102: Ownership of weapons

Xun Xiuyuan's question made Xie An pause; wasn't the topic changing a bit too quickly?

Lu Feng answered from the side, "There are three who use swords: Li Jun and Li Ren. The Li Family's ancestral sword techniques mean many in their family use swords. Also, Wang Yonghua of the Wang Family uses a sword."

Xie An interjected at this point, "That's right, the sword is the king of weapons, so many people use it. But there is indeed one who uses a soft whip, and that's Wen Ruyu, the Old Ancestor of the Wen Family, who loves matchmaking."

Lu Feng smiled upon hearing Xie An's words: "She just enjoys doing that; in reality, not many young talents truly catch her eye. The women of the Wen Family, perhaps due to genetics, all have quite high cultivation talent."

Xun Xiuyuan didn't hide anything; the two men before him were trustworthy. He said directly,

"Old Ancestor, Grandpa Lu, I also obtained other weapons in the Lingtian Relic, weapons infused with laws: a sword and a soft whip. If given to the right people, they would greatly increase the Human Clan's combat power."

Xie An's eyes widened: "Xiao Yuan! What did you say?"

Lu Feng was also stunned, a bit hesitant to speak.

Xun Xiuyuan repeated himself. This time, Xie An and Lu Feng had composed themselves and cautiously asked, "Are they complete weapons or fragments?"

Xun Xiuyuan said, "Complete weapons. The sword is named Kunwu, containing the power of the Law of Space. The soft whip is named Liuying, containing the power of the Law of Water."

Xie An thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yuan! You can also use a sword as your own weapon, can't you?"

"Old Ancestor, I have my own saber," Xun Xiuyuan replied with a smile. He was quite touched that the Old Ancestor's first concern was about his own weapon; this kind of care was very heartwarming.

Xie An said, "Xiao Yuan, even if these two weapons are to be given to suitable candidates to strengthen the Human Clan's power, they cannot be given for free. Some conditions must definitely be put forward."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded: "People from the Wang Family and Cui Family are not within consideration. Old Ancestor, please advise me on what demands would be most advantageous."

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan mention the Wang Family and Cui Family, Xie An frowned deeply and said, "You said Wang Yonghua has a high probability of betraying the Human Clan. I feel Cui Yuan is also very problematic; Cui Yuan's behavior that day was very strange."

Lu Feng chimed in, "There are still hundreds of millions of Human Clan members in Jiaolong City. The matters of the Wang Family and Cui Family still need to be taken seriously. I wonder if Oldest Li has any good arrangements?"

Xie An shook his head and said, "A clever housewife cannot cook without rice. Oldest Li also has no good solution. If Chen Yuan hadn't passed away, he could still have balanced things out."

Seeing the conversation straying further, Xun Xiuyuan interrupted the two old men and said, "Old Ancestor, if I offer the weapons, what kind of conditions should I propose?"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up when Xun Xiuyuan mentioned it again, and he asked, "Xiao Yuan! Do you have any requirements for these yourself?"

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head: "I temporarily lack nothing in terms of resources, so I have no requirements."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "The Wen Family has a small secret realm that only women can enter. Time inside is accelerated, and two people can enter each time."

"Time acceleration? Such a magical secret realm?" Xun Xiuyuan was surprised.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not of much use. Ten times time acceleration, one day outside is ten days inside, so it's suitable for secluded cultivation. It's just too small, only two people at a time, so its effect on the entire Human Clan is not significant."

Xie An also said, "That little fellow Wen Ruyu is a bit younger than us, but because of this secret realm, her cultivation realm has already caught up; she's at the peak of the late Shattering Void Realm."

Xun Xiuyuan understood, looked at Lu Yuan, and asked, "Grandpa Lu, are you suggesting I set conditions for Nan Qiao and Xiao Ou to enter and cultivate?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "One is for cultivation, the second is for safety, and the third is to have Wen Ruyu personally instruct them. For this weapon, Wen Ruyu will definitely agree to any condition."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, the matter of the soft whip was decided. He asked again, "What about the Li Family?"

Xie An shook his head and said, "Don't mention any conditions for the Li Family. Li Jun has already worked himself to the bone for the Human Clan; consider it compensation. My former Po Kong Realm long spear was forged by Li Jun. He truly is wholeheartedly for the Human Clan, working tirelessly without complaint."

Lu Feng also nodded, "Without Li Jun, the Human Clan would have long since perished."

Xun Xiuyuan was silent, saying nothing more.

Deep within the Man Xiong Clan's territory.

Inside a massive cave.

Xiong Lie was seated with the other four Shattering Void Realm powerhouses stationed in the territory, around a huge wooden table.

Among them, one beast was the Shattering Void Realm powerhouse of the Fierce Bird Clan stationed here.

He spoke, "Xiong Lie, you said you've already awakened Lord Xiong Meng and received a response, so why hasn't Lord Xiong Meng come out after several days?"

Xiong Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Lord Meng did indeed respond to my call."

The other three also shook their heads in silence.

Xiong Lie sighed and said, "Lord Meng has been in seclusion for many years. I wonder if this awakening will affect his seclusion."

At this moment, an aged voice echoed within the cave: "No effect. In this realm, if one is not a genius naturally close to the Dao of Time and Space, breaking through is too difficult."

No sooner had the words fallen than a towering figure appeared inside the cave.

Xiong Lie was already tall, but this figure was even taller than Xiong Lie, with the same bear head and human body, like an enlarged version of Xiong Lie.

Seeing this figure, the five rose and saluted.

"Greetings, Xiong Family Old Ancestor."

"Greetings, Old Ancestor."

Xiong Meng showed no politeness, walking directly to the large wooden table, picking up the wine pot, and gulping down more than half of it.

Then he sighed and said, "My Man Xiong Clan is naturally close to the Dao of Earth, but alas, whether in the abyss or on the surface, the Law of Earth is very weak. For me, with an Earth affinity talent, to comprehend the Dao of Time and Space is truly too difficult."

Xiong Lie also felt distressed. He, too, had reached the peak of the Shattering Void Realm, but his strength was mediocre because his comprehension of laws couldn't keep up.

This was also why the Human Clan's Shattering Void Realm combat power was strong, because the Human Clan's ability to comprehend laws was indeed much stronger than that of the exotic beasts.

Xiong Meng sat down and asked, "Why was I awakened?"

Xiong Lie then recounted the entire story of the Lingtian Relic, from beginning to end, and also explained Gui Sheng's plan.

When Xiong Meng heard about the weapon containing the Law of Space, his eyes lit up. This was a good item. He was just a step away from the Quasi-God Realm, and if he could obtain such a weapon, there was a high probability he could break through.

The Shattering Void Realm powerhouse of the Fierce Bird Clan said from the side, "The Shadow Demon Ancestor and our Old Ancestor have both agreed that once the weapon is in hand, that Space Rending Spear will first be given to you, Xiong Family Old Ancestor, for comprehension."

Xiong Meng grinned and said, "Consider them sensible, haha. That Flame Spear must greatly enhance your Old Ancestor's Law of Fire, right? Your Old Ancestor must be aiming for that."

The Fierce Bird Clan's Shattering Void Realm powerhouse did not refute; this was simply the truth.

If they knew that the Human Clan also had the wu hook, Kunwu, and Liuying, what would they do then?

Before success, the spoils of war were already distributed.
