Zhang Family Council Hall.
Dozens of elders gathered together.
Sitting at the top is an old man with gray hair. He is tall and has a messy beard. He looks like a coiled lion and is majestic.
In the first place on the left and right sides, there are several Supreme Elder sitting side by side, including Zhang Xianfeng and Zhang Xianwu.
Further down are the other elders of the Zhang Family.
"Zhang Xiujie and Zhang Xianbai are dead?"
All the elders changed their colors.
They rushed here in a hurry, not knowing what happened. They only knew that the head of the family, Zhang Zhongzheng, had summoned them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the owner of the family opened his mouth, there was shocking and explosive news.
As we all know, Zhang Xianbai is the fifth-ranked master besides Zhang Family, their ancestor Zhang Chengen.
He actually died.
Who has the courage to kill us Zhang Family people!
Moreover, who has the ability to kill Zhang Xianbai?
And Zhang Xiujie, that is one of the most outstanding talents among their Zhang Family young people, and one of the candidates for the next head of the family.
Actually died too?
Who did it!
"Feng Grand Uncle, please tell everyone." Zhang Zhongzheng said.
"Yes."
Zhang Xianfeng stood up and described in detail Zhang Xianbai's sneak attack on Zhang Lingshan.
As for the death of Zhang Xiujie, we will skip it.
Anyway, there is no evidence. As long as Zhang Lingshan does not admit it, no one will know that Zhang Xiujie was killed by him.
"How dare you rush into Skill Transmission Pagoda to kill people? Zhang Xianbai is really crazy. He is used to being arrogant and domineering. He thought that Demon Suppression Division was also being spoiled by us Zhang Family."
An elder sneered.
He and Zhang Xianbai originally had a grudge, but because of his lack of strength, he was always suppressed by others. He felt very aggrieved and had nowhere to express his grudges.
Now that he learned that Zhang Xianbai was dead, he immediately began to rejoice in his misfortune. If there weren't so many people present, he would have laughed three times and eaten a large piece of meat and drank wine to celebrate.
"It was wrong for Uncle Bai to break into Skill Transmission Pagoda, but he was injured by Li Bufan and learned a lesson. So Zhang Lingshan, sneak attack and kill Uncle Bai is a crime of fratricide. It is an unforgivable crime and must be killed to serve as a warning to others!"
Another long Old Daoist.
"Otherwise."
Another chief Old Daoist said, "As for the crime of fratricide, it was Zhang Xianbai who made the sneak attack first. If Zhang Lingshan hadn't caught Paradise Mountain Inheritance, he would have been good at it. The elder Way of Life and Death is already dead. So even if we talk about guilt, Zhang Xianbai is guilty and deserves to die. Zhang Lingshan killing him is the law of the family. Not only is he not guilty, but he is also meritorious."
"Fart! Grandpa Bai has such a status, even if the family law is upheld, that kind of bullshit Zhang Lingshan. Zhang Lingshan and below will be punished!"
"Zhang Xianbai Use the big to bully the small, don't be old-fashioned."
"Uncle Bai is already dead. The deceased is the most important. Do you dare to insult me again?"
"I just discuss the matter and never insult anyone. If you don't want to be insulted, don't do anything embarrassing."
"Shut up! Zhang Xiujie and Zhang Xianbai Supreme Elder are both the pillars of our Zhang Family. Their death is a great tragedy. You are actually here to gloat about others' misfortune. What are you doing? I think you are hoping that if Zhang Family does not do well, he must be a foreign traitor and should be punished!"
"Crazy. You are a foreign traitor. You bite like a mad dog and go around trying to accuse others, just to avoid chaos in the world. I think you are the traitor!"
"Everyone, please calm down for a moment and don't argue. Zhang Xianbai is guilty of sneak attack on his family, but he is already dead. No matter how serious the crime is, he can't get rid of it. After all, Zhang Lingshan is not dead either. I suggest that you bring Zhang Lingshan first."
"So good."
"This incident all started because of this person named Zhang Lingshan. We should bring him here and let me see what kind of Three Heads and Six Arms it is that dares to kill Zhang Xianbai."
"It must be brought. I want to ask him who gave him the courage to kill Uncle Bai!"
"..."
Everyone spoke in a chaotic manner, but there was order in the chaos, and a common plan was agreed upon.
"Feng Grand Uncle, since everyone wants to see Zhang Lingshan, then bring Zhang Lingshan."
Zhang Zhongzheng has the final say.
Zhang Xianfeng nodded, immediately left the meeting hall, returned home, and brought Zhang Lingshan over.
As soon as you step into the meeting hall.
A big man with thick eyebrows suddenly stepped forward, stopped between Zhang Xianfeng and Zhang Lingshan, stared at Zhang Lingshan with eyes like Copper Bell, and shouted sternly, "You are the one who killed me Uncle Bai?"
Boom!
A majestic flame suddenly exploded.
Zhang Lingshan's figure suddenly grew larger, his fur grew, and he emitted golden light. He looked down at the thick-browed man and shouted, "I killed him, how do you treat him?"
Kick!
