Protect Our Clan Leader

Instinctively, she dodged away.

Then!

Wang Licui made a swoop but only hit the air. With a “thud,” she fell flat on her face.

“Old Ancestor, that’s Licui.” Wang Shouzhe twitched in the comer of his mouth. Is there any hope for this idiot’s IQ? Before acting all cute, couldn’t she remove her full body armor first?

“Oh! Licui?!” Even Old Ancestor Longyan looked somewhat startled.

“Old Ancestor.”

Wang Luo Jing and Wang Luo Qiu both managed to snuggle into Old Ancestor Longyan’s embrace. Even the elder Wang Luotong slipped up and began dingily embracing Longyan’s arm.

A group of lively young generations naturally brought about a surge of cheerfulness in Old Ancestor Longyan. Children to her represented the future and hope of the family, and symbolized the rising sun.

With the demise of Liu Zhde and Zhao Bojun, the remnants of the Liu and Zhao clans naturally had no power to resist and were mercilessly slaughtered on the spot.

Shouzhe had previously stated that he would spare none of the Liu and Zhao factions who participated in the conflict today.

Even that Liu Shengye did not face useless torture from Wang Shouzhe. Instead, he ordered the head of household to end him with a single strike.

Torturing enemies and allowing them to die in agony was merely a way to vent one’s feelings.

After that, it was time to clear the battlefield and deal with the remaining hostile external helpers.

No need to mention the Demonic Cultivator.

After some substantial wear and tear in battle, the cultivator was on the verge of collapse. However, to avoid his desperate counterattack, the three old ancestors all fought conservatively.

It was until Old Ancestor Longyan joined the fight after making some adjustments.

Outnumbered four to one, the strong-willed demonic cultivator was slaughtered on the spot in despair. Not to mention taking someone down with him, he couldn’t even scrape together the energy to injure someone amidst all the chaos.

Such is the advantage of the many against the few. It would bully you until you question the meaning of life.

Moreover, each one of the old ancestors had tremendous survival instincts. When in a dominant position, they would never easily allow their opponents to drag them down with them.

On the pretext of a suicide attack, they would quickly adopt a defensive stance and retreat, and allies would promptly come to help.

Such sly combat tactics are bound to disgust the enemy.

But as long as the enemy is disgusted, we can rejoice.

To prevent the demonic cultivator from faking his death, at Wang Shouzhe’s suggestion, his head and limbs were all chopped off. After carefully collecting the spoils of war, Old Ancestor Mingsheng took a shot, reducing the body to ashes.

This is no exaggeration.

It stems from the respect and caution for the demonic cultivator’s various strange techniques. Who knows what bizarre secret techniques they have up their sleeves?

Having dealt with the Demonic Cultivator,

Only the old ancestor from the Ning West Liang Clan, Liang Haofeng, was left tenaciously holding on. He was facing Zhong Xingwang, whose battle experience wasn’t exceptionally rich but had still been a disciple of the Celestials – an alumnus of the Purple Abode Academic Palace.

With his extensive exposure and various techniques,

Liang Haofeng had always been at a disadvantage throughout the fight. He even suspected that this Zhong Xingwang was mentally deranged.

Even though everyone was merely here to lend a hand, he fought with the zeal of someone high on adrenaline, as if seeking vengeance for a murdered father, always looking to trade injuries.

This made Liang Haofeng want to cry out in frustration. He regretted deeply why he muddled into this messy situation, and encountered such an unreasonable old fart from the Zhong family. What will you gain from injuring me?

“I surrender, Clan Leader Wang, I surrender.” When Liang Haofeng found no way to escape time and again, he could only shout out, “I’m willing to swear an oath, I’ll pay a ransom.”

In fact, even without his surrender, there was no other way out.

The ancestors from the Wang family, Longyan and Xiaohan, had already surrounded him. The other ancestors were also watching him like a tiger.

“Elder Brother Zhong has worked hard, let’s stop here.” Wang Shouzhe said.

“Shouzhe, stay out of this, watch your elder brother beat him to death.” Zhong Xingwang still in high spirits, wanting to show off in front of his elder sister, Longyan.

Longyan Ancestor’s eyebrow twitched slightly, angrily saying, “Didn’t you hear what Shouzhe said to stop?”

Zhong Xingwang shivered all over, promptly stopped, backed up to Wang Shouzhe’s side, and said with a dry laugh, “Don’t blame me, Shouzhe. I haven’t had a fight in a long time, I was itching to fight, itching to fight.” Having said that, he sneakily glanced at the response of Ancestor Longyan.

Wang Shouzhe folded his hands and said, “I’m already deeply grateful that Elder Brother Zhong was willing to stand up for the Wang family during the clan war. How could I possibly blame you?”

