Chapter 1622: Attack on the Saint Son Hall

This girlfriend of his had taken him to the Sealing Sage Platform, and after entering the folded space, she didn't care at all about Kong Shi's original manuscripts, even saying that if he wanted some, there were plenty.

Entering Qiuwu Palace was only to find items; she paid no attention to Qiuwu Ancient Sage's cultivation method...

Now she directly said that only Kong Shi had achieved the breakthrough method... Could it be that she really had a close relationship with Kong Shi?

Otherwise, how could she know so clearly?

"I..." Asked this, Luo Ruoxi fell silent, then a pleading expression appeared on her face: "Don't ask anymore, and don't guess. I won't tell you!"

"But..." Seeing that she absolutely wouldn't say, Zhang Xuan felt stifled but knew there was no way, so he sighed and settled for the next best: "Then let me ask you... Is your current name real?"

After saying this, he was tense and his breathing quickened.

Last time, Luo Qiqi hadn't revealed her real name, causing such a misunderstanding. This one must not make the same mistake.

Even if she wouldn't reveal her identity, if the name was real, he could find her anywhere in the world.

Luo Ruoxi initially didn't want to answer, but seeing his determined gaze, as if he wouldn't back down without an answer, she softened and helplessly shook her head: "No."

"No, then..."

Just as he had guessed, Zhang Xuan quickly looked at her.

He had suspected before that among the Hundred Schools of Thought, there was no Luo surname. Now it was confirmed!

"Please don't ask. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't. Once I do... not only me, but you too will encounter great trouble..." Luo Ruoxi's eyes were pleading.

"Alright."

This wasn't the first time the girl had said this. Although he didn't know what trouble it would bring, given her strength, if she was so cautious, it was probably not as simple as it seemed.

"Normally, breaking through to the Great Sage realm wouldn't attract Heavenly Fire. Since Kong Shi managed to do it, did he leave behind any special technique?"

No longer pressing the matter, Zhang Xuan asked.

Normal Heavenly Fire was only attracted at the second level of Great Sage, the Golden Body realm. Being tempered by Heavenly Fire, the golden body became flawless.

To attract it while breaking through to Great Sage must require a special method.

"I don't know the specific method, but I know where it is!"

Seeing that he stopped asking, Luo Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Where?"

If he could find the technique and attract Heavenly Fire to temper his body, not only would his strength increase, but it would also completely resolve the hidden danger of the innate fetal poison—killing two birds with one stone.

"The headquarters of the Master Teacher Hall!"

Luo Ruoxi said: "When Kong Shi broke through to Great Sage, he was already establishing the Master Teacher Hall. It was there, inspired by something, that he created this technique and successfully broke through!"

"If we go there, we'll definitely find it..."

"Hmm?"

Just as he was about to hear her finish, Zhang Xuan suddenly raised an eyebrow, flipped his wrist, and a communication jade token appeared in his palm.

"What happened?"

Seeing his reaction, knowing something must have happened, the girl stopped speaking and quickly looked over.

"The Saint Son Hall... is under attack!"

Looking down at the jade token, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.

The message on his communication jade token was from Zhan Shi of the Saint Son Hall.

"Saint Son Hall?" Luo Ruoxi frowned.

"Yes."

Nodding, Zhang Xuan spoke quickly: "Someone has broken into the inner courtyard of the Saint Son Hall... I have to go check it out."

With that, he stood up.

"I'll go with you!" Luo Ruoxi nodded.

"Alright!" Knowing his girlfriend's strength—unrivaled below Ancient Sage, and no weaker than himself when using Kong Shi's blood—Zhang Xuan didn't say much. He shook his body and flew out of the house on the sacred beast's back.

"Patriarch!"

Seeing him fly out, Luo Qianzhen and the others quickly flew over, looking puzzled.

"I have some urgent business to attend to!" Zhang Xuan said.

He couldn't reveal that he was the Saint Son Hall's hall master now; once he did, it would be admitting Zhang Xuan's identity.

"Then what about going to the Zhang family..." Seeing him about to leave, Luo Qianzhen was anxious.

"After I handle this matter, I'll go directly to the Zhang family. Don't worry."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

The one who broke into the Saint Son Hall was likely the same group that had captured Zhao Ya. Last time they escaped, but this time, he wouldn't allow that to happen.

"This..."

Luo Qianzhen frowned.

"Alright, this is not up for debate. I will definitely come to the Zhang family!"

Too lazy to explain, Zhang Xuan casually waved his hand, took a deep breath, and a long spear appeared in his palm. He thrust it forward.

Rip!

The space before him immediately cracked open. He shook his body and slipped inside, with Luo Ruoxi following closely. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared before everyone.

"Tearing space to travel directly?"

Luo Qianzhen and the many elders all turned pale with fright.

Previously, they had thought this patriarch was only at the peak of Saint Realm 9-dan, and no matter how strong, he couldn't be that strong. Now they understood that his various methods and strength were already beyond their comprehension.

"Patriarch, what happened that's so urgent?"

Luo Qingchen looked over.

"I don't know either, but let's follow the patriarch's instructions and continue to the Zhang family! This time... we won't stop until that Zhang Xuan begs for mercy and apologizes!"

Luo Qianzhen's eyes flashed.

"Yes!"

The many elders were elated and full of fighting spirit.

Although they had been to the Zhang family before, they had never felt as exhilarated and motivated as today.

The Luo family's spring had finally arrived!

...

Whoosh!

Space closed, and Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi simultaneously appeared outside the Saint Son Hall.

True energy surged within him. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan changed back to his original appearance. Turning around, he saw that Luo Ruoxi had also removed her disguise. Then, one after the other, they flew straight toward the Saint Son Hall.

"What happened?"

Just as they arrived above, before they could land, they saw devastation everywhere. Countless buildings were destroyed, and the entire Saint Son Hall looked as if it had endured a fierce battle.

"It's the aura of the Heterodox race..."

Activating the Eye of Insight, he looked at the traces. On the ground, the killing aura of the Heterodox race floated everywhere, along with the remnants of battles left by master teachers. Clearly, the Heterodox race had attacked here.

"Hall Master, you're here..."

As he was looking around, Zhan Shi, Ge Shi, and others flew up.

"What exactly happened?"

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, just now, Heterodox race members rushed into the inner courtyard..." Zhan Shi quickly clasped his fists, seeming somewhat puzzled: "But they only stole the statue of Kui Sage, took nothing else, and didn't massacre the Saint Son Hall... They just destroyed buildings, caused chaos, and then... escaped!"

"Stole the statue of Kui Sage? Heterodox race?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned, then his pupils contracted, and his fists clenched involuntarily: "Could it be for... the skeleton of the Cruel One?"
