Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 836: Chapter 19 My “Filial” Great-Grandson_3

“Anye, don’t be afraid,” Wang Shouzhe soothed as he patted his head. “Although this thing looks frightening, it’s really just an ancient spirit remnant. Despite its bluster, exterminating it would be effortless for us.”

In the past, Wang Shouzhe had encountered something similar—the old ghost Jiang Yuchen, parasitizing the jade pendant. That old ghost had once been a cultivator of the Shen-tong realm but had ended up as nothing more than a spirit remnant.

“Hehe~ young one, it seems you have seen quite a bit,” the spirit remnant in the core of the formation fumed, “The seat of honor would like to see for itself what exactly you can do to exter…”

Before it could finish speaking.

Wang Shouzhe swiped across the storage ring and tossed out a jade pendant.

Under the surge of energy in the jade pendant, a phantom of a spirit remnant rose up—it was unmistakably the visage of the old ghost Jiang Yuchen. Upon seeing Wang Shouzhe, he was so alarmed that his divine soul trembled, and he hurriedly bowed in greeting: “This old servant pays respect to the young master.”

No wonder Old Ghost Jiang was so fearful; over the years, he had been “tortured” countless times by a couple who appeared to be a perfect match of Immortals, yet were in truth extremely cruel and scheming.

All the knowledge and memories he ever had were thoroughly extracted.

Just as he thought the couple would destroy his soul after plundering all his knowledge, Wang Shouzhe reached an agreement with him that was too tempting to refuse.

Caught between life and death, Jiang Yuchen, powerless to resist, hesitated not a moment to place his trust in Wang Shouzhe, despite the hope offered being slim.

“Old Jiang, give a greeting to your own kind,” said Wang Shouzhe with an indifferent tone.

“Eh? There’s also a spirit remnant here?” With a scan of his fragmented God Sense, Jiang Yuchen quickly understood and stated, “Reporting to young master, it’s possible for a cultivator of the Shen-tong realm to leave behind an undying spirit remnant. However, the weaker the divine soul energy at the preliminary Shen-tong realm, the lower the chances of leaving behind a spirit remnant. That old ghost inside the formation, his spirit remnant’s power is much like mine; likely another in the advanced stage of Shen-tong.”

Advanced stage of Shen-tong!

On-site ancestors like Old Ancestor Xiao Han were shocked not only by Wang Shouzhe’s spirit servant but also by the content of Old Ghost Jiang’s statement.

In the entire Great Qian Land, aside from the current Great Emperor and the lord of the Sacred Land who were both in the Transcendent Void Realm, there were very few great cultivators in the advanced stage of the Shen-tong realm.

And now, it seemed that both spirit remnants were of the advanced Shen-tong realm.

Only Longyan, the Old Ancestor, glanced at Wang Shouzhe nonchalantly and softly transmitted a message, “Shouzhe, why still keep such a sly old ghost? In my opinion, either exterminate it or turn it over to the Academic Palace for handling.”

“Old Ancestor, rest assured, Shouzhe has his own ways to suppress it. This Old Ghost Jiang has lived long enough; if used properly, he can be quite beneficial.” With Wang Shouzhe’s ability, if he weren’t fully confident he could control him, why would he keep the old ghost by his side?

Since Shouzhe already had methods and plans, Longyan, the Old Ancestor, was reassured.

Meanwhile.

The spirit remnant in the core of the Formation Eye had also fallen into a silence, evidently startled by Old Ghost Jiang’s spirit remnant.

“Old Jiang, can that spirit remnant be suppressed?” asked Wang Shouzhe in a mild voice.

“If it were one on one, because he occupies the advantageous terrain, it would be difficult for this old servant to take him down,” the excited old ghost Jiang Yuchen replied. “However, we have the advantage of numbers and can use brute force to break this damaged Hidden Large Array and then easily suppress the spirit remnant.”

Although Old Ghost Jiang specialized in the nefarious Golden Toad Codex and had little research into formations, he was, after all, an age-old monster that had lived for over a thousand years in the mortal realm; he’d seen much and knew enough to roughly make out the footing of this formation.

“Stop!” The spirit remnant in the Formation Eye was so provoked that the clouds stirred, “This old man was sleeping peacefully here, and not only do you want to destroy my home, but you also want to suppress me—since when is this reasonable? This is intolerable!”

Wang Anye blinked innocently, his clear eyes seemingly filled with reluctance.

He tugged at Wang Shouzhe’s arm and said, “Great grandfather, that old master makes some sense, and he seems quite pitiful. Maybe we should let this go.”

Old Ancestor Xiao Han chuckled, “Anye, you’re still young and have a kind heart. But setting aside the rewards from breaking the formation, just think about our future expansion of the In-laws Alliance territories—many Spirit Veins around here are abundant with Spiritual Energy which we will definitely need to develop. How can we allow such a hazard to linger?”

Wang Anye’s expression also showed a hint of headache before his eyes brightened, saying, “Old master, could you consider moving? I have money, and I can have my great grandfather order a big house to be built for you~”

As he spoke, Wang Anye waved his hand, his arms full of glittering gold notes, among which were some valuable Purple Gold Notes.

“My Ye’er is truly a good child,” Wang Shouzhe said joyously as he stroked his great-grandson’s head. “Great grandfather promises you, as long as he agrees to move, I’ll definitely build him a big house in a remote mountain. As long as he doesn’t cause trouble or harm others indiscriminately, we won’t harm him.”

“Old master, did you hear that? My great grandfather is the Family Head of the Changning Wang Clan; he always keeps his word and certainly wouldn’t go back on his promise to a child,” Wang Anye earnestly said. “If you agree, I will help you.”

The spirit remnant in the Formation Eye pondered briefly, as if considering something.

After a short while, it asked, “Good child, do you know how to wield a sword?”
