Chapter 1530: Crazy Famous Teacher Hall Headquarters (Part 1)

In the Grand Council Hall of the Master Teacher Pavilion Headquarters, Acting Hall Master Ren Qingyuan sat formally, reviewing incoming messages. He then surveyed the room.

“Have the arrest warrants been issued everywhere?”

“Reporting to Acting Hall Master Ren, they have all been issued. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the news will spread across the entire continent within a day. As soon as Zhang Xuan appears, the Headquarters will receive word and immediately dispatch someone for his apprehension!” A Nine-star Master Teacher stepped forward and bowed. It was Elder Qu.

He had returned from the Glacial Palace to the Headquarters and reported all information to the Acting Hall Master, which was why the orders could be disseminated so quickly.

“Hall Master, the Master Teacher arrest warrant carries immense weight. Since the Master Teacher Pavilion’s establishment, it has only been used nine times. Although Zhang Xuan is somewhat willful, he is still a Master Teacher. Wouldn’t such an arrest undermine the Headquarters’ prestige and be making a mountain out of a molehill?” An old man, another elder from the Master Teacher Pavilion Headquarters, frowned.

“What do you mean, ‘making a mountain out of a molehill’?” Elder Qu retorted, flicking his sleeve. “Zhang Xuan, an Eight-star Master Teacher, disregarded hierarchy, impersonated a Grand Elder, damaged the Zhang Clan, ruined the Saint Son Hall, and destroyed the Glacial Palace’s ten-thousand-year foundation... Most importantly, he showed no remorse and attacked me, knowing I was from the Master Teacher Pavilion Headquarters! Such a person must be severely punished; otherwise, where is the Headquarters’ dignity? How can the Master Teacher Pavilion still claim to educate and instruct the world? His true qi can transform into poison, he can summon world-destroying lightning, he can disguise himself as Master Yang, making him hard to identify, and most importantly, his insight is unparalleled... If he genuinely turns to evil, the Master Teacher Pavilion will find him difficult to control! He must be handled quickly; otherwise, if he is allowed to roam freely, who knows how many major powers will face disaster.”

“I know what you’re saying, but I specifically reviewed his history. From Tianxuan Kingdom, he’s only been cultivating for a little over a year. He successfully challenged the Master Teacher Pavilion twice and passed the Master Teacher Tower once. Not only is his talent unparalleled, but he also tutored a kingdom, leading to its successful promotion, and in the Qingyuan Empire, he eliminated Emperor Qingtian, achieving countless merits... If we arrest him directly just for causing some trouble at the Zhang Clan, Saint Son Hall, and Glacial Palace, especially with the most severe Master Teacher arrest warrant, wouldn’t it be... a bit too extreme?” The elder who spoke earlier said anxiously.

Zhang Xuan’s records were all filed at the Master Teacher Pavilion, making it easy for the Headquarters to look them up.

“Elder Wu is right,” another elder interjected. “The Master Teacher Pavilion values talent, and great talents are often passionate and uninhibited. While Zhang Xuan has broken rules and caused quite a stir, he has also made significant contributions to humanity, especially in the Qingyuan Empire where he taught numerous students... I also find a direct arrest inappropriate.”

“Furthermore,” he continued, “he is Zheng Yang, the Battle Son of the Battle Master Hall’s, revered teacher. I fear that doing this might create even greater conflicts!”

“What if he is Battle Son Zheng Yang’s revered teacher? The Battle Master Hall has given him countless resources, and the Master Teacher Pavilion Headquarters has granted him use of the Spring and Autumn Hall. Is he going to rebel just because of a teacher from his youth?” Elder Qu sneered.

“You know I’m not talking about rebellion, but about creating discord. The Battle Son represents the Master Teacher Pavilion’s strongest combat power. If this incident causes disunity, it would be detrimental...” The elder from earlier quickly explained.

