Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2202: Chapter 447: The Mystery of Liu Ruolan’s Origins (Part 2)

“Understood.” Wang Shouzhe frowned for a long while. Seeing that there was nothing more to add, he waved his hand and said, “I’m a bit tired now. Muyun, send him back.”

“Go back?” Si Wuyou was taken aback, “Go back where?”

Immortal Emperor Muyun sneered repeatedly: “Of course, back to the cell. Surely you don’t expect us to take you on a tour?”

“I won’t go back to the cell, I don’t want to go back.” Si Wuyou struggled, pathetically looking at Wang Shouzhe, “Young Master Shouzhe, I can run errands for you, whatever you want me to do, just don’t make me go back to the c–”

However, before he finished speaking, Immortal Emperor Muyun had already grabbed his collar and whisked him away instantly.

After they left.

Wang Shouzhe’s brows did not relax but furrowed even deeper.

This matter was indeed beyond his expectations. According to the information provided by Si Wuyou, he could almost confirm now that his wife Liu Ruolan was the reincarnation of the so-called [Xuanling Saintess].

But, back then, exactly which thief was she chasing?

Could it have been one of the ten most wanted criminals? Why did she linger in the Divine Martial World? Why did she ultimately fall, forced to transform into a Taoist embryo?

Moreover, it seemed there were also issues with that Primordial Taoist Palace. A generation of Saintess suddenly disappeared, yet they didn’t launch a large-scale search. Instead, they conducted a hasty investigation and then sealed off the news… Could it be, trouble caused by competing for the position of that Taozi?

Now, Ruolan’s background seemed to have a clue, yet things seemed more complicated all of a sudden.

The future must be approached with great caution.

For a moment, Wang Shouzhe’s brows were tightly knitted, and his thoughts drifted far and wide.

…

Around the same time.

At the borderland between West Jin, South Qin, and the Yinsha Sect, near the western seacoast, stood a gigantic shipyard quietly in the sunset.

From a distance, the arched roof of the shipyard looked like a series of rising mountain ridges, very spectacular.

Inside the shipyard, there was a massive rectangular pit, the bottom reinforced with specially made materials, extending all the way to the western coastline.

At the bottom of the pit, three colossal entities lay quietly, resembling primordial fierce beasts.

These colossal entities were none other than the Kunmu Giant Vessels under construction.

Huge frames were built at the bottom and around these giant vessels, fixing the entire structure in place.

After years of refining, the Kunmu Giant Vessels now had a general outline. The gigantic keel, towering decks, and bases for giant cannons at the foredeck were all clearly distinguishable, already showing the mighty grandeur of the Kunmu Giant Vessel.

At this moment, artifact refiners were busily flying up and down the frames, continuously transporting components for the vessels, installing and adjusting them, just like ants moving a house, gradually filling in the blanks on the vessels.

Against the enormous silhouette of the Kunmu Giant Vessel, these artifact refiners appeared exceptionally small, truly resembling busy worker ants.

As the artifact refiners busied themselves, an old man and a young child strolled slowly along the shipyard’s edge, inspecting the situation inside.

The old one had snow-white hair, with a cold and serious demeanor.

The young one, dressed in a red robe, only reached the old man’s chest in height, appearing exquisitely adorable, resembling a child of seven or eight years old.

Yet, between the two, it was the childlike figure leading, while the old one respectfully followed behind, which looked extremely peculiar.

These two were, of course, Demon Lord Xietong and the Great Elder Yin Fengtu of the Yinsha Sect, sent to assist him.

“After years of relentless effort by the artifact refiners, the main frame of the Kunmu Giant Vessels is basically complete. Once the instruments ordered from the Demonic Dynasty arrive, after installation and rounds of testing, we can prepare for launching tests.” Yin Fengtu reported the progress of the Kunmu Giant Vessel with utmost respect, with a hint of pride in his tone.

It’s known that these Kunmu Giant Vessels were originally planned to be completed and officially launched within thirty years.

The current speed is much faster than the original plan. This is a result of his effective supervision.

“Too slow.”

However, Demon Lord Xietong’s exquisitely chiseled face showed no sign of happiness, instead, it was slightly furrowed with a heavy expression.

Yin Fengtu’s expression stalled.

He glanced at Demon Lord Xietong, speaking uneasily: “Demon King, is there something I didn’t do well? I…”

“It’s nothing to do with you.”

Demon Lord Xietong shook his head, yet his expression remained heavy.

If it were according to the original plan, he would naturally be satisfied with this forging speed. However, the current situation has changed, with the Real Demon Palace’s influence plummeting, while East Qian Country’s national power is rising rapidly. They have even established a Demonic King Fortress outside the domain, initiating some [Great Outland Reclamation] project.

Although he finds the idea of outland reclamation quite absurd, he cannot deny that East Qian Country’s national power is indeed becoming increasingly stronger, and at a very alarming pace.

Emperor Yan Qing of West Jin has also gathered some news, indicating that East Qian Country intends to start a nationwide Qi Refinement campaign, aiming to turn East Qian into a country where even the common folk are cultivators of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, much like the Immortal Dynasty. It seems they’ve already begun implementing the plan.

This has gradually cast a shadow over his originally optimistic mindset.
