"Dear guests be welcome to the Zhang family!"
After the guard gave the welcome, Bao Zhang along with his mother and Honoka could enter the Zhang family and observe the surroundings.
The Zhang family was undoubtedly one of the great noble families of the Zhou kingdom, since its territory stretched to the horizon, encompassing several mountains and some forests shared with other families. It was undoubtedly an incredibly extensive territory where hundreds of families who work for the Zhang family lived in different sections.
Then, while Bao Zhang was observing the surroundings, he observes how an old man with a white beard and with outstanding clothes came flying at high speed.
The old man was patriarch Zhang, old Zhang.
Bao Zhang watched with great interest how the Old Zhang, who is his supposed grandfather, let out a cry of surprise at seeing his expressionless Mother Qiuyue.
Old Zhang was left with a fancifully silly expression, as he observed his 'alleged disappeared daughter-in-law' who had lived for some time in the fifth floral mountain of the Zhang family several years ago, but she left with her children to the incredible Sect of the Golden Sword and never returned.
And now that he found her again, old Zhang could feel slightly the incredible Xuan energy that Qiuyue seemed to hide inside.
'Maybe ... she has already entered the Xuan Spirit Realm!?' It was the question that Old Zhang shouted internally when he saw Qiuyue.
Old Zhang could not help but shudder at this assumption that seemed correct since even though he was in the realm of the True Spirit Realm Higher, he still could not discern Qiuyue's cultivation level.
It was as if Qiuyue's cultivation level was hidden with a strange cloud that enveloped her and what did not allow Old Zhang discern Qiuyue's true level of cultivation.
What did this imply?
It was simple, this implied that Qiuyue had already overcome and surpassed Old Zhang in the cultivation level.
During these last years, neither the old Zhang, who is the current patriarch of the Zhang family, neither the other patriarchs of the distinguished families had managed to break through the True Spirit Realm.
None of them had been able to enter the Xuan spirit Realm.
But now in front of the old Zhang, there was his former daughter-in-law who had not yet reached 50 years of cultivation, and already in only a few years since she had left the fifth floral mountain. She had already made her way to the Xuan Spirit Realm, managing to surpass him and all the other patriarchs.
No doubt, this proved and confirmed the amazing talent of Qiuyue Wu.
With a complicated and somewhat silly expression, not knowing how to deal with his daughter-in-law who was younger and who had overcome him, old Zhang spoke;
"I should call you ... Elder Qiuyue now, right?"
Qiuyue listened and let out a snort:
"I make it clear that I only came back here with the sole purpose of accompanying my son on his visit, I did not come here because I would like to return to this family"
Old Zhang went blank for a second, he did not expect those words from his 'daughter-in-law', but then he reacted to the words 'I came back here with the sole purpose of accompanying my son on his visit'.
Immediately the old Zhang observed the two young guys who were behind Qiuyue.
One was a young brat with black hair, green eyes, black tunic, and a strange hat. And the other was a girl expressionless but pretty, with a hair that rocked slightly with the wind and a book embraced in her arms.
Seeing the anxious look of old Zhang, Bao Zhang stepped forward and bowed politely:
"Nice to meet you, my name is Bao Zha-
But Bao Zhang did not have time to react when old Zhang moved at incredible speed and stood in front of him, watching him intently up and down, with ... strange bright eyes.
What the hell?
"Muahahahaha being so young, you are already in the High Soul Realm, no doubt, an excellent grandson, I have an excellent grandson to succeed me in my position as patriarch haha!"
Bao Zhang was stunned by the sudden change of frame of mind of old Zhang, passing from an old man with a complicated expression seeing his mother to an old man with bright eyes when he saw him.
What the hell is wrong with this old man? Apart from this, where is that shit-father?
Bao Zhang took a few steps back in an attempt to get away from the strange, bright-eyed old man, although he knew that this old man was his maternal grandfather. He was the god of lust in his old life and could not try to 'grandfather' to an old man of which he had no memories
(Bao Zhang as a child stayed with his sisters in the fifth floral mountain next to his mother, so Bao Zhang did not meet Old Zhang on almost any occasions)
Old Zhang placed his hands tightly on both shoulders of Bao Zhang and with bright eyes said:
"Hahaha, my excellent grandson, you will undoubtedly be an excellent patriarch who can have many successor sons and bring up the Zhang family! Remember Bao, do not be like Grandpa and make the mistake of will having a shit as an only child. You must have many children, How much more children you have better!"
