A Flashy Old Man, a Bold Idea
Inside the Light Divine Hall.
Through Heavenly Venerable Zhu's arrangement, Chen Ning successfully obtained the opportunity to meet the Light God Clan Leader.
Not long after.
A figure, bathed in holy light, slowly walked over.
They arrived in front of Chen Ning.
This is an old man, dressed in a luxurious Daoist robe, on which auspicious clouds are painted and inlaid with hundreds of dazzling and precious gemstones.
It shone brightly.
Extremely luxurious.
Chen Ning had only met him once, but he immediately concluded that the Light God Clan Leader was a very flamboyant old man.
After hearing what the old man said next...
Chen Ning became even more certain.
"Child, come and see, what do you think of this mystic agate? And this meteorite, it's a rare find."
"Child, do you know where this fabric comes from? It was hand-sewn by the Weaving Maiden God Clan; it's priceless."
"Kid, don't just stand there, touch it."
The Light God Clan Leader generously displayed his magnificent attire.
"No, Chieftain, your treasures are priceless. Just looking at them is enough to make my life complete. They can only be admired from afar, not touched."
Chen Ning offered a timely compliment.
The old man opposite him paused, pondering the words repeatedly. "Only to be admired from afar, not to be trifled with... Well said! Brilliant! Child, you can utter such insightful words; you are extraordinary! Truly extraordinary!"
"You flatter me, senior."
Chen Ning cupped his hands in greeting.
The next moment.
The Light Clan Leader suddenly changed his expression and said sternly, "How dare you be so frivolous? What do you take my Light God Clan for?"
Chen Ning was a little confused.
I just think their change of expression is too fast.
He's somewhat like the Grand One Clan Leader and Emperor Yu. Indeed, those in power are the most adept at this.
"You killed nine members of the War God Clan in the street, and now the whole city is looking for you. You still dare to come see this clan leader? You probably don't know the meaning of death!"
"Please calm down, senior. Why not listen to my suggestion?"
"Way?"
The Light Clan Leader sneered, "You killed someone in my City of Light, straining relations between the War God Clan and my clan. No matter what methods you use, nothing is better than kidnapping you and taking you to the War God Clan. That's the best way to settle this matter!"
"If you really wanted to kidnap me to the War God Clan, you probably would have done it already, and you wouldn't be seeing me today."
Chen Ning spoke calmly.
"Since you're so clever, how did you still get yourself into this predicament?"
The Light Clan Leader asked calmly.
Chen Ning laughed and said, "The Saint Venerable Qitian has laid out such an ingenious plan. Whether I attack those War God Clan or not, the outcome is predetermined and naturally difficult to break."
"To falsely accuse one of our clan elders in front of our clan leader—you've got some nerve!"
"I have an even bolder idea, would you like to hear it?"
Tell me about it.
The Light Clan Leader spoke in a flat tone.
Chen Ning said, "What you're worried about is the relationship between the War God Clan and the Light God Clan, so you want to use this junior to quell the matter."
That makes sense.
"However, when the junior has sufficient value to be needed by the Light God Clan, the senior will have every reason to protect the junior."
"Oh?"
The Light Clan Leader was taken aback, then laughed, "You mean with your worth, you'd make me offend the War God Clan?"
"That's right."
"You are indeed strong enough to kill only two junior members of the Darkness God Clan, and perhaps one member of the Death God Clan, but that's not enough... Therefore, your value is not enough for our clan to offend the War God Clan for you."
"You're right, but I wonder if adding my ancestor would be enough?"
Chen Ning's gaze held a deeper meaning.
Upon hearing this...
The Light Clan Leader fell silent.
After a long while.
His anger subsided, and he slowly spoke, "The patriarch you speak of is the most terrifying person I have ever seen in my long life, and you, as his successor, are no less remarkable."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the mission prompts only state that the First-Generation Sect Master visited the Light God Clan, the specifics of the visit, and whether the Light God Clan was friend or foe, remain unknown.
Chen Ning was gambling entirely.
He's gambling with his illustrious and unparalleled ancestor.
Really.
I guessed right.
Judging from the words of the Light Clan Leader, the First-Generation Sect Master and the Light God Clan were definitely not enemies.
After all.
According to Nalan Yao, the First Generation has already become a god, but after becoming a god, he disappeared without a trace, and no one knows where he went.
Even so.
Chen Ning also believed that, given the First-Generation Sect Master, he wouldn't suffer any losses anywhere.
And.
They always manage to amaze the world.
This was true both in the Nine Provinces Realm and on the Vast Land.
"May I ask, senior, what was the purpose of our ancestor's visit here back then? My purpose in coming to this esteemed land is only to help the Divine Daughter of Light out of her predicament; the most important reason is to search for the whereabouts of my ancestor."
Chen Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute and spoke, his expression serious.
"Your ancestor hadn't yet become a god back then; otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been filled with trepidation as well. As for why he's here, don't worry..."
The Light Clan Leader suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ning, grabbed Chen Ning by the collar, and roared, "What exactly is going on between you and that girl in Hongyi? What do you mean by 'helping out'? Did you toy with her feelings?!"
Chen Ning was immediately speechless.
I never expected that this important person in front of me would have such a peculiar focus.
