After coming down from the transfer array, they rode on the flying ship for close to a month before coming to a stop.
Mo Wuji walked down the flying ship and the first thing he saw was a verdant hill. An extremely dense elemental energy could be felt and Mo Wuji felt relaxed. He felt that this should be the god spiritual energy.
The god spiritual energy here was more than a few times denser than the surroundings of the Tao Tie Valley. What made Mo Wuji feel more comfortable was that the god spiritual energy here didn't have any impurities like the ones in the periphery of the Tao Tie Valley. Moreover, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were so clear that Mo Wuji couldn't wait to sit down and comprehend it.
If he was allowed to cultivate here, Mo Wuji was sure that he would be able to step into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage in no time.
This was still the periphery of the Lightning Sword Manor because Mo Wuji's spiritual will had already scanned the four huge words on the hill: Lightning Sword Manor.
A clear and wide bluestone road was slanted all the way to the Lightning Sword Manor.
Xi Nianmo walked at the front while the old woman called Xi Jun followed closely by her side. Her two personal maids Qian Hua and Xun Ji walked at the back. Mo Wuji could only walk at the back.
Stepping on the bluestone road towards the Lightning Sword Manor, Xi Nianmo only took ten steps before stopping. She turned back and said to Mo Wuji, "Husband, come to my side."
Mo Wuji could only reply with a muffled voice as he walked to Xi Nianmo's side.
What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that Xi Nianmo was the temporary manor lord but no one came out to welcome her ever since she returned.
However, Mo Wuji could tell that something was wrong when he saw the expressions of Aunt Jun, Qian Hua and Xun Ji.
Only when Xi Nianmo arrived at the entrance of the Lightning Sword Manor did the internal defensive array of the manor open.
Two green robed disciples stood at the entrance and bowed, "Greetings, little miss."
"How dare you! Don't you know how to address the manor lord?" Qian Hua shouted harshly.
"Qian Hua, after following little miss out for a few days, your temper seems to have become more unreasonable. Why do I feel that he didn't address her wrongly? After all, little miss is the temporary manor lord. Because little miss has not returned for a few days, the current manor lord is Young Master Sui … "A calm voice could be heard and a grey robed middle-aged man walked out from the side.
Xi Sui? Xi Nianmo hesitated for a moment before coming to an understanding. Wasn't Xi Sui Fan Sui? She had only been away for two months and a person with an unknown identity actually replaced her as the temporary Manor Lord. Moreover, his surname was even publicly Xi.
"Xi Di, you are merely a manager, how dare you speak to the young lady like that. Since you are courting death, I shall grant you your wish … "Xi Jun, who was standing beside Xi Nianmo, said angrily. At the same time, she sent a slap towards this grey robed middle aged man.
Even though the violent elemental energy was condensed into a single beam, Mo Wuji could still feel the killing intent within. Mo Wuji thought to himself: This old woman has a bad temper. She killed him without saying a word. He felt that the strength of this grey-robed manager called Xi Di was too far apart from the old woman, it was not just a small difference.
If this slap landed, Xi Di probably wouldn't be able to survive.
Boom! Xi Jun's slap was repelled by a fist halfway and a terrifying shockwave of elemental energy exploded in mid-air.
Mo Wuji, who started to retreat subconsciously after Xi Jun attacked, was still sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion.
Mo Wuji was only affected by the shockwave of the explosion. He saw Xi Jun spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This shocked Mo Wuji greatly. He had seen Xi Jun's strength before. Even the Black Mustard God Merchant House was easily destroyed by her. Even such an expert spat out a mouthful of blood under this punch.
The strength of the Lightning Sword Manor was far beyond Mo Wuji's estimation. Mo Wuji was even more uncertain now that he was forcefully dragged into a fight like this. This wasn't what he wanted. If Xi Nianmo failed in the fight for power, he would most likely be cannon fodder. How was he going to protect his own life?
A square-faced man appeared in front of everyone. Evidently, his punch came from afar.
"Elder Baren, what is the meaning of this?" Xi Nianmo's face turned solemn and her tone was filled with anger.
"Little miss, the manor must have its own rules. Manager Di didn't say anything wrong. Elder Jun's attack was meant to take his life. If we were to kill a manor manager over such a small matter, our Lightning Sword Manor would eventually decline. "The square-faced elder said in a neither haughty nor humble manner. Evidently, he didn't care much about Xi Nianmo.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. If he was Xi Nianmo, he really wouldn't have returned to fight for the position of manor lord. It was obvious that in this manor, her right to speak had been greatly reduced.
Xi Nianmo took in a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Aunt Jun was a little rash on this matter. Let's just forget about it."
"Since little miss said forget about it, then little miss will naturally have the final say." The square-faced elder followed up.
Mo Wuji despised this fella in his heart. This fella was even better at acting than him. He really wanted Xi Nianmo to rebut and say that she wanted to kill Xi Di. He wanted to see how this square-faced elder would respond.
Xi Nianmo suppressed her anger and said, "I haven't returned yet. Why do you want to remove me from the position of substitute manor lord?"
