Chapter 124: The Unhindered Path

  The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, with hatred, fear, and regret appearing on the faces of the Shentu family members, each one different from the others.

  Zhang Shan's killing intent began to spread out, things had reached this point, letting them off was impossible, not killing the snake would lead to harm.

  His gaze inadvertently fell on Shen Tu Shengbei in front of him, and this kid was kneeling on the ground, trembling non-stop.

  "You said if we answer your questions quickly and honestly, you'll let some people go, including my son."

  Shen Tu Yongping looked at him with a murderous expression in his eyes and suddenly shouted loudly.

  "I said maybe I'll consider it, but didn't promise to let you off, right?" Zhang Shan had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "Zhang's surname, you deceived Laozi, you scoundrel!" Shentu Yongping shouted loudly.

  "Of course, although I didn't really promise anything, considering you cooperated just now, I can spare your son's life."

  "However, considering today's events can't be let out, I'll ruin his brain. As for whether he can survive in the future, it depends on his luck."

  After finishing speaking, he pressed his hand on Shentu Shengbei's head.

  Shentu Sheng's face turned pale with fright, and he loudly wailed: "No, I don't want to become an idiot! Father, quickly save me!"

  This kid is obviously a spoiled brat, facing this situation, he will only shiver and ask his old man for help.

  Seeing his beloved youngest son about to become an idiot, Shen Tuye gritted his teeth and shouted:

  "Spare me! If you promise not to harm my son, I'll tell you a secret."

  Zhang Shan's heart skipped a beat as he stopped what he was doing: "A secret? What kind of secret is worth me taking such a huge risk?"

  "It's about Shentu Shengdong, you'll definitely be interested." Shentu Yongping continued to shout.

  "Third elder brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

  After hearing his words, Shen Tuyeong, who had been lying on the ground without making a sound, suddenly let out an angry shout.

  "It seems like it's really an incredible secret."

  Seeing the reaction of the master of the Shen family, Zhang Shan blinked his eyes and chuckled.

  With a swift grab, he knocked Shen Tuye's lower jaw loose, rendering him speechless.

  Then he turned to Shen Tuye and said, "Alright, now tell me your secret."

  "You have to swear on your soul to spare my son's life before I'll tell you, otherwise I will never reveal it." Shentu Yongping said through gritted teeth.

  "I don't like a prisoner of war negotiating terms with me, I swear on my honor that I won't do it, however..."

  Zhang Shan hesitated for a moment before saying: "I can agree to your request, if that secret is worth your son's life. I won't harm him, but you must let me plant the God Soul Blood Seal."

  Xun Yu's chest heaved with agitation, his expression changing unpredictably, clearly showing that he was struggling intensely in his heart.

  "Rest assured, after planting the Divine Soul Blood Seal, I won't restrict his freedom. He can change his name and live a low-key life elsewhere, give you an heir, my conditions are already very generous, don't be greedy."

  "Alright, I hope you keep your word."

  At this moment, Zhangshan walked back to the chair and sat down, listening to Shentu Yongping mention this secret.

  As he spoke, Zhang Shan's face revealed his astonishment. This was indeed an unexpected piece of news.

  It turned out that the Shentu family had been suppressed by their arch-enemy, the Situ family, for a long time, and the Situ family's relationship with the Tian Xiang Sect was even stronger than theirs. After throwing an olive branch at them in the Xuanyuan Palace, the master of the Taishang House, Shentu Quan, finally decided to change his allegiance.

  According to the plan of Xuanming Palace, a large amount of resources were provided to the Shentu family, allowing them to win over and bribe Qiu Feixing of Chiyang Peak and others, in order to become the mundane proxy family of Wenti Zong in Qingyang City.

  And as planned, let Shentu Shengdong enter the Qitian Sect through the gate of the Xuantian Academy and become a dark son.

  During this time, due to Zhang Shan's appearance, Shen Tusheng lost in the door selection and almost lost his qualification to compete for the proxy family of Qingyang City.

  Luckily, Qiu Fei Xing still gave him a substitute spot, and Shen Tu Sheng Dong was able to enter the Tian Xiang Sect smoothly.

  Afterwards, Shen Tu Sheng Dong began to get along widely with the disciples of Chi Yang Peak.

  Next, he let his sister Shentu Shengmei come to the Tianzong and found an opportunity to let Shentu Shengmei meet Qiu Feixing, implementing a beauty trick.

  The plan went smoothly, and Qiu Feixing took Shen Tusheng as his concubine. The support for the Shen family increased greatly, and they began to suppress and squeeze out the Situ family, gaining an advantage.

  According to the plan of Zhu Xuan's palace, after getting rid of the Situ family, the Shen Tu family will dominate Qingyang City alone, and the Tianzong sect will definitely hand over the control of Qingyang City to them.

  After listening to Shen Tuye's narration, Zhang Shan was secretly delighted in his heart.

  In today's events, although Shentu's family designed to harm his relatives, he now killed the door-to-door, strictly speaking, is against the rules.

  Following the proper procedure would be to report it to the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall and let them handle it.

  But Zhangshan is worried that the intervention of the law enforcement hall will take a long time, and under the provocation of malicious people, it may evolve into a struggle between the two peaks.

  At that time, the sect weighed the pros and cons, so the Shen family may not have been severely punished. Therefore, Zhang Shan took the approach of cutting the tangled hemp with a sharp knife, beheading first and reporting later.

  However, Zhangshan's approach will also be severely punished afterwards.

  Now that the news of Shentu's family colluding with external enemies has been obtained, digging out such an internal traitor will not only not be punished by Zhang Shan, but will instead receive a reward. This is truly an unexpected surprise.

  After calming down the joy in his heart, Zhang Shan thought for a moment and then asked:

  "I've heard rumors that the Xuanming Palace is going to bring Qingyang City into its own sphere of influence. Is this true?"

  "We are just following orders, as for what the higher-ups think, we don't have the qualifications to know."

  Zhang Shan nodded and knew that Shentu's family might just be a pawn, and it would make sense if they didn't know about it.

  "Who else in your family knows about taking refuge in the Xuan Ming Palace?"

  "Taishang Jiamou, we three brothers, plus Xiong Dong and Xiong Mei as undercover agents, only six people know about it."

  "Shentu Quan and Shentu Yongzhen are already dead, and Shentu Shengdong and Shentu Shengmei are not under their control. In that case, Shentu Yongping and Shentu Yongding cannot die, they must be left alive."

  Zhang Shan's mind was racing with thoughts.

  At once he thought of it again, others are also not to be killed now, this matter must be reported to the sect, these people must also be handed over to the sect for disposal.

  "So now notify the Situ family to send someone over and have them keep an eye on everyone here, then send a message to Master and have her inform the sect."

  Zhang Shan thought of this and took out a message token, just wanting to inform the Situ family.

  At this time, the master of the Shentu family, who had been lying on the ground all along, suddenly let out a low groan, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

  Zhang Shan was taken aback for a moment, then looked intently ahead.

  Then Shen Tuye looked at him with an extremely resentful and venomous gaze, but a cruel smile appeared on his face.

  Zhang Shan suddenly felt an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart, as if he was about to face death.
