Protect Our Patriarch

Book 1: Chapter 119: Great victory! Great harvest!

"Luojing, well done." Wang Shouzhe praised with a smile, patting her head affectionately, "Your tactics were very clever, very thoughtful."

"Thank you for your praise, Fourth Brother." Wang Luojing smiled happily, her eyes squinting into slits, her pretty face slightly flushed. She obviously cared a lot about her fourth brother's praise.

"But..." Wang Shouzhe hesitated slightly.

Wang Luojing immediately became nervous, "Fourth Brother, did Luojing do something wrong?"

"No, you didn't." Wang Shouzhe said, "It's just that you're still young. Let the adults handle things like torturing the enemy."

As for Liu Shengye, Wang Shouzhe had no sympathy for him.

Under his leadership, the Liu's Clan had committed countless atrocities. Even being subjected to a slow and painful death would not be too much.

However, Wang Shouzhe was reluctant to let Wang Luojing do it. His fifth sister had an extreme and radical personality, and Wang Shouzhe was afraid that she would go down a path from which she could not return.

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Brother. But Luojing can do it." Wang Luojing said nonchalantly, "That fat pig dared to insult Fourth Brother, Luojing won't let him off."

Wang Shouzhe knew that Wang Luojing was sensitive, unlike Wang Lici who was carefree. He decided to stop here and gradually improve her personality through guidance.

"Luojing," Wang Shouzhe said, "From now on, come and practice with me at the beginning of the hour of the rabbit. This way, I can give you some guidance."

"Really? Can I practice Xuan techniques with Fourth Brother?" Wang Luojing was extremely excited.

Not far away, Wang Shounuo, who was cleaning up the battlefield, saw this scene and felt a bit sour. He was Luojing's real older brother.

Why did Luojing seem closer to Shouzhe? It was as if Shouzhe was her real brother.

Poor him, the real older brother, was almost reduced to a live target for Luojing to experiment with various fierce insects.

Just then.

Wang Lici, dressed in heavy armor, sneaked past as if avoiding something.

"Wang Lici, stop." Wang Shouzhe's face darkened.

Wang Lici's legs went weak, she turned around and forced a smile, "Fo, Fourth Uncle! I, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" She had been very careful to avoid Fourth Uncle, but she was still caught.

"After this autumn and winter hunt is over, every day at the beginning of the hour of the rabbit, roll to my training ground." Wang Shouzhe ordered sternly, "Otherwise, I'll cut off your spirit food."

"Ah?" Wang Lici almost collapsed on the spot. Fourth Uncle, do you have to be so cruel?

Sigh!

Seeing her in such a sorry state, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but sigh.

The girls in the family were all a handful.

One was a sensitive and extremely ruthless radical problem girl, one was a carefree and heartless foodie, and the other was a young girl with a firm determination to become an emperor, full of hot-blooded enthusiasm.

If I, Wang Shouzhe, can't handle these three, then I'm not fit to be their brother. I can handle both the Liu and Zhao Clans, so why can't I handle these three?

But at this moment, there were still many loose ends to tie up, and Wang Shouzhe couldn't focus his attention on them.

"Sixth Uncle, quickly go and help Ancestor Long Yan kill the old thief of the Liu Clan." Wang Shouzhe instructed. Although he knew that with Long Yan's ability, defeating Liu Zhide was a sure thing.

But if they could be more secure, wouldn't that be better? He didn't want the enemy to bounce back during the final stages of the battle and hurt his own people.

"Haha, got it, Shouzhe." At this moment, Wang Xiehan was in high spirits, and he went to help Long Yan with his Zho Xuan sword.

Originally, according to Long Yan's personality, she would have wanted to deal with Liu Zhide herself. But she knew that Shouzhe was seeking stability and care. So she didn't refuse, but cooperated closely with Wang Xiehan to prevent Liu Zhide from counterattacking. With two against one, they had an absolute advantage and managed to kill him.

"Swish!"

With a soft hum from Long Yan's sword, Liu Zhide's head flew up. She caught Liu Zhide's head, her shoulders trembling with excitement, as if she was holding back tears.

Fifty years!

Ever since fifty years ago, when Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun betrayed her, leading to the tragic deaths of her grandfather Zho Xuan and her nephew Qiong Yuan.

The Wang's Clan had been in decline ever since.

And she, Long Yan, had to bear the immense pressure, protecting the Wang's Clan for fifty years with her broken body.

The bitterness and hardship she had endured, perhaps no one could truly understand.

Even though the Wang's Clan was now in a secure position, her heart still couldn't settle down.

It wasn't until this moment, when she held Liu Zhide's head in her hand, that she felt a sense of reality.

The nightmare that had haunted her for fifty years.

Was over!

The vengeance for so many family members had finally been avenged.

