"Guild leader, after leaving School Head Jiang's residence, Zhang Shi headed straight to the residence gifted to him by King Huai. Along the way, he went to look for Luo laoshi, but he hasn't returned yet!"
In a spacious courtyard located at the very center of the Formation Master School, a female student reported to the beautiful figure standing before her.
"He hasn't returned yet?"
Dong Xin turned around.
After the incident at the Physician School, she had sent someone to investigate Zhang Xuan, hoping to find a weakness in him. However, it was a pity that the other party was so busy that she couldn't meet him. Even she was still baffled by his actions.
The female student nodded.
"You can leave now."
Waving her hands, Dong Xin placed her hands behind her back. Her lithe figure drew a beautiful arc in the air, and under the gentle breeze of the spring breeze, she exuded an air of elegance.
As expected of one of the top beauties of the Master Teacher Academy, her every move exuded a unique charm.
If Hu Yaoyao could be described as a rose with thorns, Dong Xin could be described as an elegant lily. Beneath her cold exterior, there was a unique allure to it.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If I want to find that fellow's weakness, I'll have to head over personally!"
Dong Xin frowned.
She was a meticulous person, and she disliked reading through information and listening to others. Even though Hu Yaoyao and the others had told her about the artifact, she still found it hard to believe. Thus, she had spent several days braving the dangers to head over to investigate the matter.
If she wanted to find out where Zhang Xuan's weakness was, it would be impossible for her to rely on the reports of her subordinates. If she wanted to find out, she would have to do it personally.
"Let's head over to take a look!"
After changing into ordinary clothes, Dong Xin turned around and flew straight out of the academy.
She had already gotten someone to look into the location of the residence gifted to Zhang Xuan by King Huai. Thus, it didn't take long for her to arrive.
"To think that there would be so many formations set up here … However, this won't be a problem for me!"
Chuckling softly, Dong Xin walked into the courtyard.
She was one of the top grade-5 students of the Master Teacher Academy, a Transcendent Mortal 9-dan Chrysalis realm expert, and she was also the direct disciple of the head of the Formation Master School, Chen Chengxun.
Her comprehension of formations had reached an extremely high level. The formations in the residence might be able to fend off 4-star or 5-star formation masters, but it was impossible for them to stop her.
Her slender figure shuttled through the mansion, and it didn't take long for her to arrive at a spacious courtyard.
A formation was in operation. Fog shrouded the entire courtyard, making it difficult to see clearly.
"This is … a peak four-star Aura Sealing Formation?"
With a single glance, he recognized it.
"The purpose of this formation is to conceal one's aura and secrets … Could this be his weakness?"
Dong Xin's eyes lit up.
Other than concealing one's aura, the Aura Sealing Formation didn't have much use. Since the other party was so serious about setting up such a formation in the courtyard, she didn't believe that it wasn't to conceal something!
"Let's think of a way to go in and take a look …"
He clenched his fists tightly.
The other party's secret was right before her eyes. If she didn't go in to take a look, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Dong Xin gritted her teeth as a sharp glint flashed across her dark eyes.
"The 4-star Aura Sealing Formation isn't too difficult to deal with. However, the slightest carelessness could trigger the formation flags, resulting in a change in the situation..."
As a 6-star formation master, it wasn't too difficult for her to deal with the Aura Sealing Formation. However, it wouldn't be easy for her to sneak in without anyone noticing.
She would have to deduce and study the formation carefully.
Thus, she quickly hid herself on a thick tree trunk by the corner of the courtyard. A compass appeared in her hands, and she began making calculations based on the aura in the surroundings.
"Li Three, Xun Five …"
Focusing her mind, Dong Xin divined nonstop. The more she divined, the more impressed she felt.
"The person who set up this Aura Sealing Formation is extremely powerful. The formation is able to fuse perfectly with the entire residence. Even I wouldn't be able to achieve such a feat …"
Even though the formation before her was only a 4-star pinnacle formation, it was able to fuse perfectly with the surroundings, exerting might comparable to a 5-star formation.
To be able to set up an ordinary 4-star formation to such a standard, the other party's strength was likely to be above hers.
"However, a 4-star formation is still a 4-star formation. No matter how well one sets it up, one will still be able to sneak in without anyone noticing …"
Dong Xin chuckled softly as confidence surfaced on her flawless face.
Her talent in formations far exceeded that of ordinary people. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted as the direct disciple of the principal of the Formation Master School.
This formation was able to exert the full might of a 4-star formation, but … due to the limitations of her cultivation, she would still be able to decipher it easily!
Taking a deep breath, Dong Xin was just about to find the Life Gate when the ground suddenly shook. A powerful shockwave rippled out from the center of the formation.
It seemed like some kind of powerful expert was trying to break free from the shackles of the formation and escape.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dong Xin hurriedly hid herself, only to hear the shockwave rippling out from within once more. Following which, a powerful surge of energy gushed into the surroundings, and with a loud crackling sound, the Aura Sealing Formation immediately shattered.
"To be able to destroy a 5-star formation with brute force … the person inside must have reached Saint realm!"
Dong Xin narrowed her eyes.
Even though this Aura Sealing Formation was only a 4-star pinnacle formation, the person who set it up was extremely skilled. Complementing the surrounding terrain and the formation, it was able to wield the might of a 5-star formation.
