No wonder.
If it weren’t for Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun, those two traitorous old dogs seeking glory, playing dead at the most critical mont while defending Zhouxuan Pass.
Leading to the breach of two sections of the city walls, allowing nurous fierce beasts in.
Ancestors Zhou Xuan and Qiong Yuan of the Wang Family, how would they have perished in such a manner? How would the Wang Family have fallen to such a state in the past fifty years?
Calling them old dogs is already being polite.
"Good, good, good." Liu Zhide laughed in extre anger, "Just a reckless youngster who doesn’t know his place, I, Liu Zhide, will let you enjoy a brief mont of verbal triumph."
Imdiately, he turned and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Li, according to our previous agreent, you’ll personally deal with Wang Longyan. Once the deed is done, the other half of the paynt will be sealed imdiately without delay."
The man in the middle of the team, shrouded in a gray robe, sneered coldly, "I am most reliable when it cos to money and disaster relief. But I doubt you would dare to delay the paynt."
With that, he walked leisurely towards Wang Longyan with his hands behind his back, "Wang Longyan, I heard you’re from the Purple Mansion Academy. Hehe, I’ve always hated you so-called prodigies... one by one, looking down upon the world and seeing Loose Cultivators as nothing. Let teach you a thing or two."
With that, a powerful and domineering aura emanated from him, stronger than any ordinary ancestor.
At the sa ti, his withered old hand flipped, and a short knife about two feet long appeared in his hand. The knife was entirely jet black, with swirling black mist, emitting a terrifying force.
Demon Artifact?
Ancestor Longyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, she laughed coldly, "Since when did Changning Guard harbor a Demon Cultivator?"
"Hehe, power is neither good nor evil, only strong and weak." The old man sneered, "I ca from the humble origins of a Loose Cultivator and naturally take whatever opportunity cos my way. Unlike you Purple Mansion Academy students who have the luxury to choose."
In Longzuo County, the Purple Mansion Academy is often seen as the Black Tortoise Sacred Land, thus its style and cultivation techniques lean towards the righteous path, influencing the overall righteous orientation of Longzuo County.
Other counties have their own Academy Sacred Lands, making the Daqian Kingdom predominantly oriented towards the righteous path.
Demon Cultivators in the Daqian Kingdom aren’t instantly hunted, but they do face vigilance and exclusion. Establishing a Noble Family within the Daqian Kingdom requires special permission from the Commander.
However, outside the Daqian Kingdom, things are not always like this.
In so places, good and evil coexist, while in others, the Demon Dao runs rampant, anything could happen.
Not even Wang Shouzhe could imagine how the civilians in such places survive.
Let’s not dwell on that for now.
Ancestor Longyan knew this was a formidable opponent.
But she was too lazy to waste words with the old Demon Cultivator, instead, she gently lifted her jade palm, the Longyan Sword then flickered with radiance, hovering lightly above her palm.
anwhile.
Delighted expressions appeared on the faces of the Liu and Zhao Clans.
As long as soone can hold back the strongest Wang Longyan, the Wang Family mbers will rely be autumn grasshoppers, unable to jump for long.
It was ti for them to settle scores with the Wang Family after months of humiliation.
Suddenly!
"Ancestor Longyan, let deal with this Demon Cultivator according to our agreent."
A calm and serene voice arose.
No one saw any change, but a figure in an old cotton coat suddenly appeared before everyone.
Although wearing tattered clothes, just standing there, he was as steady as a mountain, inspiring respect and admiration unconsciously.
His gaze stayed on the Demon Cultivator, "No matter who you are, from where you co, you have violated the laws of the Daqian Kingdom, daring to intrude into others’ clan struggles. I, Chen Ruhong, am a marriage ally of the Wang Family, and I cannot sit idly by with such injustice."
Chen Ruhong!
Ancestor Ruhong?
The faces of the Liu Clan instantly turned ugly; they never expected the Wang Family would invite Ancestor Ruhong.
Despite Ancestor Ruhong not being renowned in Changning Guard.
It’s solely because the East Port Chen Family is far from the central area and usually active in the East Sea, causing people to overlook his strength and story.
Before forty, Ancestor Ruhong was unremarkable, rely a candidate for family Spirit Platform route, in charge of leading an overseas rchant ship.
