Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1404: Chapter 51: The First Noble Son of Da Qian_3 Chapter 1404: Chapter 51: The First Noble Son of Da Qian_3 “The Demon King is wise.”

Twenty years later.

The villa on the hilltop looked weather-beaten, the size of the vegetable garden in the courtyard had doubled, and an area cordoned off with a fence now housed a nest of plump Red-Bellied Goldfinches pecking at their feed noisily.

Demon Lord Xietong stood by the fence, staring expressionlessly at the Red-Bellied Goldfinches, his voice listless: “How are things on the Wang family’s side?”

After twenty years of waiting, with the army almost breaching Jianling Pass and West End Pass several times, the urgency he initially felt had faded considerably, giving way to a much more resigned attitude.

Now, he no longer asked about the battle situation, but directly inquired about the progress the Wang family was making in resolving the ruins.

Shadow Snake Demonic Princess furrowed her brows deeply, “Reporting to the Demon King, Chimei just sent back word, and the situation looks grim. The Wang family has successfully breached the outer formation. Now, the Wang family’s troops are stalled inside the Grand Hall of the Bloody Dawn Sacred Temple.”

“The Bloody Dawn Sacred Temple? They’ve actually entered!” The eyes of Demon Lord Xietong widened, his entire demeanour suddenly energized, “Damn the Wang family! We absolutely cannot let them acquire the relics of the Blood Venerate! Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, we must seize…”

“Your Majesty must remain calm~~” The Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, startled, quickly grabbed hold of Demon Lord Xietong, “Jiang Zhencang and Longchang are still at the Wang family’s site, and with the presence of that Old Ancestor, the Azure Dragon of the Primordial Waters, if we make a move now, they will surely intercept us. Should the relics be exposed, our plan will be completely ruined.”

Demon Lord Xietong naturally understood this logic.

He calmed himself down once more: “Urge West Jin and South Qin to intensify their attacks on West End Pass and Jianling Pass.”

Thirty years later.

The country villa atop the hill had become dilapidated, bearing the marks of erosion by wind and rain, though the courtyard had been expanded further.

“Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, the rainy season is approaching; there’s a leak on the left side of the roof that needs timely repair. Remember to gather the vegetables in the front yard in time, or else all will be ruined by your Red-Bellied Goldfinches,” said Demon Lord Xietong, his clone lying under the eaves in a lounge chair, his eyelids slightly closed, his voice sounding as if he had endured many hardships, serene and devoid of harshness.

“Yes, Demon King.”

“Right, South Qin and West Jin are still at war, right? Those two old geezers, Longchang and Jiang Zhencang, are they still freeloading at the Wang family?”

“Still fighting, still freeloading,” replied the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess in a resigned manner, “Does the Demon King want to send a message to the main body, urging an intensified attack?”

“With the current situation, what use is urging them? Let’s wait some more,” said Demon Lord Xietong without even opening his eyes, speaking in resignation, “Anyway, it’s said that the Wang family hasn’t actually entered the relics of the Blood Venerate.”

“The Demon King is wise.”

The Shadow Snake Demonic Princess flattered calmly.

In recent ten years, similar conversations had been repeated countless times by the duo. Even if the border reported something like “almost breached Jianling Pass” or “almost breached West End Pass,” neither felt much emotional turmoil anymore.

…

While Demon Lord Xietong and Shadow Snake Demonic Princess were stationed outside the territory, nearly growing mushrooms in their wait, everything within the Dagan Realm was progressing methodically according to Wang Shouzhe’s plans; lives went on, development continued, seemingly unaffected by the national war.

Changning Guard, Xinping Town.

Originally evolving day by day, after three decades of rapid development, Xinping Town had undergone a complete transformation.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe, being a transmigrator, had a vision for urban planning. Having planned earlier during the development of Xinping Town, although now increasingly bustling, it was still not cluttered.

Neat streets, broad roads, and people coming and going—including commoners—all appeared vigorous and hopeful about life.

The [Special Occupations Guild] was one among many new phenomena that appeared in Xinping Town over the past several decades.

This stemmed from Family Head Wang disliking the chaotic and unstructured current occupational system within Da Qian, also informed by his knowledge from East and West fantasy novels he read before his reincarnation, thus, he decided to straighten out the various sub-occupation systems.

Regardless of other places, anyone working in special occupations within Wang’s Jurisdiction and properties must undergo assessment by the [Special Occupations Guild] and acquire the respective level certification to employ legitimately.

The gap in status and income between different levels within the same occupation was substantial.

After decades of development, the related systems of the Special Occupations Guild had gradually matured, temporarily dividing into seven sub-occupations including “Spirit Plant Master,” “Alchemist,” “Artifact Refiner,” “Puppet Master,” “Array Master,” “Insect Master,” and “Beast Tamer.”

After this sorting, each occupation had formed its own hierarchical system and corresponding industry standards.

Currently, the chief in charge of the Special Occupations Guild was Wang Ning Yi, a direct descendant of the Wang family. He and Wang Ning Yao, both sons of Wang Anye and the two Commandery Princesses—no longer “Little”—had inherited their ancestors’ handsome looks and exceptional bloodline talents. Although they hadn’t reached the pinnacle of perfection, they were still considered outstanding among the Great Heavenly Proud. At just over fifty years old, Wang Ning Yi had already reached the Level Four of the Heavenly Human Realm; such speed in cultivation was considered quite prominent, even among the talent-rich Wang family.
