Chapter 292: Take Zhang Lingshan!

Zhang family meeting hall.

Dozens of elders gathered together.

Sitting at the top was a white-haired old man with a sturdy figure and messy beard, looking like a crouching lion, majestic and awe-inspiring.

On the left and right sides, several supreme elders sat side by side, among them were 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 color.

They rushed here in a hurry, not knowing what had happened. They only knew that the family head Zhang Zhong was calling them.

Unexpectedly, the first thing the head of the family said was a shocking and explosive news.

As everyone knows, Zhang Xianbai is the fifth best master in the Zhang family besides their ancestor Zhang Chengen.

He actually died.

Who has the guts to kill our Zhang family!
Moreover, who has the ability to kill Zhang Xianbai?
And there is Zhang Xiujie, who is one of the most outstanding talents among the young people in their Zhang family and one of the candidates for the next head of the family.

He's dead too?
Who did it!

"Uncle Feng, please tell everyone about it." Zhang Zhongzheng said.

"Yes."

Zhang Xianfeng stood up and described in detail the incident of Zhang Xianbai's sneak attack on Zhang Lingshan.

As for Zhang Xiujie's death, it is not mentioned here.

Anyway, there is no evidence, and as long as Zhang Lingshan does not admit it, no one will know that Zhang Xiujie was killed by him.

"Zhang Xianbai has really gone insane, he actually dared to rush into the Power Transmission Tower to kill people. He is so arrogant and domineering that he thinks that the Demon Suppression Division is also spoiled by our Zhang family."

An elder sneered.

He and Zhang Xianbai had a grudge against each other, but because of his own lack of strength, he had always been suppressed by others, which made him very aggrieved and he had no place to vent his grievances.

Now that he knew Zhang Xianbai was dead, he immediately felt gloating. If there hadn't been so many people present, he would have laughed out loud and eaten a lot of meat and drank to celebrate.

"It was wrong for Uncle Bai to break into the power transmission tower, but he has been injured by Li Bufan and has learned his lesson. That Zhang Lingshan, who ambushed and killed Uncle Bai, is a crime of fratricide. This crime is unforgivable and must be killed to serve as a warning to others!"

Another elder said.

"otherwise."

Another elder said, "If we talk about the crime of killing one's own family, it was Zhang Xianbai who attacked first. If it weren't for Zhang Lingshan's inheritance from Jile Mountain and his expertise in the art of life and death, he would have died. So even if we talk about the crime, it is Zhang Xianbai who is guilty and deserves to die. Zhang Lingshan killed him according to the family law, so he is not guilty and has done a good deed."

"Bullshit! Grandpa Bai is such a powerful person. Even if the family rules are enforced, it won't be the turn of that piece of shit Zhang Lingshan. Zhang Lingshan is guilty of committing treason, so he should be executed!"

"Zhang Xianbai is bullying the weak. He has no shame."

"Uncle Bai is already dead. The dead are the greatest. How dare you insult him again?"

"I just talk about the facts and never insult anyone. If you don't want to be insulted, don't do anything embarrassing."

"Shut up! Grand Elder Zhang Xiujie and Grand Elder Zhang Xianbai are both pillars of our Zhang family. Their death is a great tragedy. You are actually gloating over their misfortune. What are you thinking? I think you just hope that bad things will happen to the Zhang family. You must be a traitor from outside the family and you should be killed!"

"You're crazy. What foreign traitor? You're biting like a mad dog, accusing people of crimes everywhere, hoping that the world will not be in chaos. I think you are the traitor!"

"Everyone, please calm down and don't argue. Zhang Xianbai is guilty of attacking his family, but he is already dead, so no matter how serious his crime is, it will not be mentioned. After all, Zhang Lingshan is not dead either. I suggest that we bring Zhang Lingshan here first."

"So good."

"This matter all started with this guy named Zhang Lingshan. We should bring him here so that I can see what kind of person he is to have the guts to kill Zhang Xianbai."

"You must bring him here. I want to ask him who gave him the courage to kill Uncle Bai!"

"..."

Everyone was talking in a chaotic manner, but there was order in the chaos, and they did agree on a common plan.

"Granduncle Feng, since everyone wants to see Zhang Lingshan, then bring Zhang Lingshan here."

Zhang Zhongzheng made the final decision.

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 and blocked Zhang Xianfeng and Zhang Lingshan. He stared at Zhang Lingshan with eyes like copper bells and shouted: "You are the one who killed my Uncle Bai?"

boom!
A huge flame suddenly burst out.

