Considering how this Otherworldly Demon expert was able to force Kong shi into a corner, he had no choice but to resort to infiltrating the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Most likely, his strength had already surpassed that of most Ancient Sages!
"No one knows the full name of that Otherworldly Demon, and it hasn't been passed down either. All we know is that he's the strongest expert in the world, and he views the lives of others as nothing more than child's play. He's vicious, unpredictable, and temperamental.
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to ask such a question, Jiang Fangyou hesitated for a moment before replying, "As such, be it humans or Otherworldly Demons, they address him as … Vicious!"
"Vicious?"
Zhang Xuan's body swayed weakly.
As he had expected!
When he heard that Kong Shi was trapped in Chen Cai, he had already vaguely guessed it, but he hadn't thought that it would be true.
To think that the 'Little Vicious' sealed in his Book of Heaven's Path was once a formidable figure who had even given Kong Shi a huge headache!
In order to kill him, the soul oracles had even gone to the extent of enduring humiliation. Even to this day, there was no one who could defend him …
It was no wonder that fellow was so arrogant. He was indeed powerful when he was alive!
"Indeed. According to the news that the guild leader has sent over, Kong shi made preparations in advance, and after learning of Vicious' whereabouts, he set up an ambush. That battle was so intense that even the heavens and the earth collapsed. In the end, Vicious was killed by Kong shi, and not even his bones were left behind!"
Jiang Fangyou said.
Zhang Xuan fell silent.
Vicious' body had been torn into countless pieces, and he had collected quite a few of them. Naturally, he knew what had happened, but he didn't think that Vicious would have to go through so much just to kill him.
Most likely, Kong Shi had paid a heavy price as well.
"Mingshi Tang might not be aware of these matters, right? How do you know? "
A moment later, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
These matters were definitely top secrets, such that even Mingshi Tang's headquarters might not be aware of them. How did Zhang Xuan know so much about them?
He had read through the entire Jiang Clan's book collection vault, and if there were any records, he would have known about them long ago. However, if there weren't any records, how could they have been passed down for tens of thousands of years?
"Soul Seal!" Jiang Fangyou said. "Kong Shi has left these matters in the Imprint of Souls. As long as one becomes the head of the Jiang Clan, one will be able to bring the Clan Head Token into contact with the Imprint of Souls, and through the Imprint of Souls, one will be able to learn of the origins of one's clansmen. It's due to this that we are able to learn of the great contributions that our predecessors have made tens of thousands of years later …"
"I see …" Zhang Xuan sighed.
That's true.
Meritorious deeds could not be buried in history.
The soul oracles had sacrificed themselves for mankind. If their descendants didn't know of this, how could they possibly speak up for them?
If he were to impart these deeds to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, if news of it were to leak out, the soul oracles in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would be in grave danger. In fact … they might even be killed.
There was no way Kong shi could do anything about it. Eventually, he could only leave the news in the Seal of Souls so that it could be passed down to the later generations. He hoped that one day, after the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was vanquished, he would be able to redeem the legacy of the soul oracles.
"The Jiang Clan originates from the soul oracles, and we are the descendants of that guild leader. His blood flows in our veins! Thus, whoever is able to grasp the Imprint of Souls will be qualified to become the new guild leader, and the clan will listen to him unconditionally! "
Jiang Fangyou said.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
At this moment, the other elders also fell silent.
They only knew that the Jiang Clan originated from the soul oracles, but they weren't too sure about the details. It was only after hearing the explanation from their clan head that they finally understood what was going on.
"To think that our ancestors were actually soul oracles …"
Jiang Feifei also fell silent, and her eyes reddened.
All along, she had prided herself on being a master teacher, and she hated the soul oracles. She hated the occupation that treated human lives as a joke.
It was only at this moment that she realized that this occupation that she had always looked down upon had once made such a huge contribution to mankind!
Without them, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe might still be on the Master Teacher Continent, and mankind would still be helpless against them.
"Since Zhang Shi has comprehended the Soul Quintessence and is able to take away the Imprint of Souls, there's no doubt that he will become the next clan leader. No one will dare to say anything about it!"
Jiang Fangyou said.
"Indeed. Zhang Shi was able to comprehend the Time, Space, and Soul Quintessence. On top of that, he was able to do something that even Mingshi Tang was impressed by. Perhaps, you are the only one who can clear the name of the soul oracles and allow them to walk under the light once more!"
"As the descendants of the soul oracles, we have been waiting for this moment for far too long!"
"I beseech that Zhang Shi won't turn us down …"
…
The elders stood up and clasped their fists respectfully.
The Jiang Clan was a bloodline heritage, but the Soul Oracle Guild wasn't.
Controlling the Imprint of Souls was equivalent to becoming the head of the Soul Oracle Guild. Over the past several dozen millenniums, only a single person had been able to do so. Their ancestor had been humiliated for far too long, and as a descendant of the Jiang Clan, they couldn't allow that to continue.
They couldn't allow their hero to shed more tears.
Even though the people of the Master Teacher Continent were unaware of the relationship between the Jiang Clan and the soul oracles …
"This …"
Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before nodding. "There's no problem with me becoming the head of the Jiang Clan. However … Clan Head Jiang Fangyou, there's something that I'm still a little confused about. I hope that you can help me clear it up."
"Feel free to speak," Jiang Fangyou replied earnestly.
"When I came to the Jiang Clan earlier today, I happened to see you interacting with a scholarly young man. I have seen him before, and I have even exchanged blows with him twice. If I'm not mistaken, he's an Otherworldly Demon!"
Zhang Xuan voiced out the doubts in his heart.
If what Jiang Fangyou said was true, there was no way that their descendants would betray the soul oracles and bring shame to the efforts of their ancestors.
But … how could they explain the scholarly young man?
"Scholarly young man? Is Zhang Shi referring to Yan Xue? "
Jiang Fangyou was taken aback for a moment before asking.
"Yan Xue?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"Indeed. He isn't an Otherworldly Demon but a descendant of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers' Ancient Sage Zi Yuan. His cultivation has already reached Great Sage Sempiternal realm pinnacle, and it's said that he's an expert on the Heaven Board!"
Jiang Fangyou explained.
"A descendant of Ancient Sage Zi Yuan? The number one direct disciple of Kong shi … Ancient Sage Zi Yuan? "Zhang Xuan's body jolted in astonishment." How is that possible? I saw him together with the Otherworldly Demons with my own eyes! "
He was completely flabbergasted.
The first time he met the scholarly young man was at the White Creek Mountain. During the fight for the Celestial Amulet of Legacy, one of the four of them had revealed his true form as an Otherworldly Demon.
The second time he met him was at the Seer Guild in Harvest Valley City. Not only did he encounter several Otherworldly Demons, there was even an Otherworldly Demon among them …
If the scholarly young man was a descendant of Ancient Sage Zi Yuan, why would he be with so many Otherworldly Demons?
On top of that, he was helping one another!
"This … Some time ago, he came to look for me and entrusted me with the task of contacting the ancestors of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. As for what I was supposed to do, the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were extremely secretive about it. As such, I'm not too sure! "
Jiang Fangyou said.
