Chapter 1494: Pursuing Zhang Xuan

"Zhao Ya..."

Zhang Xuan's fists clenched suddenly, and a violent aura surged from his acupoints, as if he were about to explode.

Under normal circumstances, his communication jade token wouldn't have been able to receive a message from Zhao Ya due to the distance. This message originated from Chen Leyao of the Saint Son Hall. She must have received Zhao Ya's plea for help and then transmitted it to him using a special method. The communication jade token itself shattered, unable to withstand the immense power.

What exactly happened? What made her send such an urgent message without any warning?

Isn't she the Young Palace Mistress? Could something have happened at the Glacier Palace?

"Teacher..." Zhang Jiuxiao hastily looked over.

"Something has happened to your senior disciple sister, and I must go save her!" His eyes narrowed, Zhang Xuan straightened his back, standing tall like a pillar supporting the heavens, fearless in the face of any pressure.

Though he didn't know what Zhao Ya was experiencing, as her teacher, if she was in danger, he wouldn't flinch, even if it meant facing a mountain of blades or a sea of fire!

"Save her... how?" Zhang Jiuxiao was filled with worry.

He already knew the identity of this senior disciple sister. She was the dignified Young Palace Mistress of the Glacier Palace, her strength no less than his own, yet she couldn't handle the situation. Could rushing over really help?

The key was that the other party had only sent four words. He had no idea what had happened; it was completely in the dark.

"No matter what danger you face, as your teacher, I will not let you suffer any harm. This applies to her, and it applies to you. This is my promise as your teacher!"

Knowing what the other person was thinking, Zhang Xuan spoke, then grabbed mid-air, and the Headmaster's Token appeared in his palm.

"Before, I thought a single teleportation wouldn't be very useful, but now, it seems incredibly significant..." His eyebrows rose.

The Headmaster's Token, having opened its second seal, could transport him to a special secret realm in the Saint Son Hall. He had thought this was a redundant function, but it seemed he was wrong!

The message had just been transmitted by Chen Leyao. To find out what exactly happened, he first needed to return to the Saint Son Hall. Even if the Qilin Beast was much faster than Jian Qinsheng's sacred beast, flying back from the Zhang Clan would still take more than half a month!

With so much time passing, by the time he arrived, Zhao Ya would surely be in grave danger, and it would be too late to help!

However, with this teleportation array, it was different; he could quickly return to the Saint Son Hall without wasting time!

"Zhang Jiuxiao, I'm leaving first. Please tell Jian Qinsheng that I'm sorry I couldn't complete what I promised him. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll definitely help teach that Sword Saint Xingmeng a lesson..."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan gripped the Headmaster's Token tightly and instructed.

Jian Qinsheng had asked him to come and help defeat the Zhang Clan's sword techniques. Although he had defeated Zhang Xu and others, he hadn't yet competed with the Zhang Clan head, so the mission was incomplete.

However, with Zhao Ya in critical danger, he couldn't concern himself with anything else.

"Yes, Teacher..." Zhang Jiuxiao nodded quickly.

Forcing back the dizziness in his mind, Zhang Xuan said no more. He mobilized his internal energy and channeled it into the Headmaster's Token in his palm. The teleportation array within it activated in an instant.

A beam of light immediately enveloped him.

"Qilin Beast, Azure Dragon Beast, Ruthless Man, let's go!"

With a loud shout, he grabbed mid-air.

Whoosh!

The two great sacred beasts and the enormous head of the Ruthless Man vanished from their spots in the blink of an eye. The next moment, Zhang Xuan's shadow also faded and then disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it, an Otherworldly Demon, he's an Otherworldly Demon..."

No sooner had he disappeared than the Great Elder, who had been slammed into the ground, suddenly shot out, roaring, almost insane.

The enormous head that had just struck his face—though he didn't know what it was—clearly contained the pure bloodline of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's royalty!

This meant... not only was the opponent a Soul Oracle, but he also used methods of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!

A Master Teacher, a Soul Oracle, an Otherworldly Demon... Only a powerful member of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's royalty could achieve this!

Therefore, Zhang Xuan's identity was obvious... he was definitely a powerful member of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's royalty in disguise... No wonder he caused destruction the moment he arrived at the Zhang Clan, determined to cripple them!

The hatred between the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and humanity could never be resolved with just a few words.

Bursting from the ground, the Great Elder's divine sense spread out, searching everywhere for Zhang Xuan. Unfortunately, the surroundings were silent, with no one in sight.

"Where is he?" He glared at Zhang Jiuxiao, murderous intent boiling within him. He had personally seen this junior from the clan with the other person.

"Old... Teacher Zhang has already left using a teleportation array!" Zhang Jiuxiao nodded quickly.

"That's impossible!" The Great Elder was stunned, bloodshot veins appearing in his eyes. "Teleportation arrays, not to mention requiring strength beyond Saint 9-dan to set up, cost an immense amount to activate each time. Even though our Zhang Clan has them, we don't use them lightly. How could he have teleported away?"

Teleportation arrays could be set up by 9-star formation masters and involved the mysteries of space. Each use incurred an enormous cost. Even their Zhang Clan, the foremost clan on the continent, couldn't use them casually. Otherwise, the Clan Head wouldn't have departed by riding a sacred beast. How could that fellow have left using such a thing?

"He really did teleport away; I saw the spatial fluctuations with my own eyes..." Zhang Wuchen flew over. After being struck by lightning for a while, he had been severely injured and had only just recovered. Although he could fly, his internal injuries were still too severe. Without ten to half a month of recovery, it would be impossible for him to return to his peak.

"With such cultivation and at such an age, to possess such a heaven-defying formation, he must undoubtedly be from the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's royalty!"

Hearing Zhang Wuchen's confirmation, and searching again only to find that Zhang Xuan had indeed vanished without a trace, the Great Elder grit his teeth, his voice hoarse. If he had been unsure before, this time it was absolutely certain!

Under twenty years old, yet possessing such formidable strength, having Soul Oracle abilities, and employing Otherworldly Demonic Tribe methods... and now even using a teleportation array that the Zhang Clan rarely used—there was no doubt he was an Otherworldly Demonic Tribe royal, and one of high status!

For Master Yang to actually accept an Otherworldly Demon as a student was simply preposterous and a monumental absurdity!

"I, Zhang Wuhen, issue the Great Elder's Order: From today onwards, all members of the Zhang Clan must relentlessly pursue Zhang Xuan. Once captured, he is to be killed without question..."

He grit his teeth and let out a roar. As he spoke, a token flew into the sky, emitting a faint halo that spread in all directions, resonating throughout the entire Zhang Clan mansion.

Instantly, all Zhang clan disciples with Zhang bloodline heard the command.

The Great Elder's Order was second only to the Clan Head's Order. Once issued, all clan disciples had to obey it without question.

"Relentlessly pursue Zhang Xuan?"

Just as everyone was shocked by this command, an enraged female voice slowly rang out, as if it could explode at any moment: "Zhang Wuhen, how dare you!"