Hearing Xi Nianmo's words, the square-faced elder turned serious and said, "Little miss is right. Previously, I objected to everyone taking away little miss's position as substitute manor lord. It's just that I couldn't object to their reasoning. According to the Lightning Sword Manor's rules, the manor lord must be of age before one can assume the position. Little miss is not married yet … "
Xi Nianmo waved her hand and interrupted the square-faced elder's words. At the same time, she beckoned to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji was helpless as he could only walk to Xi Nianmo's side. Xi Nianmo pulled Mo Wuji's hand and said, "Elder Baren, this is my husband, Mo Wuji. Wuji, this is one of the five grand elders of our Lightning Sword Manor, Elder Xi Baren. Hurry up and greet him. "
Mo Wuji's face was blank as he looked at Xi Nianmo blankly before sizing up Xi Baren. Only then did he say in a low and muffled voice, "Sparrow? But he isn't. "
Finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji frowned as though he couldn't understand why the square-faced elder would call him sparrow.
Xi Nianmo hurried to say to Xi Baren, "Elder Baren, because Wuji was captured by the Black Mustard God Merchant House to search for god lattice crystals, he consumed the Spiritual Disturbance Pill. Therefore, his way of thinking is a little naive. I hope that elder won't mind."
Xi Baren laughed, "Little miss's words are too serious. Since he's the son-in-law of our Lightning Sword Manor, we will naturally do our best to save him."
Mo Wuji had experienced too many things over the years and he wasn't the kind of person who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion for millions of years. With just a casual sentence from Xi Baren, Mo Wuji knew that the other party had already investigated them. They knew his background and also knew where Xi Nianmo came from.
Mo Wuji's guess wasn't wrong. Xi Baren had indeed investigated where Xi Nianmo went.
As for the dirty deeds done by the Black Mustard God Merchant House, there were too many people who knew about it. It was just that not many would be like Xi Nianmo to destroy the Black Mustard God Merchant House recklessly. Firstly, there were too many of such incidents. Secondly, there were too many benefits involved.
On the surface, she killed the Black Mustard God Merchant House but unknowingly, Xi Nianmo had offended even more people.
After Xi Baren casually said that, he changed the topic, "Little miss, since you've already returned to the manor, why don't we hold a clan meeting three days later to decide on the matter of the Manor Lord?"
Xi Nianmo said faintly, "Why wait three days? Let's go to the clan hall of the Lightning Sword Manor to discuss the matter. "
"Alright, I will go arrange it now." Xi Baren responded immediately. Following which, he turned to Manager Xi Di and said, "Xi Di, go inform all the elders and direct descendants of the Lightning Sword Manor to head to the clan hall for a discussion."
"Yes." Xi Di bowed and took a few steps back before turning to leave. As compared to how he treated Xi Nianmo, Xi Di's attitude towards Elder Xi Baren was much better.
"I will go make some preparations too." Xi Baren said after Xi Di left. Thereafter, he didn't wait for Xi Nianmo's reply before turning to leave.
"Little miss, I'm afraid that a huge change might have happened to the Lightning Sword Manor while we were away." Looking at the departing Xi Di and Xi Baren, Xi Jun said worriedly.
Xi Nianmo said slowly, "No matter how huge the change is, the Manor Lord token is with me. Without my token, no one would be able to enter the Xi Clan's ancestral hall. Wuji … "
"I'm here." Mo Wuji looked blankly at Xi Nianmo. He didn't seem to understand why Xi Nianmo would call for him at a place like this.
Xi Nianmo looked at Mo Wuji before saying word by word, "When we reach the clan hall, don't say anything. If someone asks you, just say that he's my husband and you don't know anything else. "
"Oh." Mo Wuji responded with an 'oh' and didn't say anything else.
…
The clan hall of the Lightning Sword Manor wasn't huge. From the looks of it, it was just a huge hall. The decorations inside were extremely simple. There were only some stone blocks and stone tables.
Mo Wuji didn't understand why there was a huge pool in the middle of the clan hall. It wasn't because Mo Wuji didn't have spiritual roots and he didn't cultivate sacred arts. There wasn't any metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning or ice. He had cultivated lightning sacred arts before so he could feel that the pool in the middle of the clan hall was a lightning pool. This was because there was a large amount of lightning elemental energy within.
Only Xi Jun and Mo Wuji followed Xi Nianmo into the clan hall. Xi Jun was an elder of the Lightning Sword Manor so she had the rights to enter. Mo Wuji was Xi Nianmo's husband so he had the rights to enter too. As for Qian Hua and Xun Ji, they could only wait outside.
Xi Nianmo didn't stand on ceremony as she walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Xi Jun sat on her right while Mo Wuji sat on her left.
Not long after the three of them sat down, people started to enter the clan hall one after another. Even though Mo Wuji's cultivation level was low and he was acting dumb, he could tell that these fellas weren't weak and any one of them was stronger than him.
In less than half an incense's time, this clan hall was filled with people.
"Little miss, now that the Manor Lord has yet to be chosen, shouldn't this seat be left empty?" After everyone was seated, someone finally stood out.
The person who stood out was a beardless elder. What he meant was that Xi Nianmo shouldn't be sitting on the main seat now.
