Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 847: Chapter 21: Emperor Longchang Appears! Spiritual Treasure Thousand Autumn Enters the Scene (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_6

His own sister, naturally, he knew her best. From a young age, she was full of tricks and always did whatever it took to achieve her goals. There might already be a pit in front of him, waiting for him to jump into.

“Er… giggles~ Brother, how can you speak of me like this? I did it all for your sake, don’t just focus on cultivating all the time. Competing with masters can constantly help you break through your limits,” said Lady Bilian righteously.

“While that may be true, I still feel something is off.” Abruptly, Shangguan Yunque’s eyes narrowed and his expression became extremely serious, “Right, I heard rumors earlier that you’ve been associating with a certain Wang family~ Could it be… that Wang Liyao is your lover…”

“Brother!” Lady Bilian was almost infuriated to explosion, “I am your sister! Do you really treat your sister like this by slandering her?”

In her heart, she was even more angered, muttering, I did have the impulse to sleep… but they just won’t give me a chance.

“Ahem~ Ahem ahem~ Sorry, sorry.” Shangguan Yunque felt awkward and hurriedly apologized, “It’s all because those rumors were as clear as nose and eyes.”

Although his sister appeared innocent, he always felt she seemed somewhat disappointed.

“Sigh~”

Lady Bilian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That Wang Shouzhe really knew how to give her tough challenges.

She wondered what he was really thinking, persuading her to provoke her brother into battle—was it because he feared his daughter wasn’t having enough excitement in Shangjing? Or did he really think, that Wang Liyao could actually best her brother?

But then again.

Master Shouzhe was becoming increasingly intriguing… No wonder the Firefox Old Ancestor liked sticking around him, if positions were reversed… giggles~

This odd situation even gave Shangguan Yunque and his brother goosebumps; and Biliand, she…

…

Time flew, and in a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The hottest event in Return to Dragon City during this time was the Challenger of Heaven initiated by Wang Liyao.

And today.

It was the secretly arranged battle of the great warriors, set up by the Heng Commandery Prince, featuring Wang Liyao, the warrior from Longzuo Purple Abode Academic Palace versus the Imperial Household’s Zhixing warrior.

This once-in-a-century battle naturally attracted everyone’s attention, with the excitement reaching its peak.

Outside White Cloud Tower, there was a sea of people.

Those were the spectators who couldn’t squeeze inside but even just experiencing the ambiance from a distance was considered good.

Inside White Cloud Tower, it was full of nobility, with princes aplenty like dogs.

Today, even those sitting in the scattered seats were, on normal days, highly esteemed leaders in their own right. As for those in the private booths, any single one of them when mentioned could cause the earth to shake three times with a stomp of their foot.

Especially in those few most luxurious and high-end private booths, the isolation array methods were fully activated, and it was impossible to tell who was sitting inside. All people saw was even the owner of White Cloud Tower, the Heng Commandery Prince, entering with a bent back and exiting with a full-faced smile, a picture of utmost respect.

In one of these private booths.

As one of the main characters of this battle—Wang Liyao.

She sat quietly on an ancient Spirit Wood Material chair, her bright and profound eyes tranquil and undisturbed, reflecting the calmness of her inner spirit.

Instead, the two Heavenly Proud-level followers behind her seemed somewhat restless.

Indeed, she now had two Heavenly Proud-level followers. One was naturally Mo Wanqiu, and the other was none other than Wang Annan.

Speaking of the vitality of the cultivators in the Sky People Realm, it was tenacious. Even with both legs broken and numerous flesh wounds, it only took a little over ten days for them to start jumping around again.

The physicians in the Ding Duke’s Mansion were quite skilled, with internal Dan medicine and external applications, plus the nourishing and healing effects of Wood Type Mysterious Energy were remarkable.

This was the foundation of a top-tier noble family, possessing talents in all respects.

As soon as Wang Liyao returned to the Wang family’s main residence, she received the best care. She was also summoned and encouraged by the only Old Ancestor of the Wang family, who bestowed her with many gifts and kicked Wang Annan to her as a follower.

Though Wang Annan’s strength was not on par with the Great Heavenly Proud, he was still quite formidable among those of the Heavenly Proud level, serving as a follower to Wang Liyao wasn’t really an insult to her.

“Grand Aunt Liyao,” Once he became a follower, Wang Annan completely turned into a big-time flatterer of the Heavenly Proud Liyao, reporting continuously, “My brothers have already helped to find out that in the past dozen days, Wu Zhixing was nominally in seclusion but in reality, he was refining a Divine Spiritual Treasure. Apparently, it was the Little Princess who begged it from the emperor. I mean wow, the Imperial Household is really too much—”

“Watch your words,” Wang Liyao scolded with a cold glance.

“Yes, yes, I’ll watch my words, watch my words,” Wang Annan nodded and bowed, but he said with a worried expression, “Grand Aunt, even though Wu Zhixing is a bit timid, his strength is really not weak. And what is most critical is that he is about a decade older than you…”

For ordinary cultivators who were seventy or eighty years old, a decade would not show too much of a difference. But for this age group of Great Heavenly Proud, it was the time when their strength was rapidly advancing; sometimes even a five to six years difference could be significant.

“No matter,” Wang Liyao said calmly, “This battle in the Challenger of Heaven is about self-improvement, and winning or losing is not important. The stronger the strength of Sky Pride Zhixing, the happier I am.”

Wang Annan was just about to flatter praisingly.

Out in the random seating area comes a loud uproar: “Sky Pride Zhixing and Snow Condensation Warrior have arrived, they’re here~”

Outside the White Cloud Tower.

A man with a restrained and gentle demeanor and a beautiful and flamboyant girl walked into the White Cloud Tower under the gaze of countless eyes.

Amid the discussions and cheers.

The man dressed in a dark fighting attire strolled leisurely onto the fighting stage.

“Zhixing requests to see Heavenly Proud Liyao,” Wu Zhixing’s voice had a hint of laziness. Normally, he just wanted to cultivate quietly and did not want to fight others to the death.

However, this battle had already caught the emperor’s attention, who, through Xue Ning, had bestowed upon him the Divine Spiritual Treasure—Thousand Autumn.

He had no choice but to fight.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Wang Liyao, with a celestial grace, soared down before she even had a chance to speak.

From behind Wu Zhixing, a sword flew out with a “whoosh,” trembling as it spoke: “Wow, this chick is so hot, Little Wu. Go on, quick, go defeat her, suppress her, make her yours—”

“Bang!”

Before “Thousand Autumn” could complete its sentence, it was stomped by Wu Zhixing onto the Obsidian Fighting Stage, and he said to Wang Liyao with an embarrassed face, “Miss Liyao, I didn’t expect that damn thing to be so indecent.”

Sorrowfully in his heart, no wonder the emperor handed over the Divine Spiritual Treasure so readily…
