Chapter Sixteen: The Surprise of the Hai Family

  Everyone almost held their breath, the significance of Huoyun Sword as a Xuan-level primary sword they all understood. To know that in the past, Hai family only had three Huang-level swords, and two of them were still primary, one was intermediate.

  If it weren't for the deterrent effect of the Seven Spirit Bell, perhaps the Hai family would have been annihilated or driven out of Blackstone City long ago.

  Now, if they had this Flame Cloud Sword, it would greatly enhance the top combat capabilities of the Hai family. Everyone's eyes in the room became extremely hot.

  With a glance at the expressions of the crowd, Hai Tian already knew what they were thinking in their hearts. Without beating around the bush, he directly took out the Huo Yun sword from his storage ring and swung it casually twice, smiling: "Great Elder, how do you think this should be handled?"

  The Fire Cloud Sword in Haitian's hand suddenly appeared, and the masters of the Hai family were all stunned. It was the Great Elder and Hai Wuya who reacted quickly, and soon came back to their senses, looking at each other with surprise in their eyes.

  When asked by Haitian, the old man's face turned red involuntarily. His attitude was like that of Sima Zhao, known to everyone, but he pretended to be ignorant, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

  There's no doubt that this Flame Cloud Sword can exert its strongest combat power in their hands, if it were to be given to Hai Tian, it would really be a waste.

  It would be too humiliating if they were to be taken away from a junior's hands.

  Everyone was silent one by one, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

  The sea and sky could see that these guys were too embarrassed to speak, and he was happy not to speak. His storage ring still had several Xuan-level swords, and now he just didn't take them out, deliberately teasing the high-ranking members of the Hai family.

  As time went on, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Da Zhang Lao and others. At this moment, they were so stifled that it was too hard for them to bear. It's really a case of dying for face but living in suffering.

  "That... day, you see this Huo Yun sword in your hand can't exert much combat power. A sword can only be used to its maximum value by a master. What do you say?" The Great Elder said with a dry smile on his face.

  "En en, Great Elder, you are absolutely right. To fully unleash the power of Huoyun Sword, my current strength is still a bit insufficient." Hai Tian said seriously, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

  As soon as they heard this, the elder and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Hai Tian had already understood their meaning and would take the initiative to contribute the Huo Yun Sword.

  But who would have thought that Hai Tian suddenly changed his tone, and with a serious expression, patted the Great Elder's shoulder and said: "Great Elder, you can rest assured, I will definitely improve my strength in a short period of time and strive to bring out the maximum power of this Fire Cloud Sword."

  "Boom, boom, boom..." The Grand Elder and the others did not expect Haotian to say such a thing, and they all fell to the ground, their faces filled with tears of laughter.

  Everyone could see that Hai Tian had long understood their meaning, but now he was pretending not to understand. The elder and the others couldn't directly break through this awkward atmosphere either, so it remained stagnant like this.

  After a while, Hai Wuya was the first to laugh and say: "Alright, alright, since you all won't say anything, then I'll be the one to speak. Anyway, this old face of mine has already been lost once."

  Everyone understood in their hearts that the time Hai Wuya mentioned was referring to the previous incident at the cave mansion in the Seventh Product Mountain Range for Haiyun's matter. However, no one spoke out and instead looked at Hai Wuya and Hai Tian with peace of mind.

  "Tian Er, actually everyone's intention you also understand, no need to pretend anymore. With your current strength it's very difficult to exert the true power of Huo Yun Sword. Our intention is to first hand over this Huo Yun Sword for us to use, and when you have gained enough strength in the future, we will return the Huo Yun Sword to you." Hai Wu Jia said frankly.

  The old man and the others all smiled and said: "It's settled, it's settled. From now on, you will be the heir of our Hai family, this Fire Cloud Sword will eventually return to your hands, we are just borrowing it for now."

  "So that's what you all meant, wanting to borrow the Huoyun Sword isn't impossible. It's just that I've already prepared other swords for you, if you don't want them then forget it." Haitian deliberately turned around and was about to leave.

  Everyone present is a top-notch master of the Hai family.

  They all heard Haitian's words clearly just now, and prepared other swords for them. What did they mean to say?

  "Tian'er! What do you mean by that? Are you saying you have other swords as well?" Hai Wuya's tone became extremely agitated. If the Hai family had a few more swords, then even the Li family's Sword King wouldn't be able to withstand them.

  "Yes, I've prepared a Xuanjie sword for each of you, but it seems like none of you are interested." Haitian intentionally put on a long face, looking disappointed.

  "Is everyone going to get a Xuanji Sword? Tian Er, are you telling the truth?" The Great Elder's words were already somewhat incoherent.

  A hint of a smile flashed across Haotian's face: "Alright, I won't tease you guys anymore. Look, this is the Xuanjie sword that I've prepared for each of you, one per person, no need to fight over it!"

