Chapter 92

......

It wasn't just Wang Shouzhe.

Even the other young members of the family were all staring at the battlefield with bright eyes, lost in admiration.

A battle between Spirit Platform Realm elders was something rarely seen. Everyone's understanding of their combat power and destructive capabilities was purely based on imagination.

Today, this was a grand feast, and it had a positive and encouraging effect on the young generation who aspired to walk the path of the Spirit Platform.

Like Wang Luqiu, the girl who always boasted about walking the path of the Emperor, her delicate face was now filled with shock and disbelief, as if she had been somewhat discouraged, which made Wang Shouzhe feel a bit heartache.

"Girl, it's okay," Wang Shouzhe patted her head, comforting her, "You're still young. As long as you want to walk the path of the Emperor, no, the path of the Spirit Platform, your fourth brother will definitely support you, even though this path is full of hardships and obstacles..."

Unexpectedly,

Wang Luqiu glanced back at Wang Shouzhe, "Old, no, Wang Shouzhe, can you stop being so childish? The path of the strong has no easy way. I was just thinking, when can I punch a mountain to pieces? I guess it will take another one or two hundred years, which is a bit sad."

Wang Shouzhe was speechless. Are you planning to tear apart spaceships with your hands? He ignored her.

Suddenly!

There was a change on the battlefield.

Under Longyan Old Ancestor's relentless attacks, Liu Zhide's turtle shell was finally shattered, and he flew backward, screaming in terror, "Lei Yangqiu, are you really going to watch me die with your own eyes?"

Upon hearing this,

Wang Shouzhe's face immediately turned serious. It's here.

Liu Zhide had finally called out this name, and Wang Shouzhe had actually anticipated it. However, when it truly happened, his face turned dark, and the issues he had been pondering came to the surface.

As Liu Zhide's plea for help echoed,

A voice like a thunderclap boomed from afar, "Everyone, stop!"

At the same time,

A man in martial official armor slowly walked into the square from the crowd. He looked dignified and stern, "Elders, sparring is one thing, but please exercise some restraint. If someone dies, don't blame me, the Town Guard Commander, for being ruthless."

The Town Guard Commander of Ping'an Town—Lei Yangqiu.

One of the two Celestial Human families in Changning Garrison was the Huangfu family. The other was the Lei family.

Indeed.

Wang Shouzhe sighed inwardly but quickly accepted the reality. This was something he had already predicted.

The records of the great battle fifty years ago, though documented, were vague in many places. The attack by the fifth-stage ferocious beast had caused a beast disaster, and Zouxuan Old Ancestor had done his best to resist.

Changning Garrison should have provided swift support, but it was delayed.

The elders of the Liu and Zhao families had feigned death to escape, allowing two routes of ferocious beasts to enter, directly leading to the collapse of Zouxuan Old Ancestor's defenses. Was this just their own rebellion?

Two minor families, not even ranking among the ninth-grade families, dared to act like this. If not for someone secretly supporting them, they probably wouldn't have had the courage.

In the entire Changning Garrison region, who had the ability to support them? There were only a few families capable of such manipulation.

If we deduce based on who benefited, Wang Shouzhe secretly concluded that the most likely culprit was the Lei family of Changning.

There were two reasons: first, the Changning Lei family had the capability to do this, and second, the Town Guard Commander of Ping'an Town had always been a member of the Lei family or a family close to the Lei family.

However, Wang Shouzhe couldn't fully determine their ultimate motives. Another doubt was, if the Lei family was indeed the mastermind, why didn't they act themselves? Or why didn't they finish off the Wang family completely?

Instead, they allowed the Wang family to survive until today?

Many doubts remained unresolved, but today's scene, which Wang Shouzhe had designed, served two purposes: first, to severely damage the reputation of the Liu and Zhao families, preparing for the next step of his plan, and second, to test the bottom line of the Town Guard Commander.

The Town Guard Commander represented the extension and coverage of the Great Qian Empire's power. His intervention to stop the battle meant that if anyone continued to fight to the death, they would face severe consequences.

The four elders immediately stopped, but they remained in a standoff.

At this critical moment, Wang Shouzhe rushed over, supporting Wang Longyan's arm with concern, "Old Ancestor, are you okay? Has your injury not backfired?"

At the same time, he gently pinched Longyan Old Ancestor's arm, reminding her not to forget his prior instructions.

How could she just stand there motionless?

Longyan Old Ancestor was good in every way, but she was too straightforward.

After a moment of hesitation, Longyan Old Ancestor suddenly remembered Shouzhe's earlier instructions. Immediately, her slender body swayed, and she pressed her delicate hand to her forehead, unable to control the "Yin Sha Qi" within her.

"Spit!"

A mouthful of blood splattered onto her veil, turning it blood-red, a scene of great tragedy.

