Chapter 1461: 1461
The activation of Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline happened so silently that it was hard for anyone to discern anything . However, due to the purity of the First Elder's bloodline, he immediately felt a faint resonance with Zhang Jiuxiao .
And to his shock, he found that the bloodline that Zhang Jiuxiao possessed was even stronger than his!
In the entire Zhang Clan, his bloodline was only second to the deputy clan head, the Xing Sword Saint . For an offspring of the side family to be able to suppress his bloodline… even after double checking it multiple times, he still found the matter inconceivable .
The First Elder's body stiffened in astonishment . I have only seen this level of purity in the young prodigy before . Could it possibly be him?
The young prodigy had been born with a bloodline comparable to the founder of the Zhang Clan, and due to that, he had directly been chosen as the next clan head, and a life of greatness lay ahead of him .
However, it was a pity that a certain incident had occurred, and shortly after… he had gone missing!
Given how pure Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline was, could it possibly be him?
No, that's not right . Zhang Jiuxiao is already in his late twenties whereas the young prodigy should only be twenty this year . There's a huge difference in their age, so they can't be the same person . Also, it doesn't make sense for us to have missed the high purity of his bloodline in the past!
Offspring of the Zhang Clan, regardless of whether they were from the main family or the side family, would have their bloodline checked at birth . In fact, there were some top geniuses whose bloodline purity could be checked through a unique method even while they were in their mother's womb . Naturally, Zhang Jiuxiao would have gone through such a check, and it would have been detailed in the records .
If the young man really possessed such a pure bloodline, there was no way that he could have been overlooked!
Or could the First Elder have remembered incorrectly and unintentionally overlooked this genius of the Zhang Clan?
"Wuzhen, head to the Hall of Rituals and bring Zhang Jiuxiao's record over to me," instructed the First Elder as turned his head .
"Yes!" Hearing the First Elder's command, Elder Wuzhen hurriedly left the area .
It did not take long for him to return with a book in hand .
Zhang Jiuxiao's record was stored in the archive room for the side family in the Hall of Rituals, so it had not been too difficult for him to find it . The First Elder hurriedly took the record and flipped it open . "The age indeed doesn't tally . His soul is stable, perfectly fused with his body, so the possibility of him being possessed by another person is zero . During the previous check, he only possessed the lowest bloodline that isn't even worth mentioning . How is there such a huge difference now?"
The First Elder swiftly finished looking through the record, and he could not help but shake his head in incomprehension .
A unique artifact was employed in order to check the bloodline of the Zhang Clan members so as to avoid human error and oversight . As such, the chances of any errors occurring were as good as zero . Besides, if someone with such a pure bloodline had been born, the Hall of Rituals would have responded through some kind of phenomenon, such as how the entire hall rattled and Kong shi's sculpture rose when the young prodigy was born .
All in all, there was simply no way that an offspring with a bloodline that pure could have been born without them realizing, lying low for more than twenty years before suddenly dazzling their eyes with his brilliance!
"I want you to investigate Zhang Jiuxiao's complete history, compile it into a report, and bring it to me!" the First Elder instructed .
The Zhang Clan's intelligence network was not to be scoffed at, and the fact that Zhang Jiuxiao was a master teacher made it even easier to look into his affairs . Thus, it did not take long before Elder Wuzhen returned once more with a book in hand .
The First Elder swiftly browsed through the content within, and he could not help but fall into deeper confusion .
It did seem like Zhang Jiuxiao was quite a talented individual, but to put it in Zhang Clan's standards, it was still rather lackluster . The turning point seemed to be around three to four months ago, when his rate of cultivation suddenly quickened . Nevertheless, it still had not reached a level where the Zhang Clan would need to pay much attention to him . .
Zhang Wuchen walked up and worriedly reported, "First Elder, I found out that just last night, Zhang Jiuxiao went to look for Zhang Xuan . Not only so, Zhang Xuan is currently not in the accommodation that we have assigned him . "
"Zhang Jiuxiao met Zhang Xuan last night?" The First Elder was bewildered to learn of the association between the two . He stroked his lower jaw and pondered for a moment before remarking, "Zhang Xuan seems to have come from the Qingyuan Empire as well…"
He had looked through the intelligence that the Zhang Clan had acquired on Zhang Xuan as well, and considering how Zhang Xuan also hailed from the Qingyuan Empire, it was likely that the both of them had gotten acquainted with one another then . Thinking about it, they did enter the Sanctum of Sages together, so it was impossible for the both of them not to know about one another .
The First Elder pondered for a while longer, but he was still unable to figure out what was happening . He rubbed his glabella and instructed, "Don't tell anyone about this matter yet . For the time being, dispatch some personnel to continue looking for Zhang Xuan—don't let him cause any trouble in the clan!"
To be honest, even he had to admit that the fellow named Zhang Xuan was a top genius, be it in terms of his mastery as a master teacher or the skills that he had displayed in his supporting occupations . Alas, it was a huge pity that he simply loved causing damage everywhere he went!
