Chapter 1571: Unforeseen Circumstances (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Lightning tribulations were the world’s punishnt toward cultivators for getting ahead of themselves. There was no cultivator who was not fearful of lightning tribulations.
Even soone as powerful of Luo Qingchen would turn pale in the face of a lightning tribulation, requiring much preparation before he dared clash with it.
Yet, this young man had simply crushed all of their expectations. Everyone had thought that he would utilize so kind of formidable technique in order to chase away the lightning tribulation, but who would have thought... with just a simple reprimand and threat, the lightning tribulation actually backed off in fear!
No cultivator on the Master Teacher Continent could have imagined that such a thing would actually be possible!
Was this still the lightning tribulation that they knew of?
“Have you recorded it?”
“We have recorded it, but... will we really be able to learn sothing like this?” An elder’s apprehensive voice sounded from behind.
“It’s unlikely...” Luo Qingchen shook his head and sighed.
If any of them dashed right up to the lightning tribulation and spouted such words, they would be reduced to cinders in the blink of an eye.
Such an action was as good as challenging the authority of the heavens!
Yet, despite his brazen actions, the young man had actually walked away from the ordeal unhard. Could he actually not be the son of the Xingng Sword Saints but the illegitimate son of the heavens themselves?
“Phew, I managed to overco this hurdle...” Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that he had already traumatized the lightning tribulation through his past experiences with it. Otherwise, if the lightning tribulation had really fallen, he would have been in deep trouble.
Returning to the ground, Zhang Xuan walked up to Luo Xuanqing and smiled. “Alright, I have driven off the Macrocosm Ascendancy Ordeal. Let’s continue our fight!”
“...”
Luo Xuanqing felt a prickling sensation on his scalp.
Continue your head!
How can an ordinary mortal like possibly fight against soone who could scare off a lightning tribulation with just words? Isn’t that asking for a beating?
“Forget it! It would be impolite for to lay my hands on a guest like you...” Luo Xuanqing hurriedly shook his head vehently.
He had already made up his mind. From that day forth, he would no longer compare himself with the inhuman freak before him!
Hearing that Luo Xuanqing was unwilling to fight with him anymore, Zhang Xuan sighed in disappointnt. A mont later, he raised his head and looked at Luo Xuanqing expectantly. “Then... Brother Luo, can you bring to et your younger sister?”
With what he desired finally within reach, he could no longer retain his usual composure.
Knowing that his younger sister was the only edge that he had against Zhang Xuan at the mont, Luo Xuanqing waved his hand in feigned impatience. “You’ll et during the engagent ceremony tomorrow. You can at least wait one more day, right?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly. “Alright then!”
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was really disappointed, a playful smile erged on Luo Xuanqing’s face as he asked, “Do you really want to et her?”
He was delighted to see Zhang Xuan’s disappointnt, not just for his personal vengeance but for his younger sister as well. After all, this ant that his younger sister carried significant weight in Zhang Xuan’s heart.
“Of course!” Zhang Xuan quickly nodded.
“Well, I guess it can’t be helped if that’s the case,” Luo Xuanqing said. “I can arrange for a secret eting with my younger sister for you, but just for a short mont, alright?”
The real reason he had co here to find Zhang Xuan was to test the latter’s feelings for his younger sister, as well as to allow the two lovebirds to have a short eting prior to the engagent.
Without a doubt, he was certain that Zhang Xuan really harbored feelings for his younger sister. Given so, it would be pointless for him to make things difficult for the latter.
While it was a breach of propriety for the couple to et privately just ahead of the engagent, rules were ultimately just rules. Even if they were caught, the elders of both clans would only shrug it off as the recklessness of youth and turn a blind eye to it.
Besides... the young man before him was not only the young prodigy and clan head of the Zhang Clan but the head of the Sanctum of Sages and Yang shi’s senior!
“Is this for real?” Zhang Xuan’s face imdiately lit up in happiness.
“Of course, when have I ever not ant my words!” Luo Xuanqing harrumphed impatiently. “Wait here for a mont, I’ll go make so arrangents...”
Zhang Xuan anxiously nodded in response. Just as he was about to thank Luo Xuanqing for his help, an elder of the Zhang Clan suddenly rushed into the main hall. “Clan Head!”
