　　“Celestial Master Teacher?”

　　Ancient Sage Yan Qing and the others felt hoa.r.s.eness at the back of their throats as they widened their eyes in incredulity.

　　“Are you saying that young man is a Celestial Master Teacher… just like Kong s.h.i.+?”

　　It was no wonder that they were skeptical after hearing Yang s.h.i.+’s words. For tens of thousands of years after Kong s.h.i.+’s pa.s.sing, there had been no Celestial Master Teacher in the world. Yet, Yang s.h.i.+ was actually telling them that Zhang Xuan was a Celestial Master Teacher!

　　“That’s right!” Yang s.h.i.+ nodded. “He’s a master teacher who is acknowledged by even the heavens themselves!”

　　“But he…”

　　The lips of Ancient Sage Yan Qing and the others tremored nonstop. The shock that zapped their minds rendered them incapable of speech.

　　In terms of importance, it went without saying that a Celestial Master Teacher was far more important than the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn! It had not been easy for a new Celestial Master Teacher to appear among them, but they had actually cornered the other party to the point where he had to end his life.

　　If they had a choice, they would have rather died in his place!

　　“He single-handedly destroyed 110,000 Otherworldly Demons back in the Subterranean Gallery, and every single student that he has taught grew to be an incredible expert as well… I should have guessed it right from the start… Putong!” Ancient Sage Yan Qing fell weakly to the ground as he stared blankly ahead of him.

　　Had he known that the other party was a Celestial Master Teacher, he never would have forced the other party to offer an explanation to the Master Teacher Pavilion. However… there was nothing that he could say that would have changed anything anymore.

　　“It’s fortunate that he isn’t dead yet… but where did he go?” Ancient Sage Yan Qing asked doubtfully.

　　The Ancient Sages present were aware that Zhang Xuan had a.s.similated Zhang Hongtian’s bloodline, so it was unlikely that whatever had happened at the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters would have been able to kill him.

　　“I don’t know either…” Yang s.h.i.+ shook his head worriedly.

　　As soon as he heard that Zhang Xuan had committed suicide, he had rushed over in hopes of saving him. However, he had found that the other party’s corpse had vanished into thin air instead, and there was no trace of him around.

　　As such, the other party’s whereabouts had become a mystery.

　　“We have to dispatch our men to find him as soon as possible. Make sure not to reveal his ident.i.ty as the Celestial Master Teacher for the time being. Unless he becomes an Ancient Sage, he will be in grave danger once the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe learn of his true ident.i.ty!” Ancient Sage Yan Qing instructed.

　　Only an Ancient Sage would stand a chance against other Ancient Sages. To the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, the emergence of a Celestial Master Teacher was something that was much more horrifying than the notion of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn falling into the hands of mankind.

　　It was very likely that they might even send Ancient Sages to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhang Xuan so as to eliminate the problem before it got any worse.

　　“Un!” Yang s.h.i.+ nodded.

　　He knew the importance of maintaining confidentiality over this matter, or else he would not have kept it to himself for so long.

　　“As long as he becomes an Ancient Sage and reveals his ident.i.ty as the Celestial Master Teacher, whatever misunderstandings there are out there will swiftly unravel themselves,” one of the Ancient Sages remarked.
