Chapter 1569: Dream Sword Sage’s Temper

“Indeed, the genuine article!”

Xing Jiansheng chuckled, his excitement evident on his face. After his son went missing, he had spent countless efforts searching and lived in constant anxiety for twenty years. Now, his son had appeared before him, just as he wished, and was even more powerful than him. The students he taught held high positions and were all exceptionally talented, unmatched through history... With such a son, what more could he ask for? He instantly felt like the luckiest person in the world.

“Since your Zhang Clan has reconciled, and he is a genius of your clan, it's indeed difficult to pursue the matter further... If the other two major powers can also reconcile and lift the arrest warrant, then it won't be an issue!” Ren Qingyuan paused before speaking.

For anyone else, even after reconciliation, the Master Teacher Pavilion would certainly make them pay a price. But now... five of his students were here: the Poison Hall Master, a powerful Soul Oracle, the future Hall Master of the Combat Master Hall, the Young Master of the Yuan Clan, and the President of the Spirit Awakener Guild... and he himself was the Zhang Clan Head... How could they be punished? Without punishment, his Master Teacher Pavilion, with over a dozen 9-star Master Teachers, nearly perished here. If this continued, wouldn't the entire Master Teacher Pavilion be shattered to pieces? At this point, since the Zhang Clan made the request, providing an easy way out, he was no longer inclined to stall.

“That's simple!” Xing Jiansheng chuckled and looked up at You Ruoxin, who was not far away: “Elder You, we're old acquaintances, having sparred together before. Would you mind doing me a favor? I will certainly come to your palace later to express my gratitude and compensate Icefield Palace for its losses...”

“This isn't about compensation; it's about our reputation! What if he is a genius of your Zhang Clan? He destroyed tens of thousands of years of our Icefield Palace's foundation, abducted our Young Palace Master, and ruined our very roots! This is an irreconcilable enmity...” You Ruoxin gritted her teeth. Without a Young Palace Master with a Pure Yin physique and the significant loss of vitality this time, it was only a matter of time before Icefield Palace became a third-rate power. A power that had flourished for tens of thousands of years was collapsing under her watch. This was certainly not something that could be resolved with a mere apology.

Seeing her filled with rage, Xing Jiansheng was about to reply when an angry voice suddenly rang out.

“Irreconcilable enmity, what? Do you want to lay a hand on my son? Go on, try it! Believe it or not, I'll go straight to Icefield Palace right now and kill you all! My son only destroyed a few of your buildings. If I go, I guarantee none of your elders will be left alive!” It was Meng Jiansheng. Having just met her son, filled with excitement, and seeing her husband apologize while the other party remained unyielding, she could no longer hold back and let out a fierce shout. She had previously felt pity for them and hadn't pursued the matter of them hunting her son, but now they wouldn't let it go. What, did they think they were easy to bully?

“I am no match for Meng Jiansheng's power, and I can't stop her if she wants to slaughter the people of my Icefield Palace. But... justice resides in people's hearts. Though the Zhang Clan is powerful, they cannot cover the sky with one hand!” You Ruoxin gritted her teeth.

“What if I do cover the sky with one hand? What are you going to do about it?!” Seeing this person still trying to play the hero, Meng Jiansheng flew into a rage. Disregarding further conversation with Zhang Xuan, her graceful figure flickered into the air, her long sword raised, ready to strike the Elder before her.

“Ah Meng, calm down, calm down...” Seeing his wife's fiery temper, Xing Jiansheng was startled and quickly stepped in to stop her. Although You Ruoxin's strength was not significant, she represented the Icefield Palace. If Meng Jiansheng were to kill her in front of Ren Qingyuan and the others, even the Zhang Clan would find it difficult to explain.

“Are you still a man? Someone's bullying your son, and not only do you not stand up for him, you even try to stop me?” Meng Jiansheng raised an eyebrow.

“I...” Xing Jiansheng's face was etched with a bitter expression: “Aren't I trying to mediate...?”

“If mediation works, what's the point of cultivation?” Meng Jiansheng flicked her sleeve: “If she doesn't agree, then we'll beat her until she does! I, Wang Mengya, have roamed the continent for so long, and I've never relied on moral persuasion. I rely on my fists and swordsmanship. If they don't submit, I'll beat them until they do!”

“This...” Xing Jiansheng's eyebrows twitched, unsure how to respond. He knew his wife's personality very well; it was precisely because of it that she had caused a stir several times in the Zhang Clan. If You Ruoxin really pressed the issue, Meng Jiansheng would truly dare to turn everything upside down.

“Our teacher's mother... she's truly fierce!” Zheng Yang and the others gulped, their eyes wide. The teacher's newly appeared mother was indeed domineering. She was even ready to go and directly destroy Icefield Palace... No wonder the teacher never suffered losses. With such genes, it would be strange if anyone who dared to harm him weren't utterly annihilated. Zhang Xuan's eyebrows also twitched. He had previously felt some resistance towards his suddenly appearing parents, but seeing his mother like this, he instantly found her to his liking and was filled with joy.

“Meng Jiansheng, please calm down. Fighting won't solve anything...” Seeing her causing such a commotion, Ren Qingyuan couldn't help but speak up.

“Won't solve anything? If you know it won't, then why did you bring so many 9-star Master Teachers to besiege my son? Do you think he's easy to bully? Fine, I won't beat Elder You, but you can let me beat you up... After all, you also attacked my son!” Meng Jiansheng spun around abruptly and glared at Ren Qingyuan.

“Ahem, you can... just pretend I didn't say anything...” Ren Qingyuan's scalp tingled. He wasn't really afraid of Meng Jiansheng alone, but the crucial point was Xing Jiansheng joining her... that would be difficult to handle! As the head of the Zhang Clan, Xing Jiansheng was reliable, understood the bigger picture, and had good judgment, but... he was a true doting husband. If his wife were truly bullied, he would go berserk, capable of punching a huge hole in the sky! Back when they were roaming the world, some minor powers, not knowing any better, provoked Meng Jiansheng. Xing Jiansheng immediately rushed over and nearly wiped out their entire clan... In any case, neither of them was an easy person to deal with. Especially the woman before him; she was like a barrel of gasoline, ready to explode at the slightest spark. She had been fearless even in her youth, causing such a stir at the Saint Son Temple that she was directly expelled... He had thought that after getting married and having children, her temper might improve, but to his surprise, it remained unchanged.

“Meng Jiansheng, I know you are powerful, but my Icefield Palace will never back down! Unless you truly kill every single one of us, don't even dream of making us swallow this insult through brute force...” You Ruoxin gritted her teeth, her head held high, her gaze firm. For the sake of Icefield Palace growing stronger, she didn't care about being reviled for generations, nor did she care if future Palace Masters would hold a grudge! Even if the person before her was powerful enough to kill her, what then? Zhang Xuan had caused their Icefield Palace to become a ruin and abducted the Young Palace Master; this was already an irreconcilable matter!

“Alright then, I'll see if you can truly bear it...” Seeing that her temper was even more stubborn than her own, Meng Jiansheng raised her long sword, about to make a move, when a calm voice suddenly rang out.

“Please calm down, Grand-Teacher's Mother. Let me handle this matter myself...”

*Boom!*

As soon as the words ended, the cocoon-like object before Zhang Xuan suddenly released an astonishing aura that soared skyward, as if it would tear the very heavens apart. Zhao Ya's meridians had been successfully reshaped!
