Once Nianmo stood up and slammed a cyan-colored token onto the stone table in front of her. "This is the Thunder Sword Manor Lord's token left behind by my father. Could it be that even with this token, I'm not allowed to sit here?"

Before the beardless old man could speak, a middle-aged man with a layer of cyan aura on his face stood up. "Nianmo, this seat is yours. You are welcome to sit."

Hearing this, Nianmo's eyes reddened slightly. She bowed to the middle-aged man and sat down.

The beardless old man who had questioned Nianmo didn't voice any further objections after hearing the middle-aged man speak.

Mo Wuji thought to himself, "This is truly not easy. Finally, there's someone willing to help." Moreover, this middle-aged man's strength seems to be no lower than Xi Baren's.

Xi Baren stood up and said loudly, "A few months ago, Miss Nianmo left the Thunder Sword Manor. The Manor was without a Lord for a time, so we temporarily chose Xi Chong as the Lord..."

The middle-aged man who had previously stood up to speak for Nianmo said again, "Elder Baren, Xi Chong was only temporarily managing the Thunder Sword Manor to deal with those outsiders. He can't be considered a temporary Manor Lord."

Xi Baren chuckled, "Whether he is or isn't doesn't matter. After all, now that Miss is back, we need to re-elect a Manor Lord. When the Old Manor Lord left the Thunder Sword Manor, he didn't appoint the next Lord. Fortunately, although the Old Manor Lord hasn't returned, he left behind two bloodlines. Nianmo and Xi Chong..."

"Elder Baren, my father will return sooner or later, so some things can't be said carelessly," Nianmo interrupted Xi Baren with a somewhat cold tone.

"Esteemed Elders, let Miss Nianmo serve as the Manor Lord. I am sorry to Chong'er's father, I..." A weak female voice sounded, and before she could finish a sentence, she was already on the verge of tears.

Mo Wuji saw the woman speaking and sighed inwardly at her beauty. This woman not only had an exquisitely beautiful face but also incredibly tender skin that made one want to touch it.

Sitting beside the woman were a man and a woman. The man was young with an ugly face and narrow, sinister-looking eyes. The woman had her head lowered and seemed to be pregnant.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about this matter. In any case, to quietly raise the young master is no easy feat." The old man who had previously made Nianmo step down from the head seat sighed and comforted her.

Nianmo trembled with anger. She was sure that this woman had no relation to her father, but she had no way to prove it.

Sitting beside Nianmo, Xi Jun said sternly, "A bastard has the nerve to try and be the Thunder Sword Manor Lord?"

"Who are you calling a bastard?" The young man with narrow eyes suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

Xi Baren also said with a stern face, "Elder Jun, a month ago, Young Master Chong passed the Xi family's bloodline test and is indeed the Old Manor Lord's direct son. Although our Thunder Sword Manor's Lord can be either male or female, everyone knows that Xi Chong is more suitable as the Lord. I also lean towards Nianmo being the Lord, but I can't lie through my teeth."

Mo Wuji stared blankly at Xi Baren. To be able to act like Xi Baren was a top talent.

"Aunt Jun, there's no need to say anymore. In that case, let's proceed with the Manor Lord selection," Nianmo said calmly, but she was extremely shocked in her heart.

Because she believed that Fan Chong was not her father's bloodline at all, but now Xi Baren insisted that Fan Chong was also a direct descendant of the Xi family. Moreover, Elder Xi Yi Bo hadn't stood up to object, which meant that the test Xi Baren spoke of was real.

"Nianmo, the Thunder Sword Manor Lord must be..."

This time, Nianmo didn't wait for Xi Baren to finish speaking and pulled Mo Wuji up, saying, "Let me introduce everyone. This is my husband, Mo Wuji. He will also be a member of my Thunder Sword Manor in the future. Due to some reasons, his mind has suffered some damage, but he, like me, loves the Thunder Sword Manor."

"Nianmo..." Hearing Nianmo bring Mo Wuji out and call him her husband, the middle-aged man with the cyan aura on his face couldn't help but speak.

The beardless old man stood up once again, "Nianmo, we understand your feelings. Do you know that to enter the clan's Council Hall, one must be able to withstand the Thunder Pool baptism within the Council Hall? Otherwise, even if they are a direct descendant, they are not qualified to enter here."

"Elder Xi Ti, what do you mean?" Nianmo's face turned pale. Not to mention that Mo Wuji's spiritual roots had been obliterated, even if his spiritual roots hadn't been obliterated, he couldn't withstand the Thunder Pool baptism.

So this guy is called Xi Ti. Mo Wuji was certain that this beardless elder was on Fan Chong's side. Only now did Mo Wuji understand what this Thunder Pool was for.

"What I mean is, if one can't withstand the Thunder Pool baptism, they are not qualified to be my Thunder Sword Manor's son-in-law," Xi Ti said with a cold tone.

Mo Wuji didn't know how powerful this Thunder Pool was, but he was sure that he could persevere. However, at this time, he would never stand up and say, "I can withstand it."

"Brother Yi Bo, what is your opinion?" Seeing that Nianmo had nothing more to say, Xi Jun turned her gaze to the elder with the cyan aura on his face.

