Chapter 285: Invoking the Clan-Protecting Divine Weapon

At this moment, everyone from the Shang Family completely changed their attitude towards Shang Luoyun.

At this moment, Shang Luoyun was truly the savior of the Shang Family; the Shang Family would even be proud of her for millions of years to come.

And with the Soul-Seizing Bell, the Xuantian Merchant Guild could indeed be protected for millions of years; even during the Great Dark Tribulation, it would not be able to harm the Shang Family, as the Soul-Seizing Bell was an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.

Moreover, the Shang Family also had the Qin Family as a strong backing, making it difficult for them to perish.

After the Soul-Seizing Bell was placed in the ancestral hall of the clan, everyone knelt before it in reverence.

Then everyone returned to the main hall, still reeling from the shock, each of them extremely excited.

Shang Lingjun said,

“Shang Luoyun, the Qin Family is too mysterious. You stayed in the Qin Family for a few days; is there anything we can do to help the Qin Family?”

“If my Shang Family has the ability, I will definitely help the Qin Family achieve it.”

“Moreover, my Shang Family must also do something for you to make the Qin Family value you more, so that our Shang Family’s days will be better.”

Shang Luoyun, recalling scenes from the Qin Family's Family meeting, suddenly said,

“Father, there might actually be something that can help.”

Shang Lingjun excitedly said,

“Shang Luoyun, tell me quickly.”

Shang Luoyun thought for a moment,

“Father, I was fortunate enough to participate in the Qin Family's Family meeting. The Qin Family’s future plans truly shocked me. Even now, thinking about it, I find it unbelievable, and I even feel it’s simply impossible to accomplish.”

“But I did hear one thing: the Qin Family wants all forces in the Xuantian Continent to submit.”

“And the Qin Family has an organization in the outside world called the Heavenly Dao Alliance, which has almost subjugated most of the forces in the Northern Region.”

“Within the Qin Family, there is also an organization called the Qin Family Immortal Academy, which can accept Disciples of other surnames. If our Shang Family members can enter the Qin Family Immortal Academy, their Cultivation speed will definitely be more than ten times faster than outside, as the resources inside are truly too abundant.”

After listening, Shang Lingjun solemnly said,

“Shang Luoyun, first tell me what the Qin Family’s subsequent plans are.”

Shang Luoyun said,

“The Qin Family intends to unify the Northern Region within three months, unify the Xuantian Continent within five years, and pacify the Demon Realm within thirty years.”

“Good, good, good! The Qin Family actually has such grand ambitions! I admire it, I, Shang Batian, truly admire it! This is what Cultivators of our generation should do!”

“My Xuantian Merchant Guild has suffered enough under the tyranny of the Law Enforcement Hall; it’s time to rise up!”

“Wait, you mentioned the Demon Realm—could that be one of the forces recorded in ancient texts that invaded the Xuantian Great World? That’s within the Starry Sea! Rumor has it that the Starry Sea has endless gales, and even a Nine Revolution Great Emperor would be instantly torn to pieces if caught in them. Are you sure the Qin Family plans to pacify the Demon Realm within thirty years?”

“Are you sure you didn’t mishear?”

Shang Luoyun nodded.

“Old Ancestor, I’m sure. Moreover, this matter seems to be handled by the Qin Family’s Grand Elder.”

Silence, extreme silence, so quiet that everyone could hear each other’s heartbeats and breathing.

At this moment, the Shang Family members could no longer assess the Qin Family’s strength. With the Qin Family’s current situation, they could instantly unify the Xuantian Continent! Why would it still take five years? Why is this?

Shang Lingjun sighed,

“Shang Luoyun, you truly found a good husband! The Shang Family is honored because of you.”

Shang Luoyun continued,

“Father, my personal view is for the Xuantian Merchant Guild to merge into the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and at the same time, for the Family Disciples to try their best to enter the Qin Family Immortal Academy.”

“Because the Qin Family is currently forming the Qin Family Army, which will be the future generation’s force for conquering myriad worlds! If our Shang Family Disciples are fortunate enough to be selected into the Qin Family Army, they will definitely witness a different kind of glory in the future, and it might even make our Shang Family famous throughout myriad worlds.”

Upon hearing this, Shang Lingjun murmured,

“Famous throughout myriad worlds... what an immense honor that would be.”

Then Shang Lingjun shouted,

“All Shang Family members, do you want your names to resound throughout myriad worlds, and for the Shang Family to resound throughout myriad worlds?”

Then all Shang Family members said,

“I do.”

“I do.”

At this moment, Shang Luojun said,

“Shang Luoyun, my dear younger sister, can you speak to your brother-in-law and ask him to let me join his command? I want to join the Qin Family Army right now.”

