There were trillions of people in the world, and there were plenty of people who shared the same name. However, Zheng Yang, Liu Yang, and Zhang Xuan … All three of them shared the same name. There was no way that it could be a coincidence!
While others might not have been too familiar with the names of Zhang Xuan's direct disciples, Wu Chen knew quite a bit about them. The Azure was an extremely difficult place to traverse, and it was already a huge feat for Zhang Xuan to be able to enter it. How could his direct disciples possibly be able to catch up with him?
In other words, there was a good chance that the two of them were fake, and they were all Zhang Shi in disguise!
It seemed like that fellow had many identities back on the Master Teacher Continent, such as Yang Xuan, Luo Tianya, and Sun Qiang.
"The same person? What do you mean? "
Han Jianqiu asked upon hearing Zhang Xuan's muttering.
"It's nothing much …"
Wu Chen hurriedly shook his head. "I was just saying …"
Ignoring Han Jianqiu's words, Han Jianqiu remarked, "It seems like the Azure Bridge is going to be bustling with activity this time around. I wonder who will emerge victorious between our Hall Master Zhang, Liu Yang, and Zheng Yang. Three young geniuses of the Forsaken Continent … I'm really looking forward to it! "
"Indeed!" Liao Zhanglai nodded in agreement.
Wu Chen's lips twitched as he replied with a voice that only he could hear, "That's right. It's something worth looking forward to. However, I don't think that he'll think of it that way … "
…
Half a day later, Zhang Xuan returned to Starchaser Island.
"Paying respects to Hall Master Zhang!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao greeted him.
He had no idea where Zhang Xuan had gone, so he thought that he was just taking a stroll outside.
"Hall Master Kui?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"I have already passed the news to the other five sects. From this moment onward, you are the new head of our Seven Star Pavilion," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said with a smile. "As for me, I'll be an elder of the Seven Star Pavilion …"
Zhang Xuan did not expect Pavilion Master Kui to be so swift.
However, since he had already made a promise to Pavilion Master Kui, there was no reason for him to turn it down. Besides, with his identity as the head of the Seven Star Pavilion, it would be easier for him to get things done.
"How is the relationship between the Seven Star Pavilion and Starchaser Palace?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan asked.
"The relationship between Starchaser Palace and the Five Sects isn't too good, and the Seven Star Pavilion only maintains contact with them during business dealings.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao, the current Elder Kui Xiao, said.
"So, our relationship is just average?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Yes!" Elder Kui Xiao replied. "As long as the consequences aren't too great, given the prestige of the head of the Seven Star Pavilion, I don't think he'll make things difficult for you."
As one of the Six Sects, even if their relationship wasn't good, he still had to give face to the other party.
Otherwise, both parties would be embarrassed.
"I would like to look for the head of Starchaser Palace to ask some questions," Zhang Xuan replied.
"It should be easy to ask questions!" Elder Kui Xiao replied with a smile. "As long as we don't implicate the gods in the matter, it shouldn't be a problem. Starchaser Palace's greatest strength lies in its ability to offer sacrifices to the heavens and communicate with the gods.
Back then, when the heads of the Six Sects had gathered together to discuss the Azure Bridge, Hall Master Qin Yuan had only said a few words, and they had nearly come to blows with one another.
As such, the matter regarding the gods was a taboo for the Seven Sects. As long as they didn't step on it, it shouldn't be a problem.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan frowned deeply, not knowing how he should respond to Elder Kui Xiao's question.
What he wanted to ask was regarding those two matters.
Elder Kui Xiao was taken aback. "Could it be that the matter that Hall Master Kui Xiao wishes to ask is related to those two matters?"
"I would like to ask about those matters to confirm a guess …" Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know how I can get in touch with the palace master?"
Even if the other party didn't say anything, he still wanted to give it a try.
As the head of the Seven Sects, it would be much easier for him to ask about such matters than to disguise himself as a disciple.
Elder Kui Xiao rubbed his glabella in distress. "It won't be too difficult to contact her. I can help you arrange an appointment with her, but you must be careful. Palace Master Du Qingyuan has a fiery temper, so I'd advise you not to act rashly if you get into a verbal argument with her. It's best for the safety of the sect …"
Du Qingyuan might be powerful, but their new hall master also had a Semi-Divinity artifact and a beast. It was hard to say who would emerge victorious in a battle.
However, it would be best for them not to get into a conflict. Otherwise, the two sects would surely be affected.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking about some matters.
I won't cause any trouble, "Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
He was a low-profile person who would not offend those who did not offend him. Not to mention, this matter involved the two sects.
"That's good!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's promise, Elder Kui Xiao recalled Zhang Xuan's performance in the Sea of Little Mirror, and he heaved a sigh of relief. "I'll help you get in touch with her right now."
After saying those words, he took out a jade token and tapped it lightly. A moment later, he raised his head and said, "Hall Master Kui, Palace Master Du has agreed to the matter. However, she wants you to meet her at the Starchaser Palace."
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
It did not matter to him where he was going as long as he could meet her.
With Elder Kui Xiao leading the way, it did not take long for them to arrive at the massive entrance of the Starchaser Palace.
Unlike the other sects that Zhang Xuan had seen before, it was just an ordinary palace. It stood in the midst of the massive city that was Starchaser Island, and it didn't look as imposing as it did before. However, if one were to take a closer look, they would notice that this wasn't just the center of the island. The spiritual energy within a radius of several million li was also converging toward the center of the island, forming a massive formation.
