Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Thousands of people gathered in the Ye Family's plaza on Mist Island. Ye Xuan and the remaining six elders appeared above, with the members of the other nine halls below. Except for the Earth Hall, the masters of the other eight halls stood at the front of their respective teams. Because Ye Tianchen had left early, there was a vacancy at the front of the Earth Hall. Each clansman brought their spirit race servant, and the people from the Guardian Hall stood on both sides of the teams.

Ye Xuan looked around and said, "Ye Family members, since the Ye Family's revival, everyone has endured years of hardship. The great era of competition is coming, and our Ye Family cannot be absent. From today onwards, anyone who wishes can go out and seek their own opportunities. Remember the clan rules after you leave, hide the clan纹on your foreheads. The Ye Family is the strongest backing for all of you. Depart!" After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and over a hundred flying ships appeared above Mist Island. Each flying ship was enormous, covering most of the sky above Mist Island. Some Ye Family members flew towards the spirit ships with one servant and one guardian, some in groups of two or three with a dozen people riding one ship, and some did not choose the spirit ships and flew directly on their swords.

At this moment, in the core residence of the Liu Family, several Liu Family elders were sitting in a grand hall, facing the people from the Zhang Family who had arrived. The First Elder of the Liu Family said, "Distinguished guests from the Zhang Family, your arrival at the Liu Family today brings honor to our humble abode."

The First Elder of the Zhang Family raised his hand, took out a spatial ring, and placed it on the table, saying, "This is our Zhang Family's betrothal gift. Brother Liu, please take a look." The First Elder of the Liu Family examined it with his divine sense, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face. Inside were countless rare heavenly materials, earthly treasures, elixirs, and spirit stones.

"The Zhang Family is indeed generous. This marriage between our two families will surely become a legendary tale in Zhongzhou," the First Elder of the Liu Family said with a smile.

"Senior, I wonder where Xingyao is now? We have been here for an hour, but we still haven't seen Xingyao's figure." It was the young master of the Zhang Family who spoke this time, the main character of this marriage.

The First Elder of the Liu Family turned his head to look at the Third Elder. Liu Xingyao was his direct descendant. The Third Elder said with a smile, "Young Master Zhang, please be patient. I have already sent people to dress Xingyao up. She will come out to greet you all soon."

The First Elder of the Liu Family also saw the unease of the Zhang Family members, so he said slowly, "Fellow Daoists from the Zhang Family, we have prepared a sumptuous banquet in the front hall for you. The family head will also be there in a moment. Please go to the front hall first." As he spoke, the First Elder of the Liu Family stood up and made a gesture of invitation. The Zhang Family members didn't say much and entered the front hall with the Liu Family members.

In Liu Xingyao's cave dwelling, Aunt Lan was dressing her up. Liu Xingyao looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her three thousand strands of black hair piled high, her eyebrows and eyes powdered, her red lips slightly parted. She was simply a beauty that could topple kingdoms, a person from a painting, but she didn't have a trace of a smile.

Aunt Lan behind her stopped her movements, looked at Liu Xingyao in the mirror, and said slowly, "Miss, you are so beautiful today!" Liu Xingyao didn't speak, reached into her bosom, took out a small wooden sword, and stared at it blankly. The small wooden sword was given to her by Ye Tianchen when they first met, and she had kept it until now.

Aunt Lan felt quite uncomfortable seeing this scene. She concealed her sadness and said to Liu Xingyao, "Miss, it's getting late, we should go out. After you leave, I will take Xiaomeng away."

Liu Xingyao handed the small wooden sword in her hand to Aunt Lan and said, "Take this to him too."

In the front hall, the Liu Family Head sat in the main seat, with the Zhang Family members on the left and the Liu Family members on the right. Various delicacies and fine wines were placed on rows of tables. The hall was filled with the clinking of glasses, laughter, and lively chatter. Just then, a figure rushed in from the entrance, "Family Head, there are guests visiting outside. Please decide what to do."

"Can't you tell the urgency of the matter? Who is visiting? Where are they now?" the Liu Family Head asked impatiently.

"There are less than twenty people, riding a spirit ship. The spirit ship is still outside the clan's protective array," the messenger said quickly.

"Did you ask them who they are? Why are they here? Say it all at once," the Liu Family Head said sternly.

"They said they are from the Ye Family. There is also a bright red flag on the spirit ship with only one word 'Ye' on it. They said they are here for Miss Xingyao, saying they want to marry Miss Xingyao." The messenger's voice was so low at the end that only he could hear it, but everyone present heard it clearly. What level of cultivation were the people present? Two angry shouts rang out at the same time, "Impudence!" One was from the Liu Family Head, and the other was from the Young Master of the Zhang Family. "What Ye Family? I've never heard of them. How dare they come to my Liu Family to cause trouble? Nephew Zhang, please be calm. I'll go handle it. Let's go." He led the Liu Family elders and flew out of the hall. The Young Master of the Zhang Family also said, "Elders, let's go out and see what kind of audacious people dare to snatch my woman." Saying that, he also flew out.

At this moment, Liu Xingyao was the most shocked. Someone named Ye came to find her. She turned her head to look at Aunt Lan beside her and said, "Aunt Lan, could it be him?"

"Miss, with their strength, even if they can find this place, are they trying to strike a stone with an egg?" Aunt Lan sighed.

"Aunt Lan, I'm still worried. Let's take a look from afar. If it's not him, then forget it," Liu Xingyao said uneasily.

When Liu Xingyao and Aunt Lan arrived in the distance, a corner of the Liu Family's protective array was opened. They saw two groups of people confronting each other in the distance. One side was the Liu Family and the Zhang Family, and the other side was a group of nineteen people. Because the distance was too far, they could only vaguely see the number of people. Just as she was about to move forward to see clearly, she heard a full-bodied voice penetrate the Liu Family, "Xingyao, I, Ye Tianchen, am going back on my word. Today, I'm here to take you back to the Ye Family."

When Liu Xingyao heard this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, her heart was in turmoil. She rushed over desperately. Aunt Lan behind her couldn't stop her and shouted, "Miss, you're harming him!"

At this moment, the Young Master of the Zhang Family was furious, "Boy, you're courting death." Saying that, he made a move. A long spear appeared in his hand, and a spear light with flames rushed straight towards Ye Tianchen. Seeing this, Ye Tianchen joined his two fingers like a sword, and a sword qi met the spear light. With a flip of his hand, a heaven-grade magic sword appeared in his hand, throwing it into the air, turning it into a three-zhang-long sword and slashing towards the Young Master of the Zhang Family. The Great Elder of the Zhang Family shouted, "Young Master, be careful!" Saying that, he made a move to block Ye Tianchen's attack.
