Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 374: Chapter 80 Evolution! Bloodthirsty Vines_1

…

How could the Huangfu Clan target the Ping’an Wang Family without paying attention to the information from the Wang Family of Longzuo County?

If they didn’t have certain information knowing that Wang Zhubo had always been in Longzuo County and was quite active, they wouldn’t have excluded Wang Zhubo from their plan when they acted.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhubo, who had always been active in Longzuo County Town, suddenly appeared here!

If it weren’t for the fact that the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm cannot be faked, Old Ancestor Hua Ye almost thought he was seeing things.

“Sorry, the Zhubo Old Ancestor active in Longzuo County Town was an imposter I arranged. For the better part of the year, Zhubo Old Ancestor has been guest here with me,” Wang Shouzhe said out loud in the courtyard, “I didn’t mean to disappoint Old Ancestor Hua Ye, sorry, sorry~ My goal was to lure you into a trap.”

“You!!”

Old Ancestor Hua Ye was so infuriated that blood surged to his head and he almost spat out blood.

Without waiting for Old Ancestor Hua Ye to speak,

Wang Shouzhe turned to the two elders of the Huangfu Clan, his smile faded, and his tone suddenly became cold: “Elders Jinning and Jinyu, since you have already brought Old Ancestor Hua Ye here, your roles end here.”

Elders Huangfu Jinning and Huangfu Jinyu both felt an immediate chill over their bodies.

They suddenly understood.

It turns out that just now Wang Shouzhe had only trapped them without immediately moving against them, not just because of them two, but for the purpose of attracting Old Ancestor Hua Ye.

It’s pathetic that they sought help from Old Ancestor Hua Ye when they were facing a desperate situation, but they didn’t expect that everything was part of the opponent’s calculation.

Such a bold move, such a vicious plan!

However, understanding it now is useless.

As Wang Shouzhe’s voice fell,

An old man emerged from the small house in the courtyard.

He had a slender figure and although his face was aged, it still looked rosy and his eyes were still sharp, which sharply contrasted with the Huangfu Clan’s two elders who appeared to be on their last leg.

It was apparent that his blood and life force were still abundant, and a powerful vitality radiated from his body.

This old man was none other than the Old Ancestor Beichen, the number one Old Ancestor of the Xu Family of Changning.

“Xu Beichen.” Despair emerged in the eyes of the two elders of the Huangfu Clan as they exclaimed, “Aren’t you isolating yourself to make a breakthrough into the Heavenly Human Realm?”

Old Ancestor Beichen laughed and said, “While making a breakthrough into the Heavenly Human Realm is important, dealing with future troubles can’t be underestimated either. So what if my promotion is delayed because of this?”

After saying that, his smile faded, and a firm determination to kill flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, he raised his hand, and a Town Dragon Monument shone impressively in his palm.

“Wang Shouzhe, Xu Beichen, you dare!” Old Ancestor Hua Ye was so angry that he roared out in outrage as soon as he saw the situation.

The sound was booming and caused the valley to shudder faintly.

Elders Jinning and Jinyu were both of his bloodline descendants, especially Huangfu Jinning, who was his direct heir and had held the position of Family Head for decades.

Even a tiger would not eat its cub; how could he stand by and watch them die?

Without delay, Old Ancestor Hua Ye flew down, trying to prevent all of this.

But would Old Ancestor Zhubo let him have his way?

Before Old Ancestor Hua Ye could make a move, he blocked Old Ancestor Hua Ye and said in a deep voice, “Huangfu Hua Ye, don’t forget who your opponent is.”

“Wang Zhubo, get out of my way!!”

Old Ancestor Hua Ye, enraged, made his strike. A fist enveloped in thick flames blazed towards Old Ancestor Zhubo.

The surrounding air could not bear it and made continuous explosive noises. The power of this punch was even stronger than before.

“Come on!”

Old Ancestor Zhubo’s eyes shone, but he was unexpectedly delighted instead of being shocked.

Immediately, he moved the vast Mysterious Energy around him; his body was enveloped in a golden aura, and like a Golden Arhat, he took on Old Ancestor Hua Ye’s punch head on.

His mission for today was very clear, to drag Old Ancestor Hua Ye down.