It was no wonder the Six Sects were able to remain standing for so long.
After handing over the name scroll, Zhang Xuan was able to enter one of the halls. Not too long later, a maid walked up to him and said, "Hall Master Liu, our hall master wishes to meet you alone. I'll have to trouble Elder Kui Xiao to wait here for you."
"Alright."
Elder Kui Xiao knew that it would be inconvenient for him to enter the room, so he nodded. He shot a wary glance at Zhang Xuan before taking a seat in the room.
Under the lead of the maid, Zhang Xuan followed behind her, and they walked through a long corridor before entering another hall.
The hall was extremely quiet, and there was a massive screen at the center of the hall, blocking one's sight.
"I just received news that Hall Master Liu of the Seven Star Pavilion is going to succeed his position, so I'm afraid that you have come here as soon as possible. May I know the reason behind your visit?"
A calm voice sounded from the other side of the screen. "Our Starchaser Palace has always had a trade relationship with the Seven Star Pavilion. There's no way that it would be easy for Hall Master Liu to make a trip here. If it's within my means, I won't turn you down …"
Seeing that Du Qingyuan was using a screen to block his view and speaking in such a manner, Zhang Xuan was a little displeased. However, he still nodded and clasped his fist. "I do have a request to make of you."
The person on the other side of the screen said, "Hall Master Liu, feel free to speak."
"I heard that two months ago, Palace Master Du conducted a ritual to the heavens and guided a deity to descend upon the world. I would like to ask you some information regarding this deity, and I hope that you can enlighten me. "
Zhang Xuan.
Since he was already there, it was only right for him to clarify all of the doubts in his heart.
"May I know where Hall Master Liu heard this news from? I'm not aware of this matter at all. Naturally, I'm unable to tell you about it either, "the calm voice on the other side of the screen replied.
Zhang Xuan frowned. "I have already been to the Empyrean Sea, and I heard that Palace Master Du did head there two months ago. Through a ritual, a deity descended upon the Empyrean Sea, and a large amount of god blood was left behind …"
"Hall Master Liu, you must have heard wrongly. I have been in Starchaser Palace all these years, and I've never been to the Empyrean Sea. I'm afraid that I'm not aware of what you are saying, "the voice on the other side of the screen replied calmly." If Hall Master Liu intends to ask about such insignificant matters, I'm afraid that I won't be able to entertain you. Little Qing, see our guest out! "
"Hall Master Liu, this way please!"
The maid from before walked over.
"Since Palace Master Du is unwilling to speak of it, I guess I'll have to be impolite then!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly. Ignoring the maid before him, he abruptly stood up.
He had already guessed that the other party would not admit to it, but since this matter involved Lozosy, even if he had to fall out with her, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Had it been before, he might have been fearful of the other party, but with the protection of five Semi-Divinity realm experts, he would be able to force the other party to speak of it!
Other matters could wait, but this matter was not something he could afford to wait any longer.
"Impolite?" The voice on the other side of the screen turned cold. "Hall Master Liu, what do you mean by that? Are you going to cause trouble in our Starchaser Palace? "
"That's right!"
Nodding, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Hula!
The four Semi-Divinity realm beasts appeared in the room simultaneously. "Invite Palace Master Du over!"
"Yes!"
Even though the Blackback Tortoise and the Serpentine Shark were marine lifeforms, as Semi-Divinity realm beasts, they were still able to survive on land.
Hong long!
The four Semi-Divinity realm beasts released their zhenqi simultaneously, and a powerful surge of energy surged into the heavens.
"Audacious!"
The voice on the other side of the screen did not expect the head of the Seven Star Pavilion to be so brazen as to make a move on her without any warning.
Huala!
Several Heavenly High Immortal realm elders rushed into the hall, and a strong gust of wind blew across the surroundings.
"Scram!"
Shark One roared furiously, causing the ground to tremble.
Peng peng peng peng!
The Heavenly High Immortal realm elders who had just entered the room were sent flying, and they crashed heavily onto the ground, sustaining severe injuries.
The gap between a Heavenly High Immortal realm cultivator and a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator was simply too huge. Even though Shark One was only able to exert eighty percent of his cultivation on land, it was still not an opponent that they could deal with.
Hu!
While the Blackback Tortoise and the other Heavenly High Immortals were repelled, Shark Two, Shark Three, and the Blackback Tortoise had already surrounded the figure behind the screen. With a surge of their zhenqi, they swiftly restrained the figure behind the screen and brought her out.
"Aren't you … Palace Master Du Qingyuan? Who are you? "
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan frowned upon seeing the figures that the three beasts had brought over.
He had never seen Du Qingyuan before, and he had never heard of her appearance, but the person who had been captured was a young lady in her early twenties. She was clearly different from the rumored Palace Master Du, who was nearing the end of her lifespan.
The young lady was dressed in a light purple dress, and she had a graceful figure. Judging from her appearance, she looked no older than twenty-five, and her actual age couldn't have been more than a hundred either. More importantly, her cultivation was only at Heavenly High Immortal realm. How could she possibly be the palace master of one of the Six Sects?
One must know that Palace Master Du's cultivation was even higher than Pavilion Master Kui Xiao's!
Even if she wasn't the strongest among the Six Sects, she should at least be in the top three.
