As Steward Wang's scolding voice spread throughout the spiritual field, the handyman disciples walked out of the stone house and spiritual field one by one and gathered towards where Purple-clothed Deacon, Steward Wang and others were.

The purple-robed deacon did not fall behind. He stood in the air with a flower magical weapon on his feet, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, sweeping over the disciples.

Two inner disciples were diagonally below him, while Manager Wang and other outer disciples took the initiative to land on banana leaves, diagonally below the inner disciples.

This queue is like a cone-shaped diagonal upwards, with the purple-robed deacon as the highest point, and the distinction between high and low status is fully exposed.

After a while, the servant disciples gathered together, and the purple-clothed deacon asked.

"How many of the handyman disciples from the Lingtian Department have not arrived yet?"

Manager Wang quickly checked the list, looked at them one by one, and then quickly reported: "Including Zhang Shan, there are five people who have not arrived today."

"I will personally search the residences of Zhang Shan and Liu Lan. You can search for the remaining four people who are not here. If there is anyone, arrest them first and ask them. If there is no one, ask for their whereabouts. When they come back, you must carefully identify and ask them."

The purple-clothed deacon gave an order and descended from the sky. Steward Wang looked nervous and led him into the Zhangshan stone house to take a closer look.

The purple-robed deacon had a straight face and glanced at the position of Zhangshan's stone bed.

The stone bed has been turned upside down, and the back of the bed has a pattern of a roaring animal head engraved on it.

There was a large, dark hole as big as a water tank at the bottom of the bed, exuding a fishy smell.

"Raising spirit-stealing rats is at best a violation of the sect's rules, but the unique patterns for taming and controlling beasts belong to the Spirit Beast Sect."

The purple-robed deacon said coldly.

"This Zhang Shan must have been bribed by the Spiritual Beast Sect."

Manager Wang repeatedly echoed: "Deacon Lu is absolutely right, it must be so! Zhang Shan has the Five Spiritual Root qualifications and has been in the business for twenty years. It is absolutely impossible for the Spiritual Beast Sect to use him for its layout from the beginning. He can only be bribed through Qinghefang City in recent years."

Deacon Ziyi didn't take it seriously to Manager Wang's agreement, and asked: "Why did you realize there was something wrong with Zhang Shan and come here to search?"

Steward Wang said in a low voice: "The disciple didn't notice it at first. He just felt that Zhang Shan left the spiritual field without knowing what was going on. He was going to report it to the deacon's room and leave it to the outer disciples to track down and deal with the person who left privately."

"But I didn't expect that this person would actually hand over the cultivation resources to Liu Lan, who was neither a relative nor an acquaintance, and then leave in a hurry. This move greatly violated the common practice of cultivation, so I immediately felt something was wrong."

The purple-clothed deacon put his hands behind his back: "Yes, you are domineering in the spiritual field, but you are not using all your brains."

"On the road of spiritual practice, it is only possible for parents to support their children. When there are no children to support their parents, even husband and wife have to settle their accounts. He is an old handyman who has been living in the spiritual field for 20 years. His spiritual practice is so difficult. Why should he provide for someone who is not a relative or an acquaintance?"

Manager Wang looked shocked, with cold sweat on his forehead and trembling lips.
