Though the two of them didn’t possess the formidable combat prowess of Ancestor Longyan, they were still qualified Spirit Platform Realm Cultivators, and having lived long enough, their combat experience among the ancestors was quite rich.
They attacked from left and right, joining forces to besiege and entirely block Ancestor Longyan’s escape route. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Their strategy was simple and direct.
Their worst outcome would be to hold back Wang Longyan, after which the remaining Wang Clan members would lose their protection. Meanwhile, the Liu Family had two Qi Refining Realm experts at their peak, more than enough to slaughter the Wang Clan’s younger generation.
Ancestor Longyan’s eyes were calm and unperturbed, as if she had not even considered Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun worth her notice. Her jade hand lifted lightly, and the Longyan Sword turned into a hazy glow that blocked the two men’s attacks outside of the sword aura.
Facing two foes alone, she was completely unfazed.
With the two ancestors making their move.
Everyone from the Liu and Zhao Clans was thrilled, their eyes filled with cruel killing intent. As soon as the ancestors managed to suppress Wang Longyan and free themselves, they would attack the Wang Clan members.
"Ancestor Ruhong." The demon cultivator with the surname Li was rather wary of Ancestor Ruhong, speaking to him lightly, "We are both merely here to lend a helping hand. Why fight to the death? If we are not careful and suffer severe injuries, wouldn’t that end our Path of Celestial Human? How about we exchange pieces and take each other out?"
But in his heart, he sneered, planning to settle the score with Chen Ruhong after the Wang Clan’s downfall. It was said the East Port Chen Family possessed an ancestral spiritual artifact, the Water Dragon Spear, a remarkably powerful weapon that displayed even greater effectiveness in water battles.
To this, Ancestor Ruhong made no comment, merely half-closing his eyes while a thread of spiritual sense firmly locked onto him, adopting a stance of non-action as long as the enemy did not move.
"Shouzhe, the current situation is surprisingly seventy to eighty percent similar to what you had foreseen earlier. Truly, you predicted their every move." At the side, Chen Fangjie took the opportunity to praise Wang Shouzhe, while showcasing himself, "What move are you planning next? I guess someone in your Wang Family has advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, most likely Ancestor Xiaohan. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to slay the Tier Three Aquatic Ferocious Beast."
He sighed internally, observing how this brother-in-law of his was gaining more power and had a tendency to set traps for people. It was necessary to maintain good relations; otherwise, with just a word, Chen Fangjie’s future could become quite difficult.
Wang Shouzhe gave him a calm glance, "You were part of the plan the whole time, so why speak so smugly about something so obvious? It makes you seem unintelligent, causing me to involuntarily doubt whether this might affect my future nephew’s prospects."
Chen Fangjie felt utterly aggrieved, thinking, wasn’t I just playing along with you to flatter you? Was this really necessary, really necessary?
However, Chen Fangjie was indeed right in his guess.
At this moment, he was naturally going to play the card of Ancestor Xiaohan.
After sparing no effort, he had kept Sixth Grandfather hidden, not even holding a Spirit Ascension Platform ceremony for him, all for this very day.
Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to make his move.
A roar of anger erupted in the camp, and an old man, also dressed as a coachman, leaped into the air: "Old Thief Liu, Old Dog Zhao. The two of you teaming up to bully a weak woman, do you take Zhong Xingwang for nonexistent?"
The old man soared into the sky, his entire body enveloped in profound qi, launching a fierce punch towards Zhao Bojun: "Come, come, let me Zhong teach you some manners."
Zhao Bojun was immediately filled with fear and quickly turned to block.
Elder Bojun was punched back four to five zhang and only then could he steady himself, his expression one of shock and anger, "Who are you to dare interfere in our Ping’an Family’s struggle?"
Liu Zhide dared not engage Ancestor Longyan alone; with a feint, he quickly retreated, standing side by side with Zhao Bojun, his expression equally outraged.
That Wang Shouzhe was up to no good, actually inviting two Spirit Platform Realm cultivators to assist them.
Zhong Xingwang, after fending off the formidable foe with one strike, took a few steps in mid-air, standing more than a zhang away from Ancestor Longyan, arms crossed and posture tall, he declared loudly, "Hundred Islands Guard Zhong Family, Zhong Xingwang!"
In that moment, he felt he had reached the peak of his life.
Being able to fight side by side with his senior sister, and to lend a hand in her moments of crisis, such a feeling was truly wonderful to the extreme. Especially the subtle glance she threw his way, it was utterly captivating and unforgettable.
Yet he himself didn’t even think, was only gutsy enough to stand more than a zhang away?
What talk of fighting side by side!
Dare to come any closer?
Of course not, because his legs would turn to jelly!
Despite Zhong Xingwang’s inner theatrics, he was indeed a bona fide Spirit Platform Realm cultivator.
In the eyes of others, he naturally appeared mighty and imposing, full of extraordinary grace.
"Celestial Human Zhong Family!"
At present, the term belonged to the category of taboo words among the high ranks of the Liu and Zhao Clans. Their resentment towards it was no less than towards Wang Shouzhe.
Liu Zhide roared in rage, "How can your Celestial Human Zhong Family openly collude with the Wang Family? Why, why is this happening?"
Facing such accusations, Zhong Xingwang, instead of being angry, felt even more delight, his heart growing even lighter, and he replied with an air of pride and arrogance: "Collude, indeed. I have colluded with the Wang Family, and deeply so. If you disagree, come and fight." Collude? Heh heh heh, I love this word.
However, Ancestor Longyan’s gaze sharpened, glaring in his direction.
Zhong Xingwang shuddered all over, his body weakening instantly. He hurriedly corrected his somewhat perverted demeanor, assuming a more solemn and serious expression.
