Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1268: Chapter 17 Shou Zhe Has Also Become a Big Shot (Asking for Monthly Passes)_2 Chapter 1268: Chapter 17 Shou Zhe Has Also Become a Big Shot (Asking for Monthly Passes)_2 “Because the master of your Golden Sun Peak, Lang Ya Enlightened One, is glaring at me as if he wants to swallow me whole, he probably fears that I’ll steal you away,” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, then greeted the Lang Ya Enlightened One not far away with a cupped-hand salute.

Lang Ya Enlightened One’s face darkened, and though reluctant, he returned the gesture to Shouzhe.

Though he is the vein master of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch of the Sacred Land and the peak master of Golden Sun Peak, when it comes to influence and status across Da Qian, he might not necessarily compare to Wang Shouzhe.

Thus, Lang Ya Enlightened One certainly couldn’t put on airs in front of Wang Shouzhe, even though he actually disliked him greatly; he still had to pretend to be cordial.

Xu Chuchu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shrank back, retreating two steps without daring to say more.

After all, Lang Ya Enlightened One was her mentor…

After this incident, Wang Shouzhe’s mood had relaxed a lot.

Even though the rivalry for the title of Saint among the Lingyun Holy Ground seemed somewhat hasty compared to the prolonged and perilous struggle for the position of Emperor’s son, as long as there were reasonable rules, the World’s Best always had the highest chance of winning, regardless of the type of trial.

Moreover, he did not believe his daughter, Wang Liyao, could be surpassed in overall quality by anyone.

After all, she was a daughter he had personally trained; no one understood Liyao’s capabilities better than he did.

Not to mention anything else, just take Longzuo Academy for example. Under Liyao’s management over the years, it had been thriving, climbing from fifth to third among the Seven Major Academies.

Given more time, rising to first place was not out of the question.

And even if Yao’er didn’t secure the position of Saintess or receive the inheritance of the Transcendent Void Codex, there was no need to worry.

Firstly, there was still the Immortal Palace she could attempt to conquer. With her Unparalleled Heavenly Child qualities, there was a good chance she could obtain a lineage inheritance.

Secondly, there was the option to pull some strings at the Divine Martial Dynasty’s mid to high-level military academies.

As a last resort, he could simply take Wang Anye to explore the depths of the Southern or Northern Wilderness to see if they could luckily unearth some relics of the Void inheritance.

Regardless, there were always more solutions than difficulties.

Thinking of Anye, Wang Shouzhe felt much more relieved.

Anye was already ninety years old, old enough to serve as the main pillar of the family.

For the mission to search for the relics of Blood Venerate’s old lair, he planned to send Anye and Zong Chang together. Zong Chang was a versatile scout of the family, and Anye had always been lucky; their cooperation might yield some unexpected results.

But let’s put aside these idle talks for now.

In the meantime, the peak masters, hall masters, and valley masters of the nine veins of the Sacred Land had all taken their seats at the main seats.

They, along with Wang Shouzhe, were sitting in the same row, serving as the main guests in this competition for the title of Saint.

Moreover, behind each of them followed a spirited and dignified young person, each displaying a unique aura, clearly the most outstanding successors of their respective veins.

As the competition for the title of Saint did not discriminate against one’s origin, any of the Great Heavenly Prouds of the Lingyun Holy Ground could participate without any limit on the number of participants. Additionally, due to the special trial mechanism, it wasn’t like the Imperial Household’s struggle for the title of Emperor’s son, where one powerful lineage could dominate; instead, it strictly evaluated individual qualities, making it exceptionally fair and just.

As for the Imperial Household, they generally didn’t express opinions directly during the process.

However, if any of the Great Heavenly Prouds of the Sacred Land could garner strong support from the Imperial Household, they would receive more abundant cultivation resources, more training opportunities, and could even enhance their qualities further by utilizing treasures from the imperial treasury to secure an advantageous position in the struggle for the title of Saint.

Jiang Zhencang had done exactly that in the past.

However, this time the competition was rather special. Three of the competing Quasi Sacred Maidens originated from the Wang family, immediately making the situation unpredictable.

Because of this, even before the competition had begun, the struggle became intense behind the scenes, with each vein secretly striving to cultivate their own Great Heavenly Prouds.

For instance, Yunyang Enlightened One had long begun to covertly cultivate Wang Licui, and Tianhe Enlightened One had obviously done the same, fostering Liyao as his successor early on.

If they could act this way, how could the other veins not have their secretive maneuvers? In any case, within their abilities, showcasing their talents was still possible.

“Yunyang, I hear your Licui is a Second Rate Supremacy among the Great Heavenly Prouds?” Tian Huo Enlightened One, with his fiery hair and booming voice, conversed with Yunyang Enlightened One, “That really makes us of the Southern Ming Departing Fire lineage envious.”

“Ha ha~ Your Zhen Shicong is also not bad,” replied Yunyang Enlightened One, his cheerful mood causing his face to flush with a hint of red glow, “That lad has recently become quite close with Licui and the others, quite a clever child, maybe he can turn the tables this time.”

“Not at all, that lad is just adding to the excitement,” laughed Tian Huo Enlightened One, waving his hand dismissively before curiously adding, “I heard that your Licui is cultivating the initial part of the LuLi Ming Wang True Method. Why doesn’t she accept the True Method Inheritance of the Taiyi Jinyang lineage?”

“Heh, with Lang Ya that fellow controlling the Taiyi Jinyang lineage, and with him always aiming at me, if I were to expose Licui to him early, he would surely use every despicable means to snatch her away,” Yunyang Enlightened One gave a cold laugh, “I must be wary of that trick.”

Not far away, Lang Ya Enlightened One’s face had turned so dark it seemed water might drip from it.

Damn Yunyang, when and where have I ever targeted you?
