Lu Feng wasn't the only one who felt that way. The mouths of the others twitched as well.
Even though most of the school heads admired Zhang Xuan, they still had to consider their standing.
It was just like how Elder Mi wanted to take Zhang Xuan in as his disciple, Zhao Bingxu wanted to accept Zhang Xuan as his disciple, and Wei Ranxue only wanted to learn from him... Yet, this fellow actually acknowledged Zhang Xuan as his teacher!
Acknowledging him as a teacher was equivalent to lowering one's seniority. If Zhang Xuan acknowledged him as his teacher, wouldn't that make all of them juniors?
"That's right!"
School Head Jiang harrumphed coldly. "If this is what you want to talk about today, I won't be accompanying you any longer!"
After saying those words, he turned around and walked out of the room.
If the other party's words were just to humiliate his teacher and exact vengeance for a personal grudge, there was no point in holding this meeting!
"You can't leave!"
Lu Feng bellowed with a darkened face.
He had kept this matter a secret for so long. If this fellow were to leave, it would surely be revealed. What if Zhang Xuan were to escape?
Jiang Qingqin's eyebrows shot up as he turned around. "Are you intending to make a move on me?"
"That's right. If anyone dares to leave today, don't blame me for not showing mercy..."
Narrowing his eyes, Lu Feng no longer cared about the consequences of his actions. Raising his hand, he executed the Hands of Great Inarticulate once more, and a massive palm print flew straight toward School Head Jiang.
With the strength of a Half-Spiritual Perception realm expert paired with a Spirit pinnacle battle technique, the air in the room burst from the immense pressure.
"Others might be afraid of you, but I am not!"
Seeing that Lu Feng was really going to make a move, Jiang Qingqin abruptly turned around, and with a flick of his wrist, a massive zither appeared before him. It floated quietly in the air, and with a flick of his fingers, he began playing the zither.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
A sonic wave shot straight toward Lu Feng.
Boom!
The sonic wave collided with the palm print. Just as Lu Feng was about to crush the other party, his face suddenly reddened, and he was forced to retreat several steps. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
"A Seven Star demonic tunist?"
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes.
Even though the other party's cultivation wasn't as high as his, his comprehension of demonic tunes had already reached the seventh level. Even a Saint 2-dan expert might not necessarily be a match for him!
In a single clash, his soul had already sustained severe injuries!
"Not bad. After receiving teacher's guidance, I have already broken through!" Jiang Qingqin was filled with pride.
If not for Miss Zhang, he would still be stuck at the sixth level, unable to break through for the rest of his life. How could he let the other party off for insulting his teacher?
"Mu shi …"
Lu Feng had thought that he had become the number one master teacher of the Ten Great Master Teachers after achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation, but who could have thought that he would be defeated by School Head Jiang in a single move? Indignant, he gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to Mu shi.
"Alright, School Head Jiang, please calm down as well. Since Dong Xin has sworn on her identity as a master teacher, there's no problem with her words!"
Mu shi waved his hands and said, "Why don't we have Zhang Xuan explain the situation to us? Even if it is really a misunderstanding, he should be able to clear up the misunderstanding. If you are truly an Otherworldly Demon, don't even think about leaving! "
"This …"
Hearing Mu shi's words, Jiang Qingqin hesitated for a moment before returning to her seat. "Alright, I'll listen to Mu shi's arrangements. However, I hope to invite him over as a master teacher and not as a hostage. I don't want anyone to disrespect my teacher!"
"Alright!" Mu shi nodded.
Even though Dong Xin had sworn on her identity as a master teacher that what she had seen was true, Zhang Xuan was still a master teacher. If they were to capture him and find out that it was a misunderstanding, they wouldn't be able to clear up the misunderstanding!
Besides, if the other party was truly an Otherworldly Demon, he would surely sense it in advance. If he were to escape, it would be even more difficult to capture him.
"Alright, I have no objections then!" Jiang Qingqin nodded.
"Un. Lu Feng, did you hear what I said earlier? Send someone to invite Zhang Xuan over and have him confront Dong Xin. I hope that he will be able to clear up the matter. If he isn't able to do so … I will make a move myself!"
Mu shi said.
"Yes!"
Lu Feng nodded. He pushed open the door and walked out. A moment later, he returned. Clearly, he had already arranged for his subordinates to be sent over.
…
While the area was bustling with activity, Zhang Xuan landed on the Great Violetwing Beast.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, he saw the Byzantium Helios Beast and Sun Qiang walking over.
"Master!"
At this moment, the Byzantium Helios Beast exuded an aura reminiscent of a majestic dragon, and it felt as if it would burst forth from its body at any moment. It was much stronger than before, and its eyes were especially sharp and sharp.
"You have achieved a breakthrough?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Saint 2-dan Spiritual Perception realm. Even though the increase in strength wouldn't be as exaggerated as when one advanced from Nascent Saint to Saint realm, one's fighting prowess would increase by more than twofold.
Spiritual Perception allowed one to perceive even the most minute of movements in one's surroundings. This was not something that the naked eye could compare with.
Only upon reaching this realm could one be considered to have truly comprehended the essence of Saint realm and become a true Saint.
"Yes!" The Byzantium Helios Beast nodded.
It was already not too far away from achieving a breakthrough, but after assimilating the inner core of the Ancient Ape, it had managed to overcome its bottleneck and reach Saint 2-dan today.
"Good!" With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a huge gourd and passed it over. "This is the Earth Vein Spirit Essence. It will help you reinforce your cultivation!"
For so many saint beasts of the Cloudmist Ridge to risk their lives to guard the Earth Vein Spirit Essence, it must be extremely beneficial to them.
"Thank you, Master!"
