Chapter 376 The Hernandez Family
Tomorrow was the day when the Clan Grand Competition began, and the three of them didn't dareto delay.
After leaving Vleah City, the scenery changed constantly along the way, passing through a desert.When they were close to Hudpids Mountains, they saw scattered oases first and then continuousgrasslands and forests. It looked quite charming.
After seeing those majestic mountains with an altitude of over 2, 000 meters in sight for nearly ahundred miles, they suddenly saw a village.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
"That village ahead is Hudpids Sect's reception point set up outside," Sophie introduced.
The car drove into the village and stopped in front of a small building that looked like an inn at thenorth end of it. Lachlan felt a strong ancient flavor from this "village" if not for electric poles standingaround; he would have thought he had traveled back in time.
At this moment, many cars had already parked on an empty space at the north end of this "village."
"So many people came?" Lachlan counted; there were fifty or sixty vehicles here. Were all thesepeople here for Clan Grand Competition?
"At the Clan Grand Competition, there are a total of eighteen ancient martial arts forces. The reasonfor the large number of people is that some families or sects have brought many participants. Forinstance, the Wood family has nearly ten young disciples competing. Additionally, there are someindependent cultivators who rely on their own strength and come to participate."
When Sophie explained this, there was a hint of desolation in her tone. The younger generation ofother ancient martial arts forces were flourishing with talent. In contrast, the Graham family hadbeen declining since the hidden Wood family destroyed their hidden lineage. Now, the only standoutwas Savannah, a lone genius, who also happened to be a girl...
Lachlan nodded and asked, "Will this Clan Grand Competition take place in this village?"
"Of course not! This is just a reception point set up by the Hudpids Sect. The Clan GrandCompetition will naturally take place within the Hudpids Sect's sect territory."
Savannah said impatiently, her expression as if she was calling Lachlan an ignorant bumpkin.
"Where is the sect located?" Lachlan asked with curiosity.
Sophie gave Lachlan a strange look and thought to herself, doesn't this well-connected "Mr. Willis"understand any of this?
"The reason it's called a hidden sect is because ordinary people cannot find it in the outside world.Generally, these hidden forces like families or sects have their own independent territories, sealedoff from the outside world using formations or other means. Rest assured, we will naturally enterwhen the time comes," Sophie explained.
Lachlan nodded, feeling the strange gaze Sophie had just given him, and decided not to ask anyfurther.
In the eyes of the Graham family, he "seemed to be" a descendant of a powerful ancient martial artsforce, and it was best to maintain this air of mystery.
Next, the three entered the quaint and picturesque inn, where they were registered by the HudpidsSect personnel responsible for reception.
"From the Graham family?" a female disciple of the Hudpids Sect glanced at Lachlan and theothers, her eyes showing a hint of disdain. "Just three of you?"
"Yes, three," Sophie nodded and said with a wry smile.
"In that case, just stay at the inn like those independent cultivators," the female disciple said, herlips curling in disdain.
Other families or forces were assigned temporary housing in the village, but obviously, the Grahamfamily, with only three individuals, didn't require it.
Despite being a prestigious ancient martial arts family, they were treated no differently than thoseindependent cultivators.
However, perhaps due to the inn having ample rooms, each of them was given their own.
After paying and receiving the room keys, Lachlan went back to tidy up and then went downstairs,ready to go out for a stroll.
This ancient-style village nestled among the mountains had beautiful surroundings, and he wantedto explore and appreciate the scenery.
Moreover, he could sense that in some places, the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth wasmuch richer than in ordinary human settlements.
As he walked to the inn's entrance, he came face to face with a group of people.
Seeing their aggressive and overbearing demeanor, Lachlan frowned, wanting to avoid anyunnecessary trouble.
"Get lost!" However, before he could react, a stern shout rang out.
The young man at the front directly kicked Lachlan.
Lachlan's expression changed as he hadn't expected him to attack, and he was caught off guard asthe kick landed in his abdomen. He grunted and staggered back, feeling a surge of energy andblood churning within him.
"What's your problem?" Lachlan suppressed the shock in his energy and blood, staring at theleading young man with anger.
The young man was sturdy, with short hair like steel needles, and a domineering and aggressivelook on his face as he coldly eyed Lachlan.
To his surprise, despite the kick, Lachlan seemed unharmed, which flashed a hint of astonishmentin the young man's expression. Although the kick was casual, he was a peak expert in the laterstage of the Uppecia realm. How could this guy not be injured?
"Good dog doesn't block the way! We are from the Hernandez family, and someone dares to blockour path? You blind fool, how dare you question us? How come Mr. Hernandez didn't kick you todeath?" At this moment, a long-haired man beside the young man approached, pointing atLachlan's nose, arrogantly cursing.
"The Hernandez family?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow, recalling Simeon, Stephen, and othersmentioning the Mighty Sky War God, Kamryn Hernandez, during his time in Iylonio.
The family of that Mighty Sky War God seemed to be the Hernandez family, also located in theNading State realm. Could these people be from the Hernandez family?
The scene at the entrance immediately drew the attention of others registering or staying at the inn.Upon hearing the long-haired man's words, discussions broke out.
"People of the Hernandez family?"
"No wonder they're so domineering! Tsk tsk..."
"Their backing is the Hudpids Sect, and they are one of the four most powerful ancient martial artsfamilies. Not only that, in the secular military, their influence is considerable, with a Mighty Sky WarGod among them!"
"Bro, he's from the Hernandez family, it's better to let it go and not cause trouble for yourself,"someone kindly advised Lachlan.
At that moment, Arlo Hernandez, the leading young man of the Hernandez family, coldly looked atLachlan and sneered, "You blind fool, why don't you scram? What are you staring at? If I kick you,would you still resist?"
Lachlan remained composed, standing still and replied, "What if I don't move?"
Hearing this, Arlo and his companions were momentarily stunned, seemingly not expectingsomeone to challenge them.
"Bastard, which family do you belong to?" Arlo raised an eyebrow and asked. In his mind, hethought, could this guy be from those families? Otherwise, where does the courage come from tochallenge him?
