Chapter 469: Chapter 5: Longyan shows its power! Suppressing the Mid Stage Celestial Being_1
Over the years, as the relationship between the two clans improved, the understanding of the Changning Wang Clan by the Longzuo Wang family became increasingly deep. The marvel of Wang Shouzhe also gradually embedded in people’s hearts through various incidents, as if there were no issues he couldn’t resolve as long as he was present.
Especially among the younger generation of the “Shou” and “Zong” generations, they admired Wang Shouzhe greatly, seeing him as their idol.
At this moment, as Wang Shouzhe came over, everyone felt a sense of relief and immediately greeted him.
“Greetings to Senior Zhou Bo, Clan Leader Xiao Rui, and all the clan elders,” Wang Shouzhe greeted each of them politely and proportionately, leaving those from the Zhang family unheeded on the side.
The Changning Wang Clan sent not many people for support this time.
Other than Wang Shouzhe and Old Ancestor Longyan, there were only the siblings Wang Zong’an and Wang Liyao. Wang Shouzhe brought them along for the sake of letting them see more of the world.
After Wang Shouzhe greeted everyone, he let Wang Zong’an and Wang Liyao meet the elders. The atmosphere between the two sides was lively, like a large-scale family reunion.
The members of the Zhang family were so annoyed that their blood boiled, their facial expressions becoming extremely unfriendly.
“I was wondering who was so audacious,” a middle-aged man from the Zhang family, robe clad with silk and face bearing a cold smile, said, “Turns out it’s the newly risen Changning Wang Clan. Humph, it’s fine for your Changning Wang Clan to claim dominion in the country, but now that you’ve just ascended to the 7th rank, you think you’re invincible and want to interfere in the affairs of the county town?”
The one speaking was Zhang Daoyong, the current head of the Zhang family.
The Changning Wang Clan’s name may echo throughout the Southern Six Guards, but the Southern Six Guards are located remotely, and the county town is the capital of Longzuo County, crowded with prestigious families. It could be said that the most powerful prominent families in the entire Longzuo county are here.
A 7th-rank aristocratic family doesn’t amount to much here, and a newly-promoted 7th-rank family like the Changning Wang Clan from a remote area naturally doesn’t attract much attention from other prominent families.
Only related families or those paying attention to the Changning Wang Clan would have a slight understanding of this news.
The reason for the Longzuo Zhang family’s focus on the Changning Wang Clan stems from the rift with the Longzuo Wang family in recent years, which prompted them to conduct a rudimentary investigation into the Changning Wang Clan.
In the eyes of the Zhang family, the Changning Wang Clan is just a newly promoted 7th-rank family in the rural areas, although slightly threatening, they didn’t need to be overly guarded against them.
“The Zhang family?” Wang Shouzhe looked at Zhang Daoyong, with a smile that wasn’t really a smile, “Our Wang family has always been kind to people, but we also do not fear any provocation. Since your Zhang family disregards face, reason, let’s use fists to talk instead.”
“Look to your fists for reasoning?” Zhang Daoyong glanced at the Wang family crowd, especially stopped on Old Ancestor Longyan for a while, his lips curling up in disdain, “Your clan’s Wang Longyan may have some strength, but she is only newly ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm, wanting to compete with our Zhang family, she needs to polish her skills for another hundred years.”
The Zhang family had a populous lineage, with two Heavenly Human Old Ancestors, so naturally, they spoke confidently.
But as soon as their words fell, an odd look flashed across Wang Shouzhe’s face. Both Wang Liyao and Wang Zong’an twitched the corners of their mouth and turned their faces.
“Such a young lad, daring to boast, utterly ignorant of life and death!”
Wang Longyan sneered, a sweep of her eyes and an intense coldness suddenly erupted from her gaze.
In an instant, a terrifying aura rose from her, like a tsunami, rushing towards Zhang Daoyong.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Zhang Daoyong’s face turned pale, he was forced to step backwards by this terrifying aura.
He was drenched in cold sweat in an instant as he struggled to hold himself up, but was still shaking all over. His knees became weak, nearly kneeling down.
How could it be? How could she be so strong?!
Zhang Daoyong’s eyes widened in disbelief, an instinctual sense of dread welling up in his heart.
He had a feeling that this woman, no, this Old Ancestor, really wanted to kill him!
Seeing this, the expression on Old Ancestor Hongqing’s face finally changed slightly.
He abruptly stepped forward, standing in front of Zhang Daoyong, and then flicked his sleeve.
The imposing force that was rushing towards him like a tsunami was scattered by the energy he cast, dispersing all around.
A surge of mysterious energy surrounded him, like a copper wall or iron barrier, blocking Zhang Daoyong.
Zhang Daoyong, who had a narrow escape from death, loosened his tense nerves and nearly tripped over, only managing to steady himself with the help of others.
Even now, his face was still filled with palpable shock.
“Wang Longyan, as an Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Human stage, why must you argue with a youngster?” Old Ancestor Hongqing coldly glared at Wang Longyan, anger simmering in his aged eyes.
“You’re right. Arguing with a youngster is indeed meaningless.” Old Ancestor Longyan glanced at him, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes, “Then, I’ll have a word with you.”
Before her words fell, her hand was already resting on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
With a “clang,” the Purple Thunder Sword suddenly sprung out of its sheath. The golden sunlight reflected on the blade, casting a chilling brilliance.
Longyan Old Ancestor had always lived a reclusive life, protecting the Wang family tirelessly for years on end, carrying the burden of being an old ancestor, and being exceedingly caring towards the younger generations.
However, in reality, she was formerly a spoiled young lady, and her temper was not necessarily good.
