There was silence for a while, with only frequent eye contact.

Zhang Shan remained calm and allowed the auras of the ten leaders to surround him.

When the atmosphere was tense, Zhang Shan spoke.

"Seniors, this is the situation. You should discuss it first and inform me after you come up with a result."

Lao Qi's eyes indicated that Zhao Xun took Zhang Shan down.

On the way away, the two of them looked at each other quietly, with smiles in their eyes.

In the side hall, Zhang Shan drinks tea slowly.

"As long as they are not stupid, they should know that cleaning up the door and fully assisting me in catching the demon cultivator is the best choice."

"With their help, who is the accomplice of the demon cultivator mentioned by Lifu Hall, and the true identity of the demon cultivator will soon be revealed."

"I just have to wait for the results with peace of mind."

Zhang Shan happily drank the warm tea. With such a dangerous existence as the demon cultivator, he would not do it head-on. If Li Fu Tangkou went up against him, wouldn't it be nice for him to take credit for his efforts?

"It's just that I need to participate in the whole process, so that I can make a difference in some things."

Thinking of something, the smile on Zhang Shan's face disappeared and he remained silent.

The result of the discussion among the ten leaders of Lifu Hall was not beyond Zhang Shan’s expectation.

They had no choice from the moment Tangkou was involved in the demon cultivator.

But just as Zhang Shan and Zhao Xun thought before, if they can dig out the heart of the corpse of the gangster and modify the records on the roster, the people involved must have certain power in the hall.

Even if ten leaders join forces to investigate, it won't be easy.

It's easy for the people below to investigate, and they can make the decision, but what if ten leaders are involved?

This is one of the reasons why this meeting was held. They wanted to make a collective decision and invite the leader of the retreat!

Ten hall masters came to the place where the hall master retreated, accompanied by Zhang Shan and Zhao Xun.

The place of retreat is located in the main courtyard at the entrance of Lifu Hall, and is protected by multiple formations.

Zhang Shan saw that the outermost layer was the warning formation. Once someone broke in without permission, the remaining formations would be activated to kill the intruders.

"When did your hall master start seclusion?" Zhang Shan and Zhao Xun walked together, Zhang Shan asked curiously.

"Half a year ago." Zhao Xun whispered back.

"It's so rich!" Zhang Shan muttered, half a year, even if the other formations inside are in a dormant state, just turning on the warning formation will take a lot of spiritual stones in half a year.

"By the way, what is the purpose of your hall master's retreat? Breakthrough?" Zhang Shan remembered the information collected from Lifu Hall. His hall master's cultivation level should be around the eighth or ninth level of the day after tomorrow, and his age is between fifty and sixty.

At this age and with this level of cultivation, it is almost rare for someone to be in solitary confinement for such a long time.

"It should be a breakthrough in cultivation, or some powerful martial arts. The hall master has always been diligent in training." Zhao Xun replied.

Diligence? Zhang Shan thought of himself. If there was no system, and with his talent, if he had been practicing diligently and hard, it would probably take him fifty or sixty years to reach the eighth or ninth level.

The two of them were whispering behind each other, and the ten leaders stood outside the main courtyard, clasping their hands and channeling their inner energy into a token.

The token escaped into the warning formation, which was left by the hall master to contact him in case of emergency.

However, after a while, the formation remained the same, and there was no movement from the hospital.

Everyone outside the main courtyard frowned.

After waiting for about half an hour, the ten leaders, Zhang Shan and Zhao Xun, looked at each other in confusion.

Another half an hour passed, but there was still no movement. They realized something was wrong and wanted to break in, but they were afraid that the hall master had reached a critical moment in his practice and had no time to be distracted.

Then if they break in and ruin the hall master's practice, they may not be able to get back any favors later.

Waiting left and right, until dusk was approaching, the main courtyard was still silent despite the many formations.

Zhang Shan frowned and stepped forward to the side of the ten leaders.

"We can't wait like this. We can wait a day or two. It's too long and it's not good for you or me."

Zhang Shan reminded them that he would not stay in Guanhu County for a long time. When the time was up, he would return to Zhenyuan Temple regardless of whether the skinning and heart-breaking incident had any results, and it would only be them at Lifu Hall who would suffer a big loss.

The ten leaders frowned and felt unhappy, but they knew that Zhang Shan was telling the truth.

They couldn't handle it, so they finally let Zhenyuan Guan do it, and Lifu Hall would suffer huge losses.

