Chapter 1666: Witch Soul Secrets (Part 1)

Anyway, she was a prodigy, a renowned genius famous throughout the entire continent. Most importantly, she was exceptionally beautiful, one in ten thousand.

“Elder Fang Yun said that, and you looked disgusted... What did you mean by that?”

“Exactly what it sounds like, don't dwell on it. You're too ugly; I don't like you!”

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered with the person who was about to explode. He looked at Elder Fang Yun again and said, “I already have someone I like, so a marriage alliance is out of the question. I cannot become a live-in son-in-law for the Jiang family. If, even so, you are still willing to make me your clan leader, I will not refuse, and I will find a way to lead the Jiang family towards greater prosperity, rather than letting it stray onto an evil path!”

The Spirit Enslavement Race had already appeared, and a great war was about to begin. He had already garnered the support of the Zhang and Luo families; it would be best if the Jiang family could also follow his command.

This would also allow him to better investigate what exactly happened with that fair-skinned young man.

After all, with the Heavenly Diviner's betrayal, the Jiang family's betrayal, and even someone from the Master Teacher Pavilion betraying them... he felt that things were definitely not that simple.

Perhaps, it could even be a misunderstanding, just like with Luo Qiqi before.

Hearing that he was unwilling to marry into the Jiang family, all the elders fell silent.

Allowing an outsider to become their clan leader... this was unprecedented.

“Absolutely not. We are a family, not a sect. Without blood ties, how can he command respect from everyone?”

“He has refined the Clan Leader's Token, controls the clan's great formation, and has read all the books within the clan. If he doesn't stay in the family, what secrets would the Jiang family have left?”

“His comprehension of the Soul True Understanding has created an inseparable connection with the Jiang family. Even if he doesn't agree to the marriage alliance now, he will surely agree if he stays longer. It's nothing... Even though Feifei is a bit ugly and has a bad temper, if they nurture it slowly, feelings can develop over time...”

“The people of the Hundred Schools of Thought have arrived on the continent, and according to the latest news, the underground caves are in an unusual riot. The Master Teacher Pavilion and the Combat Master Hall seem to be struggling to hold them back. Once chaos breaks out, the Jiang family, as one of the three great families, will undoubtedly bear the brunt! The clan... indeed needs a powerful expert who has comprehended the Soul True Understanding to guard it!”

“What's more, his understanding of cultivation is so profound that even a casual pointer from him would allow all of us to benefit greatly...”

The elders discussed spiritedly.

Some agreed, while others opposed.

“Since he's not from the Jiang family, who exactly is he?”

After half a day of discussion yielded no progress, Jiang Fangyun looked over.

The others also stopped their discussions, filled with curiosity.

Even Jiang Feifei no longer cared about being called ugly.

“To be frank, I am...”

Knowing there was no point in concealing it further, the disguise on Zhang Xuan's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his voice returned to normal. “Zhang Xuan!”

“Zhang Xuan? The young genius of the Zhang clan?”

“The Zhang clan leader?”

They looked at each other in dismay, all feeling as if their minds were about to explode.

The Zhang clan leader came to their Jiang family, not only reading all their books but also comprehending the Soul True Understanding... and refining the Clan Leader's Token...

They had initially thought that even if this person wasn't a clan member, he must be an old senior who had been within the clan for a long time; otherwise, he couldn't possibly know so much about the Jiang family. They never dreamed he was a young man of only twenty.

Most importantly... he had barely ever visited the Jiang family!

And as soon as he arrived, he comprehended the True Understanding...

“You... you...” Jiang Feifei's face turned pale, her eyes practically popping out.

Saying that he only knew how to show off, right to his face... did that count as offending him?

But it seemed he was even more excessive, calling me ugly!

She had originally thought of finding an opportunity to give him a good beating, but now, it seemed there would be no chance...

This guy was too strong...

In the Master Teacher Pavilion, over a dozen nine-star master teachers, and even the acting Hall Master, couldn't do anything to him. If she truly went over, she'd probably be slapped away with a single blow, leaving nothing but dust.

“You are Zhang Xuan... No wonder you could ignite the Zhang family's bloodline and utilize the Time True Understanding...”

When Jiang Fangyou learned the true identity of the person before him, he was as if struck by lightning, unable to believe it.

He had thought he was a powerful expert, never dreaming that he was a young man even younger than his daughter.

“No, wait, you didn't just use the Time True Understanding just now; you also used the Spatial Sealing True Understanding... Could it be that you've also comprehended Spatial Sealing?”

Recalling something, Jiang Fangyou's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but ask.

“That's right, I've also comprehended the Spatial Sealing True Understanding!”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The situation had been critical just now, and the Sealing True Understanding had already been used. It couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to, so he might as well admit it frankly.

“You comprehended the Sealing True Understanding, then... that Luo Tianya from the Luo family...”

Recalling that this person had impersonated him so flawlessly that even many elders and his own daughter couldn't recognize him, and combining that with Luo Tianya's sudden appearance... Jiang Fangyou's eyes were filled with horror.

“That's right, I impersonated Luo Tianya!” Zhang Xuan nodded again.

“This... no wonder!”

His body swayed as Jiang Fangyou finally understood, a wry smile spreading across his face.

He had been wondering how the Luo family had gotten so lucky, with a peerless genius appearing right after they had been humiliated. After all that, it turned out to be Zhang Xuan...

Jiang Feifei, standing to the side, was also completely stunned.

One person holding the positions of two clan leaders...

Was such a thing even possible?

Compared to him, everything else paled in comparison.

Time True Understanding, Spatial True Understanding, Soul True Understanding... all comprehended by one person...

When did True Understandings become so worthless that they could be achieved so easily?

For tens of thousands of years, among the three great families, almost no descendants had achieved this, apart from the ancestors. Compared to this guy, it felt as if all their descendants were no different from trash.

“Everyone!”

After the initial shock, Jiang Fangyou recovered and looked around. “I will only say one thing; the final decision rests with all of you!”

“Clan Leader, please speak!”

Jiang Fangyun and the others looked over.

“The Soul Seal in the treasury has disappeared... If my guess is correct, it must have been taken by Zhang Xuan and refined, right?” Jiang Fangyou said.

“I took it, but... I haven't refined it!” Zhang Xuan's face flushed.

He had ransacked their treasury, leaving nothing behind. To be questioned about it in public now was truly awkward.

It seemed that in a while, he could only return it to them.

“Took the Soul Seal?”

Hearing Jiang Fangyou's words, all the elders were shocked. Immediately after, Jiang Fangyun stepped forward and knelt directly on the ground, saying, “Junior of the Jiang family, Jiang Fangyun, greets the President!”

“Descendants of the Jiang family, we greet the President!”

All the other elders also knelt down in unison.

“President?”

Zhang Xuan was startled.

Didn't they just mention the Clan Leader? President? What in the world?

“Since Clan Leader Zhang has read our Jiang family's cultivation techniques,” Jiang Fangyou sent a telepathic message, seeing his confused expression, “he should know that our Jiang family's soul secret arts are inherited from... the Spirit Awakener Masters!”

“Mm!” Zhang Xuan nodded.

He had been confused about this point before.

Weren't the Spirit Awakener Masters already eradicated by the Master Teacher Pavilion? How could they still exist? And leave behind such a prominent legacy, standing openly on the continent?

“The Soul Seal is the seal of the former President of the Spirit Awakener Master Guild! Whoever can control this item is the President of the Spirit Awakener Master Guild, and our Jiang family is willing to pledge allegiance to him...”

Jiang Fangyou bowed with clasped fists.