“Boom, boom, boom~~!”

Huge amounts of energy collided and clashed and the two old ancestors in the Heavenly Human Realm began a fierce battle in mid-air.

With powerful wind gusts and the harmonious resonance of flames and Metallic Elemental-Aura, the valley echoed with booming thunderous sounds.

Even though Old Ancestor Zhubo was still only at Level Two of the Heavenly Human Realm, which was one step below Old Ancestor Hua Ye in terms of cultivation, he believed that he could hold off Old Ancestor Hua Ye for at least two quarters of an hour if it was just dragging him down.

Just when Old Ancestor Hua Ye was being held by Old Ancestor Zhubo.

In Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard.

Old Ancestor Beichen glanced at Wang Longyan and said casually: “Old Ancestor Longyan, let’s each choose one, do you want Huangfu Jinning or Huangfu Jinyu?”

Her demeanor was like picking out merchandise.

Wang Longyan’s brows under the veil raised slightly, she pointed her beautiful eyes at Huangfu Jinning: “He is from the direct line of the Huangfu Clan, I’ll choose him.”

As soon as the words fell,

Wang Longyan, with the Dragon Smoke Sword in her hand, swept up a frosty storm and stormed towards Huangfu Jinning.

Since she chose Huangfu Jinning, Old Ancestor Beichen naturally could only pick Huangfu Jinyu.

“Although both are of the ‘Jin’ generation. However, compared to Huangfu Jinyuan, you are far behind.” After glancing at Huangfu Jinyu, he looked somewhat displeased.

Despite dying in disgrace, Huangfu Jinyuan still held a degree of respect in Old Ancestor Beichen’s heart.

As for the others of the ‘Jin’ generation, they were not even worth his consideration.

The last word, “far”, came out,

The Town Dragon Monument held by Old Ancestor Beichen hummed, making a sound as heavy as evening drums and morning bells.

The Town Dragon Monument grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it conjured up a solid monument-shaped shadow, moving with a force as heavy as a small mountain towards Huangfu Jinyu.

Huangfu Jinyu gritted his teeth, wielding his Spirit Sword to resist desperately.

Although both he and Huangfu Jinning had been worn down a wave, they hadn’t yet reached the point of losing their fighting capabilities. For the time being, neither Old Ancestor Longyan nor Old Ancestor Beichen could claim victory over their opponents.

The two sides clashed fiercely, instantly splitting the battlefield into three parts.

At the same time,

Chen Junyao, the current stationed Elder of the rotation period, hurried over and landed gracefully by Wang Shouzhe, reporting respectfully: “Family Head Shouzhe, as per your earlier instruction, I have evacuated all the relevant people to the hidden rooms in the mountains as soon as the battle began.”

He glanced across the battlegrounds, hesitated slightly, and asked, “Do I need to step forward to help?”

“Elder Jun Yao, we appreciate your intention,” Wang Shouzhe respectfully returned the courtesy, “Currently, everything is under control. You just need to stand by.”

Chen Jun Yao frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

The two elders from the Huangfu Clan who had come were cultivators at the advanced stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, whereas he, Chen Jun Yao, had not even reached the middle stage. He guessed that Master Shouzhe was probably dismissing him due to his lack of strength, fearing he might be in danger.

This made Chen Jun Yao quite melancholic.

Times really do change fast. He, as an ordinary elder of the Spirit Platform Realm, could barely get involved in the battles anymore. Luckily, he was only eighty or ninety years old, still quite young, and had the chance to make more progress.

Wang Shouzhe also had some sentiments.

He recalls that more than a decade ago, he and the Elder Longyan had gone to deal with affairs at the Hundred Islands Guard on the merchant ship “Jun Yao.”

The merchant ship, named after Elder Jun Yao, was used to deter petty and lowly people.

However, unexpectedly.

The Ping’an Wang Family has grown to such an extent, that they don’t even need to rely on elders of the Spirit Platform Realm like Elder Jun Yao in battles anymore.

After this feeling of nostalgia passed, Wang Shouzhe quickly collected his thoughts and focused his attention on the battlefields of the Spirit Platform Realm.

He hadn’t utilized Elder Jun Yao because he had long planned to take action himself.

