Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 736: Chapter 97: The Difficulties of the Young Clan Leader of Zong’an_1

…

“Blocked, it was blocked.”

Wei Wenxun staggered, nearly unsteady on his feet, but luckily Wang Shouzhe steadied him from behind.

The gap between the early Heavenly Human Realm and the Purple Abode Realm was just too big.

In the face of the Purple Abode Realm, he felt as helpless and fragile as a child. For a moment, he truly thought he was going to die, and now he felt weak, as if he had narrowly escaped death.

Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder, “Thank you, Commander Wei.” His words hinted at familiarity.

He seemed calm, as if everything had been within his expectations. The only thing he hadn’t expected was that Wei Wenxun would instinctively shield him.

After several deep breaths, Wei Wenxun finally recovered a bit, but he was still astonished, “Thank goodness for the Spirit Fox Ancestor. Master Shouzhe, did you foresee this happening?”

Wei Wenxun then ordered some soldiers to protect Wang Shouzhe and his people. While these soldiers may have seemed insignificant to a Purple Abode Realm cultivator, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

“Hehe~ Hard to say, let’s see how things pan out,” Wang Shouzhe chuckled without saying more, looking up at the sky.

Above, the energy aftermath was rapidly dispersing.

The shadowy figure appeared back in everyone’s sight.

His straw coat was ashes, replaced by a purple robe of magical treasure grade.

A mysterious mask hid his face. Only his white hair splayed from both sides revealing his advanced age.

With hands behind his back, he stood mid-air, looking down at the Seven-Tailed Spirit Fox, sounding somewhat astonished, “The Spirit Fox Ancestor of the Yuwen Clan?”

“Old man, who are you?” barked the Spirit Fox Ancestor, her seven tails flaring up like flames and her teeth bared, “My handsome brother Shouzhe was attacked by you?”

“Who I am isn’t up to a mere spirit beast like you to know,” the masked elder sneered, “You, a recently ascended Level Seven Spirit Beast, think you can stop me? That’s foolish delusion!”

With that, his aura surged dramatically.

Behind him, a large shadow suddenly materialized.

It was a giant creature resembling a large fish. Its massive fins, akin to wings, opened while long whiskers fluttered vaguely.

As the shadow appeared, a long cry echoed from the void. The sound felt ancient, imbued with long-lost grandeur and melancholy.

The undulating sea stilled at the cry, only to suddenly surge up into a massive wave, as if welcoming the arrival of their king.

Clearly, this was his Dharma Shadow.

The Cao family had awakened a variety of bloodlines, yet the most common was related to elemental water. In particular, the bloodline of their ancestor Cao Kun Hao, had awakened the Dragon Whale Dharma Phase.

This was a giant beast from ancient times. It was said to rival the True Dragon of the seas, a long-ago apex predator of the waters.

With the aide of Dharma Shadow, spiritual energy from the depths of the sea was drawn out and became near limitless.

Law powers spread wildly.

The murky eyes of Ancestor Kun Hao glinted with killing intent as he abruptly struck downward with his palm.

In an instant, a brilliant light erupted.

His astounding elemental water power transformed into a giant wave that stormed towards the Seven-Tailed Fire Fox. Despite revealing his Dharma Shadow, which could expose his identity, he decided it didn’t matter.

Wang Shouzhe’s existence was a great threat to the Cao family, and his own lifespan was limited. Thus revealing was bearable.

This sudden display of power was like the pouring of the celestial river, as if all in heaven and earth would be engulfed. Even the raging sea during a storm would not compare to this power.

“Dragon Whale Dharma Phase!” Wei Wenxun gasped, finally recognizing, “A Purple Abode Realm cultivator of the elemental water lineage with the Dragon Whale Dharma Phase. Could it be… Could it be Ancestor Kun Hao from the distant Cao family?!”

Anyone who had reached the Purple Abode Realm would not be obscure. Especially Ancestor Kun Hao of the Cao family, he was one of the key figures monitored by the government.

Even though Wei Wenxun worked in Longzuo County all this time, he had heard some rumors. The Cao family now held deep grudges against the Wang family.

Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes, unphased.

He had thoroughly investigated the Cao family.

If the family head of the Cao family, Cao Bangning, did have some wits about him. And, they got out of this pirate colluding matter thanks to Cao Bangning’s continuous mediation and prompt decision to cut off the rotten part to save the whole.

However, it seems the family had grown accustomed to their bandit-like domineering attitude in dealing with the pirates. There was no uniform education for the younger generation. The more talented a child was, the more they were spoiled.

This is what led to the arrogant brats who couldn’t bear the slightest injustice and were short-sighted and vengeful against any slight attack.

This was true for Cao Youqing, Cao Bangyan, and even for the ancestor of the Cao family, Ancestor Kun Hao.

Now the Cao family had suffered such a big loss and given their temperament, if they held themselves back and didn’t react, it would truly be strange.
