Protect Our Clan Leader
Chapter 1133 - 84: Ascending to Sacred Body! Wang Shouzhe's Transformation_2

```

Compared to before, the flying carriage now held one more bear and one more person.

That massive bear made of soil had not yet reached Level Seven and naturally did not possess the Small Divine Power to shrink as Wang Lilong could.

At this moment, its hefty body was curled into a ball, almost occupying half of the litter. Its plump bottom wedged into the groove of the litter, it dared not move rashly. On that seemingly harmless bear face was also an ingratiating expression.

As for the additional person, naturally, he was the captured Gu Master.

The ancestors of the Daqian People were mostly immigrants who had relocated from the Immortal Dynasty to reclaim the land, while the savage natives were mostly those who had been living in the Savage Land generation after generation; thus, the appearance of the savage natives differed slightly from that of the Daqian People.

Compared to the others in the flying carriage, the Gu Master's skin was a bit darker, his stature shorter, his head shaved, and both his head and body were covered with tattoos.

These tattoo patterns were mysterious and complex, and the pigments used were out of the ordinary. While appearing different from the runes popular in the Immortal Dynasty and Da Qian, they shared a similar ingeniousness in their abilities to enhance physique, speed, and various other wonderful uses.

It is said that in the Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier, tattoos cannot be inked at will; the patterns and their quantity are strictly regulated. Generally speaking, the more tattoos one has, the higher their status. This indicated that the Gu Master must be a significant figure within the Barbarian Gu Clan.

However, at present, this prominent person from the Barbarian Gu Clan was shackled with the "God Locking Shackles".

The construction of the God Locking Shackles was incredibly intricate, spanning from the Qi Sea in his lower abdomen to the top of his head, locking both the Qi Sea and the Divine Soul.

Such a Refining Artifact Creature like the God Locking Shackles was complex in craftsmanship and expensive. It was meticulously made by the Gongye Clan's Tiangong Workshop, typically only for the use of the Government Office and the military to imprison Cultivators with profound Cultivation bases.

Wang Shouzhe had also managed to get a few God Locking Shackles through the face of the An Commandery Prince.

And now, they came in handy.

As for those three fierce Gu Bugs, the Lifelong Spirit Insect Red-tailed Centipede naturally burrowed into the Gu Master's body and lay dormant for the time being, while the other two Level Seven Gu were collected in the gu bag after shrinking in illusion.

Under the effect of the God Locking Shackles, the Gu Master couldn't even use Mysterious Energy, let alone command them.

After a preliminary interrogation, Wang Shouzhe quickly grasped the basic circumstances of this Gu Master.

This Gu Master, named "Wabak," was a Half-Step Saint Gu Master from the Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier.

Having failed a power struggle, he had fled to Great Qian Land and colluded with Prince De Xin, attempting to utilize the great power of the Da Qian Land to overturn the situation.

And the lineage of Prince De Xin had originally planned to conquer the Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier, seeking to lay a winning foundation for the succession struggle of King Kangjun's descendants.

In this way, the two parties naturally hit it off like a house on fire.

Regrettably, plans cannot keep up with changes. After Wang Shouzhe's disturbances, Kang Commandery Prince had not yet had a chance to campaign against the Barbarian Gu Clan and fell from his horse, losing the qualification to compete for the Emperor's son.

Driven to desperate straits, Prince De Xin had no choice but to deploy this hidden piece, intending to eliminate Wang Shouzhe.

Nonetheless, Prince De Xin was also an old and cunning figure. In colluding with Wabak, he kept himself completely clean, not leaving behind a shred of substantive evidence.

To overthrow Prince De Xin based on this matter was no small feat. Moreover, Wang Shouzhe already had a complete set of plans on how to handle Prince De Xin and didn't particularly need such a chance occurrence.

Wabak confessed the ins and outs straightforwardly because, firstly, his life was in Wang Shouzhe's hands, and secondly, because he had already received the latest intelligence from Wang Shouzhe's side.

The lineage of De Xin and Kang Commandery Prince had already failed in the struggle for the Emperor's son, consequently, the position of the main general tasked with campaigning against the Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier also fell into the hands of An Commandery Prince.

Quite naturally, after cursing Prince De Xin, Wabak started to confess actively, trying to gain forgiveness from Wang Shouzhe and hoping to collaborate with An Commandery Prince and Wang Shouzhe.

To this, Wang Shouzhe was noncommittal.

The development of the Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier naturally required expansion, but there was no need to rush. He certainly wouldn't be as hasty as Prince De Xin~

...

Half a day later.

The Prince's Mansion of Prince De Xin.

Located in the eastern part of the city and less than fifty miles in a straight line from the Imperial Palace walls, the Prince's Mansion of Prince De Xin was the closest to the Imperial Palace out of all the Prince's Mansions in Return to Dragon City.

Compared to the residence of Kang Commandery Prince, Prince De Xin's level of luxury climbed another step, whether it be the building materials used or the decorations and furnishings in each room of the residence. Even the Spirit Flowers and exotic plants grown in the garden were more precious and rare, barely second to the Imperial Palace itself.

It could be imagined that although the previous taxation incident had some impact on Prince De Xin's residence, it was far from causing significant harm.

After all, Prince De Xin was already over a thousand years old, having surpassed a millennium as a Divine Realm Powerhouse. Such years of accumulation was not to be taken lightly.

Despite hefty annual expenses, if even just a few million were saved each year, over a thousand years, it would amount to a terrifying sum.

Twenty years of back taxes were merely a drop in the bucket compared to the actual amount he had evaded in taxes, and though the finances of Prince De Xin's residence were not abundant at the moment, scraping together the sum was still feasible.
