Chapter 142: Chapter 115 Suppression! Liu and Zhao Family_1
Though the two were not as formidable as the Dragon Smoke Old Ancestor, they were still bona fide cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm and had lived long enough to accumulate substantial battle experience amongst other old ancestors.
They coordinated their attacks from different sides in an attempt to cut off the Dragon Smoke Old Ancestor’s escape path.
The strategy they employed was rather straightforward.
At the very worst, if they could just hold off Wang Longyan, the rest of the Wang Clan will be left unprotected. Furthermore, two high-level Qi Refinement Realm experts in the Liu Clan are fully capable of eliminating the younger generations of the Wang family.
The Dragon Smoke Old Ancestor’s eyes were calm, seemingly unconcerned about Liu Zhde and Zhao Bojun. As she raised her hand, the torrent of dazzling light radiated from the Dragon Smoke Sword, blocking both opponents’ attacks.
Unfazed by the odds, she fearlessly withstood both simultaneously.
As the two old ancestors attacked.
The faces of everyone in the Liu and Zhao Clans brightened with excitement and their eyes shone with a brutal killing intent. Once the old ancestors dampened Wang Longyan’s resistance even slightly, they would be ready to lay into the Wang Clan.
“Old Ancestor Ruhong,” said the demonic cultivator whose surname was Li, speaking in a neutral to Ruhong. “You and I are merely here to lend our support. There’s no need for things to get deadly. If we were to inadvertently suffer severe injuries, wouldn’t we be forsaking the path of celestial beings? It would be better for us to just stand aside.”
He chuckled under his breath. “Once the Wang Clan is done for, next is your turn, Chen Ruhong. I’ve heard the Chen Clan of Donggang has passed down a Spiritual Artifact, the Water Dragon Spear. This weapon is incredibly powerful, even more so when used in water battles.”
Old Ancestor Ruhong simply shut his eyes without giving any response, focusing his spiritual sense onto the other to keep him in check. He was ready to act only if his enemy made a move.
“Wang Shouzhe, the current situation turns out to be 70-80% similar to your previous prediction. You truly are a step ahead of our adversaries.” Chen Fangjie, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to butter up Wang Shouzhe while showing off a bit. “Which card are you going to play next? I bet someone from the Wang Clan has already stepped into the Spirit Platform Realm, most likely Old Ancestor Xiaohan. Otherwise, you would not be capable of slaying a level three Water Elemental Beast.”
He sighed inwardly. It was apparent that his brother-in-law was gaining authority and loved setting traps for others. He felt like he should curry favor with Wang Shouzhe, lest Wang caused him trouble with a simple word in the future.
Wang Shouzhe merely glanced at him lightly, “You were involved in the planning process the entire time; something as obvious as this doesn’t need to be touted around with such self-satisfaction. It only makes you come across as less intelligent and frankly makes me worry that your lack of discretion may impact the future of my nephew.”
Chen Fangjie felt wronged, I was just giving you a little praise—it can’t be that bad, can it?
However, Chen Fangjie’s guess was correct.
Indeed, Wang Shouzhe was about to play the ‘Old Ancestor Xiaohan’ card.
After much careful planning, he had kept Xiaohan under wraps the entire time, not even holding a Spirit Platform banquet for him. Wasn’t it all for today?
Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to make his move—
Suddenly.
A furious shout could be heard from the camp. An elderly figure, also disguised as a horse groomer, leapt into the sky, “Liu old thief, Zhao old dog, you dare gang up on a helpless girl while I, Zhong Xingwang, am still here?”
The elder flew into the air, his body full of Mysterious Energy and threw a punch at Zhao Bojun, “Come on, let me teach you a lesson.”
Zhao Bojun was instantly struck with terror as he turned to block the attack.
“Boom!”
Zhao Bojun was sent flying back several feet by the punch. With a shocked and angry expression, he demanded, “Who the hell are you, daring to meddle in the disputes of our peaceful prominent families?”
Simultaneously.
Liu Zhde, who had been fighting one-on-one with the Dragon Smoke Old Ancestor, took advantage of a feint and quickly retreated, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Bojun, his expression equally furious.
Just as expected!
That Wang Shouzhe is nothing good, even inviting two Spirit Platform Realm cultivators to back him up.
“Hmph!”
After successfully rebuffing his foe with a single blow, Zhong Xingwang took a few steps in the air and stood around ten feet away from the Dragon Smoke Old Ancestor, his back straight and hands behind him, he proclaimed, “Zhong Xingwang of Zhong’s of Bai Dao Guard!”
In that moment, he felt like he’d reached the peak of his life.
The sensation of fighting side-by-side with his classmate, stepping in to help her in a critical moment—it was all simply too wonderful. Especially seeing the indifferent stare from her, it was so intoxicating and unforgettable.
But he did not even dare to take a step closer.
What kind of side-by-side is this!
Would you dare to move in closer?
Of course not, because his legs would get soft!
Despite Zhong Xingwang’s inner excitement, he remained a true Spirit Platform Realm cultivator.
To outsiders, he was still awe-inspiring and extraordinary.
“Heavenly Man Zhong Clan!”
At present, these words were considered taboo amongst the senior members of the Liu and Zhao Clans. In fact, their resentment for him was no less than their resentment for Wang Shouzhe.
Liu Zhde roared with outrage, “So the Heavenly Man Zhong Clan is actually colluding with the Wang Clan? Why? Why is this happening?”
Colluding?
Zhong Xingwang felt not the slightest bit of anger towards the accusation. Instead, he felt his heart fill with pride, saying with a smug look on his face, “Yes, collusion. I’m colluding with the Wang Clan, and I’ve colluded deeply. If you’re not convinced, then come fight me.” Collusion? Haha, I like that word.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Smoke Old Ancestor’s gaze turned icy and she glared at him.
Zhong Xingwang’s body instantly went numb and his whole body trembled. He quickly dropped his smug demeanor, his expression becoming serious once more..
