Chapter 749

He saw Nangong Zhantian look toward Jiang Chen, forcibly squeeze a smile onto his face, and continue speaking words against his heart:

"Two thousand years ago, I once entered the ancestral land for closed-door cultivation, and later chanced upon the First Ancestor's inheritance, obtaining this Eight Wastes Sword."

"I had always thought that, with my own talent and aptitude, after obtaining this sword I surely would not let a divine treasure gather dust, yet I never expected that, in the end, it was all my own wild fantasies."

"After arriving at Cangwu Mountain and seeing the younger generation of your clan, I finally understood what a true genius truly looks like."

"Looking at it this way, if I were to keep using the Eight Wastes Sword, it would inevitably be a waste of such a treasure; only by letting this heaven-blessed clansman beside you wield it can its true might be brought to bear."

"He is undoubtedly more suited than I to become the master of the Eight Wastes Sword; I am ashamed to compare........"

Seeing the Eight Wastes Sword taken by the other side was already a foregone conclusion.

Nangong Zhantian did not dare to brazenly demand it back.

He could only helplessly offer a string of praises, in order to mend the relationship.

And after Nangong Zhantian's words fell silent.

Many of the Jiang clan members expressed wholehearted agreement with what Nangong Zhantian had said.

Feeling the tense, swords-drawn atmosphere around him ease somewhat, Nangong Zhantian finally let out a breath of relief.

Seeing that the Jiang clan head seemed quite satisfied with his performance.

He understood the moment had arrived.

Nangong Zhantian cautiously raised his head and cast a glance at Ding Xuan not far away.

Resolve flashed through his eyes.

He immediately turned back, faced Jiang Daoxuan, cupped his fist, and said: "The younger generation of my clan and Ding Xuan, the Prefecture Lord under your command, already had a marriage arrangement many years ago and have a son together; when all is said and done, this is still a case of flooding the Dragon King's temple."

"Prefecture Lord Ding once said you are the number one of Great Qin; I originally did not believe it, but seeing you today I know — what number one of Great Qin? You are clearly the number one of the Nine Kingdoms!"

Having spoken, Nangong Zhantian suddenly shifted his tone: "Since Ding Xuan is fortunate enough to have entered your tutelage and serve you, by virtue of this connection, I am also willing to represent the Nangong family and serve the Cangwu Jiang clan!"

Hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan looked toward Ding Xuan not far away.

With just one glance, Ding Xuan instantly understood and knew what to do.

Thus, he drew a deep breath, cupped his fist, and reported: "Clan Head, my lord, this Nangong family is precisely the maiden family of my wife and son. Not long ago I learned that the Nangong family had lifted their mountain seal, so I rushed to Changfeng Mountain, intending to bring my wife and son out."

"When I encountered the emergence of Ancestor Zhantian, who wished to test himself against the heroes of the world and see how today's strong compare to those of two thousand years ago, I mentioned you, and he specially brought me along to Cangwu Mountain — I hope you will not take offense........"

Although Ding Xuan looked down on the Nangong family's posture.

But in the face of great matters of right and wrong, he could still suppress his personal grievances, and would not lodge complaints before the Clan Head, exposing the Nangong family's shortcomings, so as to preserve face for both sides.
