Protect Our Clan Leader

A Great Heavenly Proud? Fighting against someone at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Human Realm?

Huangfu Feifei’s expression froze, seemingly surprised, but after a few moments, her eyes lit up: "So it’s a Great Heavenly Proud, no wonder he’s so boastful. I’m in my twenties and I’ve never seen a Great Heavenly Proud... This time, I’ll accompany you to Longzuo Academy, and take the opportunity to witness the strength of a Great Heavenly Proud. Wanqiu, when are you going back to Longzuo Academy?"

"Ah, I’m returning to the academy after the auction. If you want to accompany me, go ahead, but don’t cause any trouble." Mo Wanqiu sighed.

She knew Huangfu Feifei wasn’t someone who would settle for tranquility, that’s why she had been reluctant to tell her the truth. She was very aware that although Feifei was powerful, there was still a significant gap between her and Miss Li Yao.

"After the auction? Wanqiu, did you set your eyes on some treasure?" Huangfu Feifei asked curiously.

Mo Wanqiu hesitated slightly, then said seriously: "My father has already convinced the Elder Council, who decided to use the clan’s saved funds to bid on the Spirit Communication Treasure Pill for me, to help me enhance my Heavenly Arrogance Bloodline."

"In theory, our clan’s development is far from reaching the stage of cultivating a Purple Abode Realm, and having a Heavenly Proud is also a waste. But my father believes that if I can become a Heavenly Proud, I can possibly become a follower of Miss Li Yao.

Having a Great Heavenly Proud as the lord, our Southern Desert Mo family can indeed find some support, making some ambitious parties a little more cautious. Furthermore, being a disciple of the academy, with the treatment of a Heavenly Proud and the support of the clan’s resources, I can pave the way for the clan to reach the Purple Abode level earlier.

After considering these factors, the clan feels it’s worth the gamble."

"The Spirit Communication Treasure Pill, that’s an invaluable item." Huangfu Feifei’s eyes sparkled, "It’s a pity, though, that it’s too expensive, and its effect on my bloodline is limited. Wanqiu, I didn’t expect your Mo family to have accumulated such a huge amount of funds while swiftly developing…"

The larger the scale of the clan, the larger the income each year, but also the larger the expenses. Under huge expenditures, the amount of funds clans could save each year was not a lot, and furthermore, these funds could not be easily used. They often had to be preserved for major events like transitions of Heavenly Humans or the Purple Abode period.

"Spirit Communication Treasure Pill." In Mo Wanqiu’s eyes, a hint of excitement and fascination emerged, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and she muttered under her breath, "Miss Li Yao, I must, I must not let you down again."

...

Time flew.

Another few days passed in a flash.

During these days, it is noticeable that the county town of the Southern Desert County became increasingly bustling. Many representatives from surrounding counties, like Wang Shouzhe, began to arrive one after another.

These prominent family representatives, the least prominent among them, were from Rank Six Prominent Families, and moreover, they were not the weak types that only had three Heavenly Humans.

From such standards, the grade of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion auction could be seen.

The Changning Wang Clan is probably the only 7th-rank Aristocratic Family this time.

Soon, the day of the auction at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion arrived.

On this day.

The sky was bright and clear, cloudless.

The Southern Desert region was high in altitude and dry in climate, rarely gathering water vapor in the sky. Hence, it was rare to see clouds. On clear days, the sky was thoroughly blue, like a gemstone, possessing a breathtakingly beautiful aesthetic.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion was located under this patch of sky, occupying a large area in the northern part of the town on its own.

Different from the commonly seen low buildings in the Southern Desert region, the height of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was significantly higher than the surrounding buildings, and it was even more magnificent, standing out like a crane among the flock of chickens.

Today was the day of the auction, and the interior and exterior of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion were newly decorated, looking even more grand than usual, fully exhibiting the special status of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

On this day, Wang Shouzhe and others arrived at the auction venue early.

In such a high-level auction, of course, each prominent family was assigned a private box.

The Changning Wang Clan and the Southern Desert Wang Clan, one a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family and the other a 5th-rank Aristocratic Family, did not come from the same region, so naturally they were separated into different boxes.

