Chapter 1678: Roping Them In

Several hours later, Shen Jian’s breakthrough finally came to a close successfully. As his powerful presence was gradually withdrawn, he suddenly snapped open his eyes.

The moment Shen Jian snapped open his eyes, a light flashed through his eyes. It bore an extremely sharp sword intent. When the six elders of the Mo clan saw it, their hearts all trembled uncontrollably without any exception. Shen Jian’s gaze alone made them feel pressured.

The patriarch of the Mo clan’s eyes suddenly narrowed as well. His gaze towards Shen Jian underwent a drastic change as well. There was some sternness.

“This person is strong. Although he has only just broken through to early Deity, there are probably very few early Deities who are his opponent,” thought the patriarch. Before Shen Jian could say anything, the Mo clan patriarch clasped his fist towards Shen Jian with a smile and said, “I am the patriarch of the Mo clan, Mo Yan. Congratulations, brother Shen Jian, on breaking through to Godhood. From today onwards, our Dong’an province has gained a new Godhood expert.”

The Mo clan patriarch spoke extremely politely. Coupled with his current expression and attitude, people who had no idea really would have believed that the patriarch and Shen Jian had met each other long ago and were quite close.

Shen Jian responded to the patriarch by clasping his fist, “You flatter me, patriarch. There are quite a lot of Godhood experts in the Dong’an province. I’m only someone who has reached Godhood recently, so I’m nothing worth mentioning. I am sure I have caused quite some trouble with my brother over the past few days by recovering in your clan.”

The patriarch shrugged and said without caring much at all, “What trouble? Brother Shen Jian is too polite. It was just that my daughter Yan’er isn’t very sensible. She actually did not even notify me of your visit, so I couldn’t receive you properly.” As he said that, he glared at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan stuck out her tongue and pulled a face at the patriarch. However, she was ecstatic inside. She had never thought that she would do the same thing as her father and save a Godhood expert from outside.

Shen Jian and the patriarch spoke some more. The patriarch became stern and said, “I truly am sorry for failing to receive you properly. May I ask brother Shen Jian which sect or clan you come from? That way, I can visit you in the future and personally make it up to you.”

Both Jian Chen and Shen Jian understood that the patriarch was probing into their backgrounds when they heard this question.

“I may have to disappoint the patriarch. We’ve only arrived in the Saints’ World recently, so we don’t belong to any organisation,” replied Shen Jian.

The patriarch was surprised inside. He asked in amazement, “You’ve come to the Saints’ World recently? Does that mean you came from a lower world?”

“Correct,” Shen Jian replied.