  Haitian took out the few Xuanjie swords from the storage ring and placed them on the ground. The originally elegant and refined Hai family experts, one by one, pounced on the swords like starving dogs devouring food, causing Haitian to burst into laughter beside them.

  Before long, all the Xuanjie swords on the ground were distributed, leaving only one Xuanjie primary sword that no one wanted. Haitian's mind moved, and the sword immediately returned to the storage ring and lay quietly inside.

  Those masters of the sea family were all holding their chosen swords, carefully examining them and constantly making sounds of surprise.

  "How's it going? Is everyone still satisfied?" Haitian asked with a smile.

  "Satisfied! Extremely satisfied! Xiao Tian, where did you get so many Xuanji sword holders?" Haotian's third uncle asked excitedly. He had always dreamed of owning a sword holder himself, and now his dream had finally come true.

  Everyone was delighted, and Hai Tian himself was also very happy. As for San Shu's words, he didn't hide it at all: "Where else could it come from? Of course, it came from that cave mansion. Have you forgotten what happened before when I was secretly harmed by Hai Yun and almost died?"

  "Are you talking about being transported away? Did you get it back then?" Hai Wuya's eyes widened in surprise, his face full of astonishment.

  Haitian didn't want to see his family being bullied, so he wasn't secretive about the secret that could help his family. He smiled and roughly told them what had happened when he entered the stone room, but he didn't immediately mention getting the Nine-Heaven Sword God's inheritance.

  "It turns out that your luck is really good, Tian'er. Not only did you survive the great disaster, but you also obtained this storage ring and so many Xuanjie swords." The Hai family's experts all praised him one after another, but Hai Wuya suddenly fell silent, "Tian'er, do others know about these swords besides us?"

  "Of course not, I didn't even tell Xiaoyu. Now there's only one remaining Xuanjie beginner sword left, and I plan to leave it for Xiaoyu in the future." Haitian couldn't help but smile as he thought of Xiaoyu and his own feelings.

  Third Uncle was also relieved and patted Haitian's shoulder, saying: "Then thank you."

  "It's a pity, although these swords are all Mystic-grade, there are too few of them. If we had ten more, even if they were Yellow-grade, we would be able to suppress those two big families." Hai Wuyan shook his head regretfully.

  Hearing this, Hai Tian's heart stirred, and he initially wanted to reveal that he had already obtained the secret method of the number one equipment master in the Soul Sword Continent. However, after some thought, he gave up on it, as he also needed to keep some secrets for himself.

  "Alright, everyone has been hurt a lot in the past two days, especially Tian Er, who almost died. I'm sure everyone is very tired, so let's go back and rest early." Hai Wu Ya scanned the crowd with a smile.

  Everyone else also did not refute and bid farewell to leave.

  Haitian also left the room with the crowd, he clearly felt that the Hai family's experts had a completely different attitude towards him than in the past. In the past, these guys, except for his father who truly cared about him, almost everyone else was indifferent to him.

  After the battle at Dongfu, everyone's attitude became extremely friendly. This was not just because Haitian gave them Xuanjie sword equipment, but more importantly, they all saw Haitian's potential.

  "It seems that no one can escape the trend!" Hai Tian sighed sincerely, and then returned to his own room, he needed to sort out the gains from this time.

  In addition to obtaining those few swords, there was also a storage ring, an ice jade bed and the "Ninefold Waves". The function of the "Ninefold Waves" naturally goes without saying, but the ice jade bed actually provided the greatest help for him in his cultivation.

  He closed his own door and immediately released the Frost Jade Bed from the storage ring, sitting directly on it. He instantly felt a cool sensation rushing to his forehead.

  He closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, and Hai Tian discovered that the spiritual energy around this icy jade bed was more dense than anywhere else, which made him extremely delighted. It seemed that what he had obtained was not ordinary icy jade, but top-grade icy jade.

  It is said that the top-grade Frost Jade has the function of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  After this round of treasure hunting, Haitian discovered that his own strength was really too low. Even with the assistance of Jianling and the help of Huoyun Sword, his strength still belonged to the bottom among the crowd.

  "Indeed, strength is too important. If I didn't have the strength, I wouldn't have watched that high-grade Xuanjie sword fly away." Haitian sighed, although he had obtained many Xuanjie swords in his storage ring, they were all low and mid-grade, not a single high-grade one, which made him quite regretful.

  "Never mind, improving strength is the top priority! Strength!" Hai Tian slightly narrowed his eyes, sat on the icy jade bed, and began another round of cultivation.

  At the same time, in another independent courtyard of Hai's family, Haiyun, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally woke up. When he found that he was not dead, he was pleased for a while, but soon discovered that his dantian was broken and couldn't help but be stunned.

  Dantian being broken means he can no longer store sword energy and thus cannot cultivate anymore.

  "Haitian! Haitian!" Haiyun shouted fiercely, "I, Haiyun, swear here and now that one day I will make you die at my hands!"
