Chapter 2998: Terror Upon Closer Thought

Jian Chen did not say anything more either. Instead, he simply stood behind ancestor Lan quietly and waited for her. He also understood that this was extremely important to the Heavenly Crane clan. If it were mishandled, it could lead to severe trouble for the clan, or even a disaster.

After all, they would be opposing the Snow sect. With how powerful the Snow sect was, the Heavenly Crane clan definitely was not their opponent.

If she thought about it a little deeper, then no one knew whether the Snow sect had done this on their own accord or if it was related to the Flame Reverend.

If the Snow sect leaned towards the Flame Reverend, then everything would be terrifying.

For a moment, the alchemy room sank into an eerie silence. Neither Jian Chen nor ancestor Lan said anything. Only the unique roaring sound produced by the blue, ice flames echoed through the room.

A very, very long time passed before ancestor Lan’s voice rang out again, “Do you understand exactly what it means for the Heavenly Crane clan if we were to become involved?”

Ancestor Lan clearly had no interest in letting Jian Chen answer. She continued, “To us, this is not beneficial at all, only detrimental. No matter what the end result is, our Heavenly Crane clan will end up in a lot of trouble.”

“First of all is the Snow sect. With our strength, we stand absolutely no chance if we clash with the Snow sect. If we are defeated, the Heavenly Crane clan will definitely suffer tremendous losses, or even follow in the footsteps of the Hefeng clan.”

“Even if we emerge victoriously in the end and successfully save Shui Yunlan, thus protecting the secret of the Snow Goddess’s whereabouts, our Heavenly Crane clan still won’t be able to avoid the Snow Goddess’s punishment in the end.”

Reaching there, ancestor Lan let out a deep sigh. She was overcome with a multitude of emotions. “You may be the Snow Goddess’s younger brother, and you might have spent a very long time with the Snow Goddess’s reincarnation, but you need to understand that before her memories awaken, the Snow Goddess is not truly the Snow Goddess. She’s just someone else.”

Ancestor Lan turned around and stared at Jian Chen with mixed feelings. She said slowly, “As a result, you have absolutely no idea just what kind of a person the true Snow Goddess is. However, I can tell you very clearly that the true Snow Goddess is a completely different person from the elder sister in your heart.”

“If our Heavenly Crane clan were to interfere with the matters of the Snow Goddess without permission, it’ll be viewed as a great provocation of their dignity, whether it’s the Snow Goddess or the Ice Goddess. We will definitely face the punishment of the Ice and Snow Goddesses.”

“Let alone our Heavenly Crane clan, even you who are technically the younger brother of the Snow Goddess’s reincarnation probably won’t be spared.”

Ancestor Lan’s words left a very bad taste in Jian Chen’s mouth. He took in a deep breath, and his gaze became extremely determined. “No matter what kind of person my sister becomes, no matter how she views me in the future, none of it can stop me, as she’s still my elder sister in my heart. She is one of the people I’m closest to. As a result, even if I have to go through fire and water, even if I must face eternal damnation, I will save her.”

“Senior ancestor Lan, I also understand that this is not completely a positive matter to the Heavenly Crane clan. Since you’re reluctant to take part, then I won’t insist any further. Farewell!” Jian Chen sure was straightforward, turning around and making his way out.

However, his heart weighed extremely heavily. The Heavenly Crane clan refused to take part in this because they were racked with misgivings, so who else could assist him in saving his sister?

Thoughts flew through his head rapidly. He thought of Tie Ta in the God clan, he thought of the Radiant Saint Hall, and he even thought of the mysterious man who called himself Dao Jiu who had mysteriously appeared in the Tian Yuan clan.

However, without any exception, he dismissed all of these people.

The God clan was in decline. They had lost their former title of being known as the greatest clan in the Saints’ World a long time ago. His chances of motivating them into opposing a tremendous organisation like the Snow sect was virtually non-existent.

As for the Radiant Saint Hall, it was completely propped up by the protector swords now. Without the protector swords, the Radiant Saint Hall stood absolutely no chance at all before the Snow sect. Finding the Radiant Saint Hall under these circumstances would only be harming them.

Moreover, among the protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall, he was only confident enough to persuade Han Xin, Donglin Yanxue, and Bai Yu.

Finally, regarding Dao Jiu from the Dao clan, he was indeed a force of deterrence to the Snow sect through the Dao clan’s reputation as an archaean clan.

However, due to the Primeval Divine Hall, he still had no idea whether he would oppose the Dao clan in the future, so finding the Dao clan was inappropriate too.

On top of that, he still did not know what Dao Jiu’s identity in the Dao clan was. He was absolutely clueless whether the influence of the tablet that Dao Jiu had given him back then was as great as he imagined it to be.

“If you want to save Shui Yunlan from the Snow sect, then you need to be prepared for a full-blown war with the Snow sect. Just our Heavenly Crane clan is nowhere near enough.”

Right when Jian Chen was about to leave the alchemy room, ancestor Lan’s voice rang out slowly.

Jian Chen immediately paused. Joy filled his eyes. “Ancestor Lan, you’ve agreed to help me out?”

Ancestor Lan let out a gentle sigh. “This brings absolutely no benefit to our Heavenly Crane clan, but there are just some things you have to do.”

“The Ice Pole Plane is far too chaotic right now. It requires the Snow Goddess to watch over it.”

“Then what if we rally the other peak organisations on the Ice Pole Plane? After all, there are still many people who revere the Snow Goddess on the Ice Pole Plane,” said Jian Chen.

“That would be inappropriate.” Ancestor Lan directly dismissed Jian Chen’s suggestion. She said, “All you see is the surface of these people who revere the Snow Goddess and are willing to fight for the Snow Goddess. Let alone you, even I’m not certain about what they actually think.”

“There are indeed a portion of people who are willing to fight for the Ice Goddess and the Snow Goddess, but there are also others who don’t wish for the Snow Goddess to return, such as the Flame Reverend.”

“The Flame Reverend eyes the Ice Goddess’s ways. This has ceased to be a secret among stronger experts a long time ago. Even the people on our Ice Pole Plane have considered the Snow Goddess reincarnating, so why wouldn’t the Flame Reverend include that in his calculations?”

“Why wouldn’t he know that the reincarnated Snow Goddess would be the greatest variable in his attempt for the Ice Goddess’s ways?”

“The Flame Reverend has been planning in secret on the Ice Goddess Plane for many years. Do you really believe he hasn’t left behind some sort of back-up plan to deal with the Snow Goddess?”

“Among the people who treat the Ice Goddess Hall with absolute loyalty, who knows whether the Flame Reverend has planted anyone among them?”

Hearing that, Jian Chen immediately shivered inside. Ancestor Lan’s guesses made perfect sense. The Flame Reverend was going after such a great thing. He was bold enough to even eye a Grand Exalt, so he must have come up with a surefire plan and made numerous arrangements. Were the organisations under his control really just the Hefeng clan and the Moon Goddess Hall?
