The master of the Du family invited Su Xin to the living room politely. At that moment, there were a group of elders of the Du family and other recruited martial artists in the living room.
The master of the Du family pointed at Su Xin and said, "This is Taoist Master Qing Xuanzi, a newly recruited guest of the Du family. He is very powerful and has already comprehended sword will. Even I might not be able to defeat him."
As soon as he said that, everyone in the Du family was delighted. They did not expect that they would be able to recruit such a powerhouse after recruiting so many guests.
The warriors who had just joined the Du Family were originally a little nervous, but when they saw that even such a powerhouse had joined the Du Family, it was obvious that he had confidence in the Du Family. When they saw this scene, they immediately felt relieved.
The master of the Du family immediately asked someone to prepare a banquet to welcome Su Xin and the guests who had joined the Du family.
At the banquet, Su Xin was naturally the focus of attention. Not only did the master and elders of the Du family frequently toast him, but the guests of the Du family also complimented Su Xin continuously to build a good relationship with him.
However, the only person who was unhappy at the banquet was a Divinity level martial artist who was sitting among the elders of the Du family.
The Divinity level martial artist was about 40 years old. He had a stern look on his face, and it was obvious that he was not someone to get along with.
Although he was sitting among the elders of the Du family, he was not a member of the Du family, but a guest of the Du family.
His name was Wei Changfeng, and he had joined the Du Clan as a guest for more than ten years. It could be said that he had already become one with the Du Clan. His status in the Du Clan was no longer that of a guest, but an elder of the Du Clan. All the other guests that were recruited had to listen to his orders.
Initially, Wei Changfeng enjoyed such a life, but the appearance of Su Xin made him feel a sense of crisis.
His identity was special. It took him more than 10 years to be recognized by the Du family as an outsider.
However, the Taoist in front of him had stolen his limelight as soon as he arrived. In addition to that, Wei Changfeng was worried that the Du family would transfer the right to manage the guests to the Taoist.
It was not impossible. The Du family was famous for being pragmatic. As long as one was capable enough, the Du family would naturally give one the position that one deserved.
For example, the illegitimate son Du Chen, who was not valued at all in the Du family, was listed as one of the successors of the family as soon as he displayed his abilities. The treatment he received was simply earth-shattering.
Now that the Patriarch had said that even he didn't have the confidence to defeat that Daoist, one could only imagine the strength of that Daoist. Perhaps his position would be replaced by that Daoist.
Therefore, Wei Changfeng became more and more displeased as he watched the crowd compliment the Daoist. Amidst the compliments, he could not help but say coldly, "I wonder where Daoist Qing Xuanzi cultivated in the past? There are not many martial artists in the entire River East who can understand sword will at Divinity level. Why I have never heard of you before.
Hearing these interrogative words, everyone present was stunned, and the entire hall immediately fell silent.
The master of the Du family had brought Su Xin here, which obviously meant that he had recognized him as a guest of the Du family. His tone was like an interrogation. It was obvious that he did not come with good intentions.
The master of the Du family said with a grim expression, "Elder Wei, I personally recognized Taoist Qing Xuanzi to join the Du family. There's definitely no problem with his identity. You've crossed the line."
Wei Changfeng stood up and cupped his hands. "Master, I've been in the Du family for more than 10 years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I've been thinking about the Du family wholeheartedly.
Of course, I don't doubt Taoist Qing Xuanzi. However, this is a critical moment in the battle between the Du family and the Zhang family. We can't afford to be careless. "
The master of the Du family rubbed his head. He knew that Wei Changfeng was thinking about the Du family.
However, he was 99% sure that Su Xin was not sent by the Zhang family. If the Zhang family had the help of such a powerful martial artist, they could just attack the Du family directly. Why would they need to go undercover? Wouldn't that be like taking off one's pants to fart?
Therefore, even though he knew that Wei Changfeng was being cautious for the sake of the Du family, he was too embarrassed to question Su Xin lest he offended the expert.
Su Xin chuckled and shook his head. "Master Du, you don't have to worry about it. Elder Wei is just thinking about the safety of the Du family. My background is nothing shameful, so there's nothing to hide.
Although I'm from River East, I rarely show up in the Underworld. Therefore, it's normal that you guys haven't heard of my name because I'm cultivating the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness. "
Hearing what Su Xin said, everyone's faces immediately showed a look of realization. Everything made sense now.
There were countless branches of Daoism. One of them was called the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness. It was a branch of the Dao of Supreme Daoism, which was one of the four sects of Daoism.
The Dao of Supreme Daoism comprehended the Dao and cultivated the mind. Progress was slow, but if one really had an epiphany, their strength would also improve by leaps and bounds.
The Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness was even more extreme. It was said that one had to forget all the emotions in the world and reach a state of no sorrow, no joy, and no fear. Only then could one get closer to the Heavenly Dao and comprehend it.
