Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 2220

Capítulo 2220: Chapter 251: Wang Shouzhe, the Shou Duke (4)

This time, the Crown Prince’s visit to the Immortal Dynasty should include a thoughtful visit to console the Little Princess Zhao Yu.

With the emergence of such rumors, the Magus Lord, whose reputation had only recently warmed up over decades, saw his fame plunge once more. Many secretly blamed him.

If it weren’t for his scheming and plotting behind the scenes years ago, why would the Demonic Dynasty demand such a huge sacrifice from the young Little Princess Zhao Yu?

Furthermore, it inadvertently affected Qian Qi, whose reputation was soaring, causing him to bear the brunt of many criticisms.

As the rumors gradually spread, the Magus Lord, who was fishing in the Demon Overlooking Abyss, naturally heard various reports and rumors.

Elder Yun, while reporting, couldn’t help but feel indignant reflecting on the criticisms the Magus Lord faced, saying, “It’s appalling. Now, any dirty water and nasty rumors are being pinned on us. Zhao Yu girl staying in the Wang family of the Immortal Dynasty is none of our concern! I’ll mobilize our forces right away to dispel these rumors.”

“It’s nothing,” the Magus Lord remained unperturbed, still deep and enigmatic like an abyss, “It’s just the Old Demon of Red Prison deliberately guiding public opinion to mislead me. Such trickery is merely minor tactics; it cannot affect the grand scheme.”

“But Great Magus, can we really let them continue to slander us?” Elder Yun furrowed her elegant brows, still unwilling to give in, “The wave of rumors has escalated and has already impacted Young Master Qian Qi!”

Previously, Elder Yun looked down on Qian Qi, but as Qian Qi gradually displayed his capability and charisma, she viewed him differently and considered him to be the future of the Chao Clan.

“You just mentioned that Wang Ruobing is also going to visit the Immortal Dynasty? And would accompany Shentu Jingming to visit Zhao Yu girl?” the Magus Lord slightly opened his eyes and asked.

“That’s indeed what we gathered,” Elder Yun replied, “Previously, Shentu Jingming, Wang Ruobing, and Wang Fugui of the Changning Wang Clan, among others, established camaraderie as comrades, and reportedly have mutual support experiences, hence their relations are quite good. Presumably, they also wish to establish more connections during this opportunity.”

“Good, excellent,” a fierce gleam crossed the Magus Lord’s deep eyes, and his tone suddenly became icy cold, “As the saying goes, after the clouds clear, one sees the moon. This is an opportunity I’ve awaited for decades. As long as I can refine and devour Wang Ruobing’s bloodline, I will assuredly advance to the Mid-Stage True Demon. Then, let’s see what the Old Demon of Red Prison can do against me.”

“Respected Lord, the Wang family is cunning; you must be careful as it may be a trap,” Elder Yun quickly reminded.

“Of course,” the Magus Lord said, calm yet confident, “However, I’ve already formulated a complete plan; I won’t miss such a heaven-sent opportunity. Qing Yun, transmit a message on my behalf.”

“Yes, Respected Lord.”

…

As the Magus Lord began his actions, an enormous conspiracy targeting the Wang family slowly unfolded like a vast net, enveloping the Wang family.

The first significant change occurred dramatically on the battlefield outside the Daqian Region.

Over the years, the clearing and development in this area rapidly accelerated, bringing considerable benefits to the Wang family, Da Qian, and various Prominent Families within the Daqian Realm. Naturally, these changes were observed by the extraterritorial defense zones, especially by the neighboring allied zone of West Jin, South Qin, and the Yinsha Sect.

At present.

The main base has been rebuilt once, using the high-grade cement manufactured by the Wang family, rendering its appearance very modernized.

The current commander-in-chief of the East Drought Defense Zone, Wang Liyao, was presiding over a meeting in a conference room.

As it was an extraterritorial setting, she donned specific attire, with light blue armor glinting coldly under the light, inexplicably exuding a more distant yet authoritative aura.

Having stationed in the extraterritorial base for years, although Wang Liyao’s appearance remained unchanged, her temperament grew increasingly mature and steady, her Mysterious Energy concentrated like a deep abyss, imposing a powerful pressure even while sitting still, embodying an image of an upper echelon figure.

Her cultivation base had already advanced to the late Purple Abode Realm, gradually inching toward its peak. She just needed some time to refine her skills; her breakthrough to the Divine Power Territory would be as simple as eating and drinking.

“The two Demonic King Fortresses, Giant Sickle and Devil Wood, in our Daqian Defense Zone, along with the three Demonic King Fortresses in the West Jin and South Qin Defense Zones, have dispatched troops to jointly launch an offensive against us,” Wang Liyao’s voice was calm and reserved, devoid of any trace of fear, as if she had anticipated it all along, “And the Jin and Qin Defense Zones are shrinking back, adopting a wait-and-see approach amidst the conflict.”

“It has finally begun,” Emperor Longchang, stationed at the main base, was also composed and dignified, “We have been preparing for so many years, just for today, Have we not? Yao Yao, this time let me lead the troops to war, to crush the five Demonic King Fortresses.”

Beside him, the alluring Jade Talisman Immortal gazed at Emperor Longchang with admiration, saying, “Chang brother remains as commanding as ever, charismatic as before, I wish to join with you in battle.”

“No need to use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken, Jade sister you shall remain at the base,” Emperor Longchang said with overflowing dominance, “My Semi-Immortal Sword [Qiankun Treasure Sword] has been long thirsty. This time, I will let them experience my might.”

“Oh, you’re so troublesome~” the Jade Talisman Immortal exclaimed bashfully and stomped her foot at him playfully.

“Jade sister, I was mistaken.”

“Chang brother, I forgive you.”

A sequence of dialogues made other attendees’ skin crawl, wishing they could drag their chairs further away from them.

You’re having a twilight romance, fine, just don’t flaunt it in the conference hall~ What did they ever do wrong to endure such ancient, dog-food-like show?

Rumor has it, back when Emperor Longchang was injured, he was forcibly recalled by Wang Shouzhe for healing, Jade Talisman Immortal was concerned deciding to tend to him. Shortly after, the two ignited their flames becoming intimately involved.

This intimacy wasn’t a big deal, but whenever the two gathered, they couldn’t help but turn to outdated sweet and pampering script dialogues, causing listeners to nearly vomit.

And the culprit behind it all was Wang Ningxi.

What evil did he do after all?

Wang Liyao too felt her eyelids twitch hearing it, quickly maintaining her composure to interrupt, “Your Majesty, this time my father’s intention is to fight slowly, to convey an impression of difficulty. Therefore, you still must restrain yourself.”

“Hmph, that boy Wang Shouzhe, always scheming full of sinister tricks and dirty plots, I just won’t obey him. What can he do to defy my will?” Emperor Longchang snorted coldly, looking haughty.

“My father said if Your Majesty doesn’t follow orders, the borrowed Semi-Immortal Artifact [Qiankun Sword] from you will be confiscated.”

Emperor Longchang’s face subtly changed, but he soon composed himself with a calm facade and said, “Fine, that boy Shouzhe, though full of dirty plots, does have some ability. This time, I shall heed his advice.”

“…”

Everyone present fell silent.
