Chapter 1081: Exchange

It was previously said that the requirement to becoming a Celestial Saint was to be a Celestial Master Teacher .
But other than Kong shi, there was not a single person in the entire Master Teacher Continent who had managed to receive the acknowledgement of the heavens and become a Celestial Master Teacher . As such, they had always thought that it was all a pipe dream, a solution that could never come to be . Thus, when they felt the aura the young man before them was emanating, they fell into a daze .
Zhang shi was actually a… Celestial Master Teacher?
Vice Principal Ji Yan was not the only one who reacted in such a manner . Other than Luo Ruoxin, the remaining members of the group also had their mouths widened in shock, as if they had seen a ghost .
They knew that Zhang Xuan was a person who possessed unparalleled talent and outstanding leadership, but who would have thought that he was actually a real Celestial Master Teacher?
It was no wonder Ancient Sage Qiu Wu dissipated in shame!
His standing could be said to be on par with even Kong shi himself!
Retracting the aura around him, Zhang Xuan turned to Vice Principal Ji Yan and asked, "So, am I qualified to become a Celestial Saint?"
"O-of course!" Vice Principal Ji Yan hurriedly replied with quivering lips . At this point, how could he dare say no?
If even Celestial Master Teachers were unable to become Celestial Saints, it would be impossible for anyone else to do it .
Seeing that he had managed to convince everyone, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief . "Let's move quickly then . Otherwise, once the Skyleaf King lays his hands on the old principal, it'll be too late for regrets . "
If the group continued dawdling around due to their lack of confidence in his ability to become a Celestial Saint, the old principal would probably be dead before they could take any concrete action . With a life at stake, he could only reveal his identity so as to win them over .
Besides, once he became a Celestial Saint, the others were bound to learn about his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher as well . Since that was going to be the case, it made no difference whether he revealed it to them now or later .
And judging from the crowd's reaction, it seemed like he had made the right call as well .
"Alright, let's set off right now!" Zhang Xuan nodded .
"Alright!"
The crowd quickly made their way toward the roof of the Saint Ascension Hall once more .
The Saint Ascension Platform was not releasing any sacred light at the moment, so the Skyleaf King could access the area freely as they wished . They would have to make haste .
Hong long!
As soon as they arrived at the rooftop, they saw the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit grabbing the old principal's soul . The statue the latter was housed in before had already been reduced to fragments .
Upon seeing the crowd, the old principal immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Don't come over, I am already a dead man . There's no need for you to make unnecessary sacrifices for me . "
Even though he had never cultivated soul arts before, his soul was still able to stabilize significantly due to the sustained nourishment from the sacred light over time . As such, the destruction of the statue did not dissipate his soul instantaneously .
"Shut up!" With a tap of the Skyleaf King's finger, the old principal's voice immediately vanished . With a cold gaze in his eyes, the Skyleaf King turned to the crowd and said, "I thought that master teachers were all spineless cowards who feared death . What a surprise!"
Seeing that Zhang Yinqiu's soul was tightly grasped in the Skyleaf King's hands, Vice Principal Tan Qing clenched his jaws and said, "Let go of our principal! As the leader of the Qingtian Ten Great Kings, a Leaving Aperture realm expert, don't you think that it's beneath you to deal with a powerless soul?"
"Beneath me? Hah! If it wasn't for that, do you think that this fellow would have been able to live to this day?" the Skyleaf King replied with ferocity .
Trapped within the statue, Zhang Yinqiu was unable to leave the rooftop of the Saint Ascension Hall at all .
There were various intervals in which the Saint Ascension Platform did not emanated sacred light, and the Skyleaf King could have easily made use of such intervals to kill Zhang Yinqiu . The reason he had not done so was out of consideration of his standing, and just as Vice Principal Ji Yan and the others had guessed, it would also be harder for him to find a way to escape if all of the master teachers were killed .
Furthermore, Zhang Yinqiu posed no threat at all, and in his current form, living would only be more painful than death .
"What do we have to do for you to release the old principal?" Zhang Xuan asked with a deep frown .
Judging from how the Skyleaf King had yet to make a move after all this while, it was apparent that he was intending to use Zhang Yinqiu as leverage to negotiate with them .
"Simple! Hand over that fellow who beat me up along with the map, and I'll let him go . Otherwise, you will have to watch helplessly as his soul dissipates into nothing!" As the Skyleaf King spoke about the person who had beaten him up, his voice grew visibly colder and angrier .
This was the first time that someone had successfully managed to pull off an assault against him since becoming the number one expert of the Qingtian Ten Great Kings . To make matters worse, his head was utterly crushed, thus rendering his physical body completely useless . Just the thought of it left him so furious that he could explode on the spot .
"The fellow who beat you up?" Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes blankly .
He had thought that the Skyleaf King would use Zhang Yinqiu as a leverage to claim his life, but who could have known that his hatred for his clone far exceeded his…
But thinking about it, that was to be expected . After all, his clone had destroyed the other party's body in a single hit, so it was only natural that the other party was filled with antagonism for his clone .
"Indeed . Hand that fellow over with the map, and I will release Zhang Yinqiu!" the Skyleaf King nodded .
"Very well . We can hand them over to you, but you must swear to the Spirit God that not only will you not kill the old principal, you are also not to lay your hands on us in the next twenty-four hours!" Zhang Xuan said . "Otherwise, if you go after us right after we save the old principal, that would render the exchange completely meaningless!"
Considering that Zhang Xuan had the Seven-colored Earth Jade Essence in his hands, it would not take long for him to achieve a breakthrough on the Saint Ascension Platform . As long as he could prevent the Skyleaf King from attacking them for the time being, he would be able to successfully become a Celestial Saint and slay the latter .
The Skyleaf King was taken aback . "You know of our Spirit God?"
Swearing to the Spirit God was an extremely sacred and solemn ritual of their Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . A vow that was sworn to the Spirit God could not be broken, or else the Spirit God would claim one's soul as forfeit .
"Why? You dare not agree to our request? That's fine as well, but you need not dream about obtaining the map either; let's all die here together . We're all trapped here anyway, so it's only a matter of time before you join us in the underworld!" Noting the Skyleaf King's hesitation, Zhang Xuan immediately pushed his case on to topple the scales in his favor .
The Skyleaf King contemplated for a long while before he eventually nodded . "Alright then, I will make a vow to the Spirit God!"
"Let's begin then . " Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out an altar of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . It was the one that he had obtained from the hands of the Jadeleaf King .
Seeing how thorough Zhang Xuan was, the Skyleaf King realized that it would be impossible for him to dupe the other party, and he sneered coldly, "You sure are well-prepared, aren't you? Fine, I shall make a vow to the Spirit God here!"
