Yan Wufeng sighed and continued, "Fortunately, he should be over 120 years old. He has no hope of becoming a Titled Douluo."
"Otherwise, another Titled Douluo under the Chen Clan's banner would put our Yan Family at a serious disadvantage."
Although the Yan Family was a great clan, it had only a handful of Titled Douluo, just like the Chen Clan in its earlier days-or rather, like the vast majority of top-tier clans.
Yan Qi was also overcome with emotion. "What a surprise. I never imagined Shen Tianjun was still alive."
Yan Wufeng snorted coldly. "Hmph, that is hardly the only surprise! The waters of the Soul Master World run deep."
His voice grew colder still, like ice. "Our Crimson Holy Church is weak. Intelligence is the foundation of our survival."
"If our Yan Family wishes to accomplish anything in these troubled times, we must remain vigilant at all times. We cannot afford even the slightest lapse."
Yan Wufeng raised the paper in his hand and asked, "Your report says Chen Cong's domain was unexpectedly powerful?"
Yan Qi answered respectfully, "Yes, Family Head."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Chen Cong actually suppressed the Silver Wolf Saint King's [Yue Shen's Realm]."
"Together with the Sword Formation he laid down, he held out for a full half hour, until Xue Chuxin arrived and saved him."
Yan Wufeng remained expressionless, but a chill flashed through his eyes. "Domain suppression again. Do you know that Chen Yu's domain also suppressed mine?!"
Alarmed, Yan Qi stammered, "Family Head, I... I truly never expected that."
Yan Wufeng snorted coldly. "If not for that, how could he have fled nearly a hundred li back to Chen Clan Village?"
"Several fatal flaws ruined this attempt to intercept and kill the brothers Chen Yu and Chen Cong."