Uncorking the bottle, the Byzantium Helios Beast saw the concentrated spiritual energy within, and its body trembled.
The value of the liquid inside the gourd was definitely worth more than ten High-Grade Spiritual Stones.
The fact that he casually gave it to it was enough to show that he had no doubt about it.
After instructing the Byzantium Helios Beast, Zhang Xuan turned to Sun Qiang and asked, "Un. Did anything happen while I was gone?"
"It's nothing much, it's just that …" Sun Qiang frowned. "Hu Yaoyao sent a messenger over a few days ago, saying that our residence is being monitored …"
"Being monitored?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
Hu Yaoyao was in charge of the Bewitching Devil Faction, and there were countless experts under her command. Since he had said that he was being monitored, it was most likely true.
"Did you find out who it was?"
"I'm still too weak. I tried to look into it a few times, but the other party managed to avoid my detection …" Sun Qiang's face reddened.
His current cultivation wasn't even at Consonant Spirit realm yet. While he could still be considered as a formidable expert in a Tier-2 Empire, in the capital of a Tier-1 Empire, he was nothing much.
"Master, I know about this matter. It's an elder of the Master Teacher Academy!" the Byzantium Helios Beast interjected.
Having achieved a breakthrough to Spiritual Perception realm, he was able to see the situation in the surroundings clearly.
Even though Sun Qiang was unable to detect anything, the Byzantium Helios Beast was able to do so.
"An elder of the Master Teacher Academy? Why are they monitoring me? "Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Even though he had crippled several academies, it shouldn't be enough for the academy to dispatch an elder to monitor me!
After a moment of recollection, the Byzantium Helios Beast replied, "I released my Spiritual Perception when I was making a breakthrough, and I happened to overhear their conversation … It seems like that lad Lu Feng wants to summon the Ten Great Master Teachers to put you on trial. As for the reason behind it, he didn't say anything, so I'm not too sure either!"
When it was making a breakthrough earlier this morning, it had released its Spiritual Perception, and it just so happened that it was able to 'see' the conversation of the elders in the residence.
"Put you on trial?" Zhang Xuan blinked.
Back when he was conducting a lecture in the Apothecary School, School Head Lu Feng had summoned the Ten Great Master Teachers to request for him to be stripped of his master teacher license, but the other party didn't agree to it.
School Head Jiang had already told him about this matter. Could it be that the other party was unwilling to accept it and wanted to try it again?
Since he had failed the first time, it was unlikely that he would succeed even if he tried it again!
"It seems like they have some important evidence in their hands that will render you unable to refute them …" the Byzantium Helios Beast said.
"I heard that on top of summoning the Ten Great Master Teachers, they are going to inform Pavilion Master Mo Gaoyuan as well … and even use the Saint-tier artifact, [Jin Yuan Ding]!"
It seemed like the elders in charge of monitoring Zhang Xuan didn't know too much about the matter either. Even though the Byzantium Helios Beast had heard their conversation, it was only a few words, making it hard for him to decipher the truth.
"Jin Yuan Ding?"
"It's the Guardian Artifact of the Master Teacher Academy, and it's under the control of the principal. Even a Saint realm 3-dan expert would be able to slay it easily!"
The Byzantium Helios Beast said. "However, ever since its master's death, the Guardian Artifact has been hibernating, and no one has been able to command it. Unless … the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe invades us! "
Zhang Xuan frowned.
If that was the case, it would be a huge matter!
But … what did monitoring him have to do with the invasion of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe? Could it be that … the news of the puppets and Vicious had been leaked?
If that was the case, it would be troublesome to explain the matter.
Putting aside the fact that he had tamed a formidable figure like Vicious, just the fact that he had so many Otherworldly Demon puppets was already a huge problem.
"Teacher …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was frowning, unsure of what Lu Feng was up to, he suddenly saw Zheng Yang rushing into the room.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Teacher, Vice School Head Zhou Qing and Vice School Head Wei of the Apothecary School have come to pay you a visit. They said that they would like to invite you to the academy to discuss an important matter."
Zheng Yang said.
"Invite?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed. "What's their attitude?"
"Their attitude is good, and they are currently waiting in the lounge," Zheng Yang replied with a perplexed look.
The Apothecary School and his teacher were already on bad terms. For them to suddenly come over to invite him over left him perplexed.
"Their attitude is good? Yet, they still want to monitor me? It seems like they have some kind of evidence in hand, and they are afraid that I will learn of it in advance.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xuan to come to a realization.
It was just a moment ago that the other party heard that he was being monitored and that he was going to request for a killing artifact like Jin Yuan Ding to invite him over, and on top of that, his attitude was good as well … There was no way Zhang Xuan would believe that there was no problem with the other party.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
Not to mention, Zhang Xuan had interacted with Lu Feng before, and he knew that the latter was definitely not a kind person.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan waved his hands and said, "Byzantium Helios, enter the Myriad Anthive Nest for now. I will call you out if there's a need!"
"Yes!"
Nodding, the Byzantium Helios Beast dived into the Myriad Anthive Nest.
The previous Myriad Anthive Nest had a diameter of more than ten meters at the moment, making it extremely spacious.
After making arrangements for the Byzantium Helios Beast, Zhang Xuan was just about to meet the two vice school heads when he suddenly paused for a moment. He had Zheng Yang and Sun Qiang leave first before releasing his clone.
Following which, he took out a storage ring and passed it over.
Vicious and the Kong Shi scroll that he had just obtained were both within the storage ring. If something were to happen, he would have no choice but to call 'Yang shi' to resolve the issue.
His clone shared the same soul with him, so as long as it didn't enter the storage ring, he would be able to communicate with it at any time.
