Chapter 171: Old Master is Back

Translator: Editor:

Huala!

Unable to accept the sight before them, a frenzied look appeared on their faces. Suddenly, an elder walked approached with big strides.

Seeing him, respect immediately appeared on everyone’s faces as they opened a path for him.

”Is this... The Ninth Heaven of Benevolence, Old Master Zhang?” Forcefully suppressing his shock, Zhang Liao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

”It is said that Old Master Zhang is already in his nineties. Thirty years ago, he had already reached Tongxuan realm pinnacle... Of course, he isn’t respected for his age or his prowess. Rather... He used to be a star teacher in Hongtian Academy and countless experts were personally groomed by him. In fact, nearly half of the experts here had been to his lessons... But why would he be here?”

Zhang Mo’s mouth was opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed into it.

This Old Master Zhang entered reclusion in his residence twenty years ago, having never left his residence since then. Moreover, even if Emperor Shen Zhui were to meet him, he would have to address him as ’teacher’... What is such a figure doing here?

Could it be that Du Qiao’s residence had been passed to him, and these experts are here to visit him?

Wait a minute...

The moment this thought arose in their minds, the duo immediately realized that their guess was wrong. That’s because... That Old Master Zhang also stood at the entrance of residence respectfully, not appearing to be proceeding further.

”Even Old Master Zhang is waiting outside the entrance?”

Zhang Liao and Zhang Mo exchanged glances and their lips started trembling.

Even though Old Master Zhang has already retired for many years, there isn’t anyone in Tianxuan Kingdom who would dare to show him disrespect. Even the emperor would step forward to welcome him personally into the palace. Yet, such a figure is currently waiting patiently outside locked gates...

”Brother, are we still going to... steal from the mansion?”

After a long moment of silence between the duo, Zhang Liao turned to look at his elder brother.

”Steal? Steal your head... Putting aside whether we would be able to get in, even if we are to get in, with so many experts guarding the door, I’m afraid that... we would be beaten to death before we even get to lay our hands on anything...”

Zhang Mo shuddered in fear. The thought of it sent him to the verge of tears.

The heck, how do I steal from such a residence?

Just the subordinates of these Tongxuan realm experts are enough to turn us into meat cakes...

What is wrong with this residence?

Why are there so many experts who have come to pay a visit?

”Regard of who it is... For him to have such incredible rallying abilities... Does the royal family not care about the matter at all?”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhang Liao’s mind and he couldn’t help but comment.

Zhang Mo was taken aback as well.

How can the sovereign of the country allow another individual to hold greater prestige than him?

Regardless of that fellow’s identity, his ability to rally so many experts at once poses a great threat to the royal family. Putting aside the fact that each figure who came is more incredible than the previous, the most shocking fact is that... they are all willing to wait patiently at the door for the master to invite them in on his own accord. For fear of interrupting the other party, they did not even dare to knock on the door. For an individual to wield such prestige, even Emperor Shen Zhui should feel threatened by his existence...

Hualala!

At this moment, a golden carriage arrived at the scene.

”It is Emperor Shen Zhui... He has come. Looks like there’s a show to watch...”

Witnessing the carriage and the figure who emerged from the carriage, Zhang Liao and Zhang Mo shuddered.

Speak of the devil. Emperor Shen Zhui has arrived in person; he must have decided to make a move due to the pressure from the other party’s capabilities.

Even though there are many experts present, they are still far from sufficient to go up against an entire kingdom.

Besides, rumors have it that Tianxuan Kingdom’s Royal Elder has achieved Half-Zongshi level, causing the surrounding kingdoms to not dare move recklessly. Even though the people gathered here are all incredible figures, they aren’t sufficient to go up against an expert of that level.

”Your Majesty, you have come!”

”Paying respects to Your Majesty!”

”Your Majesty, looks like you have arrived earlier today. I have helped you book a slot. Come over...”
