Why did the clan elders want to see him? Zhang Tie had been thinking about this question on the way. He always felt it was a bit strange. "If it's for the all-purpose medicament, it should be a member of Long Wind Business Group instead of a deacon of Clansmen Palace. If the deacon of Clansmen Palace came here, it could only mean that the clan elders wanted to see me for the internal affairs of the clan. As a small figure, why would the clan elders pay attention to me?" Zhang Tie didn't know.
He asked that deacon; however, the deacon didn't answer him. He just told him that he would know it when he arrived at Clansmen Palace.
'Is it because of Lan Yunxi?' Zhang Tie thought, 'Could it be that the elders of Clansmen Pavilion are warning me not to dream about eating swan's flesh? But it's not clear yet. Clan elders wouldn't care about it out of boredom. If they really want to care about it, Lan Yunxi's dad would be there instead of clan elders.'
"Oh, I've not seen Count Long Wind, the clan head of Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace."
Because Attendant Zhang said that the elder only wanted to see him, Old Brother didn't come along. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to do anything. In an important place like the Clansmen Hall, there were many experts of the clan guarding it. Who would be able to cause any trouble?
It was still the Clansmen Pavilion, the same magnificent, solemn and even a bit old-fashioned building. At the sight of the people in the vehicle, the soldiers outside the Clansmen Pavilion let the vehicle in without even checking them. After getting off the vehicle, Deacon Zhang led Zhang Tie to wander around the Clansmen Pavilion. Finally, they came to a relatively tranquil independent building called "Ancestral Bloodline Hall". Zhang Tie didn't enter the building; instead, he just bowed towards the deacon outside the building.
"Elders, I've brought Zhang Tie here!"
"Well, let him in!" A faint voice drifted from the building. Deacon Zhang glanced at Zhang Tie and signaled him to enter. After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie entered the building.
There were some sandalwood incense sticks in the small building. The special smell permeated every inch of the air here, making Zhang Tie feel tranquil and tranquil. At the same time, he became tranquil both physically and mentally.
Cross the threshold. After passing through the screen wall and a courtyard, Zhang Tie saw some grey-haired old men sitting in a high hall. Zhang Tie dared not show any disrespect to these old men who had high positions and unpredictable battle strength in Huaiyuan Palace.
Only after throwing a casual glance at Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie had felt being seen through from head to toe. When those elders looked at him, the All-spirits Pagoda in Zhang Tie's mind sea slightly quivered while the surrounding spiritual force gathered like a mist and hid the All-spirits Pagoda at once. It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that All-spirits Pagoda could have such an ability.
"Zhang Tie, the grandson of Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace, greets the elders!" Zhang Tie bowed towards those elders calmly. At the sight of the elder sitting in the main seat, Zhang Tie bowed towards those elders calmly. After that, Zhang Tie directly knelt down in front of that elder and kowtowed three times, "Zhang Tie greets 6th granduncle on behalf of my father Zhang Ping!"
Zhang Tie's 6th granduncle was the most influential figure in Golden Sea City of Huaiyuan Palace. He was in charge of Clansmen Pavilion. When Zhang Tie's family arrived at Huaiyuan Prefecture for the first time, without the help of 6th granduncle, Zhang Tie's father might still be in prison. Therefore, Zhang Tie's family was very grateful to this person who had a very high seniority in Huaiyuan Palace.
At the sight of Zhang Tie's performance, those elders exchanged a glance with each other. All of them nodded inside.
"Get up!" 6th granduncle with a mellow face said tenderly. After saying that, 6th granduncle slightly raised his hand. Closely after that, Zhang Tie had felt an invisible, gentle strength from the ground under his foot. She gently lifted his whole body up, making it impossible for him to maintain his kneeling position.
'Is this the knight-level strength?' Zhang Tie was shocked inside as he wondered when he could have such a strength.
Standing there respectfully, Zhang Tie didn't know what the elders wanted to do with him. However, as the elders didn't open their mouth, Zhang Tie didn't speak either like an obedient baby.
"Brother Muray, what do you think?" An elder sitting on one side of 6th granduncle asked with a smile.
"Just follow the rules in case of any loopholes!" 6th granduncle said calmly.
"Fine!" That elder nodded as he threw a glance at one side. Closely after that, two deacons in long robes walked towards here. One of them was holding a very solemn box. Seeing those elders nodding, the other deacon opened the box and took out a crystal whose diameter was about 6-7 cm and length was longer than 30 cm. The crystal was giving out a mysterious luster. In the middle of the crystal, a mass of red blood was rolling like a living thing.
The moment he took it out, especially being too close to it, Zhang Tie instantly felt that his qi and blood all over were attracted by it and became a bit restless.
That deacon took the crystal in hand carefully. After that, he straightened the top part of the crystal and told Zhang Tie, "Prick the top part of this bloodline crystal with your finger!"
