At the same time, Xueying also recognized the mysterious person.

Xueying stared at the mysterious person with suspicion, but because the person was shrouded in dazzling light, she couldn't see their appearance clearly.

However, he could sense that the opponent's strength was extremely formidable and unfathomable!

It is estimated that among all those present, only a handful of people, such as Elder Xun and Ling Fengzi, might be able to match this person.

Everyone stared at the mysterious man with suspicion and uncertainty, secretly on guard.

Qin Feng, hidden in the shadows, was filled with shock and confusion.

He stared wide-eyed at the "mysterious person," as if trying to see through the dazzling light to discern the other's true identity.

Various thoughts flashed through Qin Feng's mind. Like everyone else, he couldn't see the "mysterious person's" face because the light was too dazzling.

However, a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart, making him involuntarily think of his apprentice, Zhang Xianzong.

But how could that be?

How did Zhang Xianzong end up here?

Moreover, how could he possibly break through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm in such a short time, and even become a top performer among those of the same realm?

This is simply a fantasy!

Moreover, Zhang Xianzong should be in the human realm!

Just as Qin Feng was lost in thought, the dazzling light that enveloped the "mysterious man" suddenly began to dissipate.

As the light gradually dimmed, the appearance of the "mysterious man" slowly came into view.

The first thing that catches the eye is a bald head, followed by a monk's robe.

Qin Feng took a closer look and was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Holy crap, it really is Zhang Xianzong?

On the other side, Zhang Xianzong had a faint smile on his lips as he looked at Ling Xuan with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Oh? You ask who I am?" He chuckled, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Well, I'm just an ordinary person."

"As for your statement that I dare not appear in front of you, that's quite amusing."

Lingxuan's face instantly turned ashen, and he stared intently at Zhang Xianzong, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Stop talking nonsense!" he roared, his voice so powerful it made the surrounding air tremble slightly. "Hand over that sword right now!!"

Zhang Xianzong remained unmoved. He continued to look at Ling Xuan with a smile, and even shook his head slightly, as if he felt helpless about Ling Xuan's anger.

"Oh dear, why get so worked up?" he said slowly. "It's just a sword, is it really worth getting so angry?"

Hearing Zhang Xianzong's words, Lingxuan's face turned green with anger. Just a sword? That was a top-grade Chaos Innate Treasure, and a supreme weapon at that!

However, he had no time to argue with Zhang Xianzong. He coldly threatened, "Stop talking nonsense and hand it over now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing Ling Xuan's threat, Zhang Xianzong showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he burst into laughter. "Hahaha..."

"You're welcome?" He said as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "You think you can be rude to me, you weakling?"

His laughter echoed in the air, carrying a clear sense of mockery, which made Lingxuan's face even uglier.

It's not that I look down on you!

Zhang Xianzong stopped laughing and said with a disdainful look, "Dealing with a weakling like you, I don't need to exert any effort at all. One finger is enough to torture you to death!"

"You're asking for death!" Ling Xuan was furious, his face contorted with rage. His body trembled with extreme anger, as if he were about to explode at any moment.

He stared wide-eyed at Zhang Xianzong, his anger seeming to burn the man to ashes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lingxuan swiftly drew a divine sword that radiated a cold light.

This divine sword shimmered with dazzling light, as if it contained boundless power.

With a furious shout, Lingxuan swung his divine sword, and a sharp sword beam shot towards Zhang Xianzong like lightning.

However, Zhang Xianzong remained unusually calm in the face of this astonishing attack. A slight smile of contempt crept onto his lips, as if he didn't take Ling Xuan's attack seriously at all.

He slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it forward.

In an instant, an invisible force rose up in front of Zhang Xianzong like an indestructible wall of air.

The sword beam slammed into the wall of energy, producing a deafening roar.

However, to everyone's astonishment, this seemingly invincible sword light vanished without a trace the moment it touched the barrier of energy, just like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

"Is that all you've got?" Zhang Xianzong's voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, and his smile grew even brighter, as if mocking Lingxuan's overestimation of his abilities.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xianzong's figure flashed like a ghost at an astonishing speed, instantly appearing in front of Lingxuan.

Lingxuan didn't even have time to react. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and Zhang Xianzong's figure appeared before him like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xianzong raised his hand without any mercy and slapped Lingxuan hard across the face.

The slap was incredibly fast and powerful. Lingxuan felt a dizzying sensation before her eyes and was sent flying backward.

Lingxuan fell heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

He was both shocked and furious. He struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred. "You...you dare to humiliate me like this!"

Just as Lingxuan was about to take action to avenge himself, his body suddenly froze, because a figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.

Lingxuan looked closely and realized it was Ling Fengzi!

Ling Fengzi's face was gloomy, his eyes glaring at Ling Xuan. He raised his right hand and slapped Ling Xuan hard across the face without any mercy.

A sharp "smack" rang out, the slap was exceptionally loud, as if the entire space shook.

A bruised handprint immediately appeared on Lingxuan's face, and his head was tilted to one side due to the enormous force.

Lingxuan was completely stunned by the sudden slap. He stared blankly at Lingfengzi, unable to utter a word for a moment.

“Your Majesty the Holy King…you…” Lingxuan finally came to her senses and stammered.

However, before he could finish speaking, Ling Fengzi rudely interrupted him.

"You idiot, shut up!"

Ling Fengzi's voice was filled with anger. He glared fiercely at Ling Xuan, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Ling Fengzi was so angry at this fool that he was furious. They were currently dealing with Ning Kong and Hao Yue, two powerful enemies, and this Ling Xuan actually went to provoke a mysterious and powerful expert of unknown origin at this critical moment!

Isn't this as if they're already under enough pressure?
