First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 282: The Tian Family's Discussion

"Kang chi!"

The spiritual sword inserted in the shoulder was pulled out by Shen Mo.

Immediately, a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.

Blood flowed like a river!

The Red Carp Inner Armor and the Green Soul Robe were pierced at the shoulder blades by the spiritual sword, causing damage.

The Green Soul Robe had the "Self-healing" effect, so there was no need for repairs. It would repair itself.

The Red Carp Inner Armor, on the other hand, needed some repairs.

However, this inner armor was originally of a lower grade, and the basic casting of the embryo was not outstanding.

Shen Mo had already refined it again and improved its quality.

At present, it would be difficult to achieve a qualitative leap by spending precious spiritual gold to refine it again.

Compared to his powerful physique, the defense it could provide was limited, so Shen Mo intended to replace it.

"Stop resisting!"

Shen Mo grabbed the hilt of the spiritual sword and felt the struggling sword spirit within.

Then, his finger, carrying a strand of Purple Mansion spiritual power, flicked the sword body heavily.

"Clang!"

The spiritual sword let out a mournful cry.

Finally, it understood the saying "a knife in the hands of others, I am fish on the chopping block" and no longer resisted violently.

Shen Mo's divine sense also entered the sword body.

The spirit in the sword wanted to stop him, but naturally, it was taught a lesson and could only shrink and sob.

Before long, Shen Mo roughly understood the nature of this sword.

The forging materials, the structure, the engraved inscriptions... many useful pieces of information.

"No wonder it can ignore the blockade of my sword formation. It turns out it has the characteristic of the flow of virtual and real sword intent."

"Unfortunately, Tian Hong's cultivation is not up to par, so he can't unleash the full power of this sword!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to capture him."

After pondering for a while, Shen Mo used a ghost's giant handprint to imprison the spiritual sword.

He then attached a prohibition talisman and put it into his Qiankun Bag.

He didn't have the intention of claiming this spiritual-grade magic sword for himself.

Because there was a spirit in the sword.

Therefore, Shen Mo could use "Insight into All Beings" on it.

After this special divine sense probing, Shen Mo learned that this sword was the sword worn by the previous heads of the Tian family.

If he were to take the Flowing Shadow Sword, it would undoubtedly give the Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse of the Tian family an excuse to openly attack him.

In addition, with his cultivation, he couldn't forcibly sever the connection between the sword spirit and Tian Hong.

Unless he used the Soul Binding Curse to bind the sword spirit.

Or use the Soul Annihilation Curse to kill it!

But if he did that, the Flowing Shadow Sword he obtained would only be a flying sword slightly better in quality than a Profound Grade top-grade sword, which wouldn't be very meaningful.

It would be better to confiscate it and use it as a trump card to threaten the Tian family.

The injury on his shoulder had already healed quite a bit under the activation of the Blood Essence Origin derived from the Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Art.

With a thought, he increased the power of the sword formation.

He said lightly, "Tian Clan Leader, as for the matter of you injuring me with the spiritual sword, we will settle it later!"

"Let's first resolve the previous dispute."

"Will your Tian family pay more than 70,000 spiritual stones, or will you willingly accept the blame for the crime of the Demon entering the city?"

Shen Mo's meaning was clear: either pay the spiritual stones or accept the blame for the Demon entering the city and harming the people, which has nothing to do with your Tian family!

If you don't want to pay the spiritual stones, then honestly admit your guilt and accept the punishment.

Choose one of the two!

...

Inside the Tian family mansion.

Tian Hong's face turned pale as he was blocked by someone demanding debt at his door.

Even the clan leader's sword was confiscated.

This made him feel embarrassed.

And standing below him were more than ten Tian family members at the Qi Gathering Realm.

Similar to the Liu and Wu families in Sishui City, most of the Tian family's exceptional talents were cultivating within the Linjiang Sect.

The rest were mostly average people who couldn't make a name for themselves even after joining the Linjiang Sect.

It was better to stay in the ancestral land of the Tian family and cultivate the family's heritage.

With a history of five hundred years.

Although the Tian family's inherited techniques, scriptures, resources, etc., were not as good as those of the Linjiang Sect, they were not inferior to ordinary small sects.

However, at present, none of these more than ten Tian family members at the Qi Gathering Realm dared to go out and fight Shen Mo.

After all, they were not stupid.

Just the sword formation hanging above their heads could easily kill them.

And even the clan leader had used the family's spiritual sword without any success, and it was confiscated by that person outside.

In this situation, wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they went out?

"Clan leader, why not pay off the owed spirit stones, clear the blame of being associated with demons, and deceive that brat away. We can think of a way to deal with him later!"

A Tian family member spoke up and advised.

Tian Hong glared at him fiercely and said impatiently, "If you're willing to pay the more than seventy thousand spirit stones, you can go out and negotiate with that kid."

The Tian family member who spoke earlier immediately shut his mouth.

What a joke, even if he sold everything he owned, he couldn't come up with that amount of resources.

"Then please Brother Zhiyu come back, he is one of the core disciples of the Linjiang Sect, and he should be able to suppress this Shen Mo!"

The person he referred to as Brother Zhiyu was named Tian Zhiyu.

He was one of the nine core disciples of the Linjiang Sect and was cultivating at the Xuri Peak, reaching the Spiritual Sea Realm.

But Tian Hong shook his head and said, "This matter... it's not appropriate for Zhiyu to intervene!"

"In the future, he will compete with the other eight core disciples for the position of Sect Master and Peak Master."

"If he is tainted with the stain of disregarding the interests of the family and the sect, I'm afraid he will be attacked for this matter at that time!"

After thinking for a while, Tian Hong's expression became serious, as if he had made up his mind.

"The clan leader's sword must not be lost!"

"As for the spirit stones, even if it's not seventy thousand, that brat won't be able to take a single one from our Tian family."

"Third Uncle is still in the Tian Mountain City in Zhongzhou, and he will be able to return to Qingzhou in a few days."

"Without mentioning his position as an elder of the Mingyue Peak, just his cultivation at the Spiritual Sea Realm is enough to deal with this brat!"

The Tian family had three Spiritual Sea Realm powerhouses.

The strongest in cultivation was naturally the head of the Immortal Affairs Hall, Tian Zhaoquan.

But he was busy with his affairs and was being watched by many people due to his high position, so it was impossible for him to personally come to Hongye City to help the family.

The core disciple of the Linjiang Sect, Tian Zhiyu, also had many inconveniences.

Only the elder of the Mingyue Peak, Tian Qisheng, had an average future and didn't have many concerns!

"Third Grandfather is a Second Heaven Realm powerhouse in the Spiritual Sea Realm. A mere Qi Gathering Realm cultivator is nothing to him."

"That's right. That brat thinks our Tian family is defenseless?"

"Please quickly inform Third Grandfather..."

Tian Hong didn't delay any longer and took out a sound transmission talisman to inform Tian Qisheng in Zhongzhou about the situation.

Not long after, Tian Qisheng sent back a message.

"Don't be stingy with the consumption of spirit stones. Activate the family's defensive formation to its fullest power. I will return tomorrow!"

With the speed of the Spiritual Sea Realm, it wouldn't take much time to rush from the Linjiang Sect to Hongye City.

However, flying directly from Zhongzhou would take at least three or four days.

Therefore, Tian Qisheng needed to return to the Linjiang Sect first through the teleportation array and then wait for the return journey to the sect to open.
