"Let's take it then!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
He had been thinking that it would be great if he could take the Bodhi Saint Tree away with him so that he could make use of this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. Who could have thought that the koi would be able to do so?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The koi was the core of the poisonous gas world, and the poisonous gas world corresponded to the sleeping chamber. There was bound to be an inseparable relationship between the two, so there was bound to be a reason why Kong Shi wanted to keep the koi.
"Alright!"
Hearing those words, the koi flew out and dived into the pond in the garden.
Gugugugu!
The water in the pond began to swirl, forming a massive vortex.
The vortex slowly rose into the air and enveloped the Bodhi Saint Tree, pulling it out of the ground.
"This …"
Not expecting to be able to pluck such a valuable tree so easily, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
Hu la!
The tree and the pond were swiftly moved into the folded space and planted in an empty plot of land. Not too far away, a pond was formed. The koi swam within it, stirring up ripples from time to time.
Zhang Xuan quickly turned his gaze to the Bodhi Saint Tree, only to see that the newly planted Bodhi Saint Tree had not withered due to the relocation. Instead, its leaves were even more lush than before. It resonated with the Bodhi Saint Tree that the Hongyuan royal family had obtained previously, forming a pathway that could nourish one's soul and raise one's state of mind.
With this tree, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage …
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
With the Bodhi Saint Tree in the folded space, it would be much easier for him to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
Of course, the fastest way to do so would be to consume a Bodhi Saint Fruit. However, even though he was close to achieving a breakthrough in his state of mind, his cultivation was still far from reaching Ancient Sage. It would be a waste to consume a Bodhi Saint Fruit directly.
"Teacher …"
Seeing that the Bodhi Saint Tree had been taken away, Zhao Ya and the others turned to look at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"The rest of you should cultivate in the folded space as well!"
Without the Bodhi Saint Tree, there was no point in them remaining in the folded space. Zhang Xuan waved his hand and placed the three ladies into the folded space. He instructed them to cultivate in peace while he flew out of the sleeping chamber.
…
Hu hu hu!
Having their limbs broken, the eight young men from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were so furious that their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
"Gongxi Qing, what should we do now?"
After consuming the Grand Intermittence Pill, his fractured bones began to heal slowly. Unable to hold himself back any longer, a young man asked.
The young man by the name of Gongxi Qing was none other than the young man leading the group earlier, a descendant of Ancient Sage Zi Hua.
"We can't just let this go …"
Gongxi Qing gritted his teeth furiously.
As the descendants of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, in their eyes, the cultivators of the Master Teacher Continent were no different from natives.
Zhang Xuan should have been proud to be able to be used by them to enter the Temple of Confucius, but who could have thought that not only would they snatch away all of his treasures, they would even pummel him to such an extent? This was truly a crime punishable by death!
"You must punish him properly!"
"He might not be strong, but that Luo Qiqi isn't someone we can contend against!"
"Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan have both reached Sempiternal realm consummation. There's no way we can defeat them!"
…
The others also began to discuss.
As infuriated as they were, they knew that the three of them were simply too powerful for them to deal with at the moment.
"Of course we aren't a match for them. However, the old ancestor will surely intervene in the matter regarding the loss of the Bodhi Fruits. I'll send him a message right now …"
Gongxi Qing harrumphed as he took out a unique jade token and informed the old ancestor of what had just happened. However, he did not reveal who the culprit was. All he said was that the Bodhi Fruits had been snatched away, and they had sustained severe injuries.
Not too long after he sent the message, an overwhelming pressure suddenly swept over them, leaving them breathless.
Following which, a black silhouette suddenly appeared before them. Upon seeing the state that they were in, the black silhouette's face darkened. "What happened?"
With a tap of his finger, a droplet of blood seeped into the bodies of the eight young men. Under the nourishment of the blood essence, the severed limbs swiftly healed up.
This was the unique ability of Ancient Sage experts, Blood Regeneration!
The black silhouette was actually an Ancient Sage expert!
"Old ancestor, you must redress our grievances!"
Recovering from their injuries, Gongxi Qing and the others kneeled to the ground and kowtowed.
"Who did this?"
The black silhouette asked with narrowed eyes.
The black silhouette appeared to be in his sixties. He did not have a beard, but there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes. However, his face was slightly pale. It was hard to tell whether it was due to the backlash from traversing through space too quickly or if he had encountered some kind of danger.
"It's a master teacher from the Master Teacher Continent!"
Gongxi Qing gritted his teeth. "We were bringing Wei Ruyan here to hasten the ripening of the Bodhi Fruits, but that fellow suddenly appeared and snatched the fruits away from us. Not only that, he even injured us and broke our limbs!"
"Did you tell him who you were?"
"We did. We said that we were from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, and we had a use for the fruits. We even said that we would share a portion of the fruits with him as a reward, but that fellow still dared to make a move on us!" Gongxi Qing said.
"When did those from the Master Teacher Continent become so arrogant?"
The black silhouette bellowed furiously as his aura burst forth. A powerful might crushed down on the crowd, leaving them trembling in fear.
Both the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and the Mingshi Tang Faction had inherited the heritage of Kong Shi, so they were very particular about the rules. Their people had already ripened the Bodhi Fruits, but that fellow actually dared to snatch them away. How was that any different from the Otherworldly Demons?
"Old Ancestor, you must redress our grievances and kill that fellow!"
"Even if we don't kill him, we must at least break his limbs and let him know the price he has to pay!"
Seeing that their old ancestor was furious, the crowd roared furiously.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely redress your grievances!"
The black silhouette nodded. He spread his Spiritual Perception into the surroundings and said, "Who is the descendant of that master teacher who just entered? If he is, I'll have to ask you to give me an explanation. If not, don't blame me for not going easy on you! "
Hu!
A gust of wind blew, but there was no response at all.
"From the looks of it, he isn't the descendant of an Ancient Sage. Since he doesn't have anyone protecting him, don't blame me for not going easy on him!"
Seeing that no one was replying, the black silhouette harrumphed coldly. He was just about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard a commotion among his juniors.
"Old Ancestor, that fellow is out!"
Right after those words were spoken, the light in front of them flickered, and a figure abruptly appeared before them.
"We must teach him a lesson …" Gongshi Qing gritted his teeth.
But before he could finish his words, the old ancestor beside him suddenly froze on the spot. With a look of disbelief on his face, he asked, "The one who stole the Bodhi Fruits is that … Zhang Xuan?"
"That's right, that's him!" Gongshi Qing nodded.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first.
Hu!
Right after saying those words, the old ancestor of the black silhouette disappeared from sight.
"…" Gongshi Qing.
"…" The crowd.