Having said that, Wang Shouzhe turned his attention to Liang Haofeng and frowned slightly.

On seeing his expression, Liang Haofeng panicked and immediately looked at Ancestor Mingsheng for help.

Ancestor Mingsheng sighed and said, “Why are you doing this, Ancestor Haofeng? We all know that the Liu and Zhao clans are in a complete mess.”

“Ah, now that things have come to this, I won’t make any more excuses.” Liang Haofeng gave a bitter smile, “The spirit seed of my family is trying to impact the Spirit Platform Realm, the resources accumulated in the clan are not enough, alas, I was momentarily blinded.”

Then, Ancestor Mingsheng looked at Wang Shouzhe and said, “Since you called for a stop, Shouzhe, it is likely you are hesitating whether or not to take Liang Haofeng’s life. However, this Liang Haofeng has cooperated with me a few times before and we have a little bit of a relationship. I would like to ask you for a favor and let him buy his life with money.”

Wang Shouzhe quickly folded his hands in salute, “I wouldn’t dare, Ancestor, even if you didn’t say anything, I planned to do this.”

“However, we cannot let him off easily. We should make him write few letters of repentance, which we, several ancestors, will keep. If he dares to seek revenge or leak today’s incident, we will make the Liang Clan pay a price.” Ancestor added from the side.

“Agreed.” Wang Shouzhe nodded, “In that case, Ancestor Haofeng, please withdraw the remuneration, this is the money that the Liu and Zhao clans have pledged to the Qian family business in exchange for their tribal property.” Wang Shouzhe said, “I have to go to the Qian family to redeem the property of Ping’an Town.”

In fact.

As soon as the Liu and Zhao clans pledged their assets to the Qian family, Wang Shouzhe received information from Qian Xuean, and had a rough judgment of their cards.

“Naturally, naturally.” Liang Haofeng honestly took out a stack of gold tickets, “I only got the payment after entering the outer realm, this is three thousand Qian gold. Once the task is completed, there will be two thousand more.”

“Five thousand Qian gold?” Wang Shouzhe sneered, “The Liu and Zhao clans are really generous, much more generous than me.”

“Shouzhe, you can’t say it like that.” Ancestor defended, “Anyone with eyes can see that the Liu and Zhao clans are not going to make it. They were forced to pay a large sum of money to tempt Liang Haofeng, who is short of money, to take risks when they could not seek help elsewhere. The Liu and Zhao clans are battling with their backs to the wall and trying to survive. We, on the other hand, are here just to pick up money, which has a different meaning.”

“That’s right, Shouzhe, you shouldn’t mix things up.” Ancestors Mingsheng and Ruhong also argued with a smile.

“Shouzhe, these are the gold tickets found on Liu Shengye and Zhao Jinxian.” Wang Shouxin also brought over a stack of gold tickets, totaling up to seven thousand Qian gold.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaohan also presented the Qian Gold he had found on the body of the demonic cultivator, saying, “Shouzhe, there are over seven thousand Qian gold items on that demon with the surname Li, of which five thousand is the remuneration.”

“Fellow Ancestors, the remuneration is for the pawn business of Ping’an, so I will take it without shame.” Wang Shouzhe laughed.

“Shouzhe, this time we just came to help, and we already received remuneration, theoretically, all the spoils of war belong to your Wang family.” The three ancestors were covetous of the vast wealth but still abided by the rules.

They were the hired parties, where was there a rule that allowed them both the remuneration and the spoils of war? However, they never dreamed there would be so much loot, and instinctively they were a little envious.

“The three ancestors are joking.” Wang Shouzhe said, “That demonic cultivator, we all worked together to kill him. The most valuable thing on him turns out to be that demonic blade. Brother Zhong, could you please appraise it for us?”

“This is my specialty.” Zhong Xingwang was a steward in the black market, who specialized in appraisals. He promptly took it, appraised it, and confirmed, “This demonic blade has a little damage and needs some repairing. If my black market buys it, it would cost about twenty-five thousand Qian Gold. If it were repaired and then sold on consignment, it would take some time, but it could go from twenty-eight to twenty-nine thousand. The rest of the miscellaneous things are worth about three to four thousand Qian gold.”

Although it was already estimated, the total war spoils of over thirty thousand Qian gold made everyone feel a bit short of breath.

Just now, when Shouzhe spoke, it seemed like he intended to split it among everyone.

Immediately, the three ancestors looked at Wang Shouzhe as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.

Presumably, Wang Shouzhe only needed to call out next, saying, “Who shall we fight?”

Then, the three ancestors would definitely rush over without hesitation.
