Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2229: Chapter 254: Shouzhe Makes a Move! The Demon Lord Attacks

“Shouzhe, you have given this much thought.” A trace of warmth flickered in Longyan Old Ancestor’s eyes. Watching over and assisting each other, thinking of each other when there are benefits, that’s what family bound by blood means. Curiously, she asked, “Shouzhe, now that you have reached the ninth level of Enlightenment True Form bloodline, how does your ability to stimulate growth compare to back then?”

“Old Ancestor, please watch.” Wang Shouzhe pointed with his finger at the dark lotus in the distance. Boundless Life Origin Energy poured into it, and in an instant, the lotus blossomed with a brilliant glow, as if life was burning.

However, it was already mature, so there was not much change in shape, only its leaves became thicker, and the lotus root slightly larger.

When all the light dissipated, a tinge of purple appeared vaguely, drawing closer again towards the direction of the dark lotus.

Longyan Old Ancestor praised in amazement, “Shouzhe, no matter how many times I see you perform your talent for growth stimulation, it always feels incredible. Life truly is full of endless mysteries.”

“Indeed, the universe and the Life Origin are so enigmatic and grand.” Wang Shouzhe also sighed, “Reaching the Divine Power Territory feels like just touching some of the universe’s mysteries, yet the other shore is still extremely far away.”

“Yes, I believe that as long as we persist in striving forward, there will come a day when we can unravel the depth of the Life Origin. Shouzhe, my life will be dedicated to protecting you and the family.”

…

As the Wang family enjoyed their harmonious gathering.

Marginal Wasteland.

Southern Wilderness.

In recent years, as the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Wang family interact more, various human-built structures have gradually appeared on the southern wilderness land.

Most of these buildings are constructed around the Holy Valley, serving as bases for trade associations and training institutions, specifically for teaching the demon beasts human language, writing, cultural knowledge, and basic skills necessary for living in human society.

Currently, some human trade associations have tasted the benefits, even recruiting demon beasts from these training institutions to secure better quality demon resources.

As buildings increase, centering around the Holy Valley, the area has begun to somewhat resemble a city’s embryo.

With more frequent human activities, a winding trade route from Shouzhe Pass to the Valley of Demons has increasingly taken shape, and merchants willing to risk coming here to strike gold are gradually increasing.

As the trade route forms, the dangers of exploring outside the region have decreased, encouraging boundaries, leading to accumulating wealth and completing primitive accumulation of realm cultivators.

Correspondingly, this also leads to the diminishing of true no-man’s-land zones within the Southern Wilderness, making it increasingly difficult to find a location completely undetected.

At this moment.

Somewhere near an ancient marsh, in a mist-shrouded, extremely remote valley unknown to others, a giant complex maze Formation had been set up at the valley’s entrance.

The Formation was laid out with extraordinary care and skill, so well hidden that only cultivators with exceptionally high formation expertise could detect its presence.

At the valley entrance.

Two Divine Power Realm cultivators dressed in black stood guard at the mountain stream near the valley entrance.

Here lay the Formation’s hub and the only path into the valley; holding it meant guarding the whole valley.

Of course, a Transcendent Void Realm expert could tear through space, and the maze Formation wouldn’t stop them. But this Formation was not meant for that, rather to intercept those adventurers sporadically emerging across the Southern Wilderness.

And now, an adventurer wandered into the valley, trapped within the maze Formation.

Controlling the maze Formation to expel the adventurer from the valley, one of the Divine Power cultivators couldn’t help but complain, “Why are there so many people in the Southern Wilderness? How many does this make? Didn’t they say that Dongqian’s establishment is recent, and with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom nearby, the wilderness is still underdeveloped?”

“Who knows~” The other Divine Power cultivator appeared indifferent, “They’re just low-tier cultivators, nothing to worry about. Anyway, soon we’ll be gone, so just guard these few days.”

As they spoke, the void ahead rippled with layer upon layer of space waves.

A graceful female figure tore through space, descending from the sky.

The woman wore a blue dress, her demeanor serene and elegant, but her imposing presence was as vast as the ocean, carrying a compelling force.

“Elder Yun.”

The two Divine Power cultivators’ hearts shivered, quickly stepping forward to salute.

“Has anything happened in the valley while I was away?” Chao Qingyun nodded slightly, asking casually.

“Everything in the valley is well. The revered one and the various Demon Kings, the Old Ancestor are all waiting for your return~” The two Divine Power Realm guards respectfully replied.

“That’s good.”

Chao Qingyun wasted no words. Her figure flickered, transforming into light, swiftly darting into the valley.

This valley was remote, with a gentle stream running through it, very tranquil. Further inside, a serene small lake formed, not too large.

In the blink of an eye, she had arrived above the small lake deep within the valley.

The small lake was crystal clear, its surface shimmering, while mist rose, enveloping it in a haze like an Immortal Realm.

Within the mist, a silver-black metal flying boat quietly hovered in the air.

This flying boat, resembling a Domain Crossing Ship, had a shuttle shape, appearing ancient with a distinct Divine Martial Dynasty style, yet its exterior gleamed silver and bright, exuding a stern metallic luster, evidently well-maintained.
