Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2435: Chapter 37: Rich! Quickly Restrain Your Divine Skills

…

Another short period of time passed.

At the border of Moyou Country, with just one mountain to cross, one could reach the territory of Song Country.

Masses of serfs, low-ranking prominent families, and common folk were traversing mountains and valleys in groups, escaping to the promised land in their hearts. Even though the journey was extremely arduous and might cost them their lives, they were determined to flee.

On a cliff nearby, Wang Baosheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing from a height at this scene, his youthful face showing a solemn expression.

Throughout his journey, he had seen countless things and tasted the dangers of the human world. Many lawless prominent families or local government offices had even perished by his hands.

Yet, he had never encountered a place like Moyou Country, acting so wantonly, especially that Prince Guangyu, who was utterly lawless.

It should be known that in the past, the Wang family, to enhance the prosperity of the Divine Martial people, urged them to engage more actively in land reclamation and agriculture to create wealth, and had negotiated with two dynasties to formulate a strategy of returning wealth to the people.

The so-called return of wealth to the people was achieved by continuously lowering the price of grain seeds and raising the purchase price of grains, ensuring that cultivating grains became more profitable, thus allowing people to have more resources for cultivation, thereby improving the overall quality of the human race.

This policy had been in place for a long time, and given its huge benefits, it was inevitable that there would be behaviors in various areas to deceive superiors and embezzle funds.

As Wang Baosheng traveled along, he saw so much that he gradually gained some understanding and realized the truth behind “mingling with the dust and light.”

The human heart is fickle; no one can guarantee that a person will forever remain the same as in the beginning. The ideal scenario where everyone strives to advance for the rise of the human race and the revival of Divine Martial, in reality, doesn’t exist.

What he could do was to strengthen supervision to keep the balance leaning to the better side.

However, even though his ideas had gradually changed, he never imagined that Moyou Country could be so absurd.

Prince Guangyu, with one hand grasping at grain seeds and the other at grain itself, wielded immense power, as the prices of grain seeds soared while the purchasing prices plummeted. Moreover, he utilized the Wang family’s grain seeds to ruthlessly suppress dissent, annexing various spirit fields, channeling all wealth into his own Prince’s Mansion.

A vast number of low-ranking prominent families and commoners thus became serfs.

Becoming a serf was not frightening; what was frightening was that Prince Guangyu did not regard serfs as humans, exploiting them to the utmost, as long as they didn’t starve to death. Even if they died, he was indifferent, as those low-ranking members of the human race were just ants with high fecundity in his eyes.

Upon entering the borders of Youguo Country, the tragic scenes he witnessed completely overturned his worldview, stirring up his anger, and he decided to teach Moyou Country and Prince Guangyu a lesson, particularly sparing no effort against Prince Guangyu.

Within just a few months.

Through connections and incitement, over a million people had fled Moyou Country. Moreover, arrangements had been made on the Song Country side to receive and resettle the escaping serfs and commoners, as well as the prominent families who sold their assets and relocated.

As for who supported Bao Sheng?

He was not foolish and naturally knew he had guards following him, along with members of the Group Immortal Palace temporarily managed by his father. With some clever maneuvers, he established contact with the Group Immortal Palace.

Bao Sheng was the sixth in line for family succession, not yet of age, yet he was a legitimate young master, who might someday assist his father in overseeing the Group Immortal Palace.

Thus, he easily garnered some support, leading to today’s situation.

While Wang Baosheng was lost in thought.

Suddenly.

More than a dozen figures appeared in the sky.

Among these figures, the one leading them wore dark robes, exuding an overwhelming aura, was a Transcendent Void Realm cultivator.

Behind him, naturally, followed more than ten cultivators of Divine Power Territory.

Before they arrived, Prince Guangyu’s arrogant voice could already be heard from afar: “What audaciousness, to dare incite my Youguo serfs and commoners to betray the country! Surrender immediately without a fight!”

Upon seeing the situation, Wang Baosheng curled the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.

After planning for so long and intentionally exposing some flaws at times, he finally lured that villain, Prince Guangyu.

If so, today I’ll capture this big fish first, then create havoc in Moyou Country, completely eradicating this malignant tumor.

“Senior Nine Tails, Aunt Rong, please deal with that villain Guangyu,” Wang Baosheng said gravely, “Make sure to keep him alive.”

“Yes, Young Master Bao Sheng.”

As soon as they finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared behind Wang Baosheng.

Both figures were female.

The one on the left held a fiery red fox in her arms, a young woman with red lips and wavy hair, wearing a snow-colored evening gown that accentuated her perfect figure, swaying with charm and allure.

The other was an old woman who looked about fifty or sixty, dressed in a court lady official uniform, her hair neatly tied at the back, her demeanor slightly stern.

The immense and fierce pressure of the Transcendent Void Realm emanated from the two, instantly making even the air seem still.

These two, naturally, were the Nine Tailed Fox Demon Emperor and Aunt Rong.

The entrance of the two Transcendent Void Realm powerhouses immediately frightened the group opposite. Especially the Demon Lord Xuan Sha, who was struck with shock and fury, his expression turning pale: “Nine-tail Demon King? And you, you are Maid Rong by Immortal Emperor Muyun’s side!”
