Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 107: Chapter 98: Heavenly Spirit Pill! Got It (4200 Grand Chapter)—2

“Damn!” Liu Yongzhou slammed his fist down, shattering the stone table, his eyes bloodshot and fierce. His father even sacrificed his life for the family. And Liu Yongzhou, he did not know how many significant contributions he had made.

The heir Liu Yonghao! What capabilities did that boy have? He was taken down in a few moves by a little girl of eleven in public. Such a weak character, was he even eligible to tread the path to the Spirit Platform Realm?

Luoxian was right. This clan was filthy and petty beyond comparison.

Luoxian… thank goodness there was Luoxian.

In Liu Yongzhou’s eyes, there emerged a strong hope, which then turned into a tone of resolution as he angrily muttered, “Liu Shengye, all of this is owed to us, father and son, by the Liu Clan. I’m just taking back what is supposed to be mine.”

Late at night.

The night blanket covers the land.

In a world untouched by light pollution, the starry sky was dazzling, and the moonlight enchanting.

When all was silent, only a galloping horse’s sound echoed through the country road, the urgent hooves seemingly announcing the rider’s anxious mood.

Faster!

Even faster.

The rider, Liu Yongzhou, was so eager to see her. His heart was blazing with heat. His outlook for the future was filled with passionate hope.

After marrying into her family, he would certainly dedicate himself to cultivation, aiming to reach the Spirit Platform Realm as quickly as possible, so as not to embarrass Luoxian.

Pushing his horse to its limit, he arrived at Summer Garden.

Liu Yongzhou dismounted and, without announcing his arrival, vaulted over the wall, heading directly towards Lotus Pavilion.

“Luoxian, I’m here…” Liu Yongzhou’s voice abruptly stopped, his pupils contracted and his expression drastically changed. The scene that greeted his eyes was…

Inside the pavilion of Lotus Pavilion.

Two men in splendid dresses were leisurely admiring the moonlight and sipping tea. And his goddess, Zhong Luoxian, was dutifully attending to them on the side, pouring tea like a maid.

What was even more horrifying were the large smears of blood on the ground of the pavilion, and a delicate brocade box sitting on the stone table where they were drinking tea.

“Wang Shouzhe, Dantai and Jade.” Liu Yongzhou, with a pale face, roared in anger, “What are you doing here? Let go of Miss Luoxian now!”

Wang Shouzhe put down his teacup, gently tapping the brocade box, “Yongzhou, you’re a bit late. Look, the Lotus Pond is wilting. Also, your brother Zhao Dingtian has already left before you.”

“You…”

Liu Yongzhou felt chills all over his body, a mix of shock and anger, “Wang Shouzhe, what do you want?”

“What do I want? I should ask you, what have you done?” Wang Shouzhe laughed and pulled out a stack of papers from his bosom, which seemed to be filled with words. He casually drew out one, “In the autumn of the 3140th year of Great Qian Changlong, a peddler offended the interests of the Liu Clan because he was selling at too high a price. Liu Shengye dispatched you, father and son, to brutally kill him two miles before Pudukou, robbing him of his goods, which totalled about three hundred Qian Gold.”

Liu Yongzhou trembled instantly, sternly saying: “Wang Shouzhe, stop making false accusations. Luoxian, Luoxian, don’t believe him.”

Wang Shouzhe didn’t pay attention to him but continued to draw another one: “In the summer of the 3142nd year of Changlong, your fishing party discovered a lone merchant ship. You used your excellent Water Escape Technique to first puncture the bottom of the ship, pretend to save them from the shipwreck, and when you discovered that the valuable goods aboard were silk, you cruelly killed all thirteen members of the crew and stole the wealth. The most outrageous thing was that you took two young female passengers, whose whereabouts are still unknown.”

Liu Yongzhou staggered, this matter was carried out so surreptitiously that only a few confidants knew about it, how could Wang Shouzhe find out?

However, Wang Shouzhe continued to draw and read more of Liu Yongzhou s misdeeds over the years, his expression getting colder and colder. In the end, he did not even bother to read anymore but simply slapped the evidence on the table, coldly saying: “Liu Yongzhou, I’ll give you a chance to explain.”

“Luoxian, don’t believe him. He is slandering me.” Liu Yongzhou roared hysterically, “Their Wang family and ours are enemies, they want to drive a wedge between us. Luoxian, Luoxian, say something.

“It’s a pity.” Wang Shouzhe slowly rose from his seat, took a step towards Liu Yongzhou, with his calm looking eyes, carrying a strong killing intent, “Most of these pieces of evidence were investigated and confirmed with the help of Luoxian.”

“What?” Liu Yongzhou staggered back a few steps, shocked and incredulous.

