Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 137: Chapter 112: Start! Autumn-Winter Hunt_2

Besides, a Profound Martial cultivator can actively catalyze and intensify the conversion of Mysterious Energy by resonating with meridian points, quickly replenishing their Mysterious Energy. Wang Shouzhe’s meditation method of cross-legged sitting, driving the swelling of the meridian points, is an active conversion of Mysterious Energy, which is much faster than passive conversion.

After Wang Shouzhe finished his session and got up.

Old Ancestor Longyan had also finished her session. Her eyes moved slightly as she asked with concern, “Shouzhe, how do you feel?”

“It’s strange. I was just helping Old Ancestor to heal, not cultivating myself,” Wang Shouzhe said somewhat inexplicably, “I feel as if my cultivation base has improved a bit. It’s faster than when I cultivate with the ‘Profundity Secret’, it’s even more remarkable.”

“Perhaps it was an illusion the first time, but it’s probably not an illusion the second time,” said Old Ancestor Longyan, pondering, “There are millions of bloodlines in the world, and although my knowledge is shallow. But in my understanding, your bloodline talent is one of the most extraordinary. Take heed, never reveal it to anyone, just pretend you have the Yin Wood Bloodline.”

The Yin Wood Bloodline, is quite excellent amongst all other Wood Type bloodlines.

It possesses strong regenerative power and isn’t too shabby at healing, likewise, it has some catalytic effect on plants.

But when compared with Wang Shouzhe, it falls way behind.

“By the way, is Zhong Xingwang still around?” Old Ancestor Longyan suddenly asked..

“He’s here,” Wang Shouzhe replied, “Is Old Ancestor intending to meet with him?”

“No, last time in the Hundred Islands Guard’s black market, I bought twenty Creation Pills, and I’ve already taken three,” Old Ancestor Longyan said, “Now that you can heal my injuries for me, the remaining Creation Pills would be wasted. Call Zhong Xingwang over to see me so he can dispose of the remaining Creation Pills.”

“Our Wang family is spending a lot right now, we can recover some funds.”

Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat, can we not be so real, Old Ancestor? He said at once, “Old Ancestor, let me handle this matter.”

“No need, Shouzhe, you have been working hard recently, take a good rest. Zhong, who is eating and drinking every day at our house, is living too comfortably. Is it too much to make him do something small?”

Alright – – But Wang Shouzhe also knew that if Old Ancestor Longyan showed Zhong Xingwang a pleasant expression someday, he might not be used to it.

Wang Shouzhe, following the will of the Old Ancestor, invited Zhong Xingwang over.

At first, he was trembling with fear and sincerity.

But when he heard about the task assigned by Old Ancestor Longyan, he was ecstatic, thumping his chest, promising to complete the task perfectly.

Then, he took the seventeen Creation Pills, his face full of joy, and went off in high spirits. Before leaving, he chatted with Wang Shouzhe, saying, “Younger brother Shouzhe, I’ll be back in a flash. Senior sister is weak, you must take good care of her.”

“Brother Zhong, I must tell you the truth, my family’s Old Ancestor Longyan will never be interested in you,” Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but say seriously, “Please accept the reality, Brother Zhong.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, younger brother Shouzhe? What kind of person is senior sister, isn’t it normal for her to not be interested in me?” said Zhong Xingwang, “I have never asked for anything from senior sister, as long as she can be a little happier, I’ll be very relieved.”

Such a spineless appearance, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t muster any sympathy for him.

Bro, you won’t get a wife like this.

However, as Zhong Xingwang was enjoying himself, indulging in his taste, with both parties willing and happy, Wang Shouzhe was helpless.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye, while Wang Shouzhe spent his days at home cultivating and studying the effects of his talents.

The bumper harvest season arrived. The harvest was plentiful this season due to the improved effects of the Insecticide Powder, with all the prominent families in various regions reaping the rewards.

Especially the Wang family’s own farmland, as well as the territories under their jurisdiction. Under the early care of the Insect Master, Wang Luo Jing, the harvest was exceptionally good.

The unfortunate ones were the farms of the Liu and Zhao families.

The tenant farmers were already panicking and unwilling to produce. Without an Insect Master and without Insecticide Powder, the yield plummeted to an unbearable level.

Why didn’t they have any Insecticide Powder?

The reason is simple, the entire Ping’an Town’s supply of Insecticide Powder was claimed by Wang Shouzhe. For the commoners in the territories under the Liu and Zhao families, Wang Shouzhe distributed the Insecticide Powder according to the contract at a third of the price.

But for the farms of the Liu and Zhao families, well, they even ran to the Qian Family business to seek help, but the Qian Family business didn’t care.

