Chapter 841: Ziyang Beast Breaks Through

Not only Lu Feng felt this way, but others also twitched their mouths.

Many deans, even if they admired this Zhang Xuan, had their limits and considered their own status.

For instance, Elder Mi wanted to take him as a disciple, Zhao Bingxu wanted to accept him on behalf of his master, and Wei Ranxue only sought advice... but this fellow directly sought to become a disciple!

Becoming a disciple means lowering one's seniority; we are all of the same generation, and if you acknowledge him as your master, wouldn't we all become juniors?

"Indeed!"

Dean Jiang snorted, his voice clear: "If what you want to say today is just this, then I will no longer accompany you!"

With that, he turned and walked toward the door.

If what this fellow said earlier was so serious only to insult his teacher and settle a personal score, then this meeting might as well not be held!

"You can't leave!"

His face darkening, Lu Feng shouted loudly.

After keeping it secret for so long, once this fellow leaves, it will inevitably leak out. What if it causes this Zhang Xuan to flee?

"Are you trying to make a move against me?" Raising his eyebrows, Jiang Qingqin turned around.

"Indeed, whoever dares to leave today, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

His eyes narrowing, Lu Feng, regardless of consequences, grabbed the air with his palm, once again executing the Great Wordless Hand. A huge palm print flew straight toward Dean Jiang.

With the super strength of a Half-Step Divine Consciousness Realm cultivator combined with a peak Spirit-level martial technique, the air in the room was compressed to the point of bursting.

"Others may fear you, but I do not!"

Seeing that he truly dared to attack, Jiang Qingqin spun around abruptly, turned his wrist, and a large zither appeared before him, hovering silently in the air. His ten fingers lightly touched, plucked, and turned.

Dingdong! Dingdong!

A wave of sound shot straight over.

Boom!

The sound wave collided with the handprint. Just as Lu Feng thought to crush the opponent, his face suddenly flushed red. He involuntarily stepped back several paces and spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Seven-star Demon Musician?"

His pupils contracted.

Although the other's cultivation was not as high as his, his understanding of demon music had reached the seventh realm. At this level, even a Saint Domain Second Layer expert might not be a match!

With one clash, his soul was severely injured!

"Indeed, with the teacher's guidance, I have broken through!" Jiang Qingqin was full of pride.

If not for Teacher Zhang, he would still be stuck at the sixth realm, unable to break through for life... How could he let go of someone who insults the teacher!

"Teacher Mu..."

Thinking that he had broken through and become the number one among the Ten Great Masters, only to be defeated in one move by Dean Jiang, Lu Feng was full of resentment. Finally, gritting his teeth, he looked at Teacher Mu not far away.

"Alright, Dean Jiang, please calm down. Since this Dong Xin has sworn by the identity of a master teacher, it means what she said is beyond doubt!"

Teacher Mu waved his hand: "I think it's better to let Zhang Xuan come and explain. The innocent are innocent, and the guilty are guilty. If it's really a misunderstanding, it can certainly be clarified. And... if he is truly an alien tribesman, then once he comes, he won't be able to leave!"

"This..."

Seeing Teacher Mu speak, Jiang Qingqin hesitated for a moment, then had to return to his seat: "Alright, I will follow Teacher Mu's arrangement. However, I hope to invite him over as a master teacher, not to capture or detain him, and I hope no one will do anything disrespectful to my teacher!"

"Good!" Teacher Mu nodded.

Although Dong Xin had sworn by her identity as a master teacher that what she saw was true, Zhang Xuan was still a master teacher. If they directly arrested him and later found it was a misunderstanding, they would have no explanation!

Moreover, if they tried to capture him and he was indeed an alien tribesman, he would certainly become alert in advance. If he escaped, it would be even harder to catch him.

"Then I have no objections!" Jiang Qingqin said no more.

"Hmm, Lu Feng, did you hear what was said just now? Now send someone to invite this Zhang Xuan over to confront Dong Xin. I hope he can explain clearly. If he cannot... I will take action myself, not just you!"

Teacher Mu looked over.

"Yes!"

Lu Feng nodded, pushed the door, and walked out. After a moment, he returned, apparently having dispatched capable subordinates.

...

While it was lively here, on the other side, Zhang Xuan descended riding the Tianxiong Beast.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ziyang Beast and Sun Qiang approaching.

"Master!"

At this moment, Ziyang Beast's whole body exuded an aura like a dragon, giving a feeling of surging power. It was many times stronger than before, especially its eyes, which shone like lightning, more intelligent and calmer.

"You broke through?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

The Saint Domain Second Layer, Divine Consciousness Realm, once broken through, might not have as exaggerated an increase in power as from Saint to Saint Domain, but combat effectiveness more than doubled.

Divine consciousness can see in all directions, even every subtle movement, which is absolutely incomparable to the naked eye.

Reaching this realm, one truly understands the essence of the Saint Domain, transcending the mundane and becoming a sage.

"Yes!" Ziyang Beast nodded.

It was not far from breaking through itself. After refining the inner core of the Hongyuan Beast of the same attribute, it broke through the shackles and finally reached the Saint Domain Second Layer today.

