Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1596: Chapter 99: Finding a Young Wife for Shou Zhe_3

“Cui’er, silence.” The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s expression suddenly became solemn. “A God Sense just swept over. It should be that powerful human woman. But don’t worry. There are so many fierce beasts here, chaotic and overlapping life energy flows. As long as we hide our presence well, she won’t…”

Unfortunately, she couldn’t finish her sentence before two fat fluffballs suddenly moved.

They flapped their wings clumsily, their round, plump bodies bumping into things as they tried to fly out of the cave. At the same time, they screeched at the top of their lungs, “Zhi-zhi-zhi~~~~ Zhi-cha~ cha-cha-zhi~~”

Their cries were as pitiful as you could imagine; anyone listening might think they’d been subjected to some horrible abuse.

“Oh no!”

The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s face turned pale.

It was too late to stop them. With such a commotion, how could that powerful human woman not notice?

“You two traitors!”

Cui’er was so furious she wanted to explode. She lunged forward, ready to drag the two troublemakers back and vent her anger by giving them a good beating. But the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor stopped her.

Sure enough.

Almost immediately, King Chaoyang’s cheerful voice echoed from the sky. “Green Phoenix, you sure know how to hide! If not for these two little creatures cluing me in, you nearly fooled me.”

At the same time, several other figures darted in from various search lines, rapidly closing the encirclement.

“Cui’er, take this final Thousand-Miles Instant Travel Token.” The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s expression grew incredibly grave. “In a moment, when the fighting starts, I’ll try to hold them off as much as possible. After you teleport away, head straight back to the All Saints’ Kingdom and notify Sister Nine Tails and Elder Emperor Xiu.”

“No, Old Ancestor, let me stay and hold them off—you should leave first,” Cui’er said anxiously.

“It’s useless. Their target is me… Only if I stay behind will they refrain from going all out to catch you.” The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor sternly replied. “Remember, only if you escape alive do I have a chance to survive.”

“I understand, Old Ancestor.” Tearfully, Cui’er took the Thousand-Miles Instant Travel Token without further hesitation.

As they spoke, several Void Realm experts in the sky had each claimed a position to prevent the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor from breaking through.

Void Realm experts typically lived long lives, with deep foundations and numerous tricks. Even if cornered, they could potentially mount a desperate counterattack. Thus, they couldn’t let their guard down, even against a foe who appeared to be at her limits.

“Miss Green Phoenix,” Emperor Longchang laughed heartily, “I advise you to surrender. Our family’s Wang Shouzhe is quite handsome, wealthy, with an extraordinary bloodline. Becoming his second wife would be a blessing for you.”

“Your Majesty…” Wang Shouzhe, riding a Kunfish behind the group, protested helplessly. “Could you not speak like a stereotypical villain? I never…”

“Shouzhe, you ungrateful brat! I’m doing this for you!” Emperor Longchang interrupted, glaring at him before continuing to ramble. “Regardless, I’ll forgive you this time. After all, you’re my creditor. Just sit back and enjoy the show. Leave everything to me. You, a mere Purple Abode Realm cultivator, might get hurt by the aftershocks of our big shots’ battle.”

With that, Emperor Longchang began rubbing his hands in gleeful anticipation.

Despite his previous penchant for solo combat, his time with Wang Shouzhe had increasingly taught him the joy of outnumbering the enemy.

A mere Purple Abode Realm!? Wang Shouzhe gave him a resentful glance.

He silently thought, If I use all my tricks against you, Your Majesty, I guarantee you’ll regret it.

A dignified Void Realm expert without even a single Dao-level item, cultivation just barely reaching Level One Peak—if this were a game, you’d basically be running around naked.

While lost in thought, another fierce battle erupted.

In the midst of the fight, the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor revealed her true form once more.

She transformed into a powerful and stunning phoenix, with green-gold feathers akin to sculptures of precious metals, shimmering and refracting light under the sun. Her enormous talons seemed to be forged from gold and iron, exuding an aura of lethal power.

When she fought, her massive wings blotted out the sky. A casual flap was enough to summon terrifying energy storms, showcasing her overwhelming ferocity.

On the opposing side, despite four Void Realm experts being present, three were in the early stages and couldn’t match the Green Phoenix one-on-one. King Chaoyang, though in an advanced stage, was unable to fight at full capacity due to injuries.

Of course, the key advantage for their camp lay in their overwhelming odds—they didn’t need to risk everything. Working together, they could steadily wear down the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor.

At that moment, a flash of spatial light suddenly burst inside the cave—that was Cui’er using the Thousand-Miles Instant Travel Token to flee.

King Chaoyang quickly stabilized the scene and ordered, “Our target is the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor. Don’t bother with the little girl who escaped. Even if she returns to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, it’s of no consequence. The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is hardly capable of stirring up trouble. If the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor and Emperor Xiu Demon Emperor dare act recklessly, I’ll personally send a message back to the Immortal Dynasty to suppress them.”

A true Duke of the Immortal Dynasty, his aura was domineering to the extreme. Indeed, such confidence was necessary to attempt catching the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor to marry Wang Shouzhe.

As soon as these words fell, they instantly calmed the nerves of Emperor Longchang and Jiang Zhencang.

Then, under King Chaoyang’s command, the four worked together and launched a synchronized encirclement. Though the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor played several hidden trump cards, they were all neutralized by the seasoned veterans. Ultimately, she failed to create significant ripples or change her fate.
