Chapter 1792: Chapter 1792: A Top-rank True God

Malloy was seated within the main hall of the Heavenly Han House. There were equally two people sitting by his side, both of whom were at the peak of the cultivation level of mid-rank True Gods.

They weren't True Gods of the Heavenly Han House who taught the Godly Ways, but they were leaders of the Han Clan sub-branches.

Although the sub-branches of the Han Clan were not considered as powerful as the rich clans on the Floating Islands, they were still first-tier clans. The strength and number of the True Gods from these clans far exceeded that of ordinary second-tier or third-tier clan.

Currently, there were a total of twenty-seven sub-branches of Han Clan, each respectively led by one of the twenty-seven sub-branch leaders. These two specific individuals were the leader of the ninth sub-branch, Luke Han, and the leader of the twelfth sub-branch, Declan Han. Zane, who himself had just entered the Heavenly Han House, was Luke Han's son.

“The news we received earlier from Mirror City has just been confirmed. Thad Luo's origin is very suspicious,” Luke Han said with a frown.

Ever since the moment Zen had risen to prominence in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant, many forces had tried to track his background down. However, at the time, the information that Zen had provided was too little, and despite their many inquiries, they still hadn't found any clues concerning Zen's background. For this reason, on their list, they could only describe him as 'the mysterious youth'.

Not long ago though, during the Heavenly Han House examination in fact, Zen had mentioned that he came from the Misty Mountain Village of the Vast Sky Region.

That was when the Han Clan had sent people out to investigate Zen's identity.

And the Han Clan's efficiency was very high. Within no more than a few days, they had found the divine citizens of the Misty Mountain Village.

At first, the answers given by the divine citizens in the Misty Mountain Village were exactly the same as what Zen had said. Zen indeed seemed to come from the Misty Mountain Village. After the further investigation though, they quickly began to discover a few truths which included a conflict between the Misty Mountain Village and the Sun Moon Village, as well as Master Evil's return.

They also knew that Zen wasn't a native of the Misty Mountain Village. He had stayed in the Misty Mountain Village for less than half a year, and the divine citizens of the Misty Mountain Village were actually completely unaware of Zen's origin.

As a result, up to that point, Zen's identity had remained a mystery. After all, he was deliberately concealing it and thus discovering it wasn't going to be an easy task!

“I think so too!” Declan Han said as he nodded his head in agreement. “This guy deliberately hides his identity and then sneaks his way into the Han Clan... He probably has some kind of conspiracy.”

The forces within the divine land all developed according to the model of a specific clan, and they each attached high importance to the backgrounds of the people they cultivated. Although the Han Clan would also train outsiders in order to own more talents, they thought it was important to figure out the outsiders' background first. They wouldn't just train some strange martial artist whose origins and intentions were completely unknown to them.

There were sixty-seven warriors who had entered the Heavenly Han House. Aside from Zen, the Han Clan was fully and clearly aware of the other warriors' backgrounds. Even more so, their lineage could be traced back several generations.

Zen possessed such a remarkable talent, and yet, his origins remained mysterious. To anyone dealing with this situation, it indeed seemed weird.

Malloy smiled, but it was barely noticeable. “How can there be so many schemes? Maybe Thad Luo is a talent from a Floating Island?”

Malloy, on his behalf, equally didn't believe that Zen was an ordinary divine citizen simply born in a remote village. It was impossible for such a character to exist in a small and remote village, anyway. The divine land had developed over so many years, and all its resources had been monopolized by the wealthy clans. And the talents had been continually inherited through blood lineage. It was extremely rare that such an outstanding warrior would be born in a remote, poor village.

“Do you really think there's still a rich clan on the Floating Island willing to allow one of their talents to cultivate outside, alone? Even if that was the case, would our Han Clan be willing to accept him?” Declan Han asked again, with more emphasis this time.

Malloy glanced at Declan Han and smiled, more obviously this time. “Since the two of you are having such thoughts, how do you think we should deal with Thad, then? Expel him from the Heavenly Han House, hmm? As long as the two of you and Bentley agree, I won't hesitate, not even for a second!”

Upon hearing Malloy's words, Declan Han and Luke Han fell silent, adding nothing more to the conversation.

“To put it bluntly, you both just want me to take all the responsibility. You want to recommend Thad to the Floating Island, but you're equally worried about his unknown origin. If something happens in the future, you don't want to be implicated.” Malloy's eyes glittered. “If that's the case, then speak up, and I will take the responsibility!”

Malloy's words had clearly revealed Luke Han's and Declan Han's true feelings. Their facial features were completely distorted now.

If the Han Clan sub-branches didn't provide a suitable candidate, then the Han Clan would really take some actions, and if that were to be the case, the twenty-seven Han Clan sub-branches would be in deep trouble. ＲÃ𐌽𝙤₿Ё𝒮

Through the Heavenly Han House's test, they were capable of figuring out that Zen had a remarkable talent. This fellow clearly surpassed an ordinary talent, and by far. Even among the rich clans on the Floating Islands, never had there been such an extraordinary proving godly warrior in the past!

