Chapter 2647: Dao Jiu

The Tian Yuan clan remained silently. No one felt excited at all over Jian Chen’s suggestion to move the Tian Yuan clan to the Prosper Plane.

The Prosper Plane was one of the seven sacred planes of the Saints’ World. Its cultivation resources were plentiful, and its environment was on a whole different level compared to the Cloud Plane.

However, they had lived on the Cloud Plane for so many years after all. To them, the Cloud Plane was their home. Many of them felt a sense of belonging towards this home. Now that they had to leave this home with no idea whether they could return in the future, all of them were filled with mixed feelings.

Moreover, the Tian Yuan clan was renowned on the Cloud Plane. Especially after this war, the situation on the Cloud Plane would be reduced to a clean slate. The rise of the Tian Yuan clan that had stood up and turned the tides would be unstoppable.

If they left the Cloud Plane, all the glory and status that awaited them would be gone as well. Many of the high-ranking members found this to be a great pity.

The emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng, secretly sighed as well. If it were possible, he did not want to leave the Cloud Plane either. No matter how great the Prosper Plane was, he felt no urge for it at all.

The Tian Yuan clan was an existence that could reign over everyone on the Cloud Plane. What would the Tian Yuan clan be on the Prosper Plane?

“ Jian Chen, we can discuss this in the future. A mysterious senior has come to our Tian Yuan clan. He helped me earlier, so let’s go see this senior, ” at this moment, Shangguan Mu’er’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.

Shangguan Mu’er had communicated with Jian Chen secretly, so no one else knew.

“ A senior? You mean the senior that appeared just then? Didn’t he already leave? ” Jian Chen looked at Shangguan Mu’er in surprise.

Shangguan Mu’er shook her head. She looked at the depths of the Tian Yuan clan. “ No, it’s another senior. This senior is still in the Tian Yuan clan. I can vaguely sense his location. ”

Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He immediately expanded the senses of his soul, enveloping the entire clan in an instant. However, even after scouring the entire place, he found nothing at all.

“ My soul became extraordinary ever since it fused with a strand of true Chaotic Force a long time ago. Even cultivators several levels more powerful than me cannot hide from my search. It looks like the senior that Mu’er speaks of is extraordinary, ” Jian Chen was secretly surprised. Afterwards, he passed some matters onto Xi Yu about the clean up of the Tian Yuan clan and the provincial city before disappearing into the depths of the Tian Yuan clan with Shangguan Mu’er.

Shangguan Mu’er could vaguely sense the position of this senior. She made many turns in the clan with Jian Chen. Eventually, they arrived in a quiet place in the depths of the clan.

They were already within the forbidden grounds of the Tian Yuan clan. Only a few people who possessed great authority could enter this area. Usually, the security was tight, but as the Tian Yuan clan had been in danger recently, the guards here had been reassigned elsewhere.

As a result, not a single person could be seen in this huge region. Only a few birds and beasts raised by the clan could be seen scurrying about.

In the end, Jian Chen arrived at a stone pavilion under Shangguan Mu’er’s lead.

The stone pavilion was situated near a mountain and water. The mountain was a small one they had moved in from the outside world, while the water referred to a small pond that had been dug out here. The surroundings were filled with lush vegetation as mist curled about. It was an extremely beautiful place.

Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He discovered with a single glance that a figure sat within the stone pavilion.

He was a young man in violet robes. He only seemed to be around thirty years of age. He was extremely handsome and gave off a heroic spirit. However, he did not give off any presence at all, not even the slightest trace of life. As he swept past this young man, he found nothing. He could only discover this young man’s existence with his eyes.

The young man currently sat at the stone table. A teapot was placed on the table, giving off a curling strand of steam. It gave off a refreshing fragrance.

It was an extremely precious type of tea. Just a single whiff of it was enough to determine that it was at the God Tier at the very least.

The young man just sat there, taking things easily as he tried the tea.

Jian Chen became stern. He could tell with a single glance that this young man was unfathomable. He was immeasurable.

He never thought such a terrifying expert would actually come to the Tian Yuan clan.

“I am the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen. Greetings to senior.”

“Greetings to senior. Thank you for saving my life earlier.”

Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er arrived before the man in violet. They both clasped their fists and were very polite.

The man did not pay any attention to Jian Chen. As a matter of fact, he did not even glance at Jian Chen. His gaze remained fixed on Shangguan Mu’er the entire time. He studied her carefully and mixed feelings gradually appeared in his eyes.

“I heard the Zither of the Demonic Cry is with you. I would like to see the zither,” said the violet-robed man. His voice was extremely gentle, such that it was comforting. People could not help but develop a good impression of him.

The light in Jian Chen’s eyes flickered as he sank into his thoughts with that.

He could roughly tell why this man had come. He might have been someone from the same age as the Third Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.

Shangguan Mu’er did not hesitate. The simple Zither of the Demonic Cry immediately appeared in her hands.

As soon as the man saw the zither, his eyes froze. He stared at it blankly as he became dazed.

The zithe was like a key to a series of memories he had sealed up a long time ago. Reminiscence filled his eyes, along with faint sorrow.

“Zither of the Demonic Cry, oh Zither of the Demon Cry. I’ve finally seen the Zither of the Demonic Cry again…” the man murmured. At that moment, his heart which had remained silent for who knows how long, that would not move no matter what happened, actually pulsed. He felt something.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Zither of the Demonic Cry drifted over, hovering right before him.

His gaze was filled with mixed emotions as he stared at the zither like he was cherishing his memories. He said sorrowfully, “The Zither of the Demonic Cry is still here, but you are not…”

As if the man had thought of something sorrowful from the past, he seemed to be in extremely sad, low spirits.

Shangguan Mu’er stared at the man in a strange light. She asked rather eagerly, “Senior, do you know master?” She had received the legacy of the Third Ancestor. Even though Shangguan Mu’er had never seen the Third Ancestor, or even possessed any impression of her, she treated the Third Ancestor as her master.

Now that she finally met an acquaintance of her master, Shangguan Mu’er was delighted.

“I know her. I don’t just now her. She’s the only woman who made me fall in love in my life,” the man murmured very softly in undisguisable pain. There was a slight sense of pity as well.

But very soon, the man suppressed all his emotions and returned to the same as before. He looked at Shangguan Mu’er gently and said amiably, “You’re called Shangguan Mu’er, right? Since you’re her only disciple, I definitely have to nurture you well so that you can mature in the shortest amount of time possible. Come with me. From today onwards, you’ll be able to cultivate peacefully in the Dao clan.”

“The Dao clan? Senior, you’re from the Dao clan?” However, as soon as she heard him mention the Dao clan, Shangguan Mu’er’s expression immediately changed.

The man nodded. He treated Shangguan Mu’er extremely well, as if she was the closest person to him. “I’m called Dao Jiu. I am indeed from the Dao clan. Shangguan Mu’er, I already know that you experienced a conflict with a junior of my Dao clan. You don’t have to worry. If you come back with me, I will give you a satisfying explanation.”
