Chapter 1569: Luo Xuanqing's Visit

Zhe Xu City?

Zhang Xuan looked down. The entire city seemed hidden within the void, surrounded by layers of overlapping mountains and drifting white clouds, like a maze.

Without a specific path, entering it would require tremendous effort.

What a formidable formation! he could not help but exclaim.

Like the Zhang family's formation, it is also a protective array for the clan, incorporating spatial techniques that make it easy to get lost. Of course, for people at our level, it is nothing much...

With a smile, Xing Jiansheng lightly tapped his finger, and a mirror immediately appeared before Zhang Xuan. Looking down through the mirror, he could clearly see the correct path within the formation. Following it, they could enter easily.

This formation constantly changed, making its patterns unpredictable. Being able to instantly identify the path showed that this nominal father was also highly skilled in formations.

Are those guests from the Zhang family ahead?

After proceeding a little further, a clear laugh rang out, and several figures appeared in the air.

The foremost was the previous Great Elder, Luo Qingchen.

Indeed...

Xing Jiansheng flew forward, with Zhang Xuan and the others following closely.

The Luo family has prepared guest quarters, awaiting your arrival!

Luo Qingchen smiled lightly and flew down first.

The others followed, and the Zhang family disciples behind them also urged their flying sacred beasts to follow closely.

The guest quarters prepared by the Luo family were a massive mansion, spacious and vast, where all forty sacred beasts could land without feeling cramped.

Everyone, rest for a day. I will gather all the family elders and the secluded supreme elders, and we will discuss how to arrange the marriage tomorrow. The union of our two families is a major event in the entire continent; we must not be hasty!

After arranging everything, Luo Qingchen smiled.

The Great Elder is absolutely right! Xing Jiansheng nodded.

Then I shall trouble you all to stay here for now... Luo Qingchen said no more, assigned specific elders to take care of their daily needs, and then slowly withdrew.

So this is Luo Ruoxi's family?

The guest room was exquisitely arranged, with various formations combined into a huge spirit-gathering array, an absolute paradise for cultivators.

Walking slowly through it, Zhang Xuan's heart was filled with excitement.

He had met many girls along the way, and many had feelings for him, but only this girl stirred a unique emotion in him. As time fermented, that feeling grew like aged wine, increasingly intense, fragrant and sweet, intoxicating and hard to let go.

What, can't even wait until tomorrow?

Seeing him pacing restlessly in the courtyard, Meng Jiansheng came over with a smile.

With her strength, she could naturally tell that her son, who had remained unflustered even when surrounded by many experts from the Master Teacher Hall, was now unsettled at heart.

How could that be... I'm just looking around... Zhang Xuan's face flushed with embarrassment.

Rest assured, the marriage between the Zhang and Luo families is inevitable; there is no need to worry. Moreover, even without this betrothal, if it's a girl you like, your mother will help you snatch her back! With a wave of her hand, Meng Jiansheng exuded a domineering aura.

Knowing that his mother was indeed capable of such a thing, Zhang Xuan smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when the Luo family elder in charge of their care approached: Patriarch Zhang, Young Master Xuanqing wishes to see you.

Take me to him quickly...

Hearing that Luo Xuanqing was in the family, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

He had thought the other was still at the Saint Son Hall, but it turned out he had already returned.

That made sense—with his sister about to marry, such a major event would surely require him to return to the family as quickly as possible.

Following the elder, he soon arrived at the living room and indeed saw Luo Xuanqing sitting inside, holding a teacup, seemingly lost in thought. Seeing him enter, Luo Xuanqing quickly stood up, cupped his fists, and said: Luo family disciple, Luo Xuanqing, pays respects to Patriarch Zhang and Hall Master of the Saint Son Hall!

"Brother Luo, you're too polite..."

Seeing such a grand courtesy, Zhang Xuan quickly stepped forward.

Looking up at the young man before him, Luo Xuanqing's eyes were filled with myriad emotions.

Earlier, he had thought Zhang Xuan was just an ordinary person, befriending him only because of similar temperaments. When he learned that Zhang Xuan had deceived his sister, he flew into a rage and wanted to beat him to death... But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the other party had not only become the Zhang family's little genius, betrothed to his sister from childhood, but also the master of the Saint Son Hall, with disciples each incredibly powerful...

He had personally confirmed the news many times, yet still couldn't believe it.

At first, when his sister said this fellow from a small place like the Hongyuan Empire was outstanding, he had scoffed, thinking it was nothing special. Only now did he realize that his sister's judgment was truly extraordinary!

"Your cultivation... is at the peak of the Void Transcendence realm?"

While still lost in thought, he perceived the young man's strength and his pupils contracted again.

Just a few days ago when he had beaten him up, Zhang Xuan was only at the peak of the Entering Void realm. How long had it been, and now he was at the peak of the Void Transcendence realm?

He himself was proud to have reached the early stage of the Void Transcendence realm at such an age, but this fellow broke through as easily as drinking water or eating... Wasn't this too exaggerated?

"A fortunate breakthrough..."

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.

"Fortunate..."

Luo Xuanqing felt like he was suffocating from internal injuries. Every time he asked, this guy gave the same answer... Couldn't he at least give some dignity to his excuses?

Would it kill him to change the wording?

"I'd like to test your strength. Would you be willing to spar?"

Taking a deep breath, he looked over.

When he first met the other party, this fellow was merely a small fry at the fifth level of the Saint Domain, not worth mentioning. Yet in just two or three months, he had become stronger than him... Although he knew the other's talent was too formidable, he still felt somewhat unconvinced.

"Sure!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Having just broken through, he was also itching for a fight. It couldn't be better if the other party was willing to spar.

"Then let's begin..."

Acting on the thought, Luo Xuanqing stomped his foot and charged forward, arriving in front of Zhang Xuan in the blink of an eye. His five fingers spread in the air as he fiercely struck down.

Swish!

Space solidified, and the air became viscous.

In just a few days, he too had made great progress!

"Well struck!"

With a light laugh, Zhang Xuan abruptly raised the power within him. He raised his palm, about to meet the attack, when he suddenly stopped, frozen in mid-air.

"What's wrong? Don't hold back just because you think I'm no match for you. Let me see your true strength..."

Seeing him raise his power only to stop, standing still like a statue, Luo Xuanqing snorted coldly, the power in his hand swirling incessantly.

Although he guessed he might not be the other's opponent, since it was a spar, losing was losing. He disdained being given an advantage.

"It's not about giving way..."

Raising his hand, Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "It's just that I used too much force just now, and it seems, it seems I'm about to break through..."

Rumble!

Before he finished speaking, the sky immediately darkened, thunderclouds gathered, and lightning flashed.

The Universal Void Tribulation had arrived!
