Chapter 1466: The Next One

"Zhang Xuan?" The beautiful woman was also stunned, her body stiffening. "The Zhang Xuan that Hu Yiwei mentioned...?"

"Jian Qinsheng came from the Saint Son Hall, so the person he brought must be that one. And we missed him directly..." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

Ignoring the attitudes of the clan elders, they had gone straight to the Saint Son Hall to find this Zhang Xuan, wanting to see if he was the one they had been searching for twenty years... Little did they expect that he had already arrived at their clan!

If they hadn't left earlier, they might have met him by now!

The worst part was... they had even seen him on the road, but fate played tricks, and they missed him perfectly.

Had they known earlier, they would have greeted him when they saw Jian Qinsheng's sacred beast.

"Since he's in the Zhang Clan, let's hurry back. It's not too late yet!"

The beautiful woman quickly spoke.

Fortunately, they found out in advance; otherwise, if they went to the Saint Son Hall and found no one, they wouldn't even have time to cry.

Whoosh!

Hearing the words, the sacred beast beneath them quickly turned around and flew straight back.

"Quickly ask, what kind of person is this Zhang Xuan? What does he look like? What is his temperament?" Seeing the sacred beast flying swiftly, the beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the middle-aged man, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

Knowing what his wife was worried about, the middle-aged man held her hand. "Don't worry. Since Hu Yiwei confirmed it, and he's in the ancient land, there should be no mistake..."

The beautiful woman's body trembled. "I'm still worried..."

"We've been searching for so many years and failed so many times... Even if he isn't, he must be closely related to our child!"

The middle-aged man nodded. "Otherwise, without inheriting my talent, how could he be so outstanding, possessing abilities that even Hu Yiwei finds astonishing at such a young age?"

"Pfft!"

Hearing his words, the beautiful woman, who had been looking worried, burst into laughter and patted his chest. "Stop being so narcissistic..."

Whoosh!

The communication jade token flickered again, and a message came through. The middle-aged man lightly tapped it with his finger, and the two on the beast's back saw a video slowly playing.

A young man charged alone into the clan's protective formation, then the dragon spirit submitted, the tiger spirit collapsed, and countless buildings turned to dust.

The young man slowly turned around, revealing a proud expression.

"It must be him..."

Seeing his face clearly, the beautiful woman's body shook, and she quickly covered her mouth, seemingly unable to control her emotions.

"His appearance doesn't seem to resemble you or me..."

The middle-aged man frowned.

"His appearance may not resemble ours, but his eyes are exactly the same as when he was a child. I would never be mistaken!" The beautiful woman clenched her fists.

Over the past twenty years, she had seen him in her dreams a thousand times. Although she never knew what he looked like grown up, she was certain that this was her son, no mistake!

Even if his appearance had changed greatly with age, the impact on her heart the first time she saw him would never change!

That was a kind of kinship, a bond thicker than water.

"But... the Third Elder said they specially tested him in the blood pool. Not only is his bloodline unrelated to the Zhang Clan, but his soul also has no connection. It has been confirmed that he has... nothing to do with them!"

The middle-aged man was relatively more rational and continued.

"Blood pool?" The beautiful woman sneered. "How dare they mention the blood pool? Don't you know what happened back then? How did they treat my poor child? Even if he survived, he wouldn't have a drop of Zhang bloodline and would have nothing to do with your Zhang Clan, but... he has my bloodline in him. I can sense it. He is my son, no mistake!"

"Since you're sure, then there should be no mistake. However... this Zhang Xuan doesn't seem to be trouble-free. He hasn't been in the Zhang Clan for a day, and he's already caused countless buildings to collapse and chaos everywhere!"

Seeing his wife's confirmation, the middle-aged man said no more and glanced down again, shaking his head. "The Grand Elder has decided to let Zhang Xu and the others teach him a lesson and make him understand the power of the Zhang Clan!"

"The power of the Zhang Clan? Zhang Wuhen has quite the nerve! If he dares to harm a single hair on my son, I will tear down your Zhang Clan until not even the ancestral temple remains, or my name isn't Wang Mengya!" The beautiful woman no longer looked sorrowful; her eyes narrowed, and a powerful aura erupted from her body.

The sacred beast flying beneath them, feeling this force, shrank its neck in fear and dropped several hundred meters from the air, nearly falling.

"Let's go. Only by seeing him in person will we know whether this Zhang Xuan is the one or not. There's no point in agonizing over it now."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, said no more, and ordered the remaining sacred beast to speed up and fly back to the Zhang Clan.

...

"The clan head has agreed. As long as you can defeat us, he will fight you."

Zhang Xu and the others walked in again.

"Good, I agree."

With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan stood up, walked to the center of the room in two steps, and beckoned with his hand. "Who's first?"

"I'll go!"

With a loud shout, Zhang Qin leaped out. His hand shook, and his sword turned into a straight line, stabbing straight into the air, leaving a pristine white trail.

"Sword qi piercing the air..."

Even without a fight, Jian Qinsheng knew that none of his disciples could match this.

"I'll suppress my cultivation to the same level now..."

Seeming to know that his opponent was not easy to deal with, Zhang Qin took a deep breath, and the power within him slowly receded, soon suppressing it to the peak of the Domain Realm, the same as Zhang Xuan.

"Draw your sword!"

After suppressing his cultivation, Zhang Qin pointed his sword at him.

"To deal with you, I don't need a sword. Two fingers are enough."

Smiling faintly, Zhang Xuan raised his index and middle fingers together, and a stream of true qi shot out from between them, flowing back and forth, exactly three feet long, like a sword.

"You're asking for death!"

Seeing him so arrogant, Zhang Qin said nothing more, raised his eyebrows, and his sword flickered as he stabbed straight forward.

Zzzt!

Time seemed to freeze for an instant. The sword light and his figure both vanished, undetectable by either the naked eye or divine sense.

"Master Zhang, be careful..."

Seeing this, knowing that his opponent had unleashed his strongest 'speed' true interpretation from the start, Jian Qinsheng couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Many of his former students had lost to this move. Even those who had comprehended defensive true interpretations couldn't react in time and were defeated!

This time, the guy had used his ultimate move from the start. Would Master Zhang be caught off guard and directly injured...

If that happened, it would be trouble!

Bang!

Just as he was filled with anxiety, he heard a dull thud, and then saw the vanished Zhang Qin flying backward, his head stuck into a nearby wall. Not far away, Zhang Xuan seemed not to have moved at all, the true qi at his fingertips still flickering, his face expressionless.

"Even easier than expected. Next!"