Wang Shouzhe walked over, took the head from her hand, and handed it to Wang Shouxin behind him.He was well aware that his understanding of hatred was far less profound than that of Ancestor Long Yan. However, he could somewhat comprehend the feeling of not being able to fully release the pent-up emotions after fifty years of suppression.

Among the younger generation, Ancestor Long Yan naturally loved and trusted him, Wang Shouzhe, the most. However, being a man, he couldn't exactly comfort the ancestor with a hug. Immediately, he waved his hand at a few of his sisters, signaling them with his eyes.

Then, Wang Lici, who was the most observant, donned a full set of heavy armor and pounced forward, ready to act cute and roll around. After all, she was thick-skinned and excelled at such antics.

Unexpectedly, Ancestor Long Yan was startled. What on earth was that?

She instinctively dodged.

Then!

Wang Lici pounced on nothing, and with a "thud", she fell flat on her face.

"Ancestor, that's Lici." Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched. Was there any hope for this idiot's IQ? Before acting cute, couldn't she take off her heavy armor first?

"Ah! Lici?" Even Ancestor Long Yan's eyes flickered uncertainly.

"Ancestor."

Wang Luoqing and Wang Luoqiu both took the opportunity to throw themselves into Ancestor Long Yan's arms. Even the older Wang Luotong came over and clung to Ancestor Long Yan's arm, acting cute.

A group of energetic young descendants naturally helped Ancestor Long Yan to quickly release her emotions. Because children represented the future and hope of the clan, symbolizing the rising sun.

With the demise of Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun, the remnants of the Liu and Zhao clans were naturally powerless to resist and were slain on the spot.

Shouzhe had said before that none of the Liu and Zhao clans who participated in the Heart Movement today would be spared.

Even for that Liu Shengye, Wang Shouzhe didn't bother to torture him meaninglessly, but ordered his family to end him with a single stroke.

Torturing enemies and letting them die in pain was just a way to vent emotions.

Then came the cleanup of the battlefield and the handling of the last two enemy reinforcements.

There was no need to mention that demon cultivator.

After a solid consumption battle by the three ancestors, the demon cultivator was on the verge of collapse. But to avoid his desperate counterattack, the three ancestors fought very conservatively.

Until Ancestor Long Yan, after a slight adjustment, joined the battlefield.

Under the circumstances of four against one, the formidable demon cultivator was slain on the spot in powerlessness and despair. He couldn't even manage to injure anyone, let alone take someone down with him.

This was the advantage of outnumbering the enemy, it would bully you until you doubted your life.

And every ancestor was a cunning old fox who cherished their lives. With an absolute advantage, they would never easily give the enemy a chance to drag someone down with them.

As soon as the enemy fought desperately, they would immediately adopt a defensive stance and retreat, and their allies would actively rescue.

Such a cunning way of fighting was truly disgusting to the enemy.

But when the enemy was disgusted, our side was happy.

To prevent the demon cultivator from feigning death, at Wang Shouzhe's suggestion, his head and limbs were all severed. Then, after carefully collecting the spoils of war, Ancestor Mingsheng took action and burned his body to ashes.

This was not an exaggeration.

It was out of respect and caution for the various strange techniques of the demon cultivators. Who knew what bizarre secret arts they might have?

After dealing with the demon cultivator.

Only the ancestor of the Ningxi Liang clan, Liang Haofeng, was still holding on. He was facing Zhong Xingwang, who although didn't have much combat experience, was after all a disciple of the Heavenly Human World Family and had once been a student of the Purple Mansion Academy.

He had seen a lot and had many means.

Liang Haofeng had been on the defensive and suppressed all the time, and he even suspected that this Zhong Xingwang was a madman.

Everyone was just here to help, but he was as excited as if he was fighting his father's killer, always trying to exchange injuries.

This made Liang Haofeng want to cry out of grievance, regretting to the extreme in his heart. Why did he get involved in this mess? And he had to encounter such an unreasonable old man from the Zhong clan. What good would it do if he got hurt?

"I surrender, Clan Leader Wang, I surrender." When Liang Haofeng couldn't escape time and time again, he could only shout out, "I'm willing to swear, I'm willing to pay a ransom."

In fact, he had no choice but to surrender.

The ancestors of the Wang clan, Long Yan and Xiehan, had already surrounded him. The other ancestors were also eyeing him.

"Brother Zhong, you've worked hard. Let's stop for now." Wang Shouzhe said.

"Shouzhe, don't interfere. Watch your big brother kill him." Zhong Xingwang was still excited and wanted to show off in front of Sister Long Yan.

Ancestor Long Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and said angrily, "Didn't you hear Shouzhe say to stop?"

