Protect Our Clan Leader
Chapter 1134 - 84: Ascending to Sacred Body! Wang Shouzhe's Transformation_3

Compared to the financial loss, the loss of face was even greater.

But Prince De Xin was extremely concerned about face and, having suffered this blow, naturally harbored a bone-deep hatred for Wang Shouzhe.

Moreover, the downfall of the Kang Commandery Prince had dealt a huge blow to the Prince De Xin line, so much so that Prince De Xin's hatred for Wang Shouzhe had long since reached beyond the heavens.

He had been preparing for a long time and was determined to eliminate him once and for all.

"The time is about right. The battle over there should also be over by now."

In the back garden of Wang Fu, Prince De Xin stood with his hands behind his back, looking up towards the east. His gaze seemed to penetrate space and fall in the direction of the Qingbei Corridor.

"Prince, your strategies are marvelously calculated." An old man dressed as a butler bowed beside him, flattering with a servile smile, "This old servant has already sent the head of household to watch nearby and instructed him to report back immediately once there is a result. No doubt, there will soon be good news."

This elder was the chief butler of Prince De Xin's mansion, with generations of his ancestors being followers of Prince De Xin. He himself was one of Prince De Xin's closest confidants.

For some secretive matters, Prince De Xin might not let the younger generation know, but he wouldn't avoid this man.

"To be honest, there's something strange about that young man, Wang Shouzhe. Until the very last moment, my heart always feels a bit uneasy," said Prince De Xin, "However, Wabak is the strongest person I can command. With him taking action, it should certainly be foolproof."

"Prince, you are just being too cautious." The butler smiled dismissively, "No matter how cunning that Wang surname youth is, he is only the Clan Leader of a minor prominent family with a Rank Six. Without the protection of An Commandery Prince and Prince De De, he's just an ordinary Tianren Realm Cultivator. With Your Highness personally strategizing, how could you fail to capture him?"

"You, with a mouth as smooth as honey, always know the right compliments to say," laughed Prince De Xin, shaking his head, but his mood had improved a lot.

One had to admit, this Wang Shouzhe indeed had some capabilities.

But after today, there would be no more Wang Shouzhe in this world.

That kid Wu Mingyuan was nothing but a hot-headed fool. Once Wang Shouzhe, the mastermind behind everything, was gone, cleaning up would be all too easy.

Thinking of this made his mood exceedingly joyous, and he felt considerably lighter. That floating, refreshing sensation was something he only experienced during improvements in his cultivation.

Just as they spoke, a servant from Wang Fu came to report that the head of household who had been sent to scout had returned.

"Let him in."

Prince De Xin waved his hand, and the servant went to carry out his order. He himself found a cool pavilion in the garden to sit down, ready to listen to the good news.

After a moment, the head of the household was led into the back garden by the servant and respectfully saluted Prince De Xin.

"How did it go? What was the death like for that Wang surname youth?" Prince De Xin, with a smile on his face, picked up a freshly brewed cup of Immortal Tea and asked leisurely.

"Reporting to Prince, that, that…" The head of household had been keeping his head down ever since he entered the garden. Upon hearing this, he shivered all over and couldn't help but kneel down, pressing his forehead to the ground, and trembled with fear, "Wang Shouzhe is unharmed, but the Gu Master, he was, he was captured..."

"What did you say?!"

Prince De Xin's hand shook, nearly spilling the tea he was holding, and his expression turned extremely ugly in an instant, as if coated with a layer of pitch-black soot.

Wabak was a Peak Purple Abode Gu Master with several formidable Gu insects by his side, and his strength was even greater than that of an ordinary Peak Purple Abode. Unless a Divine Realm Powerhouse intervened, several Purple Abode Realm Cultivators together would likely still not be his match.

If he wished to escape, even a Divine Realm Powerhouse might not be able to keep him.

With such strength, how could he fail?!

Prince De Xin couldn't believe it and was filled with shock and rage. He slammed the teacup onto the stone table and demanded in a cold voice, "Speak! Report all the news that you have gathered, without omitting a single detail!"

"Yes."

The head of household was so frightened that he trembled all over but dared not conceal the slightest bit.

He then described in detail how he had been waiting from afar until the remnants of the battle's energy dissipated before cautiously approaching to check. He continued to tell how he realized something was wrong, deduced from various clues that Wang Shouzhe and his party were all alive and intact, and instead, the Gu Master had been captured by them, as well as how he had urgently hurried back to report the situation, not omitting any details for fear of incurring wrath.

The flattery-practicing butler, who had buttered up the wrong way, was also frightened white and dared not make a sound, standing aside and trying to shrink his presence.

After listening to the report, the astonishment and rage on Prince De Xin's face diminished significantly, but his expression became extremely solemn.

This Wang Shouzhe was indeed peculiar.

He didn't know how Wang Shouzhe managed all of this, but one thing was certain, both he and Wu Chengsi had greatly underestimated the strength of the Changning Wang Clan.

After all, even Wabak had failed. Unless a Divine Realm Powerhouse took action, it would likely be difficult to pose a threat to the Changning Wang Clan.

However, Divine Realm Powerhouses were numbered throughout all of Da Qian, with each one being a big shot, and every move under the scrutiny of others. Trying to act unnoticed against the Changning Wang Clan was easier said than done.
