Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 882: Chapter 30 I! Zong’an the Great Heavenly Proud! Hit the Jackpot!

…

Return to Dragon City, also known as Shangjing City or the Imperial Capital.

It has always been the political, military, economic, cultural, and even the trendsetting center of Great Qian Land. It could be said that it is the heart of the entire Great Qian Land.

Therefore, it is also an excellent place for gaining fame and climbing the social ladder.

Every year, countless ambitious young masters, or influential Prominent Families unwilling to remain as local powers forever, come here, trying to make a name for themselves in Return to Dragon City.

Yet most of them come eagerly and leave in defeat.

Only a very few of the few manage to gain a foothold in Return to Dragon City, then relying on reproduction and generational accumulation, eventually become part of Return to Dragon City.

As a result, people living in Return to Dragon City often have a sense of natural superiority, also a bit more pride and arrogance than the local mighty Prominent Families.

The meteoric rise of the Great Arrogant Li Yao, with an invincible stance, shattered the inner pride of the younger generation of Return to Dragon City while soaring her reputation to the zenith. It also deeply stimulated them.

Many young Sky Prides began to strive harder, entering a mode of arduous cultivation.

Especially Little Commandery Prince Wu Zhixing, who was knocked unconscious on the scene, has been urged by his family elders to cultivate daily, with Heaven and Earth Treasures and spirit pills being lavished upon him like money was no object. The aim was that one day, Wu Zhixing might avenge his humiliation and prove to the world that the Imperial Household is still the strongest.

Besides, Great Arrogant Shangguan Yunque from the Grade Four Prominent Family GuiLong Shangguan Clan was also living a secluded life, spending every day in strenuous cultivation or comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, at his strong request, the clan’s total resources were continually tilted towards him.

As a Great Heavenly Proud, Shangguan Yunque’s position within the Shangguan family was undoubtedly very high for a Grade Four Prominent Family, being the key to their future promotion to Third Grade. As long as he had needs, the family would certainly try their best to meet his growth requirements.

As one of “the top ten Prominent Families” in Return to Dragon City, the Shangguan clan, even amidst the many prestigious families in Return to Dragon City, is a family of outstanding reputation and high prestige.

The Shangguan Main Residence is located in the southern part of Return to Dragon City, and with the family’s growing strength, this Main Residence has undergone several expansions and has become immensely large.

The outer walls of the Main Residence have an irregular shape, winding and serpentine, resembling a “city wall”. The area enclosed by this “city wall”, just in terms of size, is almost equivalent to that of a medium-sized town elsewhere.

Inside, courtyards are densely scattered, and there is an abundance of trees and flowers, even a man-made lake spanning hundreds of acres, as well as a complex network of man-made waterways that run through the entire Main Residence.

This is the strength and foundation of a Grade Four prestigious Prominent Family, which, even in the gold-valued Return to Dragon City, still maintains such a luxurious and vast Main Residence.

Purely in terms of history and foundation, the current Changning Wang Clan is still far from matching the GuiLong Shangguan Clan. However, if one talks about developmental potential, the Shangguan clan is nowhere near the Changning Wang Clan.

In the backyard of the Shangguan Main Residence, there is a large martial field that covers a thousand acres.

Great Arrogant Shangguan Yunque is industriously practicing his Profound Martial Fighting Techniques.

Dressed in simple yet heavy armor, like that of ancient warriors, he wielded a spear overflowing with Evil Qi. Each move and style was without frivolity, solid as a mountain, with a ferocity that could sweep through thousands of troops, fierce as though fighting for life on the battlefield.

Behind him, a massive and solid Kylin Dharma appeared almost tangible, majestically moving across the martial field alongside Shangguan Yunque, running as fast as the wind, roaring like thunder, displaying the unrivaled and fierce aura of the king of beasts.

That’s right, the Cultivation Technique that Shangguan Yunque primarily practiced was one designed for the battlefield.

In single combat, he might be at a slight disadvantage, but once on the battlefield amidst thousands of troops, he could dominate the enemy lines and sweep away all opposition.

It should be said that Shangguan Yunque is a man of great fate.

His set of Spiritual Treasure-grade armor and spear, as well as the Qilin Xuanling Zhenfa he practiced, were all obtained from the secret legacies of his family, through his own strength and destiny.

In the future, once he joins the army, he is very likely to establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield, aspire for a Marquis title, and win a hereditary Marquis position for the Shangguan family.

At that time, the Shangguan family could thus join the ranks of the titled nobility, enjoy a series of preferential treatments, and greatly enhance the family’s foundation.

As for the position of Duke, that was something the Shangguan family dared not hope for. After all, Great Qian was extremely cautious about bestowing the titles of Duke and Marquis. Unless it was the founding of the nation or there were heaven-defying Merit Points, the possibility of being decreed a Duke was almost nonexistent.

In the vast Great Qian, with countless Prominent Families, there are currently only two Duke’s Mansions and two Marquis Houses.

At a distance.

The descendants of the Shangguan family, aside from their own cultivation, all cast admiring and reverent gazes toward Shangguan Yunque. That is our Great Heavenly Proud of the Shangguan family, the hope for our family’s rise to power.

In the eyes of many young generations of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yunque is a godlike figure. Even Wu Zhixing of the Imperial Household is seen as someone who relies on the support of the Imperial Household and the supply of countless precious resources to have his current reputation. If the circumstances were reversed, who would be stronger is still debatable.

As for the rumors circulating in the market, saying that the Great Arrogant Li Yao had a secret battle with Shangguan Yunque, resulting in a complete defeat for Shangguan Yunque, no one inside the Shangguan family believes that. They all think it’s just Li Yao’s boastful pomp.
