The World Of Swords Volume 1 Chapter 22

The world of martial arts was full of chaos. Although Di Hongtian had a certain degree of confidence, he didn’t want direct confrontation at this time. Moreover, the ancestor of the Wu family would pa.s.s away soon; it was better for him to remain in the Wu family, honestly. Early in the morning, in the mist were some big swords inserted in the earth, like some giants hiding in the vagueness. Pa.s.sing through the foggy forest, two carriages arrived at the Wu family very early. "The elder Mr. Qi is back!" In the family, a group of disciples poured in with cheers and helped to unload the goods. Wu Lingfeng stood with another elder, chatting and watching the disciples excitedly delivering the goods. The Jianzhonglin Clan was located in a remote place. Although the disciples of the Wu family were martial arts pract.i.tioners, their daily necessities needed to be delivered from outside every day. The elder Mr. Qi was responsible for such an issue. However, since they were daily necessities with low values, he would not escort in person. Although the Wu family was only a small family, there were many people in the world of martial arts coming for refuge, and the elder Mr. Qi was just one of them. There were many like him and they served as the guest elders in the Wu family. However, most of them were dispatched by the ancestor to deal with some conventional issues outside. The Wu family was a big clan with considerable daily expenses, so it naturally needed some industries for financial support. Moreover, if a family wanted growth and development, force was only a part of it and financial resources were also indispensable. When going out, Di Hongtian found everyone was in a hurry because the elder Mr. Qi was personally escorting so many articles this time. "The Elder and Brother!" He walked over to the wagon and said h.e.l.lo to Wu Lingfeng and the elder Mr. Qi. "Tian, you are so wonderful that all the masters of the world of martial arts are going crazy searching for you," the elder Mr. Qi said with a smile. "They just want to seize the Sword Zhongfeng." He shook his head. He knew very well that unless there was any special purpose, the Sword Zhongfeng would be more important than him in the eyes of the masters in the world of martial arts. "Elder Mr. Qi, as for those who know my ident.i.ty outside the Wu family, please remind them to never leak it out." Di Hongtian seemed to be slightly worried. He had already imagined the consequences beforehand because he didn’t want to get the Wu family involved in the trouble. However, unless he was separated from the Wu family, there would be no way to avoid it. He intended never to return once he left the Wu family, but he did not expect the ancestor of the family to fall ill at this time. In any case, he had no choice but to come back. "Don’t worry, they are all trustworthy brothers and they know the seriousness of the matter," Mr. Qi comforted him. Although Di Hongtian still had some hidden worries, he had nothing more to complain about, so he was going to help unload the goods when a crisp noise was heard nearby. "Fifth Elder Brother!" Wu Meier had changed into a white dress and strode toward him. "Meier!" Di Hongtian smiled. Wu Lingfeng took out a sachet and said to her, "Meier, you have been worried about your ancestor these days without getting any good sleep, so I asked the elder Mr. Qi to bring you a scented sachet." "Lady Lingfeng had reminded me that he had spent great efforts on the sachet, so it’s quite significant for you." The elder laughed. Wu Meier's face flushed quickly and she looked at Di Hongtian self-consciously. But he had stepped aside to help move the parcels. Since Wu Lingfeng had already placed the sachet into her hand, so she had to accept it because she didn’t want to let him down. Since all the disciples had cultivated with real vitality and enough strength, the two wagons’ cargoes were quickly moved. Then, Elder Mr. Qi went to discuss some issues with the ancestor of the Wu family while the other disciples rushed to the canteen for breakfast. They got up very early and kept practicing for the whole morning, so they were hungry then. "Tian, come join us," Wu Lingfeng greeted him. "No, thanks, I am not hungry, but help yourself." Di Hongtian shook his head and headed for the left side of the Wu family house.  “Fifth Elder Brother, where are you going?” Wu Meier followed up and asked him.  “To have a look in the Sword Building!” Di Hongtian answered.  "Well, did Grandpa allow you to go there?" Wu Meier was surprised. "I’ll go with you.” Looking at their figures, Wu Lingfeng fell into silence. "Big Brother, what is going on?" Two disciples walked ahead beside Wu Lingfeng and frowned. The Sword Building was a forbidden place for the Wu family, which could only be accessed for its own disciples. Apart from the ancestor, n.o.body except for Wu Meier could access it freely. "Our big brother had never been allowed to enter the Sword Building, so how come our ancestor allowed an outsider to enter?"  “Yes, at least we’re the disciples of the Wu family.” Most of the disciples were orphans who were adopted by the Wu family, so they were given the surname of Wu. "The ancestor is too unfair. . . " The two disciples were complaining of unfairness on behalf of Wu Lingfeng. "Stop complaining and take your breakfast," Wu Lingfeng scolded restlessly. The Sword Building was not built on the ground; instead, it sat upon a giant sword inserted into the earth upside down. The giant sword was more than twenty feet long and two feet wide, as if a stone wall. At the end of the hilt, the s.p.a.ce was as wide as three square feet with a two-story building on it. The Sword Building! In the Sword Building were stored many martial arts acquired by the Wu family ancestors. In addition, there were also some amazing skills and arts that the Wu family collected through various methods in the past years, including the most powerful martial arts of the Wu family, the Tianxiang Sword Art. Standing over there, Di Hongtian carefully observed the giant sword in front of him, but he did not find anything special. It seemed that it was no different from the other swords of the Jianzhonglin Clan. He learned from the ancestor of the Wu family that this giant sword had extraordinary features, but even if he knew it was extraordinary, he could not find anything special. The ancestor of the Wu family told him that the Wu family originated from the giant sword. They constructed the Sword Building on it to hide the secret of this sword and make this land a forbidden place without raising any suspicions.  "Fifth Elder Brother, has my grandfather told you the secret of this sword?” Wu Meier asked when she saw him carefully observing the giant sword. "Yeah!" He nodded, then asked curiously, "Is there room in the sword?" "What would it be like if I practice inside the sword?" Wu Meier grinned and said, "Since Grandpa has allowed you to go in for practice, then you just go ahead and try by yourself." "Yes, the first time you practice inside will result in an obvious effect. You shouldn’t miss it." "Oh?" Di Hongtian turned to look at Wu Meier, seemingly suspicious while a little eager.  “Go ahead!” He moved the real vitality of his body into his legs and slightly bent them to spring up so that he jumped up and headed for the sword building.
