Chapter 2517 - The Patriarch’s Orders
“Haven’t you discussed this with Ming Dong?” Jian Chen asked. He also understood that all Primordial realm experts were proud and would possess a certain level of status even in peak clans. It was very difficult for them to bow down to cultivators who were weaker than them unless they possessed great backgrounds.
However, although Jian Chen understood this, he would never allow the recruited Primordial realm experts to flaunt themselves before his friends and the original members.
“Brother Jian Chen, can you think about it from our perspective? How can we go find brother Ming Dong over something like this? Wouldn’t that be a little child snitching to an adult? Moreover, brother Ming Dong might not even be older than us. How can we swallow our dignity to do something like that?” Mo Yan said directly. She felt wronged as well.
“Mo Yan, who harassed you?” Jian Chen’s face sank. Mo Yan had always held a special position in his heart. He treated her as his own sister, so he could not allow anyone to harass her.
Mo Yan shook her head. “I haven’t been harassed, but quite a few people have rolled their eyes at me. There’s just a portion of the Primordial realm experts who are completely haughty. As long as they’re present, we have no right to speak, or they’ll immediately put on airs and say something like we have no right to interfere. Hmph, it’s infuriating.”
“That protector Shan in particular is the most arrogant, most haughty, and most vile person who goes overboard the most. Before brother Ming Dong, he’s as obedient as a servant, but once brother Ming Dong leaves, he immediately begins to treat himself as the king of the world, looking down on everyone in the Tian Yuan clan. He doesn’t even respect sister Xi Yu, arguing with her many times. If it weren’t for the fact that this was the Tian Yuan clan, I even think he would lay his hands on her.”
Jian Chen’s face sank when he heard that. He had never thought that something as ridiculous as that would happen in the Tian Yuan clan. A group of outsiders were actually stifling the important figures of the Tian Yuan clan. How could he allow that to happen?
Mo Yan paused before saying through gritted teeth, “And protector Xiang is the person I loathe the most. He even harassed my great-grandfather...”
“Yan’er, don’t say anything more. It’s only a small matter.” Mo Ling interrupted her as if there was something he was worrying about.
In the past, Mo Ling was the ancestor of the Mo clan, as well as the only God of the Mo clan.
Over the years, with the rapid development of the Tian Yuan clan, they no longer lacked cultivation resources. Coupled with the heavenly resources that Ming Dong had brought with him, Mo Ling’s cultivation had increased significantly. He had become an Overgod.
In the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian in the past, Overgods were experts renowned throughout the entire kingdom, but he was nothing significant in the current Tian Yuan clan.
“Keep going,” Jian Chen said.
Mo Yan looked at Mo Ling and said angrily, “Great-grandfather, are you still afraid of protector Xiang? You might be able to endure the abuse from before quietly, but I can’t. You’re a true member of the Tian Yuan clan. Those Primordial realm experts who joined are basically only guests. They’re not true members. Why exactly should we let them take up so many benefits yet still have them harass us?”
Mo Yan became very emotional and said with even greater intensity, “Brother Jian Chen, you have to help great-grandfather. In the past, because great-grandfather objected to protector Xiang’s suggestion of invading the Heavenly Moon Empire, he grabbed him by the neck and threw him out of the hall.”
“How dare he!” Jian Chen was furious. He stood up and slammed the throne. “Send orders to immediately gather all the Primordial realm experts here. No one is allowed to be late.”
That was the first order Jian Chen had passed down as patriarch after returning to the clan. He gave off a bold bearing as if he could not be denied.
After all, he was no longer the same as before. He had groomed a sense of authority. He just never showed it normally.
The patriarch’s order spread through the entire clan in an instant. It was taken to all the Primordial realm experts as quickly as possible by attendants.
Of course, Xu Ran was the exception. She possessed an extremely great status in the Tian Yuan clan, so she was not included.
“What? The patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan? Has Jian Chen returned after having gone missing for so many years?”
“What did you say? The patriarch, Jian Chen, wants to gather all the Primordial realm experts in the discussion hall? Hehe, does Jian Chen think he’s actually relevant and that he can order us around...”
“If the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan wants to gather us, why hasn’t he come personally? We’re mighty Primordial realm experts, but he has only sent an attendant. Hmph, how haughty of him. Does he think he’s young master Ming? If young master Ming wanted to gather us, I would obviously go as soon as possible, but as for Jian Chen... Just tell him I’m cultivating, and I don’t have the time.”
...
At that moment, the voices of many Primordial realm experts rang out in various places in the Tian Yuan clan. Most of them were displeased and did not take the matter too seriously.
Afterwards, a few figures emerged from various places across the clan. They moved steadily, basically strolling towards the discussion hall. They were quite annoyed.
A divine hall stood in another location of the Tian Yuan clan. It was a low quality god artifact, belonging to a late Infinite Prime of the Tian Yuan clan, protector Shan.
At this moment, a burly, middle-aged man with heavy facial features sat in there cultivating. He frowned after receiving the news that Jian Chen was gathering all the Primordial realm experts in the discussion hall.
“I’m at a critical point in cultivation. I can’t stop unless there’s something extremely important. Just tell Jian Chen I have no time,” protector Shan said coldly. He directly referred to Jian Chen by his name, showing him no respect at all.
“Protector Shan, I’ve just received news that the patriarch possesses hell water,” the attendant outside the divine hall said softly.
“What? Hell water? Are you certain?” Protector Shan’s eyes narrowed, and he became overjoyed.
“Absolutely certain.”
“Haha, alright then. Since he has hell water, I’ll go. Hell water is good stuff. I need to hurry over as quickly as possible. I can’t let protector Xue and protector Qi get to it first.” Protector Shan suddenly stood up and shot towards the discussion hall.
