Chapter 1702: Information Regarding the Treasure (2/2)
However, Shen Jian’s actions had caught the interest of the ancestor of the Mo clan. He studied Jian Chen secretly and tried to guess what was going on. This was because he could not tell Jian Chen’s strength accurately. 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 become 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 accidentally 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 clan faced came from the Lu family. The Lu family had already become the greatest enemy of the Mo clan, yet Shen Jian, whose comprehension 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 clan, then even if the Lu family and the Ando clan 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 become. He asked, “Does your Mo clan have grievances with the Lu family?”
“That’s right. The Lu family is indeed the enemy of our Mo clan,” 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 clan, the Lu family, and the Ando clan all possess a treasure. Through this treasure, we can enter a secret place that possesses great fortune. Originally, our three clans possessed rather similar power, so we were at peace with each other. However, ever since Yu’er appeared in our Mo clan, the balance 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 become a God before long. However, it was exactly because of Yu’er’s existence that the Lu family and the Ando clan became uneasy. They were afraid that Yu’er would be able to grow to a point where she would directly threaten the two clans, where they might not even be able to keep their treasures any longer. As a result, the Lu family and the Ando clan had begun collaborating secretly in the past few years. They’ll be waging a destructive war against our clan at any time.
“The collaboration between the Lu family and the Ando clan 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 clans. As long as brother Shen Jian is willing to assist our Mo clan, 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 incomplete piece of jade lay inside quietly.
