Bai Suxian said that her 2nd uncle looked very similar to her father except for different personalities. At the sight of her 2nd uncle, Zhang Tie had almost known how her father looked like.
Since the founding of Taixia Country, after two holy wars, Taixia Country had only conferred 6 lords. Given the title of nobility, 6 lords were at the top of Emperor Xuanyuan across Taixia Country. Therefore, it was imaginable that the 6 lords of Taixia Country were in high positions.
Bai Suxian knew that Zhang Tie didn't grow up in Taixia Country and didn't know too much about the history and major clans of Taixia Country. Therefore, on the way from Blackwater Base to Lord Guangnan's Mansion, she started to supplement Zhang Tie's knowledge about this aspect in case that Zhang Tie felt embarrassed when he talked with her 2nd uncle. Bai Suxian's 2nd uncle was very considerate of major clans.
From Bai Suxian's words, Zhang Tie got a detailed understanding about the clans of lords in Taixia Country for the first time.
Besides Lord Guangnan, the other 7 lords were Lord Xuanwu, Lord Jingtian, Lord Dingxi, Lord Yian and Lord Fairysea.
Lu Clan of Lord Xuanwu was rooted in Jinzhou Province and Pingzhou Province, one of the 9 immortal provinces in Taixia Country. In the most prosperous region of Taixia Country, Lu Clan of Lord Xuanwu was not weak among the 6 lords in Taixia Country in terms of financial resources and influence. Additionally, Lu Clan of Lord Xuanwu was the largest arms supplier in Taixia Country.
Sun Clan of Lord Jingtian was rooted in Xiangzhou Province, Yuezhou Province and Dingzhou Province in the central region of Taixia Country. The 3 provinces were full of heroes and outstanding people. Lord Jingtian's Mansion almost monopolized the mining industry in the 3 provinces. It had over 100 Class A cities and 300,000 followers. Lord Jingtian was called the reincarnation of Lord Mengchang.
The foundation of Cao Clan of Lord Dingxi was in Shouzhou Province and Xianzhou Province in the west of Taixia Country. Compared to the other prosperous lord clans, Cao Clan of Lord Dingxi was a bit declining. In less than 10 years after Cao Yan was awarded the title of lord on the Heavens Fortune List in the first holy war, Cao Yan had disappeared completely. After confirming that Cao Yan had disappeared for 30 years, as Cao Yan didn't leave any will, at the request of Cao Clan, Xuanyuan Hill conferred Cao Yan's eldest son as the successor of Lord Dingxi according to the rules. However, Cao Yan's eldest son was not as excellent as the other sons of Cao Yan. Therefore, the branch of Lord Dingxi in Taixia Country would face twists and turns.
Over the past hundreds of years, Cao Clan had performed many dramas of gratitude and hatred in order to ascend the title of lord Dingxi. Outsiders didn't know what happened inside Cao Clan; however, the fact was that many clan heads or lineal descendants of Cao Clan who had inherited the title of lord Dingxi had died in less than 10 years after inheriting the title of lord Dingxi. Of course, Cao Clan declined among the other lords in Taixia Country. However, no matter how it declined, the power of Cao Clan of Lord Dingxi could never be matched by commoners. In Shouzhou Province and Xianzhou Province, Cao Clan of Lord Dingxi had over 30 Class A cities and hundreds of Class A cities in other provinces.
The foundation of Qin Clan of Lord Yian was in Xuanyuan Hill. It was the only lord clan whose mansion was in Xuanyuan Hill. However, although the foundation of Qin Clan of Lord Yian was in Xuanyuan Hill, Qin Clan of Lord Yian had spread all over the world. Because Xuanyuan Bank, the largest bank in Taixia Country was supported by the imperial households of Taixia Country and Qin Clan of Lord Yian. Actually, Qin Clan was in charge of Xuanyuan Bank. Besides Xuanyuan Bank, Qin Clan of Lord Yian was also trusted by Emperor Xuanyuan. It could be said that Qin Clan of Lord Yian was the most low-key among the six lords in Taixia Country with the greatest potential.
"However, Lord Fairysea is the most mysterious one among the six lords in Taixia Country. Nobody knows the surname of Lord Fairysea until now!"
"Ahh, how come?" Zhang Tie asked out of amazement. At this moment, the two people were flying leisurely. Right in front of them, they could already see the airboat with the symbol of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
The airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion was parked near Xuanyuan Fortress, which was like an air city being surrounded by 11 air battle fortresses like Lion Fortress. The airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion was longer than 1,000 m, which was even larger than Black Dragon's airboat. It looked majestic and domineering. At the sight of the airboat, Zhang Tie could sense Lord Guangnan's Mansion's status.
"Lord Fairysea is a human lord who was conferred in the second holy war. At that time, numerous knights of Heavens Fortune Sect were dripping their blood to make a name for themselves. That man in white robe was not eye-catching. Nobody knew about his military exploits. He was just like tens of thousands of common knights. However, when it was his turn, the moment he dripped his blood on the Heavens Fortune List, the Heavens Fortune List immediately displayed the phenomenon that he could be conferred as a lord. In the end, the two words" Lord Fairysea "were displayed. At that moment, numerous people were shocked. Right then, that man left a sentence," There's an immortal mountain overseas; the cloud is my home ". Closely after that, he burst into laughter three times before flying away at such a high speed that even heavenly knights could not catch up with him!"
