598: Chapter 598 All the major families gather at the Xu family
Hearing this, Su Yun waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I just used a bit of disguise."
Ever since he devoured the Bloodline of the Ancient Illusion Demon...
His illusion abilities had skyrocketed, and although he hadn't cultivated any powerful illusion techniques...
Relying on the Legacy Spells of the Illusion Demon Race he gained through devouring, he was already able to make illusions indistinguishable from reality.
Combined with the Heavenly Illusion Power of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl...
Even a Mahayana Realm Cultivator might not necessarily be able to see through this disguise of his.
Xie Zhisong, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes in shock. "What a sophisticated disguise technique."
How could Holy Lord Su know everything?
Not only was he powerful and proficient in the Law of Space, but he also possessed such formidable illusion skills!
He had previously heard that Holy Lord Su was a Body Tempering Cultivator and a Sword Cultivator.
So, was there anything Holy Lord Su couldn't do?
Thinking of this, Xie Zhisong couldn't help but draw in a cold breath, looking at Su Yun with even more respect.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, you flatter me! It's just a minor Spell," Su Yun said with a smile, speaking politely.
"By the way, when the time comes and I take action, if anyone asks about my identity, just say I am a hidden powerhouse of your Xie Family. Don't let the secret slip."
Su Yun paused and added another sentence.
That mysterious force was very likely related to the Jiyuan Palace Immortal.
It was better to be cautious.
He couldn't be careless!
Furthermore, generally speaking, Cultivators from the Ten Great Holy Lands do not interfere in the affairs of Cultivation Families.
Therefore, it would be better if he didn't act under his identity as the Taixuan Holy Master.
"No problem! Please rest assured, Holy Lord Su! Everyone in the Xie Family will surely keep your identity a secret!"
Xie Zhisong patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Moreover, those Xie Family members currently staying in the Ancestral Land are unaware that you are going to the Xu Family with us; they only think you are still a guest in the clan!"
Although it was a pity that they couldn't publicly declare Holy Lord Su as the Xie Family's backer.
However, this was actually quite good, perhaps even better!
When the time came, after Holy Lord Su took action, the other families would think that the Xie Family possessed a Mahayana powerhouse!
In the future, no other Family would eye the Xie Family greedily.
Taking this opportunity, the Xie Family could also gain some breathing room to develop once again.
Then, Xie Zhisong continued, "As for the matter of you being a guest in the Xie Family, I have also ordered the clansmen to keep it confidential and made them swear a heavenly dao oath not to speak of it."
Three days ago, after realizing the severity of the situation, he had done this just to be safe.
It would be bad if word got out and disturbed Holy Lord Su's plans.
Hearing this, Su Yun looked at Xie Zhisong with some surprise.
This Xie Family Ancestor was quite meticulous in his actions.
No wonder the Xie Family could still maintain the standard of a first-rate Family after its decline.
It was likely due to the methods of this Xie Family Ancestor.
Su Yun nodded and said directly:
"Then there's no problem. Fellow Daoist Xie, everything is ready now, we just need to head to the Xu Family."
Xie Zhisong also cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Then later, I will have to trouble Holy Lord Su!"
"No problem," Su Yun said with certainty.
...
After a few more words of conversation.
Quiet returned to the spirit boat.
Xie Zhisong and the others closed their eyes to rest and began to regulate their breathing.
After all, there might be a battle later, so they had to adjust themselves to their best state.
Su Yun, smelling the faint fragrance coming from his side, had a calm expression and fell into thought again.
Since that mysterious force might be related to the Jiyuan Palace Immortal.
He had to consider everything thoroughly.
Xie Yulan, sitting beside him, gently hugged Su Yun's arm, her eyes filled with ripples of affection as she stared straight at him, not looking away for a moment.
Junior Brother Yun looks so handsome when he's thinking!
She originally wanted to just take a glance and look away, but she unknowingly became mesmerized!
...
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
The Xu Family Ancestral Land.
Located among a range of high mountains and lofty peaks near the Western Middle Domain,
A large number of luxurious spirit boats flew in from all directions, landing directly outside the gates of the Xu Family Ancestral Land.
The Cultivators disembarking from these spirit boats were all Cultivators from various families invited by the Xu Family.
It could be seen that quite a few people had come from these families; for most families, not only had the ancestors come, but they had also brought many juniors.
For a time, the Xu Family Ancestral Land, which was usually extremely quiet, suddenly became very lively.
At this moment, many Xu Family members were already standing at the entrance of the Xu Family Ancestral Land.
Among these Xu Family members, many had arrogant expressions, seemingly looking down on the Cultivators from other families who had come for the appointment.
Standing at the very front of the crowd of Xu Family members was a White-Robed Old Man.
This old man had an aged face and looked frail, holding a black Dragon-Head Staff in his hand.
He was the Xu Family Ancestor, Xu Ze.
At this time, Xu Ze picked up his Dragon-Head Staff and, in a flash, went to greet a blue-robed old man.
That blue-robed old man had just stepped off the Zhou Family's spirit boat.
He had a kind appearance and a sturdy build; he was none other than the Zhou Family Ancestor, Zhou Hengwei, who had come along with many Zhou Family members.
Xu Ze came before him and said warmly, "Brother Zhou, long time no see! Since our meeting a hundred years ago, we haven't seen each other at all!"
Zhou Hengwei smiled upon hearing this, stepped forward, patted Xu Ze's shoulder, and said in a hearty tone:
"Indeed, it's been a long time! Brother Xu, how about it? I'm quite a friend, aren't I? Your Xu Family is holding a discussion assembly regarding the situation in the Central Domain.
I brought my clansmen to participate at the first opportunity."
"Hahaha, very much so, as expected of Brother Zhou!"
"Your Zhou Family is one of our Xu Family's indispensable honored guests today!"
"If you hadn't come, I would have definitely invited you again and again until you arrived before I officially opened this discussion assembly!"
A strange look flashed through Xu Ze's eyes as he spoke with a face full of smiles.
For the sake of their many years of friendship, he would definitely "entertain" Brother Zhou well!
He would give Brother Zhou a grand gift today!
"Brother Xu, I like hearing that! Alright, then I'll head in first... see you later, we can catch up when we have time!"
Zhou Hengwei couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic as he recalled the years they spent adventuring in the Central Domain, and he spoke in an excited tone.
Afterward, he entered the Xu Family Ancestral Land under the guidance of several Xu Family members.
Shortly after, Cultivators from many other families arrived one after another.
Xu Ze looked toward another green-robed old man with a gloomy face and said with equal warmth, "Ancestor of the Duan Family, it's been several hundred years since we last met, hasn't it?"
Elder of the Duan Family nodded slightly upon hearing this and said directly, "It has indeed been several hundred years! If the situation in the Central Domain weren't so chaotic now, our Duan Family wouldn't have come. I hope your Xu Family can propose effective countermeasures!"
