Chapter 82: Why So Much Trouble?

Along with the deaths of Zhang Xiao and a few others, the distress signal previously sent out by Situ Qingqing also got transmitted.

That silver-haired old man is a powerhouse of the Situ family; he probably rushed over after receiving the distress signal nearby!

"Received your distress signal, I came over, Miss. What trouble did you run into earlier? Are you alright?" The silver-haired old man instantly appeared beside Situ Qingqing and hurriedly checked her condition.

At the same time, he warily glanced at Li Zhangsheng beside him!

It was also unclear whether Situ Qingqing's distress signal had anything to do with this white-clad youth.

Situ Qingqing shook her head, "I'm fine, Fifth Grandfather……"

Afterward, Situ Qingqing recounted her ordeal to the silver-haired old man in full detail.

Finally, she continued:

"Thanks to this benefactor, he saved my and Chu Yue's lives."

"Besides, he is…… the master of Elder Brother Fang!"

Situ Qingqing looked toward Li Zhangsheng.

At this moment, she wasn't entirely sure whether this white-clad youth was truly Fang Han's master or not.

However, judging by appearances, he…… seemed not to be fake.

"Hmph, I never expected a few lackeys of the Tianfu Alliance to dare lay hands on the Situ family's young lady."

"The Tianfu Alliance's actions are really getting more and more arrogant." The silver-haired old man gave a cold snort.

Afterward he looked at Li Zhangsheng: "I never imagined that Fang Han actually had a master like you, fellow Daoist; no wonder our Situ family repeatedly tried to recruit him, but he refused—turns out he already had a master."

Saying this, the silver-haired old man clasped his fists toward Li Zhangsheng in thanks:

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for saving our young lady's life."

"If there's anything I, Situ Zhaohai, can do to help you, fellow Daoist, I will spare no effort."

"It was just a trivial matter; no need for such thanks." Li Zhangsheng said lightly:

"Actually, I have something I'd like to ask you."

"Does the Situ family know which direction my disciple Fang Han fled after being pursued by the Tianfu Alliance?"

After all, Fang Han is Li Zhangsheng's disciple, so Li Zhangsheng naturally worries about his safety!!

I also don't know whether my disciple has been caught up by pursuers.

If we only knew Fang Han's approximate escape direction, given Li Zhangsheng's speed and the range of his divine sense, finding him should not be difficult.

Of course, before that, Li Zhangsheng naturally ought to first pay a visit to that Tianfu Alliance.

They dared to besiege and kill my disciple—this Tianfu Alliance has no right to exist!

As long as we destroy this Tianfu Alliance, Fang Han should be safe!

"We don't know the escape direction of your disciple," Situ Zhaohai shook his head:

"However, our clan chief not long ago went to Lingxiao Star to attend a grand gathering and heard some news about your disciple!"

"But the clan chief never revealed the details to us; he merely solemnly told us not to discuss Fang Han within the Situ household, suggesting that your disciple has become involved in something."

"If you, fellow Daoist, wish to learn more about your disciple, you might as well come with us to the Situ residence and ask our clan chief in person."

"After all, fellow Daoist, you are the lifesaver of our young lady; with this kindness, our clan chief surely won't be stingy with this information."

Li Zhangsheng nodded: "All right!"

"Sounds like my disciple has gotten into trouble again—I don't know what trouble he's stirred up this time!"

Li Zhangsheng secretly shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist, have you just arrived in the Canghuan Continent? Why have I never seen you before?" Situ Zhaohai looked at Li Zhangsheng curiously.

He regarded Li Zhangsheng as an Immortal Sovereign realm powerhouse like himself.

The Immortal Sovereign realm is considered a notable figure even in the Canghuan Continent; the Situ family generally knows such people!

"Hmm." Li Zhangsheng nodded, "I usually wander around; this is my first time coming to the Canghuan Continent."

Li Zhangsheng also didn't say he came from the lower realms, otherwise he'd have to explain a lot!

"So fellow Daoist is a wandering wanderer." Situ Zhaohai clasped his fists again, being quite courteous toward Li Zhangsheng.