It was not the right moment to ask why. It seemed that these elders didn't mean to harm him. Zhang Tie then put one finger on the top part of the crystal. After a bit forcefully, the crystal was broken. At the same time, a drop of blood flew off Zhang Tie's finger. Under Zhang Tie's gaze, the drop of blood started to penetrate into the crystal like how a plant penetrated into the earth. At the same time, the mass of blood in the crystal became restless. The moment the blood touched the crystal, the entire crystal started to give out a red luster. After 10 more seconds, the luster gradually disappeared.
"Elders, through the bloodline crystal, this person's blood resonated with the blood of Lord Huaiyuan. Additionally, there's nothing abnormal. We can confirm that this person is the descendant of Lord Huaiyuan; instead of disguising as a shadow demon!" that deacon reported to the elders respectfully.
After hearing this report, Zhang Tie was so scared that he almost oozed cold sweat all over. Not until then did he know that Huaiyuan Palace used this method to detect the clan bloodline of Huaiyuan Palace. If he still had that shadow demon's genes in his body, he didn't know what would happen.
All the elders nodded. After that, the two deacons put the crystal back into the box and left.
Watching Zhang Tie's slightly changed face, Zhang Mulei who was called 6th granduncle revealed a smile, "Don't worry. This is the rule of Huaiyuan Palace. Almost each disciple of Huaiyuan Palace has to pass this test. In order to maintain the purity of the clan bloodline and the reliability of the key figures in case of outsiders and demons, each clan has such a method. It's not aimed at anyone. "
Hearing the Sixth Granduncle's words … Zhang Tie seized the chance to recover his composure.
"Please forgive me, elders. I've not heard about such a method before. Therefore, I'm a bit shocked!" Zhang Tie replied.
"En, don't be surprised. I called you over this time because I have something to ask you!" Zhang Mulei said.
"What do you want to know, elders? Zhang Tie will tell you everything! "
"Did you awaken another ancestral bloodline a few weeks ago?"
Zhang Tie knew that Huaiyuan Palace was able to detect the awakening of their disciples' bloodlines. Therefore, he was not shocked by this question. He had not imagined that the elders of Huaiyuan Palace were here for this event. Zhang Tie let out a sigh at once.
"Right, this disciple indeed awakened an ancestral bloodline a few weeks ago!"
"What's the ability of this bloodline?" Before the 'Sixth Great Uncle' could speak, another elder in the hall couldn't help but ask.
"Erm …" Zhang Tie became a bit hesitant as he looked around to see whether there were outsiders.
"You don't have to worry. At this moment, apart from the few of us, no one can approach the Ancestral Bloodline Hall without permission. There are also several types of rune equipment set up in the Ancestral Bloodline Hall. Every word you say here, apart from the few elders in the hall, will be heard. Besides the elders in the palace, nobody else could hear your words! "The elder who asked Zhang Tie replied.
After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie replied, "I don't know how to explain it. It seems that this ancestral bloodline could enable disciples to change their looks!"
"Ah? Change their looks?" After hearing this, the three elders became thrilled at once. The elder who asked Zhang Tie just now was a bit impatient. He even sprung up at once. After throwing a glance at the other two elders, he took in a deep breath before sitting down once again.
Zhang Tie didn't know why the other elders were so thrilled.
"Can you show us the ability of this ancestral bloodline?" the 6th granduncle asked mildly.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tie replied. Right under the eyes of the three elders, his hair gradually turned red while his eyes turned dark green. Meanwhile, his skin turned as black as that of Bagdad. The whole process only lasted more than 10 seconds. After these changes, Zhang Tie almost became another human being.
The three elders were shocked. The elder who asked Zhang Tie just now was holding the chair with quivering hands.
After maintaining this state for more than 10 seconds, Zhang Tie's hair started to change color again. This time, his hair turned brown while his eyes turned light golden. His skin also turned into that of Hebrews. Besides his height and look, Zhang Tie changed into another human being.
Finally, Zhang Tie recovered his original look.
"When you transform into those two forms, how long … how long can you maintain it?" Sixth Grand Uncle's voice trembled, which was rare for him.
"Erm, it seems that I can maintain it as long as I want. I feel very natural!" Zhang Tie said as he scratched his head.
"Then … how many times can you use this ability a day?" the other elder asked Zhang Tie while gazing at Zhang Tie.
"Erm, I've not tried it yet. However, I feel that this ability is like breathing. It should be unlimited!" Zhang Tie replied as he changed his eyes into red, yellow, blue, green and other colors. He didn't have any difficulty at all.
"Immortal Bloodline, Immortal Bloodline, the unique Immortal Bloodline..." The elder who asked Zhang Tie immediately sprung up from his chair out of excitement as he raised his hands high. The faces of the other two elders who didn't sprung up from their chairs, including the 6th granduncle, also looked flushed...
