Not expecting the number one prodigy of his clan to be pummeled by a clan head who was on par with him, Clan Head Lin couldn't hold himself back any longer. "Tian Fei, Zhao Meng, you two are going too far!"
Peng peng peng!
After a few slaps, he fell to the ground with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Even though he wasn't a match for Lin Xie, he could still defeat Tian Fei, Zhao Meng, and the others easily. When did they become so formidable?
It was as if they were able to see through his moves. No matter what kind of martial arts they used, they were unable to withstand a single blow from them.
"Challenge all of the members of the Lin Clan one-on-one!"
Just as Clan Head Lin was wondering what was going on, Tian Fei harrumphed coldly.
Following which, a crippled young man walked out from behind him.
Clan Head Lin immediately recognized him. He was the infamous trash of the Tian Clan. Ever since he was injured, he had become depressed, resulting in his cultivation being the weakest among his peers.
It didn't take long for the crippled young man to arrive before the members of the Lin Clan. Wielding a sword in his hand, he rampaged through the crowd. In less than ten minutes, he had defeated dozens of members of the Lin Clan one-on-one!
"…" Clan Head Lin was on the verge of going insane.
Since when did this trash become so strong?
What was going on with the members of the Tian Clan?
An hour later, all of the experts of the Lin Clan had been challenged by their peers, and not a single one of them had been able to emerge victorious.
"Hurry up and investigate! How did they become so powerful all of a sudden?"
The Three Premier Clans had always competed with one another openly and in the shadows. Under normal circumstances, the Lin Clan would always be the number one clan, and no one would be able to stand up to them. When did they become so weak that they couldn't even put up the slightest resistance?
"Yes …" The butler rushed out of the room, and not too long later, he returned with a bruised face.
"What happened? Are they still blocking the entrance? "Clan Head Lin gritted his teeth.
All he did was speak a few words about the city lord. Was there a need for the other two clans to block the entrance?
"No, it's just that we met a few beggars on the way here. We should have been able to crush them easily, but all of a sudden, they became experts and pummeled me …" The butler was on the verge of tears.
"Beggars?" Clan Head Lin trembled.
How could beggars dare to bully the Lin Clan?
"I heard that they have become so formidable after attending the City Lord's lecture. Regardless of whether it is their cultivation or fighting prowess, they have risen exponentially," the butler said.
"Attending the city lord's lecture? Do you have any video recordings of the lessons? "Lin Xie hurriedly asked.
"I spent a lot of money and finally found one …"
The butler nodded as he took out a Record Crystal and passed it over.
He quickly infused his divine energy into the stone tablet, only to see a young man seated on top of it.
After listening for a while, Lin Xie and the Lin Family Head both collapsed onto the ground.
At this moment, they finally understood why the Tian Family and Zhao Family suddenly became so powerful. They were far from being a match for them. It was all because they listened to the new City Lord's lecture!
"Recording images can only record sound, it won't be of much use to increase one's cultivation … Our Lin Clan has lost our best opportunity. In the future … we will be removed from the Three Great Clans and reduced to a second-rate power …"
With bitter looks on their faces, the Lin Clan head and Lin Xie finally came to a realization.
Although the Recording Jade Crystal could record images, the effect was not as good as listening to it live. Furthermore, they had lost the best opportunity. The decline of their clan was already a foregone conclusion.
"If I had known that he was so powerful, I would have listened to Ming Laixiang …"
Lin Xie's tears flowed out.
It was no wonder Ming Laixiang would listen to the other party obediently and help him become the City Lord. His capability was simply too formidable!
If he had lowered his pride and listened to the lecture back then, he would still be the second strongest expert in Dusklight City. However, it was a pity that there were no ifs. He had exhausted the strength of the Eight Great Elders, but he couldn't even defeat Tian Fei and the others …
It was destined that he, Lin Xie, and the entire Lin Clan would become the biggest joke in Dusklight City!
…
"This is the core of the Sky of Drifting Specter, Drifting Specter Royal City!"
Oblivious to the happenings in Dusklight City, Qi Ling-er looked at the dazed faces of the crowd and said, "Don't worry about it.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over as well.
The few of them were standing in the middle of a massive Teleportation Formation. The Teleportation Formation had just come to an end, but intense spatial ripples still lingered in the air.
During the four hours of lecture the previous night, countless low-tier Gods had achieved breakthroughs to middle-tier and high-tier Gods. The number of cultivators who had achieved breakthroughs in Dusklight City in a single night had exceeded the total number of cultivators who had achieved breakthroughs in the past thirty years.
For a period of time, a spiritual energy vacuum had formed above the city.
More importantly, be it humans, divine beasts, or spiritual weapons, as long as they listened to Zhang Xuan's lecture, they would be inspired to advance their cultivation.
For a period of time, the entire Dusklight City was filled with admiration for the new city lord.
But of course, to Zhang Xuan, such occurrences were nothing out of the ordinary.
After leaving the Teleportation Formation, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the Royal City. It was many times larger than Dusklight City, and there were more people here as well. However, it was not as crowded.
The city was clean and tidy, and the layout of the buildings made sense. There were all kinds of divine beasts flying in the air, and there were mountains floating in the air. Clouds and mist lingered in the air, making it hard to tell where one was.
