Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 739: Chapter 98: Youqing Going Berserk! The Child’s Mom Shows Up at the Scene (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

…

Just as Wang Shouzhe was admonishing his son.

Cao Youqing next to him, seems to be greatly moved as well.

Her face gradually turned solemn, and she bowed to Wang Shouzhe, saying, “I will always remember the wise words of Master Shouzhe today. After your death, I, Cao Youqing, will endeavor to change my character and not give our enemies any advantage.”

“Wang Shouzhe, don’t think that a mere commander can protect you, you have no idea how powerful a Sky Pride in the Advanced Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm from a Sacred Land truly is! Today, as a recipient of your heartfelt advice, I have no way to repay your kindness, except to promise you a complete corpse.”

“Ah, Immortal Youqing, look at you, always so presumptuous, speaking for yourself,” Wang Shouzhe ‘disappointedly’ shook his head, and turned to Wang Zong’an again, “Judging the other party’s next move based on their personality can only serve as a reference for decision-making. To truly anticipate the enemy’s moves, one must focus more on actual intelligence. The proverb of ‘bold assumption and careful verification’ is key to knowing both your enemy and yourself thus achieving a hundred victories in a hundred battles.”

“Yes, father, I understand.”

Wang Zong’an responded listlessly, thinking to himself: What use is understanding so much if you won’t give me a chance to put it into practice?

“Be more spirited,” Wang Shouzhe rebuked in a low voice, “Remember everything I’m teaching you now and make sure to thoroughly understand it. Otherwise, how can I confidently entrust you with the protection of Qingluo Guard?”

“Guarding Qingluo Guard?”

It took a moment for Wang Zong’an to respond, and then he was so moved he almost cried.

Finally, finally, he, Young Clan Leader Zong’an, has the opportunity to run his own house and take charge of a region. He, Young Clan Leader Zong’an, is about to rise~~~

His spirits immediately lifted, and he happily bowed to Wang Shouzhe,”Thank you father for entrusting me with such an important task.”

“Don’t celebrate too soon. After this matter is resolved, you will stay at Qingluo Guard, learn from Master Wei and understand how to set up and manage a region.”

“Yes, father.”

As the father and son exchanged words, Wei Wenxun also chuckles, “Master Shouzhe, please rest assured. Young Clan Leader is steady and intelligent. In the future, he will definitely become a great asset and your genuine right-hand man.”

Listening to Wang Shouzhe planning his son’s future, Cao Youqing on the side could no longer bear it.

“Wang Shouzhe, you’re proficient at dragging out time,” she could barely contain her rage, “However, I’ve lost my patience, today you…..”

Unexpectedly.

Before she could finish speaking, a series of soft laughter rang out, “Hehehe~ Immortal Youqing, oh Immortal Youqing, you truly are so naive.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqing felt a surge of dread. To her surprise, an enchanting figure appeared on the sea surface near the Reef Island.

She wore a veil over her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly. Only her long flowing white dress, against the endless blue sea and sky, looked extraordinarily pure and ethereal.

She slowly walked over the void, swaying gracefully, so enchanting that it’s hard to put into words.

With her arrival, the undulating waves seem to have been swept by some invisible force, becoming much quieter and gentler.

Huh?

Both Wang Zong’an and Wei Wenxun looked somewhat puzzled upon seeing her.

Who is this Immortal? Why haven’t they ever seen her before?

However, even though they did not recognize her, Cao Youqing did. She immediately recognized her, colder eyes focused on her, she exclaimed with hostility, “It’s you! Tian Yan, what are you doing here?! Could it be…..”

“You make it sound like… this Qingluo Sea is your personal property, why can’t I be here?”

Tian Yan, the Immortal, nonchalantly glanced at her, but her attention was not on her. Instead, she looked at Wang Shouzhe, paying respect to him, her charming eyes riddled with mixed emotions, “Sir Shouzhe, it’s been almost twenty years since we last met. Sir looks even more outstanding than before, with an appearance and demeanor that is more stunning.”

