"What's going on?"
Everyone was stunned. Ancient Sage Yan Qing's eyebrows shot up as he hurriedly rushed forward.
They were the top geniuses of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, so how could they be injured before even entering the Temple of Confucius?
Furthermore, it seemed like they had suffered a backlash when they barged into the Prime Hall.
The Prime Hall had opened, and they had the Prime Amulet in their hands … All of the conditions had been met!
Perplexed, Ancient Sage Yan flicked his finger, and a few pills flew over.
The crowd from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers only felt themselves recovering slightly after consuming the pills.
The fact that the seal around the Temple of Confucius was able to fend off an Ancient Sage showed just how powerful it was. If not for Kong Shi's reluctance to kill, they would have already lost their lives by now.
Even Ancient Sages would not be spared!
If not for that, they would have long worked together to break the seal. There was no need for them to waste their breath here.
Mingshi Tang and the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were very particular about rules, but the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and the Beast Tribe did not.
"Why was it attacked?"
Seeing that the others had recovered, Ancient Sage Yan Qing turned to look at Yan Xue with a deep frown.
As the culprit, he should know what was going on.
Yan Xue hesitated for a moment before replying, "Old ancestor, it seems like the Prime Amulet is unable to withstand the seal!"
Even with Yuan Tao's bloodline, he had been able to enter the Apricot Altar easily without being attacked. It felt as if the Prime Amulet was completely useless to him.
"It's unable to withstand the seal?" Ancient Sage Yan Qing frowned. He raised his hand, and the Prime Amulet floating above everyone's heads appeared in his grasp.
Huala!
Under the augmentation of his strength, the majestic amulet immediately dissipated into tiny fragments, as if a piece of paper that had just been burnt.
"This … is a fake?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing's eyebrows shot up, and his face paled.
No matter how foolish he was, it was clear that the Prime Amulet was a fake.
Otherwise, how could an artifact forged by Kong Shi be reduced to dust without much effort?
In the end, it turned out to be a fake Prime Amulet …
Ancient Sage Yan Qing felt as if he had been slapped multiple times on his cheeks.
To think that the Hundred Schools of Philosophers would make such a huge blunder. He really had no idea what he should do.
"Are you certain that this is the amulet you obtained from the Master Teacher Continent's White Creek Mountain?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he glared at Yan Xue and bellowed furiously.
He was the one who had found this artifact. If it was truly the ancient domain left behind by Ancient Sage Ran Qiu, how could it possibly be fake?
"It's absolutely true …"
Yan Xue nodded. Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused for a moment before continuing, "Back then, it was Zhang Xuan who fought with us for the Heaven's Path Artifact. After I obtained it, fearing that something might happen to me, I immediately left …"
"He's competing with you?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing turned to look at Zhang Xuan once more.
It was already shocking enough that this fellow could take out five array cores at once. Could it be that Yan Xue obtaining a fake Prime Talisman had something to do with this?
The Prime Amulet was in the White Creek Mountain. This was a message left behind by the ancestors, so there was no way it could be wrong. Since they had obtained a fake one, could the real one be in the hands of this fellow as well?
If that's the case, I'll be screwed …
"Zhang Shi, do you know what's going on?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing asked.
"That … He's right. Back then, we were all on the White Creek Mountain, and Brother Yan Xue saw a fake amulet and immediately fled. No matter how we tried to stop him, we couldn't do anything to stop him.
In the end, he could only take the real amulet with him … "Zhang Xuan sighed deeply.
He was bound to enter the Prime Hall, so there was no point denying it.
"You … Pu!"
Hearing those words, Yan Xue nearly fainted from rage. Unable to suppress his injuries any longer, he spurted a mouthful of blood.
You saw a fake amulet and immediately fled …
You were even more vindictive than me back then, alright?
If I hadn't fled in time, you might have already snatched it away from me …
Why are you acting as if I'm a retard?
More importantly, to say such words even after taking the real amulet … Is it really okay for a master teacher to be so shameless?
"You mean to say that the real amulet is in your hands?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing felt a sharp pain in his chest as well, so he gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right, it's in my hands!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "Based on the previous rules, those who possess the Prime Amulet are entitled to a third of the slots, which means that there are five slots. After that, one of the cruxes will be allocated to each of the four powers … In other words, I have eleven slots on my side, right?"
"…" Ancient Sage Yan Qing's body swayed weakly upon hearing those words.
The reason why he had made such a rule, even going as far as to threaten Zhang Xuan with his strength, was because those who possessed the Prime Amulet would be able to obtain nearly half of the slots. But now … the Prime Amulet was in the hands of the other party, and the slots had been completely reversed. In the end, he only had two slots on his side …
He felt as if he had done everything for someone else.
The stifling feeling left him on the verge of exploding.
The other party clearly knew that the Prime Amulet was a fake, but he chose not to say it out loud.
But even if he had said it out loud, he would not have believed it!
After all, the amulet was simply too intricate. Be it through one's Spiritual Perception or physical eyes, there was no flaw in it at all.
Only when one exerted one's strength would one realize that the amulet was nothing more than a weakling!
"Since we've already made a deal, I won't go back on it!"
Even though Ancient Sage Yan Qing was on the verge of going berserk, he still nodded in agreement.
Two slots was fine as well.
In terms of understanding of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, the Master Teacher Continent, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and the Beast Tribe were far from being a match for the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. As long as they could enter the Primordial Codex of Spring and Autumn, they would be the ones with the greatest chance of obtaining it!
It was due to this that they dared to allocate the slots to others. Otherwise, they would have been able to obtain even more if they had the Prime Amulet.
"That's good. Give me a moment, I'll bring you all in once I've made the necessary arrangements."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan did not deny it, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
"This …"
The Ancient Sages of Mingshi Tang also did not expect such a reversal. They glanced at one another before turning their gazes back to Zhang Xuan curiously.
It was not just that the young master teacher had single-handedly obtained the cruxes of five worlds, but he had even obtained the Prime Amulet, causing the Hundred Schools of Philosophers to suffer in silence. When did such a genius appear in Mingshi Tang?
"Given that they have obtained so many slots all at once, we have to be wary of them playing tricks on us!"
A look of worry surfaced on Yang shi's face.
As the successors of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, it was unlikely that Ancient Sage Yan Qing and the others would go back on their words in Kong Shi's temple. However, since the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn was involved, it was hard to say.
Not to mention, there were still the Otherworldly Demons and beasts in the area.
"It's unlikely that they'll make a move for the time being. Those who are able to enter the Prime Hall and the Subordinate Halls are only Sempiternal realm experts. Even if they manage to obtain the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, they won't be able to tame it!"
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was worried about, Zhang Hongtian harrumphed coldly. "When the time comes, they'll surely take out their treasures. Only after they leave the Prime Hall will the fight truly begin! As such, while the slots may sound good, it's just a matter of righteousness. The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn will ultimately fall into the hands of the Ancient Sages! "
