Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3102: Chapter 98: The Wang Family! A Model Among Prominent Families (Part 2)

As long as the four Great Commanders are not expelled, they will provide support with resources of equal value every five hundred years.

Although the leaders of the prominent families felt the pain of loss, in order for the Dongxia Divine Dynasty to withstand the onslaught of the Demonic Clan’s main forces, they had to contribute these resources. Otherwise, if the Dongxia Divine Dynasty collapses, it could drag everyone down with it.

None of them could afford to take such a risk.

Once the matter of resources was settled, the subsequent proceedings became straightforward.

Both sides quickly signed a series of support contracts, which outlined several additional terms and details, including a prohibition on the Dongxia Divine Dynasty from using scare tactics after receiving the funds.

And five hundred years later, if the Dongxia Divine Dynasty still faces the threat of the Demonic Clan, the four Sects are required to support them with resources of equal value again. Otherwise, the Dongxia Divine Dynasty has the right to issue a condemnation.

In fact, such agreements, which rely solely on moral and public opinion constraints, are not very effective, and the parties involved were merely going through the motions.

However, the four forces, being influential Daoist Master-level entities, still cared about their reputation. With the balance maintained among them, this contract might have unexpected effects at critical moments.

After placing the signed contract into a specially made wooden box and storing it in a storage ring, Wang Baoguang did not immediately take his leave.

He looked at the four leaders, smiling as he took out a neatly bound set of four copies of a plan: ”Esteemed seniors, I have a small plan here that is only beneficial to you.”

With the signing of the support contracts, the corresponding support materials began to arrive gradually, marking the fulfillment of Wang Baoguang’s main objective for his journey to the North Shu God Continent.

Meanwhile.

In the Dongxia Divine Dynasty.

Luojing.

The Dingyun Divine Palace, suspended high above the clouds, remained steadfast as always, oblivious to the clouds’ endless shifting below, as if it had been unchanged for eternity.

However, within the Divine Palace, with the relentless pressure from the four Great Commanders of the Demonic Clan, the previously orderly and peaceful atmosphere had long vanished.

The entire Dingyun Divine Palace was enveloped in a tense atmosphere that, even the most composed individuals would find themselves agitated under such conditions.

At this moment.

Inside the Provincy Office.

A large gathering of civil and military ministers were assembled below the imperial steps, reporting the situation.

The Cangping God Emperor, clad in his imperial attire, sat as usual behind his grand desk made of Level Seventeen divine wood.

The lines on his face seemed to have increased, but his gaze had grown more steady and profound, and even the aura around him seemed more imposing and authoritative than before.

The enormous crisis, endless daily affairs, and the ever-changing situation, while exhausting him, also drove his rapid growth.

In recent years, under the immense pressure from the four Great Commanders of the Demonic Clan, the Dongxia Divine Dynasty seemed to have accelerated, with everything happening at a swift pace.

During this time, the official Dongxia Divine Dynasty, after careful deliberation, has introduced numerous new policies. Whether it be resources, funding, or talent cultivation, all began to shift toward a war-oriented direction.

Currently, the divine dynasty’s strategy against the Demonic Clan is primarily focused on ”negotiation and ceasefire,” but until strategic goals are truly achieved, the frontline war continues.

Despite Ji Marshal’s efforts to resist and having won several brilliant skirmishes without an advantage in strength, they were still unable to turn the tide completely, with the overall defensive line retreating repeatedly.

”Your Majesty, the Zishuang Sacred Dynasty is passively resisting the mobilization order, with low completion rates for various task indicators, showing signs of token compliance,” a minister reported seriously, ”The details are written in the memorial. I ask Your Majesty to issue a reprimand, urging them to mend their ways.”

Such situations are not uncommon, as in times of great peril, human nature becomes unpredictable.

The Cangping God Emperor had anticipated such occurrences, yet as he reviewed the documented incidents in the memorial, he found his anger rising despite himself.

”If a reprimand were effective, what need would there be for me?” he snorted coldly, slamming the memorial down on the table, ”Draft a decree for me: Emperor Zishuang disregards the sacred order, endangering the divine dynasty’s safety. Command the Forbidden Army to immediately arrest Emperor Zishuang and send him directly into the Cycle River. Seize all his direct line and send them to the Cannon Fodder Camp on the front line.”

Following these words, the faces of many ministers in the Provincy Office changed drastically.

His Majesty intends to make an example of them～

”Your Majesty, this must not be done～” some ministers could no longer sit still and immediately voiced their opposition, ”The Zishuang Sacred Dynasty is our sovereign state, and such actions by Your Majesty may cause alarm among all the sacred dynasties.”

”Heh, can an egg remain intact under a toppled nest?” Cangping God Emperor swept his gaze across the ministers below the royal steps, his eyes deep and sharp, exuding unparalleled dominance, ”In this crisis of extermination, anyone who dares oppose me, I will pause the battle against the Demonic Clan to quell internal strife first.”

”Anyone who speaks for Emperor Zishuang will accompany him to the Cycle River.”

As his voice fell, a domineering murderous aura surged from him, enveloping the entire Provincy Office.

The ministers’ expressions subtly shifted, and they fell quiet, not daring to speak casually.

They silently lit a candle in their hearts for Emperor Zishuang.