In their eyes, this proving godly warrior was like a tender shoot that had just emerged from the ground. Zen was a little too strong for his own good, though. If he were to condense a Godly Tile in his inner world in the future, wouldn't he naturally become a disciple of the Holy Emperor?

“Not necessarily, you don't have to. In the past, the sub-branches of the Han Clan have always been one and the same! How could we let you bear all the responsibility alone?” Luke Han said.

“Yeah... Why don't we ask Thad about it later? Maybe it's not as we're imagining it to be,” Declan Han was next to speak.

Both Luke Han and Declan Han offered their words with a slight awkwardness.

It was at that moment that someone was heard uttering just outside the main hall, “Thad Luo has arrived!”

Malloy nodded in response and said, “Let him in.”

It was only a few short moments later that Zen slowly walked inside.

Malloy's lips curled into a smile and he said politely, “Thad, please sit here.”

Zen nodded his head and sat down in the chair, a little off to the side. At the same time, he asked, “May I know why you've summoned me here?”

In total honesty, Zen had a rough idea of that reason. Seeing as he had already spoken of where he came from to the Han Clan, they had definitely summoned him in order to investigate his background.

Prior to leaving the Misty Mountain Village, Zen had told the villagers to keep his identity a secret from all the others. However, most of the divine citizens of the Misty Mountain Village had never been to a divine city. It was thus impossible for them to hide it from the members of the Heavenly Han House.

Today, it was highly likely that Malloy had personally invited him here just to investigate him in depth.

Despite that, Zen was feeling confident and had already made up his mind. He wasn't the slightest bit flustered and instead asked Malloy first, before he had even had the chance to speak.

Malloy was caught off guard as Zen questioned him like that and a trace of unnatural emotion immediately appeared on his face. The expression disappeared in a flash before he chuckled. “To be honest, all of the disciples that we recruit are treated like family. But according to the rules that have been passed down from our ancestors for generations and generations, we need to investigate into all disciples' backgrounds.”

Of course, Zen understood that it was just as he had guessed. The members of the Heavenly Han House had really travelled to the Misty Mountain Village and had already discovered that something was wrong...

“From what we've learned from the Misty Mountain Village, it seems that something doesn't match up just right what you've told us,” Malloy continued.

Declan Han and Luke Han also looked straight at Zen, as if they wanted to decipher something from his expression, or pick up on some kind of clue.

“You're right. I am indeed not from the Misty Mountain Village.” No one had expected Zen to admit it so openly, and with a faint smile on his face. His honest words made the three True Gods feel an odd mix of discomfort and surprise.

Malloy continued calmly and asked, “Then where exactly are you from?”

It didn't really matter where Zen genuinely came from. What was important was that they needed a credible background. They needed to know he would not do harm to the Han Clan.

Zen just shook his head. “I can't say,” he replied.

Of course, there was no way he'd admit that he was Mike's son from the Evolutionary Universe just to enter the Heavenly Han House. On the other hand though, he also couldn't make up a false identity for himself. After all, with the Han Clan members' abilities, they would surely check and figure out his lies with ease. Therefore, he had no other choice but to answer honestly.

Hearing this, Declan Han coldly and promptly said, “We don't accept warriors of unknown origins.”

Luke Han agreed with a single nod of his head. “Indeed. I hope you'd cherish this opportunity.”

There was a hint of threat in their words, which was to warn Zen that if he didn't tell them where he came from, he would probably be expelled from the Heavenly Han House immediately.

“If that's really the case, then that's quite a pity. I'm afraid I can only choose to leave the Heavenly Han House,” Zen said with a look of regret on his face. Joining the Heavenly Han House was only a shortcut to get to the Floating Island. If he couldn't take the shortcut successfully, he would find himself another way.

If he were to reveal his identity though, now that would be quite a serious matter. It was impossible for him to reveal his identity just to enter the Heavenly Han House.

As the words left his mouth, Luke Han and Declan Han kept silent. They had wanted to threaten Zen with the qualification to join the Heavenly Han House, but Zen didn't seem to care in the least.

Malloy glanced at Luke Han and Declan Han indifferently, and shrugged his shoulders. He knew that Zen wasn't an idiot, and since he possessed such great talent, every proving godly house would be eager to admit him. Did he even care about the qualification to join the Heavenly Han House? Malloy continued wondering to himself.

Just as Malloy was thinking about how to continue his attempt in persuading Zen, a figure appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Han House, slowly descending into its main hall.

“This warrior can actually fly within the divine land...”

Zen's eyes suddenly flashed with astonishment, realizing that the warrior was a top-rank True God. But who was he? And why did he come here?
