Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1751: Chapter 137: His Majesty the Demon Emperor! Sorry for the disturbance_3

No reason other than the fact that Wang Fugui’s wealth continues to expand endlessly; Yan Gold, Immortal Crystal, Divine Spiritual Treasures, copious amounts of Purple Abode Treasures, and even Fine Magical Treasures are being continually scavenged, along with all sorts of precious refining materials, Spiritual Medicine, and even finished Dan medicines.

There’s even a vault with several top-grade Spirit Stones stored inside.

These top-grade Spirit Stones are extremely precious; those like Jade Spirit True Monarch, who aspire to reach the mid-late stage of the Transcendent Void Realm, are exceedingly eager for these Spirit Stones. Their price is approximately equal to a hundred million Qian Gold.

But at the moment, no matter how much treasure energy Wang Baocai has, it’s of no use. Due to Rich’s cultivation base, he can’t immediately advance to Level Six, and the amount of treasure energy he can amass within himself has its limits. With no other way, he can only crystallize the remaining treasure energy into Wealth Accumulating Fruits.

As his realm improves, the range of treasures he can accumulate has greatly expanded, not only enveloping the Imperial Palace but also including second-class and third-class aristocratic families living nearby.

Sure enough, within the Imperial Palace with its millennia of history and among the various prominent families, there are quite a few forgotten treasures. Every wave of ten to twenty Wealth Accumulating Fruits always yields some valuable items.

Wave after wave of Wealth Accumulating Fruits, Wang Baocai keeps squandering the treasure energy inside him that has made him uncomfortably swollen.

There was even an occasion when a top-grade Spirit Stone and some forgotten antiques were found inside one of the Wealth Accumulating Fruits he had gathered, totaling quite a bit of money.

“This is like stripping the place bare.” Old Uncle Hai was almost fainting again.

This is excessive; it’s far harsher than digging three feet deep to scour the surface.

It’s over, over, this time His Majesty will truly be bankrupt, becoming a pauper. When His Majesty returns, he might be so furious that…

Just imagining the possible scene nearly suffocated him.

Wang Baocai, however, was having the time of his life; this was the first time he had so much treasure energy to squander. Blind-box opening has become one of his greatest joys.

“Eh? What’s this?”

Just as Wang Baocai was about to finish scouring the earth under the Imperial Palace, suddenly, a jet-black token emerged from one of the Wealth Accumulating Fruits.

The token seemed buried for a long time, losing some of its luster, yet its intricate patterns and the suppressive aura it emitted made it immediately apparent this object was anything but ordinary.

“Yiya yiya~”

Curious, Wang Baocai used a branch to pick up the token, spat some juice to wipe it clean, and infused it with a bit of treasure energy to try driving it and see what this thing was all about.

“Bao Cai, don’t act recklessly.” Wang Fugui hurriedly reached out to stop him when he saw this, “Such unknown items shouldn’t be touched without caution…”

But his warning was too late.

Just as he spoke, a vast and unparalleled God Sense suddenly erupted from the token, sweeping out like a raging storm and spreading across the sky.

“Young master, be careful!”

Faces changed around him, and someone immediately rushed up trying to protect Wang Fugui.

However, it was too late.

In virtually an instant, spiritual energy amassed from all directions, coalescing into a human figure before Wang Fugui.

The figure was entirely constructed from energy, shimmering with a hazy glow as light and shadow refracted. It vaguely resembled a middle-aged man wearing a black robe trimmed with gold, unreal yet tangible, like a living Dharma Shadow.

He held his hands behind his back, casual in demeanor yet exuding an unparalleled momentum, with boundless, terrifying pressure radiating from him, striking fear into the heart.

With just a glance at Wang Baocai, his expression flickered with slight surprise: “Rainbow Glaze Treasure Tree? Quite rare indeed.”

But that was all.

He didn’t pay Wang Baocai too much attention, merely casting a casual look, and the black token floated up before him.

In his deep, jet-black eyes, a complex and unfathomable wave flickered, as he muttered to himself, “Yongxi, Yongxi, just how much do you resent this emperor? Even in death, you were unwilling to pass the Demonic Emperor’s Order I gave you to your descendants?”

Yongxi?

Wang Fugui, who already maintained a very solemn expression, felt his heart clench.

Previously, he wasn’t quite aware of who “Yongxi” was, but upon coming to Yan Kingdom and hearing the name frequently, he naturally learned that Yongxi was a past Great Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, who preceded the current Yan Kingdom Emperor, Yuanyin Great Emperor by a generation.

He already harbored ominous premonitions and speculations. Now, hearing this figure claim “This emperor” and speak such words, his face immediately stiffened.

Could luck get any worse?

This surely had to be one of the world’s only four True Immortal Realm powerhouses—the Red Moon Demon Emperor!

Although the apparition appearing before him was clearly just a projection, the Demon Emperor is the Demon Emperor; even a mere projection is not to be trifled with.

“Well, no matter how much you begrudge this emperor, we were once childhood friends; today, let this emperor resolve your Yan’s calamity for you.” After reminiscing about his dear friend, the Demon Emperor’s gaze finally fixed on Wang Fugui.

By this time, Wang Baocai had already sped towards Wang Fugui to hide behind him.

He too understood that this black-clad individual was not someone to provoke.

“Dongqian’s Wang Fugui, greets the Demon Emperor.” Wang Fugui respectfully and politely bowed.

With hands behind his back, amidst the torrent of demonic might, the Demon Emperor surprisingly exuded a refined and gentle aura, akin to that of a gracious gentleman.

With interest, he looked at Wang Fugui, “You are quite an interesting child, yet you shouldn’t have come here.”

“Apologies, Your Majesty, for the disturbance.” Wang Fugui also looked at him, his gaze probing, “Then, shall I leave?”