The thick-browed man did not expect that the opponent would explode at the first moment, and his momentum would be so majestic and powerful. He was caught off guard and took a step back. Feeling ashamed and angry, he squeezed the air with his right hand, made an explosion sound, and hit Zhang Lingshan hard.
"Stop!"
Zhang Xianfeng suddenly changed color, flicked his sleeves and robes, and knocked the thick-browed man back a step, shouting, "You are going to kill me, Zhang Family, the peerless genius in front of everyone? I think you, like Zhang Xianbai, are both insane!"
The thick-browed man looked ugly. "He is so disrespectful that he dared to attack me."
"Did Zhang Lingshan take action against you? He just burst out Qi and Blood Fire Seed to prove that he is our Zhang Family Bloodline. You are the one who was frightened, and you blame a junior, which is completely ridiculous!"
A middle-aged elder sarcastically said, while nodding to Zhang Lingshan, showing a friendly look, and said, "Zhang Lingshan, my name is Zhang Lingsong. We are all spiritual generations. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Song."
This man looked middle-aged, but he was probably in his sixties.
However, at this age, being able to become an elder of the Meridian Opening Realm is considered a top talent among the Zhang Family. It is not impossible to go one step further in the future and replace Zhang Xianbai's status.
"Brother Song."
Zhang Lingshan raised his hand.
Someone shows kindness, but if you don't follow up, you are a fool.
Save yourself and Zhang Xianfeng to fight alone.
"Hey."
Zhang Lingsong said with a smile, "Brother Shan, I will treat you to a drink after entering Ancestral Shrine's official family tree."
After saying that, he changed the topic and reminded, "Why don't you meet the uncle of the family soon?"
Zhang Lingshan immediately bowed, bowed and said, "Greetings to the uncle of the family."
Zhang Zhongzheng, is from the Zhong generation.
He is the same generation as his father Zhang Zhongcheng, but he is much older, so it is reasonable to call him uncle.
Zhang Zhongzheng said, "Tingfeng Grand Uncle said that you are a descendant of Zhang Quyi's ancestor. Do you have any proof?"
Zhang Lingshan presented the family tree and said, "This is the family tree of our lineage. Please take a look at it, uncle."
Zhang Zhongzheng took the family tree, flipped through it briefly, then handed it to Supreme Elder beside him and said, "Everyone, let's take a look."
Everyone circulated it in turn.
One person suddenly said, "Anyone can write this family tree, but it cannot prove that he is the descendant of Zhang Quyi's ancestor. Even if this family tree is true, maybe he killed Zhang Quyi's descendants, took away their family tree, Li Daitao was dead, and took their bodies, which condensed Qi and Blood Fire Seed. Therefore, his heart must be tested!"
"Not bad."
Someone immediately echoed.
The thick-browed man who had previously put pressure on Zhang Lingshan also shouted, "His heart must be tested. This person killed Uncle Bai and Zhang Xiujie with vicious thoughts and ruthless actions. I suspect that someone helped him seize the body of Zhang Quyi's descendant just to get into our Zhang Family. His heart can be punished, but it must be done!"
"It's time to test your heart."
Another person said.
He didn't have any malicious intent, but for safety reasons, he said, "After all, he is a peerless genius. As long as his heart passes the test, he can be cultivated with confidence. Although he killed Zhang Xianbai, with his talent, given time, he will be another Zhang Xianbai."
"This is exactly the reason. We Zhang Family are never stingy with talents. As long as you are a genuine Zhang Family person, you can be fully cultivated. Zhang Lingshan, what do you think?"
A kind-hearted Supreme Elder said gently.
This is an old woman named Zhang Changqin, who is twice as tall as Zhang Xianfeng and Zhang Xianbai.
As the eldest person except the ancestor Zhang Chengen, when she speaks, everyone shuts up.
Zhang Lingshan said, "How to ask your heart?"
Zhang Changqin said, "There is a Heart Questioning Stele in front of Ancestral Shrine. Put your hand on it and you can ask your heart."
"After questioning, are there any other tests?" Zhang Lingshan asked again.
Zhang Changqin smiled and said, "As long as you pass the heart inquiry, it proves that you have been approved by the ancestors. There is no other assessment."
"Okay! I agree to ask my heart."
Zhang Lingshan nodded immediately.
In fact, Zhang Xianfeng told him all this on the way here. The worst result is to ask questions, there is no worse possibility.
Zhang Family Bloodline inheritance, divided into Heart, Intent, Body.
Qi and Blood Fire Seed, is the body.
Zhang Xiujie The power of the previous thought Divine Consciousness is intention.
Now Heart Questioning Stele is the heart.
Logically speaking, Heart Questioning Stele is related to the inheritance of "heart", and no one else is qualified to touch it. Zhang Lingshan has the opportunity to ask about the heart, which is a great thing.
However, things are not that simple.
Because this Heart Questioning Stele is a treasure left by our ancestors. It is very mysterious and dangerous.
Most people are not qualified to touch it. They are not worried that they will break Heart Questioning Stele, but that they are worried that they will be affected by Heart Questioning Stele, causing them to lose their minds and become an idiot.
