Chapter 1702: Information Regarding the Treasure
The patriarch directly arrived before the seventh hall. He did not directly enter and instead got a guard to pass on the message to Shen Jian. He would only take the ck-clothed person behind him into the hall after obtaining Shen Jian’s permission.
Jian Chen and Shen Jian sat on chairs within the hall. They seemed like they had been waiting for quite some time already. There were tworge and empty chairs ced before them.
“Please,” Shen Jian sat on his seat and gestured for the patriarch and the ck-clothed person to sit down while he studied the ck-clothed man.
Although Jian Chen did not say anything, he also stared at the ck-clothed man.
The patriarchughed aloud and sped his fist, “Brother Shen Jian, brother Jian Chen, looks like you already knew we wereing. I really must apologise that we’vee sote. We’ve made you wait.
“There’s no need to be so polite, patriarch. We’ve disturbed you for several months now, with today in particr, causing quite a lot of problems. The patriarch is already kind enough for not chasing us away,” Shen Jian sped his fist back at him.
The patriarch shrugged indifferently and said, “Brother Shen Jian is exaggerating. It’s all because the two of you that my daughter didn’t suffer too much abuse. Really, it should be me thanking you instead.” The patriarch paused slightly after reaching this point. He looked at the person beside him, and he revealed an expression of reverence. He said, “Brother Shen Jian, brother Jian Chen, I’d like to introduce you to the ancestor of our Mo n.”
The ck-clothed person removed the veiled hat and revealed his bald head. The bald head shone brightly under candle-light, making it quite eye-catching.
To no surprise, the man was the God of the Mo n. With his strength, he did not need to give any prior warning when entering the halls. He could even directly enter the halls if he wished and the guards would not discover him either. However, to show respect for Shen Jian, he had gone through the usual process in this visit.
“I am Mo Ling. The two esteemed guests are far too polite,” the ancestor sped his fist towards Jian Chen and Shen Jian. He did not put on a haughty appearance at all.
Jian Chen and Shen Jian both stood up to return the greetings of the ancestor. They asked about each other’s well being before all sitting down.
“I’ve been spending the recent years in secluded cultivation so that I could deepen myprehension of thews of the world and thus break through to mid God. It has already been a very long time since I’ve paid attention to the affairs of the Mo n. When brother Shen Jian struck out today, your powerful Laws of the Sword stirred me and only after leaving seclusion did I discover that our Mo n actually had an esteemed guest like brother Shen Jian. I have been impolite, so please forgive me,” the ancestor said sincerely. He was telling the truth. If he had known Shen Jian’s strength earlier, he definitely would have emerged from seclusion much earlier on to receive him personally.
“Brother Mo Ling is just too polite. Speaking of which, the two of us were saved by the youngdy of your esteemed n. We still haven’t been able to thank her,” Shen Jian said.
“Did something like that happen?” Mo Ling purposefully acted surprised. He became slightly curious and asked, “Brother Shen Jian’sprehension of thews of the world haspletely exceeded mine, so I believe no Deity is still brother Shen Jian’s opponent. Was the person who injured brother Shen Jian a God?”
Shen Jian did not reply. He looked at Jian Chen as if he was directing the question to him.
Jian Chen thought through everything quickly before nodding back at him.
However, Shen Jian’s actions had caught the interest of the ancestor of the Mo n. He studied Jian Chen secretly and tried to guess what was going on. This was because he could not tell Jian Chen’s strength urately. Just from the vague presence he gave off, he felt that Jian Chen was at the Origin realm, yet also at Godhood. He was unable to tell clearly.
“Brother Mo Ling is right. The person who injured the two of us back then was indeed a God,” said Shen Jian.
“There are only so many Gods in our Dong’an province. May I ask who the God was? I might just happen to know them, so I’ll be able to provide some information or even provide some secret help,” said the ancestor. His face had already be rather stern. He had to be cautious about being drawn into the disagreements between other Gods.
“It’s the ancestor of the Lu family,” Jian Chen said very calmly.
“It’s actually Lu Tian!” Mo Ling beamed with joy. He seemed slightly ecstatic.
The patriarch who sat beside him smiled happily as well. At that moment, he suddenly felt his entire body lighten by a substantial amount.
He still felt rather nervous when he learnt that the person who injured Shen Jian and Jian Chen was a God. He was afraid of identally provoking the Gods of other organisations. However, after learning that the God who injured Shen Jian and Jian Chen was actually the ancestor of the Lu family, both of them became extremely relieved.
Currently, the greatest threat that the Mo n faced came from the Lu family. The Lu family had already be the greatest enemy of the Mo n, yet Shen Jian, whoseprehension had already reached mid God and possessed extremely terrifying strength, just happened to have grievances with him as well. With that being that case, there was nothing they needed to fear when trying to rope in the two of them. They could even work together.
If Shen Jian wished to assist the Mo n, then even if the Lu family and the Ando n banded together, they would still be able to hold their ground.
Jian Chen immediately became interested when he saw how relieved and joyful the patriarch and the ancestor had be. He asked, “Does your Mo n have grievances with the Lu family?”
“That’s right. The Lu family is indeed the enemy of our Mo n,” Mo Ling said happily. After a moment of hesitation, determination flooded his eyes, and he said, “Brother Shen Jian, brother Jian Chen, I’ll tell you the truth. Our Mo n, the Lu family, and the Ando n all possess a treasure. Through this treasure, we can enter a secret ce that possesses great fortune. Originally, our three ns possessed rather simr power, so we were at peace with each other. However, ever since Yu’er appeared in our Mo n, the bnce was broken.”
Jian Chen’s interest was piqued when he heard Mo Ling mention a treasure because he had also obtained a treasure from the hands of the Lu family.
A gleam of light shone through Shen Jian’s eyes as well, but he did not show anything on his face.
Mo Ling continued, “Yu’er’s talent is very great. She reached Godhood in an extremely short amount of time, and if she were to continue with this speed, she would be a God before long. However, it was exactly because of Yu’er’s existence that the Lu family and the Ando n became uneasy. They were afraid that Yu’er would be able to grow to a point where she would directly threaten the two ns, where they might not even be able to keep their treasures any longer. As a result, the Lu family and the Ando n had begun coborating secretly in the past few years. They’ll be waging a destructive war against our n at any time.
“The coboration between the Lu family and the Ando n would mean that they possess two Gods. Holding any one of them back with my own strength is no difficulty, but I’ll only be able to flee desperately if I have to face both of them.”
Mo Ling looked at Shen Jian and Jian Chen and asked sincerely, “Brother Shen Jian, brother Jian Chen, since you already have grievances with the Lu family, I hope you can work with us in fending off the two ns. As long as brother Shen Jian is willing to assist our Mo n, we’ll be willing to share the fortune granted by the treasure with you.”
“Brother Mo Ling, may I ask if you recognise this?” At this moment, an exquisitely-crafted box appeared in Jian Chen’s hand. He opened it without any hesitation. An iplete piece of jadey inside quietly.