Yet, even with such might, it was still shattered in an instant. This showed that the strength of the person who had trapped the formation must have reached a frightening level.
Hong long!
While Dong Xin was astonished, a towering figure suddenly dashed out from the shattered formation.
"Is that … Senior Byzantium Helios?"
Dong Xin's body stiffened.
As a senior who had been in the academy for more than five years, she had seen the tamed beast of the old principal a few times before … But wasn't the old principal captured by the Otherworldly Demons?
Why would he be here?
Could it be …
Dong Xin's body stiffened, and endless fear welled up in the depths of her heart.
"Trying to escape? Vicious, take him down!"
While Dong Xin was still panicking, a nonchalant voice suddenly sounded. Following which, killing intent surged into the sky, filling the entire courtyard.
Padah!
Before Senior Byzantium Helios could even cry out in agony, he fell to the ground and convulsed uncontrollably.
"It's … an Otherworldly Demon!"
Dong Xin held her breath in fear, not daring to move at all. Her body was as stiff as a rock.
"The few of you, go and beat him to death!"
Following which, Zhang Xuan's voice sounded once more. Following which, twenty or so Saint realm Otherworldly Demons charged frenziedly toward Senior Byzantium Helios.
Pilipala!
With a series of punches and kicks, the lively Senior Byzantium Helios was knocked out in the blink of an eye. His body convulsed uncontrollably, and it seemed like he would die at any moment.
Covering her mouth tightly, Dong Xin sealed her pores tightly and hid in the leaves, not daring to make the slightest movement.
Even Senior Byzantium Helios wasn't a match for twenty Saint realm experts. If she were to be discovered, she would surely be killed on the spot!
"He fainted again …"
Through the gaps in the leaves, she saw Zhang Xuan walking out. Harrumphing coldly, he flicked his wrist and stowed the Byzantium Helios Beast away. After which, he glanced at the destroyed formation in the surroundings and fell into deep thought.
"This formation is too weak … It seems like I'll have to learn more powerful formations. I should head to the Formation Master School!"
Zhang Xuan muttered as he scanned the surroundings. Then, he turned around and left.
She was afraid that the young man would come back, so she hid in the tree and didn't dare to move. Dong Xin hid for a full three hours. When she saw that it was almost dark, she moved her slightly stiff body and hurriedly rushed out.
What she had seen today was simply too huge!
It was so huge that it left her feeling terrified!
It was no wonder Zhang Xuan was such a genius … It turned out that he wasn't a human!
It was said that the Otherworldly Demonic Kings could disguise themselves as humans, such that even Saint realm master teachers wouldn't be able to see through their disguise. She had thought that it was just a rumor, but to think that it was actually true!
An Otherworldly Demon had infiltrated the Master Teacher Academy and become a master teacher … If news of this were to spread, the entire academy would probably explode. In fact, even the entire Mingshi Tang Academy would be in an uproar!
"This won't do. I have to report this matter immediately …"
Recalling what she had seen, Dong Xin hurriedly rushed back to the Master Teacher Academy.
The implications of this matter were simply too great. As a student, it was impossible for her to hide it. Thus, she could only report it as soon as possible.
But … how many people would believe such a shocking story if he were to say it out loud?
Zhang Xuan was highly regarded by School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, School Head Wei, and even School Head Jiang. On top of that, he was on good terms with Pavilion Master Mo of the Master Teacher Academy, and he was also on good terms with Luo shi from the headquarter …
If she were to point out the matter without concrete evidence, not only would she be viewed as slandering others, her master teacher license might even be revoked!
"I should find my teacher to discuss this matter first …"
Many thoughts flashed across Dong Xin's mind.
As a person who had emerged from the Master Teacher Academy and established the Dong Xin Faction, she was definitely not a reckless person.
In the short period that Zhang Xuan had entered the academy, he had won the trust of tens of thousands of students, as well as the respect of the four school heads and Pavilion Master Mo … His standing was not something that she could compare with!
Without any concrete evidence, if she were to point it out recklessly, not only would she be unable to resolve the matter, she might even be revoked of her master teacher license or even … assassinated!
As such, she couldn't afford to be reckless. She had to be extremely careful!
"Even if my teacher believes me, my standing is beneath School Head Zhao, so I don't have the right to speak … Right, I should find School Head Lu Feng!"
A figure surfaced in Dong Xin's mind.
Even though his teacher, Chen Chengxun, had a high standing in the academy as well, he couldn't compare to Zhao Bingxu. If the other party were to intervene, it would be difficult for him to resolve the matter.
Unless … he could find the stand-in school head, Lu Feng!
Lu Feng had always been on bad terms with Zhang Xuan. If Dong Xin were to report this matter to the other party, she might be able to achieve a better result.
"I should find my teacher first and have my teacher find School Head Lu Feng … and tell him about this matter in front of them!"
Dong Xin gritted her teeth.
This matter involved too many things, and it wasn't something that could be done casually. She had to consider this matter carefully.
The most reliable person in the Master Teacher Academy at this moment was School Head Lu Feng.
Not only was he not on good terms with Zhang Xuan, they even had a conflict with one another. If she were to reveal this matter to the other party, it would surely draw the attention of the other party.
Hu!
With such thoughts in mind, Dong Xin dashed toward the residence of the Formation Master School's head without any hesitation.
