Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2510: Chapter 54: Shou Zhe Bloodline Advancement! Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme_3

This little girl is hiding really deep~~ she’s already planning to stab me in the back so soon.

“Since she is unkind and unjust, I can’t be blamed for this.” Prince Wen Yu’s eyes were cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, “If she wants to compete with me for the position of Saint Emperor, she’s still a bit too inexperienced.”

***

The news of Lu Qiu Qingyang being conferred the title of “Princess Qingyang” in the Sacred City hasn’t spread yet, but it can be imagined that when the news is officially announced, it will definitely trigger a storm of changes, and it’s possible that the entire Tianrui Sacred Dynasty’s situation will change because of it.

Of course, these are all later stories and are not to be mentioned for now.

While changes were happening in Tianrui Holy City, the culprit who caused all this, Wang Shouzhe, finally arrived outside the Immortal Cave Mansion Relic that sparked the dispute, aboard the Heaven Void Cloud Boat.

This location, even on the Tianrui Outer Sea, was extremely secluded. Due to the lack of valuable resources around it, few cultivators came here.

But at this moment, it was exceptionally lively.

This Immortal Cave Mansion was originally buried under the sea, very hidden. Now, it had been moved to the sea surface by the collaborative efforts of the two Sacred Supremes, the Tianrui Shen Family and the Tianxing Gui Family.

Even though it was now above the surface, the exterior of the Immortal Cave Mansion still looked like a barren little broken island.

Under the long-term standoff between the two Sacred Races, several flying boats had gathered on each side, and in the distance, two small floating fortresses were clearly visible, one on each side, with a very obvious stance of confrontation.

It was obvious that both Sacred Races were determined to obtain this Immortal Cave Mansion.

In their eyes, the Tianxing Wu Family and the Heavenly Rui Jiang’s were just there for show; the champion of this quad competition would inevitably be among the two of them.

Therefore, even the arrival of Wang Shouzhe, Immortal Monarch Haoran, and Jiang Mu Xian didn’t attract much attention from the two Sacred Races.

The Heaven Void Cloud Boat quietly hovered not far from the little broken island, and the few people on board didn’t disembark, ready to wait for the start of the quad competition from the boat.

However, while others didn’t recognize Wang Shouzhe’s Heaven Void Cloud Boat, there were people who did.

“Brother Shouzhe.”

Shortly after the Heaven Void Cloud Boat stopped, a gracefully swaying figure in a green robe and another charming silhouette appeared outside the boat almost simultaneously.

It was Saint Qingyuan and Saintess Water Moon visiting together.

Wang Shouzhe immediately welcomed them into the central lounge of the Cloud Boat, ordered some Spirit Fruits to be served, and personally made Immortal Tea to entertain them.

“I didn’t expect both of Your Highnesses to be here.”

“Alas~” Saint Qingyuan sighed with a complex expression, “This Immortal Cave Mansion Relic caused such a stir, how could we, Cloud Sea Heavenly Abode and Water Moon Heavenly Abode, as locally transcendent powers, remain entirely uninvolved?”

“Fortunately, Saint Respect Cloud Peng arrived in time, and with his mediation, the Si and Gui families reluctantly agreed to sit down and talk and negotiated a solution that both sides could accept, preventing further escalation of the conflict.”

Mentioning the plan, Saint Qingyuan glanced apologetically at Immortal Monarch Haoran and Jiang Mu Xian.

Evidently, the plan wasn’t in Jiang’s favor.

He and Saintess Water Moon were invited here as representatives of Cloud Sea Heavenly Abode and Water Moon Heavenly Abode, overseeing and witnessing the “fairness” of the quad competition.

After all, compared to the Tianxing Sacred Dynasty and Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, they, as neutral powers, were undoubtedly more impartial, and judgments made by them would be more convincing.

But everyone knew what kind of nature this competition was.

Saint Qingyuan didn’t expect Jiang Mu Xian from Jiang’s family to win the quad competition.

“Hahaha~” Immortal Monarch Haoran didn’t mind, and laughed, “Our Jiang’s family is grateful enough to have a chance to participate in the quad competition, thanks to the support of each Heavenly Abode. As long as there’s no underhandedness during the competition, our Jiang’s will have no complaints.”

“Rest assured, Elder Jiang.” Upon hearing this, Saint Qingyuan’s expression immediately became serious, “With the rules already drafted, if anyone dares to cheat, our Cloud Sea Heavenly Abode will never stand by. Water Moon, what do you think?”

