Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1245: Chapter 10: Evolving Great Divine Power! Longyan Joins the Demon Sect_4 Chapter 1245: Chapter 10: Evolving Great Divine Power! Longyan Joins the Demon Sect_4 “Come, Ruobing, quickly come and pay your respects to the two Great Emperors,” Qi Hongzhao said with a smile, quite pleased with himself, a change from his usual stern demeanor. It was clear that he was extremely satisfied with his newly acquired disciple.

It was no wonder, given that Qi Hongzhao hadn’t exactly been content to remain at the early stage of the Transcendent Void Realm for his entire life, frequently going into prolonged periods of secluded Cultivation and insight. However, the further one cultivated, the more one could feel the shackles imposed by one’s Bloodline Talent.

Unless he ignored the overall interests at stake and stacked up resources, advancing further would be incredibly difficult. And even if he spent a fortune in resources to force his way into the mid-stage of the Transcendent Void Realm, what then?

The path to immortality is vast and boundless. If one does not become a True Immortal, how big of a difference does it make whether one is at the early stage or mid-stage of the Transcendent Void Realm?

Gradually, Qi Hongzhao had become somewhat disheartened.

“Ruobing pays respects to Emperor Yuan You and Emperor Yan Qing.”

Wang Longyan followed the proper protocol and bowed to the two emperors, her demeanor respectful but her voice carrying a calmness that resonated with a chill, as if the identities of the emperors did not impose a significant pressure on her.

Ever since Emperor Longchang stayed with the Wang family, played cards, lost a substantial amount of money, and was arranged by Shouzhe to extract Spirit Veins to work off his debt, his dignity had been crumbling in Wang Longyan’s heart.

Qi Hongzhao’s ostentatious display was observed by both emperors.

Even the typically indifferent Emperor Yan Qing paid Wang Longyan a bit more attention, speculating in his mind what made Qi Hongzhao’s newly accepted disciple so unique.

Emperor Yuan You, on the other hand, brazenly examined Wang Longyan from head to toe, his gaze infused with a thread of God Sense, as if trying to see through her.

“Hmph!”

Wang Longyan let out a light snort, and a strand of God Sense wrapped in Glacial Sha Mysterious Energy burst forth, enveloping her in a fog of ice and sha, keeping Emperor Yuan You’s probing at bay.

Even more, she condensed the Glacial Sha Mysterious Energy into a needle with her God Sense and sent it piercing towards Emperor Yuan You from afar.

“Impudent!”

Emperor Yuan You’s eyes narrowed as he quickly dissolved the icy needle, but Wang Longyan’s action was tantamount to defiance in his eyes.

Enraged, he barked, and a vast and majestic aura rose up, enshrouding Wang Longyan without mercy: “A mere Purple Abode Realm dares to offend the Majesty of the Emperor. Seeking death!”

However, before the pressure could hit Wang Longyan, Qi Hongzhao stepped forward to shield her.

With a casual wave, he blocked Yuan You’s oppressive aura. His smile congealed into a frosty sneer: “Yuan You, do not mistake my Yinsha Sacred Temple for your ‘Paradise Palace’. If you dare to wreak havoc again, do not blame this Sect Master for teaching you a lesson.”

Emperor Yuan You, still youthful, found himself less constrained by the Clan Relatives of the Imperial Household as the elders of the Divine Power Territory who had supported his rise to power gradually passed away, and he grew increasingly reckless.

In recent years, he had even built a Paradise Palace within the Imperial Palace of South Qin, gathering a host of beauties to indulge in pleasure.

“Sect Master Qi is indeed domineering. Not yet at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Void Realm, yet treating me, Yuan You, as a subordinate?” Emperor Yuan You sneered. “I, however, am keen to see how you intend to ‘teach’ me a lesson. Are you planning to use the great formation of the Yinsha Sacred Land to suppress me?”

Qi Hongzhao’s gaze turned colder as a vortex began to form in his eyes: “Very well, without a lesson, you probably think you’re invincible in this world.”

As the tension mounted between them, with Qi Hongzhao ready to make his move, Emperor Yan Qing stood up and made a conciliatory gesture to both sides: “Sect Master Qi, Emperor Yuan You is still young and does not understand the vastness of heaven and earth. Please do not take his words too seriously.”