Wang Shouzhe slightly bowed, courteously replying, “Your aura, Immortal, is also greatly improved compared to the past. Over the years, I have been greatly obliged to you for providing information from the shadows.”

“Tian Yan, the Immortal? This… It turns out that my father has been in contact with Tian Yan, the Immortal all this while?” Wang Zong’an’s expression shifted slightly, looking at Wang Shouzhe with both apprehension and admiration.

He had heard of Tian Yan, the Immortal from his cousin Shihai.

Shihai had animatedly depicted to them how Tian Yan, the Immortal, was infatuated with their father and constantly pursued him, wanting to become his concubine.

Their mother had often dragged their father to the Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion to chastise him because of this. This Tian Yan, the Immortal…

“Is this Young Clan Leader Zong’an?”

Just as Wang Zong’an was lost in thought, Tian Yan’s gaze fell on him, praising, “As expected of Sir Shouzhe’s son, also handsome, dignified and outstanding.”

Her gaze was as if a young woman was looking at her excellent stepson, filled with a joyous pride and a hint of “kindness”.

Wang Zong’an shuddered under her stare, quickly bowing and greeting, “Zong’an is honoured to meet Tian Yan, the Immortal.”

Cao Youqing, watching them engage in idle chat, was nearly exploded with rage.

Looking at Tian Yan, the Immortal with a chilling gaze, she angrily interrupted, “Tian Yan, has your Sky Pillar long been keeping an eye on me? No wonder…no wonder all my actions have been calculated by you.”

“But there’s one thing I always wondered about. I may not like Luo Yuqing, but I have to admit she is quite capable with her ‘Dawn’. How did you infiltrate into ‘Dawn’, how did you get my whereabouts?”

“Infiltrate ‘Dawn’? Tian Yan, the Immortal, chuckled, “Our Sky Pillar and Dawn have been in a reciprocating battle and on guard against each other all along. It’s not easy for you to infiltrate the Sky Pillar, just as it’s not easy for us to infiltrate Dawn.”

“However, it’s different for your Cao Family of Liaoyuan, being as porous as a sieve, top-down. It was easier for our Sky Pillar to infiltrate your Cao Family. Getting some key figures of your Cao Family, naturally, we could track your movements, Immortal Youqing, hehehe~ ”

Cao Youqing’s face turned unsightly, perhaps as never before.

So, the final factor of failure was within the Cao Family itself. As Wang Shouzhe had said, the internal affairs of the Cao Family were indeed problematic…

However, matters had advanced to a point where there was no room for Cao Youqing to retreat.

For her sake, for the sake of the Cao Family, the Old Ancestor had been besieged by three individuals in the Purple Abode Realm. It seemed inevitable that he had fallen into great danger.

Today, she must kill Wang Shouzhe to atone for the offenses committed. Only then would the Young Master Ce step forward to protect the Cao Family. In the future, when she advances to the Purple Abode Realm, she would be able to revive the glory of the Cao Family!

“Wang Shouzhe, you must die today.” Cao Youqing’s eyes gradually became intense. As her Mysterious Energy surged, streaks of electrical aura constantly converged on her, her tone was stern, “Tian Yan, if you dare intervene, I will kill you as well!”

Having said that, she drew her sword, and her momentum suddenly escalated.

A towering silhouette abruptly emerged behind her; a humanoid with the head of an eagle, clad in ethereal dark robes, its enormous wings seemed to carry the lightning of thunder, radiating wave after wave of unstoppable oppressive power. It was as if the god of thunder had descended into the world.

This figure was none other than the Dharma Shadow she had activated after her bloodline awakened to the Spiritual Body stage.

“Boom!”

With the appearance of the Dharma Shadow, violent electrostatic energy erupted from her, concentrated into a single sword.

