How Tragic

However, Liu Zhenzhen's youngest disciple died.

They don't even know why.

And it was almost covered up.

If the cover-up succeeds, no one will ever know that her demise was not an accident, nor who did it.

Su Zhan then began to seriously study the incomplete Great Formation that City Lord Guo had given him.

With focused repairs, the work was completed quickly.

Su Zhan also recognized what kind of formation this was. It was similar to a formation that increased lifespan, but there were still significant differences.

Su Zhan had never actually seen it before, but that didn't stop him from drawing inferences and being able to see the clues.

This should be a Great Formation for Lifespan Exchange. Such formations are actually very rare, and Su Zhan had only heard of them before.

This formation is composed of key elements of Exchange Array, Lifespan-Increasing Array, and other gentle auxiliary formations. It is quite unique, and even though it is incomplete, Su Zhan has gained a great deal from it.

Although it was just a guess about the purpose of the formation, Su Zhan was confident that he was not mistaken; it was indeed Great Formation for exchanging lifespan.

Is City Lord Guo nearing the end of his life?

Su Zhan muttered to himself.

This is certainly not something that can be determined by sight alone.

Unless the other person is completely exhausted, it's impossible to tell.

Su Zhan looked at the completed formation and began to tamper with it.

Naturally, he wouldn't tamper with things in easily noticeable places, but rather in very hidden places that wouldn't affect the operation of the Great Formation. And these alterations were extremely crucial. Su Zhan smiled coldly, got up, and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

City Lord Guo actually knew that Su Zhan would come to the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly, so he immediately sent someone to invite Su Zhan in.

"Fellow Daoist Su, did you encounter any difficulties while repairing the Great Formation and need to consult with someone?"

City Lord Guo guessed.

Su Zhan smiled.

"I did encounter some difficult problems, but I solved them all."

"After all, City Lord Guo trusts me, how could I trouble you?"

City Lord Guo was shocked upon hearing this.

"Is it already fixed?"

"So fast?"

It's no wonder that City Lord Guo was surprised. She wasn't completely ignorant about the Formation Dao, so she naturally knew how difficult it was. The Great Elder of Cishu Sect was also temporarily at a loss, constantly saying that more time was needed, which ultimately led her to give up on the Grand Elder.

She had high hopes for Su Zhan, but she never expected that he could complete the repair of the Great Formation so quickly; it was simply unbelievable.

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Su Zhan took it out directly.

Upon seeing this, the other party was overjoyed. The more they looked, the more certain they became that it had indeed been repaired. City Lord Guo instantly realized that Su Zhan was a treasure; such a talent could not be found anywhere else.

Besides, Su Zhan is currently a Rogue Cultivator, all alone and helpless. If she were to join the City Lord's Mansion, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. As for Guo Ling'er's demise, it actually had nothing to do with Su Zhan. She didn't do it, so why blame Su Zhan?

At this moment, her previous thoughts were no longer important. The most important thing was that Su Zhan was very valuable. Not only could he help her repair the Great Formation, but he could also help her set up a formation that she would find difficult to complete even if she had the formation in hand.

Furthermore, keeping Su Zhan alive will be very useful in the future. Wouldn't it be a great pity to get rid of him?

Absolutely not.

Thinking of this, City Lord Guo spoke to Su Zhan in an even more amiable tone.

I never expected that the other party would treat me so politely.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I need this formation, and I hope you can help me set it up."
