"Our clan head isn't a match for him!"
Luo Ganzhen said with a bitter look on his face.
"Indeed. It's clear that Zhang Xuan is saving our clan head some face. Otherwise, he would have been defeated within twenty moves!"
Luo Qingchen nodded.
"I admit defeat!"
Shortly after those words were spoken, on the dueling ring, Luo Tianya was already panting heavily with a depressed look on his face.
It seemed like he could not believe the outcome either.
"Brother Luo, there's no need to take it to heart. In truth, our fighting prowess isn't that far apart …" Zhang Xuan walked up to Luo Tianya and said earnestly, "How about we consider it a draw today?"
"A loss is a loss. If I, Luo Tianya, can't even acknowledge this fact, I might as well change my surname to Zhang!"
Luo Tianya shook his head. "However, the reason why I lost isn't because my Luo Clan's Spatial Quintessence of Sealing is inferior to your Zhang clan's but because of my own ability!"
"Brother Luo, you're being too polite!"
Zhang Xuan replied earnestly. "The Spatial Quintessence of Time and Spatial Quintessence are equally matched. I don't mean to look down on the Luo Clan; on the contrary, I respect them deeply. The reason why I was able to defeat you by a stroke is because I used the Luo Clan's Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, and my comprehension of it far surpasses yours!"
"What do you mean?"
Luo Tianya raised his head doubtfully.
"I believe that Brother Luo should have noticed it as well. The Spatial Quintessence of Sealing that I executed is the same as yours," Zhang Xuan explained.
"This …" Luo Tianya was stunned for a moment before he finally came to a realization. "That's right. How do you know the Luo Clan's Spatial Quintessence of Sealing?"
"The Spatial Quintessence of Sealing was comprehended by the founder of the Luo Clan, but it was actually inherited by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu! I have inherited the heritage of Ancient Sage Qiu Wu, so it's not surprising that I'm able to execute the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing! "
Zhang Xuan.
"Ancient Sage Qiu Wu?" Luo Tianya could hardly believe what he was hearing.
"This is the ancient domain left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu!"
Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and an average-sized crystal ball appeared before Luo Tianya. The aura emanating from it felt as if it was a folded space.
A moment later, Luo Tianya's body jolted, and a hint of envy surfaced in his eyes. "It's really left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu … Brother Zhang's luck sure is incredible!"
"I only managed to obtain the Spatial Quintessence by chance. The reason why there are so few people in your Luo Clan who have comprehended the Spatial Quintessence isn't because they lack talent but because the heritage that they have received is incomplete."
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "This Qiu Wu Palace contains the complete Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu. I'll gift it to you today, Brother Luo. I believe that it will be of greater use in your hands than in mine!"
Looking at the crystal ball that appeared in his palm, Luo Tianya was shocked. He hurriedly shook his head, "How did you use this …"
Who on the Master Teacher Continent would not want the heritage of an Ancient Sage?
She had given it to him so casually. Her kindness was so great that it was difficult to measure.
Luo Ganzhen and the other elders also glanced at one another in bewilderment.
The heritage of the Luo Clan originated from Ancient Sage Qiu Wu. If they could obtain the complete Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel, they would surely be able to advance their cultivation swiftly. Even if they were unable to comprehend the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, their fighting prowess would surely soar.
Just that … there was a grudge between the two clans, and they had come here to slap the Luo Clan's face. Yet, not only did the other party disregard their grudges, he even gave them such a valuable gift.
In an instant, the crowd felt deeply ashamed.
"Don't be in a hurry to decline. Brother Luo, let me finish!"
Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and said grimly. "The space around the Temple of Confucius is in a state of turmoil, and it could appear at any moment. I believe that Brother Luo should be aware of it!"
"Un."
Luo Tianya nodded.
"It's clear that the Hundred Schools of Philosophers have come to challenge our Master Teacher Continent to steal the Celestial Amulet of Legacy. Even though they failed this time around, Kong Shi's treasure is at stake, so there's no doubt that they won't give up so easily. Furthermore, based on our observations over the past few days, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has sent experts to the Master Teacher Continent. In fact, even the Otherworldly Demonic Emperor has infiltrated the Master Teacher Continent! "
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. "The Master Teacher Continent has already reached a critical juncture. Once war breaks out, putting aside our two Premier Clans, even the entire human race on the Master Teacher Continent will face a great calamity … At such a juncture, we shouldn't be fighting one another. Instead, we should help one another and tide through this crisis together! Otherwise, if we allow outsiders to invade the Master Teacher Continent, we'll only bring pain to our loved ones and pleasure to our enemies! "
Luo Tianya fell silent.
"The reason why the Three Premier Clans have been able to stand on the Master Teacher Continent for tens of thousands of years without falling is due to our mutual assistance against our enemies! I, Zhang Xuan, was in the wrong when I annulled the engagement back then, but I didn't do it on purpose. Love isn't something that can be achieved through a forceful marriage. "
"Ruoxin and I have already sworn a vow to one another. If I were to agree to the little princess recklessly, wouldn't I be going back on my word? If I were such a person, even if I were to marry Qiqi, I would only end up hurting her, and I would be letting down the Luo Clan. Over the past few days, I have been unable to sleep in peace … I'll take the Qiu Wu Palace and the Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel as an apology. I hope that Brother Luo won't turn me down, or else I'll really be too ashamed to show my face … "
Zhang Xuan.
"Brother Zhang, since that's the case, I won't put on an act!"
Luo Tianya said as he took the crystal ball and stowed it into his storage ring.
"He didn't do it on purpose …"
"That's true. If he had really forcefully married the little princess back then, he would have been too heartless!"
"It seems like he didn't intend to sully our Luo Clan's reputation!"
"We were only thinking about our reputation, but he was thinking about mankind. His magnanimity isn't something that we can compare to!"
The hidden members of the Luo Clan fell silent once more, and their faces reddened in embarrassment.
They had been thinking about the Luo Clan all this while, but in truth, they hadn't thought about it from the other party's point of view. If the other party had really gone back on his word, would he be able to bring happiness to the little princess even if he were to marry her?
That might not necessarily be the case!
"Thank you, Brother Luo!"
Zhang Xuan bowed deeply.
"I'll make sure to explain Brother Zhang's goodwill to me when we return!" Luo Tianya pondered for a moment before seemingly coming to a decision. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Brother Zhang, there's actually something that I would like to ask of you!"
"Feel free to speak, Brother Luo!"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he replied, "As long as it's within my means, I won't turn you down!"
"I have an important matter to attend to, and it's very likely that I won't be able to return once I leave this place. Even though it hasn't been long since I became the head of the Luo Clan, I don't wish for the clan to fall because of this …"
Luo Tianya said with a dark expression.
"You won't be able to return? Brother Luo, are you heading to some ancient domain, or are you heading there to exact your vengeance? If you need my help, feel free to give me a call … "Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he clasped his fist.
"I appreciate Brother Zhang's goodwill, but this is my private matter, and it isn't convenient for outsiders to interfere in it. Besides, I've already made up my mind to die, so I'm willing to die even if I have to!"
Luo Tianya shook his head grimly. "Brother Zhang, this isn't what I'm asking of you!"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Tianya flicked his wrist, and a token appeared in his palm. It floated quietly in the air. It was the Luo Clan's Clan Head Token.
"I hope that … Brother Zhang can replace me as the head of the Luo Clan. This way, even if I die, I'll be able to rest in peace!"
"You want me to become the head of the Luo Clan?" Zhang Xuan's body jolted in astonishment.
