Chapter 262: : Meeting
“Is this Great Sword Manor?”
Looking down at the distant, continuous houses, Lin Tianyi was a little dumbfounded.
Xiling Great Sword Manor, the location of the Golden Family Xiahou Clan.
Because the clansmen are all uniformly dressed with great swords on their backs, people prefer to call them Great Sword Manor rather than Xiahou Family.
Before coming, Lin Tianyi guessed that the scale of Great Sword Manor would not be small, but he didn’t expect it to be so big, it looked like a town.
Looking at the scale, there are at least thirty to fifty thousand people, which is comparable to a large sect.
“Our Xiahou clan has tens of thousands of people, plus servants and guards. With so many people’s residences and specific buildings, the scale is naturally not small.” Xiahou Zhengwu, who was beside him, saw Lin Tianyi’s thoughts and explained with a smile.
Since the letter was delivered, he showed up and accompanied Lin Tianyi, and returned to Great Sword Manor together.
“Isn’t such a large area going to have a city wall?” Lin Tianyi asked with a frown.
At a glance, it was just connecting the outer houses into a line, and enclosing the manor with a low courtyard wall.
Although there is a blank isolation zone of tens of feet on the periphery, and many lookout platforms have been built, the effect is not as good as a city wall.
“No need, anyone who approaches Great Sword Manor without taking the north-south road will be killed directly without asking why.” Xiahou Zhengwu shook his head: “Connecting the houses into a line is just to prevent those ignorant children from running around.”
“Okay.” Lin Tianyi smacked his lips.
If you are strong enough, you can indeed be unreasonable.
Entering the manor, looking at the men and women who came and went, all carrying great swords on their backs, walking vigorously and looking graceful, a fierce aura came to his face, and Lin Tianyi felt his horizons broadened.
The Golden Family values martial arts, which is fully reflected in the clansmen of Great Sword Manor; but to achieve such a unified inheritance, with everyone from top to bottom using the same weapons, this Great Sword Manor is also unique.
“Don’t the clansmen learn to use other weapons?” Lin Tianyi asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.
“No.” Xiahou Zhengwu shook his head.
Lin Tianyi gave a thumbs up for this inheritance education.
The two walked and talked, and after passing several checkpoints, they entered the core area of the manor.
Finally, after reporting, Xiahou Zhengwu brought Lin Tianyi to the front of the Council Hall.
“Go in, the Clan Leader and the elders of the clan are waiting for you inside.”
“I have troubled Senior all the way.” Lin Tianyi cupped his hands, stepped forward, pushed open the door and walked in.
A heavy pressure came head-on, making people feel suffocated.
However, although the pressure was heavy, it was mixed and not targeted, so it was naturally difficult to stop Lin Tianyi.
As soon as his body straightened, the momentum in his body naturally flowed, and it was offset.
“Junior Lin Tianyi, I have met Clan Leader Xiahou and all the Seniors.”
In the spacious and bright room, there was a long table with eleven people sitting.
The middle-aged man in the center is Xiahou Zhengde, the current Clan Leader of the Xiahou Clan.
The other ten people sat on both sides, men and women, and were members of the Xiahou Clan’s Elder Council.
The ten elders were silent and profound, their auras were mixed, and they exuded a faint pressure.
The pressure that Lin Tianyi felt was formed by their gathering.
On the contrary, Clan Leader Xiahou Zhengde’s aura was restrained and unremarkable, but for some reason, he was the most eye-catching existence in the field.
“Sit down.” Xiahou Zhengde smiled slightly and raised his hand to make a gesture.
As Xiahou Zhengde spoke, the pressure in the room disappeared instantly.
Lin Tianyi’s pupils shrank slightly.
Although the spiritual perception released could not grasp the true strength of everyone present.
But based on the feeling that the pressure gave him, six of the ten elders were no less than Blood Wraith Left Envoy of the Cangmang Mountains, and Xiahou Zhengde casually dissolved everyone’s pressure, his strength was only stronger than them.
Seven Sixth-Order Realm, this may not be all, Great Sword Manor’s strength is so powerful!
“Before we talk about things, can you show us your weapon?” After Lin Tianyi sat down, Xiahou Zhengde said.
Lin Tianyi nodded, a flash of light, and a strange long saber appeared in his hand.
Xiahou Zhengde waved his hand, held the long saber in his hand and felt it, then handed it to the left and right.
After passing around in everyone’s hands, the long saber returned to Lin Tianyi’s hand.
“Activate it and try.”
As soon as Xiahou Zhengde finished speaking, a dark light appeared on the long saber.
Everyone present was moved.
“This is not a blindfold, he really did it!”
“We have been studying for so many years and have not been able to solve the problem, but someone has broken through.”
“Could it be someone from the other two clans? Or, does he have potential connections with someone from the other two clans?”
“This kid’s past must be thoroughly investigated!”
Feeling the faint fluctuations in the air, and seeing the elders’ lips moving slightly, Lin Tianyi knew that they were having a heated discussion.
Without urging, Lin Tianyi leaned back on the chair with ease, taking a great interest in the way they communicated.
If he were not in a quiet room, a little movement would be magnified many times, and he would not be able to detect this trace of change at all.
“This method is good. You can communicate secretly in front of others. It is much more convenient than gesturing and winking. I just don’t know how it is done.”
“Where did you get this long saber, and the activation of this long saber, is it the Body Tempering Cultivation Method that you and Quansheng said cannot be taught in words?” Xiahou Zhengde’s voice pulled Lin Tianyi’s thoughts back.
Reversing his cooperative attitude at the beginning, Lin Tianyi shook his head and placed the long saber on the table, looking at Xiahou Zhengde.
“Clan Leader Xiahou, I once mentioned to Brother Quansheng that I would be unreserved and answer any questions. I wonder what you think?”
Xiahou Zhengde heard the words and looked at several elders, and seeing everyone nodding slightly, he made a decision in his heart.
“Yes, as long as it does not involve the secrets of the family’s safety, you can speak freely.”
“Okay.” Lin Tianyi then got up and made a Heart Demon Blood Oath in front of everyone again to show his sincerity.
Seeing this, Xiahou Zhengde waved his hand, and a green, long jade stone suddenly appeared in the center of the long table.
Tapping his finger lightly, the jade stone released a green light curtain, which quickly enveloped the entire quiet room.
“This is the Heart-Questioning Stone. Only the truth can be spoken within the light curtain. If there is any falsehood, the light curtain will fluctuate violently.” Xiahou Zhengde pointed to the long jade stone and continued: “I am inconvenient to swear, but this Heart-Questioning Stone can help you corroborate it.”
“Thank you, Clan Leader and Seniors.” Lin Tianyi got up and cupped his hands to thank him: “Then Clan Leader just asked two questions in a row, I wonder if I can ask two questions first?”
This kid is not easy to fool.
The people present looked at each other and smiled wryly, and Xiahou Zhengde had no choice but to raise his hand.
“Ask away.”
“The great sword used by Brother Quansheng should have the same origin as this long saber, right?”
“I don’t know if they have the same origin, because I don’t know the origin of your long saber, but the materials and functions of these two are the same.”
“Then why can’t Brother Quansheng activate this long saber, but can activate that great sword?”
“Because we can’t do it.” Xiahou Zhengde shook his head: “Even that great sword is wrapped in other materials, and then activated by converting the power through it.”
“Senior means…” Lin Tianyi was a little dazed when he heard this.
“Yes, the great sword is just a shell, and there is another weapon inside.”
