Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 425: Chapter 100 Advantages of Being Lenient with the Enemy_1

…

How many times now?

Huangfu Jinhuan could barely recall the number of times he had suffered in the hands of Wang Shouzhe.

Now, every time this name was mentioned, shadows filled his heart, making him feel as if his years were wasted in the life of a dog, pushing him into a state of self-seclusion.

This time, after racking his brains and doing an extensive preparation, and even staking a large part of his family fortune, he dispatched the family elders who, after traveling thousands of miles, desperately pleaded with the Huangfu Clan in the southern desert, and finally procured two Red Fire Dragon Scales.

As a result, their relationship with the southern desert Huangfu Clan has now been nearly exhausted.

All his efforts were just to deal with the enemy with full leniency and increase his chances of winning.

The Huangfu Clan of Changning, in reality, could not afford to lose again.

And the eventual result turned out as he had wished. The resourceful prince finally met his match at Huangfu Jinhuan’s hands.

This indeed restored much of Huangfu Jinhuan’s confidence.

Who would have thought that at his moment of triumph, Wang Shouzhe, like a bad dream, would appear again?

With a pale face, Huangfu Jinhuan asked in a trembling voice, “Why? Why are you here?”

Why won’t this youngster scatter his soul and disappear?

Master Jinhuan, your manner of speaking is a bit over the top~” Wang Shouzhe, with a faint smile on his face, calmly retorted, “The Blood Nest Base is not opened by your family, for me to explore these ruins, I don’t need to report to you, right?”

Having said that,

His gaze fell on the sorry figure of the prince, and a trace of mockery appeared on his face: “Unexpectedly, the direct disciple of the distinguished Yinsha Sect, ended up in such a pitiful state. It’s indeed lamentable. I will be taking your head.”

“You!”

The prince was so angry that his blood churned up within his chest and he couldn’t help but turn pale, once again spurting out a mouthful of blood.

It was indeed the case of a fallen tiger being bullied by a dog!

As the direct disciple of the prestigious Yinsha Sect, not only was he insulted by the Huangfu Clan, but he was also being humiliated by a passer-by who sprang out of nowhere. Absolutely outrageous!

“Wang Shouzhe!” Huangfu Jinhuan was so enraged that his whole body was trembling. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you want to pluck peaches, you should first look if you have the capability! We have two Tianren Realm old ancestors here. Even if you bring along Xu Beichen and Wang Zhubo, you will never benefit from it!”

“Initially, I thought you had learned to be smarter, but you are still as foolish as ever.” Wang Shouzhe glanced at him and couldn’t help but sigh after hearing his words: “You really don’t think, knowing my temperament, would I appear at this time if I didn’t hold a trump card that ensures victory?”

As his voice dropped, his allies started to trickle in one after another.

Firstly, it was his own people from the Ping’an Wang Family. Since this journey was extremely perilous, Wang Shouzhe didn’t let those with insufficient combat power participate.

Therefore, from the Ping’an Wang Family, only the Old Ancestor Longyan, along with the senior female member Liu Ruolan and Wang Shouzhe, totaling three people, came.

Then came the Old Ancestor Beichen from the Changning Xu Family, followed by Old Ancestor Xiangyang from the Hundred Islands Zhong Family.

The appearance of these two people changed the expressions of the Old Dog Huaye and the Old Ancestor Yuanwu.

The Xu Family’s Xu Beichen is a popular figure in several guard cities lately.

The fame of any new Tianren realm cultivator will quickly spread throughout several nearby guard cities.

However, such a new cultivator of the Tianren realm is still okay, as his newly promoted strength must be weak and probably does not even have a magical treasure, or has no time to cultivate a magical treasure!

But, the old cultivator of the Hundred Islands Zhong Family, Zhong Xiangyang, was different.

This is a celebrated veteran of the Tianren realm. His unfathomable strength, and the fact that he runs a black market for his family, left everyone guessing about how many cards he holds in his hand.

They say that with age comes cunning. If an old cultivator of the Tianren realm like Old Ancestor Xiangyang didn’t have some certainty, it would be difficult to get him to lend a hand.

Sure enough.

Following them, two more people leisurely walked in.

One of them was a woman who looked very young, who was looking around curiously. The other was one who made Huangfu Jinhuan and Old Dog Huaye gasp.

“Fang Youan!”

That one was indeed the Direct Disciple from the Purple Abode Academic Palace, Fang Youan.

How could such a person be in Wang Shouzhe’s team?

Especially, Huangfu Jinhuan’s mind was buzzing. The Direct Disciple from the Academic Palace, Wang Shouzhe actually brought the Direct Disciple from the Academic Palace.

How powerful is the Direct Disciple of the Academic Palace?

Looking at Yin Yuzhe, the prince from the Yinsha Sect, it was clear as they were on the same level.

As soon as Fang Youan appeared, his eyes were immediately fixed on the prince, and his face subtly changed: “It’s actually you, Yin Yuzhe!”

Until now.

The name of the mysterious son of the Yinsha Sect was finally revealed.

Yin Yuzhe strained to lift his head to look at Fang Youan, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. He coughed: “Fang Youan, we parted ways on the battlefield beyond the domain ten years ago. I never expected our reunion to be under such circumstances.”

Battlefield beyond the domain?

Wang Shouzhe slightly narrowed his eyes. That single phrase from Yin Yuzhe did allow much inference. He laughed, “Brother Youan, could this be your old friend?”