Under these circumstances, groups of villagers organized to run to the town’s governing office demanding a change of jurisdiction. And Lei Yangqiu, of the town’s governing office, after a pretense of scolding, finally changed their affiliation to the Wang family’s jurisdiction, on the grounds of conforming to public opinion.

The power of the Liu and Zhao families was shrinking step by step.

If they do not come up with effective countermeasures, they will certainly be completely squeezed out of all living space by the Wang family.

However, at this moment.

The annual autumn-winter hunt of the Wang Family has officially begun.

This is a tradition left by the Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan, serving as a reminder to the younger generation not to forget the hardship of their ancestors in pioneering the land and urging them to cultivate, to unfold the hope of the family.

This tradition has been imitated by many prominent families, gradually becoming a preserved activity among various families and clans.

However, in recent years, the Wang Family has been on a decline. They no longer dared to enter the depths of the Outer Realm to hunt fierce beasts, they merely roamed around the periphery of the Outer Realm, hunting some ordinary wild beasts, and ended the hunt hastily.

The Wang Family had not hunted a fierce beast in five years and had become a laughingstock.

According to the rumor, the Wang Family, led by the young clan leader Wang Shouzhe, will venture deeply into the Outer Realm to wash away their past humiliation.

In the middle segment of Liuan Mountain Range, there is a natural canyon.

The narrowest part of this canyon is just over a hundred meters wide.

Therefore, the ancestors built a city wall and set up a pass here to block the migration of fierce beasts.

This pass is none other than the famous Zhou Xuanguan.

Yes, it was the wall and pass built directly under the supervision of the Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan. It is the demarcation line dividing the Inner and Outer Realms of Ping’an, where they dwell.

Outer Realm is a general term.

Areas beyond the national border where humans have not settled are collectively referred to as the Outer Realm. For the people of Ping’an Town, the Outer Realm starts beyond Zhou Xuanguan.

Zhou Xuanguan is renowned for its grandeur. It’s over a hundred meters long, seven to eight meters wide, and a staggering ten meters high!

Lying across the ground, it looks like a sleeping massive dragon.

The city wall is equipped with parapets, crenels, anti-aircraft arrow towers, crossbow towers, lookout towers, and other facilities. The outer wall is built from massive rectangular stones, over a meter thick each.

The interior of the city wall is hollow and can store bows, arrows, crossbows, weapons, food, fuel, and other materials, and part of it serves as the living area for the garrison soldiers and officers.

Outside of the sturdy city gates, there’s a ten-meter-wide moat that can deter some water-fearing fierce beasts. Outside the moat, the ground is covered with various defence spikes similar to caltrops, including wooden spikes, iron spikes, and stone spikes, extending beyond ten meters.

In addition, a small fortified city is built inside the city gate. When the pressure on the wall is too great, a portion of the fierce beasts can be let in through the main entrance to be lured into the fortified city and killed.

Overall, Zhou Xuanguan is a barrier protecting human safety, so no amount of defence is excessive.

The Wang Family’s caravans and horse teams passed through Zun City and, under the watchful eyes of the people living in the pass, independent cultivators, peddlers, soldiers, etc., exited from Zhou Xuanguan and entered the Outer Realm.

Throughout this process, the members and heads of the Wang family remained silent, their expressions serious and solemn yet tinged with grief.

That’s because Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan, Old Ancestor Qiongyuan, and many of the family’s elders, died at Zhou Xuanguan.

Zhou Xuanguan is more than a hundred meters long. During the original siege, the Liu and Zhao families were also guarding part of the city wall. Their ancestors feigned death, allowing a batch of fierce beasts to cross the wall! This led to total loss of control.

Therefore, every time the people of the Wang Family cross Zhou Xuanguan to enter the Outer Realm, their mood is extremely gloomy.

However, this time seems somewhat different.

The Wang Family members, despite their repression, seem to radiate an inner strength. They seek to show the brilliance of the Ping’an Wang Family in this autumn-winter hunt.

As if they want to use this hunt to prove that the once three-spiritual-platform Wang Family of Ping’an – they are back!

The informants hidden in the dark all relayed this scene out.

Wang Shouzhe, the clan leader of the Wang Family, riding on a black horse, stepped onto the land of the Outer Realm.

The wind after autumn seems to turn a bit chilly, and plants gradually begin to turn yellow.

In order to store enough food and energy for the winter, the entire food chain of the Outer Realm, including wild beasts, fierce beasts, and so on, also start to become extremely active.

In this season, the roles of the hunter and the hunted often reverse. This has always been unpredictable since ancient times…

After autumn.

Is also a good season.

To settle scores.
