Protect Our Chief

...

"Dexin probably won’t be able to come," Ancestor Longyan said blandly, "Ancestor Yinda mentioned that to prevent Dexin from becoming desperate, he has been keeping a close watch on him every day. Moreover, while that aura of divine thought is strong, it is far from being as exceedingly powerful as a Divine Power Realm."

Since the slaying of Purple Mansion cultivators, Ancestor Longyan’s confidence has increased rapidly, especially now that she has recently accepted the core heritage of the [Profound Ice Phoenix Suffering Technique], naturally her strength has yet again grown.

Nowadays, if she were to face some ordinary early-stage Purple Mansion Black Tortoise cultivators again, she wouldn’t have to fight with such difficulty as she did in the past.

"Enough, enough, Ancestor Yinda is well-meaning. After all, Dexin is a prince; his status and presence are there, and the likelihood of him acting personally is inherently very low," Wang Shouzhe said with a composed smile, "The Ancestor wanted to send Ancestor Zhouhui to accompany us, but I flatly refused. If we don’t leave some outlet for Dexin, he might do something even crazier."

The Wang Family now is no longer what it used to be; its foundation is very deep, and anyone who underestimates the Wang Family will pay the price.

Wang Anye heard about the enemy’s attack and wasn’t very nervous; instead, he asked curiously, "Great-grandfather, did you deliberately lure the enemy to attack us?"

"Once a venomous serpent has its eyes on you, it’s better to bait it out rather than let it hide, waiting to strike you unexpectedly," Wang Shouzhe instructed Anye, "This wave of enemy attack must be fierce and is likely Dexin’s most potent means aside from acting personally. Once we eliminate them, it might calm Prince Dexin’s heated mind a bit, so he doesn’t think the Wang Family is an easy target."

"Secondly, I want to see Prince Dexin’s patience. If he is exceedingly patient and knows how to bide his time, then we must take him more seriously. As things stand, Prince Dexin seems to have inherited the Emperor’s flaw: patience indeed does not seem great."

"Hehe~ Grandpa, you’re gossiping about Great Emperor Grandpa behind his back again," Wang Yingxuan laughed with a giggle, "No wonder Great Emperor Grandpa gets so angry whenever he mentions you."

"Dad, when will the villains make a move?" Wang Lilong was eager and seemed almost ready to burst, "The powerful people in Gui Long City and the Imperial Palace are too many, and they are stifling me. Especially that Elder Azure Dragon; it keeps bullying me just for fun; it’s too annoying~"

Wang Lilong was not one with a good temper. She was used to being unrestrained but had to behave in the palace, and she had built up resentment quickly.

Just as the words were spoken.

Suddenly, a "dark cloud" appeared in the blue sky.

The dark cloud meandered, not like typical dark clouds but composed of countless tiny particles, yet it was still densely black, bringing a huge oppressive feeling like that of dark clouds pressing on a city.

The dark cloud quickly moved toward the flying chariot, and when it got closer, a piercing buzzing sound could be heard, like mechanical roaring, noisy and sharp, making one feel a tingling scalp.

If ordinary Black Tortoise cultivators saw this scene, just a glance would likely scare them to the point their legs go weak.

"Swarm? A Spirit Insect Master or a Barbarian Gu Master? It looks mostly like a Barbarian Gu Master, somewhat intriguing indeed," Wang Shouzhe said calmly, nonchalantly, "Shouyong, fly south of the corridor for a while and find a secluded place to land to avoid hurting innocents along the transportation line."

The heritage of Daqian’s Spirit Insect Masters, if traced back, fundamentally has connections with the Barbarian Gu Race.

However, most of Daqian’s Spirit Insect Masters use spiritual insects in agriculture or craft material production, like raising spirit bees for spiritual honey production, raising spiritual silkworms to increase spirit silk yield, and so on.

Many of Daqian’s Spirit Insect Masters are not very good at combat, are rare, and high-level Spirit Insect Masters are even rarer.

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

Wang Shouyong, responsible for driving the flying chariot, responded and complied.

In the next moment.

The flying chariot suddenly accelerated in the sky, as if encountering a natural enemy, wobbled and fled with a rather embarrassed posture.

This was Wang Shouyong’s experience gained from years of lure fishing with Shouzhe; as bait, you need to present a "weak" posture to maximize the prey’s predatory desire.

The best hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Sure enough.

Seeing the flying chariot flee with excessive embarrassment, the dark cloud-like swarm became more excited, accelerating its approach.

It was almost as if the opponent also didn’t want to engage near the crowded Qengbei Corridor, coercing the Wang Family’s flying chariot towards a remote direction. After all, intercepting and killing in broad daylight carries a higher chance of unexpected happenings.

Since both sides held the same thoughts, their "cooperation" was naturally very harmonious.

In a chase and flight, within less than an hour, the flying chariot finally "couldn’t hold out," wobbling and falling into a vibrant, thriving canyon.

The canyon naturally housed a lower-grade spirit vein, within which resided a Tier Four bear-like ferocious beast. It was the ruler of the area, and all resources within its territory were at its disposal.

The ordinarily rampant Tier Four bear, upon spotting the intrusion of an unknown flying object pulled by spiritual birds into its territory, immediately let out an angry roar: "Roar~~"
