Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1924: Chapter 179: The Wang Family’s Powerful Foundations

…

The uprising lower demon tribe was granted a grand audience by the Unicorn Overlord and bestowed with the title of [Demonic Dragon General].

To win over this extraordinarily lucky “demonic talent,” the Unicorn Overlord even went so far as to marry off his beloved youngest daughter to it.

From that moment on, the [Demonic Dragon General] leapt to become an upper-level demon tribe, becoming the protagonist of a legendary story eagerly talked about among the lower demon tribes.

As the saying goes, “Good fortune is often followed by disaster.”

Shortly after the Unicorn Overlord joyously received his favored general, a major event occurred within his territory.

A large batch of Demon Crystals, painstakingly accumulated in the territory’s warehouse, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The Unicorn Overlord was both enraged and terrified.

The warehouse was tightly guarded; for ordinary folks, not to mention stealing from it, even approaching it was difficult.

Moreover, half of this batch of Demon Crystals was meant to be tribute to the Dragon Elephant Demon Lord Fortress; any delay in this tribute would cause the Dragon Elephant Demonic King to be far from lenient.

Yet, somehow, the thief managed to leave no traces at the scene, and no matter how the Unicorn Overlord pursued the investigation, there were no clues at all.

Left with no choice, he resorted to further exploiting the miners, urging them to hasten the mining of Demon Crystals.

Meanwhile, the “Dragon Blood Demon God” King of Zhennan, having absorbed all the energy from this batch of Demon Crystals, experienced substantial growth in strength. However, he showed no intent to slow his activities; instead, he intensified his efforts to plunder Demon Crystals across various demon territories.

Under the influence of a large volume of Demon Crystals, the strength of the King of Zhennan grew daily, achieving significant enhancement in a very short time.

It’s important to note that the current demonic body of the King of Zhennan, with its origin derived from the Divine Soul of the “Dragon Blood Demon God,” was already at the Demonic God Realm. For him, devouring Demon Crystals to enhance strength was not cultivation but should be called “restoring strength.”

Because there were no barriers, theoretically, as long as the quantity and quality of Demon Crystals were sufficient, he could quickly ascend to the Demonic God Realm.

Of course, this is merely theoretical.

To reach the Demonic God Realm, absorbing top-quality Demon Crystals and higher-grade True Demon Crystals would undoubtedly be necessary. Such resources are extremely precious even outside this realm and are difficult to obtain without being a truly top-tier demon.

Despite this, even if he wanted to “restore” to the Demonic God Realm, the cost and time involved would still be far less than those required for normal cultivation breakthroughs to a Demonic God.

However, with the “theft” of a large amount of Demon Crystals, the entire territory of the Dragon Elephant Demon Lord Fortress, as well as the surrounding areas, plunged into panic.

Because of the enormous loss, even the Dragon Elephant Demonic King was alarmed.

It even personally organized a trusted army, attempting to hunt down the detestable [Demonic Crystal Thief]. But the cunning [Demonic Crystal Thief] seemed to anticipate his actions and had already left the Dragon Elephant Demon Lord Fortress before the encirclement began, stirring chaos in other demonic territories.

Due to this [Demonic Crystal Thief], for a while, territories of three Demonic King Fortresses near the Da Qian Defensive Area were in such fear that even their offensive against the Da Qian Defensive Area was significantly affected.

And while the demonic-conquered area outside the Da Qian Defensive Area descended into chaos, on the Da Qian side, the Changning Wang Clan remained peaceful and harmonious.

After all, battles needed to be fought, and life, as always, had to go on.

As spiritual energy became increasingly rich, the spiritual fog over Zhuwei Lake grew denser, appearing from a distance as if shrouded in a thin veil.

Amidst the misty spiritual fog, spirit egrets could be seen soaring over the expansive waters, along the shores various spirit plants flourished, and occasionally spirit cranes strolled among them, exuding an ethereal, spirited vitality.

Unknowingly, this place had already begun to acquire the flavor of an earthly Immortal Realm, surpassing even the ethereal expanse of Heavenly Lake of Primordial Water.

On the water’s surface,

a Yuanshui Old Turtle, four or five zhang long and more than three zhang wide, glided through the waters.

As its turtle feet paddled, water flowed swiftly aside, allowing it to glide smoothly and swiftly across the surface, resembling a swiftly moving small island.

As the Changning Wang Clan’s founding Clan Guardian Spirit Beast, personally “captured and tamed” by the great Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe, the Yuanshui Old Turtle always held a special position within the Wang Clan.

In several crucial family battles, it repeatedly achieved merit, later taking on the duty of transporting the family’s young children to and from school.

From Wang Zong’an, Wang Liyao, Wang Liyue, Wang Zongrui, and Wang Lizhu, to later Wang Anye, Wang Xuanwei, and then Wang Fugui and Wang Jidie, which among them did not grow up on its back day by day?

Along the way, the Yuanshui Old Turtle witnessed the Wang Clan’s growth and saw the clan prospering with each generation.

The generous treatment as an elder, along with the proactive feeding by the clan’s children over generations, allowed the Yuanshui Old Turtle, which originally had a very average bloodline, to gain enormous benefits and experience rapid growth in strength.

Especially this year, it had just broken through to Level Six!

“A mere Level Six,” in the current Wang Clan, naturally amounts to nothing. But for the ordinary bloodline of the Yuanshui Old Turtle, it was already a great opportunity and encounter.

It had already made up its mind.

Once it reached Level Seven and its spiritual intelligence significantly increased to the point of speaking, it would ask a young master to ghostwrite a book titled “Ordinary Turtle Cultivation Biography,” which might just become extremely popular.
