"You want him to become our clan head? Is our clan head out of his mind? "
"That won't do!"
Luo Ganzhen and the others were astonished.
While they were impressed by Zhang Xuan's magnanimity and forgave him for reneging on the engagement, that did not mean that they could accept him as their clan head.
"Brother Zhang has comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, and he is even more proficient than I am in it. More importantly, he has obtained Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage. Since Ancient Sage Qiu Wu has acknowledged you, our Luo Clan has no choice but to accept him as our clan head!"
Luo Tianya said.
"But …" Zhang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands.
Luo Tianya turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Brother Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, you have just become the head of the Jiang Clan, right?"
"This … That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded. With a flick of his wrist, a token appeared in the air. It was the Jiang Clan's Clan Head Token.
"The head of the Jiang Clan?"
"Why would the Jiang Clan appoint an outsider as their clan head?"
Luo Ganzhen and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
What was happening right before their eyes was too surreal. It had already exceeded their imagination.
"You have comprehended the Soul Quintessence, and the Jiang Clan is willing to appoint you as their clan head. Naturally, our Luo Clan is willing to do the same as well! Furthermore, now that the calamity is upon us, if we want the three great clans to work closely together without any ill feelings, this is definitely the best way! "
Luo Tianya clasped his fist. "Brother Zhang, I hope that you won't turn me down. Besides, I heard that your lectures at the Jiang Clan and the Zhang clan have helped countless people achieve breakthroughs. If you become the head of the Luo Clan, I hope that you can treat our Luo Clan equally and make our Luo Clan stronger! "
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
He wasn't the only one. The crowd from the Luo Clan also fell silent.
Even though they harbored grudges against Zhang Xuan, the latter's teaching ability was indeed unparalleled. Most likely, only Kong Shi from back then could match up to him.
Putting everything aside, just the standing and strength of his students could be seen.
With such a master teacher as the head of the Luo Clan, their clansmen would surely advance swiftly.
If they were to turn him down, they would be left far behind by the Zhang Clan and the Jiang Clan.
With a flick of his wrist, Luo Tianya took out the Luo Clan's Clan Head Token and said earnestly, "If Brother Zhang agrees to it, I'll be able to leave without any worries!"
"This … Never mind! I can take care of him for now. When … someone in the Luo Clan is able to inherit the position, I'll naturally hand over the position of Clan Head to him! "
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before taking the token from Zhang Xuan.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang … In that case, farewell!"
Hu!
After doing all this, Luo Tianya didn't hesitate any longer. With a leap, he flew straight into the sky and vanished before everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
"Sigh! It's not that I'm greedy for power, but the Three Premier Clans have to work together in order to stand against the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Otherwise, the Three Premier Clans will eventually be wiped out from the annals of history! "
Seeing him leave, Zhang Xuan sighed and shook his head. With a complicated expression, he turned around and disappeared, as if he had never been there.
After the two of them left, Luo Ganzhen and the others emerged from their hiding spot.
"Acting Clan Leader …"
Everyone turned to look at Luo Tianya.
"Tianya is right. If we want our Luo Clan to remain standing amidst the chaos, we can only rely on Zhang Xuan," Luo Ganzhen said with a complicated look on his face.
"He's only a Saint 9-dan cultivator!"
An elder exclaimed indignantly.
"He's indeed only a Saint 9-dan cultivator, but he's the senior of Mingshi Tang, Yang shi! He's the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, the teacher of the Progeny of Combat of the Combat Master Hall, the Poison Temple, the Glacier Plain Court, the Yuan Clan, and the Spirit Awakener Guild are all under his command! Adding on the Zhang family and the Jiang Clan, that's one of the strongest powers on the Master Teacher Continent! If the Luo Clan misses out on this opportunity, it's likely that we'll truly fall into decline! "
Luo Ganzhen said.
It was true that a single Zhang Xuan did not represent much, but he had too many identities at his disposal. The students that he taught wielded great influence as well.
Even Mingshi Tang might not be able to rally as much support as he did.
It was indeed the best solution to have such a person become the clan leader.
"You mean to say that … we'll acknowledge him as our clan leader?"
The elder asked with a bitter look on his face.
What the heck was this?
Yet, not only did they fail to do so, they ended up acknowledging the other party as their clan leader instead …
The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt.
"It's all for the sake of our clan!" Knowing what the elder was thinking, Luo Ganzhen consoled. "Let's hurry back. Tianya should be waiting for us by now …"
Without any hesitation, the crowd hurriedly returned to their residence, and as expected, they saw Luo Tianya sitting in his room with a dejected look on his face.
"Everyone …"
Luo Tianya hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
"Clan head, there's no need to say anything. Appointing Zhang Xuan as our clan leader is indeed the best choice we can make. We won't turn him down …" Luo Ganzhen clasped his fist.
"Since you already know about it, I won't say anything more. This is the Qiu Wu Ancient Domain that Zhang Xuan gave me. Leave it in the clan and pass it down!"
Seeing that they had already learned of the matter, Luo Tianya stood up and said, "I'll be leaving this time, and it's very likely that I won't be returning for the rest of my life. In the future, I'll have to heed Zhang Shi's commands and make the Luo Clan stronger!"
After saying those words, without waiting for a reply, Luo Tianya leaped forward and vanished before everyone's eyes.
Watching Luo Tianya's departure, the crowd from the Luo Clan was at a loss for words.
…
"Has our son returned?"
In the main hall of the Zhang clan, Sword Saint Meng was pacing around the room with a deep frown on her forehead.
"Reporting to Madam, our clan head has just returned, but I'm not too sure where he went this time!" an elder reported.
"That brat! Even though the Luo Clan is here to slap our faces, he still managed to keep his composure and run around …"
Sword Saint Meng harrumphed coldly.
The Luo Clan had caused such a huge commotion even before they had arrived, and it was clear that they were here to cause trouble. Yet, as the person in question, he was actually not at home at all …
"Xuan-er has always been a quick-witted person. There's no doubt that he has his reasons for doing so. After all, we were the ones at a disadvantage against the Luo Clan in the first place …"
Heung Kensei shook his head and said, "It's only right for us to avoid them for a while. Otherwise, it'll be awkward for both sides to meet!"
"There's nothing wrong with avoiding them, but surely we can't just ignore them forever! If you ask me, I would have married both Lozosy and Luo Qiqi at the same time. That way, there wouldn't be so much trouble … "
Sword Saint Meng harrumphed coldly. Just as she was about to continue speaking, an elder suddenly rushed into the room.
"Old clan head, Madam …"
As soon as the elder entered the room, he bowed deeply and said, "The matter with the Luo Clan has been resolved …"
The two of them were taken aback. Heung Kensei quickly turned his gaze over and asked, "How did you resolve it?"
In their view, this should have been an extremely difficult situation to resolve unless the Luo Clan had a duel with Luo Tianya. But why had the matter been resolved before they had even heard of a duel?
"This … The Luo Clan …"
The elder who had just entered the room had a bizarre look on his face. "They acknowledged Clan Head Zhang Xuan as their clan head!"
"They acknowledged Xuan-er as their clan head?"
The Xingmeng Sword Saints glanced at one another in bewilderment.
