"What Tang Zhou said makes sense." Zhang Jiao nodded lightly and declined to comment. He then looked at the others and asked calmly, "What do you guys think?"
"Master, I feel that we can't give up our Changshan County!"
Before Zhang Jiao finished his sentence, a muscular man walked out from the group and said in a low voice: "If we retreat in front of a tiny Changshan County, how would the people of the world view us?!"
"Senior Martial Brother Ma is right!" Another sturdy man walked out from the group, he cupped his hands towards Zhang Jiao and said respectfully: "Master, although I do not know what exactly is hidden in Zhending County, but even if Master is unable to solve it with your strength, doesn't that mean that there is still the Martial Ancestor of Nanhua?"
The matter of Zhang Jiao being taught by Old Immortal Nanhua wasn't a secret. Not to mention the inside of the Taiping Road, even the thirteen prefectures of the big men were abuzz with the news.
Old Immortal Nanhua was the only known existence that had stepped into the Celestial Immortal Stage, so his strength was naturally without a doubt. Hearing the sturdy man's words, the other people in the hall couldn't help but have expressions of agreement.
Was there anyone stronger than Old Immortal Nanhua in this world?!
Zhang Jiao heard this and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Yi, Yuanzhi, you guys are thinking too simply. The Martial Ancestor of Nanhua will not intervene."
"Even if he makes a move, he might not necessarily be the opponent of that person from Zhending County …" However, Zhang Jiao didn't say that out loud. He was very clear about the personality of his disciples. Saying that would only break their confidence.
"After all, your grandteacher is a stranger. Even if the Han Dynasty is approaching, he still doesn't want to be affected by karma," Zhang Jiao casually explained as he looked at Ma Yuanyi and Cheng Yuanzhi.
When Ma Yuanyi and Cheng Yuanzhi heard this, they calmed down. However, Ma Yuanyi was still puzzled and asked doubtfully, "Master, what exactly is hidden in the Zhending County that can make you so afraid?"
He was very clear on how strong Zhang Jiao was. Even though Zhang Jiao was only at the peak of the Worldly Immortal Stage, in his opinion, he was no weaker than the legendary Void-earth Immortal.
"I'm not afraid to tell you all that there's Void-earth Immortal overseeing the Zhending County!" Zhang Jiao pondered for a moment before speaking.
However, he did not tell the others how strong Xiao Tian was. Ma Yuanyi and Cheng Yuanzhi thought Xiao Tian was just an ordinary Void-earth Immortal.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you're so afraid of Master. Void-earth Immortal is indeed worth Master's respect." Tang Zhou's expression was sinister, and his voice was like the cold wind blowing through the netherworld, causing others to shudder.
"Eldest Brother!" When Ma Yuanyi heard this, he was not convinced. He glared at Tang Zhou and refuted, "With Master's strength, it's just Void-earth Immortal. Could it be that he can't deal with him?"
The corner of Zhang Jiao's mouth twitched imperceptibly. He wanted to say that with his strength, he really couldn't handle Xiao Tian. However, when he saw his other disciples looking at Tang Zhou with resentment, he didn't say anything to discourage them.
"A short-sighted rat!" Tang Zhou snorted coldly, and said sinisterly: "Master is indeed not afraid of a small Void-earth Immortal, but you should not forget, in Chang'an City, there is still a Void-earth Immortal!"
