From the beginning until now, Li Shan had been warm and courteous.
It was as if he sincerely wanted to apologize to Xiao Chen and the others. However, Xiao Chen knew that the guy in front of him was not as simple as he seemed.
Moreover, with Li Shan's status, if he was only here to apologize for what had happened before, there was no need for him to go to such an extent.
He was too humble. Therefore, Xiao Chen was certain that this guy had ulterior motives.
He was a very smart person. If he had done so much, he must have other motives. Xiao Chen was also very curious about this. He wanted to know what Li Shan was up to.
Li Shan was slightly taken aback. He casually waved his hand. When the two Deputy Hall Masters saw this, they also took the initiative to leave the main hall.
When only Xiao Chen and the others were left in the main hall, Li Shan spoke slowly.
"Senior Xiao Chen, please forgive me. I did not mean to hide it, but this is a serious matter. I have to be careful."
"Heh, what are you saying? Are you planning to force me to wait?"
"Of course not. I do have something to ask of you, but I don't dare to force you. If you don't want to, then I won't say anything."
Li Shan naturally could not force Xiao Chen and the others because he did not have the right to do so.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shan did not wait for Xiao Chen to reply.
"I don't know how much you know about the Heaven Fiend Hall. This time, I hope that you can help me …"
He did not say what the matter was, but it was definitely related to the Heaven Fiend Hall. However, Li Shan's meaning was very clear.
Li Shan would only continue to speak if Xiao Chen and the others agreed to help. If Xiao Chen and the others refused, then it would be as if nothing had happened today, and Li Shan would not say anything more.
Lin Yun looked at Li Shan calmly. This time, it was Lin Yun who smiled.
"Since you want to cooperate, shouldn't Hall Master Li show some sincerity?"
Sincerity? Hearing this, Li Shan frowned slightly, but he still pretended to be calm.
"I've already shown my sincerity from the beginning. May I know what Senior Lin Yun means by this?"
Li Shan thought that he had performed very well from the beginning, but now, Lin Yun still felt that he was not sincere.
This inevitably made Li Shan a little unhappy, but in the next second, as Lin Yun's voice spread, Li Shan's expression instantly changed.
"Oh, you even want to hide your true cultivation? Is this the sincerity that Hall Master Li spoke of?"
What?
Upon hearing this, Li Shan's expression changed drastically. As the Hall Master of the City Protector Hall, he had the cultivation of an ancient living creature in the Complete Ancient Era.
But now, Lin Yun pointed it out with a single sentence. This made Li Shan extremely shocked.
That's right. Although everyone thought that Li Shan's cultivation was only at the level of an ancient living creature, no one knew that Li Shan had already broken through to the Holy Ancestor Realm more than ten years ago.
Moreover, because of an opportunity in his early years, Li Shan had a secret treasure in his hands. This treasure only had one function, and that was to hide one's cultivation.
Even a Holy Ancestor Realm expert would not be able to see through it. This was why even the experts in the Heaven Fiend Hall did not know that Li Shan had broken through to the Holy Ancestor Realm.
But now, Lin Yun had seen through it, which made Li Shan extremely shocked.
In fact, from the beginning, Li Shan had secretly sensed the cultivation of Xiao Chen and the others.
Lin Yuan, Long Qing, Monk, Taoist, and Lin Hu were indeed ancient living creatures. Li Shan could clearly sense that.
But for Xiao Chen and Lin Yun, to be honest, Li Shan had exhausted all means but could not see through their cultivation.
It was like a vast ocean. One simply did not know how vast it was.
This was also the reason why Li Shan was so respectful to Xiao Chen and Lin Yun. Because he could not see through them, he became more and more fearful.
He already had some guesses in his heart. In addition, Lin Yun had seen through his concealment at a glance. For a moment, Li Shan guessed in disbelief.
Could it be that these two people were not Holy Ancestor Realm experts but King of the War Ancestor Realm?
That was impossible. King of the War Ancestor Realm was a legendary existence in the Scattered Star Ocean.
Even in the other four major regions, they were existences that only existed in the imperial palace.
As strong as the Heaven Fiend Hall was, Li Shan did not know of any King of the War Ancestor Realm.
It was rumored that there was a War Ancestor Realm ancestor overseeing it. However, Li Shan had joined the Heaven Fiend Hall for so long and had never seen one. Therefore, he naturally treated it as just a rumor.
Sensing that Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were most likely King of the War Ancestor Realm, even Li Shan found it difficult to remain calm.
Although the Holy Ancestor Realm and the War Ancestor Realm were only one realm apart, the gap between them was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The difference between the two could be said to be like heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all.
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Chen and Lin Yun did not disturb him. They drank their wine and waited for Li Shan's next answer.
Finally, after about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Li Shan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. It was as if he had thought it through and made a desperate decision.
He bowed to Xiao Chen and Lin Yun.
"Seniors, please forgive me. I did not hide anything. It's just that this matter is of great importance. Yes, I did hide my cultivation."
As he spoke, Li Shan's body gradually emitted a faint aura of the Holy Ancestor Realm. Although the aura was very weak, only Xiao Chen and the others could feel it.
However, this already showed Li Shan's true cultivation.
In response, Xiao Chen and Lin Yun both smiled slightly.
As a Branch Hall Master of the Heaven Fiend Hall, Li Shan actually had to hide his cultivation. This was interesting.
Logically speaking, as a member of the Heaven Fiend Hall, Li Shan breaking through to the Holy Ancestor Realm was definitely a good thing for him.
At least with such a cultivation, it was definitely enough for Li Shan to enter the upper echelons of the Heaven Fiend Hall and truly enter the core of power.
However, Li Shan would rather hide his cultivation than let others know. There must be a secret behind this.
Looking at Li Shan with interest, Lin Yun said unhurriedly.
"It seems that your request is not small. Is it related to the Heaven Fiend Hall?"
In one sentence, Lin Yun said what Li Shan was thinking. He had spent so much effort to hide his cultivation. It must be related to the Heaven Fiend Hall. Otherwise, why wouldn't he do it?
Since the conversation had already reached this point, Li Shan did not hide it anymore. He nodded and said bluntly.
"It is indeed related to the Heaven Fiend Hall. This is also something that I want to ask the two seniors for. I hope that the two seniors can help. After this, there will be a great reward."
There was no need to hide it any longer, so it was better to just say it directly.
