Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2100: Chapter 220: The Rise of the Wang Family Is No Fluke (Part 2)

“Irrelevant? Aren’t those two Divine Power Territory puppets yours from the Duobao Pavilion? And you didn’t step out to stop or save us at the crucial moment either.” Wang Fugui said coldly, “I have every reason to suspect that this is the action of your Duobao Pavilion itself. Of course, I’m not inclined to argue with an Artifact Spirit about these matters; I’ll wait for the Pavilion Master of your Immortal Dynasty headquarters to explain.”

Indeed, the force behind the Duobao Pavilion is still very strong, with Elder Tian Ji as backing.

But no matter how strong, can it surpass the Immortal Dynasty and the Demonic Dynasty?

“This… this… it can’t be blamed on me. Madam Shuanghua, as the shopkeeper, has authority above me…” The Treasure Vault Artifact Spirit said with a little grievance, knowing that a few words of defense could not resolve the issue. In the end, it could only resign helplessly, “I can only report what happened truthfully to the Pavilion Master and let them decide.”

As he spoke, Wang Fugui had already picked up one treasure after another, sending them into his seemingly insatiable Dao-grade Storage Ring.

There were quite a few valuable items in the Treasure Vault, and although the most valuable were those few introduced before as the treasures of the store, the remaining ones were also not inexpensive good items that could be used to enrich the family’s heritage.

Wang Fugui joyfully picked them up.

While the Treasure Vault Artifact Spirit could only watch eagerly at all this, unable even to refuse.

Just as Wang Fugui was pillaging the treasures of the Duobao Pavilion branch, Su Ya, the Demon Envoy, had already passed through the secret passage, reaching a secret exit over ten miles away.

“Damn Wang Fugui.” As she emerged from the passage exit, Su Ya cursed, “Made me capsize in a ditch, not only exposing my identity for nothing, but also having to go deal with those filthy guys from the Demonic Clan.”

Her appearance was rather disheveled, the previously elegant long dress now all wrinkled, with black ash smudging her hem and shoes, looking utterly different from her earlier bright and clean self.

No choice, although there was a secret passage set in the Treasure Vault of the Duobao Pavilion, it hadn’t been used for who knows how many years. To keep it secret, it was designed to be extremely narrow, without any dust-proof Formation inside. Over the years, a thick layer of dust had accumulated.

She traversed through it in haste, without minding too much since she feared that leaking Mysterious Energy fluctuations might expose her whereabouts, so she didn’t dare to use any Escape Skill. Cleanliness was out of the question.

However, despite the wretchedness, once out of the passage, her mind relaxed.

As a strong cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Advanced Stage of the Divine Power Territory, over the years, Su Ya had countless fake identities both within the Human race and on the Demonic Clan side. As long as she survived today, she’d have plenty of ways to hide her tracks again, making it impossible for the Immortal Dynasty to find her.

After the situation calmed down, she could move again anytime.

Su Ya’s mind surged with thoughts, even having decided which fake identity to use this time.

But, not too far into her escape, she was stopped by a veiled woman in yellow.

This woman, wearing a simple light yellow long dress, at first glance resembled what Su Ya was wearing, but her entire aura was completely different.

Her long flaming red hair and those signature golden snake eyes exuded an enchanting beauty that was not seductive yet not menacing, but rather subtly conveyed an aura of dominance and nobility.

Seeing Su Ya, the woman sighed lightly, “Sister Su Ya, why put yourself through this?”

“Shadow Serpent!” Su Ya, the Demon Envoy, saw her and was immediately terrified, unable to stop herself from screaming, “What are you doing here?”

Indeed, this woman was none other than the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, one of the twenty-seven Demon Kings of the former Real Demon Palace.

Previously, due to some complex reasons, she was compelled to join the Wang family, reclaiming her real name, Ji Yueer.

Though initially done unwillingly, over the years, the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess and her descendants had gradually adapted to the Wang family, so much so that by now, they couldn’t part from this warm, big family anymore.

“Alas~” Ji Yueer sighed and said, “During the earlier inspection of Young Master Ming Shura’s body with Young Master Fugui, you were one of my primary suspects. Sister Su Ya, you and I have fought for so many years; perhaps no one in the world knows you better than I do.”

“And you indeed did not disappoint Young Master Fugui’s expectations, choosing to escape through the Duobao Pavilion secret passage.”

Looking at Su Ya, Ji Yueer’s expression was indifferent, the emotions in her eyes complex and hard to discern: “Don’t think that only people from Duobao Pavilion know about this secret passage; in fact, in a base guarded by the Human race like Xiansan No. 3 Base, any secret passage must have its construction blueprint submitted to the base for filing, or once found out, it would be a crime against the Human race. Duobao Pavilion may have backing, but they don’t dare to take such great risks secretly digging passages.”

“Young Master Fugui had already fetched the building blueprint of the Duobao Pavilion from the command archives, determining the position of the secret passage exit and sent me to guard here. Even if Young Master Fugui miscalculated and you didn’t use the secret passage, you still carried the scent of the perfume Princess Chuan Nan used today, and we could track you quickly. After all, I know all the methods you do.”

Su Ya, the Demon Envoy, was stunned.

She initially thought that her loss to Wang Fugui was merely due to her momentary carelessness, never realizing that every step she took was actually within Wang Fugui’s calculations.
