Rise Of Evil Sword God Chapter 453: Fan Clan

Chapter 453: Fan Clan

From the gossips, Feng Yun was able to narrow down some details about the worship ceremony.
Today is a traditional festival of the town, called the love worship ceremony. This festival is mostly held for couples where couples pray the god for a prosperous and happy future.
"Dear guest, do you want to come with us to join the worship ceremony? Every couple in the town will take part in the ceremony, even people came from surrounding town to worship to gain blessing from God for a prosperous future." The inn owner came to Feng Yun and said.
He was also going with his wife who was a young woman. She also greeted them with a smile and invite them. Both of them misunderstood Feng Yun and Fan Xignjuan as a couple.
After fifteen minutes later, Feng Yun, Fan Xingjuan, and the inn owner couple arrived at the foot of a mountain peak where the ceremony was going to hold.
Feng Yun was a little curious about the worship ceremony, he has seen it once in the Gu City, he was thinking whether it was going the same kind of ceremony. So he curiously asked about the ceremony from the inn owner.
Turn out it was completely different and more interesting. To participate in the ceremony, people have to climb a mountain peak.
The man or husband has to climb a mountain peak while carrying his lover or wife to show faith. And the spirit energy was not allowed to use during the ceremony. This means they have to climb the mountain peak only with their physical strength while carrying their lover.
"Well, This is not hard. This mountain peak is not that hard to climb even without using the spirit energy." Feng Yun curiously said. The mountain peak was high, but anyone with decent strength could climb it. Feng Yun already checked it with divine sense, he didn't find any trap or spirit beast in the mountain, certainly, there was no danger.
"Worship is not about strength but faith. This is a day when all husband and wife forgive each other's mistakes and make peace." The inn owner replied with a smile.
Feng Yun nodded in understanding. Basically, this festival brings the couple closer and makes their relationship stronger.
Fan Xingjuan refused to take part but ended agreeing up in the end due to the persuasion of Feng Yun.
Before the beginning of the ceremony, an old couple gave a short speech and prayed to the gods. After one hour, the ceremony finally started.
After that, he sat down for his wife to move on his back and started climbing on the mountain slowly.
Hundreds of people started climbing the mountain, all of them have a smile on their faces as they sang songs together with joy while climbing the mountain.
Feng Yun found this fascinating, he looked at Fan Xingjuan and said, "Master, should we start climbing too?"
Fan Xingjuan looked at Feng Yun and then the people who were climbing and said, "Okay. Let's go!"
Feng Yun smiled and moved to her pick her, he picked her up like a princess and carried her forward. With his strength, he naturally didn't need to take some precautions or need to carry her on his back.
Feng Yun held her into his arms tightly, Fan Xingjuan also wrapped her arms around his neck for support and said, "You are seemed to enjoying it."
"Maybe!" Feng Yun chuckled while climbing the stone mountain. Just like others, Feng Yun was also not using any spirit Qi, he didn't need it anyway just to climb just mountain. His physique is strong enough to climb this mountain in a few minutes.
But naturally, Feng Yun wasn't going to do that, he was enjoying this.
"Why are you going so slow? Don't you want to finish before them?" Fan Xingjuan said with a smile.
"Have you forgotten? This ceremony is not about strength or winning and losing." Feng Yun replied with a chuckle.
After four hours of climbing, they finally reached the top of the mountain peak. Once they reached the top of the mountain, they found a small temple on the peak.
"Hmm! You can put me down now." Fan Xingjuan said.
"Really, I think I have used some spirit energy, so I think we have to do it again from the start." Feng Yun said with a guilty expression whiling still holding her in his arms.
"Fool yourself! Put me down, now!" Fan Xingjuan rolled her eyes at him and said. Feng Yun eventually put her down.
"Can we go now? Or are you thinking about attending the entire ceremony?" Fan Xingjuan said.
"Nah, it thinks this is enough. They might take quite some time." Feng Yun said as he looked at the others who were still climbing the mountain. According to the inn owner, the last prey of the ceremony will start when all the pairs reach the mountain top.
Feng Yun was not of believer type of guy, he took part in the ceremony because he found it interesting.
After that, Fan Xingjuan took Feng Yun as they appeared a few kilometers away from the mountain, she took out the flying and resumed their journey.
Ten days later!
Fan Xingjuan and Feng Yun appeared in the sky above the Dragon Soaring Mountain Range where Fan Clan resided.
"We have arrived!" Fan Xingjuan said with a faint smile.
Feng Yun looked around at the Dragon Soaring Mountain Range, he was surprised by the dense amount of spiritual energy in the air. It was much denser than Mystic Heaven Peak. Feng Yun finally understood why high-ranked cultivators are not rare in this region. With such a high amount of spirit energy, high-ranked resources were bound to appear.
Feng Yun looked at the Dragon Soaring Mountain Range that looked empty, but Feng Yun could detect a few hidden formations in the mountains.
"Let's go!"
After that, Fan Xingjuan led Feng Yun into the mountain range, she easily passed through the giant hidden formation and arrived at another place. This was the hinterland of Dragon-Soaring Mountain Range, the place where Fan Clan lived.
However, this place was not as luxurious as they had imagined. Instead, it was as if they had returned to those primitive villages. There were simple houses. Occasionally, two or three people would pass by. There were even children playing and playing by the stream. Meanwhile, the women were chatting and washing their clothes.
This scene made Feng Yun somewhat unable to turn the situation around.
This scene was too different from what he had imagined.
"Do you think it's strange?" Fan Xingjuan asked Feng Yun.
Feng Yun nodded. "Yes, it is.
Fan Xingjuan explained, "The reason why we maintain this primitive lifestyle is to train every generation of our people to work hard to cultivate. Not to enjoy the luxury of cultivation, but to let our people know the state of our race. We must not let our guard down, we must also have powerful enemies to deal with. Otherwise, our clan will be destroyed soon!"
"There are still powerful enemies?" Feng Yun was a little confused.
The Fan Clan was one of the most powerful existences in the region. At least, a super force like the Black Turtle wouldn't dare to provoke them. What kind of opponent was worthy of being called their enemy?
"We'll talk about this later. I'll take you to see my sister first. You'll understand everything in the future." Fan Xingjuan said as she led Feng Yun in the village.
When Fan Xingjuan and Feng Yun arrived in the village, more and more people moved their attention to them.
Some old people called 'Supreme Elder' while others called her "Great Elder." It was obvious that Fan Xingjuan had a high status in the clan. While youngsters curiously looked at Fan Xingjuan but saluted respectfully, certainly not many youngsters know her.
While they were curiously checking out Feng Yun and her, Feng Yun was also doing the same. The average cultivation of youngsters was much higher than Long Dynasty and the heaven profound realm cultivator was very common here. Just seeing this, Feng Yun could guess the strength of Fan Clan.
Fan Xingjuan brought Feng Yun directly into the main building of the clan.
"Hey, Fan Jiaying! I am back. Where are you?" Fan Xingjuan said out loud. In the entire Fan clan, only Fan Xingjuan was daring enough to do this kind of crazy because that house was the residence of the leader of the fan clan.
"Fan Xingjuan, what happened? Why are you shouting so loud like a child?" A woman whose appearance was similar to Fan Xingjuan came out of the house, she wore a simple blue long robe, but it couldn't hide her beauty. The woman looked at Fan Xingjuan and said with a somewhat annoyed face.
The woman was called Fan Jiaying, the current matriarch of the Fan Clan as well sister of Fan Xingjuan.