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Xuan frowned upon seeing the grim look on the elder’s face.
“We have just received news that Court Chief Zhao and Hall Master Wei of the Glacier Plain Court and Poison Hall have gone missing!” the elder reported anxiously.
“Missing?” Zhang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing those words, and he abruptly rose to his feet. Narrowing his eyes coldly, he questioned, “What do you an by that? What happened?”
“I-I don’t know... It appears that there was so kind of fight, then the both of them suddenly went missing. The Zhang Clan has already dispatched so n to investigate the issue,” the elder reported.
“After fully awakening her unique constitution, Zhao Ya is able to stand her ground even against Great Sage experts. On the other hand, Wei Ruyan’s poison is able to curb even Pavilion Master Ren Qingyuan... Yet, the two of them actually went missing? Did they not even have any ti to send out a help ssage?” Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly in disbelief.
Even when Zhao Ya was captured by You Ruoxin back then, she had still been able to find an opportunity to send a ssage to him asking for help. Just who in the world had the ability to make the two of them vanish, such that they could not even afford to send a help ssage to him?
“I’m afraid I don’t know!” the elder shook his head fearfully.
Zhang Xuan took in a deep breath to calm himself down before instructing, “Do you know where the battle occurred? Bring over to take a look!”
The Zhang Clan’s intelligence was unlikely to be inaccurate. Chances were that sothing had really happened to Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan, so there was no ti for him to be idling around.
If he wanted to know what had happened, he would have to drop by the area personally. Otherwise, it could already be too late by the ti the others were able to get to the bottom of the matter!
The elder nodded in response. “The battle occurred in the vicinity of the Empire Alliance. Court Chief Zhao and Hall Master Wei were on their way back after resolving the issue that day when sothing happened to them...”
“In the vicinity of the Empire Alliance? Very well!” After confirming the location, Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Xuanqing and clasped his fist apologetically. “Brother Luo, I...”
Knowing that this matter was far more important, Luo Xuanqing nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, you should hurry over to investigate the situation. If there’s anything that I can help you with, feel free to contact !”
“Thanks!”
Zhang Xuan walked out to the courtyard and took out the grade-9 formation flags that his mother had given him. It did not take him too long to construct a Teleportation Formation.
“Xuan-er, I’ll co with you!” Seemingly having heard of the matter as well, Sword Saint ng suddenly rushed over. “Don’t worry, your father and Yang shi are here, so they will be able to handle matters here promptly. I don’t feel too assured leaving you on your own. If anything happens on the other side, at least I’ll be able to cover you!”
Most preparations for the engagent had been prepared, and Sword Saint Xing and Yang shi were around to settle whatever administrative matters there were, so there should not be any problems on their end.
“Un!” Zhang Xuan nodded.
While he had managed to achieve a breakthrough to Saint 9-dan, it was still a little difficult for him to activate the Teleportation Formation with his current strength. Thus, it would indeed be helpful to have his mother tagging along.
“Let’s go!”
Having made up their minds, the duo swiftly got to action. With Sword Saint ng infusing her strength into the Teleportation Formation, it soon shone into activation.
Hu! Hu!
The duo vanished simultaneously from the spot.
The next mont, they were already in the vicinity of the Empire Alliance.
“According to the directions from the Eighth Elder, it should be over there...” Sword Saint ng quickly scanned the surroundings and pointed in a direction.
Swiftly advancing ahead, it did not take the two of them too long to arrive at the foot of a mountain. This mountain had been forcefully sliced in half by so formidable force, and the greenery on it had been completely destroyed. From this, it could be seen that an earth-shattering battle had occurred not too long ago.
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly together.
There was a layer of frost over the entire area. Without a doubt, it had been left by Zhao Ya.
At the sa ti, the plants in the area had taken on a dark yellow shade, a sign that they had been poisoned to death. From the looks of it, that seed to be Wei Ruyan’s doing.
Initially, Zhang Xuan had thought that they had been taken down separately, but contrary to his expectations, the two of them had actually been fighting side by side when they were subdued.
Just who in the world wielded such trendous power?
Putting aside the Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan, probably even the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters would not be able to take those two away discreetly!
“Could it be... that Otherworldly Demonic Emperor?” Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed in astonishnt.