Her acting skills earned her only seven points from Wang Shouzhe; the blood spitting was too abrupt, with no warning. Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe was prepared and immediately called out, "Old Ancestor, I warned you repeatedly, why didn't you listen? If this continues, what will happen?"

"Old Ancestor, are you okay?" "Old Ancestor!"

The Wang family members rushed over, all extremely worried. Longyan Old Ancestor was the pillar of the family, and if anything happened to her, it would be disastrous.

"Wang Luojing, Wang Luqiu, quickly help Old Ancestor back to rest. I'll handle things here," Wang Shouzhe, acting as the clan leader, quickly arranged the necessary tasks.

During this time, Zhao Bojun and Liu Zhide were also shocked. Wang Longyan had been full of energy and fighting fiercely just moments ago. How could she suddenly lose control of her injuries?

Even the Town Guard Commander, who had come out to stop the battle to prevent Liu Zhide from being killed by Wang Longyan, looked bewildered. How did the situation suddenly change with his appearance?

"Wang Shouzhe greets the Town Guard Commander," Wang Shouzhe, with a grateful expression, bowed to Lei Yangqiu, "On behalf of the Wang family, I thank the Town Guard Commander for stepping in to uphold justice and preventing the Wang family from suffering a catastrophic disaster."

Lei Yangqiu's lips twitched; he almost couldn't respond. He cleared his throat and asked, "Clan Leader Wang, how is Old Ancestor Longyan's injury?"

"Alas, reporting to the Town Guard Commander," Wang Shouzhe sighed deeply, his face filled with sorrow and anger, "Old Ancestor's injury was showing signs of recovery, but unexpectedly, the Liu and Zhao families took the opportunity to provoke us, trying to suppress the Wang family. Old Ancestor had no choice but to use a secret technique from her sect to temporarily suppress her injuries and barely resist the enemy. If not for the Town Guard Commander's timely arrival to stop the Liu and Zhao families, Old Ancestor might have..."

At this point, Wang Shouzhe shuddered, as if still in fear, and bowed again to Lei Yangqiu, sincerely saying, "The great kindness of the Town Guard Commander to the Wang family will be remembered by Shouzhe, and we will repay it in the future."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhide felt extremely wronged. This kid was really good at twisting the facts. It was Wang Longyan who had been full of energy and shattered his purple-golden bowl. How did it become Liu Zhide's attack?

No, based on his understanding of Wang Longyan's injuries, healing them was almost impossible. Even selling the entire Wang family wouldn't be enough to cure her.

Could it be!?

Liu Zhide trembled. Had Wang Longyan really used a secret technique from the Purple Mansion Academy to temporarily suppress her injuries? A wave of regret washed over him.

If so, if he had just held on a bit longer, wouldn't Wang Longyan have collapsed on her own? No wonder she had attacked with all her might from the start. She was afraid she didn't have enough time.

Regret!

Why hadn't he held on a bit longer? By calling out Lei Yangqiu, he had inadvertently helped Wang Longyan.

At the same time,

Zhao Bojun and Lei Yangqiu also realized this. They stared at Liu Zhide, realizing that the great opportunity to make Wang Longyan collapse had been lost.

However, Lei Yangqiu, as the Town Guard Commander, remained stern, "Clan Leaders, Elders, the Great Qian law strictly prohibits feuds between families. If you have the strength, use it to kill ferocious beasts in the outer regions and contribute to humanity. Disperse now!"

He made the final decision, putting an end to the matter.

Before leaving, he glanced at Liu Zhide with dissatisfaction. The commotion had disgraced both families, and Wang Longyan had managed to escape by luck.

Today was a complete failure.

Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun, feeling regretful and somewhat embarrassed, decided to leave as soon as possible.

Just as they were about to leave,

Wang Shouzhe suddenly called out, "Wait! Today's matter isn't over yet."

Everyone's attention turned to him.

Lei Yangqiu frowned, displeased, "Clan Leader Wang, is there anything else? I've already said to disperse and end it here."

"Reporting to the Town Guard Commander," Wang Shouzhe bowed, calmly saying, "I have several heinous mass murder cases to report. Since everyone is here, let's settle them all at once."

Mass murder cases?

Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun's hearts sank. The situation today felt like they had fallen into one trap after another.

Before anyone could react, Wang Shouzhe waved his hand and shouted, "Third Uncle, present the evidence."

Wang Dingzhu, Wang Shouzhe's third uncle and the Deputy Town Guard Commander of Ping'an Town, led a group of soldiers from afar. He bowed solemnly, "Reporting to the Town Guard Commander, I have solved several heinous mass murder cases. We now have both witnesses and evidence. Please approve the execution of the criminals."

Looking at the faces of Lei Yangqiu, Liu Zhide, and Zhao Bojun,

Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but sneer. How could anyone come to the Wang family and leave as they pleased? This plan had been meticulously prepared, and he wouldn't let the Liu and Zhao families off easily.