"Those who are able to live in the Divine Mountain in the sky are all major clans and powers. Even the weakest of them is a high-tier Celestial God!"
Seeing the look on Zhang Xuan's face, Qi Ling-er explained.
"High-tier Celestial God … As expected of the Royal City!"
The Zhang Jia muttered.
Previously, as a high-tier God, it was already able to strut around in Dusklight City, disregarding even the city lord's presence. Yet, there were simply too many experts here.
Putting everything aside, with just a casual glance, it could already see at least five divine beasts that were significantly stronger than it.
It was still feeling a little proud of itself a moment ago, but it immediately swallowed its pride and fell silent.
It was as if a millionaire had suddenly arrived on Wall Street, thinking that he was rich, only to realize that he was nothing more than a speck of dust.
"What are you afraid of? With Big Brother Qiang here, I'll conquer Drifting Specter Royal City for you!" Sun Qiang said confidently.
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
You are so weak … What the heck are you so confident about?
The Zhang Jia did not say a word. It pulled Sun Qiang's hand away from its shoulder and turned to Little Chick. "Boss, is there anything I can do for you?"
Little Chick replied impassively, "I want to die … Why don't you try dying for me first?"
"…"
Zhang Xuan clutched his forehead.
What in the world was this bunch of idiots?
"Let's find a place to stay first. Do you have a place to stay here?"
Ignoring these weirdos, Zhang Xuan turned to Qi Ling-er and asked.
If he was alone, it would not matter whether he had a place to stay or not. His parents had followed him all the way here, so he had to find a place to rest first.
While the Teleportation Formation was extremely fast, they were still far weaker than him. Using it forcefully would cause some damage to their bodies.
"I have been staying in my clan all this while. I left Royal City as soon as I came of age," Qi Ling-er replied awkwardly.
"You can find a place to stay then."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually.
On the way here, he had learned that Qi Ling-er's clan was one of the more powerful clans in Royal City. As an outsider, it was unlikely that he would be able to find a place to stay. Furthermore, there were too many rules in a place like this, making it extremely troublesome.
As there were many outsiders in Royal City, it was not difficult to find a place to stay. It took him less than two hours to find a residence that he was satisfied with. However, it was much more expensive than Twilight City.
However, to the current Zhang Xuan, it was nothing much.
"Here are fifty Beauty Pills. Find a way to sell them and help me look into the Spirit God," Zhang Xuan said as he passed a few bottles of God Essence Pills over to Qi Ling-er.
Along the way, he had bought quite a few low-tier God Essence Pills with the money he earned previously.
To him, a single surge of zhenqi didn't cost much.
"Alright!" Qi Ling-er nodded before leaving the residence.
"Go and look into the situation in Drifting Specter Royal City. If you can't find Lu Chong, ask him where Demon Monarch Qiankun went to, "Zhang Xuan said as he sent a telepathic message to Sun Qiang.
Lu Chong had been taken away by Demon Monarch Qiankun when he was making a breakthrough on the Celestial Mountain. Most likely, he was in Drifting Specter Royal City.
As for where he was, Zhang Xuan had no idea.
"Yes!" Sun Qiang nodded before backing out of the residence.
After the two of them left, Zhang Xuan took out the pendant from his robes and fell silent.
Where in the world was Lozosy?
What was her identity in the Firmament? He had no idea at all!
Nevertheless, based on their interactions, he could tell that Luo Ruoxin had a high standing in the Firmament. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so cautiously around him.
Perhaps, I can start with this droplet of blood!
Zhang Xuan thought as he looked at the crimson droplet in the pendant.
The pendant was given to him by Lozosy, so he couldn't help but wonder if the droplet of blood sealed within was hers. Nevertheless, even if it wasn't, there was no doubt that it had something to do with her.
It was impossible for him to uncover Luo Ruoxin's identity elsewhere, but this pendant might be able to do so.
If he could make use of the droplet of blood properly, he would be able to uncover many things.
Let's give it a try!
Previously, he had been too weak to approach the pendant, but now that his physical body, soul, and divine energy had all reached high-tier God realm pinnacle, he should be able to come into contact with it.
Zhang Xuan set up a formation around the pendant, and with a tap of his finger, the pendant floated in midair.
With a thought, he sent a sliver of his will into the pendant.
Zhang Xuan had no idea what kind of crystal the pendant was made of, but it was extraordinarily sturdy. He was unable to breach it with his current strength, but he was still able to reach his will into it.
Soon, he came into contact with the pendant.
The droplet of blood lay quietly within the pendant, seemingly devoid of any energy. At the same time, it felt like a heavy boulder, unable to budge at all.
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan extended his will into the pendant.
Boom!
As soon as he came into contact with the pendant, his body jolted as a familiar aura gushed into his body once more. Not too long after his reincarnation, those ancient words echoed in his mind once more.
"Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all living beings as nothing more than straw dogs …"
"The sun and the moon waver, the world is flawed …"
"The myriad of laws of the universe, the order of the heavens …"
"The path of the Great Dao, the world is just …"
Boom!
Hearing those words, the Library of Heaven's Path in his mind jolted violently, and Zhang Xuan felt his vision going dark.
Peng!
He fell from the bed and fainted on the spot.
