Chapter 2045
There must be at least billions of people on the Forsaken Continent, so it was inevitable that some of them would share the same names . But for the other two rising stars of the other sects to have the same names as Zhang Xuan's direct disciples?
There was no way such a coincidence could possibly happen!
While others on the Forsaken Continent might not know of Zhang Xuan's direct disciples, Wu Chen was familiar with them . It was no easy feat to ascend to the Forsaken Continent . It was already incredible that Zhang Xuan had been able to make his way up there with his own strength, so how could he possibly be able to bring his direct disciples along with him?
Not to mention, it was hard to believe that even his direct disciples would grow as monstrously fast as him!
In other words . . . he suspected that 'Zheng Yang' and 'Liu Yang' were Zhang Xuan's aliases!
Thinking back to the days on the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan had always liked to take on new personas, such as Yang Xuan, Luo Tianya, and Sun Qiang . . . What better way was there for a humblebragger to humblebrag than this?
Sharply catching Wu Chen's murmurings, Han Jianqiu turned his gaze over and asked, "They are the same person? What do you mean by that?"
"No, it's nothing much . " Wu Chen shook his head . "It was just a casual remark . "
"I see . " Han Jianqiu nodded a little before remarking, "It seems like there will be a commotion at the Azure Bridge this time . I wonder how Zhang Xuan will fare against Zheng Yang and Liu Yang . To be honest, I'm looking forward to seeing those three geniuses going against one another in the dueling ring . "
"It will indeed be an interesting match . " Elder Liao nodded in agreement .
Wu Chen's eyes darted downward, and he murmured with an even softer voice that only he could hear, "It's indeed something worth anticipating . It's just that I wonder if the person-in-question feels the same way . . . "
Half a day later, Zhang Xuan arrived back at Starchaser Island .
"Paying respects to Pavilion Master Liu . " Kui Xiao clasped his fist .
He had thought that the young man had just gone around touring the area, oblivious to the fact that he had just made a round trip to the highly dangerous Vacant Sea .
"Pavilion master?" Zhang Xuan frowned at that title .
"I have just instructed the elders to officially relay the message to the other five sects . From this day onward, you will officially be the incumbent head of our Sevenstar Pavilion!" Kui Xiao said with a cheery smile . "There's no need to worry though . I'll be supporting you as an elder . "
Zhang Xuan did not expect everything to proceed so swiftly, and he could not help but shake his head .
However, since he had already given his word to Kui Xiao, he would not back out anymore . Besides, his influence as the head of the Sevenstar Pavilion would make it much easier for him to move around the Forsaken Continent .
He would just have to leave the Blackback Tortoise with them before leaving the Forsaken Continent in order to repay them for this favor .
"How is the relationship between the Sevenstar Pavilion and Starchaser Palace?" Zhang Xuan asked .
"On the whole, Starchaser Palace doesn't really have friendly relations with any of the other five sects . The Sevenstar Pavilion liaises with Starchaser Palace regarding business matters, but other than that, I'm afraid that we don't have any informal connections with them," Elder Kui Xiao replied .
"In other words, we aren't close to them at all?" Zhang Xuan asked with a deep frown .
"It wouldn't be wrong to say that . " Elder Kui Xiao nodded . "However, it doesn't mean that it's impossible to bargain with them . As the head of the Sevenstar Pavilion, as long as what you request isn't overboard, they will still try to accommodate your request to uphold some basic formalities . "
Even if the two sects were not close with one another, as fellow heads of the Six Sects, they still had to give each other some leeway . After all, there was no saying when they would require each other's help, especially since there was a greater threat looming above them .
It would be unwise to cause a fallout over minor issues .
"I wish to pay a visit to the head of Starchaser Palace to ask about some matters," Zhang Xuan said .
"If you are just asking some questions, it shouldn't be too much of a problem . " Elder Kui Xiao nodded . "As long as it doesn't involve their rituals and the gods, I don't see any issues in that . As you know, Starchaser Palace's greatest strength is its ability to reach out to the gods . Naturally, that's a confidential matter to them, and it would be unwise to ask them to share such sensitive matters . "
Back then, when the heads of the Six Sects were gathered together to discuss their plans for the Azure Bridge, Hall Master Qin Yuan had just broached the subject a little, and that had nearly landed them in a fight .
As long as the young man did not touch this sensitive topic, everything should be fine .
"This . . . "
Those words left Zhang Xuan completely wide-eyed .
Those two were the exact things that he wanted to ask the head of Starchaser Palace about!
Taking the young man's response into sight, Elder Kui Xiao's eyes widened as well as he carefully asked, "Pavilion Master Liu, do you intend to ask them about that?"
"Well, there is something extremely important to me that I really need to verify with Palace Master Du," Zhang Xuan replied hesitantly . "Do you know how I can get into contact with her?"
Even though Elder Kui Xiao had already discouraged him, he still wanted to give it a try .
If he visited her and asked her in his capacity as the head of the Sevenstar Pavilion, it was more likely that he would receive a favorable response compared to him probing around as a disciple .
Seeing that the young man's mind was made up, Elder Kui Xiao rubbed his temples in exasperation . It was just a moment ago that he had officially announced that he was passing down his position to this young fellow, and this young fellow was already starting to stir trouble .
Eventually, though, out of consideration that the young man was already the pavilion master, he still spoke up . "It's not too difficult to get in contact with her . I should be able to help you arrange a meeting . However, Pavilion Master Liu, you must exercise the utmost prudence . Palace Master Du is a very hot-tempered person . If you get into a verbal disagreement with her, I will have to ask you to calm down and consider the interests of our sect . . . "
To be honest, he was not too worried about the young man's safety . Du Qingyuan was a formidable cultivator, but their new pavilion master had a Semi-Divinity artifact and the Blackback Tortoise with him . If a battle really broke out, the one who would be in a disadvantageous position might not necessarily be him .
That being said, it was still best to avoid a conflict altogether . As heads of their respective powers, their relationship with one another would dictate the future relationship between their respective powers .
"Rest assured, I would just like to ask some basic questions . I have no intention of burning bridges," Zhang Xuan said with a smile .
He had always gone with the mentality of an eye for an eye . He would not cause trouble if the other party did not provoke him, not to mention that the relationship between the two sects was at stake .
"That's a huge relief!" Elder Kui Xiao patted his chest in relief upon receiving that promise . "Alright then, I'll help you contact her right now . "
After that, he took out a Communication Jade Token and tapped it lightly .
A few moments later, he raised his head and said, "Pavilion Master Liu, she has agreed to a meeting with you . However, she requests for the meeting to be in Starchaser Palace . "
Zhang Xuan nodded in response .
