Protect Our Clan Leader

"Pursue!" Taishi Ankang's eyes became sharp, "Today, we must not let him escape!"

As soon as his words fell, his momentum suddenly soared.

Amid the clashing sounds of metal, a set of profound-colored armor quickly spread over his body, and he ascended into the sky, transforming into a yellow beam of light, chasing in the direction of where the Old Ancestor Kung Hao had fled.

Seeing this, Old Ancestor Qian Shaoyuan's eyes narrowed, raising his hand, he summoned a golden abacus. His entire body was instantly enveloped by a golden light and he dashed into the sky.

"Old man, where do you think you're going?!"

The Seven-tailed Fire Fox was so furious that it snarled and gnashed its teeth, pushing off with its four paws, it transformed into a red beam of light and chased after them.

In the blink of an eye, four beams of light crossed the sky like rainbows and disappear on the distant horizon.

With the departure of several high-level Purple Abode Realm powerhouses.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just survived a disaster. Those weak-willed even fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Wenxun, who was in charge of the supervision, didn't blame them; after all, even he, a Celestial Realm Cultivator, was trembling as if a great calamity was imminent under this kind of majestic heavenly might.

After all, an Immortal of the Purple Abode Realm is an Immortal. More or less, each of them has realized their own Dao, and each of their moves contains the power of the Heavenly Dao Laws. From this perspective, those in the Purple Abode Realm have long transcended the ordinary. If they were on Earth, they would be revered as the legendary immortals.

"Fortunately, the problem has been resolved." Wei Wenxun's face recovered some of its vitality and he said resentfully, "I didn't expect that Kung Hao of the Cao Family would be so vicious and insane. Fortunately, the wise and insightful Family Head Shouzhe had prepared in advance and invited the old ancestors, Fire Fox, Shaoyuan old ancestor and the Prefectural Governor to come and guard."

As he spoke, his attitude towards Wang Shouzhe was somewhat fawning.

This Master Shouzhe truly was an influential figure now, able to make clouds with one hand and rain with the other. Putting aside the fact that he was ahead of his enemies in planning and strategy, just the fact that he could invite the Prefectural Governor and the Old Ancestor Shaoyuan was a massive boost to his status.

"Resolved?" Wang Shouzhe stood with his hands behind his back, a subtle smile on his face. "I'm afraid that this peace will be short-lived. Immortal Youqing, you've already come, don't you plan to show yourself?"

"Youq...Immortal Youqing...Cao Youqing, the genius of the Sacred Land?" Wei Wenxun's face changed dramatically. "Could it be that she is the one pulling the strings behind all this?"

Just as his words fell.

A figure suddenly rose into the sky from not far away, quickly closing the distance.

As the hidden breath of that person erupted, the mortal clothes of the fisherman broke into dust, and the disguise was instantly stripped away. An ethereal female Profound Martial armor suit of a Sacred Land genius appeared on her body.

This figure was naturally Cao Youqing.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Celestial Realm, both physical strength and power are far beyond human level.

If one is overwhelmingly stronger than one's opponent, it's fine, and one can use powerful Mysterious Energy to protect one's clothes.

However, in a fight with an equal opponent, where every millimeter matters, one doesn't have the extra Mysterious Energy or attention to spare to protect one's clothes.

Therefore, a high-grade Profound Martial battle suit has gradually become a necessity for masters. It not only doesn't require one to be distracted to protect it but also increases one's resistance to a certain extent.

The Profound Martial suit that Cao Youqing was wearing was a Magical Treasure-level battle suit specially provided by the Sacred Land to its internal female Celestial Realm geniuses. The high-end materials used in its crafting were no less than dozens.

It would be respected and treated courteously wherever it went in Da Qian, because it signified her status as a genius and represented that she has the potential to become a Purple Abode Immortal in the future.

However, this trick wouldn't work on Wang Shouzhe.

With cold eyes, he said, "Cao Youqing, it's indeed you who has been scheming in the dark."

