Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 147 Dao Xuan Zhenren's Anger

It was half a month later when I returned to Qingyun Sect.

In the past two weeks, thanks to the efforts of those with ulterior motives, this news, which was enough to shake all cultivators in the world, has spread throughout the entire Divine Continent.

After all, this was a major event concerning the two major righteous sects, and once the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the entire cultivation world.

Not long after, news of Liubo Mountain also spread.

The news that the Qingyun disciple who cultivated both the Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect techniques not only possessed extraordinary strength but also risked his life to save countless righteous cultivators once again shocked countless people.

It's simply outrageous that a disciple who has only been a disciple for five years could cultivate the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the Shangqing realm. This is no longer just a genius, but a prodigy, a monster.

Not to mention, that Qingyun disciple also cultivated the Great Brahma Prajna to a similarly profound level.

Furthermore, it is said that Zhang Xiaofan, a disciple of Qingyun, also cultivated an incredibly powerful sword technique that had never been heard of before.

As for the divine beast Kui Niu, needless to say, the last person in the entire land of China to subdue an ancient mythical beast was the Qingye Ancestor of the Qingyun Sect.

Judging from the current situation, this Qingyun disciple Zhang Xiaofan has already caught up with, and even surpassed, the achievements of Qingyun Sect's founder Qingye when he was young.

It can be said that this young disciple, who is said to be not even twenty years old, is already a legend.

Shortly afterward, another piece of news ignited everyone's curiosity even more.

Even the Venerable Master Puhong, who had been in seclusion for decades, was alarmed and was required to personally visit Qingyun Sect to handle this momentous event that had shaken the cultivation world of China.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of countless cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths. Many people even set off for Qingyun Mountain, wanting to see with their own eyes what the outcome of this matter would be.

Some of them simply wanted to watch the excitement, while others were cultivators who had been saved by Zhang Xiaofan at Liubo Mountain and came to see what was going on, even intending to plead for him.

Of course, there were also some with ulterior motives, and even quite a few members of the demonic sects mingled among them, heading to Qingyun Mountain together.

Moreover, this should be the first meeting between Dao Xuan Zhenren of Qingyun Sect and Pu Hong Shangren of Tianyin Temple, the two leaders of the righteous path, since they took office.

Qingyun Gate, Tongtian Peak, inside the Ancestral Master's Shrine.

Since returning to Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan Zhenren personally ordered Zhang Xiaofan to be placed under house arrest here, and forbade anyone from visiting him.

Even Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue, and others were unable to reach the ancestral hall, so Dao Xuan Zhenren specially appointed Xiao Yicai to guard it personally.

At this moment, inside the Ancestral Hall, Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at the resolute young man kneeling before the Ancestral Master's tablet with a complicated expression. He couldn't help but sigh heavily and said in a low voice.

"Actually, when I sent you down the mountain, I had a feeling that it might cause trouble."

Zhang Xiaofan knelt on the prayer mat, his eyes fixed firmly on the memorial tablets of the patriarchs before him, remaining silent throughout.

Beside him, Wan Jian held a broom in one hand, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with a regretful expression, and sighed silently.

"I originally thought that you would lose control due to the eruption of evil energy within you, but I never expected that my most valued disciple would actually learn the techniques of other sects."

Dao Xuan Zhenren said in a deep voice. Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan still had no intention of speaking, he was furious and immediately roared in anger.

"Zhang Xiaofan! Don't you have anything to say to your senior uncle, the sect leader? Huh?"

Heaven knows what Dao Xuan Zhenren's reaction was when he heard the news. Although Dao Xuan Zhenren had no intention of passing on his position to Zhang Xiaofan, he always regarded Zhang Xiaofan as the hope for the Qingyun Sect's resurgence.

But who knew that their own hope would actually learn the Great Brahma Prajna of Tianyin Temple? Wasn't this forcing Dao Xuan Zhenren to cut off his own arm?

Of course, such matters can be big or small. Dao Xuan Zhenren was wholeheartedly trying to protect Zhang Xiaofan, but as for Da Fan Ban Ruo, he had no interest in it and was not greedy for it.

Dao Xuan Zhenren's initial plan was to find Zhang Xiaofan to find out the whole story before making a decision. At worst, he would cripple Zhang Xiaofan's Great Brahma Prajna on the spot. Although it would have some impact, it would be better than death.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan lowered his eyes slightly, sighed softly, and said with a hint of apology.

"I have disappointed my senior master. I have indeed learned the Great Brahma Prajna, so I... have nothing to say!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren laughed in anger, his finger trembling as he pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, saying with a hint of frustration at his lack of ambition.

"Do you know that Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple will arrive at my Qingyun Temple in no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? And you still won't speak up. What can I do then? Huh?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren was really angry with Zhang Xiaofan. If it weren't for his years of self-cultivation and the fact that this was the ancestral hall where he couldn't offend the ancestor, Dao Xuan Zhenren would have even wanted to grab those plaques and smash them on Zhang Xiaofan's stubborn head.

Dao Xuan Zhenren's words were so clear, yet Zhang Xiaofan seemed completely oblivious, refusing to utter a single word.

Doesn't this stubborn mule know that if he doesn't say anything, even Dao Xuan Zhenren, the head of Qingyun Sect, can't speak up for him?

"What are you looking at? You're the one who corrupted them all."

Dao Xuan Zhenren suddenly noticed Wan Jianyi beside him and couldn't help but curse out loud, "Neither of these two people can give me any peace of mind."

Back then, Dao Xuan Zhenren went to great lengths to save Wan Jianyi, enduring years of infamy.

This Zhang Xiaofan is even more outrageous. You learned the Tianyin Temple's techniques, so why are you using them? Even if you use them, you should at least explain their origins.

You haven't uttered a single word in all this time, how can I speak up for you? How can I save you?

Dao Xuan Zhenren felt a wave of exhaustion, but after cursing Wan Jianyi a couple of times, he felt much better.

After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Dao Xuan Zhenren suddenly said something astonishing.

"Your Great Brahma Prajna was transmitted by the Venerable Master Puzhi, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't utter a single word. He simply knelt silently on the ancestral tablet, his body perfectly straight.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan had no reaction at all, Dao Xuan Zhenren couldn't help but sigh softly.

This kind of thing is actually quite easy to guess. After all, Zhang Xiaofan has never left the mountain since he joined the sect. The only person he could have come into contact with was the monk Puzhi, whom he had met before he entered the sect.

Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed helplessly, as Zhang Xiaofan showed no intention of stepping forward to identify the monk Puzhi.

"I hope your master also sees you as a disciple."
