While everyone was still in shock, Sun Qiang suddenly felt like he was able to fly even without using his strength. And then … and then, he disappeared into the horizon, vanishing without a trace.
Seeing that Wu Chen had only allowed him to fly freely without harming him, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he had been wanting to teach this fellow a lesson for a long time now.
He really could not understand how a low-profile master like him could have such a show-off butler!
What a bad choice!
It seemed like he would have to find a more reliable butler in the future. At the very least, he had to find someone like Wu Chen, someone who could deal with many matters easily. Unlike that fellow, not only was he a burden, he was also a troublemaker.
Well, that was more than enough.
"Clan head, there's a successor of the Luo Clan named Luo Tianya. I heard that he has comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, and he's here to challenge you to a duel. Furthermore, they've also invited Mingshi Tang to attend the duel so as to ensure that justice is served."
After entering the hall and taking a seat, an elder clasped his fist and reported.
"This …" Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella. "I'm aware of this matter. I'm here to deal with this matter …"
"The Spatial Quintessence of Sealing is the strongest secret art of the Luo Clan. Once executed, it's capable of sealing space, making it impossible for one to resist. Even we won't be able to break through it easily … Xuan-er, you have to be careful!"
Heung Kensei said grimly.
Having been acquainted with the Luo Clan for many years, he was well aware of their strength and trump cards. The Spatial Quintessence of Sealing could be considered as one of the strongest secret arts on the Master Teacher Continent. While his son was invincible among his peers, it would not be easy for him to defeat an expert of that caliber.
"The Luo Clan has already suffered a huge blow from the annulment of the engagement, but they still dared to come here this time. I've never heard of Luo Tianya before, but it's said that he has defeated an expert from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers! "
The elder who had spoken earlier said grimly.
"He defeated an expert from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers? They have appeared? "
Sword Saint Meng was unaware of this news, so she frowned.
"Un. When they appeared in the Luo Clan, no one was a match for them. This Luo Tianya appeared out of nowhere, and not only did he defeat all of them at the same cultivation realm, his bloodline even reached 'nine'. In one fell swoop, he became the number one person in the Luo Clan, and was immediately appointed as the clan leader!" said the elder.
The Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan had been on good terms with each other and had sources of information.
On top of that, the Luo Clan didn't try to conceal the matter either. Thus, even though it had only been two days, the elder in charge of gathering news had already learned of the matter.
"The Hundred Schools of Philosophers have inherited Kong Shi's heritage, making them invincible among their peers. Even combat masters would find it difficult to defeat them! To be able to defeat Luo Tianya so easily, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated … "
After hearing Zhang Xuan's explanation, Sword Saint Meng couldn't help but worry.
"That …"
Scratching his head, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly. "What if I say that … Luo Tianya is me? Do you believe it? "
"Stop fooling around. The other party possesses the purest bloodline of the Luo Clan. How could it be you?"
Sword Saint Meng shook her head.
She had already verified that her son possessed her bloodline. The fact that Luo Tianya was able to become the head of the Luo Clan and verify his bloodline showed that they were two different people.
"This …" Zhang Xuan was speechless.
He was speechless. Why was it that when he spoke the truth, no one believed him?
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to explain himself, a gust of wind suddenly sounded in the air. Following which, a crisp voice echoed in the air.
"Nangong Yuanfeng and Tantai Zhenqing from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers' Great Phrontistery of Confucianism are here to pay a visit to the head of the Zhang clan!"
"Why are they here? Have they already recovered from their injuries?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He quickly rushed out of the hall, and the others quickly followed behind him.
Raising his head, he saw Nangong Yuanfeng floating in the air. Beside him was a slightly plump, fat, and ugly middle-aged man. Behind him was a group of disciples, a total of eight of them.
"Tantai Zhenqing? Could he be a descendant of Ancient Sage Zi Yu? "
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Ancient Sage Zi Yu's surname was Tantai, and it was rumored that he wasn't particularly handsome. Kong Shi had once said, 'Judging a man by his appearance is a mistake!' Who could have thought that his descendants would follow suit as well?
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at Nangong Yuanfeng. At this moment, Nangong Yuanfeng's face was a little pale, and his four disciples, Nangong Mo, and the others, looked a little sickly as well. From the looks of it, they hadn't fully recovered from their injuries yet.
"That's not right. Even though I sent him flying with a punch, I shouldn't have been able to injure him too severely. Why is he in such a state?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He hadn't used Kong Shi's blood essence when he fought with Nangong Yuanfeng. Even though he had managed to inflict some damage to Nangong Yuanfeng with his full-powered punch, he had unsealed his cultivation.
But why did it seem like Nangong Yuanfeng was severely injured as well?
"I am the head of the Zhang clan, Zhang Xuan. Welcome to the Zhang clan!"
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and announced loudly. This wasn't the time to be hesitating.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was being courteous, Nangong Yuanfeng and the others quickly descended from the sky.
"This way, please!"
With a smile, Zhang Xuan led the way into the hall.
After taking their seats, Nangong Yuanfeng said, "In order to prevent any unnecessary trouble, I'll get straight to the point. Since the Temple of Confucius is about to open, our Hundred Schools of Philosophers would like to enter to pay homage to the heritage left behind by the previous Sage. I heard that the Zhang clan possesses a Celestial Amulet of Legacy, and I was wondering if you would be willing to part with it. As long as you are willing to hand it over, we won't mistreat you. We're willing to trade for it with treasures of equal value! "
"You want the Celestial Amulet of Legacy? That's impossible! Our Zhang clan wishes to enter the Temple of Confucius as well. There's no room for negotiation! "
Hearing Nangong Yuanfeng's request, Heung Kensei's face darkened.
He was still wondering what the other party was going to do, but who would have thought that it would be this?
The Temple of Confucius was the greatest treasure that Kong Shi had left behind back then. If they missed this opportunity, they would be giving up on their standing … The Zhang clan possessed the Celestial Amulet of Legacy, so how could they possibly hand it over?
Even if the other party was from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, they would never agree to it!
"Since that's the case, let's see who's stronger then! Kong Shi encourages competition among his students. Since the Celestial Amulet of Legacy was left behind by him, it goes without saying that he hopes that the stronger ones will be able to obtain it. Only then will they be able to achieve greater things in the Temple of Confucius! "
Knowing that he would be rejected, Nangong Yuanfeng raised his head and said, "Since that's the case, we'll challenge your Zhang clan to a duel of comprehension of time. If your juniors below a hundred years of age are able to surpass our juniors, we'll drop the matter regarding the Celestial Amulet of Legacy, and our Hundred Schools of Philosophers is willing to use an artifact once used by an Ancient Sage as an apology! We'll resolve this matter. However, if you lose, we hope that you can hand the Celestial Amulet of Legacy over to us for safekeeping! "
"Challenge the Zhang clan to a duel of comprehension of time? Your disciples? "Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Of course not. It's Brother Tantai's disciples who are challenging you!"
Nangong Yuanfeng replied with a smile.