Saintess Water Moon, who had been silently drinking Immortal Tea, slightly raised her head and said two words: “That’s right.”

The calm and peaceful demeanor made her look like an old monk in deep meditation.

“?”

Saint Qingyuan glanced sideways slightly.

What happened to Water Moon today? She was so quiet, totally unlike her usual rowdy and unrestrained self.

He couldn’t help but scrutinize Saintess Water Moon again.

Today she was wearing a colorful feathered dress, sitting upright, her expression aloof, with an ethereal and otherworldly demeanor, presenting the perfect image of a Heavenly Abode Saintess.

He was familiar with this stance; Water Moon Saintess usually acted like this when putting on airs in front of unfamiliar people.

Logically, she had also met Brother Shouzhe before, and Brother Shouzhe had seen her rowdy side, so there shouldn’t have been such an unfamiliar distance.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Saint Qingyuan racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out what had transpired between Saintess Water Moon and Wang Shouzhe.

It was a tragic story of the “Saintess of Five Poisons” falling deeply into debt, eventually being forced to “sell herself” to a capitalist as a worker.

And in order to uphold the reputation of Water Moon Heavenly Abode and protect Wang Shouzhe’s secret, in public, Saintess Water Moon had to pretend not to be very familiar with him, reluctant to talk much and risk revealing anything, making her deeply uncomfortable.

They were chatting when suddenly —

A hearty yet authoritative voice effortlessly pierced through the Heaven Void Cloud Boat and transmitted inside without any hindrance: “Qingyuan lad, don’t think hiding at your friend’s place makes you untraceable.”

Even though the Heaven Void Cloud Boat hadn’t activated its protective shield or any Isolation Array Method, the material of the Heaven Void Cloud Boat itself had strong interference effects on God Sense, so even a True Immortal Realm cultivator might not clearly sense the situation inside the boat.

To penetrate God Sense so easily revealed the incredible strength of the visitor.

“Saint Respect Cloud Peng!” Saint Qingyuan’s expression immediately turned bitter, muttering helplessly, “He’s really relentless like a persistent ghost~”

Saint Respect Cloud Peng?

Wang Shouzhe’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Is this the Saint who came all the way from Primordial Taoist Palace to manage affairs?

“Friends of Qingyuan lad, would you be open to letting an old fellow like myself join for a cup of tea?” the smiling voice of Saint Respect Cloud Peng once again infiltrated from outside the Heaven Void Cloud Boat.

Since a Sacred Supreme had spoken, refusal was not an option.

Wang Shouzhe glanced at Saint Qingyuan, and seeing no objection, he laughed aloud, “So it is the renowned Saint Respect Cloud Peng. I apologize for the oversight, and will come out to welcome you now.”

“Haha~ Don’t bother coming out to greet. This old man will enter by myself.” Saint Respect Cloud Peng laughed jovially, teleporting to the entrance of the Heaven Void Cloud Boat and striding inside.

Saint Qingyuan suddenly recalled something, and quickly transmitted his voice to Wang Shouzhe: “Brother, although Saint Respect Cloud Peng has a good temperament, remember not to mention you’re the Fourth Uncle of Lici, just pretend not to know Lici. Remember, remember!”

Wang Shouzhe’s expression froze, and his eyes showed a hint of quirkiness.

Uh… Could this Saint Respect Cloud Peng also be another victim of Lici?

Recalling his last visit to Cloud Sea Heavenly Abode, Saint Qingyuan indeed mentioned that Lici and her master went to Primordial Taoist Palace. Could it be…

While pondering, the figure of Saint Respect Cloud Peng had already landed in front of the group through the corridor.

He appeared to be in his forties, possessing an impressive and majestic presence, and his wide robe fitted him impeccably, exuding a sense of grandeur instead of loftiness.

He disdainfully glared at Saint Qingyuan: “Are you whispering to badmouth me? You’re itching for a beating, aren’t you?”

“Of course not~” Saint Qingyuan quickly coughed to clear his throat, putting on a flattering smile to please, “Venerable One, I was just introducing Brother Shouzhe to your legendary achievements, saying how you are kind and generous.”

Although his mouth was filled with flattering words, inside, a million thoughts raced through his mind.

Cloud Peng, you old cad, you suffered a big loss with my master and Lici, yet you don’t go after them to seek recompense, but instead fixate on this Saint Qingyuan out of spite?

Your behavior reeks of bullying the weak, you know!
