Chapter 2356: People from the G.o.d clan
The peak experts affected by Hun Zang’s Martial Soul Force had all recovered now. They did not bother about settling their debts with Hun Zang. Instead, all of them stared at the old man who had suddenly appeared with ugly expressions.
Even if they ignored the old man’s strength, the Heaven-splitting clan he represented was enough to stifle everyone present.
This was all because of their Heaven-splitting Ancestor!
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor was one of the most powerful experts below Grand Exalt. The first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng stood at the same level. They were both figures revered by people in the Saints’ World.
These peak experts had taken such drastic measures to search for the Anatta Tower because they wanted to hand it over to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. If they did that, they could establish ties with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng through the merit of their service.
But at this moment, someone from the Heaven-splitting clan had suddenly appeared. They wanted to take Jian Chen away, which was a horrible matter for all the peak experts gathered here.
They could never afford to offend the Heaven-splitting clan!
Even Hun Zang’s heart sank when he heard the Heaven-splitting clan!
The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall also felt that this was a horrible matter. Jian Chen possessed the Grand Exalt’s cultivation method. He could not allow the cultivation method to end up in the hands of the Martial Soul lineage, but he felt powerless now that the Heaven-splitting clan had thrown their hat into the ring.
“Does your Heaven-splitting clan want the Anatta Tower as well?” asked a peak expert regretfully with a frown.
They had gone to extremely great lengths to find Jian Chen. They had searched through the entire Desolate Plane time and time again. Now that they finally found him, someone from the Heaven-splitting clan suddenly appeared, wanting to take Jian Chen away. Would that not mean all their efforts during those years would be for nothing, and they were taken advantage of in the end?
This made all of them resentful.
The old man snorted coldly. He said in complete disdain, “It’s only a damaged G.o.d artifact. Why would it catch the eye of our Heaven-splitting clan? I’ve only come under master’s orders to take Jian Chen away. You can fight over that tower as much as you like.”
Everyone became relieved from that. At the same time, they felt shocked. All of them looked at Jian Chen with mixed feelings.
Naturally, they knew who the master the old man was referring to. Aside from the legendary Heaven-splitting Ancestor, who else had the right to make such a powerful expert refer to them as master?
Jian Chen was only a G.o.dking, yet he could raise the attention of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, and even make him personally give orders to send an expert over to protect him.
It did not matter what intentions the Heaven-splitting Ancestor had for protecting Jian Chen. What was certain was that once this news made it out, all the people who wanted to lay their hands on Jian Chen would need to carefully consider the consequences.
“Jian Chen, give the Anatta Tower to them, and then come back to the Heaven-splitting clan with me. If you can get the support of my master, there will be no need for you to go to such great lengths to establish ties with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng,” the old man from the Heaven-splitting clan said to Jian Chen.
Jian Chen remained expressionless. He asked sternly, “Junior is very confused. Junior has nothing to do with the Heaven-splitting clan, and junior doesn’t know the Heaven-splitting ancestor either. May I ask just why the Heaven-splitting Ancestor wants me?”
“You will naturally find out once you arrive at the Heaven-splitting clan,” replied the old man from the Heaven-splitting clan.
“Hmph. Unless the Heaven-splitting Ancestor comes personally, don’t you even think about taking Jian Chen away,” at this moment, Hun Zan called out. Suddenly, he began to s.h.i.+ne with blinding light, and he seemed to become one with the Martial Soul Mountain in outer s.p.a.ce. Their powers completely fused together.
It was not just that; the six figures seated on the Martial Soul Mountain also shone like Hun Zang. Their vital energies and all their powers seemed to combine together in that instance before fusing with Hun Zang through the illusionary Martial Soul Mountain.
As a result, not only did Hun Zang fuse with the power from the Martial Soul Mountain, but even the six other members of the Martial Soul lineage had completely fused their powers with Hun Zan through a special method.
Immediately, Hun Zang’s presence became extremely terrifying. All the peak experts gathered nearby frowned. They became afraid.
“The legendary Martial Soul Array of the Martial Soul lineage really is worthy of its name. However, this isn’t the Martial Soul Mountain, so the amount of power you can borrow from the Martial Soul Mountain is extremely limited. A mere projection of the Martial Soul Mountain is not enough for you to do whatever you want,” said the old man from the Heaven-splitting clan coldly. He immediately used a palm strike. His hand seemed to fuse with the surroundings and the laws, crus.h.i.+ng down on Hun Zang with the supreme mysteries of the world.
But at this moment, a staff appeared out of nowhere. It gently struck the old man’s hand.
Immediately, a devastating might erupted; it directly ripped through s.p.a.ce and created a fist-sized black hole. It devoured everything in the surroundings, sucking away all the energy there.
The old man from the Heaven-splitting clan remained the same as before after the strike, but the staff that had appeared out of nowhere dimmed.
An old woman appeared silently, and the staff returned to her hands.
“I was already expecting the G.o.d clan to send people over, but I never thought it would actually be you. It looks like that young leader of your G.o.d clan really does place great importance on Jian Chen, actually sending a hall elder.” The old man from the Heaven-splitting clan looked at the old woman calmly.
“What! A hall elder of the G.o.d clan!” The expressions of all the experts gathered there changed after learning the old woman’s ident.i.ty and background.
In the past, the G.o.d clan was known as the greatest clan in the Saints’ World. They were the undisputed most powerful organisation. However, ever since the War G.o.d pa.s.sed away, they had declined and lost that t.i.tle.
However, even with that being the case, the G.o.d clan was still among the handful of peak organisations in the Saints’ World. Their heritage was extremely deep. Very few people dared to provoke them.
“Tu San, since you know Jian Chen is someone that our War G.o.d holds dearly, you should also understand that you won’t be able to take Jian Chen away,” said the hall elder, Tyne. She knew what kind of person the Heaven-splitting Ancestor was and knew even better that he definitely had some sort of unknown motive for taking Jian Chen away.
As a result, she could not allow Jian Chen to be taken away by the people of the Heaven-splitting clan.
Tu San shook his head, and a sliver of disdain flashed through his eyes. He said, “The current G.o.d clan is no longer the G.o.d clan of the past. Before your little War G.o.d truly matures, you have no right to speak to our Heaven-splitting clan like that. Moreover, unless a great elder of your G.o.d clan comes personally, you hall elders aren’t my opponent.”
Tyne’s eyes turned cold when she heard that. She said slowly, “I never thought that a clan so insignificant that they were unworthy of our G.o.d clan’s attention would try to dominate our G.o.d clan today. Tu San, since you’re so confident, I would like to see whether you can defeat me, an early Grand Prime, with your strength as a mid Grand Prime.” With that, Tyne pointed her staff at Tu San. Immediately, a dense, green light enveloped him.
In the next moment, the two of them vanished.
“Hun Zang, take Jian Chen back to the Martial Soul Mountain as soon as possible. Don’t let the people of the Heaven-splitting clan get a hold of him. The Heaven-splitting Ancestor isn’t someone who would be up to any good.”
When Tyne vanished, her voice rang out in Hun Zang’s head.
