Chapter 1138: Chapter 85: Longyan Ascends to the Purple Abode! The Great Emperor in Disguise Visits Incognito_2 Chapter 1138: Chapter 85: Longyan Ascends to the Purple Abode! The Great Emperor in Disguise Visits Incognito_2 Flying vessels regularly traversed the route, and along the way, powerful fierce beasts had been thoroughly eradicated. The climate changes along the airway were constantly monitored, so even when hurricanes approached, advance warning was possible. Furthermore, numerous navigational markers dotted the route, greatly minimizing the chance of losing one’s way and maximizing the safety of the flying carriages.

However, Wang Shouzhe’s flying carriage, departing from Ping’an Town and heading east across land, took a beeline over foreign domains and seas without fear of any danger.

After all, aboard the flying carriage were two individuals, Wang Shouzhe and Elder Longyan.

Over the decades, both had significantly increased their strength. It was the beasts that should be fearful, not them, which allowed for their brazen, straight-line flight.

At this moment, Zhong Mountain Island had already gathered quite a crowd.

As the main residence of the Zhong Family, Zhong Mountain Island was always bustling; however, today it was exceptionally lively. At the square near the port, which was specially constructed for convenient landing of flying carriages, one could see them touching down from time to time, adding to the hustle.

This situation arose because Elder Zhong Xingwang of the Hundred Islands Zhong Family was at the end of his extended life, on the brink of passing away. These people had all come to bid him one last farewell.

Although Elder Zhong Xingwang was not the most exalted figure within the Hundred Islands Guard, he was nonetheless a respected and high-status individual with a great reputation. Additionally, having lived a long life and always treating others with kindness, he had built a vast network of friendships.

Within the entire Hundred Islands Guard, numerous prominent families received his benevolence, and his imminent passing drew many from 8th and 9th-rank families to attend, expressing their sentiment while also forging stronger ties with the Zhong Family.

With so many representatives of prominent families arriving, the Hundred Islands Zhong family naturally had to send someone to receive them.

At this moment, at the square by the port, a young man, along with several juniors, was welcoming guests.

This young man was named Zhong Yuankai, one of the carefully cultivated celestial-type youths of the Hundred Islands Zhong Family. Barely over forty years old, he had reached Level Three of the Spiritual Platform Realm, standing out among the young generation within the entire sphere of influence of the Hundred Islands Guard.

In the presence of many prominent family representatives, he conducted himself with grace and composure.

Even among the deliberate flattery of other Spiritual Platform Realm Family Heads or Elders, his attitude remained modest and polite, inadvertently radiating immense self-confidence.

Indeed, compared to the nearly exhausted potential of those 8th and 9th-rank aristocratic elders, his starting point and platform were entirely different, naturally leading to a different mindset.

Suddenly, someone noticed a Twin Crane Flying Carriage that was rapidly approaching from the sky.

“Level Five Spirit Birds pulling a carriage!”

At the port, the crowd instantly erupted into excitement.

Those from 8th and 9th-rank families, century-old Spiritual Platform elders, lost their usual composure, as if witnessing an extraordinary spectacle, their faces flush with tremendous elation and eyes filled with fervent admiration and envy.

No wonder, for the strength of a Level Five Spirit Bird was comparable to a human Profound Martial cultivator in the Heavenly Human Realm. In terms of life hierarchy, the two Spirit Birds were far above them.

Ordinary 9th-rank families, let alone purchasing a Level Five Spirit Bird, would find the mere prospect of raising one beyond their financial reach, even to the point of bankruptcy.

In fact, for a 7th-rank aristocratic family like the Changning Wang Clan, unless they were an anomaly, rearing a Level Five Spirit Bird would also be exceedingly difficult.

Not to mention the sudden appearance of two birds, solely for pulling a single flying carriage.

“It’s the vehicle of the Changning Wang Clan’s Family Head.” Zhong Yuankai immediately recognized the insignia on the flying carriage and hurriedly called out, “Yuan Sheng! Hurry! Inform Elder Xiangyang to come and receive them.”

The youth named Yuan Sheng was about to run back to deliver the message, but Zhong Yuankai reacted faster, propelling himself forward with his movement technique toward the main residence.

Yuan Sheng was too slow, and Zhong Yuankai knew he could get there quicker. Master Wang’s visit was an event of immense importance and allowed no room for anything less than the utmost urgency.

Just as Zhong Yuankai had barely taken a few steps, two immense auras of Celestial Beings rose up almost simultaneously from the direction of the Zhong Family main residence and swiftly flew towards them.

Accompanying them were two powerful voices.

“Master Shouzhe graces the Zhong Family with his presence, Xiangyang apologizes for not having received you from afar. Please forgive us.”

“Wannian has the honor of greeting Master Shouzhe.”

As their voices fell, the two Celestial Being elders of the Zhong family, Zhong Xiangyang and Zhong Wannian, had already arrived in mid-air, greeting the flying carriage from afar, offering their salutations.

“It’s an actual visit from the Changning Wang Clan’s Family Head…” The representatives from the smaller families on-site immediately began whispering amongst themselves, both shocked and excited.

The Changning Wang Clan was a powerhouse within Longzuo County.

Even though they were officially ranked as 6th Rank, everyone actually regarded them as 5th Grade, and it was said that many 5th-grade families from outside counties couldn’t match the Wang family’s strength. After all, not only did they possess a Purple Abode Realm puppet, but they also had a Level Seven Spirit Beast, the Azure Dragon of the Elemental Water line, as their family guardian.

Most importantly, the Wang family was exceedingly wealthy, which led to the gradual prosperity of the entire Southern Six Guards.

The Hundred Islands Zhong Family had filled their coffers by following in the footsteps of the Wang Clan and were now ambitiously planning to advance to 6th Rank within a century.

After the Hundred Islands Zhong Family became wealthy, the 8th and 9th-rank families within the Hundred Islands Guard, and even the families without rank, all benefited greatly. Through sea fishing, aqua-farming, nurturing Spiritual Clams and Pearls, among other industries, they too had earned a substantial amount of Qian Gold.