While speaking, he also gave Emperor Yuan You a glare: “Yinsha Sect is a sacred land jointly revered by the Jin and Qin countries. Do not bring your domestic temper here, Yuan You.”

Emperor Yuan You’s eyes fluctuated, but he soon burst into hearty laughter: “Emperor Yan Qing is correct to scold me; it was my fault for being rash.”

Seeing Yuan You step back, Qi Hongzhao glanced at Emperor Yan Qing, and his gaze gradually returned to its usual calmness. He said indifferently, “This unworthy disciple comes from the life of an Independent Cultivator, having drifted and endured much hardship, which has given rise to his aloof and indifferent temperament. It must be quite amusing for the two great emperors.”

“Independent Cultivator?” Emperor Yan Qing frowned slightly, “Why would Sect Master Qi want to take an Independent Cultivator as a Direct Disciple? Aren’t you afraid…”

Even Emperor Yuan You was looking on with a side-eye.

Generally, Sects and Sacred Lands are very cautious about Independent Cultivators. The Yinsha Sect might use Independent Cultivators as cannon fodder, but they would never allow them to ascend to power.

Qi Hongzhao had been waiting for this moment to speak.

Immediately, he said casually and nonchalantly, “There’s nothing to fear. First, Yin Fengtu has already investigated Ruobing’s background and past without finding any major issues. Second, Ruobing possesses a Bloodline Talent of the Unparalleled Heavenly Child level with Glacial Sha mutated bloodline… Oh, and by the way, she also has a pure Yin constitution, which gives her an added bonus when cultivating the Yin Sha lineage’s Cultivation Techniques.”

What?

Unparalleled Heavenly Child level?

And a Glacial Sha mutated bloodline with a pure Yin constitution!?

Isn’t this an extremely top-quality talent?

Both emperors were unable to sit still upon hearing this.

Such a talent, why didn’t it appear in their own families? How had it ended up on the head of an Independent Cultivator—where was the justice in that?

Seeing the shocked and excited expressions on the faces of both emperors, Yin Fengtu felt his heart might break. Clearly, this was the top-quality disciple he had hardly managed to find, and now she had become his Master’s.

His precious disciple had suddenly become his junior sister…

This situation filled Yin Fengtu’s heart with complex and conflicting emotions.

Emperor Yuan You stared at Wang Longyan in shock. This woman had yet to receive the Codex inheritance, yet she could already reach the level of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child, which was extremely rare even in the Red Moon Demon Dynasty and the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty.

If combined with the Essence of Heaven and Earth granted during the inheritance, she would start off much higher than even emperors like Yuan You. If she were to be provided with the resources for charging into the Mid-Advanced stages of the Transcendent Void Realm right from the start, then in the future…

At this thought, Emperor Yuan You felt both envious and apprehensive.

No wonder Qi Hongzhao protected her so closely; had he been in his place, he would have treasured her just as much. Compared to her, the precious girls of his Bliss Palace seemed like coarse and common rouge.

While Emperor Yan Qing first praised, “Sect Master Qi is truly fortunate to have encountered such a rare talent and beauty.” He then frowned, saying, “Such talent would indeed be a waste if not pushed for at least the Mid-Advanced stages of the Transcendent Void Realm.”

“But if arranging resources for a breakthrough… with the current state of the Sacred Land, I’m afraid it would stretch your resources thin, wouldn’t it?”

“This matter is not urgent for now. We’ll have a meeting among the Elders of Yinsha Sect later,” said Qi Hongzhao, looking at the two emperors with their envious and jealous expressions, secretly delighted.

He stood with his hands behind his back, spiritedly stating, “If Ruobing can reach the Mid-Advanced stages of the Void Realm in the future, we will be able to secure an absolute advantage in high-end power against Dongqian and Lingyun Sacred Land.”

With these few words, Qi Hongzhao seemed to have already designated Wang Longyan as the heir.

In an instant, Yin Fengtu felt a surge of emotion, as if he were about to cry; his disciple had turned into a junior sister, and that junior sister was taking his place as the Sect Master…

Oh, how bitterly sweet it was.
