Chapter 1635: Again Becoming the Clan Leader

At a loss for what to do, Zhang Xuan could only step forward, holding the other's arms. "There's no need to be so polite; we can be friends..."

Luo Xuanqing had been very much to Zhang Xuan's liking ever since they met. Although he didn't end up becoming Zhang Xuan's brother-in-law, but rather Luo Qiqi's brother, Zhang Xuan's initial positive feelings for him never changed.

I treat you like a brother, yet you want to become my disciple...

"That Zhang Xuan from the Zhang Clan insulted my Luo Clan's dignity and hurt my sister. I will never rest until he is dead! But his strength is growing daily, and I can no longer catch up. I hope Master can teach me the method to comprehend the True Sealing Art! After I learn it, I will avenge myself and my family. If I don't kill that vile scoundrel, I swear I am not a human being..."

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xuanqing remained kneeling.

Zhang Xuan's vision swam, and he stumbled, almost fainting. His head felt like it was splitting. He could only try to comfort him, "Well... that Zhang Xuan might not have done it on purpose..."

I treat you like a brother, and not only do you want to become my disciple, but you also want to kill me... What did I do to deserve this?

"Just because it wasn't on purpose, he can make my sister sad and then disregard it? Just because it wasn't on purpose, he can insult the Luo Clan and then just walk away without consequences?" Luo Xuanqing looked up. "I beg you, Senior, please fulfill my wish! As long as you take me as your disciple, I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire without hesitation!"

"This..."

Zhang Xuan was truly driven mad.

He knew he shouldn't have come to the Luo Clan. What a mess.

Not only were they asking him to be the Clan Head, but his only acknowledged friend wanted to become his disciple. The crucial part was that the disciple's goal was to kill him...

In this case, should he teach him or not?

Filled with frustration, he turned and looked at Luo Ruoxi again. He saw her smiling, as if she had expected this situation all along and wasn't surprised in the least.

"Ruoxi, did you know I would be detected with Luo Clan bloodline? Could it be... because of that disguise talisman of yours?"

A thought struck him, and remembering something, he couldn't help but transmit his voice to her.

He was definitely not a member of the Luo Clan; that much was certain. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to perfectly match the Zhang Clan's young genius and even burn the Zhang Clan bloodline.

Since he wasn't, yet his bloodline was tested as "nine," after much thought, there was only one possibility: Luo Ruoxi's disguise talisman was problematic!

"Yes," Luo Ruoxi replied via voice transmission. "It was condensed from the special True Qi of those with unique physiques. Not only can it change appearance and soul aura, but it can even disguise one's bloodline as that of any desired race, to the point where even Ancient Sages cannot detect it. Besides, you've comprehended the True Sealing Art. If you reach the Ancient Sage level, the bloodline you leave behind will be identical to theirs. Reaching a nine is nothing..."

"This..."

Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and his body swayed.

After all this trouble, it really was the talisman's problem. He knew he shouldn't have used it...

But to be able to disguise even bloodlines... That's too powerful!

How come he had never heard of such a thing existing in the world before?

"Brother Tianya, please don't refuse," Luo Qianzhen said. "The Luo Clan truly needs a new Clan Head now..."

Seeing Zhang Xuan's expression constantly change, Luo Qianzhen thought he was unwilling and couldn't help but quickly speak.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but... I'm really not suitable to be the Luo Clan Head..." Zhang Xuan shook his head. "How about this, I need to consult with my wife!"

This situation arising was all because of Luo Ruoxi's talisman; otherwise, he would have escaped long ago.

He had no other way and could only use her as a shield.

"Your wife is here too?"

Hearing that he wanted to consult his wife, Luo Qianzhen was momentarily stunned, then spoke.

"Indeed..." With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan looked in a certain direction and extended his hand: "Lingxi, come over!"

She hadn't expected this guy to try to pass the buck to her. Seeing everyone look her way and unable to avoid it, Luo Ruoxi could only nod helplessly. Her delicate figure soared, flying onto the high platform.

"Clan Head Luo, I promised my wife to travel the world with her for a lifetime. Power and nobility are like fleeting clouds to me... Therefore, your kind offer can only be forsaken!"

Squeezing Luo Ruoxi's hand, Zhang Xuan secretly transmitted his voice: "Help me refuse this..."

"This..."

Having her hand squeezed in public, Luo Ruoxi's face flushed, and she shot a glare at the guy in front of her. "Since you want me to speak, I'll say something fair! Actually... for Tianya to be your Clan Head, there's nothing wrong with that!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xuan staggered, his eyes almost popping out.

Why aren't you following the script?

That's not what I wanted you to say...

"However," Luo Ruoxi continued with a nod, "he is devoted to cultivation and cannot handle clan affairs. Furthermore, the purpose of his return this time is to pass down the method of comprehending the True Sealing Art and allow the Luo Clan to emerge from the shadow of the broken engagement... As long as Clan Head Luo can agree to this condition, being Clan Head is no problem!"

"Good, I agree!"

Luo Qianzhen quickly nodded.

They could handle the clan affairs he wouldn't deal with; this had been mentioned before. To be able to pass down the True Sealing Art would be even better!

From any perspective, it would bring a hundred benefits and no harm to the clan.

How could he refuse?

"In the current situation, the other party definitely won't give up easily," Luo Ruoxi secretly transmitted her voice. "It's better to agree first. Anyway, our identities are disguised, and they don't know. Later, we can just abandon this identity. After a while, they will naturally establish a new Clan Head..."

"Well... alright!"

Although unwilling, Zhang Xuan finally nodded.

What a situation. He had originally only wanted to make up for his debt to the Luo Clan, never dreaming he would become their Clan Head.

Now this is good...

He was now Zhang Clan Head, Luo Clan Head, Hall Master of the Saint Son Hall, and highly likely to become the Master Teacher Pavilion Head...

Almost all of the continent's top-tier forces were practically under his rule.

Oh right, among the three great clans, there was also the Jiang Clan. Should he go and wander around there too?

See if he could somehow become a Clan Head that nobody else wanted?

"Luo Clan members, greetings to the Clan Head!"

Seeing him agree, the rest was simple.

All the clan members happened to be present, and with everything prepared for the Zhang Clan's wedding procession, the enthronement ceremony for the new Clan Head was quickly completed.

While Zhang Xuan was busy being inaugurated as the Luo Clan Head, Nangong Yuanfeng and others who had left the Luo Clan were filled with frustration as they traveled.

"Teacher," a young man couldn't help but ask, "we failed to complete this mission. What should we do?"

"What else can we do?" Nangong Yuanfeng shook his head, filled with disappointment. "Go back and accept the punishment! How about this: let's find a place to recuperate. Once our strength is restored, follow me to the Zhang Clan. Since such a genius appeared in the Luo Clan, I refuse to believe the Zhang Clan... has one too!"

"That's the only way..." The young man nodded. Before his words even fell, he suddenly felt the space beneath him condense, making it impossible to fly forward.

Their pupils constricted. Everyone quickly looked ahead and saw a stunning figure hovering not far away. In front of her, a round bead spun rapidly, emanating astonishing power.

"After making a scene at my Luo Clan..." the girl said, turning to look at them, her expression calm. "Is it not too rude to just leave like that?"
