Chapter 1461: Surviving the Lightning Ordeal

The activation of Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline happened so silently that it was hard for anyone to discern anything. However, due to the purity of the First Elder's bloodline, he immediately felt a faint resonance with Zhang Jiuxiao.
And to his shock, he found that the bloodline that Zhang Jiuxiao possessed was even stronger than his!
In the entire Zhang Clan, his bloodline was only second to the deputy clan head, the Xing Sword Saint. For an offspring of the side family to be able to suppress his bloodline... even after double checking it multiple times, he still found the matter inconceivable.
The First Elder's body stiffened in astonishment. I have only seen this level of purity in the young prodigy before. Could it possibly be him?
The young prodigy had been born with a bloodline comparable to the founder of the Zhang Clan, and due to that, he had directly been chosen as the next clan head, and a life of greatness lay ahead of him.
However, it was a pity that a certain incident had occurred, and shortly after... he had gone missing!
Given how pure Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline was, could it possibly be him?
No, that's not right. Zhang Jiuxiao is already in his late twenties whereas the young prodigy should only be twenty this year. There's a huge difference in their age, so they can't be the same person. Also, it doesn't make sense for us to have missed the high purity of his bloodline in the past!
Offspring of the Zhang Clan, regardless of whether they were from the main family or the side family, would have their bloodline checked at birth. In fact, there were some top geniuses whose bloodline purity could be checked through a unique method even while they were in their mother's womb. Naturally, Zhang Jiuxiao would have gone through such a check, and it would have been detailed in the records.
If the young man really possessed such a pure bloodline, there was no way that he could have been overlooked!
Or could the First Elder have remembered incorrectly and unintentionally overlooked this genius of the Zhang Clan?
"Wuzhen, head to the Hall of Rituals and bring Zhang Jiuxiao's record over to me," instructed the First Elder as turned his head.
"Yes!" Hearing the First Elder's command, Elder Wuzhen hurriedly left the area.
It did not take long for him to return with a book in hand.
Zhang Jiuxiao's record was stored in the archive room for the side family in the Hall of Rituals, so it had not been too difficult for him to find it. The First Elder hurriedly took the record and flipped it open. "The age indeed doesn't tally. His soul is stable, perfectly fused with his body, so the possibility of him being possessed by another person is zero. During the previous check, he only possessed the lowest bloodline that isn't even worth mentioning. How is there such a huge difference now?"
The First Elder swiftly finished looking through the record, and he could not help but shake his head in incomprehension.
A unique artifact was employed in order to check the bloodline of the Zhang Clan members so as to avoid human error and oversight. As such, the chances of any errors occurring were as good as zero. Besides, if someone with such a pure bloodline had been born, the Hall of Rituals would have responded through some kind of phenomenon, such as how the entire hall rattled and Kong shi's sculpture rose when the young prodigy was born.
