The duo had just said that no one would dare to cause trouble after Ding Mu ascended to the throne when they heard this blatant provocation. Their faces immediately reddened, as though they had been slapped by someone.
What was going on?
Standing up, they glanced out of the window.
The Green Leaf Pavilion was tall, and from the highest floor, one could see the vast Heaven's Altar.
From afar, one could see a young man standing on the head of a huge Howling Firmament Beast in the sky above the crowded Heaven's Worship Platform. He was looking coldly at the people who were in the midst of the inauguration ceremony.
"From the looks of it... He isn't even in his twenties, but his aura is heavy. His cultivation has probably reached Zhizun realm pinnacle... When did such an expert appear?"
The mouths of the duo twitched.
They were just discussing Crown Prince Ding Mu, the number one genius of the younger generation, unparalleled in the past five hundred years and the next five hundred years... Wasn't it too much of a coincidence?
"Zhang Xuan. A few days ago, I heard that there was a beast tamer with this name in the Beast Hall, and he became the champion of the Beast Taming Competition. But... I heard that he was only at Zongshi realm pinnacle. How could he be... Zhizun realm pinnacle?"
For a beast tamer to proclaim for the crown prince's death during the inauguration ceremony...
What in the world happened?
The two influential figures in the Green Leaf Pavilion stared at one another, and they felt as though they were going insane.
...
In a small hut on the back of a massive savage beast, a few people stood by the window.
At the very front was a white-robed young man. His hands were behind his back, and he exuded a transcendent aura.
"Gongzi, Xuanyuan Royal City is right ahead!"
Gu Mu stepped forward and introduced.
In the distance, a massive city with a radius of several hundred kilometers came into sight. The thick walls were embedded in the mountain range, and it resembled a slumbering massive beast.
"The layout of this city is interesting. To think that it would be compatible with a formation!"
Opening his fan, the gongzi smiled.
The entire Xuanyuan Royal City was connected to the surrounding mountain range. It was impossible to tell what was going on inside, but looking down from above, one could tell that there was some kind of formation that gathered spiritual energy to nourish the living.
"The Xuanyuan royal family originated from formations, and every generation of emperors has been extremely proficient in formations. This is especially so for Crown Prince Ding Mu. He is a genius in the field..." Gu Mu said.
"Pui, genius? Genius your head!"
Before he could finish his words, a disdainful voice sounded out. Following which, the fatty Sun Qiang's face was filled with disdain.
"Am I wrong?"
Knowing that the other party could be the butler of a 6-star master teacher, Gu Mu didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"This Ding Mu offended our young master. He probably won't live for long. Besides, if we're talking about geniuses, who can compare to our Young Master? "
Sun Qiang pursed his lips.
Ding Mu had sent his men to assault Zhang Xuan, causing Lu Chong to be on the verge of death. He had seen it with his own eyes, and he knew that the young master had long harbored the intent to kill the crown prince.
The young master was determined. Even if he didn't want to trouble the old master, once he made a decision, a small Xuanyuan Kingdom wouldn't be able to stop him.
After all, in his eyes, all the geniuses in the world could not compare to a single finger of his Young Master.
Genius? Don't talk about embarrassing yourself.
"This... senior uncle, is he very talented?" Gu Mu asked.
"Of course! Our young master is a 3-star painter, 2-star master teacher, and 2-star beast tamer before he's even twenty... On top of that, he was appointed as an elder of the League of Nations Physician Guild. How can a fellow like Ding Mu possibly compare to him?"
Sun Qiang said proudly.
"Isn't your young master from Tianwu Kingdom? How did he become an elder of the League of Nations? "
The silent 'gongzi', who was standing by the window, suddenly turned around with a perplexed look on his face.
How could an insignificant figure from Tianwu Kingdom become an elder of the League of Nations Physician Guild?
"Who is our Young Master? He solved all of the problems on the Tianwu Kingdom Physician Guild's Wall of Dilemma in a single breath, and he even solved a problem that even the League of Nations Physician Guild was helpless against. This shocked the other party and they appointed him as an elder... "
Sun Qiang harrumphed.
He was delighted to talk about the young master's feats. Just as he was about to introduce more of the young master's feats, the usually calm and composed 'gongzi' suddenly paled, and his body trembled slightly.
"Isn't your... young master called Zhang Xuan? Why did I hear that the physician who solved the Wall of Dilemma is called Liu Cheng? "
"Oh, Liu Cheng is the alias that our young master used to take the 2-star master teacher examination!" Sun Qiang said.
"Zhang Xuan is Liu Cheng? He's your young master? "
'Gongzi 'and Jin Conghai stared at one another in shock.
"That's right!" Sun Qiang nodded.
"Since he's a physician, how could he possibly learn the means of a poison master? These two words contradict one another... "After a moment, 'gongzi' couldn't help but ask.
There were many occupations a master teacher could choose from. Initially, when he heard that Yang Xuan was skilled in poison and that he was Gu Mu's senior granduncle, he thought that Zhang Xuan was skilled in poison as well... Since that was the case, how could he possibly be a formidable physician?
"Given young master's outstanding talent, it isn't strange for him to learn two occupations simultaneously!" Sun Qiang waved his hands.
