Chapter 1508 Sun Qiang Collapses
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1508章 孙强崩溃
Although not a master teacher, having spent a long time with Zhang Xuan and being influenced by what he saw and heard, he knew many of the rules of master teachers.
Their master, Yang Xuan, was a top-tier expert renowned throughout the entire continent. His appearance, strength, and martial techniques were top-secret and could not be leaked, because once the alien race learned of them, they would inevitably devise targeted measures that would be hard to guard against!
This old man who had appeared from nowhere actually dared to question him—truly an ox unaware of its crooked horns, a horse ignorant of its long face!
"Worthy?"
Yang Xuan chuckled.
If he himself was not worthy to know his own appearance, that would be truly laughable.
"What are you laughing at? You know I'm Master Yang's steward, yet you still don't let me go? Otherwise, when the master holds you accountable, you'll have more than you can handle..."
Sun Qiang continued.
"Accountability? I'm afraid that's impossible!" Yang Xuan shook his head, looking over helplessly: "To tell you the truth, old man, I am Yang Xuan!"
"Yang Xuan? How dare you pretend to be the master in front of me—you've got some nerve..."
Sun Qiang was taken aback, then realized the other's meaning and nearly exploded.
He had been with the master for so long, knowing his appearance and mannerisms clearly—how could this old man who popped up from nowhere claim to be his master?
Whoosh!
Just as his roar ended, a token floated before him.
"This is my master teacher token representing my identity. Take a look!"
Yang Xuan said calmly.
The other had been insisting he was his steward and was unwavering. He was not angry, because he could tell the man was not pretending or lying—in other words, it was highly likely that this fellow had also been deceived.
If so, could it be that someone had impersonated him and taken that Zhang Xuan as a disciple, while in fact... both of them had been fooled?
He wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Ignoring his expression, Sun Qiang looked at the token before him. On it were carved two large characters, "Yang Xuan," clear and dazzling, piercing into the soul.
"I am Yang Xuan, Supreme Elder of the Master Teacher Pavilion. Your master has been using my name!"
"This..."
Sun Qiang was struck dumb, his body trembling involuntarily.
The reason he had been so confident earlier was that this was the Saint Son Hall, where everyone was a master teacher and followed the rules. Since he had done nothing wrong, even if the young master caused a ruckus, it wouldn't implicate him... Plus, with his identity as Master Yang's steward, staying here was actually the safest.
Never in his dreams had he imagined... that the person before him was the real Master Yang. Since he was the real one, then who was the guy he had encountered before?
His body had gone cold, and he felt he was beginning to doubt life itself.
Ever since being chosen by "Master" from Tianxuan Kingdom and following him step by step, the master's divine might had been etched into his mind, impossible to erase. Deep down, he had always believed that this invincible master teacher must be Yang Xuan...
Now suddenly another one appeared, saying that his master was a fake... His worldview instantly collapsed.
"Impossible... this is impossible..."
His face pale, Sun Qiang seemed about to fall from the air at any moment.
"Nothing is impossible! Master Yang holds a revered status. Even if he took a steward, it would be a peak expert like Hu Yiwei. What qualifications do you, a nobody, have?" Elder Ge sneered.
"But..."
Sun Qiang was devastated.
Seeing his expression, Dream Sword Saint knew he was crushed. Unable to hold back any longer, he quickly asked: "Your young master, Zhang Xuan... how old is he this year? Do you know his birthday?"
"Impossible, how could the master be fake?"
Shaking his head incessantly, Sun Qiang seemed not to have heard the question.
"Alright, no need to ask further. He has always believed himself to be Steward Yang's butler. His worldview has suddenly collapsed, and he can't bear it! Asking him now is a waste of time; he won't be able to explain clearly."
Seeing that Dream Sword Saint still wanted to inquire, Yang Shi sighed.
He had seen many such cases while wandering the continent—people who persistently believed themselves to be famous masters, self-hypnotized over time, automatically assuming the role of a master until it became hard to distinguish truth from falsehood. This person before him was clearly one of them.
His 'master' had从一开始 claimed to be Yang Xuan, so he naturally always thought so. Over time, it became difficult to break free. Suddenly confronted with the truth, he couldn't bear it.
"But..." Dream Sword Saint was full of anxiety.
"Don't worry. I understand your feelings, but to confirm whether this Zhang Xuan is him, we need to meet in person. No amount of hearsay will be of any use!"
Yang Shi said.
No matter how much information is relayed, it cannot truly confirm anything.
Rather than this, it's better to find him and see for himself.
"But... where did he go?"
Dream Sword Saint asked.
"I don't know either. However, if we search, we're sure to find clues..." Yang Shi said.
Nothing can appear or disappear out of thin air. This Zhang Xuan specifically sought out formation flags and teleported away; he must have a destination in mind. As long as we investigate thoroughly, we're bound to find traces.
"Hmm?"
Sighing, Yang Shi was about to ask Zhan Shi for details when suddenly his brows lifted. He flipped his wrist, and a communication jade slip appeared in his palm.
His communication jade slip was different from others', like crystal, completely transparent, with faint formations inside, seemingly possessing greater power.
The Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters' communication jade slip could transmit messages from anywhere on the continent!
However, the cost was too high; only the most顶尖 master teachers could possess one.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression change, the Grand Elder looked over.
"There's news about that Zhang Xuan..."
After reading the contents on the jade slip, Yang Shi exhaled, flipped his wrist, and put it back into his ring.
"Where is he?"
Dream Sword Saint quickly looked at him.
"The Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters just received news that he impersonated me, caused a ruckus at the Icefield Palace, and abducted their young palace lord..."
Yang Shi said.
"Impersonating Master Yang? Abducting the young palace lord?"
Everyone was stunned.
What exactly was this guy trying to do?
Didn't he know there was a Master Teacher Pavilion in this world that could suppress all directions?
Acting so recklessly, causing destruction wherever he went—was he tired of living?
"Indeed. It seems the teleportation array sent him to the Icefield Palace... I need to go and see. Who wants to come with me? I'm afraid the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters might act first, and by then, we won't be able to see him!" Yang Shi raised an eyebrow.
He was now even more curious.
This guy actually went to the Icefield Palace impersonating him... what was going on?
"Master Yang, could you possibly ask the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters to hold off for now? He... might just be young and impulsive!"
Hearing that the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters might take action, Dream Sword Saint was extremely anxious.
The Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters was the foremost power in the world; once they acted, even immortals would find it hard to survive.
"I can't do anything about that. Unless your Zhang family, the Saint Son Hall, and the Icefield Palace all agree to let bygones be bygones, the Master Teacher Pavilion must uphold order... As expected, the news should have already reached the headquarters. How to decide is up to the acting president. I'm a free spirit and can't interfere!"
Yang Shi shook his head.
