Chapter 811: Mistress of Three Saint Island (2/2)

“Senior, do you know much about the protector clans? Are you able to tell junior about it?” Jian Chen asked.

The Heavenly Enchantress eyed Jian Chen plainly and said, “With your current strength, you should know about this. The ten protector clans are the most powerful organisations on the continent, other than Mercenary City. They have existed for an extremely lengthy amount of time, having already existed even before Mo Tianyun had appeared in the ancient times. Of the ten clans, four are sects, three are schools, two are clans and one is a pavilion. The four sects are the Potian sect, Shenxiao sect, Yangji sect and Yiyuan sect.”

“The Yangji sect! I’d never thought they’re actually a protector clan!” Jian Chen murmured hoarsely. He could not help but think about the small sect he had wiped out in the past in the Qiangan Kingdom.

The Heavenly Enchantress continued, “The three schools are the Heaven’s Incense school, the Tyrant’s Blade school and the Heartless school, while the remaining two clans and pavilion are the Changyang clan, Moyuan clan and Pure Heart Pavilion respectively.”

“The Changyang clan!” As soon as he heard that, Jian Chen was startled. He could not help but think of the Changyang clan in Lore City. However, he then laughed at himself. The Changyang clan he was born into was only a small clan in Lore City. The strongest was only Uncle Chang as a Heaven Saint Master. The disparity would be huge if it was compared to the protector Changyang clan.

“Looks like it’s most likely just a coincidence. If the Changyang clan of Lore City was really a part of the ten protector clans, why would they have been suppressed to such a level by the Hua Yun sect?” Jian Chen thought. However, he then seemed to think of something, and a sliver of light immediately flashed across his eyes, “Wait, the descendent expelled from the protector clans.”

Jian Chen’s expression changed several times before asking out, “Senior, what is the name of the person expelled from the protector clans?”

“He is Changyang Zu Yunkong.” The Heavenly Enchantress replied softly.

“Changyang Zu Yunkong. Is he perhaps a member of the Changyang clan? The ancestor of my Changyang clan just happened to have disappeared a very long time ago. Is this a coincidence?” Jian Chen muttered softly, while his expression changed several times quickly again. He then clasped his hands at the Heavenly Enchantress and requested, “Senior, is it possible for me to see this person?”

“He is already asleep. Don’t create too great of a commotion and awaken him, or he’ll suffer great injuries.” The Heavenly Enchantress spoke softly, carrying a bewitching charm with her words.

With her permission, Jian Chen did not hesitate at all. He entered the cave with a blur.

The cave was filled with fist-sized luminous pearls which gave off a soft light, illuminating the entire cave. When Jian Chen had traveled a hundred meters in, the space before him suddenly opened. He had arrived at a huge cavern of several dozen meters in radius. Currently, the walls were covered with cracks while some loose pebbles lay scattered across a floor covered with ditches. It was a mess.

In the centre of the cavern stood Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue. Meanwhile, a dishevelled, tattered-clothed, beggar-like old man slept soundly before them.

Jian Chen gently walked over and stared fixedly at the old man on the ground. The old man’s face was ancient and haggard. He was currently sleeping peacefully.

“Be careful, don’t wake him up.” A pleasant voice sounded in Jian Chen’s ear. It was one of the woman with the zithers.

Jian Chen examined the old man’s appearance, while the light in his eyes constantly flickered. After a slight hesitation, he said, “I want to ask him some things.”

“No. Once he wakes up, it’ll attract the mysteries of the world, and the seal in his mind will be triggered. He’ll suffer great pain.” Jian Chen’s request was immediately shot down by the other woman.

“What relationship do you have with Changyang Zu Yunkong?” Suddenly, a charming voice appeared. The Heavenly Enchantress walked in elegantly with the Zither of the Demonic Cry. Her voice was extremely plain, without the slightest emotion.

Jian Chen paused slightly and said, “Senior, my original name wasn’t Jian Chen, but rather Changyang Xiangtian. I was born to the Changyang clan of a small kingdom. The original founder of my clan, the Changyang ancestor, was a Heaven Saint Master, and it just so happens that he’s been missing for a very long time. I suspect that this old man called Changyang Zu Yunkong might be the ancestor of my Changyang clan. I wish that senior can awaken him and allow junior to ask him about his identity.”

After a slight deliberation, the Heavenly Enchantress orders, “Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, play the soul-comforting melody.”

“Yes master!” The two women did not hesitate at all before crossing their legs mid-air and placing their zithers on their knees. As their fingers moved slightly, a wonderful zither sound was immediately generated.

It was gentle, filled with serenity. It seemed to be able to comfort the emotions of a person, to allow that person to calm down. When the music reached Jian Chen’s ears, his slightly excited and frantic feelings also disappeared very quickly and was replaced by a calmness.

The Heavenly Enchantress touched a string of her zither with an elegant finger. With a slight trembling, a note appeared that immediately began to slowly wake the sleeping old man.
