Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 352 - 298

Chapter 352: 298

Among those present was Zhang Xuanzhong, who had advocated for Xue Yunrou to inherit the Immortal Treasure.

After Xuanxiang walked over, he handed a total of twenty-five scrolls to Li Xuan, "Gladly, I’ve completed my mission! There are a total of twenty-five scrolls, including the blood signatures of 5,700 disciples of Zhengyi Sect from various Taoist temples inside and outside of Longhu Mountain.

Li Xuan’s expression was solemn, he reached out to take the scrolls from Xuanxiang.

This was the important tool he would use to borrow the power of these Zhengyi disciples, the teachings of these Taoist disciples were ultimately far from the essence of Confucianism. Under normal circumstances, he couldn’t control them with the ’Wenshan Seal’.

It is therefore necessary to use some tools and secret techniques to establish a mutual connection among thousands of disciples.

But then, Li Xuan noticed that there seemed to be a suction force in Xuanxiang’s hand that was unwilling to let go of the scrolls easily.

"Earl Jingan!" Xuanxiang stared at Li Xuan, his eyes burning, "To collect these blood signatures, seven of our fellow disciples died on the road due to the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles. We couldn’t bring back three of the scrolls. That’s because we lost contact with the disciples who were supposed to deliver them."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan looked solemn, "I will surely do my best, and will not let you down."

Finally, Xuanxiang deeply bowed and released the suction force from his hand.

After Xuanxiang retired, Zhang Xuanzhong, with a smile, touched the sword at his waist, "The issue we are facing today actually originates from an issue buried in the past. When the thirteenth generation Heavenly Master Zhang Wuxiang, on the orders of the Great Ancestor, took the position of Heavenly Master from Zhang Guanlan, he promised to return the position to his eldest son after fifty years.

However, only twenty-two years after, Zhang Guanlan’s descendants were involved in the Void Seal case. They were ordered by the Great Ancestor to be executed, their skins peeled and bodies hanged. This incident was caused by Zhang Guanlan’s descendants colluding with others for embezzlement, stealing the treasures of the Court that were meant for the renovation of the Shangqing Palace. However, Zhang Guanlan believed this to be a scheme set up by Zhang Wuxiang, this caused dissatisfaction within the Zhang family. That’s why the three generations of Heavenly Masters promoted people from outside the family since there were no capable people within the family."

Zhang Xuanzhong’s voice deepened and his playful smile faded, "But no matter what, the three hundred years after the foundation of the Jin Dynasty was the most prosperous time for the Tianshi Mansion. During the recent three hundred years, Longhu Mountain has nurtured nine heavenly level disciples. Including the disciples from nearby Taoist temples and sects, the total comes up to twelve. Today, in the Capital City, Tianshi Mansion’s Tain Masters who are serving the royal family and managing the library are all from outside the family and have reached the heavenly level. I, Zhang Xuanzhong, really don’t want to see this thriving trend fail at the hands of those short-sighted people in the family."

He also very seriously bowed to Li Xuan, "I sincerely ask you to please protect Miss Xue. I will also do my best to prevent these petty people from entering the mansion."

After this person also turned and left, Ao Shuying put away the sarcasm in her eyes. "I’ve underestimated them. There are indeed still capable people within Tianshi Mansion. Twelve heavenly level members in three hundred years? That is indeed the most prosperous time for Longhu Mountain. As far as I know, Longhu Mountain only had this many heavenly level members in the thousand years before I was sealed."

Li Xuan, retaining his calm expression, stowed all the blood-signed scrolls into his sleeves.

Feeling the blood signatures in the scrolls one by one, he thought to himself that he should take back what he had said earlier. This Heavenly Master was indeed quite popular among the ordinary disciples.

It was then that Ao Shuying raised an eyebrow, "Here they come!"

As she spoke, her figure was already soaring into the sky.

※※※※

Ao Shuying had just risen halfway into the sky when she was hit by several Jiao-dragon-like red thunders simultaneously.

This mighty current of electricity thundered down from the clouds, almost engulfing Ao Shuying’s petite figure.

In response, she threw a punch that shook the entire sky. Where her fist pointed, everything turned into nothing, everything was shattered. This also revealed the whereabouts of the former Heavenly Master Qianyuan hiding in the clouds.

"Zhang Guanlan!"

As Ao Shuying rose into the clouds, a golden dragon shadow appeared around her body.

"Do you want to compete with me in controlling wind and thunder?"

In an instant, she brought the majority of the clouds in the sky under her control. At the same time, she controlled the huge electric current hiding within the clouds.

The next moment, a red electric plasma several feet thick burst towards Zhang Guanlan.

Countless Zhang Guanlans were illusionized in the void in an instant.

The red plasma only tore one of Zhang Guanlan’s illusions into pieces.

However, at the moment the plasma burst out, Ao Shuying hit the void with another fist. With another huge bang, all the figures illusionized by Zhang Guanlan turned into smoke and dust.

"Huntian Hammer!"

Zhang Guanlan reappeared 2,700 feet in front of Ao Shuying, using a large bronze mirror to block and dissolve the shock force coming from the front.

At the same time, he sighed, "In this world, those capable of practicing this domineering fist technique without worrying about backlash are none other than you dragon clan whose flesh are naturally powerful."

At this moment, Ao Shuying was once again engulfed by the five-directed thunder force he had lured.
