Immediately, the surroundings fell silent. The four Primordial realm experts who had hurried over from the Tianyuan family all stared at Jianchen. They stared at Jianchen in surprise, surprise, and disbelief as they studied him seriously.
They naturally knew that the patriarch of the Tianyuan family was called Jianchen, but in reality, they had never seen the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan ever since they joined the Tianyuan family.
Yet, someone had suddenly appeared and claimed that he was the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, which stunned the four of them.
A while later, the old man who wanted to grab Jianchen pulled back his hand. He studied Jianchen carefully and murmured, "Although I've never seen the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan in person, I've seen his portrait. There really is some resemblance."
"Are you really the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen? Are you sure you're not joking with us? You need to understand that the consequences of impersonating the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan are extremely severe, "said the woman from the group. Among the four of them, the woman spoke. She wore a long dress, and her beauty was moving. Even though she had a straight face at this moment, it was still difficult for her to conceal her seductive charm that teased others.
"Young master Ming, you'll know whether he is or not," said protector Xue. He had already extended the senses of his soul to the Tianyuan family, reporting everything that had happened.
"Brother, is it really you? You've finally returned! " Very soon, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out from the distance. Ming Dong walked over excitedly with joy written all over his face.
He moved extremely quickly, crossing several kilometers or even several dozen kilometers with each step. He appeared before Jianchen in a short while.
The divine general from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, Ming Xie, followed closely behind Ming Dong. He remained by Ming Dong's side at all times.
"Hahahaha, I've been waiting for you in the Tianyuan family for decades. If you hadn't come back, I would have usurped the throne." Ming Dong laughed loudly and gave Jianchen a warm hug.
They had known each other for an extremely long time. Back on the Tian Yuan Continent, they had just gotten to know each other as cultivators who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. Later on, they had developed the Flame Mercenaries together and roamed the Tian Yuan Continent. Now, they had become experts of the Saints' World.
All along the way, the two of them had experienced ups and downs. They'd been baptized in blood and the flames of war, and they'd walked out from mountains of corpses and suffering. They'd gone through life and death together, and they'd long since established a deep and everlasting friendship that wasn't something that time could erase.
Behind Ming Dong, a group of people hurried over from the direction of the Tianyuan family. They were all familiar faces. It was Qing Yixuan, who was dressed in green and had a cold expression. She had the air of a chivalrous woman. The beautiful Xi Yu, who gave off a rather noble bearing, and the golden-robed Nubis who smiled strangely charged at the very front.
Behind them was the ancestor of the Mo clan, Mo Ling, who had been there the earliest, as well as the senior members of the Tianyuan family. They were all excited.
These people were not the strongest in the Tianyuan family. As a matter of fact, they were not even worth mentioning. However, they were definitely the most senior generation. They had been contributing since the founding of the Tianyuan family. Even if they didn't contribute much, they still worked hard.
"Brother Jianchen, you've finally returned." In the crowd, a young girl in her early twenties, dressed in a spotless white robe, shouted with a face full of surprise.
She was Mo Yan, the young miss of the Mo clan in the past. After several decades, Mo Yan had truly become an elegant and refined lady. She was brimming with youthful vigor, having lost her childishness and gained some maturity.
Xi Yu and Qing Yixuan stood to either side of Mo Yan. Both of them possessed extraordinary appearances. When they stood together, they formed a sight that could not be ignored.
Xi Yu's eyes were filled with undisguised excitement. She smiled faintly as she stared straight at Jianchen. Tears seemed to glisten in her eyes.
Qing Yixuan, on the other hand, was very calm. She still maintained her cold demeanor, like an iceberg.
She looked at Jianchen with some mixed feelings.
"Greetings to the patriarch!"
The senior members of the Tianyuan family all clasped their fists and bowed.
"I never thought that he really would be the patriarch of the Tianyuan family." Protector Xue watched this from one side. He looked at Ming Dong and Jianchen who embraced each other passionately, and he fell silent.
The three other Primordial realm experts who had come to stop Jianchen also confirmed Jianchen's identity. They looked at each other and became rather stern.
