Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154

After the old monk, an elderly Daoist priest also stepped forward.

With great solemnity, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiaoshan:

"Master Zhang, this humble Daoist pays his respects."

"Thank you, Master Zhang, for enlightening us today, allowing us to go further and behold the sights from higher grounds."

Following the elderly Daoist priest, other cultivators also stepped forward expressing gratitude towards Zhang Xiaoshan.

Don't underestimate Zhang Xiaoshan's few words; they are extremely important to everyone present.

Unable to see the big picture when obstructed by the trivial.

Zhang Xiaoshan's previous words undoubtedly helped everyone remove the obstructing leaf.

The benefits are not only immediate; Zhang Xiaoshan's words will greatly aid their future cultivation as well!

Some are joyful, while others are troubled, as for the Chu family, they are at the peak of distress.

While other cultivators advance further, the Chu family plummets.

Zhang Xiaoshan's cold gaze once again falls upon Chu Zhentian.

"Where did you take Xu Jing?"

Chu Zhentian, feeling despair, hesitates before responding:

"That woman was sent to Tianhai."

"The Chasing Moon Alliance ordered me to send her to Tianhai."

"After that, someone over there will handle it."

Hearing Chu Zhentian's words, Zhang Xiaoshan understands that this matter is certainly connected to Tianhai's Haiseng Group.

Xu Jing is very likely in the hands of the Shen family's second master in Tianhai Haisheng Group.

The Shen family's second master intends to use Xu Jing to threaten Xu Tong, forcing Xu Tong to relinquish his position, thus gaining control of Haiseng Group!

It seems that the Shen family's second master of the Haiseng Group is closely connected with the Chasing Moon Alliance.

To a secular power like the Haiseng Group, the Chasing Moon Alliance would naturally be uninterested.

What truly interests the Chasing Moon Alliance must be the Fish-dragon Order from the Haiseng Group!

Realizing this, Zhang Xiaoshan becomes increasingly worried about Xu Jing's safety.

The Chasing Moon Alliance is exceptionally dangerous, and that Shen family's second master is no benign figure!

As Zhang Xiaoshan investigates Xu Jing's whereabouts, several imposing figures dressed in black tactical suits approach from a distance. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

These individuals wear metallic masks, obscuring their features.

Yet, as these figures approach, they exude a powerful sense of oppression to all cultivators present.

Some cultivators show slight variations in expression, looking at these figures with deep caution!

Most cultivators in the arena cannot identify these individuals.

However, a few highly experienced cultivators exclaim:

"Cultivators from the Special Action Group of the National Protection Bureau!"

Hearing this, numerous surrounding cultivators are awed.

The Special Action Group's cultivators are rarely seen by ordinary people.

Without extremely prestigious identities or having committed tremendous crimes, one would generally not have any contact with the Special Action Group's cultivators.

"Divine Doctor Zhang, long time no see."

The leader from the Special Action Group, Vermilion Bird, greets Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan nods slightly, then says:

"Do you require my cooperation in your investigation?"

Vermilion Bird shakes her head, saying:

"We are here merely to prevent ordinary people from being involved and harmed in this matter."

"Your personal conflict with Chu Zhentian is none of our concern; we will neither interfere nor inquire."

Vermilion Bird's conversation with Zhang Xiaoshan is heard by everyone around.

Now many cultivators are increasingly astounded by Zhang Xiaoshan's background.

"No wonder Divine Doctor Zhang is acquainted with members of the Special Action Group."

"It seems Divine Doctor Zhang has a background with the National Protection Bureau!"

After this cultivator speaks, others around nod in agreement.

To ordinary cultivators, Divine Realm Experts are held in utmost reverence.

Yet even they must abide by the rules set by the National Protection Bureau!

With such a background, Zhang Xiaoshan, despite any lack of power, is not someone that Divine Realm Experts can afford to provoke!

"We need to take Chu Zhentian back for investigation."

After greeting Zhang Xiaoshan, Vermilion Bird begins to address the main issue.

Zhang Xiaoshan nods in agreement and says:

"Take him away, his condition is already such that killing him makes no difference."

However, as Zhang Xiaoshan speaks with Vermilion Bird.

Suddenly, the prostrate Chu Zhentian forcefully strikes his heart, shattering it!

Chu Zhentian spews a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly withers.

He looks at Zhang Xiaoshan tremblingly, speaking with difficulty:

"My only mistake was provoking you!"

With these words, Chu Zhentian breathes his last!

The unexpected turn of events left Vermilion Bird's team with no time to react.

Witnessing this scene, the Chu family members burst into wails.

Chu Xiaoxiao rushes beside Chu Zhentian, crying loudly.

Furiously, she looks at Zhang Xiaoshan and shouts:

"It's all because of you!"

"You killed my grandfather!"

"Why did you target the Chu family!"

Her words are met with Zhang Xiaoshan's cold response:

"Chu Zhentian and the Chu family's fate are entirely their own doing!"

"Had the Chu family been able to stop in time once, they wouldn't have ended up ."

"It was the Chu family, Chu Zhentian himself, and even you, Chu Xiaoxiao, who caused Chu Zhentian's demise!"

Speaking to this point, Zhang Xiaoshan's voice grows even colder as he says:

"To outsiders, the Chu family may seem exalted and revered."

"But to me, the Chu family is nothing; they don't have the merit for me to target them."

"If you hadn't repeatedly sought your own destruction, I wouldn't even be interested in taking action against the Chu family!"

"And now, since the Chu family and you, Chu Xiaoxiao, have made mistakes, you must pay the price!"

Zhang Xiaoshan's frigid words make Chu Xiaoxiao shiver.

She falls to the ground, instinctively retreating.

She doesn't know how Zhang Xiaoshan will deal with her.

However, before she continues to retreat, Zhang Xiaoshan makes a gesture of clenching the air, lifting her up.

"I said, you will pay the price!"