Xi Yi Bo slowly said, "Everyone here is a member of my Thunder Sword Manor. A few months ago, Xi Chong's wife was also unable to withstand the Thunder Pool baptism. She cultivated my Thunder Sword Manor's techniques to have the opportunity to enter the Thunder Pool for baptism. How about this, the son-in-law also cultivates in my Thunder Sword Manor for a few months before undergoing the test."

"I agree," Xi Baren immediately said.

Even Xi Ti, the beardless old man who had been targeting Nianmo, nodded and said, "I also agree. After all, Nianmo is also the Manor Lord's daughter and should be treated equally."

Nianmo's face grew even paler. She didn't blame Xi Yi Bo. Xi Baren knew that Mo Wuji's spiritual channels had been destroyed and his spiritual roots and primordial spirit had collapsed, but Xi Yi Bo definitely didn't know. If Xi Yi Bo knew, he wouldn't have said those things earlier.

Seeing Nianmo's face, Xi Yi Bo knew that he seemed to have come up with a terrible idea.

"Thank you, Uncle Yi Bo. Nianmo has decided to give up the position of Thunder Sword Manor Lord, and at the same time, Nianmo will also leave the Thunder Sword Manor," Nianmo stood up.

She thought that as long as she had a husband, there wouldn't be any problems, but she didn't expect things to be the way they were.

Mo Wuji quickly stood up as well. He couldn't wait to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Miss, the Thunder Sword Manor is your home. We really don't want you to leave here. Besides, the God Domain is vast, where can you find..." Xi Ti said with a hint of sadness.

"Thank you, but I don't need you to worry about where I go," Nianmo interrupted Xi Ti before he could finish.

Xi Baren sighed and said, "We all don't want Miss to leave, but if Miss insists on leaving, that is Miss's freedom. The Old Manor Lord's Thunder Sword Token is the symbol of my Thunder Sword Manor, and Miss cannot take it with her."

"This is something my father left me. I won't give it to anyone," Nianmo said, her face turning ashen with anger, her hands trembling slightly.

"You're wrong. This isn't something the Manor Lord left for you, but something left for the Thunder Sword Manor." Another elder stood up and said.

"That's right, this Thunder Sword Token is indeed not your personal possession." In the Council Hall, many direct descendants stood up and said in unison.

While Nianmo was still furious about the Thunder Sword Token, Mo Wuji felt a sense of unease. He sensed a crisis. It was very likely that as soon as he left here with Nianmo, they would be chased down and secretly dealt with.

"You're all wrong. I'll tell you now that the Thunder Sword Token belongs to Mo'er." A hoarse, chilling voice came, followed by a man in brown clothes walking into the clan's Council Hall.

"Manor Lord?"

"Big Brother..."

The moment the man in brown clothes walked in, everyone in the Council Hall was stunned, then they all stood up.

"Father..." Nianmo rushed out crying and threw herself into the man in brown clothes' arms.

Mo Wuji hadn't expected Nianmo's father, Xi Jing, to return at this time. In any case, he had at least escaped a crisis.

"Manor Lord, without you in the Thunder Sword Manor, we are like headless flies," Xi Ti said with a face full of 'surprise.' His chaotic breathing expressed how frightened he was.

"Is that so? But I saw you trying to drive my daughter away..." Xi Jing's words carried a hint of icy chill. As soon as he finished speaking, his hand had already struck out. Xi Ti, the elder who had been questioning Nianmo, turned into a cloud of blood mist under Xi Jing's hand, without any ability to resist.

Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. This was simply not on the same level. The Thunder Sword Manor Lord was too powerful, so powerful that he couldn't even imagine.

"Manor Lord, Xi Ti..." Xi Baren had just said four words when Xi Jing struck down again with his palm.

Xi Baren also had no ability to resist, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Only then did Xi Jing say coldly, "Am I deaf? Can't I hear how you treat my daughter?"

After killing two elders in a row, Xi Jing looked coldly at Fan Lin. "Fan Lin, I was the one who rescued you back then. When did your son become my son? Not only did he become my son, but he also wanted to drive my daughter out of the Thunder Sword Manor?"

Fan Lin's face was pale, and her voice trembled as she said, "Xi Jing, you swore an oath that you couldn't harm me and my son. You made a promise, are you going to break your promise?"

Xi Jing's face was gloomy. He was silent for a long time before shouting sternly, "Leave, and never let me see you again."

Fan Lin quickly grabbed Fan Chong, who was trembling all over, and hurried away. As for the pregnant woman, they didn't even look at her.

Xi Jing's slaughter didn't end there. His hand seals continued to strike out, and each strike brought a cloud of blood mist. Everyone in the room was ashen-faced, and no one dared to resist in the slightest.

When half the people in the room were gone, Xi Jing stopped killing and turned his gaze to Mo Wuji. "You're quite bold, daring to be the Thunder Sword Manor's son-in-law. I'll leave you to die last..."

Before Xi Jing could finish speaking, his palm had already struck towards Mo Wuji.

(That's all for today's update, good night friends.)