“Family Head, this is my duty.” ‘Whispered Zhong Luoxian’, flattering as she said that, “It’s an honor for me to serve the family.”

“Pah! Zhong Luoxian, you deceived me.” Liu Yongzhou’s face turned beet red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Being quite keen, he easily understood at this point that he had been tricked.

Driven by instinct, he began to back away quickly, looking to escape… to get away from the scene.

“Clang!”

As the sound of a sword echoed, Wang Shouzhe transformed into a figure soaring through the air. His posture was agile and fast, much like a hovering eagle.

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

In the face of danger, Liu Yongzhou exploded with potential, continuously blocking several attacks with the dagger tucked at his waist. However, he could not withstand the relentless, and increasingly powerful, attacks from the Mysterious Element Sword.

“Boom!”

Spewing out blood, Liu Yongzhou was flung backwards through the air and plunged towards a pond filled with decayed lotus leaves.

Before he could even hit the water, the white radiance of the sword flickered twice more. In the final moments of his life, Liu Yongzhou could only perceive his own decapitated head taking flight, while his body was grabbed by Wang Shouzhe and thrown onto the shore.

“Thud!”

His head fell into the pond of decaying lotus flowers.

All of this happened too quickly.

Wang Mei efficiently followed up, relieving the Family Head from getting his hands dirty. She searched through the corpse before placing the spoils of war and a brocade box on the stone table.

“Gulp!” Chen Fangjie, witnessing Wang Shouzhe killing someone for the second time, gulped down his saliva in fear at the murderer’s ruthlessness. This future brother-in-law of his was formidable in both cunning and strength. Chen Fangjie felt that even if he gave his all, he might not be a match for Wang Shouzhe. in the future, living as his brother-in-law would involve treading on thin ice, without daring to make a single mistake.

“Head of the family, the search is complete. The Heavenly Spirit Pill, as well as two supportive spirit pills, the Body Protection Pill, and the Spirit Blood Pill, are all here,” said Wang Mei, her excitement bursting. All the effort and hardships, it was all leading to this moment.

“Wang Mei, well done.” Wang Shouzhe also let out a sigh of relief, suppressing his elated spirits.

All their calculation and planning had paid off, with two Heavenly Spirit Pills and all the supporting materials in their grasp. Such a bountiful harvest was enough to accelerate the Wang family’s rise to power.

Chen Fangjie’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, his mouth watering. These were Heavenly Spirit Pills after all. His family, the Chen Clan of Donggang, had to save up for many years just to afford one.

Yet his future brother-in-law had managed to obtain two at once.

“You want them?” Wang Shouzhe pocketed a brocade box before turning towards Chen Fangjie with a sly smile.

“Yes, yes, I do. Even though our Chen Clan is currently short of money, I can write a promissory note as a pledge,” nodded Chen Fangjie eagerly. “As long as the price is within reason.”

“Hehe~ ” Wang Shouzhe then pocketed another brocade box. “I’m afraid you re not part of the deal this time.”

Suspicion filled Chen Fangjie’s heart. No wonder Shouzhe did not want him to be part of the saboteur; he was afraid Chen wouldn’t be able to handle it! Regret welled up in him; he shouldn’t have come. As they say, ‘out of sight, out of mind’.

Chen Fangjie could only express his bitterness. “Shouzhe, your plot seems fine, but in the end, it’s too risky. As your elder by two years, I must advise you that particularly in the final moments, your plan fell short. What if they found out, and an old ancestor-level figure came after you? In my opinion, you should’ve informed me earlier, I could have asked for help from our family’s Old Ancestor. You could’ve given me three-tenths of the spoils!”

“Shouzhe, you’re too young after all. Remember for next time, ‘it’s not the thousand things you fear, but the one you don’t’. You’re too stingy. This situation, you should have…”

Before Chen’s words came to an end, Wang Shouzhe made a sign of respect, saying solemnly, “Old Ancestor Longyan, the task is completed, we can leave now.”

L…Longyan Old Ancestor?

Chen Fangjie chuckled. “Shouzhe, are you joking with me?”

Suddenly, his body underwent a seismic shock and his face lost all color. A graceful figure, appearing seemingly out of nowhere, plummeted from the darkened sky. Her veil masked her face as her cold eyes met Chen Fangjie’s. “Is your Chen family’s Old Ancestor more skilled than me?” “This humble one, Fangjie, pays respect to Old Ancestor Longyan. The sudden appearance of the Old Ancestor has filled this humble one with overwhelming excitement and joy, much like witnessing the Morning Star the midst of a long, dark night. Fangjie wishes the Old Ancestor safety and well-being, always.” Chen then wisely kneeled down, showing utmost respect and awe in his expression, his gaze fervent. He bowed his head in utmost sincerity.

Could he dare not to be sincere? To offend this lady would mean losing his future wife~
