The black-robed elder harrumphed coldly. "Humph, you do have quite a glib tongue. Do you take me as one of those naive, young ladies who fall for your words easily?"
"Naive, young ladies? Falling for my words?" Zhang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands earnestly, denying the accusation. At the same time, an inconspicuous frown surfaced on his head.
He could vaguely feel that the black-robed elder was referring to something with his words, but he had always conducted himself properly, never getting involved with any women. What could the other party possibly be getting at?
If others were to hear that, they might just think that he was a playboy!
"I will just get straight to the point with you."
With his hands behind his back, the elder slowly closed in on Zhang Xuan.
In that instant, Zhang Xuan felt as if a massive mountain was slowly making its way toward him, and the immense pressure that he felt seemed to sap the air from his lungs.
This pressure weighed on both his mind and his body, rendering him completely powerless. It was apparent that the other party wanted him to know the gap between them and force him to submit.
"Humph!" With narrowed eyes, Zhang Xuan drove his Heaven's Path zhenqi, and the pressure on him alleviated significantly.
As powerful as the other party was, there was no presence more imposing than the heavens.
"Hmm? Interesting!" Seeing that the other party was able to endure his pressure so easily, an interested gleam surfaced in the eyes of the black-robed elder.
"To be able to endure my pressure so easily, you must have some kind of formidable artifact on you. It seems like you have quite a doting teacher there."
"I am my teacher's only direct disciple, so he does treat me quite well," Zhang Xuan replied.
The other party was too fearsome. With his current strength, he stood no chance at all. Even escape seemed unlikely at this point. Thus, he could only place his hopes in his teacher, 'Yang Xuan', to deter the other party from doing anything overboard.
The black-robed elder looked at him and asked, "May I know whom your teacher is?"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "My teacher goes by the name of Yang Xuan."
Upon hearing the name, the black-robed elder's eyes narrowed menacingly, and he harrumphed coldly. "Yang Xuan? Young man, I still have a rather favorable impression of you. Don't lose it by lying!"
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt as if he was standing above a sinkhole and an unknown power would consume him at any moment.
Gritting his teeth to withstand the devastating might crushing him, Zhang Xuan asked, "Lying? Elder, why would you say such words?"
"I have met Yang shi once, and he has already long retired from worldly affairs. As far as I know, he has never accepted any students, and yet, you say that you are his student? Are you honestly expecting me to believe such words?" the black-robed elder said with a threatening edge in his voice.
"You have met... Yang Xuan?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in alarm, and for a moment, he found himself in a daze.
'Yang Xuan' was a name that he came up with spontaneously back then. In other words, it was a fictional character that he had fabricated... and yet, the black-robed elder was saying that he had met Yang Xuan?