However, at forty, Ancestor Ruhong’s ship wrecked overseas, presud dead by his family, but he miraculously returned a year later, displaying astonishing potential.
Following this.
Ancestors Ruhong attained the Spirit Platform at forty-five, mid-stage Spirit Platform at seventy-five, and now hovering at the peak of mid-stage Spirit Platform.
Many suspect he underwent a Second Layer bloodline awakening.
Such cultivation speed and talent, even at the Purple Mansion Academy, he’d compete for a place among the core disciples.
With Ancestor Ruhong’s power, the East Port Chen Family, ford less than a century ago, has risen rapidly.
Furthermore, the current Chen Family Clan Leader Chen Dewei is on the verge of ascending to the Spirit Platform Realm.
If successful, the East Port Chen Family would form a three Spirit Platform layout, qualifying for the Daqian Governnt’s Eighth-Grade Noble Family recognition!
In such a short ti, very few within Changning Guard could rise to an Eighth-Grade Noble Family. Moreover, Ancestor Ruhong exhibits abundant potential, possibly reaching late stage Spirit Platform in a decade, and afterward, glimpsing hope to beco a Celestial Human.
Such a figure.
Surely frightens and shakes the Liu and Zhao Clans.
Both Liu and Zhao Ancestors, Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun exchanged glances, seeing fear in each other’s eyes.
Although predicted Wang Shouzhe’s slyness would invite one or two ancestors along, aid likely to lure them.
Yet, surprising, the Wang Family could invite the East Port Chen Family’s pillar—Chen Ruhong.
Then, Liu Zhide declared loudly, "Ancestor Ruhong, you have a grand future as a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator, possibly becoming a Celestial Human. Why struggle with another of your level for a half-crippled Wang Family? Don’t forget the plight of Wang Longyan these decades."
"The relations between you and the Chen Family aren’t just Noble Young Clan Leader and Wang Family’s daughter having a marriage contract, right? If you withdraw, we Liu Clan have a daughter too, with a dowry of a manor worth over ten thousand!"
In an attempt to drive a wedge between Chen Ruhong, Liu Zhide even went to lengths, offering a ten thousand-worth manor without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, before Ancestor Ruhong spoke, a young coachman beside Wang Shouzhe jumped in anger, cursing, "Liu Zhide, you are indeed a shaless old thief. That Liu Clan daughter of yours, resembling a country hen, can’t match even one toe of Luoyi. Offering her to this Young Clan Leader is an insult."
Chen Fangjie!
Not only the Liu and Zhao Clans, but even Wang Family mbers didn’t expect Chen Fangjie to disguise as a coachman, participating in the Wang Family’s autumn and winter hunt.
"Good scolding, Brother-in-law.""Brother-in-law, it’s lucky Luoyi sister can marry you.""Brother-in-law, you have such montum."’He
A multitude of Wang Family juniors began praising Chen Fangjie under Wang Shouzhe’s gaze.
This round of praise made Chen Fangjie feel exuberant. The hardships of recent days as a coachman weren’t in vain.
Today’s performance, once Luoyi hears, will undoubtedly earn praise.
"Does Brother Chen an that if the Liu Clan daughter were more beautiful, it could be considered?" Wang Shouzhe chuckled.
Imdiately, Chen Fangjie felt a cold bucket of water poured over him, the feeling of buoyancy vanished, hurriedly supplenting, "Let alone the Liu Clan daughter’s lowly temperant, even if a goddess descended, I, Chen Fangjie, remain wholly devoted to Luoyi."
In panic, even "wholly devoted" erged.
Chen Fangjie couldn’t help but wipe cold sweat from his forehead, needing to be careful when dealing with this future brother-in-law, avoiding traps set by him.
Liu Zhide and others wore dark expressions.
In such a dire situation, could these juniors laugh so brazenly, thinking Chen Ruhong couldn’t counter them?
Zhao Clan Ancestor Zhao Bojun laughed angrily, "Alright, alright, you Chen Family wish to be buried with Wang Family, then we’ll fulfill it. Brother Zhide, let’s join forces to kill Wang Longyan. For the rest, kill!"
"Leave no one alive!"
With the word "kill!"
Zhao Bojun and Liu Zhide flew into the air, joining forces to attack Ancestor Longyan.
