C586 – Could It be the Ancestor?
“Squeak, squeak…”
“Meow, meow, meow…”
Loong Linshuang and the tiny kitten perched upon Zhang Xuan’s shoulder, affectionately showering him with their gentle licks. Zhang Xuan, initially somewhat vexed, found himself unable to resist their adorable gestures.
These two youngsters certainly possessed keen discernment.
“Hehehe!” Even Nannan was aware that she had landed herself in a predicament. She cautiously approached Zhang Xuan, enfolding his arm in a tight embrace.
“Dad, I’ve missed you so much. I’ve been searching tirelessly for you, and it was incredibly challenging!”
As she concluded her sentence, a lone teardrop escaped from her eye.
“Alright, no need to feign innocence. Have you been having a good time during this period?” Zhang Xuan bent down to scoop up his daughter, eagerly inhaling the delightful scent she carried.
It had been a considerable while since he had last seen this charming little girl, and Zhang Xuan was promptly won over by her endearing and adorable nature.
“Happy!”
When the little girl saw Zhang Xuan wasn’t really angry, she smiled happily.
“Go back!”
The group of people headed towards the village in a grandiose manner.
“Ding… Congratulations to user for triggering and completing the hidden quest, Great Dao + 1000 meters.”
In his mind, an electronic voice suddenly rang out, causing Zhang Xuan to be stunned for a while.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan’s Great Dao Space began to tremble.
“Dog, Old Jiang, protect me!”
“Woof!”
“Yes, sir!”
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to utter his words, he promptly assumed a seated position, crossing his legs, and in an instant, his essence vanished.
On either side, the dog and Taoist Immortal Jiang stood guard with anxiety etched on their faces.
Fortunately, Zhang Xuan’s corporeal form remained intact, exhibiting regular signs of breathing and a steady heartbeat, offering them a sigh of relief.
In that tense moment, a sword sliced through the air with a swift whistle, causing apprehension to sweep through everyone present. However, the dog confronted the oncoming blade.
Only when the sword’s gleam came to a halt did the assembled individuals realize that Zhang Changsheng had arrived on the scene.
“Zhang Xuan, this is…”
Zhang Changsheng gazed at Zhang Xuan with a perplexed expression. In this moment, Zhang Xuan appeared remarkably peculiar, as if he existed in a state between life and death. Astonishingly, this enigmatic spectacle unfolded within the same individual.
“Grandfather Zhang, your arrival is most opportune. My father is immersed in his cultivation and requires safeguarding!”
Nannan chimed in sweetly and promptly.
The arrival of Zhang Changsheng brought relief to the anxious hearts of everyone present.
Dog remained wordless, feeling frustrated. His power clearly exceeded Zhang Changsheng’s, so why did these people place such unwavering trust in Zhang Changsheng?
Were it not for the likelihood that his master hailed from the Zhang family, he might have been tempted to give Zhang Changsheng a resounding lesson. He aspired to make it known to the world that his strength ranked second only to his master in this realm.
Zhang Changsheng cast a contemplative glance at Zhang Xuan, who was deep in meditation. A complex mixture of emotions welled up within him.
This young man before him had borne a burden that should never have been his to carry all these years.
He had chosen to dwell in such humble surroundings for the sake of safeguarding the Human Clan. For the greater good of humanity, Zhang Xuan had sacrificed too much.
“Next time, let me do it!”
Zhang Changsheng silently made a promise to Zhang Xuan in his heart.
He followed the trail left behind by the man in black to this place. He didn’t expect to witness such a big scene. He even saw the legendary thirty Third Layer.
Although he didn’t understand how Zhang Xuan did it, he could tell that Zhang Xuan wasn’t that old.
It wasn’t like what the people in the outside world had guessed. Zhang Xuan was the reincarnation of some great figure.
Everything could be faked, but the bone age and soul couldn’t be faked.
A twenty something year old child had already reached this level of cultivation. This made him feel somewhat ashamed.
Regardless of whether Zhang Xuan was the lost child of Zhang family, Zhang Changsheng felt that he should do something for this child.
“Buzz!”
