If it were not for the Seventh Hallmaster, Qian Zhan would not have wanted to deal with the Fourth Hallmaster.
Back then, the Fourth Hallmaster had not instructed him many times, but he had reprimanded and punished him many times.
In addition, the Fourth Hallmaster was antisocial and not easy to get along with. He was afraid that he would offend the Fourth Hallmaster if he said something wrong.
However, when he talked about this with his brother Qian Gui last night, Qian Gui thought that the Fourth Hallmaster could be the breakthrough.
After all, the Fourth Hallmaster was not very popular and had no friendship with Qian Zhan. Naturally, he had no friendship with the Seventh Hallmaster.
Furthermore, if there was a division of interests and power among the Hallmasters, the appearance of the Seventh Hallmaster might cause dissatisfaction with the Fourth Hallmaster.
It was because he believed Qian Gui's words that Qian Zhan came to visit the Fourth Hallmaster with hope.
It turned out that Qian Gui had some intelligence.
Qian Zhan and the Fourth Palace Master had a simple exchange of greetings, and then talked about some old stories. Qian Zhan then began to talk about old friendships, and conveniently gave out the gift.
No matter how cold the Fourth Hallmaster was, after receiving the gift and hearing a lot of words of gratitude, his face softened a lot.
As the two chatted, they naturally talked about the Seventh Hallmaster, Dao Xingyun.
At this time, the Fourth Hallmaster thought for a while and waved his hand to dismiss all the guards and maids.
Qian Zhan's four guards were also asked to leave the hall and wait outside the door.
In the entire reception hall, only the Fourth Hallmaster and Qian Zhan were left.
Moreover, the Fourth Hallmaster waved his hand and shot out a few rays of divine light to activate the defensive array of the hall, isolating it from Divine Consciousness.
Qian Zhan was inexplicably nervous when he saw the Fourth Hallmaster's behavior. His heart began to beat faster, and his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Obviously, he had realized that the Fourth Hallmaster was going to tell him some secrets, the kind that could not be heard by a third person.
This was definitely good news for him!
As expected.
What the Fourth Palace Master talked about next was about the Seventh Palace Master, which was a rather sensitive topic.
"Qian Zhan, first of all, you have to understand that Dao Xingyun is the Seventh Hallmaster who was personally appointed by the First Hallmaster.
Other than the First Hallmaster, no one can change this appointment. Don't even think about going against it. That's suicide! "
The way the Fourth Palace Master spoke and his tone was very much in line with his usual style.
Qian Zhan also understood this point and immediately gave up on the idea.
The Fourth Hall Master continued, "Although Dao Xingyun is indeed qualified to be the Seventh Hall Master of the Divine Hall with his strength and realm, Dao Xingyun is not qualified to be the Seventh Hall Master.
Moreover, he was from the same clan as the First Hall Master. The First Hall Master had taken special care of him, so it was understandable that he was given the title of Seventh Hall Master.
However, we should all be clear that the First Palace Master is not someone who would act on his emotions. "
Hearing the Fourth Hall Master's reminder, Qian Zhan's body trembled. He looked at the Fourth Hall Master in shock and asked, "Lord Hall Master, you mean … Could it be that there are some twists and secrets behind this?"
The Fourth Hallmaster glanced at him and said with an indifferent expression, "Of course there are hidden reasons. The First Hallmaster has his own considerations.
But with your current identity and status, I can't tell you too much.
Moreover, you can't say it out loud. You can only figure it out in your heart. "
Qian Zhan recalled what Qian Gui had said to him and admired his elder brother's thinking and foresight.
Therefore, he probed again, "Lord Hall Master, do you think it's possible that after the First Hall Master achieves a certain goal, he won't need the Seventh Hall Master anymore?"
The Fourth Hall Master patted his shoulder and sneered, "Qian Zhan, your brain still can't work! If the First Hall Master can achieve a certain goal, it means that the Seventh Hall Master is useful.
Since he is useful to the Temple, he will naturally continue to be the Seventh Hall Master.
You can only pray that he is useless to the Temple. Only then will the Temple give up on him. "
Qian Zhan was enlightened and finally understood the key point.
Therefore, he continued to ask, hoping that the Fourth Hall Master could give him more hints.
Unfortunately, the Fourth Hall Master indicated that he had said enough and could not reveal any more information.
No matter how Qian Zhan beat around the bush or asked directly, he could not get any more information.
After he asked too many questions, the Fourth Hall Master's patience gradually wore thin and he took the initiative to ask him to leave. He was just short of asking him to leave.
Qian Zhan could only stop while he was ahead. He hurriedly bowed to the Fourth Hall Master and left.
When he left the Fourth Hall Master's residence, he was in a good mood and his face was calm.
No matter what, he had gained a lot from this trip.
First of all, the Fourth Hall Master was willing to help and give him advice.
Although the Fourth Hall Master did not say anything, from his words and actions, it was obvious that he did not have any intention of protecting or supporting the Seventh Hall Master.
There might even be some division of power between them. The appearance of the Seventh Hall Master affected his interests.
Qian Zhan kept this in mind. After he returned to his residence, he contacted Qian Zhan to discuss the next step.
He had conquered the Fourth Hall Master.
Next, his targets were only the Fifth Hall Master and the Sixth Hall Master.
Although Ji Tianxing did not hear the conversation between Qian Zhan and the Fourth Hall Master, he observed Qian Zhan's expression and reaction and knew that Qian Zhan had gained something.
He could also guess that the Fourth Hall Master must have reminded Qian Zhan and that he was not on good terms with the Seventh Hall Master.
Therefore, he waited patiently and Qian Zhan tested the Fifth Hall Master and the Sixth Hall Master's reactions.
Another day passed.
It was still early in the morning. Qian Zhan once again prepared gifts and brought along four guards to visit the Fifth Hall Master.
It was said that the Fifth Hall Master was a very low-key person. Although he had the strength of the Middle Realm of the God Emperor, he did not have an obvious personality.
On the surface, the Fifth Hall Master was a very moderate person and was not eye-catching among the Hall Masters.
Not to mention offending people and forming cliques, he rarely expressed his opinion when the Hall Masters discussed matters. He was a dispensable existence.
Even so, Qian Zhan still had expectations for the Fifth Hall Master's attitude.
Not long after, Qian Zhan brought Ji Tianxing and the others to the Divine Palace where the Fifth Hall Master lived.
The guards guarding the gate of the Divine Palace seemed to have expected their arrival and calculated the time.
When Qian Zhan stated his purpose, the guard immediately entered the Divine Palace to report.
Not long after, the guard returned and told Qian Zhan that the Fifth Hall Master was refining a furnace of elixirs. He had been in seclusion for almost three years and could not meet guests.
Whether this was true or not, the Fifth Hall Master's attitude was that he was not willing to help Qian Zhan, nor was he willing to be enemies with the Seventh Hall Master. He was even more unwilling to go against the orders of the First Hall Master.
This result was in line with the Fifth Hall Master's usual style of doing things.
Don't look for him if you have nothing to do, and don't look for him if you have something to do.
Qian Zhan was a little disappointed, but he was not surprised. He could only respectfully present the gifts and leave with the guards.
Next, he rested for a day.
On the second day, he prepared another gift and reinvigorated himself. He brought four guards to visit the Sixth Hall Master.
This was the last of the Hall Masters.
If he could not get the Sixth Hall Master's help, there would be no hope.