"A physician has to be benevolent in order to save the world. On the other hand, a poison master possesses a cold personality... The two are completely different. It can't be that your young master has two personalities, right?" 'Gongzi' was perplexed.
Physician and poison master were two completely different occupations. He couldn't imagine how the same person could possess these two occupations.
"What's so strange about that? Our young master has a gentle personality and is approachable. He never quarrels with others. Even though he knows how to use poison, he isn't like other poison masters, who kill on sight! On the contrary, no matter what he does, he speaks logically and convinces others with his virtue... "
Seeing the doubt in the other party's eyes, Sun Qiang glanced at him disdainfully.
To think that you are an expert. How can you not know this? How embarrassing.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to introduce the young master's merits in detail, a loud voice suddenly boomed from the capital down below.
"Ding Mu, I, Zhang Xuan, am here. Hurry up and come out to die!"
"Zhang Xuan?"
Hearing those words, everyone on the back of the savage beast fell silent. Following which, everyone turned their gazes over.
This is... the approachable, never quarrels with others, and convinces others with his virtue?
From the looks of it, he is already at the doorstep of the Xuanyuan royal family!
"What is he up to?"
Wei Yuqing's body swayed, and he was taken aback.
It had only been a few days since Beast Tamer Zhang left, and now, he wants to kill the crown prince?
"Elder Wei, hurry up and take a look!"
Of the crowd, only Sun Qiang knew what was going on. Knowing that this wasn't the time to be dwelling on such matters, he hurriedly instructed.
It seemed like the young master couldn't wait any longer and was preparing to make a move.
"Alright!"
Knowing that the situation was dire, Wei Yuqing nodded his head. With a tap of his feet, the savage beast flew in the direction of the voice.
...
Standing at the center of the Heaven's Altar, Ding Mu was just about to undergo the final ritual to ascend to the throne when he heard those words. He froze on the spot.
He had thought of many ways that the other party could exact vengeance on him. Sneak attacks, assassinations, visiting invitations, duels...
Yet, he couldn't have imagined that the other party would do it so openly.
Yet, before so many citizens of the capital, the master teachers of the Master Teacher Pavilion, as well as the nobles, dukes, and officials of the capital, he actually dared to brazenly charge forward and shout at the top of his lungs … Was this fellow insane?
This was Xuanyuan Royal City, his base. Putting aside the fact that it was heavily guarded, there were many formations around it as well... To charge in so brazenly, was he really a talented 2-star master teacher?
"This is the master teacher who wants to kill you?"
A middle-aged man walked over.
Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang, Luo Qianhong!
In the past few days, Ding Mu had been staying at Mingshi Tang's residence, and Ding Mu had told him that a master teacher wanted to kill him. He thought that it was just a groundless worry, but to think that the other party would really come.
"Un!"
Ding Mu nodded his head and clasped his fist. "It's just a misunderstanding. I hope that Brother Luo can help mediate this matter!"
"He's just a mere 2-star master teacher. He doesn't dare to go against my words!"
Luo Qianhong waved his hands.
The master teacher hierarchy was extremely strict. A 2-star master teacher might be dazzling in the eyes of others, but before a 3-star pinnacle master teacher like him, it was nothing.
A person of this level had to greet him respectfully. Otherwise, he could report this matter to Mingshi Tang and have his master teacher license revoked.
"That's good..."
Seeing that Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang was going to stand up for him, Ding Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Bai Chen, go over and warn him not to delay His Highness's ascension ceremony. If he doesn't know what's good for him, we can deal with him personally!"
Luo Qianhong waved his hands.
"Yes!"
A master teacher dressed in a long robe walked out from the crowd.
He was in his forties, and his eyes were bright and spirited. The emblem pinned on his chest had three dazzling stars.
To think that he was a 3-star primary master teacher!
His cultivation had also reached Zhizun realm pinnacle.
Upon receiving the order, Master Teacher Bai Chen turned to Zhang Xuan in the sky and frowned. "This is His Highness Ding Mu's ascension ceremony. Leave immediately, and we can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty!"
"I'll leave after I kill Ding Mu!"
Not bothering with words, Zhang Xuan leaped down from the Howling Firmament Beast.
Even though he hadn't practiced any movement technique, his cultivation had reached Zhizun realm, and his powerful physical body made a height of several dozen meters nothing much to him.
Hu!
He landed on the stairs of the Heaven's Altar, shattering a large part of the rocks on the ground. He lifted his feet and walked up.
"I am 3-star Master Teacher Bai Chen. As a teacher, I should know the rules and obey the instructions of a high-ranking master teacher. Do you intend to defy my orders?"
Seeing that the young man ignored his words and walked over, Bai Chen's complexion turned awful.
He had heard the conversation between the pavilion master and Ding Mu, and he knew that the other party was a master teacher.
A mere 2-star primary master teacher should treat him respectfully upon seeing a 3-star primary master teacher... Yet, he actually dared to defy his orders. How audacious of him!
"Scram!"
Not expecting Xuanyuan Kingdom's Mingshi Tang's men to stop him without any reason, Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
"You... You're courting death!"
Bai Chen thought that the other party would back down after revealing his identity. Yet, the other party actually told him to 'scram' instead. His face turned livid, and he nearly exploded on the spot.
