Chapter 1602: They Really Are Alien Clan!

Where are Zhao Ya and the others?

With one move sending the two flying, Zhang Xuan continued forward, his long spear radiating a cold gleam, making him appear like a war god descending from the heavens.

Ding-dong!

Just as he was about to grab one of them for interrogation, a wave of sound suddenly struck, piercing his soul. Turning his head, he saw the gaunt youth who had used the ancient sage Yan Yan's treasure plucking at a zither, directing his attack at him.

Before Wu Chen, three golden soldiers had appeared, their fists rolling with astonishing power, causing the surrounding space to collapse from time to time, revealing the ferocity of the battle.

They really have a lot of treasures...

These golden soldiers were similar to those he had seen upon entering the hall—handwritten characters left by ancient sages, imbued with their essence and spirit.

With the three golden soldiers attacking simultaneously, even Wu Chen, despite his strength, found it hard to break free.

Golden soldiers inscribed with the character 'Master,' the ancient zither used by the sage Yan Yan... Are they really Alien Clan members?

A doubt arose in his mind.

Even the Master Teacher Pavilion couldn't produce so many fine treasures, yet these Alien Clan members casually wielded them, each more powerful than the last...

Could it be that they aren't Alien Clan, but rather the Hundred Schools of Thought?

No, if they were from the Hundred Schools, then who were Luo Ruoxin and Wu Chen?

The latter had personally told him he was not an Alien Clan member.

Flaw!

With doubt in his heart, he focused his mind and looked at the people before him.

Hum!

The Library of Heaven's Path shook, but no book materialized.

What's going on? Are they all of the Derivative Constitution? That can't be, there can't be so many!

His pupils constricted.

He could accept not being able to see through Luo Ruoxin or Wu Chen, but why couldn't he see through this entire group?

They were currently using martial techniques; under normal circumstances, he should be able to detect them easily!

I understand. Although they don't have the Derivative Constitution, they must possess treasures that can obscure the heavens. Otherwise, they couldn't have captured Zhao Ya and the others without the Master Teacher Pavilion knowing in advance!

A thought struck him, and he suddenly understood.

Under normal circumstances, the Master Teacher Pavilion had the most skilled heaven's secret diviners. If Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, Yuan Tao, and the others were captured, they would have sensed the danger in advance. But there was no warning at all... This meant these people must have means to obscure the heavens.

It was like the special tortoise shell of the Heaven's Secret Hall back then; under its cover, even the Heavenly Dao couldn't detect anything.

It seems I must visit the Heaven's Secret Diviner Guild after I get out...

His eyes narrowed.

There were actually items in the world that could obscure the Heavenly Dao, preventing even him from seeing through them—this frustrated him greatly.

If all else fails, he could study at the Heaven's Secret Diviner Guild; perhaps he could prevent such situations in advance. Even if the other party's defenses were tight, he would surely find some clues.

Even if I can't see through them, it doesn't matter. I can test them to find out!

His brows rose, and a murderous aura emerged.

Not being able to see through them with the Library didn't mean he had no other means.

Even if Alien Clan members could disguise themselves as humans, they couldn't change the power within them. Habits cultivated over the years would automatically emerge in life-or-death situations.

Unless their strength was so high that they could handle any attack with ease... But such people didn't exist for him. As long as he went all out, he didn't believe anyone below the ancient sage level could hide!

All three of you, come at me together!

With this thought, a surge of pride welled up in his heart. Laughing heartily, he shook his long spear and thrust it forward.

Hum!

The sound wave attacking him was immediately blocked by the spear tip. He stepped forward and swept the spear horizontally.

Swish!

Space cracked, and the attack hurtled toward the dark-skinned youth.

Hmph!

With a flick of his wrist, the dark-skinned youth produced a writing brush and met the attack head-on.

Ding, ding, ding, ding!

The brush clashed with the Dragon Bone Divine Spear. Although the youth was forced back seven or eight steps, the brush remained undamaged.

Could this also be a treasure left by an ancient sage?

Zhang Xuan was astonished, but he knew this was not the time to dwell on it. He thrust the spear again, this time at the tall youth.

Zzzz!

A tremendous force swept up like a hurricane. The latter's face changed, and he hastily retreated.

Ding-dong!

Just as the spear tip was about to strike him, the gaunt youth's zither sounded again.

This time, Zhang Xuan did not resist. Instead, he focused his mind and absorbed the soul-targeting attack into his body.

Crack!

In an instant, the transformation that had not been completed under the pressure of the Dragon Bone Divine Spear underwent a qualitative change, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.

Zhang Xuan felt his soul instantly advance a step further. Although it did not break through to the Saint level, it became purer, and the volume of his soul body shrank by nearly half.

With this level of soul, he could now perform soul travel.

Haha, thank you very much...

Breaking through refreshed him. Zhang Xuan laughed heartily and stepped forward through the air.

Cold sweat broke out on the tall youth's forehead as he retreated rapidly, but Zhang Xuan's spear clung to him like a stubborn poison, impossible to shake off no matter how he changed his movements.

Block it!

The dark-skinned youth's face turned ashen. With a flick of his wrist, the brush flew out, splashing ink in the air. In the blink of an eye, it formed a shield that stood in front of them.

Rip!

The divine spear shook, tearing the shield apart.

However, its power was also diminished. The tall youth blocked the attack with his sword and escaped disaster.

It seems this guy doesn't have an ancient sage treasure...

Seeing that the other party was so hard-pressed and still hadn't produced an ancient sage treasure like the others, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

To be honest, although using Confucius's blood and the Dragon Bone Divine Spear gave him immense combat power, capturing the three alive to interrogate them about Zhao Ya and the others would still take considerable time.

But Confucius's blood had a time limit... He couldn't afford to waste it.

In that case, he would first incapacitate this fellow without an ancient sage treasure!

Then he would deal with the others!

Snorting inwardly, he shook his spear again and thrust it at the tall youth.

Zzzz!

This thrust was even more powerful than before. Before the spear tip even got close, countless explosions could be heard. Space tore like paper, leaving a crack and stirring up countless ripples.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

Unexpected that he would focus on just one, the gaunt youth anxiously plucked the zither strings, but although the sound was intense, it was blocked by the ripples.

Stirring up space!

Damn it!

The dark-skinned youth struck repeatedly, but with a flick of the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, the brush was sent flying.

If you won't tell me where Zhao Ya and the others were taken, then one of you will die first...

With a cold shout, the spear moved like a dragon.

The tall youth, his face pale, knew he could no longer hold out. He threw his head back.

Roar!

With a tremendous roar, his body suddenly expanded. The already tall figure grew to over two meters in an instant, and waves of dense killing aura surged forth, shooting into the sky.

They really are Alien Clan members...

His pupils constricted, and Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed.