"Huh? That is……"

Just then, Situ Zhaohai's divine sense inadvertently swept over a not‑far temporal rift zone, and his expression suddenly changed!

He discovered that a crack had actually appeared in the temporal rift zone!

That crack rippled with a faint glow, slowly healing, as if it led directly into the depths of the temporal rift zone.

And that crack seemed to have been blasted open by something forced through!

"Good heavens, the temporal rift zone has opened a crack—when did this anomaly occur?!"

Situ Zhaohai's face turned pale with shock, as if he had discovered some earth‑shattering matter!

You see, within the Lingxu Heavenly Forbidden, the temporal rift zone is the most bizarre and dangerous place!

Because once you step in, a little carelessness will drain your lifespan and turn you into a desiccated skeleton!

In other perilous spots of the Lingxu Heavenly Forbidden, if cultivators encounter danger, they can still cope using their own abilities!

But in the temporal rift zone, when cultivators face danger, they don't know how to respond!

Or rather…… sometimes they don't even realize they're in danger, and silently pass away!

Precisely for this reason, among all the perilous spots in the Lingxu Heavenly Forbidden, the temporal rift zone is the place that makes people's faces change at the mere mention.

Although the restrictions of the Lingxu Heavenly Forbidden have weakened over the past year, few cultivators dare to venture in seeking opportunities!

Of course, although the temporal rift zone is dangerous, it harbors the rarest and most precious temporal supreme treasures; obtaining even one would be a tremendous opportunity!

This is also why Situ Zhaohai was so shocked to see a crack appear in the temporal rift zone!

That crack has a radius of about five meters, unaffected by the temporal laws over there; although it is healing, the healing speed is extremely slow!

If one were to enter the temporal rift zone through this crack before it fully heals, in search of temporal supreme treasures, then……

Heaven-sent good opportunity, heaven-sent good opportunity!

Miss, a rift has appeared in the Time Turbulent Zone, leading straight from the outside to the inside. While no one else has noticed, let's hurry in and search for the supreme treasure.

If we obtain a time-type supreme treasure, our Situ Family's rise is assured!!

Situ Zhaohai said, trembling all over, overcome with excitement!

No one has obtained a time-type supreme treasure from within the Time Turbulent Zone for tens of thousands of years!!

There are two reasons for this.

First, the danger level of the Time Turbulent Zone far exceeds that of other zones!

Second, naturally, time-type supreme treasures in the Time Turbulent Zone are extremely scarce!

Even if cultivators have the ability to enter the Time Turbulent Zone, only a handful throughout history have managed to obtain a time-type supreme treasure!

This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

Fifth Grandfather, what did you say?!

Upon hearing Situ Zhaohai's words, Situ Qingqing's pretty face also showed a hint of surprise!

Immediately, Situ Qingqing's divine sense swept toward the Time Turbulent Zone...

This...

Now, Situ Qingqing is completely flustered!

The Time Turbulent Zone actually has a rift appear!

When did this happen?

This is utterly shocking!

If this gets out, it will surely cause a huge sensation across the entire Azure Expanse Continent!!

Seeing Situ Zhaohai and Situ Qingqing's reactions, Li Zhangsheng also curiously looked toward the Time Turbulent Zone!

That rift—wasn't it just naturally split open when I dodged earlier? Is it really worth such a fuss?

Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself.

I never expected that the place I passed by and cracked would provoke such a strong reaction from those two!

I don't really understand!

Miss, there really is a rift in the Time Turbulent Zone! Chu Yue beside her also spotted the rift, excited like a startled deer:

Quick, Miss, while no other cultivators have noticed, let's seize the opportunity—we might actually obtain a time-type supreme treasure near that rift!

Situ Qingqing took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes turning to Li Zhangsheng: "That rift is unaffected by the Time Turbulent Zone's temporal laws; such an opportunity is rare, senior… why don't we first follow the rift to search for some supreme treasures, then return to the Situ Family?"

With such an opportunity right before her, if Situ Qingqing misses it, it would be utterly intolerable!

If you want to go over there, why all the trouble?" Li Zhangsheng said calmly: "I'll just take you there."
