Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3042: Chapter 82: Taoist Master Boards the Pirate Ship! (Part 3)

This mysterious woman is, of course, the Wang family’s Old Ancestor Longyan.

Ever since she consumed the Primary Ice Dao Pill refined by Taoist Master Taichu, her bloodline elevated to the rank of Transcendent Void Realm Tao Girl, and shortly thereafter, she broke through to the True Immortal Realm, becoming the first member of the Changning Wang Clan to ascend to True Immortal.

When she reached True Immortal, the family gave her the long-prepared corpse of the Asura Demon Master, along with a large quantity of extremely precious Heaven and Earth Treasures for refining the corpse.

She spent a lot of effort and time before finally refining the corpse of the Asura Demon Master into a puppet.

Having concluded the main business, Old Ancestor Longyan prepared to leave.

”Wait!” Sacred Supreme Ziguang called out to her, ”What about my apprentices and disciples?”

”Rest assured, Senior Ziguang, they are all in a safe place.” Old Ancestor Longyan said calmly.

Rest assured? I’m as assured as a ghost!

Sacred Supreme Ziguang was already filled with curses, yet he couldn’t erupt.

Firstly, the puppet of the Demon Master behind this mysterious woman was formidable. If a fight broke out, the outcome would be uncertain. Secondly, he was concerned for his apprentices and the accompanying True Immortal Elders.

If he dared to act recklessly, what would happen to his apprentices and the accompanying True Immortal Elders?

”After the matter is settled, will you kill to silence?” Sacred Supreme Ziguang glanced complicatedly at the Sacred Artifact-level storage ring still in his hand.

”Why would Senior say such a thing? Is there some misunderstanding?” Old Ancestor Longyan turned her head to look at him, her eyes puzzled.

When her gaze touched the puppet beside her, she suddenly understood and casually explained: ”Senior need not be nervous, actually, we are righteous cultivators.”

Having said this, she did not care whether Sacred Supreme Ziguang believed her, but directly took the puppet of the Asura Demon Master and gracefully left.

This demeanor left Sacred Supreme Ziguang utterly dumbfounded.

Righteous cultivators?

With your whole body full of demonic qi, a puppet trailing behind you, you tell me you’re a righteous cultivator?

Sacred Supreme Ziguang’s lips trembled, countless complaints ready to spill out, but being on someone else’s territory, he opened his mouth several times yet ultimately held them back.

Though unsure what’s wrong with this group of people, after extensive hesitation, he finally decided to remain inactive for the time being.

For no other reason than the fact that they left behind his storage ring.

Meanwhile, as Sacred Supreme Ziguang questioned life, the Purple Radiance Flying Boat had already departed Thousands of Cities, entering the turbulent Tianhe, speeding toward the Black Market located in Unbounded City.

Inside the flying boat.

The room remained the same, resources were still those resources, even the arrangement of the furnishings in the room hadn’t changed.

Nothing changed, only the people did.

donning the Purple Radiance robe, looking almost identical to Sacred Supreme Ziguang, Taoist Master Taichu was dissatisfied, constantly grumbling to Wang Shouzhe: ”Wang Shouzhe, my lifetime reputation has been ruined by you. An ambush! An ambush on a Sacred Supreme of a righteous sect! How could I be so muddled, seduced by you? My lifetime reputation~~~”

Opposite him, Wang Shouzhe had already changed into Haiyang Senior Brother’s robe, disguised as a disciple of the Purple Cloud Taoist Sect.

Yet, with no outsiders in sight, he didn’t bother acting, remaining calm as the Taoist Master continued to grumble. ”Senior Hongzhen, it’s not too late for us to stop now. Why not let your true self attend the Black Market?”

”Don’t joke.” Taoist Master Taichu looked at him with irritation, ”If I appear at the Unbounded City Black Market as my true self, I can guarantee The Blissful Master will definitely lead the crowd to kill me instantly, then you and Ruolan would be implicated, and that wouldn’t be good.”

The matters concerning Xuantian and Purple Luanbird occurred just two thousand years ago.

Two thousand years might indeed seem long for average cultivators, but for beings like him and The Blissful Master, it’s merely a slightly longer retreat, far from enough to dissolve the animosity between them.

Moreover, despite limited interactions with The Blissful Master, he knew he was definitely not someone willing to suffer losses.

If he were alone, that would be one thing, but with Wang Shouzhe and Ruolan present, he truly dared not take risks.

”Senior Hongzhen, rest assured, we will apologize and offer appropriate compensation to Sacred Supreme Ziguang afterward.” Wang Shouzhe casually handed the Taoist Master a cup of tea as he continued, ”Didn’t Senior Ziguang want to buy a Taoist Yuan Pill for his apprentice? Once we gather the materials and successfully refine it, how about selling him one at a low price?”

”Since it has come to this, there’s no other choice, pity my lifetime reputation as a Taoist Master, I ended up on your rogue ship.” Taoist Master Taichu sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

Actually, he knew that disguising identities was imperative. And sneaking in to replace Sacred Supreme Ziguang so covertly indeed had many benefits.

However, esteemed as a Taoist Master, secretly ambushing a Sacred Supreme, in his heart, it was truly...

Suddenly.

His gaze paused, his expression abruptly becoming suspicious: ”By the way, you passed by many flying boats, why insist on robbing the Purple Cloud Taoist Sect’s flying boat from North Shu God Continent? Did the Purple Cloud Taoist Sect offend you somehow!? Despite being a righteous sect of North Shu God Continent, with considerable ties to the Primordial Taoist Palace, you showed them no respect.”

He remembered well the decisiveness and swiftness with which Wang Shouzhe selected the Purple Cloud Flying Ship. It didn’t seem random, but rather premeditated.
