Huang Xiao knew that Senior Shi had not understood what the Patriarch meant.
Shi Hen merely thought that all of them belonged to the Heavenly Demon Hall and thus counted as part of the same lineage.
But Huang Xiao knew that the Patriarch was mainly referring to the fact that they had come from the Central Plains and that the two of them were both members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Of course, the Heavenly Demon Hall was also a factor, so Shi Hen was not wrong in his thinking.
"Yes, I will certainly disappoint the God-Burying Hall and the Pang Family," Huang Xiao said.
Shi Hen laughed heartily. He had just said he hoped Huang Xiao would not disappoint him, yet Huang Xiao had answered that he would disappoint the God-Burying Hall and the Pang Family. That was rather amusing.
"That's the spirit." Huo Lian nodded.
"Senior Hall Master, how much longer is there until the contest for the Hall Master's Seat?" Huang Xiao asked.
"I don't have an exact date yet, but you don't have much time left," Huo Lian said gravely. "By my estimate, no more than three months."
"Three months? That soon? Hall Master, how did you arrive at such a precise estimate?" Shi Hen's expression changed as well.
"I happened to visit Mo Pozheng a while ago," Huo Lian said.
"The Tomb Clan's Clan Chief?" Shi Hen asked.
"That's right, him." Huo Lian nodded. "Their Tomb Clan has already emerged ahead of time. It's easier to contact them now."
Shi Hen nodded. Mo Pozheng's appearance back then had already proved that.
Normally, the Tomb Clan could only appear in the Jianghu during the Demon Hall's Thousand-Year Period.
But this time was different.
However, after Mo Pozheng's last appearance in the Jianghu, he had gone back.