Demonic cultivators are not a big problem, but someone working with the demonic cultivators in Lifu Hall is a big problem!

"Forget it, I'll do it. The hall will blame you later, so you have to share the burden with me." The leader, Qin Niu, looked left and right, then stood up.

Among the ten leaders, he is the only one who has practiced the pupil technique. His eyes are extremely sharp and can see the hairs of each other. He can see what is happening in the main courtyard more clearly without touching the formation.

Lao Qi and the other nine leaders agreed wholeheartedly.

"Old Qin, it's up to you."

"Don't worry, the hall master will take the blame, and we will shoulder the blame together with you."

…

Be honest and sincere in your words.

Qin Niu rolled his eyes. He didn't believe it no matter what he heard, but he still used his inner strength, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the main courtyard. His eyes were so wide that he almost rolled his eyes before he stopped.

"Something happened!"

Qin Niu rolled his eyes. He didn't believe it no matter what he heard, but he still used his inner strength, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the main courtyard. His eyes were so wide that he almost rolled his eyes before he stopped.

"Something happened!"

Qin Niu covered his eyes and said: "The spiritual energy in the main courtyard did not flow into the house at all. Instead, spiritual energy continuously overflowed from the house and was absorbed by the warning array to maintain its operation. The flow trajectory of the spiritual energy was very smooth, with no trace of interference!

"

Everyone present immediately knew that something was wrong.

As long as the people in the house are practicing in retreat, the flow of spiritual energy will inevitably be attracted away, and no spiritual energy will overflow from them.

Even if the person in the house is practicing with spiritual stones and spiritual energy overflows, it will definitely not be a very smooth trajectory.

The remaining nine leaders looked at each other. In this case, the hall leader was afraid that something had happened.

They all looked down, no longer hesitated, and forced their way into the courtyard.

Zhang Shan did not go in and stood outside the courtyard watching the nine leaders break the formation.

When they entered it, they triggered the warning formation and activated other formations. Spikes protruded from the ground, dozens of wind blades struck, and golden light shone down, imprisoning their bodies.

The power was so terrifying that even the bosses such as Lao Qi changed their colors.

This formation was arranged by the hall master. Although they knew it, they did not know the details. After all, it was arranged by the hall master to protect himself. It was impossible for Lao Qi and others to know the details.

Zhang Shan just felt the power of the formation in the main courtyard outside and knew that he would never be able to pass this formation.

It can also pose a fatal threat to warriors like Lao Qi who are at the fifth or sixth level.

But at this moment, nine people are working together to break the formation, and this formation cannot stop them for long.

Less than half a stick of incense was left, and the outside of the main courtyard was in a mess, with broken bricks and tiles lying on the ground, the walls collapsed, the formation nodes arranged inside were shattered, and the formation materials were cracked.

Only then did Zhang Shan and Zhao Xun step into the courtyard.

In order to break the formation, Lao Qi and others also paid a price. More than half of their internal strength was consumed, they were in a state of embarrassment and suffered some minor injuries.

Including Qin Niu, in order to find the formation nodes, he used the pupil technique again. At this moment, his eyes were stinging and bloodshot, and he had to close his eyes tightly to relieve the pain in his eyes.

After breaking the formation, everyone pushed open the door and entered the clean room without caring about adjusting their breath.

A withered white skeleton comes into view!

"This is!"

"These scraps of clothing!"

The ten leaders were horrified. A white skeleton was not enough to scare them, but the clothes on the bones were clearly the clothes of their hall master.

Terrible thoughts appeared in their minds.

Zhang Shan looked carefully and saw that the bones were covered with sparse clothing, and only some rotten flesh could be seen here and there.

"Don't get too close, spread out!"

"Save space and don't destroy the scene!" Zhang Shan saw the ten leaders trying to get close to the corpse and quickly stopped them.

What was originally a good plan turned out to be unexpected, which made Zhang Shan upset, but he knew what he should do most at this moment.

Find out the identity of this skeleton!

just in case……

Zhang Shan's shouting made several leaders unhappy. This is Lifu Hall, and they are the heads of the hall! They should be the ones who make the decision here! Not the disciples of Zhen Yuan Guan!

However, Zhang Shan had no intention of giving in. He looked at several leaders, their eyes collided, and they refused to give in.

In the end, Qin Niu and Lao Qi finally recovered, and the confrontation between the two sides was temporarily resolved.

After the discussion, Zhang Shan inspected the bones while ten of their leaders watched.
