Chapter 2099

With the return of Jiang Chen, many members of the Dun Clan felt a sense of relief. After all, Jiang Chen was the hope of the Dun Clan. Although the clan still possessed an Old Ancestor, that elder had suffered grievous injuries during the battle in the Ancestral Realm after being besieged by powerful human figures. He was, for all intents and purposes, reaching the end of his rope. Because no new powerhouse had yet emerged within the clan, the Old Ancestor relied on his profound cultivation merely to cling to life. While his return brought peace of mind to many, it also sparked suspicion in others. Jiang Chen had reappeared without any warning. Having fallen into the hands of the Heaven-Extinguishing Sect, it stood to reason that he should have had no chance of escape. His sudden return compelled the clan’s leaders to doubt him. The first to voice these doubts was the Great Elder, Dun Yuan, who held absolute authority within the Dun Clan. At times, even the clan leader, Dun Di, dared not contradict him.