A Void Tunnel appeared, and two people appeared on the Divine Ship.
One was Sloppy Old Man, and the other was Zhang Tiangang.
“Old Ancestor!”
Just as everyone was getting nervous, Zhang Changsheng respectfully knelt down on one knee and called out to the two old men.
“Wah!” The little fellows opened their mouths wide.
Everyone was shocked. Zhang Changsheng was once the number one swordsman in Chaotic Battlefield. They didn’t expect him to have another powerful warrior behind him.
Especially Taoist Immortal Jiang. He never thought that there would be an old man behind the Zhang family.
He also sensed the Qi of these two men. They were at least Heavenly Kings.
“Get up!”
Zhang Tiangang waved his hand casually. He stared at Zhang Xuan. The more he looked at Zhang Xuan, the more he liked him.
What this young man did was out of his expectation.
“Old Zhang, take this opportunity to see if Zhang Xuan is really a bastard of your Zhang family.” Sloppy Old Man looked at Zhang Xuan and suddenly said.
Zhang Tiangang was stunned for a moment, then he nodded his head.
Zhang Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then he exchanged a glance with Zhang Changxin, who had rushed over, and saw the anticipation in each other’s eyes.
The two of them had wanted to verify this a long time ago, but Zhang Xuan’s strength was too powerful, and they weren’t strong enough to verify this point. Now that the old ancestor had arrived, he should have a way to solve this problem.
Zhang Tiangang nodded and stretched out his hand. A drop of blood essence was suspended in the Void.
“Rumble!”
The blood essence surged with an overwhelming vitality, exuding a potent Taoist aura.
Reacting swiftly, Sloppy Old Man hastily quelled the surging energy, fearing its adverse impact on Zhang Xuan’s cultivation.
Onlookers held their breath as Zhang Tiangang pointed his finger towards the sword. A brilliant streak of swordlight streaked through the air, but the ensuing moment left him utterly bewildered—Zhang Xuan’s body suddenly unleashed a ferocious counterforce.
Zhang Tiangang experienced an inexorable pressure as though a colossal force had struck him in the chest. In the face of this overwhelming power, he seemed as insignificant as an ant facing a colossal dragon.
“Bang!”
Helpless against the overpowering force, Zhang Tiangang was sent hurtling backward. His face flushed crimson, and he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from severe injuries.
“Old Ancestor!”
Zhang Changsheng and his brother rushed to assist the injured Zhang Tiangang, their expressions fraught with concern.
Sloppy Old Man’s jaw nearly touched the ground in astonishment.
“Is it truly this formidable?”
The old man was so astounded that he couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
“Fuck, why don’t you try it?”
With an intense stare, Zhang Tiangang directed his attention towards Sloppy Old Man and cast a grave gaze upon Zhang Xuan.
In a sudden turn of events, a wave of astonishment washed over everyone, leaving them unsure of their next course of action.
“Esteemed Ancestor, it is my belief that this young Zhang is the true scion of the Zhang family, as I can discern an unmistakable resonance in our shared bloodline,” remarked Zhang Changxin with a furrowed brow.
Zhang Changxin’s countenance displayed a frown as he uttered these words.
Never could he have anticipated that a single journey would transform Zhang Xuan into such a formidable figure, capable of surpassing even the venerable old ancestor’s might.
Zhang Tiangang acknowledged with a nod, indicating that he shared a similar sentiment. However, there were unverified possibilities to consider, leaving room for uncertainty.
“Old Zhang, let’s not overlook the strong likelihood that Zhang Xuan and Senior Zhang Hao might have a significant connection…”
The abrupt words of Sloppy Old Man caught Zhang Tiangang off guard, leading to an awkward expression on his face.
If Zhang Xuan were indeed the offspring of the esteemed ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Hao, wouldn’t it be necessary for him to show reverence when encountering Zhang Xuan?
Zhang Changsheng and Zhang Changxin, who were hearing this revelation for the first time, found themselves utterly bewildered.
What implications did this hold?
Could it be that Zhang Xuan was not merely their great-grandson, but rather a descendant of their very ancestral line?