“Indeed.” A strong killing intent appeared in Fang Youan’s eyes, “This Yin Yuzhe is one of the Sky Prides of the Yinsha Sect. We ‘fortuitously’ met on the battlefield once, and I have quite the vivid impression of him.”

“The feeling is mutual.” Yin Yuzhe sneered in reply, “You, Fang Youan, likewise have quite a reputation, having killed many of our people. It’s a pity that my state today is not ideal, otherwise, I would have loved to witness the Deux Ex Machina of your Frost Sword.”

The two of them conversed eloquently, capturing the demeanor of true direct disciples. As Sky Prides, they observed all others from a perspective of superiority.

Only those of their kind, even if they were antagonistic, could make them face each other equally.

Perhaps, this is the pride of the Sky’s Pride.

“Yin Yuzhe.” Fang Youan adopted a solemn tone, “You’ve killed countless people on the battlefield beyond the domain and dared to stir up trouble in my Da Qian. It’s time to leave your life behind.”

“Hmph!”

An intense sternness emerged from Yin Yuzhe’s narrow eyes, “Consider yourself unlucky! I was hoping to retaliate with this move when the old dog Huaye made his move. Who would have thought, the mantis stalks the cicada, but a yellow oriole lurks behind…Having you die together with me is worth it!”

“What?”

Fang Youan’s face changed slightly.

Immediately, the scene became chaotic. Seeing Yin Yuzhe’s eyes flash sharply, revealing a merciless and resolute look, a blood sphere appeared in his hand, which he detonated.

In the blink of an eye, the slumbering Wedding Blood Gu Emperor within the blood sphere was startled. It bit Yin Yuzhe’s arm and instantly drilled into his blood vessels.

“Ahh!”

Accompanied by a painful scream, a terrible energy erupted from Yin Yuzhe’s body that caused the air to shake violently.

“This… Yin Yuzhe, you have some nerve.” Fang Youan exclaimed, his expression changing greatly, “In your current state, using the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor guarantees demonic possession.”

Fang Youan, as a direct disciple of the Academic Palace, understood the danger of this object quite well. Even they, as direct disciples, had to weigh the pros and cons carefully before using such a domineering object like Wedding Blood Gu Emperor, even if their state was optimal.

Despite the outstanding efficacy of this object, it was indeed too dangerous.

There had been several instances of direct disciples failing to control the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor and ending up being controlled by it instead.

“Controlled by the devil?” A fiery red light burst out of Yin Yuzhe’s eyes, his veins and muscles were constantly distorting. With a fraction of his sanity left, he laughed maniacally, “Rather than being slaughtered like pigs and sheep by you, I would choose to strike out, taking you all with me.”

The old Ancestors, Huaye and Yuan Wu, were both veritable cunning old foxes. Seeing that things were turning sour, they quickly retreated from the scene, the farther from the enraged Yin Yuzhe, the better.

They both could not help but wipe the cold sweat off their brows. It was fortunate that they did not get a chance to make a move, otherwise, they would likely have been counterattacked by Yin Yuzhe. Although they knew about the prowess of the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor, they did not anticipate it could be used in such a way. They had limited knowledge after all and were nearly tricked.

“Junior Brother Shouzhe!” Fang Youan’s expression became extremely serious, “This is a big problem, once Yin Yuzhe is controlled by the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor, he will become extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, he has not undergone the initiation rites of a Blood Nest Warrior, he cannot be controlled by the Blood Nest and will only act on his demonic instincts. If he escapes, the entire southern region of Longzuo County will be plunged into a bloodbath.”

“Brother Youan.” Liu Ruolan glanced at him, “My husband said earlier to prepare more trump cards, but you dismissed it…”

“Ahem!” Fang Youan’s old face turned red, he awkwardly said, “I was wrong, I should have begged for Master to come even if it meant begging for it.”

“Can’t Brother Youan best him?” Wang Shouzhe’s brow furrowed. A single Wedding Blood Gu Emperor had made Fang Youan admit defeat! This proved that the thing was indeed exceptional.

“Normally, it would have been a close match between the two of us. However, the most dangerous aspect of the Wedding Blood Gu Emperor is when the host is weaker and controlled by the Emperor.” Fang Youan took a deep breath, “With me and sister Greenferns together, we should be able to hold him off. Brother Shouzhe, Sister Longyan and I will go first, after you finish dealing with your enemy, come and aid us immediately.”

With that!

Fang Youan wasted no more words, stepping on air and launching into the sky.

“Clang!”

A sword song resonated.

A longsword of icy crystal traversed the sky, causing the temperature inside the Blood Nest to plummet in an instant, and snowflakes began to flutter all over the sky. The scene was indeed awe-inspiring.

At the same time.

Sister Greenferns also looked very serious, she pushed off the ground with her feet and, bang, shot off like a cannonball. The speed and explosiveness were so sudden that it caught people off guard.

Uh…

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe’s heart couldn’t help but curse. He had previously advised to err on the side of caution and prepare a few more trump cards, only to be mocked.

Now, both the high-level warriors were restrained by Yin Yuzhe and were unable to make full use of their abilities. No, in fact, even Brother Youan expected Wang Shouzhe to quickly defeat the enemy and help him fight Yin Yuzhe.

Luckily, he didn’t listen to Fang Youan. He still patiently prepared a few trump cards.

When Wang Shouzhe turned his head to look at Huangfu Jinhuan, their eyes met, sparking an intense “collision”.