"I never thought that the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen, would actually return. However, looking at him, it'll probably be difficult for him to convince everyone. There are many proud old people in the Tianyuan family right now. Apart from young master Ming, senior Ming, and senior Xu, they won't show any respect to anyone else. Jianchen has returned to the Tianyuan family. If he wants to take over the clan, it'll be difficult for him to do so. "" That's right.
Some of the old people are just too arrogant. They act submissively before young master Ming, as if they're completely obedient to him, but they act all high and mighty before us. It's basically impossible for Jianchen to take over the authority of the Tianyuan family. It'll be up to Jianchen now … "
The two old men who were Infinite Primes said secretly. They did not bow towards Jianchen like the others.
Clearly, as Primordial realm experts, they did not take Jianchen too seriously.
This was because everyone understood that the Tianyuan family's current development was all thanks to Jianchen. Many of them did not recognise the nominal patriarch of the clan, Jianchen.
Even though Ming Dong was only a peak Divine King, he had a peak Chaotic realm expert protecting him, and even the two great organisations on the Cloud Plane did not dare to offend him. That was more than enough to demonstrate just how extraordinary and illustrious Ming Dong's identity was.
As a result, all the Primordial realm experts who joined the Tianyuan family accepted Ming Dong wholeheartedly. They accepted him as their leader and were willing to follow his orders.
However, Jianchen was a different story.
After some small talk, everyone returned to the Dong 'an province.
The current Dong 'an province had changed drastically compared to the past. The territory of the provincial city had expanded by a hundred times. It had basically become a huge city.
Moreover, it was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city possessed two walls.
The inner city referred to the original Dong 'an province. It seemed even more prosperous, and the walls were even more majestic. From afar, it seemed like a primordial beast prostrated on the ground, giving off a tremendous pressure. Earth-shaking energy was hidden within.
The outer city referred to the territory that had spread out from the original Dong 'an province. After several decades of development, it had become prosperous as well.
With Jianchen and Ming Dong in the lead, the group flew over the Dong 'an province in a grand fashion, causing a great uproar in the provincial city.
At that moment, countless people in the city raised their heads to look at the large group in the sky. Their eyes were filled with envy and yearning.
"Who are these people? How dare they fly in the Dong 'an province? Isn't flying forbidden in the provincial city? Everyone has to walk … "
"Are you an idiot? They must be from the Tianyuan family if they're bold enough to fly in the Dong 'an province. Hmm? I think I see elder Xi Yu and a few other Primordial realm experts. Why are they all following behind us? Who are the two young people at the very front? "
"Don't tell me one of them is the legendary young master Ming Dong from the Tianyuan family. I really can't think of a second person who can make Primordial realm experts follow behind him aside from young master Ming."
"If the first person is young master Ming, who's the second person?"
.....
The provincial city of the Dong 'an province was filled with discussions.
However, Jianchen and the others ignored all of this. They completely ignored the discussions below. They directly passed through the outer city and entered the inner city, arriving in the Tianyuan family.
"Senior Xu, you're here as well?" Jianchen discovered a familiar person in great surprise as soon as he returned to the Tianyuan family.
She was Xu Ran, who had worked with him to destroy the Gloomwater sect.
Xu Ran was still like an old woman. Her white hair draped over her shoulders, and she was covered in wrinkles. Originally, with her current cultivation, it would have been easy for her to restore her former beauty, but her heart was already old, and there were many things that she saw lightly. She was no longer like other women who cared too much about their appearance.
"I have nowhere else to go in the entire Saints' World, so I can only stay here. I wonder if you'll welcome me," said Xu Ran. Xu Ran spoke with an aged yet forceful voice. She held a stick made of withered wood as she stood there, and her aura was completely restrained, causing her to seem like an extremely ordinary old woman.
However, apart from Jianchen, Ming Xie, and Shangguan Mu 'er, everyone else clasped their fists and bowed politely when they saw Xu Ran. Even protector Xue was no exception.
"Welcome, welcome. It's the honour of our Tianyuan family that senior is willing to stay here." Jianchen was overjoyed. Xu Ran was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. With her around, the Tianyuan family would become even more stable.
