Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 407: Chapter 94 Sky Pride! Who Doesn’t Have A Few_2

Wang Shouzhe had the leftover food cleared away, replaced with fresh Spirit Melons and Spirit Fruits, candied fruits and various snacks, while also brewing a pot of high-quality Spiritual Tea.

The four of them then began to discuss the main topic.

“Senior Brother Youan,” Wang Shouzhe said as he sipped his Spiritual Tea, “You got to know the cause of this matter four years ago. I have always been unable to put the Yinsha Sect investigation aside, as their evil spirit still lingers. It’s apparent that this matter is likely the work of some force or person within the Yinsha Sect, searching and excavating some ancient ruins of the Divine Martial Dynasty around some place in the southern part of our Longzuo County.”

“Over the years, I have intermittently conveyed the information I obtained through letters to you, Senior Brother. Have you been able to piece together anything from it?”

Fang Youan sipped his Spiritual Tea leisurely and said, “Based on the information you have provided, I have been delving into related records in the Academic Palace non-stop. It can be concluded that the ancient ruins of the Divine Martial Dynasty have something to do with a character from the Dynasty known as the ‘Blood Venerate’.”

Even in the open-minded and tolerant Divine Martial Dynasty, the “Blood Venerate” was seen as a heretical figure.

His main proposition was to refine the bloodline of demons and graft it into a human body, turning all commoners of the Divine Martial Dynasty into bloodline possessors.

Moreover, he didn’t only talk the talk, but also walked the walk, leading a considerable number of followers and taking on countless disciples.

What made matters worse were his cruel research methods. He would often set up large-scale experimental fields in the big towns, using humans as test subjects. Each experiment resulted in countless deaths of civilians and warriors.

For this reason, he was deemed one of the blacklist criminals by the Divine Martial Dynasty.

After more than three thousand years of activity, the Blood Venerate’s power was eventually completely dismantled, he was captured on the spot, and received the ultimate punishment.

However, many of his countless disciples managed to slip through the net.

These people continued to stealthily operate on the fringes of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s historical stage ever since. Although they did not produce any prominent figures from generation to generation, causing no significant upheaval, they persisted.

Fang Youan continued fluently, “Based on my deductions from the historical materials, environmental changes, and maps, what the Yinsha sect has been coveting is likely a ‘Blood Nest’.”

“‘Blood Nest’?” Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, “That sounds extraordinary. Could you explain in more detail, Senior Brother Youan?”

“The ‘Blood Nest’ is an evil breeding ground set up by the descendants of the Blood Venerate’s disciples who managed to escape. They dedicate it to nurturing Blood Nest Warriors. They’ve been continuously trying to cultivate more powerful Blood Nest Warriors to overthrow the Divine Martial Dynasty.”

“However, as you might already know, the Divine Martial Dynasty is massively stronger than our Da Qian. While the remnants of the Blood Venerate hold ambitious dreams, they are but moths to a flame.”

“However, while a ‘Blood Nest’ might not mean much to the Divine Martial Dynasty, its significance shifts in our era. If it falls into the wrong hands, it could cause major disaster.”

“I’ve also heard of ‘Blood Nests’.” added Junior Sister Green Fern with interest, “I read about it in the resources from the Academic Palace. Our Academic Palace has discovered and explored several Blood Nests. Though their methods are bizarrely brutal, we have to admit that their research on bloodlines is advanced. It’s said that the more advanced Blood Nests can even mass-produce Heavenly Realm Warriors.”

“Mass-produce Heavenly Realm Warriors?!” Wang Shouzhe was taken aback, “Junior Sister Green Fern, isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

“There are indeed records of these high-level Blood Nests in the history of the Divine Martial Dynasty,” said Fang Youan, “However, high-level Blood Nests are rare, even during the Divine Martial Dynasty era. The few Blood Nests that were established by our Purple Abode were of the common variety, able to mass-produce Spirit Platform Realm Blood Nest Warriors at their peak.”

“But the Divine Martial Dynasty has been destroyed for over a hundred thousand years, most of the Blood Nests’ energies are depleted. There probably wouldn’t be many Blood Nest Warriors left in the cultivation tanks, and even if there were, they’d mostly be at the Spirit Platform Realm, maybe just one or two at the Heavenly Human Realm.”

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe had a rough idea of what the Blood Nests were.

