Chapter 1561: Master's Order Mutation

"Not late, just in time!"

Zheng Yang smiled slightly, seeing Zhang Wuhen completely unprepared and driven straight into the ground.

With his eyesight, he could easily tell that Yuan Tao's strength was far from a match for the Great Elder. However, this junior disciple had fallen straight down from tens of thousands of meters high. His weight combined with his falling speed had already exceeded the sound barrier. Zhang Wuhen, drawn in by his aura, had not expected an attack from above.

He was hit instantly, and while not dead, he was severely injured and unable to move for a short period.

For the esteemed Great Elder of the Zhang Clan, one of the most powerful experts of the age, to be sat into the ground before even having a chance to use his bloodline power was an absolute disgrace.

"That's good!"

Yuan Tao patted his rear, stood up, and seemed to just realize, "Elder Wuhen, why are you here?"

"You... Pfft!"

Seeing this guy almost sit him to death, yet pretending to be so innocent, Zhang Wuhen spat out another mouthful of blood. He felt a suffocating tightness in his chest, couldn't catch his breath, and nearly died on the spot.

"Elder Wuhen, our Yuan Clan and Zhang Clan have been friends for generations, always keeping to our own affairs. Why would you come nowhere else but directly under my backside? I haven't washed my bottom for days, and I went to the toilet before coming here and couldn't find any toilet paper... You being down there, this, this is so embarrassing! Come out, quickly come out, I'll help you heal..."

Yuan Tao, looking flustered, stretched out his hand, directly grasped the Great Elder's head, and pulled him out of the ground like a radish.

"Pfft!"

Feeling his neck about to be pulled off, the Great Elder spat out blood again, the intense humiliation nearly making him explode.

For the Great Elder of the Zhang Clan, the most powerful figure besides the Clan Head, to be so humiliated by a junior in his teens was utterly unbearable!

He was so enraged he was about to explode, and was circulating his true qi, intending to thoroughly teach the other party a lesson to repay the humiliation. Just then, he saw the plump young man in front of him look at Zhang Xuan, who was not far away, with a troubled expression: "Teacher, the Great Elder's injuries are very severe. I remember Teacher once had a method of 'beating therapy.' I wonder if you could teach it to me so I can treat him..."

"'Beating therapy'?"

Zhang Wuhen's face twitched; he was almost in tears.

He was already disfigured from being sat upon, and now he would be beaten... Is this what you meant by 'friends for generations'?

"Junior Brother Yuan Tao, you're mistaken. Teacher's method isn't 'beating therapy,' but 'beating beast taming.' No matter how powerful a Saint Beast is, after a good beating, it will docilely submit!"

Seeing his confusion, Zheng Yang reminded him.

"Oh, yes, it's 'beating beast taming'... I remembered wrong, my apologies... Oh, I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring any healing elixirs. Junior Sister Ruyan, do you have any good healing medicine? Could you lend me some? You poison masters deal with medicinal ingredients every day, so you should have plenty of these..."

Yuan Tao looked up at the girl nearby.

"I have plenty of healing poisons here. After taking them, I can guarantee that your injuries will be perfectly restored within ten breaths, and you'll be as peaceful as if you were alive..."

Wei Ruyan extended her jade-like hand and offered a jade bottle.

"Thank you, Junior Sister. This clearly looks like good medicine. Elder Wuhen, I truly didn't mean to just now... Hey, Elder, don't run away..."

Taking the jade bottle, Yuan Tao turned, intending to give it to the Great Elder, only to see the man he had just pulled from the ground already fleeing far away, an exasperated expression on his face.

If he hadn't been severely injured, he probably would have exploded in rage and charged over already.

"What a pity... such good medicine..."

Seeing the Great Elder refuse such an excellent elixir and instead run away, Yuan Tao shook his head helplessly and looked at Zheng Yang: "Since I wasn't late, who should I compete against?"

"You don't need to act. This woman is mine!"

Waving her hand, Wei Ruyan raised her delicate eyebrows and stared intently at Elder You Ruoxin of the Glacier Palace, who was not far away: "Elder You Ruoxin, you slandered my teacher and caused the Master Teacher Pavilion to hunt him down. Now I challenge you. Do you dare to fight me?"

"You..."

Challenged, You Ruoxin's face flushed and paled alternately.

She had witnessed Wei Ruyan's power when she first appeared; she was invincible. Even a 9-star Master Teacher could be easily poisoned to death. Although You Ruoxin's strength was not weak, compared to Wei Ruyan, there was still a significant gap.

"What, are you scared?"

With a light chuckle, Wei Ruyan turned to look at Master Zhan, who was not far away: "And you?"

"I..."

Master Zhan's face twitched; he dared not answer.

He was only at the early stage of Saint 9-dan, significantly weaker than Elder Qu and others. Compared to Wei Ruyan, he was not in the same league at all.

If he truly engaged, he probably couldn't even withstand a single move!

"How about this? I won't bully you. All the experts from Glacier Palace and the Saint Son Hall, come at me together!"

Wei Ruyan flicked her sleeve and looked over coldly.

"Palace Master Wei, don't go too far!" Unable to hold back any longer, You Ruoxin shouted loudly.

"Going too far? Did you think about 'going too far' when so many of you besieged my teacher? Today, whether you want to fight or not, you will fight!"

With a cold snort, Wei Ruyan stomped her foot on the ground and flew straight towards You Ruoxin. Before she even reached her, poisonous gas dispersed all around, like swirling mist.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you. Although your poison arts are formidable, it won't be easy to humiliate me..."

Knowing she couldn't avoid it, You Ruoxin let out a loud shout and abruptly pointed her finger forward.

In an instant, the air temperature around them dropped, and it seemed as if everything within tens of kilometers was about to freeze.

Knowing her opponent's strength, You Ruoxin showed no mercy in her attack, directly releasing the most powerful pure Yin energy from her body.

"Now this is more like it..."

Wei Ruyan smiled faintly, completely unconcerned by the chilling aura released by her opponent. Instead, she walked forward step by step, and when still over two hundred meters away from You Ruoxin, she suddenly thrust her palm forward.

Boom!

A wave of faint yellow energy surged forward. You Ruoxin's chilling aura, upon contact, recoiled and fell continuously from the air as if poisoned.

"Such formidable poison arts..."

Everyone around felt their scalps tingle.

To be able to poison even true qi to the point of immobility—the Innate Poison Body was indeed one of the most terrifying physiques in the world.

"These children have all grown up..."

Zhang Xuan revealed a look of satisfaction once more.

The last time these students stood up for him was in Tianxuan Kingdom, where several of them had to combine their efforts to defeat Lu Xun. Now, each of them had become a powerful figure, possessing the strength to confront the Master Teacher Pavilion alone!

The speed of their transformation was astonishing.

"My efforts weren't in vain..."

As he was reflecting, feeling that any amount of hardship was worth it for a teacher to witness this scene, his eyebrows suddenly twitched. He flipped his wrist, and a token appeared in his palm.

It was precisely the Hall Master Token that Lu Chong had snatched from Ren Qingyuan.

The token was now throbbing excitedly, feeling hot in his hand.