Immediately, Qiuyue and Honoka were left with their eyes blank when they saw how an old grandfather encourages his grandson to have children.
While Bao Zhang remained still as a stone, but soon recover and form a slight smile on his face;
"Take it for granted, that's what I'll do," Bao Zhang muttered silently so that only old Zhang could hear.
Listening to him, old Zhang burst into a happy big laugh and banged hard on the back of Bao Zhang, happy for his grandson.
While Bao Zhang somehow found old Zhang, his supposed grandfather, more pleasant.
'Having many children Hmm~ well, that was my idea since I re-born in this body hehe'
...
Meanwhile, in the vicinity of the First Mountain within the Sect of the Golden Sword.
"We started the operation"
Four men completely dressed in shadows with masks wearing the numbers 1,2,4,9 on one side were a kilometer away from the First Mountain, watching the movements of the guards protecting the First Mountain.
Surprisingly all the guards that could be felt gave off an incredibly strong Xuan energy.
"Shadow No. 1"
Shadow No.1 who reacted to the call, stopped to take a small violet-colored crystal pill from his pocket and then...
He put it in his mouth and swallowed it...
"Hugg!"
Immediately the Shadow No.1, felt as the pill began to take effect inside his body.
The three Shadows that continued watching carefully for the Shadow No.1 to swallow the pill after confirming that he actually swallowed it.
"Shadow No. 2, your turn ..."
"Yes"
Immediately, Shadow No.2 positioned himself in a race position, squeezed his knuckles and shot full speed towards the East side of the First Mountain.
Shadow No.2 circulated his Xuan energy and immediately his body was surrounded by an incredible pressure that enveloped him and made his speed increase at a speed that seemed impossible to follow with the simple sight.
But then…
"Stop!"
"Intruder!"
Dozens of guards who were hidden in the vicinity of the first mountain made their appearance and releasing their impressive Xuan energy, then gave chase to the Shadow No.2 that continued running forward at a great speed and disappeared in the distance with dozens of guards following behind.
Not even two seconds passed when the sounds of an intense fight in the distance were heard.
"Shadow No.4, your turn"
Shadow No.4 repeated the same action as Shadow No.2 and surrounding himself with an impressive Xuan energy, then shot at incredible speed towards the west area of the first mountain, side contradicted Shadow No. 2.
But it did not take a second for another group of guards with impressive 'Xuan energies' to chase Shadow No.4, while a few guards who had remained hidden left their hiding place and released several Xuan energy pressures to get on alert.
What was the reason for these actions of the Shadows?
The number of guards that protected the First Mountain was a large number of dozens of guards but more than half of the guards had been attracted by Shadows No. 2 and 4, managing to drive them away and leave only a few guards to protect the central road to the First Mountain.
"Your turn No. 9"
The Shadow No.9 completely released his energy and ran at full speed towards the last group of guards that were protecting the central road.
"My turn…"
Shadow No.1 clenched his fists and his eyes turned blood red, while his Xuan energy shot up twice as much as his cultivation. This was the effect of the pill that Shadow No.1 had swallowed at the beginning of the mission.
With his amplified Xuan energy the 'Shadow No.1' clenched his teeth and ran at a speed even greater than the other Shadows, leaving behind him a great avalanche of earth caused by his force of momentum on his feet.
It did not take a second for the Shadow No.1 to catch a glimpse of the Shadow No.9 attracting the last guards left in the center of the mountain and being surrounded by them.
Undoubtedly, Shadow No.9 could not resist that cornered. But this was the mission of Shadows No.2, 4 and 9, his job was to attract as many guards, while the Shadow No.1 manages to enter the first mountain.
Ignoring Shadow No.9 who was being killed by the guards, Shadow No.1 increased his speed and entered the forbidden interior of the mountain…
