Steward Hao had already inquired about Zhang Yan's residence beforehand. After receiving the order, he rushed to Stargazing Peak with two attendants.
He had been in the Du family for a long time and had also practiced Qi to seek Dao. It was just that he was limited by his aptitude and could not open his meridians. However, it was not a problem for him to drive a talisman.
He was originally a servant in the Du family. This time, he followed Young Master Du You to the lower house of the Ying Cang Sect. He finally felt that there was a day where he could make a name for himself. Now that he had the opportunity to personally detain a new disciple, he could not help but feel proud.
He walked all the way to the entrance of Zhang Yan's abode of Immortal's Cave. Without announcing anyone, he pushed the door open and walked inside. He deliberately avoided looking at the people inside the abode of Immortal's Cave and pretended to ask, "Where is Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Yan was originally about to deal with Lin Tong, who was stuffed into the cauldron by Luo Xiao. Suddenly, he saw Steward Hao barge in as if there was no one else around. His expression immediately turned cold and said, "Who are you?"
Steward Hao put his hands behind his back and said with his head held high, "Zhang Yan, I am the steward of the lower house. Today, the head disciple of the lower house, Du You, has gathered all the disciples to the side hall for a discussion. Everyone is going, why are you the only one not going? I am here on Young Master's order to take you for questioning. Why are you not kneeling and admitting your crimes? "
Head disciple of the lower house? Du You?
Zhang Yan was slightly puzzled and immediately became alert.
Did the situation in the lower house change? He looked at the other's posture and suddenly realized something. He sneered, "Let's not talk about whether you are guilty or not. I am a new disciple. You are just a servant, how dare you arrest me?"
"Cut the crap. Are you going to tie your hands or wait for me to take them?" Although Steward Hao had a talisman in his hand, Zhang Yan had a "fierce" reputation. Moreover, his mana and cultivation were far above his. Coupled with Zhang Yan's imposing figure, he was actually nervous.
Just as Steward Hao raised the Restraint Ruler, Zhang Yan's body suddenly tensed up. His hair stood on end as a sense of extreme danger emanated from the ruler. Just from the immense aura emanating from it, Zhang Yan could tell that it was an extremely powerful magic tool.
Zhang Yan looked solemn. He quietly put his hand into his sleeve and grasped something. It was a protective item given to him by Ning Chongxuan. He didn't know how useful it was.
When Steward Hao saw that Zhang Yan was indeed unwilling to submit, he thought to himself, "You're the one who's looking for death, so you can't blame me." He raised the Restraining Ruler and was about to release it to hit Zhang Yan, but before he could make a move, his hand suddenly became empty.
The next moment, he was dumbfounded to see that a beautiful woman was playing with the ruler in her hands with great interest.
Steward Hao was in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses. He couldn't help but shout, "Quickly return my transcendent artifact!"
Luo Xiao spat and said disdainfully, "How dare you pretend to be a transcendent artifact with this kind of crude refinement?"
Steward Hao was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He said, "You lowly servant, I'm the steward of the Du clan. Do you know that the Du clan, the Du …"
Zhang Yan shook his head. He didn't want to waste time with him. He took two steps forward, grabbed his arm, and threw him out.
Outside the cave was a plank road. Steward Hao was instantly scared out of his wits. Fortunately, Zhang Yan didn't use too much strength. In a fluster, Steward Hao managed to hold onto the plank road firmly. Otherwise, he might have fallen to pieces. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two attendants quickly pulled him up.
Steward Hao had suffered. How could he dare to stay here any longer? He immediately ran back in a panic.
Zhang Yan's face darkened. Before he went into seclusion, he heard from Ai Zhongwen that Zheng Xun had returned to the clan to open his meridians. Now that he thought about it, this Du You who claimed to be the first disciple of the lower house must have taken over Zheng Xun's original position.
He could more or less guess what this Du You was planning. It seemed that it was not appropriate to not have the strength or identity to intimidate everyone.
Ning Chongxuan had given him something, so he might have to borrow it today.
Luo Xiao picked up the "Prudential Ruler" and played with it a few times. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and giggled. She seemed to have thought of some wicked idea. She picked up Lin Tong, who was unconscious in the cauldron, and stuffed the ruler into Lin Tong's sleeve.
Zhang Yan looked at her and said, "What are you doing?"
Luo Xiao clapped her hands and said proudly, "If I'm not wrong, this ruler must be a pair. Just sit back and watch the show!"
Du You waited in the Main Hall for two hours. Just as he was getting impatient, a disheveled Steward Hao came back. As soon as he entered the Main Hall, he cried out, "Young Master, please calm your anger. This old servant was careless and made a mistake, causing the magic weapon to be taken away by Zhang Yan. I beg the Young Master to punish me."
Du You opened his mouth and suddenly became furious. He pointed at Steward Hao and cursed, "Nonsense, Zhang Yan is just an Essence Building Cultivator. My magic weapon can be knocked over by a cultivator at the Clear Qi Stage. How could it be taken away by him?"
Steward Hao said with a sullen face, "Although the magic treasure is good, before this old servant could use it, it was taken by Zhang Yan …" He originally wanted to say that it was taken by a servant girl, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he was afraid of losing face, so he immediately changed his words.
Du You secretly cursed him as a waste. This Steward Hao was also brought by him from the Du Clan. He did not want him to be like this. The more he looked at him, the more annoyed he felt. His face sank as he said, "I lost my magic weapon, what use do you have!"
Steward Hao's body trembled. He was familiar with Du You's temperament, so he knew what he wanted to do. He immediately called out, "Young Master, spare … …"
He had not even finished speaking when a white light flashed in the Main Hall. "Kacha" a sound was heard. His head had already cracked open, and he died on the spot.