When the Huangfu Clan once plotted against the Ping’an Wang Family, it could have been seen as a casual move for them, as effortless as crushing an ant that might pose a threat in the future.

However, that seemingly casual move caused a catastrophe that almost led to the annihilation of the Ping’an Wang Clan, and many clansmen lost their lives as a result.

Given the chance for revenge, he, of course, wanted to do it himself.

Thus, he waited for the right moment.

A heavy and condensed pale blue ‘mysterious energy’ spread out from his feet like a swimming dragon, constantly stretching forward.

This energy was brimming with vigor and vitality, extremely nimble as if it had eyes, and fell automatically onto those charred and broken Iron Python Vines.

The energy infiltrated the roots.

In an instant, a miraculous thing happened.

The scorched Iron Python Vines that had lost their vitality, unbelievably regained their life force!

The charred skin cracked and peeled off, and fresh vine skin grew underneath. The broken stems also sprouted new buds. In just a moment, they were thriving again like living creatures and rushed towards the two elders of the Huangfu Clan.

“How is this possible!”

The Huangfu elders, Jinning and Jinyu, were both shocked.

They were already struggling enough to handle their respective opponents. If the Iron Python Vines joined the fray, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

From the moment Wang Shouzhe casually made his move, the two elders of the Huangfu Clan fell into a hard battle. They were caught off guard, and their defeat was imminent.

Chen Jun Yao, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

No wonder Master Shouzhe didn’t need his help. It turns out that just one person, Master Shouzhe, was enough to easily support two of his allies.

They were both at the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. How could there be such a big gap?

Just as he was thinking this.

Suddenly.

Huangfu Jinyu was caught off guard and was entangled by an Iron Python Vine.

He swiftly sliced off the vine in a panic, but his movements were consequently slowed down and was directly hit by the phantom image of the Town Dragon Monument coming towards him.

“Boom!”

His body shook as he spurt out blood, flying backward several meters before finally falling to the ground.

“Cough~cough~cough~”

He struggled to get up but did not notice that a vine with a completely different color from the Iron Python Vines was quietly approaching him within the surrounding thicket.

It was emitting a reddish color, looking ferocious and bloodthirsty.

Quietly, it tightly wrapped around Huangfu Jinyu’s calf.

Spiky bristles like a leech’s mouth parts quietly punctured his veins. A refreshing feeling numbed his senses, so he didn’t feel any pain at all.

Only when his blood was being sucked out through the hollow spikes did Huangfu Jinyu sense something was off.

Seeing what went down on his calf, his eyes widened in horror. He was terrified, “What kind of creature is this?!”

Without thinking, he swung his sword and cut off the spike.

Blood sprayed out instantly.

Unexpectedly, this action seemed to anger the “creature.”

It rose up in fury, revealing its horrifying true form.

It was a sturdy vine like a crimson python, its body covered with needle-like bristles—it was evil, cold, and gave off a terrifying aura that made one’s heart palpitate.

In just an instant, it wrapped around Huangfu Jinyu’s body like a mad python.

At the same time, hundreds of bloodsucking spikes plunged into his body. With one surge and one contraction, its originally somewhat withered stem swelled up at a visibly rapid pace as it filled with blood.

“Ah!”

Huangfu Jinyu screamed in extreme terror.

However, his entire body was numb at this moment, just like being under the effect of a massive dose of anesthesia. He was entirely powerless and had no way to struggle even if he wanted to.

In just a few moments, he became emaciated, his eyes bulged, presenting an awful sight of someone who had been sucked dry of his blood.

“This…”

Even Old Ancestor Beichen, who was watching this scene, felt chills running down his spine. Fear washed over him, and he couldn’t help but shift back a little in secret.

Yes, this crimson python-like creature was the “Bloodthirsty Vine” that Wang Shouzhe had tamed.

After draining Huangfu Jinyu’s blood, its body swelled up, its stem seemed to be flowing with bloodlights, and looked plump and shiny. It crawled back lazily to Wang Shouzhe and lay down, as if it was drunk.

But at the same time, an awe-inspiring potent aura was spreading from it.

At this moment, it was actually entering the state of evolution!