“Disunity? Hmph! Everything he has was bestowed by the Master Teacher Pavilion. If he’s still disloyal, what good is he?” Elder Qu retorted. “Such unhealthy tendencies cannot be allowed to fester, or the Pavilion will cease to be the Pavilion!”

“That’s just sophistry!” Elder Wu declared. “In the tradition of teachers, if a revered teacher suffers, and Battle Son Zheng Yang remains indifferent, who would trust him to command the Battle Master Hall?”

“If they can’t trust him, then replace him! Elder Wu, you should know that currently, the Master Teacher Pavilion remains the strongest force on the continent. Its authority cannot be lost...” Elder Qu rebuked.

“Enough!”

As the two sides prepared for more arguments, Acting Hall Master Ren Qingyuan shook his head and interrupted their conversation.

“I’ve considered everything you’ve said. To have such a genius is indeed a fortunate thing for the Master Teacher Pavilion. However... the Zhang Clan, the Glacial Palace, and the Saint Son Hall have all continuously reported, demanding severe punishment. Zhang Xuan has already crossed the Master Teacher Pavilion’s bottom line! If we don’t address this, I fear morale will falter, and more people will presume upon their talent to commit outrageous acts!”

“You are also aware of the current situation. We face the greatest crisis in tens of thousands of years. Humanity must remain stable and united as one to stand strong against this calamity. Otherwise, I fear it will be very difficult to overcome this challenge...”

“This...”

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent. Elder Wu and the other elder, who had just been arguing, also showed expressions of concern. After a moment, Elder Wu couldn’t hold back anymore: “Hall Master, that news... is it really true?”

“Absolutely true!” Master Ren nodded.

“The Spirit Emperor, who commands the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, would not easily venture into such danger. What could be his purpose in stealthily coming to our Human Continent? Is he not afraid of being jointly besieged and killed by us?” Recalling that news, Elder Wu still couldn’t believe it.

“It’s not just him; others have arrived as well. Do we still need to guess their intentions?” Master Ren shook his head.

“I know that changes have occurred in that place, and there have already been two waves of tremors. But whether it can truly appear, or will appear, no one can confirm. Yet, they all received the news?” Elder Wu was puzzled.

“The Master Teacher Continent is entering a period of turmoil. We must reduce internal strife and insubordination!” Master Ren sighed. “You all know what the alliance between the Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan entails, so I don’t need to elaborate. The Saint Son Hall, furthermore, contains the will of the Ancient Sage, which can guide our direction. Some time ago, I communicated with Sage Kuil’s will, and he told me that a new Hall Master has been found, whose talent is unparalleled and who will certainly meet the requirements before the impending events. I specifically asked Master Zhan about this, and he also told me that this new Hall Master should be Master Yang’s direct disciple, Feng Ziyi!”

“These two matters must not be chaotic. As for the Glacial Palace, it’s even more crucial; only those with innate constitutions can communicate with the heavens. If three places experience trouble simultaneously and are not handled properly, how can we appease the people? I am merely an Acting Hall Master, already lacking sufficient prestige. If true chaos erupts, let alone me, even Master Yang would be unable to suppress it, unless...” At this point, Master Ren’s gaze became distant, and his eyes revealed a mix of reverence and fervor: “Unless the legendary Heaven-Acknowledged Master Teacher, the true Hall Master, appears!”

“Heaven-Acknowledged Master Teacher? How could it be so easy to gain Heaven’s acknowledgment! In tens of thousands of years, only Master Kong has achieved that!”

“Indeed, that’s impossible...” The many elders simultaneously shook their heads.

“If a Heaven-Acknowledged Master Teacher truly appears, I would immediately prostrate myself before him and acknowledge him as my teacher!” Elder Qu also nodded, huffing.

“Acknowledge him as your teacher? If such a person truly exists, you probably wouldn’t even be qualified to be a disciple, would you?” Elder Wu curled his lips.

“I may not be qualified, but even if I can’t be a disciple, I’d be willing to serve as a subordinate!” Elder Qu declared, raising his chin.
