"Everyone, may I say something?"
Zhang Xuan walked up to the Ancient Sage and clasped his fist.
"This is a matter between Ancient Sages. Who do you think you are to interfere in our affairs?" one of the Ancient Sages harrumphed coldly.
He had long grown impatient with the young man before him.
Putting aside the fact that the young man had sold the slots to them and extorted them, just the fact that he had brought the Otherworldly Demonic God into the Prime Hall and stolen the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn was already an unforgivable crime!
The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn was a treasure left behind by Kong Shi, and it was the crux to mankind's rise. Now that it had fallen into the hands of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, there was no telling what would happen to mankind.
Despite committing such a heinous crime, he still had the cheek to stop Sovereign Chen Yong from committing suicide. Disregarding his status, he bellowed furiously.
Huala!
Barely after the Ancient Sage said those words, he suddenly saw a saber flashing toward him. He hurriedly retracted his body, but even so, he was still wounded by the saber, and fresh blood dripped down from his arm.
Turning his gaze over, he saw a saber in the young man's hand that was emanating a sinister glow.
"Do you think you're qualified now?"
Zhang Xuan asked nonchalantly.
"You're courting death!"
To be injured by a Great Sage, the Ancient Sage was so furious that he could explode.
If not for the severe injuries he had sustained from his battle with Sovereign Chen Yong, it would have been impossible for a newly achieved Ancient Sage artifact to injure him!
"What are you trying to say?"
Not expecting the young man to be so extreme as to injure one of his companions over a mere 'qualification', Ancient Sage Yan Qing stopped the furious Ancient Sage with a frown.
"Sovereign Chen Yong mustn't die yet!"
Zhang Xuan.
"Mustn't die yet?" The Ancient Sage who had just been injured flung his sleeves furiously. "Do you know how many human experts he has killed over the years, whether directly or indirectly? As a master teacher, instead of avenging them, you're pleading on his behalf. Zhang Hongtian, is this how the Zhang family and Mingshi Tang do things? "
Zhang Hongtian frowned.
Obviously, he was puzzled by his junior's actions.
Under Sovereign Chen Yong's reign, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had grown stronger and stronger. They had fought countless battles with mankind, resulting in innumerable casualties. Since there was an opportunity to slay the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, there was no way they would let it go. Firstly, they would be able to avenge their fallen tribesmen, and secondly, they would be able to rid themselves of any potential threats.
This junior of his had always been reasonable and righteous. How could he have made such a mistake at such a crucial moment?
"Don't drag the Zhang family and Mingshi Tang into this. This is my personal decision. It has nothing to do with them!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
The crux of Lozosy's predicament lay with Sovereign Chen Yong. She could only rely on him to find and contact him.
If he really died here, it would mean that the last clue was gone.
Such a thing must not be allowed to happen.
"Personal decision? As a Great Sage, do you really think that you can influence the decisions of Ancient Sages with your own decisions? "
Another of the human Ancient Sages sneered. "Just a weapon that you managed to achieve a breakthrough through luck? You think too highly of yourself! "
"Of course I can't do that with just this saber!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly as he scanned his surroundings. Then, he raised the Infernal Blacksaber in his hand once more.
Si la!
It tore through space and time, and in an instant, it appeared right before Old Geezer Yu, who was still lingering by the side.
"The heck!"
Old Geezer Yu roared furiously, and he nearly exploded on the spot.
Screw you! If you want to establish your authority and attract the attention of others, go ahead and strike those who are criticizing you! Why are you attacking me instead?
What the heck did I do to you?
Feeling stifled, Old Geezer Yu dodged to the side.
Even though he had suffered a huge blow in the battle, leaving him with only two to three percent of his original strength, it was still not something that the Infernal Blacksaber, which had just achieved a breakthrough, could compare to.
After dodging the attack, Old Geezer Yu was just about to raise his hand to counterattack when his body suddenly stiffened.
"Sovereign Vicious?"
Old Geezer Yu narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Even though the aura no longer carried the killing intent from before, as an Otherworldly Demon, Old Geezer Yu was still able to tell that the other party was none other than the ancestor of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, Vicious.
His standing in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was similar to that of Kong Shi in the Master Teacher Continent, and he exerted immense pressure on his bloodline.
Puhe!
In the blink of an eye, the saber qi on the Infernal Blacksaber had already struck one of the flaws in Old Geezer Yu's cultivation. Old Geezer Yu's face paled, and he spurted a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily onto the ground.
After injuring Old Geezer Yu, Zhang Xuan asked nonchalantly, "May I know if my strength is enough to change your decision?"
Old Geezer Yu was an Ancient Sage 3-dan Blood Reincarnation realm expert, whereas the Infernal Blacksaber had only reached Ancient Sage recently. Under normal circumstances, it would have been difficult for it to injure the other party. However, under the pressure of Vicious and knowing the other party's weakness, as well as the fact that he was severely injured, Zhang Xuan's reflexes were significantly slower than before.
"With such strength, you are indeed qualified to make the decision. However, we would like to know the reason behind your decision!"
As swift as Zhang Xuan's movements were, Old Geezer Yu was still able to notice that something was amiss. It was clear that the young man had other trump cards other than the Infernal Blacksaber, and the fact that he was able to injure even Bo Yu showed that he was qualified to stand on equal footing with them.
Zhang Xuan turned to Old Geezer Yu and said, "I'm not aware of the matter regarding you, Sovereign Chen Ling, and Sovereign Chen Xing working together to ambush Sovereign Chen Yong. However, I have seen Sovereign Chen Ling earlier, and he is a warmongering person. It will be difficult for him to keep his word and maintain the peace for the next three hundred years. Furthermore … if Sovereign Chen Yong hadn't injured him earlier, would they have made a move on you? "
The crowd fell silent.
To be honest, if not for the fact that Sovereign Chen Yong had a trump card and allowed Sovereign Chen Ling to kill Old Geezer Yu, there was a good chance that Sovereign Chen Yong would have broken the agreement and made a move on them.
Perhaps, Sovereign Chen Yong had already planned for both of them to be severely injured so that he could reap the benefits.
As long as they were dead, the final barrier of the Master Teacher Continent would be gone. Even though there were still Ancient Sages from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and Mingshi Tang headquarters who had yet to make a move, they were no longer a match for the two Sovereigns.
"Sovereign Chen Ling betrayed his own clan, so it's no big deal for him to break the agreement. I know that you should understand this as well, but considering that this is the best opportunity for us to kill Sovereign Chen Yong, we might even be able to make use of this opportunity to destroy the confidence of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and instigate internal strife among them.
"It would have been a good thing if we had succeeded and none of you had been injured. But now, Sovereign Chen Ling has really died, and Sovereign Chen Ling has returned to announce to the world that he was killed by our ambush. In order to save him, I was nearly killed by a human … Given the prestige that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe holds in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it's only a matter of time before the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's wrath toward mankind.
Zhang Xuan.
"This …" Ancient Sage Yan Qing was rendered speechless.
Indeed. If Sovereign Chen Yong had really died here, Sovereign Chen Ling would have only needed to make use of him to unite the entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. By then, mankind would have been in grave danger.
