disguise myself as a 4-star master teacher in the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. With such an identity, I was able to conceal my identity from the rest of the clan. More importantly, I was born into a dazzling existence. Others might see me as a dazzling figure, but to me, all I wanted was to be an ordinary person. I didn't have to think about anything else and just wanted to live a simple and happy life … "
Luo Qiqi's face darkened.
Even though she had sealed her cultivation and bloodline, making it impossible for the rest of the clan to find her, with her capabilities, it wasn't too difficult for her to get the Baiyuan Empire to write a letter of recommendation for her. Even if she were to impersonate the princess of the Baiyuan Empire, they wouldn't mind.
It was due to this identity that she had been able to remain in the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy for so long without anyone noticing. Even her good friend, Yu Fei-er, was unaware of it.
Only then did Zhang Xuan come to a realization.
Luo Qiqi was the most talented genius of the Luo Clan. If she really didn't want the other party to find her, she would have to give him a suitable identity, just like how he had impersonated Yang shi's student.
"I told you previously that I already have someone I like, and it's actually Luo shi! All along, I thought that she was from the Luo Clan, and that's why there was such a misunderstanding … "
Tossing aside the doubts in his mind, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.
He had to explain everything that had happened today. Otherwise, he wouldn't just be hurting Luo Qiqi but Lozosy as well.
"I have guessed it …"
Luo Qiqi nodded. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and it seemed as if they would fall at any moment.
"Qiqi, I'm sorry …" Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and apologized.
Knowing that Luo Qiqi was the princess of the Luo Clan, he finally understood why she was able to take out so many thousand-year-old medicinal herbs back then, and why Luo Chengxin would suddenly appear right after she left.
From the looks of it now, it seemed like Luo Chengxin had found her in Qingyuan City, and she knew that Zhang Xuan would be leaving soon, so she used pill forging as an excuse to give him some gifts.
Previously, Luo Xuanqing had told him that his younger sister was a quick learner in all occupations, but her mastery of pill forging was just so-so. Back then, he hadn't paid much attention to it, but now that he thought about it …
It was the young lady before him!
He finally understood why the underground chamber containing Wu Yangzi's body had failed to detect it from the Miryu Empire or even the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, but a mere 5-star master teacher like her had been able to find it easily through her unique smithing technique …
The young lady's aptitude was unparalleled in the world. Even with some of her memories sealed, she was still far more perceptive than most.
This was also the reason why her rate of improvement far surpassed that of Yu Fei-er and the others, even surpassing that of Zheng Yang and the other direct disciples of the Luo Clan.
It was only after arriving at the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Academy that her cultivation reached Saint realm and the seal on her bloodline was unraveled that she could no longer conceal her bloodline.
"You … should leave!"
Oblivious to Luo Xuanqing's thoughts, Luo Qiqi looked at the young man before her with a pair of teary eyes. Biting her lips, she waved her hand.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuan bowed deeply. He knew that the more he said, the more damage he would bring to the young lady. Taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked out.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Huala!
Barely after taking two steps, he suddenly felt a cold glint in his eyes. The injured elders of the Luo Clan and Luo Xuanqing had drawn their swords and glared at him furiously.
"Zhang Xuan, if you dare to leave today, you'll forever be the enemy of the Luo Clan!"
The head of the Luo Clan bellowed furiously.
"That's right! Zhang Xuan, if you dare to leave today, you'll be my enemy! I, Luo Xuanqing, swear that I'll kill you for the rest of my life!"
Luo Xuanqing spat through gritted teeth.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan continued walking forward.
"Die!"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Luo Xuanqing raised his palm and struck Zhang Xuan once more.
"Hold it right there!"
Zheng Yang flicked his spear and deflected Luo Xuanqing's palm strike. Wang Ying, Lu Chong, and the others swiftly stood behind him.