As an "accompanying servant", Wang Shihai shared a box with Wang Shouzhe, Elder Longyan, and the Heavenly Human Realm puppet Wang Shuzhu.

The reputation of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was grand, and this auction sought to display its depth and power. Besides the "Limitless Treasure Pill," the items they auctioned this time also included the "Spirit Communication Treasure Pill," which was essential for attaining the Purple Abode Realm. Its value was even higher than the Limitless Treasure Pill.

In any case, the items brought out by Hundred Treasures Pavilion for this auction were quite attractive. Each Prominent Family had something they desired. Although the Limitless Treasure Pill was precious and magical, it was not something each Prominent Family wanted.

As Wang Shouzhe and others settled down, the other families also arrived one by one.

The families qualified to participate in this auction were nearly all Overlord-level families ruling over certain areas.

If it were not for Wang Shouzhe’s strong ability to make money and even stronger ability to spend it, the Changning Wang Clan might not have been qualified to participate in the auction.

"Fourth Grandpa, that comes from the Wang Clan of Lingbei, a Rank Six Prominent Family." Wang Shihai, who started on a high platform and had quite extraordinary insight, introduced to Wang Shouzhe, "Although we both have the surname Wang, the Wang Clan of Lingbei has no relation to our Great Qian Wang Clan."

Wang Shouzhe nodded secretly; he had also heard about the Wang Clan of Lingbei. Once, he had made up a name called "Wang Teng" on the spot, pretending to be a member of the Lingbei Wang Clan at an auction.

"That’s the Cao Family from Liaoyuan, the Fifth Grade Purple Abode Family of Liaoyuan County. This family’s foundation is profound and not to be underestimated. They have the potential to attack the Rank Four Prominent Family." Wang Shihai introduced another group of people.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe took a few more glances at the box on the side.

The Sky Pride Cao Youqing, who had a grudge with the Wang Clan previously, belonged to the Liaoyuan Cao Family.

As for Cao Youqing, he never gave up tracking and investigating him as he instinctively judged that Cao Youqing should be a proud person, and would most likely not let it go after suffering a great loss in the Wang Clan.

"Eh? The Gongye Clan from Tiance also came?" Wang Shihai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then introduced, "The Gongye Clan excels in Artifact Refining. The famous ’Tiangong Workshop’ is the property of the Third-class Da Qian Gongye Clan. However, the Gongye Clan of Tiance is only of Fifth Grade and therefore a branch of the Da Qian Gongye Clan."

The Gongye Clan?

Wang Shouzhe squinted his eyes. That was a family with a lot of money.

Recalling the past, he had spent eight hundred thousand just to repair a Celestial being’s Puppet in the "Tiangong Workshop".

"That’s the Zuoqiu Clan from Qing’an!"

Suddenly, Wang Shihai widened his eyes, his voice filled with surprise.

"The Zuoqiu Clan is a Rank Four Prominent Family. In Qingan Prefecture it almost monopolizes power. Could it be that their target is also the ’Spirit Communication Treasure Pill’?"

This time, the Southern Desert Wang Clan’s goal was to bid for the "Spirit Communication Treasure Pill," a resource prepared for the Purple Abode Seed, Wang Dingxin, decades in advance for his ascension.

After all, ascension to the Purple Abode Realm is a big deal. Gather resources decades in advance is the norm.

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly. He had also heard of the famous Zuoqiu Clan from Qing’an Prefecture. Qing’an Prefecture was a vital artery of Da Qian, opened up early and with a long history, it was truly not to be underestimated.

He focused his attention on a few members of the Zuoqiu Clan.

The leader was a young gentleman who looked very young. He was dressed in luxury, wearing a Jade Crown, sword footwear, with a sword hanging around his waist, and his handsome face exuded nobility.

However, his glances seemed somewhat arrogant, and when scanning the whole scene, there was a slight trace of disdain.

Clearly, this young man’s status in the Zuoqiu Clan was probably not low.

Behind him, two elderly men dressed in magnificent clothes guarded both sides. They were tall and imposing, with an extraordinary demeanor, their cultivation of Mysterious energy was as unfathomable as a thousand-year cold pool.
