Chapter 393: At the foot of the Hill of Swords
Sean and his companions were no exception!
After a whole night of medicinal bath, the bright energy within Sean’s core had recovered nearly half. Although it was still far from its peak, it should be enough to deal with those whom the Mason family had won over.
“Sir!”
When Sean came out of the attic, Howard Taylor had already led their family’s middle-stage and late-stage cultivators waiting outside the door. There were more than a dozen people, among them, there were two young boys in their teens!
These two! They were the descendants of the Taylor family, at the age to activate their bloodline. Therefore, Howard Taylor hoped to start their martial arts journey with today’s ceremony!
In an instant! Everyone’s gaze was focused on Sean, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity!
Last night! After Sean entered the mansion, he went straight to the attic and did not attend the banquet that Howard Taylor had prepared. No one had seen Sean’s true face from beginning to end, let alone knew Sean’s real identity!
At the banquet! Howard Taylor tried to inquire from Tim Lewis and Spirit Wolf, but they both kept their mouths shut, not revealing a single clue!
This! Invisibly increased the intense curiosity of Howard Taylor and others!
Originally! They thought today was an opportunity!
However! When they actually saw Sean himself, including Howard Taylor, all the members of the Taylor family were greatly disappointed!
Damn! On Sean’s face at this time, he was actually wearing a wolf mask!
In sight! Sean’s figure was sturdy, standing upright like a pine, quite a bit awe-inspiring. The eye holes of the wolf mask were hollowed out, revealing Sean’s pair of pitch-black and icy eyes!
“The matter of the medicinal herbs, Mr. Taylor has taken a lot of trouble!”
Sean looked at Howard Taylor. Without the help of the medicinal bath, he definitely could not have recovered to this extent in such a short night!
“All of this is what I should do, sir, you don’t have to be polite!”
Howard Taylor hurriedly said, “Rather, it’s because of our Taylor family’s affairs that we have implicated the sir. As soon as the sir arrived in Swordland, he became an enemy of the Mason family…”
“Rest assured, sir!”
“Today!”
“If we are lucky enough to keep the five Hill of Swords cave spots for our Taylor family, I’d like to give three spots to the sir, and hope to keep the other two for our Taylor family to have successors…”
Saying this! Howard Taylor reached into his chest and pulled out a token made of gold and jade. It was the Hill of Swords cave totem that Jason Buosont demanded last night!
The totem! It is the only credential to climb the Hill of Swords and enter the cave!
Sean did not refuse!
He took the gold and jade totem and looked at it for a few moments!
In sight!
In the middle of the front of the totem was a pattern, and on the back was a number 5, representing that with this totem, the Taylor family has five spots in the Hill of Swords cave!
And under the number 5, there were a row of numbers!
For example! 18, 24, 49, 63, 71, these numbers correspond to those caves in the Hill of Swords!
For example! 18 refers to the eighth cave on the first layer!
24 refers to the fourth cave on the second layer!
And so on!
The caves in the Hill of Swords were divided into nine layers from bottom to top. Each layer had nine caves. The higher the cave, the richer the spiritual energy, the greater the help to those who enter, and naturally, the higher the value!
All these! Sean had already heard from Spirit Wolf, so he understood the meaning of the gold and jade totem at a glance!
“Good!”
Sean casually put the gold and jade totem into his chest, turned his head and looked at those two young boys in their teens, then said, “The spots that belong to your Taylor family will definitely be preserved!”
“I mean! Definitely!”
“And what you can get today will not be just two spots!”
Hearing this! The hearts of all the members of the Taylor family trembled violently, they didn’t know where Sean’s confidence came from, but they clearly knew what a difficult situation they were about to face!
Preserve the spots?
Perhaps! It’s not as simple as he said!
Even! Whether he could keep his life on this journey, whether he could return alive, was all an unknown quantity!
“We mustn’t delay!”
“Let’s go!”
Sean understood their worries and their fears, but he chose not to explain, instead turning to sit in one of the luxury cars.
Originally! Sean had wanted to secure two spots in the Hill of Swords caves. Howard Taylor was willing to give up three, which would have been more than enough!
But now! Sean had changed his mind!
The highest level in the Taylor family’s totem caves was the seventh, but Sean wanted to go to the ninth level of the cave!
Even! He wished to ascend directly to the peak of Hill of Swords, to take in the view from the summit!
In the car! Cecilia and Phyllis were already waiting. The reason for bringing mother and daughter together to the Hill of Swords was simple: one was unconscious and the other was too young to protect herself. Swordland was the domain of the Mason family. Leaving them at the Taylor family’s place, Sean didn’t feel secure at all!
What if! When Sean and the practitioners from the Taylor family were away, the Mason family staged an attack on the Taylor family? The consequences were unthinkable!
Moreover! After the matter of Hill of Swords was resolved, Sean planned to go directly with Cecilia to Sunsetting Ridge. He didn’t want to return to the Taylor family, as it would waste too much time!
“This…”
As Sean, Pupil Wolf, Julia and others got into the car and slowly left the Taylor House, Howard Taylor wanted to ask, but held back, “Sir, where is the other Complete Stage practitioner with you?”
The battle of the previous night!
Jason Buosont had lunged at the luxury car that Sean was in, but was repelled on the spot. Howard Taylor, like everyone else, thought that there should be another Complete Stage practitioner inside the car, in addition to Tim Lewis!
But! They had never seen one!
He wanted to ask! But he dared not!
Words on the tip of his tongue, Howard Taylor swallowed them back, waving his hand, indicating, “Let’s go, to Hill of Swords!”
So!
More than a dozen dark energy practitioners from the Taylor family got into the cars, following behind Sean’s luxury car, rushing straight to Hill of Swords…
…
Hill of Swords! Over a thousand feet high, ten miles around, just standing firmly there, it gave an incredibly solemn and sacred feeling that involuntarily inspired awe!
At eight in the morning! The area at the foot of Hill of Swords was already crowded with people, bustling and noisy, countless citizens of Swordland came to watch the ceremony!NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
According to the old rules set by the major families of Swordland, the 81 caves of Hill of Swords were jointly controlled by more than a dozen major families. If outside forces wanted to get a spot, they had to either trade with these major families or challenge the people from the major families that owned the cave spots!
So! Every festival day, there were always foreign forces challenging, providing continuous entertainment!
Even! At the foot of Hill of Swords on the west side, at the entrance of the Panlong Steps, there were two specially set up challenge stages. The challenger and the defender publicly fought on the stage, the winner could ascend the Panlong Steps and enter the caves of Hill of Swords!
“Look!”
“They’re here, they’re here!”
“That’s Mason family’s motorcade, the people from Mason family are here!!!”
In the crowd! Someone suddenly shouted, setting off a butterfly effect, causing the already noisy scene to become even more heated!
You could see! A motorcade slowly drove from Swordland, the line of cars was long, with dozens of luxury cars, seen from a distance, it looked like a long dragon winding its way towards Hill of Swords!
That! Not just the Mason family’s motorcade, but also the Harris family of Crane’s motorcade, and the motorcades of the various major families who were in league with the Mason family. They had previously maintained secret contacts and colluded privately, but today, since it was time to show their cards, there was naturally no need to sneak around anymore!
After today! They! Will be the controllers of the entire Hill of Swords and the whole of Swordland!!!