"Could it be that after so many years, no one knows who that person is?"
"That's not the case. Legend has it that Fairy Sea King actually came from the Penglai Immortal Island. After Fairy Sea King was conferred the title of king, Great Emperor Xuanyuan ordered the 80,000 miles of sea in the East Sea to be given to Fairy Sea King as his fief. The mountain gate of the Penglai Immortal Island is said to be located in that sea …"
"Legend?" Zhang Tie's interest was aroused at once as he had not imagined that there was such a legend in Penglai Immortal Island besides the inheritance of divine dominator.
"Of course, it's just a legend. Because nobody really knows where Penglai Immortal Island is. People in Penglai Immortal Island are always mysterious. I've not heard that anyone else besides Penglai Immortal Island has been to this place. Each year, many people across Taixia Country would go to sea by boat for the trace of Penglai Immortal Island. However, they couldn't find Penglai Immortal Island in any of the overseas islands."
After hearing Bai Suxian's words, Zhang Tie was really shocked. Previously, Zhang Tie planned to go to Penglai Immortal Island and exchange some battle skills and secret methods as a divine dominator with Penglai Immortal Island. However, he couldn't even find the mountain gate of Penglai Immortal Island.
"Tut-tut, there are too few lords in Taixia Country. I'm told that there are sage-level figures in the major sects. Those old monsters have outstanding battle strengths and made great meritorious deeds. Haven't they been conferred as lords by dropping their blood on Heavens Fortune Sect?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
Bai Suxian threw a glance at Zhang Tie as she felt a bit ridiculous, "If you were Emperor Xuanyuan, would you allow sage-level figures of major sects to drop their blood on Heavens Fortune Sect to be conferred as lords by having them be the top figures and leading hundreds of millions of disciples of major sects? Even all the commoners and officials in Taixia Country have to lower their heads at the sight of them?"
Zhang Tie shook his head, "Of course not. If that's the case, Emperor Xuanyuan would not be able to sleep well at night. If those people have such an ability, if some of them are ambitious and want to try to be an emperor, they would cause a great disaster! You mean Emperor Xuanyuan forbids sage-level knights of major sects to drop their blood on Heavens Fortune Rankings to be conferred as lords? "
"No need for Emperor Xuanyuan's prohibition. The top sects and the imperial households of Taixia Country have a tacit understanding about this. Disciples of top sects could drop their blood on the Heavens Fortune List to be conferred titles of nobility by displaying their battle strength and expanding the reputation of their sects. However, sage-level knights of top sects couldn't do that. Not only sage-level knights, even heavenly knights of top sects could barely do that. Being conferred titles of nobility by sage-level knights is a threat to Emperor Xuanyuan; being conferred titles of nobility by heavenly knights means that Emperor Xuanyuan has one more official. None of the top sects in Taixia Country would be conferred titles of nobility by dropping their blood on the Heavens Fortune List. According to the rules of Heavens Fortune Sect, none of the disciples of Heavens Fortune Sect could confer titles of nobility by dropping their blood on the Heavens Fortune List."
Zhang Tie understood it. He had not imagined that Emperor Xuanyuan and the major sects could have such a tacit understanding on this point. Only in this way could Xuanyuan Hill maintain a balance with the major sects.
"If so, introduce Lord Guangnan's Mansion to me …" Zhang Tie said with a shameless look.
"You're asking for a beating!" Bai Suxian complained in a coquettish manner.
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter. Of course, Bai Suxian didn't need to introduce Lord Guangnan's Mansion. If a person who was going to be the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion didn't know about Lord Guangnan's Mansion at this moment, it would be too insincere. Bai Suxian had told him about Lord Guangnan's Mansion before. After asking some dare-to-die fighters gifted by Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Zhang Tie basically knew about Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
It could be said that each lord's mansion had its own feature. However, Lord Guangnan's Mansion could never match the other lord's mansions in terms of power and wealth. Bai Clan of Lord Guangnan dominated the south of Taixia Country. Its foundation was in Yuezhou Province, Hongzhou Province, Kunzhou Province and Zhaozhou Province. It had over 1,000 cities and over 100 million armored soldiers. Not only that, Lord Guangnan's Mansion also had a great influence among the tribes in the hundreds of millions of mountains in the south border of Taixia Country. The entire south border was like the backyard of Lord Guangnan. Even many barbarians had to follow the order of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. It was said that as long as people entered the hundreds of millions of mountains in the south border of Taixia Country surnamed Bai, nobody would dare touch them. Such a huge clan was a top one among the six lords of Taixia Country.
When they talked, they had come to the entrance of the airboat. 7-8 bearded, sturdy old men were standing at the entrance of the airboat. They were all watching Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian with gleaming eyes like there was a flower on Zhang Tie's face.
At the sight of them, Zhang Tie had known that they were all knights, 3 of them were earth knights.
At the sight of this scene, Bai Suxian became disobedient as she acted like a spoiled child at once, "Uncles, what are you doing?"
"Hehhehheh, second master said that Miss is going to bring the son-in-law here. Therefore, we're here to check it for Miss …" A silly guy whose arms were as thick as Zhang Tie's thigh touched his bald head as he smirked, "According to the rules of South Border, the son-in-law should show his power in front of us …"
