Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2862: Chapter 33: That’s My Direct Line Old Ancestor Grandma! The Price Must Go Up

If this sword tower has thirteen or fourteen levels, it might not even be able to stop the Old Ancestor.

The Sword Palace Artifact Spirit was utterly stunned, and couldn’t help but mutter: ”Our Zhenze Sword Palace is going to rise~ With such Sword Dao talents, if the Heavenly Demonic Sword Emperor saw Wang Longyan, wouldn’t he be begging to take her as his disciple?”

What the Artifact Spirit didn’t know was that Old Ancestor Longyan had already obtained the Shura Demon Lord’s crystal core several hundred years ago. After absorbing the energy within the demon core, she gained a great deal of benefits, and for these years she had been diligently comprehending the laws within the demon core.

Her innate talent for comprehension was good, and even though she hadn’t successfully comprehended the Sacred Image these years, she had already grasped seventy-eight percent of it.

Now she was just one step away from comprehending the Sacred Image, and naturally, her strength was not in the same league as Wang Liyao and the others.

Fortunately, Wang Longyan had no interest in dealing with the Sword Palace Artifact Spirit.

To prevent dreams from dragging on for too long, she took everyone out of the sword tower and went straight to the Sword Palace warehouse to spend all the points, not only exchanging for the Yaoguang Sword Saint Diagram but also taking seven volumes of Immortal Sword Scripture.

Anyway, it wasn’t stated that whoever exchanged them could only use them themselves, so she just exchanged them first.

As for the rest, they continued to challenge the Heavenly Sword Tower.

Meanwhile, while the Wang family was enthusiastically exploiting Zhenze Sword Palace.

Sacred Domain, Eastern Dawn God Continent.

Primordial Taoist Palace.

The Taoist Master Taichu had a fight with the Nirvana Buddha Master True Body of West Ruoshenzhou years ago. Although he taught the other a lesson, he himself suffered some minor injuries. Of course, the Nirvana Buddha got hurt worse than he did.

Considering that his injuries were not severe, the Taoist Master Taichu didn’t want to waste the scarce Life-and-Death Taoist Pills and opted to retreat for healing.

However, with many affairs to handle in the Dao Palace, he couldn’t completely isolate himself for cultivation, so over the centuries, he occasionally retreated for some healing before emerging to handle Dao Palace matters, repeating this cycle.

In doing so, the healing progress naturally wasn’t great, but thankfully his injuries weren’t severe, and even with such slow progress, his injuries were almost half healed.

After all, at his age, his cultivation base was long stagnant, not like young people who need to race against time for cultivation upgrades. Life-and-Death Taoist Pills were hard to craft, so it’s better to save them whenever possible.

On this day.

The Taoist Master Taichu emerged after another session of healing.

After roughly dealing with decades’ worth of accumulated Dao Palace affairs, he casually picked up the Truth magazine sent by the palace disciples and started flipping through it.

Although the magazine wasn’t very nutritious and frequently gossiped about his beloved disciple, it was quite useful for some relaxation.

However, as he read on, his facial expression suddenly became serious.

The latest issue of the Truth, others might not perceive its profundity, but he was able to notice something amiss within.

Immediately, he summoned Wang Baoguang.

”Disciple Wang Baoguang, pays respects to the Taoist Master.”

In front of the Taoist Master, Wang Baoguang appeared exceptionally sincere.

The Taoist Master Taichu glanced at Wang Baoguang, noticing that somehow Wang Baoguang’s storage ring had been upgraded to a Sacred Artifact level.

His eye twitched: ”You little rascal, you’ve made quite a fortune lately~”

”Small business, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning,” Wang Baoguang chuckled slyly, shamelessly flattering, ”Compared to the Taoist Master’s wealth, I’m far behind.”

”Looks like you’ve got a knack for making money, how about I let you steward the Dao Palace legacy?” The Taoist Master Taichu looked at him, enigmatically remarked.

Wang Baoguang’s eyes lit up, immediately riding the snake along the stick: ”Really? Yes, yes, yes, I Wang Baoguang will not disappoint Master’s trust, and will definitely manage the Dao Palace...”

”Get rolling, the farther the better!” The Taoist Master Taichu cursed furiously, ”Since you came to the Dao Palace, the whole atmosphere of Yunpeng Sacred Island has been corrupted by you, now even Old Cloud Peng is following your lead into the obsession with money. At this rate, the entire Dao Palace is in a state of anxiety, if I really put you in charge of the Dao Palace, I’m sure you’d tear the sky apart.”

Wang Baoguang was scolded into silence, feeling quite helpless inside.

If you weren’t planning to hand over the Dao Palace to me, then why go on rambling? Just trying to amuse me~

After the reprimand, the Taoist Master Taichu calmed down a bit, and recalled business matters.

He picked up the Truth magazine and said: ”Rascal, are these reports of yours accurate and true?”

”Taoist Master, you’re slandering our brand here.” Wang Baoguang protested righteously, ”You can insult my character, but you can’t doubt the integrity of the Truth.”

”Fine, then let me ask you.” The Taoist Master Taichu’s expression suddenly became serious, ”The woman you’ve written about under the pseudonym ’Ruoling,’ who is supposedly the wife of your Old Ancestor Wang Shouzhe, she possesses the Sacred Image and Sacred Artifact, also has a body full of pure Primordial Water Mysterious Energy, capable of cooperating with a Sacred Supreme to thoroughly defeat the Ninth Heaven Sacred Supreme, is this true?”

The Truth magazine described this battle somewhat vaguely, skimming over details like Wang Shouzhe’s mysterious wife’s Sacred Image type and what the Sacred Artifact was, but the Taoist Master Taichu still sensed something unusual.

”My Old Ancestor Grandma doesn’t like public exposure, thus some unnecessary descriptions were omitted. However, my Old Ancestor Grandma indeed possesses an incredibly pure Primordial Water Bloodline.” Wang Baoguang honestly replied.

You should know, he feared not Grandpa Old Ancestor Wang Shouzhe but Grandma Old Ancestor the most. He dared to liberally write Grandpa Old Ancestor’s gossip, at worst get beaten later, but Grandma Old Ancestor’s information he wrote only after seeking her permission.

That’s the reason this information was vague, though the content was certainly true.

Receiving confirmation, the Taoist Master Taichu felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He inhaled deeply, managing to suppress his emotions, said in a deep tone: ”You claimed to have visual evidence, bring the footage for this seat to inspect.”

”I can’t do that, she is my Old Ancestor Grandma after all.” Wang Baoguang abruptly became very serious, ”Taoist Master, even if you kill me, I won’t give it.”

”Five Chaos Spirit Stones.” The Taoist Master Taichu attempted to bribe.

”Taoist Master, you’re insulting me Wang Baoguang aren’t you? She is my direct line Old Ancestor Grandma!” Furious, Wang Baoguang widened his eyes, voice raised in indignation, ”Twenty Chaos Spirit Stones, not a single one less, or no viewing!”

Poof!

The Taoist Master Taichu almost spit out old blood.
