"Wait for me …"
But before he could reach the entrance of the cavern, a shout suddenly sounded from below. Following which, he saw an alluring figure rushing over and grabbing his arm.
"Hu Yaoyao?"
Zhang Xuan was speechless.
It was none other than that familiar face of his … Hu Yaoyao!
"This friend, it's very dangerous up there. It's better for you to stay here!" With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xuan was about to send the girl down.
While speaking with the elder earlier, he had learned that there were not only Sempiternal realm experts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe lurking in the vicinity of the Subordinate Halls of the Temple of Confucius. There was a good chance that even Ancient Sages were lurking in the vicinity of the Subordinate Halls of the Temple of Confucius. Given that the young man was only at Saint 9-dan, it would be best for him to remain here.
In any case, he was in disguise, so the other party wouldn't know who he was.
Just as he was about to make a move, a telepathic message sounded in his ears. "Zhang Xuan, if you dare to throw me down, I'll run to your Zhang family and accuse you of molesting me. I'll make you take responsibility for me …"
"Pu!"
Zhang Xuan almost fainted. "How did you know it was me?"
His disguise was flawless, such that not even Ancient Sages would be able to see through his disguise. How could a mere Saint 9-dan pinnacle cultivator possibly see through his disguise?
Most importantly … they even went to the Zhang family to cause trouble …
The two of them had a conflict like this when they were in Hongyuan Academy. However, he was the one who had shouted "molested" back then … This girl wouldn't hold a grudge against him, right?
But … given the other party's personality, he might really do it.
He was the head of the Three Clans, the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, and the Nine Stars Master Teacher Pavilion … If a woman were to barge into his house and molest him, he would be a goner!
Most importantly, what if Lozosy misunderstood?
"It's dangerous up there. Think about it carefully. If you really want to go, I can take you …"
Shaking his head helplessly, he sent a telepathic message over.
"I want to go!"
Hu Yaoyao gritted her teeth.
"Alright!"
Seeing that the other party was persistent, Zhang Xuan knew that he wouldn't be able to shake him off, so he grabbed the other party lightly.
Huala!
The two of them morphed into streaks of light as they slipped out of the broken seal. As soon as they vanished, the seal swiftly reverted back to its original state, and the sealed space became as tough as steel once more. Even Sempiternal realm experts wouldn't be able to escape from it.
Seeing that everything had returned to normal, those who had been captured earlier quickly stood up.
He had thought that death was inevitable, but now that the Otherworldly Demons had been killed and his benefactor had left, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Senior, what should we do now?"
Everyone turned to look at the old man who had just spoken to Zhang Xuan.
His strength was the strongest among the group, and he had the most right to speak.
After a moment of contemplation, the elder said, "Since the Otherworldly Demons have been killed, there should be no more danger. I think it would be best for us to focus on our cultivation as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't have the opportunity to do so anymore once we leave the Temple of Confucius …"
To be honest, there was no way he would dare to venture into the Temple of Confucius. Since that was the case, he might as well cultivate here and try his best to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.
"Yeah!"
Everyone also came to a realization.
After experiencing danger once, they knew that biting off more than they could chew would only harm them. Thus, they no longer felt conflicted.
"Xuan Zhang … I didn't think that there would be such a formidable young man on the Master Teacher Continent. To think that he would be on par with Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shi …"
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze on the spot. "Xuan Zhang, Zhang Xuan … I think I'm getting it now …"
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
Experts were indeed unconventional in their dealings.
Could this name of his be any more fake?
As long as one was a person, they should be able to figure it out eventually.
Was it to let others know that it was him, or to keep it a secret from them?
With this favor, I'll have to serve the Zhang family in the future …
Zhang Xuan thought.
He had to repay the favor of saving his life. Since he had already found out about the other party's identity, he would have to enter the Zhang family in the future and repay the favor for the rest of his life.
…
Hu!
Passing through the seal, Zhang Xuan and Hu Yaoyao landed on the ground simultaneously.
A huge building was vaguely floating in front of them. It was visible to the naked eye.
"We're here?"
Hu Yaoyao shook her head as she stood up.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
The laws of space here were much more rigid than those in the forest, desert, and snowy realms. Even with his current strength, he was still unable to fly.
Previously, he could tear through space with a flick of his finger, but here, he could only obediently walk on foot.
"Is that the Temple of Confucius?"
Hu Yaoyao asked as she tidied her clothes.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
It seemed like the old man was right. As long as they passed through the seal, they would be able to reach the Temple of Confucius. However, it would be best for them not to rush over so quickly. They would have to get to the bottom of the situation first.
This was a passageway opened by the Otherworldly Demons. If an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage were to stand guard at the entrance, they could very well die before they knew it.
Hula!
The bound Bei Hong appeared before Zhang Xuan.
"Soul Search!"
Knowing that it was impossible for the other party to answer his questions, Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to waste his time here. Thus, he began Soul Searching the other party.
Hu!
Information swiftly flowed into Zhang Xuan's mind.
Just as the old man had said, the Temple of Confucius was indeed divided into six worlds. If one were to walk through the exit or entrance, they would end up going in circles, never to leave.
This was what Sovereign Chen Yong had told them.
As for why he was unable to communicate with the Temple of Confucius, it probably had something to do with the altar.
After all, the Spirit God was simply too powerful. Even though Kong Shi was the one who had personally set up the Temple of Confucius, it was unlikely that it would be able to conceal the existence of the Spirit God.
"Since Sovereign Chen Yong has sent me a message, it's likely that he's also in here!"
Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows in worry.
Previously, Mingshi Tang had said that an Emperor of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had secretly infiltrated the Master Teacher Continent, but no one had seen him before. From the looks of it, that person was most likely Sovereign Chen Yong!
"Sovereign Chen Yong's order to spare the lives of master teachers … I wonder what is Sovereign Chen Yong's intention?"
Knowing that there was a good chance that this expert was in the vicinity of the Temple of Confucius, Zhang Xuan felt immense pressure weighing down on him. Following which, he took a look at the other command that Bei Hong had received.
During his trip to the Catacombs, he knew that the Three Great Sovereigns of the Mutated Spirits were divided into three factions.
On the other hand, Sovereign Chen Yong was from the conservative faction, and he did not advocate for war. On the other hand, Sovereign Chen Ling was from the more radical faction, and he believed that only by launching an attack would he be able to gain the upper hand in the war! As for Sovereign Chen Xing, it was likely that he was a fence-sitter. He had allied with Sovereign Chen Yong and Sovereign Chen Ling before.
Since he was a member of the Conservative Faction, it was likely that he had his own views on the matter. This was especially so considering that Sovereign Chen Xing was present as well. It was understandable that he did not want to fall out with Mingshi Tang.
Soon, Zhang Xuan finished browsing through all of the useful information in Bei Hong's head.
Bei Hong had only received an order to lead his tribe to the vicinity of the Temple of Confucius to exploit the altar. As for the rest of the information, it was hard to say whether it was due to Sovereign Chen Yong's incompetence or some other reason, so he did not know much about it.
After completing the Soul Search, Zhang Xuan slapped the Otherworldly Demon lightly and killed him.
Those of a different race were bound to harbor ill intentions.
He did not have the slightest goodwill toward such people.
Raising his head, Zhang Xuan was just about to check if there was any danger when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. A jade token appeared in his hand, and a line of words slowly appeared on it.
"Xuan-er, come here as soon as you see this message. I've found Zhao Ya's whereabouts …"
