Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 635 - The Fen Clan And The Fenlong Clan

Upon hearing the words written on the scroll, the council members were shocked. They had not thought that some average merchant clan in a small kingdom like the Fenlong Kingdom would be related to some ancient clan.

But while they were having thoughts about the ancient clan, Lin Mu was thinking about something else.

’Mulong... Fenlong... Mu Clan... Fen Clan...’ Lin Mu couldn’t help but repeat.

They seemed to be significantly similar to him and he wondered if there was some relation to all of them.

’This Miss Fen... is she related to the Royal Family too?’ Lin Mu wondered.

Jingming Shang furrowed his brows and came to the crux of the matter.

"Miss Fen... I understand that the Mu Clan is related to the ancient Mulong Clan, but what is your particular interest in it? I mean, there are a lot of smaller clans that were once related to the ancient clans.

We can literally find tens of people with the Zhou surname, and they may even be related to the Imperial family, but just how far is the relation, that matters too." Jingming Shang questioned.

Miss Fen looked at Jingming Shang and hesitated a bit before speaking.

"As you might all know, my Fen clan is technically related to the Royal Family of our Fenlong Kingdom as well. My mother was a lower member of the royal family and married into the branch, which split apart a long time ago.

This branch chose to keep ’Fen’ as their surname while letting go of the ’Long’ from their name. They thought at that time that keeping an imposing name such as ’Long’ might bring them trouble since they didn’t actually have the true power to back it up.

Still, deep down, my clansmen still wanted to one day gain back the old surname. We had been striving on it by becoming merchants and amassing a fortune. Of course, our clansmen did as much as they could do, by pursuing the path of cultivation as well, yet there weren’t really any people that had a good talent.

In my clan, I’m the only one that could be said to have a decent talent." Miss Fen explained.

Having heard her words the some of the council members nodded their heads while some of them just got more confused.

"I still don’t understand how this links up with you speaking for the Mu clan," Gun Kai questioned.

~Sigh~

"I’m not done yet... it’s just painful...

My elders pursued cultivation but couldn’t achieve much and thus they tried to find other ways to get stronger. The way we sought was bloodline assimilation. Of course, doing so is a difficult task and finding a suitable bloodline for everyone would be close to impossible.

But even then, we found an alchemist that was an expert at bloodline refinement. He did an analysis for us and told us that no bloodline would be compatible with us because... we still have an innate bloodline hidden within us." Miss Fen revealed.

~gasp~

The council members were far more shocked upon hearing this revelation. They couldn’t believe that the Fen Clan could have an innate bloodline. But what they were even more shocked about was that Miss Fen chose to reveal sensitive information like this.

Lin Mu was surprised by this too and felt like the more time he spent here, the deeper the web of mystery got for him. But while some of the members of the council were shocked, two of them were not convinced.

"Why would you say something like this, Miss Fen? No benefit comes to you by doing this." Shantung asked.

"I agree with senior Shantung this time." Jingming Shang added.

"That is why I said it was painful. The innate bloodline we have is the reason why our cultivation talent is not that good. The alchemist that we met told us that it is our own innate bloodline that suppresses our talent, and unless few fully awaken it we would not be able to reach our potential.

Of course, my elders were not convinced and tried to find a solution to this problem. One of them managed to get some of the ancestral scrolls from the Fenlong Kingdom’s royal library. In there we discovered that the Fenlong Clan and thus the Fen clan in relation was said to have peerless experts thousands of years ago.

But then an evil cultivator came and cursed them to never be able to cultivate. The ancestors managed to resist the curse, but it still managed to suppress the innate bloodline that they had. Over the years, information about the bloodline was lost as well, and now we know nothing about it.

We still continued our search and eventually found out about the Mulong Clan. It was even said that the Fenlong Kingdom took their name from being inspired by the Mulong clan once upon a time. This was because both were clans that were based around the ocean and practice water attribute cultivation techniques and skills." Miss Fen explained further.

Jingming Shang and Shantung nodded their heads as they finally understood the woman’s thinking. They understood that even if the information about the innate bloodline was revealed, it was not like they could take advantage of it.

’No wonder they seemed to be so different... the founders of the Fenlong Kingdom took inspiration from the Mulong clan.’ Lin Mu thought.

"Wait! So the reason you wanted to support the Mu clan is because of their relation to the Mulong Clan?" Gun Kai asked.

"Not just that," Miss Fen Shook her head. "I know for sure that the Mu Clan has some old records about the Mulong clan and my elders hoped that those records may contain something that may help us awaken our bloodline." She answered.

Lin Mu was a bit confused upon hearing her words, though.

’If they really wanted to find a way to awaken their bloodline, why would they pursue the records of the Mu clan. This is just hoping to find something. It is not even sure that they would have something like that.’ Lin Mu thought.
