Chapter 59: What an Entrance—That Felt Great!
The Four Great Sects of Leiling Province.
Ranked first was Xuntian Sect, followed by Haoqi Sect, Yao Sect, and Qingyun Sect.
Xuntian Sect's strength was in a league of its own at the top.
Even the other three sects combined could not match Xuntian Sect.
Now that the Six-Star Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Supporting Purple Gourd, had appeared, everyone knew that the most powerful force in Leiling Province besides the State Governor had arrived.
On that gourd, Pill Master Gu Dan stood with a smile, and beside him was an old man dressed as a steward.
"Grand Steward, we've arrived," Pill Master Gu Dan said with a smile, treating the old man with great deference.
Seeing that old man, the people of the three sects stepped forward one after another.
"Grand Steward, the ten-year deadline has arrived. We are grateful for your trouble."
Bai Fangshan was all smiles. This old man was the chief steward of the State Governor's residence; his name was unknown, and the world called him the Grand Steward.
But his cultivation had reached a level beyond comprehension.
Rumor had it that he had watched the State Governor grow up from childhood, and was the State Governor's Dao Protector.
Even the State Governor of Leiling Province had to show the Grand Steward three parts of respect.
With such a figure arriving, who wouldn't try to curry favor?
Haoqi Sect's Elder Jin Long laughed heartily and stepped forward at once, saying, "Now that the Hundred Tribes have all gathered, we can open the Jiuxuan Blessed Land."
"I wonder how many Heaven's Pride will appear this time. Our Yao Sect would like to take in one or two disciples with decent talent."
The muscular old man from Yao Sect said with a face full of smiles.
The many families below had their eyes gleaming at this moment.
The Hundred Clans Assembly truly lived up to its reputation as a grand event of Leiling Province. The great figures seen today were simply too many to count.
These people were the very pinnacle of Leiling Province!
The Grand Steward narrowed his eyes. With just one glance, he slowly shook his head.
"No, one tribe has yet to arrive," the Grand Steward said lightly, but these words left everyone stunned.
"One tribe still missing? Who is it? Arriving so late—could it be they don't wish to participate?"
Haoqi Sect's Elder Jin Long was quite displeased.
Hearing this, the crowd also began looking around.
At such a grand event, someone was actually late!
"It's the Lin Family!" Ji Changyun shouted at once.
With these words, everyone present turned to look at him in unison.
Ji Changyun let out a sinister smile and continued, "Grand Steward, the Ziyun City Lin Family seized the Hundred Tribes Token from the Liuhuo City Zhou Family, so they have the qualification to attend the Hundred Clans Assembly."
"But the Lin Family has not yet arrived!"
With these words, everyone began to discuss it.
Recently, there had been no shortage of talk about the Lin Family in Leiling Province.
This Lin Family was overbearing and domineering—killing Ji Bo, crushing the Pingtian Trading Guild. Such methods had already drawn considerable attention.
They had assumed the Lin Family would not miss this Hundred Clans Assembly, but unexpectedly, they had yet to arrive.
Could it be that they were truly afraid and didn't dare to come?
The Grand Steward's brow furrowed slightly, seemingly somewhat displeased.
In the crowd, the Xiao Family members of the Three Great Families remained silent.
Regarding the Lin Family, they had some understanding.
"We won't wait. Open the Jiuxuan Blessed Land."
The Grand Steward made his decision on the spot. Just as he was about to head toward the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, at that moment a sword cry came rushing in from the horizon.
"Clang!"
Just a single sword cry.
In an instant, the venue of the Hundred Clans Assembly descended into chaos. Many people's Spirit Swords unsheathed themselves at this moment, letting out trembling hums as if paying homage and responding to the sword cry from the horizon.
"What's going on? Could someone dare to cause trouble at the Hundred Clans Assembly?"
Elder Jin Long was very displeased and immediately looked up.
At the edge of the sky, a streak of rainbow light came rushing over at high speed—it was a Spirit Sword!
"This—this—this..."
Pill Master Gu Dan was startled. He clearly saw there was someone on that sword, and he even recognized that person!
"Oh? They've arrived!" The Grand Steward's old eyes darkened.
The sword howl continued. As the Tianhong Sword came rushing over at tremendous speed, everyone's personal swords involuntarily rose into the air, as if paying homage to the Tianhong Sword!
This was Ten Thousand Swords Paying Homage!
"Finally made it in time."
Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back at the tip of the sword.
Behind him were Lin Xuan, Lin Ya, and Lin Yan, followed by seven juniors of the Lin Family.
Along the way, Lin Feng had flown on his sword.
The Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure: Tianhong Sword inherently possessed the ability to fly on sword, and could just barely accommodate the eleven members of the Lin Family on this trip.
"Flying on sword!"
"How arrogant of that Lin Family!"
"Even the Four Great Sects have never had anyone travel in such a manner!"
"The more arrogant they are, the harder they'll fall later!"
Among the Hundred Tribes, quite a few had already shown hostility.
Clearly, the Lin Family was just a clan like any of theirs, far inferior to the Three Great Families.
What gave them the right to make a grand entrance, let alone in such an overbearingly unmatched manner!
It had even drawn the Ten Thousand Swords Paying Homage.
"Whoosh!"
The sword hum ceased. Lin Feng rode his sword above the crowd, even Pill Master Gu Dan's towering purple-gold gourd was trampled beneath his feet.
The Lin Family members were immensely thrilled—such an entrance was exhilarating!
"Everyone, my Lin Family isn't late, are we?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly, looking down.
He saw that the faces of the Four Great Sects' people had all turned somewhat gloomy.
At this moment, Pill Master Gu Dan gave Lin Feng a look, signaling him not to continue hovering above everyone's heads.
But Lin Feng didn't think it was inappropriate at all.
He calmly looked at the crowd and said: "What are the rules of the Hundred Clans Assembly at Jiuxuan Blessed Land, how does one participate? Please explain!"
"This is my Lin Family's first time participating, we don't have much experience."
Hearing these words, the crowd was even more collectively shocked.
Their first time at the Hundred Clans Assembly, and already this arrogant!
"Lin Clan Leader, come down quickly."
Gu Dan truly had no choice, so he immediately called Lin Feng down.
"It's you!"
Huang Ling'er glared with wide, furious eyes, puffing with anger as she stared at Lin Feng.
"Oh? You actually escaped!"
Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to release Huang Ling'er after the Hundred Clans Assembly ended; he hadn't expected this girl to escape on her own.
"Just you wait, your Lin Family will definitely suffer bitter consequences this time!" Huang Ling'er said through gritted teeth, viciously.
Quite a few families witnessed this scene.
"The Yao Sect actually has a grudge against the Lin Family?"
"Hahaha! Then this Lin Family is in for bad luck!"
"Doesn't that Young Master of the Yun Family always pursue Huang Ling'er? In that case…"
The crowd buzzed with discussion. Sure enough, on a Black Boat, beneath a flagpole bearing the character "Yun," a young man narrowed his eyes, and a cold, fierce killing intent swept toward the Lin Family.
"Enough!"
Seeing a conflict about to break out, the Grand Steward immediately shouted.
A wisp of extremely powerful Spirit Qi instantly spread out, and everyone present fell silent.
Even the people of the Four Great Sects stopped talking one after another.
Lin Feng's eyes darkened—this old man likely had the cultivation of the Dao Merging Realm.
How powerful!
"Considering this is your Lin Family's first time participating in the Hundred Clans Assembly, I shall explain the rules of the Hundred Clans Assembly to you."
The Grand Steward stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping imperiously.