After some thought, he said, “That being the case, we still need to be cautious. Senior Brother Youan, I previously wrote to Master Binglan, asking for her aid in dealing with the Yinsha Sect. Has she replied yet?”

Given Wang Shouzhe’s approach of preparing for the worst when dealing with opponents, he naturally wouldn’t rush into an unknown level of Blood Nest.

The Yinsha Sect has always been a major enemy of the Purple Abode Academy. In Wang Shouzhe’s view, if the Purple Abode Academy were to send a Purple Abode Realm master, the matter would be solved in no time.

As for what good things might be inside the dungeon? Wang Shouzhe wasn’t greedy. The family business was doing well, and given a couple hundred years, he didn’t dare claim that his family could rival the wealth of a country. However, at least in Longzuo County, they would certainly rank high in terms of wealth.

Was there any need for him to risk venturing into the dungeon?

Upon hearing Wang Shouzhe mention the message, Fang Youan’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

He said helplessly, “Indeed, Master asked me to bring a message to you. However, I can’t utter this message; I’ll just write it for you to see.”

With that, he took out a pen and paper, mulled it over for a moment, and with great flourish wrote a single, large character – “Scram!”

Yes, he had written the word “Scram!”

“Puh~” Liu Ruolan, who was watching on the side, had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter. “My husband, you must have greatly offended Master Binglan at the Purple Abode Academic Palace. The fact that she even sent a message back shows that she still regards you highly.”

Wang Shouzhe’s face was one of helplessness.

He was truly grateful for her high regard~

As a respected master, was it necessary to be so petty?

“Senior Brother Youan,” Wang Shouzhe sighed, “Essentially, maintaining peace in the world is the duty of our Purple Abode Academic Palace. Even if Master doesn’t help, there’s no need for such nasty words, right?”

“Junior Brother Shouzhe, you’re wrong,” Fang Youan laughed. “Our Purple Abode Academic Palace provides aid to all under heaven out of goodwill, not duty. Furthermore, aren’t you also a named direct disciple of the Academic Palace?”

“Alright, alright~ Don’t worry,” Fang Youan said confidently. “Even if Master isn’t coming, aren’t Ruolan and I still here? Don’t belittle me. I’m a celestial being already in the mid-stage of forming my spirit body, which makes me stronger than the average celestial being.”

When he said this, Fang Youan was clearly proud, which was one of the signs of a Sky Pride.”

The Qi Refinement Realm signifies the awakening of the second bloodline, the Spirit Platform Realm represents the third awakening, and thus, directly upon reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, they would possess the four-level spirit body bloodline.

Such individuals were on the path to the Purple Abode, and if they didn’t falter or fall, they had a considerable probability of becoming a Purple Abode Master in the future.

“Senior Brother Youan is absolutely right,” Wang Shouzhe replied nonchalantly. “However, even though you’re a celestial being and possess a spirit-level bloodline, you still can’t defeat those in the Purple Abode Realm. Also, isn’t everyone considered a Sky Pride?”

Fang Youan’s prideful look faded momentarily before he slowly regained his senses.

Sky Prides are indeed rare, but are there a few in the Ping’an Wang family?

Wang Luo Jing, Wang Luoqiu, and Wang Licui, who was taken as a cherished disciple by the Vice Principal, aren’t all of these academic palace disciples also Sky Prides?

And here’s Wang Shouzhe, along with his low-key wife Liu Ruolan, who are also Sky Prides.

In the Ping’an Wang family, the term Sky Pride isn’t all that remarkable.

What Fang Youan doesn’t know is that Wang Zongchang has also reached the third level bloodline upon ascending to the Spirit Platform Realm, and he will also possess the wind spirit body the moment he ascends to the Heavenly Human Realm.

And Wang Shouzhe’s beloved daughter, her bloodline talent is even more powerful, her future achievements will definitely far exceed Fang Youan.

As for his wife, Liu Ruolan, there’s no need to even mention her. She’s not just a Sky Pride – she’s a Great Sky Pride!

Fang Youan brags about reaching the fourth bloodline and becoming a spirit body in the Heavenly Human Realm.

But Liu Ruolan, she has already reached the fourth bloodline and became a standard water elemental spirit body by the Spirit Platform Realm.

With such a high-end starting point, if she ascends to Heavenly Human Realm and awakens the fifth level bloodline, no matter how you look at it, she’s much stronger than Fang Youan.

Being a Sky Pride, huh? In the Ping’an Wang family, it’s really just standard~
