Tianshi Mansion, Dragon and Tiger Hall.
The Great Heavenly Master Zhang Huan sat high in the hall, and on both sides of the hall stood five chief priests, namely: Wang Zhonghu, Huang Zhongwu, Zhao Zhongxin, Ding Zhongyuan, and Peng Zhongkai.
But at this moment, whether it was the Grand Heavenly Master Zhang Huan or the seven chief priests, their expressions were extremely ugly.
Because on a bill in the middle of the hall, there were six heads wrapped in red silk quietly placed. They were the heads of Lin Zhongtian and others.
"My fellow priests, do you know who did this?" Zhang Huan asked in a deep voice.
The five priests exchanged glances, and finally Wang Zhonghu stepped forward and said, "Grand Celestial Master, this matter is truly difficult to surmise. Priest Lin was ordered to capture Liu Zhiyan, but Liu Zhiyan is only a True Immortal. There's no way he could have killed Priest Lin and his seven True Immortal disciples and quietly dumped their heads in front of the gate of our Celestial Master's Mansion."
Zhao Zhongxin also nodded and said, "What Wang Jijiu said makes sense, but we cannot rule out another possibility."
"What's possible?" Zhang Huan immediately asked Zhao Zhongxin.
Zhao Zhongxin asked, "Could it be that a cultivator from the Canglan Sea entered our Dongzhou territory? Lin Jijiu and his companions happened to encounter him, and a conflict ensued. The other party was too powerful, killing Lin Jijiu and his companions, and then dumping their heads outside the gate of our Tianshi Mansion as a demonstration?"
"It's possible!" Ding Zhongyuan said, "It's very likely. The Canglan Sea is extremely treacherous. Over the past few decades, the power of our Tianshi Mansion has been continuously entering the Canglan Sea. At the beginning, it was very smooth, but later, our people in the Canglan Sea gradually became difficult to move forward.
It's obvious that someone in the Canglan Sea is opposing our Tianshi Mansion."
Hearing this, several chief priests nodded in agreement, and Zhang Huan's face was even more gloomy. Although the Tianshi Mansion controlled the two major continents of Dongzhou and Xizhou, it really had no way to deal with the Canglan Sea.
Although the powerful immortal cultivators in the Canglan Sea have long left the Haolan Realm, the foundation is still there. The power of the cultivators in the Canglan Sea is still very strong. It is said that there is still a Golden Immortal in the Canglan Sea, but the Tianshi Mansion has been unable to confirm it.
"Oh no!" Huang Zhongwu suddenly said, "Master Yuan Zhongying is currently in Canglan Sea trying to capture Liu Zhiyi and the others. Isn't he in danger too?"
Upon hearing Huang Zhongwu's words, Zhang Huan and the other chief priests' expressions changed. Zhang Huan, in particular, immediately said to Wang Zhonghu, "Chief priest Wang, please send a letter to Chief priest Yuan immediately, ordering him to return quickly."
"I obey the imperial decree." Wang Zhonghu immediately bowed in response.
Now that Lin Zhongtian is dead, Zhang Huan doesn't want to involve Yuan Zhongying as well. These people are the forces he relies on. Without them, he alone cannot suppress the three auxiliary heavenly masters.
Moreover, as long as he was in the main temple of the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Huan was not afraid of anyone, because he had the top-grade Golden Immortal magic weapon, the Golden Mace of Killing Laws, given by Zhang Tianshi. He could easily repel any Golden Immortal cultivator, let alone defeat him.
Just as Wang Zhonghu passed the letter to Yuan Zhongying, a disciple suddenly walked in from outside the hall and said, "Grand Heavenly Master, the old lady and the mistress have arrived."
When Zhang Huan heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat. The old lady was his mother Liu Yu, and the lady was his wife Qiu Yang.
Soon Zhang Huan came to the outside of the hall in person, and together with a woman in Taoist robes, who had a graceful and charming figure and unparalleled charm, they supported Liu Yu on both sides and walked into the hall.
Liu Yu was supported by her son and daughter-in-law on either side, with a happy smile on her face. But when her eyes fell on the heads on the table, the smile disappeared.
"Who did it?" Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Zhang Huan and asked.
Zhang Huan shook his head and said, "Mother, I have no clue yet, but I have initially concluded that it might be the work of a cultivator from the Canglan Sea."
"Canglanhai..." Liu Yu frowned when he heard this. This was indeed a tricky matter, because the Tianshi Mansion was still in the recovery stage and did not have the strength to turn against Canglanhai.
Qiu Yang, who was standing aside, looked at the heads of Lin Zhongtian and the others with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but said nothing.
At this moment, the patrol officer Zhang Ruyou came to the Dragon and Tiger Hall again to ask for an audience. When Zhang Huan heard Zhang Ruyou's request, his face turned pale.
His expression changed slightly. Could something have happened again?
Zhang Huan summoned Zhang Ruyou into the main hall and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ruyou saw Liu Yu and Qiu Yang also present and immediately bowed to them one by one before reporting to Zhang Huan, "Your Highness, someone has arrived from the Divine Monarch's Palace. It's a Divine General and over a thousand Divine Soldiers. They say they've been ordered to see the Great Divine Master."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was suddenly surprised. Divine Sovereign Palace? What would the gods of Divine Sovereign Palace do at this time?
But Zhang Huan was feeling a bit irritated at the moment, so he waved his hand and said, "Tell them I'm busy and can't get away. Take them to the waiting room to rest for a while. I'll see them when I'm free."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruyou said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Grand Master, this visitor is different from the previous ones..."
"Oh?" Zhang Huan asked curiously, "What's the difference?"
Zhang Ruyou said, "Their attire is different. It is very different from that of the previous divine generals and divine soldiers."
Zhang Huan laughed out loud when he heard this. Even Liu Yu and several of the chief priests shook their heads. Just because they were dressed differently, did that mean they weren't divine generals or divine soldiers of the Divine Mansion? Did they deserve special treatment from the Tianshi Mansion just because they were dressed differently? It was a joke.
"Do as I say, go ahead." Zhang Huan waved his hand and said.
Zhang Ruyou wanted to say more, but seeing Zhang Huan's expression, he lost his thoughts. Just as Zhang Ruyou was about to obey, a voice suddenly echoed throughout the Tianshi Mansion's main hall: "Zhang Huan, come out to see me immediately!"