Zhang Lingshan's figure suddenly grew larger, his fur grew longer, and he emitted a golden glow. He looked down at the thick-browed man and shouted, "I killed him. What do you think of him?"

pedal!
The thick-browed man didn't expect that the other party would explode at the touch of a button, and his momentum was so powerful that he was caught off guard. He took a step back for a moment, feeling ashamed and angry at once. He pinched the air with his right hand, making a sound of air explosion, and smashed towards Zhang Lingshan fiercely.

"stop!"

Zhang Xianfeng's face suddenly changed. He swung his sleeves violently, and pushed the thick-browed man back a step. He shouted, "You want to kill my Zhang family's peerless genius in public? I think you and Zhang Xianbai are both crazy!"

The thick-browed man looked unhappy: "He has no respect for his elders and dared to attack me."

"Did Zhang Lingshan attack you? He just burst out with blood and fire, proving that he is the bloodline of our Zhang family. You were the one who got frightened, and you blame him, a junior. How ridiculous!"

A middle-aged elder said sarcastically, and nodded to Zhang Lingshan at the same time, showing a friendly look, and said: "Zhang Lingshan, my name is Zhang Lingsong. We are both from the Ling generation. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Song."

The man looked middle-aged, but he was probably in his sixties.

However, being able to become an elder in the Tongmai realm at this age means he is considered a top talent in the Zhang family. It is not impossible for him to go further and replace Zhang Xianbai's status in the future.

"Brother Song."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands.

If someone offers you kindness, you’d be a fool not to follow up.

This saves himself and Zhang Xianfeng from fighting alone.

"Hey."

Zhang Lingsong said with a smile: "Brother Shan, I will treat you to a drink after you enter the ancestral temple and add the family tree to the family tree."

After that, he changed the subject and reminded, "Why don't you go to see the head of the family?"

Zhang Lingshan immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Uncle Patriarch."

Zhang Zhongzheng is from the Zhong generation.

He is of the same generation as his father Zhang Zhongcheng, but he is much older, so it is reasonable to call him uncle.

Zhang Zhongzheng said: "I heard from Uncle Feng that you are a descendant of Zhang Quyi's ancestor. Do you have any proof?"

Zhang Lingshan handed over the family tree and said, "This is the family tree of our lineage. Uncle Patriarch, please take a look."

Zhang Zhongzheng took the family tree, flipped through it briefly, and then handed it to the Grand Elder beside him, saying, "Everyone, take a look."

Everyone passed it around.

One of them suddenly said, "Anyone can write this genealogy, but it cannot prove that he is the descendant of Zhang Quyi's ancestor. Even if this genealogy is true, maybe he killed Zhang Quyi's descendants, took his genealogy, and took over his body, which is how he condensed his blood and fire. Therefore, we must test his heart!"

"good."

Someone immediately echoed.

The thick-browed man who had previously put pressure on Zhang Lingshan also shouted, "We must test his heart. This man killed Uncle Bai and Zhang Xiujie. He was vicious and ruthless. I suspect someone helped him take over the body of Zhang Quyi's descendant in order to enter our Zhang family. His heart is worth killing, but we must not let him off!"

"It is time to test his heart."

Another person said.

He had no ill intentions, but was just considering safety. He said, "After all, he is a genius. As long as his heart passes the test, he can be trained with confidence. Although he killed Zhang Xianbai, with his talent, he will become another Zhang Xianbai in time."

"That's right. Our Zhang family has never been stingy with talents. As long as you are a genuine member of the Zhang family, you will be fully cultivated. Zhang Lingshan, what do you think?" A kind-looking 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 oldest person besides the ancestor Zhang Chengen, everyone shut up when she spoke.

Zhang Lingshan asked: "How do I ask my conscience?"

Zhang Changqin said: "There is a tablet for asking questions in front of the ancestral temple. You can ask questions by placing your hand on it."

"After the self-examination, are there any other assessments?" Zhang Lingshan asked again.

Zhang Changqin smiled and said, "As long as you pass the examination of conscience, it proves that you have been recognized by the ancestors, and there is no need for any other assessment."

"Okay! I agree to ask my conscience."

Zhang Lingshan nodded immediately.

In fact, Zhang Xianfeng told him all this on the way here. The worst outcome would be to have a clear conscience, there was no possibility of anything worse.

The Zhang family's bloodline inheritance is divided into mind, intention and body.

Qi, blood and fire make up the body.

The power of Zhang Xiujie's thoughts and consciousness before was intention.

Today's monument to the conscience is the heart.

Logically speaking, the Monument of Conscience concerns the inheritance of the "heart", and ordinary people are not qualified to touch it. It is a great thing that Zhang Lingshan has the opportunity to consult his conscience.

But it's not that simple.

Because this tablet of conscience is a treasure left by our ancestors, it is extremely mysterious and dangerous.

