234 Chapter 234 (2/2)

It was time to clear things out here. There were some accusations thrown out there but no proof anywhere. First, they needed to see if this white-haired man was related to the golden-haired girl or not. If he wasn't then he was clearly just doing this to agitate the other side, for what reason that would be up to debate.

”Bring it out.”

The man clapped his hands and a person brought out a certain treasure. It looked like a chalice that was made from precious metals. The people here knew well what this was as it was a popular item that could test someone's family roots.

The chalice was placed on a table. A person needed to put a drop of their blood into the item and let it mix with the other person's blood. If the chalice showed a reaction by glowing then it meant that the people were related to each other.

There were other more intricate artifacts like this. Some sects used them to test how pure their bloodlines were. This was mostly done with a reference to an ancestral senior. They would use their genetic marker as the base and compare the disciples to it. The closer it was the higher the position in the sect or clan for the junior.

Fang Meili looked at her grandfather, the old man just nodded.

”It's okay Meili'er.”

Not like the two had any other choice. If Zhang Dong was a liar and he was just trying to start a fight they would go down with him.

Fang Heng was already grasping at straws, his original plan had gone down the drain. It was clear that the other sects knew something as they weren't worried that much when they took his granddaughter away. He was now sure that they were testing him. Probably the information about the state of his sect was already out there. How much was unclear.

The golden-haired girl nodded and moved forward. She was handed a dagger with which she poked her finger with. A droplet of blood landed inside the chalice and the artifact began to faintly glow.

Zhan Jie and the others were curious, was this girl really related to that man. It was really strange that he reacted as he did. A normal person wouldn't defend someone in this kind of situation from their standpoint.

They could only think of a few reasons that would make him do something like that. Either the girl was really related to him, or he was planning something. He seemed eager to go against them, was he really so brazen and sure about himself?

Zhan Jie's natural superiority complex was clouding his judgment. He was already maddened by the fact that Zhang Dong dared to break off ties and would not be paying his sect its dues. He wanted to show him how wrong he was to go against him and his sect. He didn't even add the other two sects into the equations as he was confident. His own sect was superior and so was he.

Zhang Dong was now up. He was handed a dagger that was a heavenly treasure, he looked at it for a moment and frowned. It looked like he was apprehensive about using it for some reason. This made the other cultivators question his motives, it made it seem like he didn't want to go through with this test.

”See, he was lying, he doesn't even want to proceed with the bloodline test!”

The Yggdrasil Sect's Patriarch proclaimed while pointing with his finger accusingly. The others nodded with approval as it did look like so.

”No, it's just… fine…”

Zhang Dong gave out a sigh and poked his finger with the dagger. The others looked with anticipation and waited for the chalice to be activated. There was a slight problem though.

”I thought so…”

They looked at Zhang Dong who poked his finger with that dagger but no blood was coming out. The item was a heaven grade treasure but it looked to not be able to pierce his skin. The pointy dagger tip even got bent out of shape when Zhang Dong added more strength to it.

”Sorry about that…”

Zhang Dong handed the dagger back to the person that brought it over. It was now really out of shape and looked unusable. It was clear from this display that this man's body was something that could resist heavenly grade treasures.

”I'll just use my own…”

The man then brought out his sword that he once used in the fight against the Silver Spear Sect Patriarch and poked his finger on the tip. Even this item had some trouble to pierce his skin but a small droplet was formed that dropped into the chalice.

The bloodline measuring device started working and it went through a couple of colors. Depending on the shine it gave out it could show how close they were related. It went from red to orange and then to yellow and continued to change. It finally stopped at a slightly darker green which meant that the two were indeed related.

”Green color, this means that they are within three generations!”

Zhang Dong already knew this as his system had shown him this. The person that Zhang Jin had shagged with was Fang Meili's great grandmother. She was indeed his niece and in the same generation as his two disciples.

The two sect leaders looked surprised, what was the meaning of this? This man was related to this girl, how was this possible?

The two looked at each other and their faces went pale. This was probably a rouse started by the Divine First Sect, they probably lied about the monster attack too!
