Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 6231
Chapter 6231: Xiang Family
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Senior, are you from another region?”
The young man had wings on his back, looked extremely handsome, and his manners were courteous, making people feel very comfortable.
Jian Wushuang was surprised and asked, “How did you know?”
There were still quite a few humans here, and the other party could tell at a glance that he was an outsider.
“It’s simple. Senior doesn’t have the aura of the Wild Ancient Domain or the aura of the Zhu HuoGod. I guessed that Senior must be from outside!”
“Oh!” Jian Wushuang’s interest was immediately piqued.
Speaking of this aura, he had indeed studied it.
He hadn’t found it particularly unique, but he didn’t expect that the experts here paid so much attention to it.
“If Senior doesn’t have a place to stay, why not come to my Xiang family to rest first? In Giant Deer City, the Xiang family still has some influence. No matter why Senior has come, we can help a little!”
The young man’s face lit up with pride when he mentioned his family.
“Then I’ll take you up on your offer!”
Jian Wushuang did not refuse and agreed immediately.
Following the young man into the east side of the city, there were high-walled courtyards everywhere, each exuding an extraordinary aura, and all inhabited by some super experts.
But to Jian Wushuang, they were much weaker.
Even those Universe Gods posed no threat to him.
So he agreed so readily.
It was also to learn about some things in the Wild Ancient Domain.
The young man stopped in front of a grand courtyard and gestured, “Please, Senior!”
Stepping into the Xiang residence, a breeze carried a scent that made Jian Wushuang’s nose twitch.
That scent was very familiar, one he had been fortunate to smell many years ago.
“Blood, a metallic scent?”
Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.
He hadn’t smelled this scent outside the gate, but as soon as he entered the residence, he detected it.
“Friend Xiang Yang, the formation in your residence is truly remarkable!”
He pretended to praise, hoping to get some information.
At this moment, his avatar was just an ordinary Ninth Tribulation Universe Master, with divine power only at forty million.
Not even a demigod.
His mental power was the same, after all, it wasn’t his true body.
So, he hadn’t sensed that aura through the courtyard. He could have had his true body descend to investigate directly, but there was no need for that.
The young man who had invited him, Xiang Yang, got excited when he heard about their formation, “Senior indeed has sharp eyes. The formation here was personally set up by a Universe God, who specializes in formations and was once a disciple of the Fire God!”
This identity was indeed quite intimidating.
The God of Fire, Zhu Huo, had fallen countless years ago. Because the Realm God Continent had shattered back then, most of the Universe Gods had perished, leaving behind only a few rising stars.
The fact that there were still remnants of Universe Gods also genuinely surprised Jian Wushuang.
After expressing his admiration, he didn’t ask further questions.
Xiang Yang instructed his servants to prepare a banquet to entertain the guest.
Jian Wushuang didn’t decline and, after a brief tour of the front courtyard, began discussing some matters related to the vicinity of Zhu Huo’s tomb.
As they walked, he listened and nodded frequently, displaying a look of astonishment.
But in reality, it was just as expected.
This place backed onto Mount Huoshen, which was also the tombstone mountain of the God of Fire, Zhu Huo.
Zhu Huo was a six-star Universe God before the shattering of the Realm God Continent.
Whether before the shattering or on the new continent, a six-star Universe God was an extremely formidable force.
However, compared to Jian Wushuang, they were far inferior.
Now, let alone a six-star Universe God, even an eight-star Universe God was insignificant in his eyes.
Because his own strength had already surpassed eight stars.
“Senior Wushuang, although there aren’t many cities around Mount Huoshen, there are many forces. Firstly, there’s the Zhu family. This goes without saying, as they are the most blessed by the God of Fire!”
This Jian Wushuang knew well.
When a Universe God fell, the first to be rewarded was the Origin Source of the Realm God Continent, followed by the place where they perished.
Then came the expansion of the bloodline power.
When ascending to Universe God, one could enhance the family bloodline, and the same occurred upon falling, returning blessings to the family bloodline.
Therefore, the Zhu family was the top force around Mount Huoshen.
Next were the tribes originally living near this area.
Before the Realm God Continent shattered, this place belonged to the Feather God Tribe.
Zhu Huo came from the Fire God Tribe but married into the Feather God Tribe.
So, they established themselves at Mount Huoshen.
After his fall, the surrounding Feather God Tribe strongmen were also blessed.
“Then, Young Master Xiang must be a descendant of the Feather God Tribe!”
“Indeed, most of the cultivators living on Mount Huoshen now are descendants of the Feather God Tribe. Of course, in recent years, because Mount Huoshen is open to the public, it has attracted many foreign experts, such as Senior Wushuang!”
Xiang Yang’s words were intriguing, especially the last sentence, clearly attempting to probe Jian Wushuang.
The intentions of foreign experts were simple: they either sought opportunities on Mount Huoshen or fled to the Wild Ancient Domain for refuge.
However, most refugees were Universe Gods.
Strongmen like Jian Wushuang, who appeared to be Universe Masters, mainly aimed for Mount Huoshen.
Although Mount Huoshen was open to the public, not everyone could access it.
One needed to obtain qualifications.
And these qualifications were monopolized by the major families and forces around.
Climbing the mountain based on one’s own strength was extremely difficult.
But for Jian Wushuang, it posed no challenge.
The key was that he didn’t even regard Mount Huoshen highly.
The reason he had his Dharmakaya descend was merely to scout the Wild Ancient Domain.
He did not hold back from Xiang Yang’s probing and directly stated his intentions.
He was entering the Wild Ancient Domain for the first time, knew nothing, and wanted to gather information and find a foothold.
Upon hearing Jian Wushuang’s intentions, Xiang Yang was delighted.
This was practically a strongman delivered to their door!
These major families had deep foundations, but few strongmen, hence they needed retainers to hold the fort.
Jian Wushuang’s displayed strength was around forty million divine power, not quite at the demigod level, but in Ju Lu City, he was considered a top expert.
The banquet began shortly after their conversation.
To entertain him, Xiang Yang showed great respect, arranging for several exotic beauties to accompany them.
Apart from these beauties, there were two Ninth Tribulation experts.
An old man and a young man!
They were not from the Xiang family but were worshipped by the Xiang family.
Moreover, they were strongmen under Xiang Yang’s command.
Throughout the banquet, they continuously boasted about how many benefits they had gained upon entering the Wild Ancient Domain, all thanks to the Xiang family and Young Master Xiang Yang.
Such tactics were merely to flaunt their abilities.
Jian Wushuang was well aware of these tricks, simply nodding with a smile.