Over the years, countless people in the Zhang Family do not believe in evil and have insisted on touching Heart Questioning Stele, but they have been in bad luck.
Even if you are lucky enough not to become an idiot, your will has been taken away from you, and you have gone from being a genius to being invisible to everyone.
Because of this, Heart Questioning Stele has been banned. No one is allowed to touch it without Lineage Council of Elders's permission.
Even the extraordinary geniuses of Zhang Xiujie and Will Inheritance were blocked.
According to Zhang Xianbai, Zhang Xiujie is not ready yet. Only after he breaks through to the Meridian Opening Realm will he be allowed to try it.
And Zhang Lingshan is only the mid-term of the Aperture Opening Realm.
Asking him to try Heart Questioning Stele is a difficult task.
But no one thought anything was wrong.
Because, if Zhang Lingshan is really a peerless genius as Zhang Xianfeng said, Zhang Xiujie is no match for him.
So, since he is so good, doesn't it make sense for him to come into contact with Heart Questioning Stele earlier than Zhang Xiujie?
Furthermore, the identity of Zhang Lingshan is indeed a mystery.
How can a Zhang Family person living in a small and barren state like Jade Province be better than their Central Province Main Branch people?
This is unreasonable!
Since it is against common sense, then we should not use common sense to ask him.
He was able to survive in the hands of Zhang Xianbai, and he took the opportunity to kill Zhang Xianbai, which shows his extraordinary ability.
In addition, it stayed at Skill Transmission Pagoda Ninth Floor for more than a month, directly breaking through from the Five Viscera Realm to the mid-term of the Aperture Opening Realm.
If he is so outrageous, then it is normal for him to be a little more outrageous.
Among the elders, although there are some who want to see Zhang Lingshan suffer, such as the thick-browed man and others, they want Zhang Lingshan to be made an idiot by Heart Questioning Stele in order to comfort Zhang Xianbai's spirit in heaven.
But more people hope that Zhang Lingshan will succeed.
Especially Zhang Changqin and Zhang Zhongzheng.
Others may not know the situation of Zhang Chengen, but as the two of them are the strongest people under Zhang Chengen, they know it clearly.
Ancestor Zhang Chengen, his life span is about to end. No matter how much he cultivates his moral character, he only has less than a hundred years left.
Then, within this hundred years, they must find the next genius who can rival Zhang Chengen Ancestor.
And Zhang Chengen Ancestor is precisely Zhang Family, the only genius who awakened Heart Inheritance in these years.
In other words, if you want to be comparable to Zhang Chengen Ancestor, then this person must also awaken Heart Inheritance!
At first, Zhang Zhongzheng and Zhang Changqin placed their hopes on Zhang Xiujie, thinking that he was the most likely to awaken Heart Inheritance.
Who knew Zhang Xiujie was dead.
Then Zhang Lingshan, the culprit who killed Zhang Xiujie, must bear the brunt of this responsibility.
He has no choice!
In fact, Zhang Lingshan has a choice. He just needs to reject Zhang Xianfeng and not return to the Zhang Family.
But.
He is very interested in this so-called Heart Inheritance.
So, he had to give it a try.
If you are lucky and Heart Inheritance is really awakened, your strength will be greatly increased and you will avoid countless detours.
If he is unlucky, he Panel still has 200 billion energy base, and nothing can kill him.
Zhang Xianbai took advantage of his breakthrough and launched a sneak attack but failed to kill him. Moreover, he did not use Energy Points to stay alive at that time, but only used Life and Death Wheel to survive.
Now, if you are facing a mere dead thing, can you still have your will taken away by a dead thing?
Ta-ta-ta.
In front of Ancestral Shrine, the elders walked over step by step and first bowed to Ancestral Shrine.
Then, Zhang Zhongzheng held a Array Flag and sent it to the ground with a whoosh.
Wow.
Layers of invisible fluctuations arise.
I saw a Stone Stele that was as tall as a person appearing in front of me inexplicably.
Zhang Lingshan was surprised.
This place is obviously a smooth road. If Zhang Zhongzheng doesn't inspire Array Flag, it won't be a problem for them to walk directly there and they won't touch anything at all.
But now, a Stone Stele suddenly appeared.
"Is this another space?"
Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Zhongzheng said, "Yes. This is a mezzanine space, just a small size. After you enter, everything in the outside world will be isolated from you. No one can help you, you can only rely on yourself. So, do you still insist on asking questions?"
Zhang Lingshan smiled when he heard this, "I don't care about my heart, can I get out of the Zhang Family alive?"
Zhang Zhongzheng was silent for a moment.
Without waiting for his answer, Zhang Lingshan strode in.
Sure enough, as Zhang Zhongzheng said, once you enter, you will not be able to sense anything outside.
However, when he focused his eyes and secretly stimulated Heavenly Eye, he could see people outside staring at him.
It can be seen that people outside can see you, but you can't see them without using Heavenly Eye.
What a magical place.
Zhang Lingshan was amazed in his heart, then turned around and looked at this Heart Questioning Stele carefully.
