Chapter 1506: Transfer Departure

The Saint Son Hall is protected not only by a guardian array but also by the Saint Son Grand Array, collaboratively formed by the elders. This formation is incredibly formidable, capable of concentrating the power of all its users into a single devastating attack. When activated, even the peak Saint Domain Ninth-Layer sacred beast might not stand a chance, let alone Teacher Zhang.

*Whoosh!* Before she had even finished speaking, the net-like formation in the sky had coalesced, completely shrouding the heavens above.

"Roar!" Recognizing the danger, the Flaming Qilin Beast roared again and charged fiercely towards them.

*Whoosh!* The net-like formation connected all around, acting as a conduit. Countless streams of true qi converged, and under the control of Teacher Zhan, instantly coalesced into a mighty torrent. This torrent, akin to a river bursting its banks, surged towards the charging Qilin Beast.

With a tremendous roar, the Qilin Beast was flung backward, unable to resist, much like a small boat caught in a raging flood. It crashed to the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust. Struck by the blast of light, the Qilin Beast roared in defiance, but it was pinned down, utterly unable to move.

Although none of the numerous elders had reached the Saint Domain Ninth-Layer individually, their combined power, amplified by the unique forces of the Saint Son Hall, caused the peak Ninth-Layer Qilin Beast to suffer a significant blow. A large crater formed in the ground. The Qilin Beast spat out a mouthful of golden blood, lay prostrate, struggled twice, and then could no longer stand.

"Hmph!" Having rendered the Qilin Beast motionless, Teacher Zhan's eyes narrowed coldly, and he sharply redirected the formation.

*Whoosh!* A beam of pristine white light surged directly towards Zhang Xuan's position. Judging by its power, it was even stronger than the attack that struck the Qilin Beast. If it were to land on him, given his current cultivation, death would be certain.

"Master!" The Infernal Azure Dragon rushed forward, but the attack was too swift. Even with its considerable speed, it was a few moments too late. Before it could reach him, the light enveloped its master, covering him completely.

"Zhang Xuan..." Not far away, Chen Leyao swayed, then collapsed to the ground. The immense power was palpable. She could clearly feel its destructive force; even her teacher, a peak Saint Domain Eighth-Layer super expert, would be unable to withstand it, let alone Zhang Xuan. At this point, she was certain he was dead.

"He didn't even dodge?" Teacher Zhan, floating in the air, was momentarily taken aback. Although the combined attack of the Saint Son Grand Array was incredibly fast, it still required preparation time. Teacher Zhan had anticipated that Zhang Xuan would attempt to flee, and even the aftershock would be enough to seriously injure him. That would have been sufficient. He hadn't expected Zhang Xuan to remain completely still and take the full brunt of the attack.

"Using his spirit beasts to confront the entire Saint Son Hall, destroying formations and buildings — even Teacher Yang would have nothing to say about this incident," Elder Ge scoffed. He understood the acting Hall Master's concerns: Teacher Zhang was a student of Teacher Yang Xuan, and his death would be difficult to explain. However, with so many students bearing witness to him using his spirit beasts to cause mayhem, his death would be entirely justified.

"I'm not concerned about that," Teacher Zhan replied, shaking his head. "It's just a pity that someone with such unparalleled talent would die this way." Although Teacher Yang held a respected position, he was also a man who respected rules. Zhang Xuan had caused such a massive disturbance that it would be impossible to conceal, and the responsibility lay entirely with him. His death, in that sense, would be unremarkable. Nevertheless, it was a considerable loss for someone so exceptionally gifted to be killed in such a manner.

"If one strays from the righteous path, the greater their talent, the greater the harm they can inflict upon humanity!" Elder Ge retorted coldly. What good was immense talent if it was used for malevolence? The more gifted such a person, the more terrifying they could become. Throughout the history of the Master Teacher Continent, countless brilliant and exceptionally talented individuals had strayed from the correct path simply because they could not control their own dispositions.

"That is true..." Teacher Zhan conceded, shaking his head and dismissing the thought. "Clear up the aftermath and report this matter to the Master Teacher Hall Headquarters as soon as possible."

"Yes..." Elder Ge replied. As he contemplated how to report the incident, he glanced down, and his pupils suddenly contracted. His body involuntarily swayed, and he nearly fell.

"What's wrong?" Teacher Zhan frowned.

"Hall Master... look!" Unable to articulate, Elder Ge quickly pointed downwards.

Teacher Zhan looked down, and after a single glance, he too staggered, his eyes widening in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

Below, within the massive crater caused by the light's impact, Zhang Xuan, who had taken the full force of the blow, was not only unharmed but seemingly untouched. In front of him, dozens of formation flags were embedded in the ground, glowing with a soft light. Within them, light pulsed and space shimmered.

"Is that... a teleportation array? Has it already been completed?" The formation flags had indeed formed a teleportation array. Observing the stable space within, it was clear that it had been successfully constructed, without a single flaw. A mere Void Realm cultivator, under the full assault of the Saint Son Grand Array, was not only unscathed but had also managed to construct a teleportation array... It couldn't be real...

"Qilin Beast, Azure Dragon, Chen Leyao, let's go!" The young man below chuckled, his voice clear and resonant. "My thanks to Teacher Zhan and all the elders for your power. Without it, I don't know how long it would have taken me to construct this formation. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

As his words concluded, he made a grasping motion in the air, and the two arriving sacred beasts were drawn into his spatial artifact. He then pulled Chen Leyao, enveloping her in a surge of true qi. The next instant, the teleportation array flashed, and the two vanished from sight.

"Don't let him escape!" Teacher Zhan finally reacted, roaring in fury once more. He hastily charged towards the teleportation array, intending to seal the spatial warp and prevent its operation. But just as he moved, a rapid surge of power erupted from within the formation. With a violent roar, the array instantly collapsed. The dozens of formation flags that had been embedded in the ground scattered in all directions, and the teleportation array completely vanished, destroying all traces as if it had never existed.

"This array not only had a teleportation function, but it also incorporated a self-destruct mechanism?" Teacher Zhan swayed, feeling as if he were losing his mind. He possessed extensive knowledge of formations; otherwise, he wouldn't be capable of wielding Ninth-Level formation flags. Under their attack, the opponent had not only constructed a teleportation array but had also concealed a self-destruct mechanism within it, designed to detonate as they approached after the teleportation was complete. This ensured that all traces vanished, making it impossible to determine their destination, even for those who had witnessed it. All clues were completely lost.

"Since this individual has escaped, he is bound to become a menace in the future. All students and elders of the Saint Son Hall, heed my command: beginning today, conduct thorough investigations everywhere. Should any trace of him be found, report it immediately without delay. If an opportunity arises... he may be killed on sight!" Teacher Zhan's eyes turned cold as he issued this decree. Despite their combined siege, the activation of the guardian array, and the efforts of all the elders, they had failed to detain him, and the hall had been left in ruins.