The “Purple Xiao Sky Thunder Sword” was a part of the orthodox inheritance of one of the nine veins of the Sacred Land, the Purple Xiao Sky Thunder Branch. Cao Youqing’s talent was outstanding, and she was one of the top talents in this branch. Moreover, she had already activated the Sky Thunder Spiritual Body after advancing to the Heavenly Human Realm. How could her strength be underestimated?

At this moment, she was fully exerting every bit of her strength. Purple sparks pulsed about her, brimming with rumbling thunder, it created a sensation as if the Sky Thunder was going to strike down imminently, resembling the might of the Heavenly Dao.

“What powerful Purple Xiao Sky Thunder True Intent!”

Fairy Tian Yan’s pupils contracted, she felt like she had underestimated the renowned “Fairy Youqing”.

The Lingyun Holy Ground was filled with countless powerful individuals, and numerous Sky Prides. It was much more difficult to stand out there than in a local learning palace. Considering Cao Youqing could earn her fame with her credentials of being a Sky Pride, her strength was anything but simple.

Immediately, she dared not to take the matter lightly, “Master Shouzhe, please retreat. I am going to block her.”

Having said that, she darted in front of Wang Shouzhe.

At the same time, her momentum surged, her dark energy pulsated, causing her skirt to flutter whilst exuding an celestial charm.

At some point, a silver ring, detailed and exquisite, had appeared on her slim fingers. It was covered in intricate inscriptions emitting a powerful magical aura.

As she lightly strummed the ring with her fingertips, it seemed like every tap was playing tunes upon the void.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The void seemed to reverberate under her manipulation, emanating sounds like the vibration of a guqin’s strings. Amidst the heavy melodies, the space before her twisted as if an invisible shield was forming.

“Using heaven as a guqin, and the Dao as a melody; what a move, ‘Sky Sound Shield’! Tian Yan, you are indeed the survivor of the ‘Tianyin Branch’!”

A trace of severity crossed Cao Youqing’s eyes, then a purplish glint flickered across her eyes, her haughtiness was utterly undisturbed, “I don’t care about your background, before my Purple Xiao Sky Thunder Sword Intent, everything will dissipate into dust!”

“Break!”

At her command, the formidable Purple Xiao Sky Thunder Sword, surged towards Tian Yan and Wang Shouzhe, slashing like divine punishment.

The terrifying Sword Intent seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth.

“Boom~~!”

In the deafening boom, the formidable Sword Intent violently crashed into the Sky Sound Shield.

Instantaneously, the twisted space that constituted the Sky Sound Shield violently caved in. The shield, which was constructed by an invisible force, developed web-like cracks that rapidly spread across it.

“Master Shouzhe, retreat quickly! I can’t hold her off for long!”

Fairy Tian Yan’s face was pale, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down her forehead without her realizing.

She didn’t expect that Cao Youqing’s progression would be so rapid, her strength was even higher than what the earlier information had suggested. Despite being a Sky Pride in the advanced stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, she barely blocked Cao Youqing’s sword!

“Elder, do not panic. I am certain my father still has reserves.” said Wang Zong’an in a calm and composed manner. From his understanding of his father, the harder times got, the more reserves there would be.

Otherwise, his father would never have brought him over to witness these events.

After all, his father often said that it was the elder’s job to hold up the sky for the family’s development, while they, the younger generation, need only concentrate on cultivation.

As expected.

As Wang Zong’an’s words faded, a figure he was intimately familiar with abruptly appeared.

Her steps were graceful and light. As she walked through the void, each step seemed to tread upon the nodes in space.

With every manoeuvre of her lotus step, ripples echoed through space rhythmically, causing pulsations that quaked the heart!

“Mother, mother…”

In the flash of an instant, Wang Zong’an’s heart quivered.

No way? His father’s reserve this time was too brutal. He actually brought his mother as the reserve.

Heaven, this was a prelude to a major calamity, wasn’t it?
