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 black-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 two large and empty chairs placed before them.
“Please,” Shen Jian sat on his seat and gestured for the patriarch and the black-clothed person to sit down while he studied the black-clothed man.
Although Jian Chen did not say anything, he also stared at the black-clothed man.
The patriarch laughed aloud and clasped his fist, “Brother Shen Jian, brother Jian Chen, looks like you already knew we were coming. I really must apologise that we’ve come so late. 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 particular, causing quite a lot of problems. The patriarch is already kind enough for not chasing us away,” Shen Jian clasped 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 clan.”
The black-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 clan. 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 clasped 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 my comprehension of the laws 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 clan. 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 clan 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 young lady of your esteemed clan. 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’s comprehension of the laws of the world has completely 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.
