When elder Yun left for Maple Leaf City, the patriarch of the Lu family did not end the meeting. He said to the seven Godhood elders seated there, "Elders, please stay here with me and wait for elder Yun's news. The identity of the mysterious expert who attacked our divine crystal mine and is suspected to be a God is extremely important to us." The patriarch of the Lu family spoke extremely politely. Godhood elders possessed extremely great statuses in the Lu family. Even though he was the patriarch, he still needed to treat them politely. He was unable to forcefully order them to do anything.
The elders also understood the severity of the situation. After exchanging a few more polite words with the patriarch, they all sat down and closed their eyes to rest, waiting for elder Yun's return.
The next day, Elder Yun who had gone to Maple Leaf City returned to the Lu clan covered in dust. His return immediately attracted the attention of the patriarch of the Lu clan and the other seven Godhood elders. Everyone's gazes gathered on him. The patriarch of the Lu clan asked eagerly, "Elder Yun, have you investigated thoroughly? Has the Flying Snow sword of Maple Leaf City been bought by the mysterious expert of the Mo clan? "
This piece of news was extremely important to the Lu family. If the Flying Snow sword really was in the hands of the Mo clan, they were basically certain that the mysterious expert who attacked the Dark Cloud Mountains was a part of the Mo clan. If he was not, it meant that the Lu family already had a third God as an enemy.
Elder Yun made his way to his seat and sat down. Only then did he say, "I've investigated. The Flying Snow sword of Maple Leaf City has indeed been sold. The person who bought it is the Mo clan."
The patriarch of the Lu family became relieved when he heard that. He said, "It looks like the mysterious expert of the Mo clan was the one who attacked our divine crystal mine. He was also the one who said that our Lu family would be destroyed soon. Fortunately, our Lu family hasn't offended any other Gods."
The patriarch of the Lu family glanced past the eight elders and continued, "Although the Mo clan basically has two Gods now, which is enough to completely overwhelm our Lu family, they still don't dare to touch us because they're afraid that they'll force us into a corner and we'll leak the news of the Divine King Duanmu's tomb. That way, they won't be able to obtain anything. However, don't worry, elders. The Mo clan won't be around for much longer. Once the ancestor returns, even if the Mo clan has two Gods, they won't be able to escape destruction in the end. "
After the meeting, the Lu Clan Patriarch immediately reported the identity of the mysterious expert who attacked the Dark Cloud Mountain Range to the Lu Clan Ancestor.
"Don't act recklessly. I'll settle the debt with the Mo clan once I return. Also, keep a close eye on the people the Mo clan has planted in the provincial city. I don't wish for the news of Divine King Duanmu's tomb to be leaked by the people the Mo clan has hidden in the provincial city after we've gone to such great lengths to destroy the Mo clan." At the same time, he thought to himself, "Hmph, Mo clan, do you really think Old Man doesn't know that you've planted people in the provincial city long ago? It's just a pity that our Lu family has already grasped the identities of all the people you've planted in the provincial city. Don't even think about using the news of the Divine King Duanmu's tomb to threaten us. "
.....
A dignified middle-aged man in luxurious robes sat in a study within an extremely large mansion in the provincial city. He read through a scroll with great concentration, and he would frown from time to time.
"Patriarch, Zhan Yi wishes to see you," at this moment, a deep voice rang out from outside.
The middle-aged man's face lit up when he heard that. He immediately closed the scroll and said, "Come in."
The door to the study was gently pushed open, and a black-clothed man walked in. As soon as the black-clothed man entered, the middle-aged man cast down a barrier with a wave of his hand, enveloping the entire study. Afterwards, he stared at Zhan Yi in interest and asked, "Zhan Yi, do you have any more important news?"
Zhan Yi bowed towards the middle-aged man and said, "Patriarch, we've already grasped the identities of the two people the Lu family is searching for. They're called Shen Jian and Jianchen. Shen Jian has only broken through to Godhood recently. The two of them currently reside in the Mo clan."
"He just broke through to the God Realm not long ago? In other words, this person called Shen Jian was only at the Origin realm in the past. I refuse to believe that the Lu family would be interested in an Origin realm expert for no reason. Zhan Yi, do you know why the Lu family is searching for the two of them? "The middle-aged man asked.
Zhan Yi said, "We still don't know why the Lu family is searching for the two of them, but the two of them were saved by the young miss of the Mo clan when they were heavily injured. Before long, Shen Jian reached Godhood in the Mo clan, and the patriarch even specially built an elder's residence for Shen Jian."
"The two of them were saved by the young miss of the Mo clan when they were heavily injured? Are their injuries related to the Lu family? "The middle-aged man murmured as he sank into his thoughts.
"Patriarch, I've also found out that Jianchen and Shen Jian had visited Maple Leaf City in the past and were interested in the Flying Snow sword. However, they did not purchase it back then. After they left the city, the Mo clan purchased the Flying Snow sword. And yesterday, the Dark Cloud Mountains of the Lu family were attacked by a mysterious expert who was suspected to be a God. The mysterious expert comprehended the Laws of the Sword, and when he struck out, snow fell from the sky. I've specially investigated this matter. In our Dong 'an province, none of the famous experts who comprehended the Laws of the Sword would be accompanied by snow when they struck out. As a result, it was definitely caused by the Flying Snow sword, "said Zhan Yi.
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Zhan Yi, are you saying that the mysterious expert who attacked the Dark Cloud Mountains was Jianchen who was saved by the Mo clan?"
"That's only my guess," said Zhan Yi. He paused before continuing, "Patriarch, there's another important matter that I need to report to you. A high grade divine crystal has appeared in the Dark Cloud Mountains of the Lu family."
"What! A high grade divine crystal? "The middle-aged man was surprised before becoming overjoyed. Low grade divine crystal mines basically only produced low grade divine crystals. There would be mid grade divine crystals from time to time, but they were extremely rare. If a high grade divine crystal had been excavated, it meant that the divine crystal mine was mid grade at the very least, or even high grade.
"Has the news of the high grade divine crystal been leaked?" The middle-aged man immediately asked. He was extremely stern.
"All the miners in the Dark Cloud Mountains have been killed. Even most of the guards there have been killed. The remaining people have been controlled by the Lu family. Aside from the mysterious expert who was suspected to be a God and the upper echelon of the Lu family, no one else should know about the high grade divine crystal," said Zhan Yi.
"Good! Good! Good! Zhan Yi, you've done us a great service this time. However, you can't leak the news of the high grade divine crystal. Although the Lu family has sealed off the news as well, I'm afraid they might miss something. Zhan Yi, gather all your forces and assist the Lu family in sealing off the news of the high grade divine crystal. You have to make sure that the news of the high grade divine crystal doesn't spread in the provincial city, "said the middle-aged man.
"Don't worry, patriarch. I know the severity of the matter. I've already made the arrangements," said Zhan Yi. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "Patriarch, according to the information we currently possess, I suspect that the ancestor of the Lu family did not take back the treasure after Lu Fei stole it. Instead, it ended up in the hands of Jianchen and Jian Chen. It's extremely likely that the two of them engaged in a great battle with the ancestor of the Lu family, which was why they were heavily injured in the end and were saved by the young lady of the Mo clan. That would explain why the Lu family is searching for the two of them secretly."
