Chapter 1706: A Gathering of Gods


    After reaching mid Deity, Shen Jian spent several days consolidating his cultivation before he emerged from secluded cultivation.


    “When do we set off?” Shen Jian immediately asked when he saw Jian Chen. The two of them spared the small talk, as they no longer needed things like that with their current rtionship.


    “Tonight,” said Jian Chen. He revealed heavy killing intent in his eyes. The ancestor of the Lu family knew his greatest secret, so he needed to eliminate the ancestor regardless of the price.


    Shen Jian nodded. Even if he were alone, he could put up a fight against an early God after breaking through to mid Deity, coupled with his major achievement of Sword Origin. If Jian Chen were present, killing an early God would no longer be a problem.


    On the same night, Jian Chen and Shen Jian left the Mo n quietly. Only the God in the Mo n, the ancestor, seemed to have sensed their departure, while everyone else, including the patriarch, knew nothing.


    From within the depths of the Mo n, Mo Ling stared outside as his eyes shone with an eager light. He murmured, “Looks like Shen Jian and Jian Chen are already moving against the Lu family. They’ve already be rather eager just after breaking through. Looks like they’re vengeful people, yet they just happen to possess such great power and talent as well. We can’t offend people like that no matter what, unless we arepletely confident about killing them. Otherwise, even thoserge ns and sects across the Saints’ World won’t be able to withstand their wrath once they fully mature.”


    “Just how lucky was Mo Yan? Just some people she saved outside would be so impressive. I wonder if they’re a blessing or a curse to our Mo n. In the present at the very least, they’re a blessing I guess.”


    ......


    ...


    Shen Jian and Jian Chen shot towards the Lu family. Under their full speed, they crossed over a billion kilometers in just a few hours and arrived near the Lu family.


    This time, Jian Chen and Shen Jian hade prepared. They hadplete confidence in preventing the Lu family ancestor from fleeing likest time.


    Once the ancestor of the Lu family was dead, the other people in the Lu family would no longer be able to pose a threat to the two of them at all. At that time, all the wealth that the Lu family had umted across the years would belong to them. Although the wealth might not be enough for Jian Chen to reach the tenthyer of the Chaotic Body, it would be more than enough for Shen Jian to break through again. It might even be enough for him to directly be a God.


    Once Shen Jian became a God, they would have the power to put up a fight even against the more powerful ns in the Dong’an province with Jian Chen and Mo Ling backing him up.


    “Oh no, so many Gods have appeared in the Lu family.” However, Jian Chen’s face changed as soon as they approached the Lu family. He and Shen Jian immediately erased their presences and approached carefully.


    These Gods all gave off powerful presences in the Lu family, and with so many standing close to one another, the presence became even stronger. It could be even be sensed from far away, so Jian Chen had discovered the Gods while they had not discovered him as they were too distant.


    Jian Chen and Shen Jian approached the Lu family carefully. They discovered from afar that there were actually six Gods in the air above the Lu family. They were all bathed in light, making it impossible to see them clearly. They stood there as six sources of light that illuminated the surroundings while their shing presences enveloped the entire Lu family.


    “Lu family, think about it. Are you willing to work with our Desen n?” At this moment, a dignified voice rang out from above the Lu family. One of the Gods had spoken.


    “Lu family, our Shangyun n sincerely invites you to join forces with us. What do you think of it?” A second dignified voice rang out as well. It was another God.


    “Our Jin family invites the patriarch of the Lu family to visit...”


    “Our Kang family also invites the patriarch of the Lu family to visit...”


    ......


    ...


    All six Gods above the Lu family spoke out. They all represented their own, powerful ns.


    From afar, Jian Chen and Shen Jian became stern when they saw this scene. They were not unfamiliar with the ns that these six Gods represented. They were all from the more powerful ns in the Dong’an province. Any single one of them was far more powerful than the Mo n, Atomos Sword sect, Ando n, or Lu family.


    This was because the minimum standard to gain a footing in the provincial city was to possess three early Gods, and that was only the minimum. In reality, many of the ns in the provincial city possessed mid Gods or evente Gods.


    “Looks like news of the Lu family’s high grade divine crystal mine has been leaked and many more powerful ns have learnt about it,” Shen Jian said gruffly. What they least wanted to see had finally happened.


    At this moment, another God’s presence rapidly appeared from the distance. An old man flew towards the Lu family with lightning speed. His face sunk drastically when he saw the several Gods gathered in the sky.


    “Ancestor, you’ve finally returned,” the patriarch of the Lu family immediately became relieved when he saw the old man arrive. The gathering of Gods from many powerful ns in the Dong’an province had pressured the patriarch of the Lu family heavily.


    The old man was the ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Tian. At such an important moment, he had finally hurried back from the royal city. However, he had never expected the matter that he least wanted to see would happen as soon as he hade back.


    Lu Tian hovered in the sky with a sunken face. After a moment of silence, he sped his hands towards the Gods and said, “Everyone, please gather in the main hall.”


    The six Gods all sped their fists towards Lu Tian. After all, Lu Tian was also a fellow God. He possessed a simr status to them. They all followed Lu Tian into the Lu family.


    “Looks like we can’t kill Lu Tian for now,” Jian Chen said to Shen Jian secretly while keeping his presence hidden.


    Shen Jian nodded and asked, “What do we do now?”


    After a moment of silence, Jian Chen gritted his teeth, “Let’s go to the Dark Cloud Mountains and hope that the powerful ns haven’t sent anyone there.”


    Immediately, the two of them set off.


    A ck-clothed man stood before a middle-aged man in luxurious robes in a bow within arge manor in the provincial city.


    “Patriarch, the news about the Dark Cloud Mountains has been leaked. Quite a few ns in the provincial city have learnt about it, and several Gods have already gone to the Lu family,” said the ck-clothed man.


    The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed and he sighed gently, “It has already been leaked? Looks like you really can’t contain fire with paper. We’ve already devoted ourselves to locking down the news, yet they still learnt about it. It’s just that they’re moving a little too quickly. Ancestor Yan is still out journeying right now... Zhan Yi, you can go.”


    Under the request of the ancestor from the Lu family, Ando Fu emerged from a cave while guarding the Dark Cloud Mountains. He said helplessly, “The powerful ns have still ended up learning about this ce in the end. Sigh, all those Gods have already gone to the Lu family. Before long, someone else will own this mine. There’s no point in me guarding this ce any longer.”


    Ando Fu arrived at the chasm and directly found one of the elders stationed there. He said, “The people of the Dong’an province have already gone to the Lu family, so I’ve alsopleted Lu Tian’s request. I am going to leave soon.”


    The elder bowed towards Ando Fu politely before offering up a Space Ring. He said, “We’ve troubled senior.”


    Ando Fu epted the Space Ring and checked through it. He nodded in satisfaction before leaving without any reluctance at all.