Zhong Xingwang shivered all over, quickly stopped, and retreated to Wang Shouzhe's side. He chuckled awkwardly, "Don't blame me, little brother Shouzhe. I haven't fought in a long time, and I was a bit itchy, itchy." After saying that, he sneakily glanced at Ancestor Long Yan's reaction.Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhong, I am deeply grateful for your fairness in the clan war on behalf of the Wang's Clan. How could I blame you?"

After speaking, Wang Shouzhe turned his attention to Liang Haofeng, his brows slightly furrowed.

Seeing his expression, Liang Haofeng immediately felt a pang of panic and looked to Ancestor Mingsheng for help.

Ancestor Mingsheng sighed, "Ancestor Haofeng, why are you doing this to yourself? You clearly know that the Liu and Zhao Clans are in a mess."

"Alas, there's no point in arguing now." Liang Haofeng said with a bitter smile, "The seed of the spiritual platform in my family is about to break through to the spiritual platform realm, and the resources accumulated in the clan are not enough. Alas, I was momentarily blinded."

Then, Ancestor Mingsheng turned to Wang Shouzhe and said, "Shouzhe, since you called a halt, you are probably hesitating whether to take Liang Haofeng's life. However, Liang Haofeng and I have cooperated several times and have some friendship. I would like to ask you a favor, let him buy his life with money."

Wang Shouzhe quickly cupped his hands in salute, "Ancestor, please don't make me feel guilty. Even if you didn't speak, I had this intention."

"However, we can't let him off easily. He must write several letters of self-blame, which will be kept by us ancestors. If he dares to take revenge or leak today's events, we will make the Liang Clan in Ningxi pay the price." Ancestor Mang added from the side.

"Alright." Wang Shouzhe nodded, "In that case, please ask Ancestor Haofeng to take out the reward first. This is the money that the Liu and Zhao Clans mortgaged their clan property to Qian's Bank." Wang Shouzhe said, "I need to redeem the property in Ping'an Town from the Qian's."

In fact,

As soon as the Liu and Zhao Clans went to the Qian's to mortgage their clan property, Wang Shouzhe had received information from Qian Xue'an and had a rough estimate of the Liu and Zhao Clans' bottom line.

"Of course, of course." Liang Haofeng honestly took out a stack of gold notes, "After entering the outer domain, I received the reward. This is three thousand Top Gold. After the matter is done, there will be another two thousand."

"Five thousand Top Gold?" Wang Shouzhe sneered, "The Liu and Zhao Clans are really generous, much more than me."

"Shouzhe, you can't say that." Ancestor Mang defended, "Anyone with discerning eyes can see that the Liu and Zhao Clans are done. They must have been asking for help everywhere, but no one was willing to help, so they had to tempt Liang Haofeng, who was short of money, to take risks. The Liu and Zhao Clans are fighting a desperate battle, seeking survival in death. But for us, it's like picking up money, the meaning is different."

"That's right, Shouzhe, you can't lump everything together." Ancestor Mingsheng and Ancestor Ruhong also advised with a smile.

"Shouzhe, these are the gold notes found on Liu Shengye and Zhao Jinxian." Wang Shouxin also brought over a stack of gold notes, a total of seven thousand Top Gold.

At the same time, Wang Xiaohan also presented the Top Gold found on the demon cultivator, "Shouzhe, there are more than seven thousand Top Gold on the demon cultivator named Li, of which five thousand is the reward."

"Ancestors, the reward is for the mortgage of the property in Ping'an. I will take it without shame." Wang Shouzhe laughed.

"Shouzhe, this time we just came to help, and we have already received the reward. Theoretically, all the spoils of war belong to your Wang's Clan." Although the three ancestors were greedy for the rich wealth, they still adhered to the rules.

They were the hired party, how could they take both the reward and the spoils of war? But they never dreamed that there would be so much gain, and they were naturally a little envious.

"The three ancestors are joking." Wang Shouzhe said, "That demon cultivator was killed by all of us together. The most valuable thing on him is that demon blade. Brother Zhong, could you please appraise it?"

"This is my specialty." Zhong Xingwang, the steward of the black market, who usually specializes in appraisal, immediately showed his skills and appraised it, "This demon blade is slightly damaged and needs to be repaired. If my black market buys it, the price is about twenty-five thousand Top Gold. If it is repaired and consigned, it will take some time, and it can be between twenty-eight and twenty-nine thousand. The rest of the odds and ends are worth three to four thousand Top Gold."

Although there was an estimate, the total spoils of war of more than thirty thousand Top Gold made everyone feel a little short of breath.

Just now, it seemed that Shouzhe intended to share it with everyone.

Suddenly, the three ancestors looked at Wang Shouzhe as if they were looking at a god of wealth.

They guessed that next, Wang Shouzhe only needed to call out, saying, let's fight who.

Then the three ancestors would definitely rush over without hesitation.