Du You stretched out his hand and gently beckoned. A fluorescent and translucent jade ruler that was as thin as a cicada's wing flew back into his palm.
Lin Yuan's eyelids twitched as he looked at the scene from the side. This Du You actually had more than one magic weapon in his hands?
Du You frowned as he tried to pinch the magic weapon back and forth a few times. But he did not get a response from the magic weapon. He thought that the magic weapon was being suppressed by someone else, and could not escape.
A person could die, but an magic weapon could never be lost!
He sneered and said, "Zhang Yan, do you really think that my magic weapon is so easy to take?"
At the moment, the ruler in his hand was called the "Fixed Ruler". It was a pair with the "Constrained Ruler". The main ruler and the auxiliary ruler were mutually attracted to each other.
Du You muttered a spell in his heart and said, "Go!" A white light flew out of his hand and instantly passed through the Main Hall.
A moment later, two white lights flew back into the Main Hall at the same time and steadily landed in his hand. It was the pair of jade rulers.
He silently checked in his heart and knew that the "Fixed Ruler" had already taken someone's life. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up. He turned around and pointed to the two strong men beside him and said, "You two, go and bring back Zhang Yan's corpse."
The two strong men acknowledged and left the Main Hall.
Du You looked around and said slowly, "Junior Brothers, please wait for a moment. Zhang Yan was so arrogant. As the eldest disciple of the Lower House, I will naturally give you an explanation."
All 28 of them, including Lin Yuan, looked down and didn't say a word.
Du You did not care. When he brought back Zhang Yan's corpse, these people would naturally know what he was up to.
The two strong men moved very quickly. About an hour later, they returned to recover their lives.
Du You could not hold back and asked anxiously, "Where is Zhang Yan?"
The strong man replied, "Zhang Yan is outside the Main Hall."
Du You nodded with satisfaction and said, "Come, bring the corpse here."
The strong man hesitated for a moment and then waved his hand. Two long men carried a bloody corpse. This person's head was smashed and his face was blurred.
The disciples secretly shook their heads. Although they all looked down on Zhang Yan's background, they also thought that Zhang Yan could be considered an outstanding person. What he did on the Earth Gate was also admirable. They did not expect that he would die in the hands of a young man today. It could be said that he was unlucky.
Du You glanced at the crowd and saw that there seemed to be fear in their eyes. He could not help but feel proud. He pointed at the corpse and pretended to ask, "This is Zhang Yan?"
Originally, he did not expect anyone to answer this question. The strong man hesitated and said, "This, this person seems to be Zhang Yan …"
"Seems to be Zhang Yan?" Du You turned his head and suddenly stared at the strong man.
The strong man was shocked. He was also present when Steward Hao was beaten to death. He could not help but stutter, "There was someone waiting outside the door. He said that he was also Zhang Yan …"
Du You was furious. He pointed at the corpse and said, "That person is Zhang Yan. This person is also Zhang Yan. How many Zhang Yan's are there in the Lower House?"
A clear voice came from outside. "The person who was beaten to death is Brother Lin Yuan's junior brother, Lin Tong."
"What?" Lin Yuan was startled and immediately cried out, "Zhang Yan? Why are you … "
A tall figure walked into the Main Hall under everyone's gaze. Who else could it be but Zhang Yan?
Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Could the person who was beaten to death really be Lin Tong?
Zhang Yan walked into the Main Hall and stood still. His expression was calm. He first cupped his hands to everyone and then said, "Just now, I was chatting happily with Brother Lin in the cave. Suddenly, an evil servant came out and said that he wanted to capture me. Brother Lin was furious and argued with the evil servant. Who knew that the evil servant wanted to injure you? So Brother Lin took the jade ruler from the person's hand and kept it in his bosom. He said that he would return it to the owner of the treasure in the future. Who knew that not long after the evil servant left, another ruler suddenly flew out and hit Brother Lin's head on the spot, causing him to die a violent death."
He sighed and said with a sigh, "I have always been on good terms with Brother Lin and admire his character. Who would have thought that he would die in the hands of a vile person today. What a pity."
Lin Yuan's expression was strange. Of course, he knew his younger brother Lin Tong's temperament. What Zhang Yan said was most likely not true. But now, he could only tacitly agree with Zhang Yan's statement. Could he say that Lin Tong saw the treasure and was seeking his own death?
No matter what, Lin Tong was his younger brother. Now that he was killed for no reason, even if it was for his own face, he had to come out and defend Zhang Yan's words.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"You are Zhang Yan?" Du You's two consecutive attacks had failed, causing him to lose a lot of face in front of his fellow disciples. At this moment, he was even mocked by Zhang Yan as a "vile person". He was already mad with anger. His eyes were red as he looked at Zhang Yan. Suddenly, he shouted and two white lights flew out from his hands towards Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed. Seeing the two rulers flying down from above, he also waved his hand, and a streak of green light flew out from his sleeve. "Ka Ka" suddenly resounded in the air, as if two pieces of metal were breaking. The two jade rulers that were originally shining with a bright white light unexpectedly fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but cry out, "Spirit tool?"
All the disciples were shocked. This was a spirit tool that had spirituality and could be moved at will. Compared to Du You's magic tools that still needed to be activated, it was many times better.
Today, Du You continuously took out magic tools to hit people, which already made everyone sigh at the Du family's generosity. They didn't expect that Zhang Yan actually had a spirit tool on him?
What was this Zhang Yan's background?
Ai Zhongwen said that this person's background was extraordinary. Could it be that he was really a disciple that was deliberately hidden and cultivated by some aristocratic family?
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhang Yan with a complicated gaze.