"Wang Shouzhe!" Cao Youqing's eyebrows furrowed, her face filled with indignation and resentment. "Why? Why are you always able to anticipate my moves?"

Wang Shouzhe ignored her, instead he turned around and solemnly said to Wang Zong'an, "Zong'an, this is what I often tell you about 'character determines destiny'. Back then, when Cao Youqing publicly attacked Qian Xuehan of the Qian Family, her behavior at that time revealed two things. First, this woman is unscrupulous and audacious.

Second, she is extremely confident in herself and often goes all out in what she does."

"After repelling her initially, I sent people to investigate her background. It turns out that she had been imperious and aggressive since childhood, and she holds a grudge. It wasn't until she was sent to the Lingyun Holy Ground, a place filled with prodigies, that she somewhat retrenched. However, no matter how much she retrenches, she can't hide her nature.

She often conflicts with others in the Holy Ground. She is haughty when she takes advantage, but when she is at disadvantage, she must find a way to take revenge."

Cao Youqing's face turned pale with anger, "What does my personality have to do with you?"

"Father, I understand," Wang Zong'an, with his elegant demeanour, bowed, "Father knew about this woman's narrow-mindedness and that she would inevitably take action against us. Hence, he deliberately set a trap, revealing a flaw, and let her bite the bait. I have learned my lesson."

"What?"

Cao Youqing was stunned. So that's what it was…

No wonder she had been tricked by him time and time again, her temperament was indeed the biggest flaw.

Although she was enraged, she had also learned her lesson. After all, the years of torment in The place of thunder punishment, had somewhat shaved off her ferocity.

Wang Shouzhe patted his son's shoulder and said, "An'er, think it over carefully."

After a bit of pondering, Wang Zong'an had an epiphany, "Father, I really understand now. What father meant was, I should take this as a lesson, be patient, calm and avoid making life-or-death enemies casually. Otherwise, not only will it cause harm to myself, but it would also involve our family.

In this case, the current predicament of the Cao Family from Liaoyuan, might have been caused by Cao Youqing herself."

"This…"

Cao Youqing's body trembled again.

Truth often comes from the mouth of an enemy.

Because of her own impulsiveness, she dragged the Cao Family into the abyss, in order to take revenge, to win back everything she had lost, now, even her Old Ancestor has been involved…

"Fine, I, Cao Youqing…"

"Fool!" Before Cao Youqing could finish speaking, Wang Shouzhe once again patted Wang Zong'an's shoulder, "Although Cao Youqing's personality is problematic, it's mostly the result of her family's influence. The saying goes, 'if the beam is not straight, the building won't stand'. A family with problematic rules and customs is bound to have issues sooner or later.

If not Cao Youqing, it would have been Cao Shaoqing, Cao Laoqing, etc.… As the Young Clan Leader, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, you must set the example for the clan~"

Wang Zong'an shuddered, embarassed, "Father's words, I will keep in my heart. If Father has any important tasks, just instruct Zong'an, Zong'an definitely will not disappoint Father."

At the same time, he was secretly thrilled.

His father kept him by his side, patiently guided and advised him. Could it be... that he, Wang Zong'an, was finally... coming? Come on! Let the burden on his shoulders weigh more.

Even Cao Youqing, who was standing aside, was stunned, as if... what Wang Shouzhe had said made some sense.

Could it be that her, Cao Youqing, and her Cao Family were truly wrong?

However, she was a bit envious of Wang Zong'an, having such a wise father always giving advice at the right time. It's a pity her father...

"This is not the case," Wang Shouzhe solemnly said. "The reason I am saying all this to you is to tell you one thing. In the future, when you run into women like this, avoid them as far as possible and do not provoke them. Come to think of it, there isn't any major task for you to do."

"Well, in that case, just try harder to give me a few more grandchildren, that would be your greatest accomplishment."

Wang Zong'an felt as if he were struck by lightning, completely baffled.

Despite being a prodigy himself, could it be that his grandest mission in life is to procreate for the Wang Family?

"Me, Zong'an, do you ever spare a thought for me?"
