"The Jiang family?"
Zhang Xuan slapped his forehead.
Why didn't I think of him?
Of the three major clans, the Zhang family specialized in time, the Luo family specialized in space, and the Jiang family specialized in the soul.
Back then, after the extinction of the soul oracles, the soul cultivation of the Master Teacher Continent had been cut short. It was the founder of the Jiang Clan who stood at the forefront, comprehending the Soul Quintessence and creating a soul cultivation technique.
Previously, when he went to the Luo Clan to fetch the bride, he had met their clan head, Jiang Fangyou, and when he challenged the Tower of Master Teachers in the Sanctum of Sages, he had also crossed blows with the genius of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Feifei.
It was just that Zhang Xuan didn't expect the other party's clan to be only half a day's journey away from the Zhang family.
"Clan head, are you intending to cultivate soul-related martial arts?" the elder asked curiously.
"I've been making too much progress recently, so my soul has become a little unstable. I'd like to learn some soul-related secret arts to strengthen my soul so that I can push for a breakthrough to a higher realm …"
Zhang Xuan.
The elder nodded his head.
It was indeed possible for one's cultivation to advance too quickly. The last time the clan head came, he was only at Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm. Yet, in just a short period of time, he had already reached Saint 9-dan pinnacle. His rate of improvement was indeed too fast. While it might not be a problem for him to advance his cultivation realm at the same cultivation realm, it was inevitable that he would face all kinds of problems if he were to push for higher realms.
"While the relationship between the Zhang clan and the Jiang clan isn't too deep, they are both top-tier powers of the Master Teacher Continent. If you wish to learn from them, as long as you don't get too involved with them, I believe that they won't turn you down!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
But that was to be expected. His current standing was no longer the same as before. Even if the Zhang Clan's soul art was a secret that was not passed down to outsiders, as the head of the Zhang clan, the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, and Yang shi's senior, it was unlikely that he would turn down a request from him.
After bidding farewell to the elder, Zhang Xuan bade farewell to Lozosy before whipping out the Dragonbone Divine Spear and leaving the area.
He had already found out the exact location of the Jiang Clan, so it did not take long for him to arrive at the outskirts of a city. Similar to the Zhang clan, it occupied an area of several mu, and was many times larger than the Empire Alliance.
The Jiang family!
One of the continent's first-rate forces, one of the three great clans!
"Indeed, every big family is not to be underestimated!"
Looking around, Zhang Xuan could not help but exclaim in awe at the sight of the town-like residence surrounded by formations and spiritual energy.
He had been to the Luo Clan and the Zhang family. They had all kinds of spell formations set up there. Even a Great Saint would suffer a great loss if he tried to break through them rashly. It was obvious that the Jiang family was the same.
However, formations posed no threat to him at all. As long as he activated the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be able to deal with them easily.
Just as he was about to hand over his name card to have someone report to him, his eyes suddenly narrowed. His silhouette blurred, and he found himself hiding behind a lush tree.
Looking through the lush foliage, Zhang Xuan saw a silhouette appearing in the sky above the Jiang Clan Manor.
Following which, Clan Head Jiang Fangyou flew out to welcome Zhang Xuan respectfully. Following which, the two of them descended together.
"Why is he here? Could it be that … the Jiang Clan is colluding with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe? "
Zhang Xuan's face darkened, but he didn't charge forward. Instead, he narrowed his eyes.
The silhouette that had appeared earlier was no other than the scholarly young man whom he had met twice in the White Creek Mountain and the Seer Guild.
Why would that fellow appear here?
Given that the head of the Jiang Clan had personally come out to welcome him, it was clear that the relationship between the two of them was not simple.
"Let's head over to take a look!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan scanned the area with his Eye of Insight before taking a step forward.
Even though he did not have many trump cards at the moment, making it difficult for him to sneak into the Jiang Clan while concealing his aura due to his comprehension of the Spatial Quintessence, it would not be easy for the scholarly young man to notice him.
Hula!
Ripples appeared in the space before Zhang Xuan as he walked straight into the Jiang Clan Manor.
Most of the guards guarding the entrance were at Saint 3-dan and Saint 4-dan, but not a single one of them noticed him. It was as if he did not exist at all.
This was a unique manipulation of space.
By sealing off a portion of space, it would not produce any energy ripples or even reflect light. As long as one's cultivation and comprehension of space did not exceed that of a cultivator, it would be impossible for them to notice him.
After passing through several courtyards, Zhang Xuan finally came to a halt before a grand hall.
Ahead of him was where the head of the Jiang Clan and the scholarly young man had landed. Even though Zhang Xuan had a deep comprehension of space, he did not dare to get too close to them.
Concealing himself, Zhang Xuan took a look into the grand hall, and as expected, he saw the duo standing in the middle of the hall, seemingly discussing something.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan focused his attention, and a moment later, he heard intermittent sounds of conversation.
"… That's all? I got it! "
The scholarly young man nodded. "You mustn't make any mistakes. Once this matter succeeds, the world will change, and my wish of many years will be fulfilled!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Jiang Fangyou nodded.
"It's good that you understand. You have to be careful as well. A huge battle is bound to break out soon, so make sure to prepare yourself!"
Without saying anything more, the fair-skinned young man shook his head and flew away.
Seeing that the scholarly young man had left so quickly, Zhang Xuan did not dare to move in the slightest. He retracted his aura and folded the surrounding space so as to not leave any traces behind.
Lowering his head to take a look, the scholarly young man did not think too much about it. In the blink of an eye, he had already vanished from the spot.
"Sigh!"
Watching the scholarly young man's departure, Jiang Fangyou sighed deeply. A complicated look surfaced in his eyes as he walked out of the grand hall as well. Most likely, he had gone to make arrangements.
"The Jiang Clan is colluding with the other party. Could it be that they have betrayed mankind as well?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed further and further as he watched the two of them leave.
The Jiang Clan was one of the Three Premier Clans. While it could not compare to the Zhang clan or the Luo Clan, it was still a respected clan on the Master Teacher Continent. There were countless master teachers in the Jiang Clan … Why would they betray mankind to collude with that fellow?
He had met the scholarly young man twice. Even though he had not seen his true appearance, the fact that the other party was with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe made it clear that he was the other party.
It would be hard for him not to suspect the other party's identity.
"A huge battle … What is that fellow up to? Could it be that … he's plotting against Mingshi Tang and the Master Teacher Continent? "
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
He had no idea what that fellow was up to, but the fact that he had stolen Vicious' skeleton and brought an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage to the Master Teacher Continent meant that he was up to something big! If a calamity were to befall the Master Teacher Continent, the Zhang clan, the Luo Clan, the Sanctum of Sages, and the Xuanxuan Faction would not be spared!
No egg could remain unscathed under the destruction of the entire nest.
Since he had discovered such a matter, he had to stop it no matter what.
"It's just that … I'm still too weak at the moment …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
If he still had a single droplet of Kong Shi's blood essence, he would have surely chased after that fellow and killed him on the spot.
"Since the Jiang Clan has betrayed mankind, I won't bother with the rules anymore. I should head to the library first and finish browsing through the books there!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan rose into the air and scanned his surroundings before heading in a certain direction.
