Chapter 1515: Zhang Xuan's Disciples (Part 1)

This battle master was none other than Zhang Xuan's student, Zheng Yang!

At this moment, his strength was vigorous, his aura steady, having reached an unknown realm. His countenance was resolute, and his bearing carried the dignity of a regional lord, no longer the reckless and naive youth of before.

"Senior Sister?"

All the elders of the War Master Hall raised their eyebrows in disbelief.

Calling her senior sister—didn't that mean he was also a student of that Zhang Xuan?

A student being the Young Palace Master, causing such a stir?

"That's right!" Zheng Yang did not explain but looked over: "Give me the notification from the Master Teacher Hall. Let me see what exactly is going on!"

"This..."

Unexpectedly, the Young Palace Master of the Icefield Palace was his senior sister, completely disrupting the prepared speech. Elder Cheng hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to hand over a jade token: "It's not a notification, but... a Master Teacher Arrest Warrant!"

"Arrest warrant? Arrest whom? Teacher?"

Raising his eyebrows, Zheng Yang quickly took the jade token and glanced down. His face instantly darkened like ice.

"Absurd, utterly absurd! Pass my order: closely monitor the movements of the Zhang Clan, Icefield Palace, Saint Son Hall, and Master Teacher Hall. Once any trace of Teacher is found, report immediately... Whoever dares to arrest my teacher, let me see who has the guts!"

"This..." Elder Cheng's mouth twitched in fear: "War Master, our War Master Hall is subordinate to the Master Teacher Hall..."

The order came from the Master Teacher Hall; going to rescue someone would be a blatant violation.

"Subordinate? When the general is in the field, he may refuse the king's command! First, rescue Teacher and bring him here; I will negotiate with the Master Teacher Hall myself!" Flicking his sleeve, Zheng Yang's long spear trembled, emitting a sharp ring as if it could pierce the void at any moment.

"War Master Hall guards humanity, shedding blood and sacrificing. It's time to let everyone know the edge we should have! I want the world to know that anyone who wants to touch my teacher... must first weigh their own worth!"

"Yes!"

All the elders cupped their fists simultaneously.

Some smiled bitterly, some were fervent.

But once the War Master's order was issued, no one dared to refuse.

...

Poison Hall.

"Daring to arrest my teacher, the Master Teacher Hall is quite bold! It seems they didn't appreciate the face I gave them last time!"

In the middle of the hall, a woman suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with icy intent.

The woman was young and appeared somewhat frail, but faint cyan mist swirled around her. Even a nine-star master teacher entering it would be easily poisoned, with no chance of survival.

The Hall Master of Poison Hall, Wei Ruyan!

Having become Hall Master with the full support of countless poison masters, her poison body had been successfully activated. Her poison skills were earth-shattering, slightly inferior to the founder of old but far surpassing all the elders.

If she truly struck, even a nine-star master teacher could not withstand her.

"The Master Teacher Hall has always been self-righteous. Hall Master, what should we do? Just give the order!" Lin Jianghai, one of the Four Venerables of Poison Hall, cupped his fist.

Having contributed to her ascension, his status was now second only to the Hall Master. Most importantly, having received personal guidance from the Hall Master, his poison skills were superb; even if the former Right Envoy were resurrected, he would be no match and would be easily poisoned to death.

"Simple: follow me. Once Teacher's whereabouts are found, protect him covertly. If anyone dares to lay a hand on him, no need for words—poison them directly... Poison Hall has been in seclusion too long; it's time to make a move and let them know!"

Raising her delicate brows, Wei Ruyan snorted coldly.

Having experienced life and death, she had long grown indifferent to rules.

Teacher had done so much for her; without him, she wouldn't be who she was today... If anyone dared to lay a hand on Teacher, then sorry—if I don't poison your entire clan to extinction, my name isn't Wei Ruyan!

"We obey the Hall Master's command!"

All the elders cupped their fists excitedly.

Trapped in one domain, the Poison Hall members had long been itching for action. Since the opportunity presented itself, why hold back? They would set out immediately.

...

In a distant, pitch-black ruin on the Master Teacher Continent, no light could be seen, like a dark swamp.

A massive figure slowly rose from the ground, its power raging and surging like wind and clouds sweeping through, splitting heaven and earth.

"Why wake me up so urgently?"

The figure's voice sounded like thunder.

"Master... is being wanted by the Master Teacher Hall!"

Not far away, a巫魂 (wu soul) cupped its fist.

"Teacher is wanted? For what?"

The figure suddenly stood up, causing the ground to shake, as if the world grew even darker.

"This is the information I gathered..."

The wu soul flicked its finger, sending a jade token flying over.

Catching it casually, the massive figure looked down, and its eyebrows twitched.

"Absurd! Truly absurd! It seems the Master Teacher Hall is asking for trouble... Mo Hunsheng, accompany me to the Icefield Palace to find Teacher and see where he is!"

The figure gently shook and plunged straight into a 'corpse' lying flat on the ground.

Then the 'corpse' stood up, revealing a handsome, resolute face.

He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, none other than Lu Chong, Zhang Xuan's direct disciple when he first came to the Wu Soul Ancestral Land.

Now, Lu Chong's wu soul power was immensely strong; every move could cause heaven and earth to change color, as if even the sky could be torn apart.

"Yes!"

Nodding, Mo Hunsheng followed closely, striding swiftly toward the Icefield Palace.

...

Sage Yuan Clan.

"What did you say? Arrest my teacher? Very well, very well! This must be the idea of that Great Elder of the Zhang Clan..."

Yuan Tao stood before a group of elders, his eyes narrowed.

Harming him was one thing, arresting him was another, but daring to arrest or harm his teacher—that was unacceptable!

"Young Patriarch, the Patriarch's intention is not to get involved in this matter, after all, it's an order from the Master Teacher Hall..."

An elder stepped forward.

Bang!

Before he could finish, the elder was sent flying, disappearing from sight in an instant.

"Anyone else have something to say?" Yuan Tao clasped his hands behind his back, looking coldly around.

"Young Patriarch, before going into seclusion, the Patriarch instructed you not to cause trouble, ah..."

Another elder cried out in pain and was sent flying.

"Alright, does anyone else have anything to say?" Yuan Tao continued to look around.

"We obey the Young Patriarch's orders!"

Everyone cupped their fists simultaneously.

"That's more like it."

Yuan Tao nodded in satisfaction: "Since you know the clan's rules, you understand that I am the true Patriarch! Now I issue my order: everyone will immediately follow me to the Icefield Palace to find Teacher. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded.

"Although our Yuan Clan is not as powerful as the Zhang Clan and other great families, if we truly want to protect someone, I don't believe we can't!"

Eyes narrowed, Yuan Tao gave a cold shout: "Move out!"

Whoosh!

Countless flying sacred beasts rose into the air, speeding straight toward the Icefield Palace.