"Good!" Turning his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a large gourd and handed it over: "This is Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, which is very beneficial for consolidating cultivation!"

Earth Vein Spirit Liquid made so many holy beasts at Cloud Mist Ridge defend it to the death; its effect on holy beasts can be imagined.

"Thank you, Master!"

Pulling out the stopper and seeing the surging spiritual energy inside, Ziyang Beast trembled.

The value of the spirit liquid in this gourd definitely exceeded dozens of high-grade spirit stones.

Giving it casually showed that he was already deeply trusted.

"Hmm, have there been any events during the few days I was away?" After instructing Ziyang Beast, Zhang Xuan looked at Sun Qiang not far away.

"Nothing much, except..." Sun Qiang frowned: "Hu Yaoyao sent a message a few days ago saying that it seems our mansion is being watched..."

"Being watched?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

Hu Yaoyao was in charge of the Monster Pride Society, with countless strong subordinates. Since she said it was being watched, it was probably true.

"Have you found out who it is?"

"My strength is insufficient; I tried to investigate several times but was evaded each time..." Sun Qiang's face reddened.

His current strength hadn't even reached the Harmony Spirit Realm. In a second-class empire, it was not weak, but in the capital of this first-class empire, it was somewhat insignificant.

"Master, I know about this. It's the elders of the Master Teacher Academy!" Ziyang Beast interjected.

Having broken through to the Divine Consciousness Realm, it could see the surrounding situation clearly.

Sun Qiang couldn't detect them, but it could without being noticed.

"Elders of the Master Teacher Academy? Why are they watching me?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

Although he had caused several academies to be abolished, it shouldn't warrant the academy sending elders to watch him!

"When I broke through, my divine consciousness extended outward and I happened to overhear their conversation. I learned something... It seems that Lu Feng is summoning the Ten Great Elders to put you on trial. As for the specific reason, they didn't say, and I'm not clear!" Recalling, Ziyang Beast said.

When it broke through this morning, its divine consciousness extended outward and happened to 'see' the several elders watching the courtyard, and also heard their conversation.

"Trial?" Zhang Xuan blinked.

After he gave a lecture at the Alchemy Academy, Dean Lu Feng had summoned the Ten Great Elders to revoke his master teacher qualification, but it was not approved.

Dean Jiang had already told him about this. Could it be that this fellow was still dissatisfied and wanted to try again?

It didn't succeed the first time; trying again probably wouldn't have much effect!

"It seems they have grasped some important evidence that you can't refute..."

Ziyang Beast said: "According to what I heard, they not only want to summon the Ten Great Elders but also notify Hall Master Mo Gaoyuan, and even... use the saint artifact [Golden Source Cauldron]!"

The several watching elders didn't seem to know the details very well either. Even though it overheard the conversation, it was only fragments, making it hard to guess.

"Golden Source Cauldron?"

"It is the treasured artifact of the Master Teacher Academy, controlled by the dean. Even Saint Domain Second or Third Layer experts can be easily killed!"

Ziyang Beast shook its head: "However, ever since the master died, this town-guarding saint artifact has been asleep, and no one can command it... unless alien tribesmen invade!"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

If that were the case, it would be a super major event!

But... what did watching him have to do with alien tribesmen invading? Could it be that the news about the puppet and the Ruthless One had leaked?

If so, explaining it would be quite troublesome.

Not to mention subduing a formidable character like the Ruthless One, just having so many alien tribesman puppets would be hard to explain.

"Teacher..."

Just as he was frowning, wondering what Lu Feng was up to again, he saw Zheng Yang rushing over.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan looked over.

"Teacher, Vice Dean Zhou Qing and Vice Dean Qi from the Alchemy Academy have come to visit, saying they want to invite you to the academy to discuss a major matter."

Zheng Yang said.

"Invite?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled: "What is their attitude?"

"Their attitude is very good; they are waiting in the living room." Zheng Yang looked strange.

The Alchemy Academy and the teacher were almost at odds, yet they suddenly came to invite him, which filled him with doubt.

"Good attitude? But still watching? It seems they have indeed grasped some evidence and are afraid I might find out in advance and escape..."

With a flash of insight, Zhang Xuan quickly understood.

Just hearing that someone was watching, and then applying for something like the Golden Source Cauldron, a sure-kill weapon, and then coming to invite him with a very good attitude... If there was no problem, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Nothing good comes from an unexpected favor.

Moreover, he had dealt with Lu Feng before, and he was definitely not a kind or easy person.

"Ziyang, first enter the Thousand Ant Beehive. I'll let you out when needed." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Nodding, Ziyang Beast shook its body and drilled into the Thousand Ant Beehive.

The previous beehive was narrow, but now it was over ten meters in diameter, very spacious.

After arranging Ziyang, just as he was about to go see the two vice deans, Zhang Xuan paused, let Zheng Yang and Sun Qiang go ahead, and with a mental command, released his clone.

Then he took out a storage ring and handed it over.

The Ruthless One and the newly obtained Kong Shi's letter were inside. If any difficult-to-explain problem arose, he might have to let 'Teacher Yang' make an appearance.

The clone shared the same soul as him; as long as it didn't enter the storage ring, they could communicate freely at any time.