Shang Luoyun smiled and said,

“Brother, you’re too impatient. The captain of the Qin Family Army must be a Qin Family member, and their Cultivation must be at least that of a Great Emperor. Young Master Qin is currently only at the Saint King Cultivation, so you’ll have to wait a while.”

“However, Brother, don’t worry, when Young Master Qin advances to Great Emperor, I will definitely tell him.”

Seeing that everyone’s opinions were surprisingly consistent, Shang Lingjun then said,

“Good, in that case, Shang Luoyun, contact the Heavenly Dao Alliance Leader and tell them that our Shang Family is willing to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance and become a part of it.”

Shang Luoyun joyfully said,

“Good, then in a month, I will definitely tell Young Miss Ziyue.”

At this moment, Shang Batian suddenly slapped his thigh.

“Oh no, I forgot something important!”

Then Shang Batian said,

“All Shang Family members, follow me to dig for treasure.”

Shang Lingjun was puzzled.

“Old Ancestor, what trick are you playing now?”

Shang Batian smiled and said,

“Just follow me.”

Then all Shang Family members arrived at the place where Chen Qinglong had fallen.

Everyone was shocked.

This visual impact left everyone stunned, after all, there were eight hundred Great Emperors.

Shang Batian smiled and said,

“Everyone, strip those Law Enforcement Hall lackeys of their Storage Rings, and hang all their corpses on the city walls of Xuantian City! I want the world to know the consequences of offending my Xuantian Merchant Guild! Even the Law Enforcement Hall, if they offend my Xuantian Merchant Guild, the outcome will be the same.”

And at this moment, the news of Chen Qinglong and the eight hundred Great Emperors’ demise had completely spread within the Law Enforcement Hall, even reaching several Old Ancestors.

The Grand Elder at this moment furiously said,

“This is too much! Simply too much!”

“Xuantian Merchant Guild, this grudge, I, Xue Tianqi, will surely avenge!”

“Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, among you three, Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother are Half-Step Emperor Venerables, and Sixth Brother has just advanced to the Emperor Venerable Realm. The three of you go to the Xuantian Merchant Guild and destroy it for me, otherwise, what will become of my Law Enforcement Hall’s prestige?”

Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, and Eighth Brother nodded, then left the Law Enforcement Hall and headed towards the Xuantian Merchant Guild.

“Sixth Brother, what do you think the Xuantian Merchant Guild used to make our Law Enforcement Hall suffer such a huge setback? The Grand Elder is clearly enraged this time.”

“You ask me? Who should I ask? But we’ll know when we go and see. With our three Cultivators’ cultivation, no matter how powerful the Xuantian Merchant Guild is, we can retreat safely.”

The three of them nodded, for to them, they were invincible existences. Each of them could instantly kill eight hundred Great Emperors.

An Emperor Venerable and a Great Emperor are not to be compared on the same day; even a Half-Step Emperor Venerable is not something a Great Emperor can contend with.

Full of confidence, extremely full of confidence.

At this moment, within the Xuantian Merchant Guild’s ancestral hall, the Soul-Seizing Bell suddenly rang without cause.

“Oh no, the Soul-Seizing Bell actually rang! Has our Xuantian Merchant Guild encountered another crisis?”

The Soul-Seizing Bell, currently enshrined in the Shang Family ancestral hall, naturally sensed the Shang Family’s crisis. However, the artifact spirit of the Soul-Seizing Bell, Soul-Seizing, was too lazy to emerge. A mere Emperor Venerable was not worthy of his appearance; he merely issued a warning through the ringing sound.

And this was merely the most basic function of a clan-protecting divine weapon.

Shang Batian at this moment said,

“All Shang Family members, please invoke the clan-protecting divine weapon, the Soul-Seizing Bell!”

Then all Shang Family members bathed and burned incense, then respectfully knelt outside the ancestral hall.

And Shang Batian even prostrated himself with both hands on the ground.

“We invoke the clan-protecting divine weapon.”

Then the more than two hundred Great Emperors behind him also respectfully said,

“We invoke the clan-protecting divine weapon.”

The Soul-Seizing Bell slowly floated into the air at this moment, then landed in Shang Batian’s hand.

As for Shang Lingjun, his Cultivation was too low to unleash the power of the Soul-Seizing Bell.

After Shang Batian held the Soul-Seizing Bell, a profound and mysterious feeling surged into his body. At this moment, Shang Batian had a strong sensation:

That was, he could now instantly kill the heavens, the earth, and the air.

Then the method of using the Soul-Seizing Bell and its effects merged into Shang Batian’s glabella, and Shang Batian directly fell into a daze.