Ordinary people are not qualified to touch it, not because they are worried that he will damage the Monument of Integrity, but because they are worried that he will be affected by the Monument of Integrity, causing him to lose his mind and become an idiot.

Over the years, countless people in the Zhang family refused to believe in evil and insisted on touching the Monument of Integrity, only to suffer terrible consequences.

Even if you are lucky enough not to become an idiot, your ambition will be taken away, and you will go from being a genius to being just an ordinary person.

Because of this, the Monument of Integrity was sealed as a forbidden object, and no one was allowed to touch it without the permission of the family elders' council.

Even Zhang Xiujie, the extraordinary genius who inherited the power of mind, was stopped.

According to Zhang Xianbai, Zhang Xiujie is not ready yet, and he will be allowed to give it a try only after he breaks through to the Tongmai realm.

However, Zhang Lingshan is only in the middle stage of the awakening realm now.

Asking him to test the Heart Monument is really asking too much.

But no one thought there was anything wrong.

Because, if Zhang Lingshan is really a peerless genius as Zhang Xianfeng said, Zhang Xiujie is no match for him.

Well, isn't it reasonable that he, who is so outstanding, came into contact with the Monument of Integrity earlier than Zhang Xiujie?

Furthermore, Zhang Lingshan’s identity is indeed a mystery.

How could a member of the Zhang family, who had drifted to a poor little state like Yuzhou, be better than the people from their own family in Zhongzhou?

This is unreasonable!
Since it is unreasonable, we should not use common sense to demand him to do so.

He was able to survive in Zhang Xianbai's hands and took the opportunity to kill Zhang Xianbai, which shows his extraordinary abilities.

In addition, he stayed on the ninth floor of the Power Transmission Tower for more than a month, breaking through directly from the Five Internal Organs Realm to the middle stage of the Awakening Realm.

He is so outrageous, so it is normal for him to be even more outrageous.

Among the elders, some wanted to see Zhang Lingshan suffer, such as the thick-browed man and others, who wanted Zhang Lingshan to be turned into an idiot by the Monument of Integrity 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 about Zhang Chengen’s situation, but the two of them, as the strongest people under Zhang Chengen, know it clearly.

Our ancestor Zhang Chengen is nearing the end of his life. No matter how hard he tries to cultivate himself, he only has less than a hundred years left.

So, within this hundred years, they must find the next genius who can rival the ancestor Zhang Chengen.

And the ancestor Zhang Chengen is precisely the only genius in the Zhang family who has awakened the inheritance of the heart in all these years.

In other words, if one wants to be comparable to the ancestor Zhang Chengen, then this person must awaken the inheritance of the heart!
At the beginning, Zhang Zhongzheng and Zhang Changqin placed their hopes on Zhang Xiujie, believing that he was the most likely to awaken the inheritance of the heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiujie died.

Then Zhang Lingshan, the culprit who killed Zhang Xiujie, should 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 was very interested in this so-called inheritance of the heart.

So, he was going to give it a try.

If you are lucky, you can truly awaken the inheritance of the heart, your strength will increase greatly, and you will avoid many detours.

If he is unlucky, he still has 200 billion energy reserves on his panel, so nothing he says can kill him.

Zhang Xianbai took advantage of his breakthrough to launch a sneak attack but failed to kill him. Moreover, he did not even need energy points to prolong his life at that time. He only used the Wheel of Life and Death to survive.

Now, facing a mere dead object, can you still let it take away your mind?

Da da da.

In front of the ancestral temple, the elders walked over step by step and bowed to it first.

Then, Zhang Zhongzheng held a formation flag and sent it to the ground with a whoosh.

Wow.

Layers of invisible waves emerged.

Suddenly, a stone tablet as tall as a person appeared inexplicably in front of him.

Zhang Lingshan was surprised.

This place is clearly a smooth road. If Zhang Zhongzheng hadn't activated the formation flag, it would have been no problem for them to just walk over there without touching anything.

But now, a stone tablet suddenly appeared.

“Is this another space?”

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Zhongzheng said: "Yes. This is a mezzanine space, it's just that small. After you enter, everything in the outside world is 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: "If I don't check my conscience, can I leave the Zhang family alive?"

Zhang Zhongzheng was silent for a moment.

Without waiting for his answer, Zhang Lingshan strode in.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Zhongzheng said, once you enter, you can no longer sense anything from the outside world.

However, he focused his eyes and secretly activated his clairvoyance, and was able to see that everyone outside was staring at him.

It can be seen that people outside can see me, but I cannot see them even without the ability of clairvoyance.

What a magical place.

Zhang Lingshan was amazed, then turned around and carefully examined the monument.
