Meng Zan frowned slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, I'll go out and take a look."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt his arm being tightly grasped by a soft little hand.
When he looked down, he found that it was Lu Xiaoya who had grabbed his arm at some point.
At this time, Lu Xiaoya's cheeks were flushed and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"I'll go with you. I'm really worried about you going alone."
Meng Zan showed an honest smile, "Okay, let's go."
After saying that, the two of them strode towards the gate of the mansion together...
Before the two of them reached the door, they saw from afar a group of people in black and red robes standing there upright.
What surprised the two was that there was a coffin placed in the middle of the group of people!
The coffin had its lid tightly closed and was carried steadily on the shoulders of four strong men.
Seeing this scene, Meng Zan couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk forward.
"Fourth Elder, you are here."
Meng Zan smiled and nodded, his eyes then fell on the Grand Elder of the Tiansha Holy Palace who had been here a few days ago, with a puzzled look on his face.
"I wonder why the Great Elder came to my humble abode in person this time, carrying such a coffin?"
"Um...you are?"
Meng Zan clasped his fists in greeting and introduced himself, "I am the fourth elder of the Lu Mansion."
"Fourth Elder?"
The Great Elder went to investigate him and found that he was actually a Seven-Star Leveler in the Sky Realm.
[Why is this fourth elder even stronger than the third elder? This Lu Mansion truly leaves me perplexed.]
Thinking of this, he clasped his fists and returned the greeting to Meng Zan, "To be honest, the one lying in this coffin is our Palace Master."
When Lu Xiaoya, who was standing aside, heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched and she complained in her heart.
[Who are these people? How could someone sleep in a coffin?]
[I really don't know what this person's quirk is, he's simply a weirdo! ]
Suddenly, without any warning, the coffin made a creepy creaking sound.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light gushed out, instantly enveloping the entire coffin.
At the same time, a strong and pungent smell of blood quickly spread and filled the surroundings.
When the people in Tiansha Holy Palace saw this scene, they all lowered their heads and knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to even breathe.
Meng Zan, standing at the gate of Lu Mansion, had a look of vigilance on his face.
He frowned and took a step forward without hesitation, protecting Lu Xiaoya tightly behind him.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the lid of the coffin was suddenly opened and fell heavily to the ground.
Amidst the dense smoke and dust, a figure slowly stood up from the coffin.
This person's face was as white as jade, and his features were as delicate as a woman's, but his eyes revealed a hint of coldness and cruelty.
The aura emanating from his body was extremely powerful, like an insurmountable mountain, making it hard to breathe.
The man turned his head slightly and looked Meng Zan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
A moment later, an invisible and powerful spiritual force suddenly erupted and rushed towards Meng Zan, scanning him carefully from head to toe.
Then, the man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Seven Stars in the Sky Realm, well, the strength is not bad."
"Judging from your appearance, you should be an elder of the Lu Mansion, right?"
Meng Zan was shocked. He never expected that the Palace Master of Tiansha Holy Palace would actually come in person!
However, he quickly calmed down, trying to hide the surprise that flashed across his eyes, and replied expressionlessly, "Yes, I am the fourth elder of the Lu Mansion.
I wonder why the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Palace has come here today?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across the face of the Palace Master of Tiansha Holy Palace.
Obviously, the palace master was quite dissatisfied that Meng Zan did not invite him into the house immediately, but chose to talk to him at the door.
"Yesterday, I specially invited your family head to my palace for a small gathering to discuss important matters."
"However, to my regret, he did not show up as promised."
"Therefore, I have taken the trouble to come to him personally today, just to find out if he is free to meet with me right now."
"I'm really sorry, our master is out on business and is not here at the moment."
Upon hearing this, the Palace Master frowned slightly, her eyes sharp as a sword, and she asked again, "Since the Patriarch is not here, are the First and Second Elders of your house here?"
"I can also discuss relevant matters with them."
Meng Zan shook his head slightly and answered truthfully, "It's really unfortunate. The First and Second Elders left for Bingzhou to handle matters two days ago and have not returned yet."
The palace master's brows were tightly knitted together, and his face was full of suspicion.
He stared at Meng Zan, who looked calm and composed, and said coldly, "How could this be such a coincidence?"
"Could it be that they are all avoiding me on purpose?"
Before he finished speaking, a scarlet light suddenly flashed in the palace master's eyes, and an extremely strong bloody smell instantly gushed out and hit Meng Zan's chest.
