Chapter 1646: Secrets of the Soul Shaman (Part 1)

Regardless, she was a favored child of heaven, a renowned top genius across the entire continent, and most importantly... very beautiful, one in ten thousand...

When Elder Fang Yun said that, you looked so disdainful... what did you mean?

"Literal meaning. Don't dwell on it. You're too ugly; I don't like you!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan, too lazy to bother with the other who was about to explode, looked at Elder Fang Yun again: "I already have someone I like. Forget the marriage alliance; I won't marry into the Jiang family. If you still want me to be clan leader under these conditions, I won't refuse, and I'll find a way to lead the Jiang family on a better path, not an evil one!"

The alien spirit clan had already appeared, and the great war was about to begin. He had already won over the Zhang family and the Luo family. If the Jiang family could also follow his command, that would be best.

It would also help him better uncover what exactly was going on with that fair-skinned young man.

After all, with the Heavenly Fate Master's betrayal, the Jiang family's betrayal, and even betrayals within the Master Teacher Academy... he felt things couldn't be that simple.

Perhaps, like with Luo Qiqi before, it might also be a misunderstanding.

Hearing that he was unwilling to join the Jiang family, all the elders fell silent.

Having an outsider serve as the clan's leader... this had never happened before.

"That definitely won't work. We're a family clan, not a sect. Without blood ties, how can we command respect?"

"He has refined the clan leader's token, mastered the clan's grand formation, and read all the clan's books. If he doesn't stay in the clan, what secrets will the Jiang family have left?"

"Having comprehended the True Solution of the Soul, he's already inextricably linked to the Jiang family. Now that he refuses the marriage alliance, if he stays long enough, he'll surely agree. It's nothing... Feifei, though a bit ugly and bad-tempered, with time and cultivation, feelings can grow..."

"The Hundred Schools of Thought have arrived on the continent. According to news just received, the underground caverns are abnormally active, and the Master Teacher Academy and the War Teacher Academy seem unable to hold out much longer... Once chaos erupts, the Jiang family, as one of the three great clans, will bear the brunt! The clan... indeed needs a powerhouse who has comprehended the True Solution of the Soul to take charge!"

"Moreover, his understanding of cultivation is so profound; even casual guidance benefits us all immensely..."

...

The elders discussed among themselves.

Some agreed, some opposed.

"Since you're not from the Jiang family, may I ask who you really are?"

After deliberating for a long time without any conclusion, Jiang Fangyun looked over.

The others also stopped their discussions, full of curiosity.

Even Jiang Feifei no longer dwelled on being called ugly.

"To be honest, I am..."

Knowing that hiding it any longer was pointless, Zhang Xuan's disguise vanished in an instant, and his voice returned to his own: "Zhang Xuan!"

"Zhang Xuan? That little genius of the Zhang family?"

"The Zhang family clan leader?"

They looked at each other, all feeling as if they were about to explode.

The Zhang family head had come to their Jiang family, not only reading all the books but also comprehending the True Solution of the Soul... and refining the clan leader's token...

They had thought that even if he wasn't a clan member, he must be an old-timer who had stayed in the clan for a long time; otherwise, he couldn't know so much about the Jiang family. They never dreamed he was only a twenty-year-old youth.

Most importantly... he had hardly ever visited the Jiang family!

And upon arriving, he comprehended the True Solution...

"You, you..." Jiang Feifei's face turned pale, her eyes nearly popping out.

Saying in front of him that he only knew how to show off... did that count as offending him?

But it seemed he was even worse, calling me ugly!

She had originally thought of finding a chance to beat him up, but now it seemed there was no opportunity...

This guy was too strong...

At the Master Teacher Academy, over a dozen nine-star master teachers, along with the acting head, couldn't do anything to him. If she went after him, she'd probably be slapped flying, not even leaving a trace.

"You're Zhang Xuan... no wonder you could burn the Zhang family bloodline and use the True Solution of Time..."

Jiang Fangyou, learning the true identity of the person before him, was struck as if by lightning, unable to believe it.

He had thought it was some mighty expert, but never dreamed... it was a youth younger than his own daughter.

"No, you just used not only the True Solution of Time but also the True Solution of Spatial Sealing... Have you also comprehended spatial sealing?"

Remembering something, his pupils contracted, and Jiang Fangyou couldn't help asking.

"That's right, I have also comprehended the True Solution of Spatial Sealing."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The situation earlier was critical; he had already displayed the True Solution of Sealing, so there was no hiding it. He might as well admit it openly.

"You've comprehended the True Solution of Sealing, then... that Luo Tianya of the Luo family..."

Remembering that this person had disguised himself as him, fooling even the elders and his own daughter, and combined with Luo Tianya's sudden appearance... Jiang Fangyou's eyes were filled with terror.

"That's right, Luo Tianya was my disguise." Zhang Xuan nodded again.

"This... no wonder!"

His body swayed, and Jiang Fangyou finally understood, showing a bitter smile.

He had been wondering how the Luo family had such good luck—just after being slapped down, a peerless genius appeared. After all this fuss, it was still this Zhang Xuan...

Jiang Feifei on the side was also completely stunned.

One person holding the positions of two clan leaders...

Was that even possible?

Compared to him, she was nothing.

True Solution of Time, True Solution of Space, True Solution of the Soul... all comprehended by one person...

Since when were True Solutions so worthless that anyone could achieve them?

Over tens of thousands of years, aside from the ancestors, almost no descendants of the three great clans had accomplished this... Compared to this guy, all the descendants felt like useless trash.

"Everyone!"

After the shock, Jiang Fangyou recovered and looked around: "I'll say just one thing. The final decision is up to you!"

"Clan leader, please speak!"

Jiang Fangyun and the others looked over.

"The soul seal in the treasure pavilion has disappeared... If I'm not mistaken, it was taken and refined by this Zhang Xuan, right?"

Jiang Fangyou said.

"I took it, but... I haven't refined it!" Zhang Xuan's face reddened.

Having looted their treasure pavilion, leaving not even a scrap, being asked about it publicly now was truly embarrassing.

It seemed he would have to return it to them later...

"Took the soul seal?"

Hearing Jiang Fangyou's words, all the elders were shaken. Then Jiang Fangyun stepped forward and directly knelt: "Jiang family junior, Jiang Fangyun, pays respects to the President!"

"Jiang family juniors, pay respects to the President!"

The other elders also knelt down in unison.

"President?"

Zhang Xuan was startled.

Weren't they just talking about clan leader?

President, what the heck?

"Since Clan Leader Zhang has read our Jiang family's techniques, you should know that our Jiang family's soul techniques are inherited from... the Soul Shamans!"

Seeing his confusion, Jiang Fangyou transmitted his voice.

"Mm!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

He had been puzzled about this before.

Hadn't the Soul Shamans been wiped out by the Master Teacher Academy? How could they still exist? And leaving behind a legacy so openly, standing tall on the continent?

"The soul seal is the seal of the Soul Shaman Guild's president from back then. Whoever can control it becomes the president of the Soul Shaman Guild. Our Jiang family is willing to serve you as our master..."

Jiang Fangyou bowed with clasped hands.
