On the Master Teacher Continent, at the Northern Border of the Northern Firmaments, white snow drifted in the air.
In a dilapidated bell tower, there was a lot of passing guests.
This was the location of one of the Six Great Subterranean Galleries, the Glacier Sea Subterranean Gallery. Under normal circumstances, few people would venture into the area. However, ever since the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe retreated, it had become a transportation hub, and countless experts would frequent the area every day.
Even though the Subterranean Gallery was shrouded in a crimson moon, and the air was filled with killing intent, it was still possible to grow plants that could not be found on the Master Teacher Continent. These plants were extremely valuable, be it as medicinal herbs or as materials to forge weapons.
Due to the intense battle previously, other than master teachers, no one dared to enter the area to search for it. On top of that, Mingshi Tang had sealed the area tightly, preventing ordinary people from entering or leaving. Naturally, there were no business opportunities in the area.
With the retreat of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, there were quite a few powerful merchants who were able to venture into the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. As more and more of these items were brought out, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe soon caught the attention of even more experts.
At this moment, the people waiting in the bell tower were precisely these cultivators who wanted to search for fortuitous encounters.
"The wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier. Every time it happens, the Icy Snow Catacombs will automatically close up. We can't go in even if we want to. We can only wait here for the sky to clear up!"
"That's right. The Icy Snow Catacombs are located in the ice caves of the snowy mountains. When snowflakes fall, it's the coldest time of the year. There's indeed no way to enter!"
"Since you can't leave, there's nothing to do here. Is there anything new that you can tell us so that we can broaden our horizons?"
"Brother Wu, you just came from Mingshi Tang's headquarters. Have you heard any news?"
Upon hearing Wu Zhangkong address him as Brother Wu, everyone turned their attention to the middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a master teacher robe, and there were seven dazzling stars embroidered on his chest. Surprisingly, he was a Seven Star master teacher! Judging from his cultivation, he was at Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle. Even among the Seven Stars, he could be considered as one of the strongest.
Noticing the gazes of the crowd gathered on him, Brother Wu paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know who the most talented master teacher in the world is?"
"The most talented master teacher? It should be Feng Ziyi! I heard that his teacher has become an Ancient Sage, and his cultivation has soared rapidly as well. He has already reached a level that he can't even look up to! "
"I think it's Zhao Moxuan. I've met this person once, and he's a monstrous genius that comprehends everything extremely quickly. Moreover, he learns everything with a single try, and his intelligence is extraordinary!"
"I think it's Jiang Feifei. Not only is she beautiful, her mastery of the Celestial Designer Profession has also reached the pinnacle …"
"I heard it was …"
There were many discussions.
Everyone had their own idol, and they had the greatest admiration and praise for them.
Every name they mentioned resounded throughout the continent and was revered by the people of the world.
"Have you forgotten … Zhang Xuan?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
"Zhang Xuan?"
Upon hearing this name, the voices that had been discussing earlier all fell silent.
"He's indeed the most talented master teacher in the world. Over the past several dozen millenniums, only Kong Shi has been able to match up to him. However, he has colluded with the Spirit God of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and stolen the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, placing mankind in a disadvantageous position.
"There mustn't be such scum among the master teachers!"
"Why did I hear that he wasn't colluding with the other party? Instead, he was deceived and didn't know the other party's identity!"
"As a teacher, one has to be upright, upright, and upright. Even if he didn't know the other party's identity, he should have severed his ties with the other party. Yet, he didn't stop the other party or snatch the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn back. Just this point alone shows that he isn't a qualified master teacher!"
"There's no point talking about such a person!"
…
Upon hearing this name, the discussions among the crowd grew even more intense.
"Hahaha!"
The discussions grew louder and louder. All of a sudden, a cold laughter echoed in the air, causing the entire clock tower to tremble non-stop, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Hearing the powerful voice, the crowd couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the source of the laughter.
Following which, they saw that the person who was laughing was the strongest among the crowd, the Seven Star master teacher, Brother Wu!
At this moment, Brother Wu's eyes were cold, and the smile on his face had vanished. Standing up, he looked at the crowd and said, "You said that Zhang Shi isn't worthy of being a master teacher? Who gave you the guts to say such words? "
"He even felt that he had let down mankind and committed suicide before Mingshi Tang. Isn't it because he isn't worthy of the title of a master teacher?"
A middle-aged man with a scar on his face harrumphed.
It had been ten days since Zhang Xuan had committed suicide before Mingshi Tang, and the news had already spread across the entire Master Teacher Continent.
"Not worthy?"
Brother Wu narrowed his eyes. "Let me ask you, do you know why we are able to enter the Icy Subterranean Gallery so easily?"
"This … Isn't it because the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has retreated?"
The scar-faced middle-aged man asked.
The others nodded in agreement.
It was only because the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had retreated that they dared to enter the Icy Subterranean Gallery. Otherwise, no one would be so bored as to commit suicide.
"Retreat? Hehe! "
Brother Wu sneered. "Over the past several dozen millenniums, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has retreated from the Icy Subterranean Gallery several hundred times, if not a thousand. Why haven't they allowed ordinary humans to enter?"
"This …"
The scar-faced middle-aged man was rendered speechless.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had also retreated before, but Mingshi Tang had never allowed ordinary humans to enter the Icy Subterranean Gallery. Could there be some other reason behind this?
"Brother Wu, what's going on?"
One of them couldn't help but ask.
"A month ago, I was dispatched to Mingshi Tang's headquarters to handle some matters, and I heard the news!" Brother Wu recalled. "The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has indeed retreated, but they have gathered an army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers to prepare for a counterattack!"
"An army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers?"
The crowd was astonished.
They knew how powerful the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was. If so many of them were to launch a counterattack, it was likely that the Master Teacher Continent would be destroyed.
"Wait a moment … If they have gathered so many soldiers, why isn't there any movement at all?"
The crowd turned their gazes over once more.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had caused such a huge ruckus, but none of them had heard anything about it. What was going on?
As for the Temple of Confucius, that was a matter between Mingshi Tang's headquarters and the higher-ups. It had nothing to do with them, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
"Of course there isn't any movement at all! That's because a master teacher single-handedly charged into the army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers and killed them all!"
Brother Wu said with a hint of respect in his eyes. "He's the one who foiled the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's plans and forced them to retreat for the time being. He's the one who repaired the seal and turned the Subterranean Gallery into a place where we can explore freely! "
"A single person killed more than a hundred thousand Otherworldly Demons?"
"I heard that even the weakest of the Otherworldly Demons was at Saint 3-dan …"
"How is that possible? Brother Wu, who is that person? "
Unable to hold back their curiosity any longer, the crowd turned their gazes over once more.
"Isn't he the person whom you said is unworthy of being a master teacher?"
Brother Wu clenched his fists tightly. "Zhang Xuan!"