There were very few people in this branch. Most of the cultivators hid in the deep mountains and forests to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, it was normal that they were strong but not well known.
Su Xin continued, "As for the problem of sword intent, it's even simpler. Although I've comprehended sword intent, I can't just show off to everyone I meet, right?"
The crowd immediately burst into laughter, but Wei Changfeng did not let it go. He said, "Then how can you prove that you're cultivating the Supreme Wang Qing Dao?"
Everyone could not help but frown. This Wei Changfeng was too much. The other party had already explained himself, but he was still unwilling to let it go.
In particular, the elders of the Du Family glared at Wei Changfeng.
From the looks of it, Wei Changfeng is the spy sent by the Zhang Family. What benefits does it bring to the Du Family if this powerful Dao of Supreme Daoism ran away in anger?
At this moment, Su Xin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Since Elder Wei wants to see, then it's nothing."
As soon as he said that, Su Xin's eyes turned hollow, and a cold aura emanated from them.
At this moment, there was no emotion in Su Xin's eyes. There was no sadness, no joy, no fear. It was as if the merciless Heavenly Dao was looking down on all life that was like ants!
This gaze was too terrifying, and it caused everyone present to shiver.
At this moment, the Du Family Head and the others no longer had a trace of doubt. Although they had never seen a warrior who cultivated the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness, who else could have eyes like Su Xin's except for those madmen who cultivated the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness?
At the same time, the Du Family Head rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he did not fight with Su Xin previously.
In fact, the Du Family Head was prepared to spar with Su Xin again to truly determine Su Xin's strength.
However, when facing Su Xin's sword intent in public, he really did not have absolute confidence in winning. If he had lost, it would have been embarrassing. After all, a mercenary was stronger than the Family Head. This was somewhat inexcusable.
Now that the Du Family Head saw this scene, he was even more certain that the strength that Su Xin displayed just now was definitely not all his trump cards. His opponent was a Daoist priest who cultivated the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness. His Daoist mystic technique was definitely stronger than that sword technique.
The emptiness and coldness in Su Xin's eyes receded, and he returned to his original state.
Of course, he did not know the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness. However, Su Xin's True Explanation of Icy Hell was somewhat similar to the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness.
King Chujiang controlled the Icy Hell and judged countless evil spirits in the underworld. He was originally a figure similar to the Heavenly Dao, which was why he had that terrifying gaze of looking down on ants.
Moreover, Su Xin had the Mountain Character Sutra, which amplified this feeling to the extreme. Experts who cultivated the Dao of Supreme Forgetfulness naturally could not be fooled, but it was not a problem to fool the amateurs of the Du Family.
Su Xin looked at Wei Changfeng and said, "Elder Wei, do you have any more questions?"
Wei Changfeng still wanted to say something, but the Du Clan's Patriarch immediately said, "Alright, Elder Wei, this matter ends here."
Seeing the Du Family Head's expression, Wei Changfeng knew that the Du Family Head was really a little angry, so he could only sit back down resentfully.
However, Su Xin was quite grateful to him. It seemed like the people of the Du Family trusted him even more after he made such a scene.
Halfway through the banquet, the Du Family Head specially called out the younger generation of the Du Family for everyone to see.
The Du Family respected strength, so there was more than one successor to the Du Family Head. As long as one was a direct descendant of the Du Family and had enough strength, he could become the successor.
This generation of the Du Family Head had eight successors, but among them, there was a young disciple with a broken blade on his back. He was only at the Qi Hai Realm, and he was standing among the disciples at the Spirit Aperture Realm.
Su Xin's heart skipped a beat. This person should be Du Chen, who had suddenly shocked the world with a single brilliant feat.
Su Xin carefully looked at the broken blade on his back, but he did not find anything strange.
Of course, Su Xin had never seen a Heavenly Weapon before, so he could not be sure if this broken blade was the remains of a Heavenly Weapon or something else. He had to get closer to observe it.
"Go, pay your respects to the seniors. This time, the battle between the Du Family and the Zhang Family will depend on the seniors." The Du Family Head ordered.
"Yes." Du Chen and the others responded and bowed to Su Xin and the other Xiantian Realm retainers.
When Du Chen arrived in front of Su Xin and saluted, Su Xin said to the Du Family's Patriarch, "Patriarch Du, this son of yours is truly extraordinary. The starlight between his brows is dazzling. I'm afraid he has great luck and great fortune. This child will not be an ordinary person in the future."
Although the head of the Du family didn't believe in the so-called fate and good fortune of Daoism, when he heard Su Xin praise his son, the head of the Du family still said proudly, "Daoist priest is too kind. My son's aptitude is dull, but fortunately, he has accumulated a lot of experience and has only recently revealed some extraordinary talent."
