Chapter 1620: Go Beat Up Zhang Xuan!

"Seeking opportunities? Cough, cough!"

Luo Qianzhen nearly choked on his saliva.

Because the other party was a collateral descendant who had never appeared before, with little emotional attachment to the clan, the purpose of giving him so many resources in one go was simple: to make him feel a sense of belonging to the clan and to serve his clansmen.

But this guy, having taken the goods, hadn't even left the treasure vault's gate before he wanted to bolt...

Could he be any quicker?

Even if you don't care much about the position of clan leader, you can't just ignore everything!

"Clan leader, don't rush to seek opportunities just yet. The elders have just discussed a decision and want you to make the final call... Once this matter is settled, even if you want to go out, it won't matter..."

With a helpless look, Luo Qianzhen spoke.

"What decision?" Zhang Xuan looked over.

"Yesterday, the Zhang clan publicly broke off the engagement. You must already know about it, clan leader," Luo Qianzhen said, looking at him.

"Mm," Zhang Xuan nodded.

This matter, he was the protagonist, and he knew it clearly.

"The Luo clan is the second largest clan in the Master Teacher Continent, always respected. But to have such a scene play out in front of so many people, losing all face... We were outmatched, so there was nothing we could do. We didn't originally plan anything, but then the clan leader appeared, turned the tide, and even the geniuses of the Hundred Schools of Thought were no match..."

Luo Qianzhen's eyes lit up.

This person before him had not only comprehended the True Solution of Sealing but was also invincible at the same level, with a cultivation level he had never seen in his life.

"So... the elders have discussed and decided that the clan leader should go to the Zhang clan to avenge yesterday's humiliation! Re-establish the Luo clan's prestige, and let everyone know that the Luo clan cannot be disgraced..."

"Go to the Zhang clan for revenge?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched.

"That's right. The strength of that Zhang clan leader, Zhang Xuan, is at the early stage of Saint Domain Ninth Layer, just broken through the night before last. Even if he has unparalleled talent, he can at most stabilize his cultivation. He's definitely no match for you, clan leader... Since you can defeat even a same-level opponent like Nangong Yuanfeng, teaching a lesson to a Zhang Xuan weaker than yourself should be a piece of cake!"

The more Luo Qianzhen spoke, the more excited he became: "The elders' idea is simple: have the clan leader personally challenge the Zhang clan leader, beat him until he can't find his teeth, and then our Luo clan can regain its glory and wash away the recent decline..."

Wasn't the Zhang clan arrogant because that Zhang Xuan was the Hall Master of the Saint Child Hall, the senior brother of Teacher Yang, and his disciples were hall masters and palace lords of various major powers?

As long as this Luo Tianya clan leader went over and taught him a lesson, beat him until he couldn't fight back, in a fair duel, no one could say anything!

The Zhang clan stepped on them to establish their prestige, so... don't blame them for stepping on the Zhang clan to intimidate the continent.

"I..."

Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

As the Luo clan, having a new powerful clan leader to wash away the humiliation was indeed fine, but... the key was... that Zhang Xuan was also him!

Make himself fight himself?

Could this be any more ridiculous?

"If this matter succeeds, our Luo clan will not only regain its reputation but also reunite the scattered hearts... I hope the clan leader will not refuse! After it's done, the clan leader can go wherever he wants..."

Luo Qianzhen hurriedly said.

The Luo clan was publicly humiliated by the broken engagement, watched by so many major powers, losing all face. To quickly recover, they had to go to the Zhang clan to pick a fight and beat that Zhang Xuan until he had no power to resist.

Otherwise, just by establishing a new clan leader and saying a few words, how could they regain their dignity?

As for the matter of the Hundred Schools of Thought, it was too big and not suitable for excessive publicity. They could only use the Zhang clan as a sacrifice to change the current situation.

"Let me think it over, give me a moment, a moment..."

His chest aching, Zhang Xuan's face turned blue with suppressed emotion.

Why is everyone so eager to trample on my face... What kind of nonsense is this!

It's not like I wanted to break off the engagement...

"No need to wait, we believe in the clan leader's strength!" Luo Qianzhen chuckled, walking out of the treasure vault in a few steps. "All the elders are already in the main hall, ready. We can set off now!"

"Set off now?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

"Exactly! Revenge should not be delayed overnight! Our Luo family has stood for tens of thousands of years—when have we ever suffered such humiliation! Although the clan leader's competition with the Hundred Schools of Thought is a big deal and not convenient to spread, if we delay too long, the Zhang family will surely find out. What if that Zhang Xuan gets scared and flees? Won't we be left with nothing?"

Luo Qianzhen suddenly clasped his fists: "Please, clan leader, make a decision quickly, for the sake of the clan and for the Luo family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years!"

"..."

Zhang Xuan felt like crying but had no tears.

You only think about the Luo family, but have you considered my feelings?

I'm not only your Luo family's clan leader, but also a member of the Zhang family... Letting me challenge myself and slap my own face...

"Let me first hear the opinions of the elders..."

Frustrated to the point of exploding, but seeing Luo Qianzhen's eager gaze, Zhang Xuan hesitated and then spoke.

"This way, clan leader!" Hearing no further refusal, Luo Qianzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was extremely angry at that Zhang Xuan, the guy indeed had skills beyond ordinary imagination and was now the Zhang family's greatest pride. As long as they could beat him up, all the humiliation would be swept away, and they might even gain great fame.

Soon, the two arrived at the main hall, where they saw the elders already seated. Seeing him enter, they stood up excitedly.

"Clan leader, shall we set off now?"

"Kill that bastard Zhang Xuan!"

"Let him know that our Luo family also has true geniuses..."

……

Everyone clenched their fists.

“……”

Zhang Xuan's vision went dark.

What kind of nonsense was this?

He had come with good intentions, to make up for the losses the Luo family had suffered, but now... he had been forced to become the clan leader!

That was bad enough.

But now they wanted him to go and beat himself up...

If he revealed his identity now and said he was Zhang Xuan... not only would he fail to make amends, but he might even be seen as deliberately mocking them, and there would be no possibility of reconciliation between the Zhang and Luo families.

It might even lead directly to war!

"I can understand everyone's feelings, but I don't think the time is right to challenge the Zhang family..." After holding back for a long time, Zhang Xuan had to say.

"That Zhang Xuan is indeed very strong, and can be considered invincible at the same level, but... the clan leader has even defeated Nangong Yuanfeng, so defeating him shouldn't be hard! This time, we'll have a fair fight, send a challenge letter, invite the Mentor Hall to observe... if we follow all the rules, the Zhang family should be too concerned about face to refuse. Why do you say the time isn't right?"

"Yes, the clan leader is from a branch family, has never appeared before, keeps a low profile, and has no reputation on the continent. If not for the purity of his bloodline, we would doubt whether he is even a clansman. We all feel this way, let alone others. This time, it's not just about teaching that arrogant Zhang Xuan of the Zhang family a lesson, but more importantly, establishing the clan leader's reputation and letting everyone on the continent know..."

……

Seeing him decline, the elders discussed among themselves.

“……”

Zhang Xuan.

Everyone's arguments were so reasonable... he felt he didn't know how to respond.
