Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 898 - Thirty-Three: The Plan to Destroy the Clan! Shut the Door to Beat the Dog_2
Standing next to the Old Ancestor Xiaohan were the two brothers, Wang Shoulian and Wang Shouye.
Wang Shoulian was the sixth in the "Shou" generation, 86 years old this year, and his aptitude among the brothers was not particularly outstanding. He barely entered the ranks of Sky Pride with the aid of a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and a Bridal Clothes Blood Gu, which was considerably inferior compared to his sister, Wang Luoqiu.
Nevertheless, he had successfully broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm two years ago. Having honed himself in the military for many years, he lacked the gentleness of Wang Shouzhe and instead possessed a hint of murderous aura tinged with blood from the blade. His whole demeanor was like a sheathed longsword, by no means less imposing.
Compared to him, Wang Shouye exuded a much gentler temperament and appeared significantly younger.
His aptitude was slightly superior to Wang Shoulian’s, and aided by plentiful Dan medicines, his cultivation speed was also somewhat faster. He had successfully ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm five years ago.
Now 82 years old, he was no longer the reclusive otaku who would shun girls, but had become a mature, steady, and reliable alchemist.
Perhaps due to his years of alchemy, his temperament leaned more towards the scholarly and graceful, with a hint of bookishness amidst his elegance. Yet his gaze was calm and resolute, like pine and cypress trees, deeply-moving to the observer.
In the Wang family, the Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses were certainly not limited to these three, but with Wang Shouzhe intentionally hiding his strength, these three were the most well-known amongst outsiders, excluding the Old Ancestor Longyan.
Abroad, they represented the foundation and face of the Wang family.
Wang Shouzhe already had a formidable presence, and with these three diversely tempered Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses at his back, his strength appeared even more formidable.
"Dragon Leader of the Jiaolong Gang graces us with his presence — Shouzhe has failed to greet you from afar, please forgive my oversight."
Wang Shouzhe’s voice was not loud but traveled steadily over several miles to the flagship in the river, reaching the ears of the Jiaolong Gang’s elites.
His voice, neither light nor heavy, clear and steady, seemed as if he was conversing with the people on the ship right beside them.
Apart from Long Wuji, the other Jiaolong Gang elites’ expressions shifted slightly, showing a seriousness and wariness.
It was said that Wang Shouzhe was not yet a hundred years old, yet his Mysterious Energy appeared exceedingly rich and pure, manipulated with finesse.
Using Mysterious Energy to gather one’s voice was not particularly difficult, essentially a basic application of Mysterious Energy. However, had they attempted the same, they definitely couldn’t have achieved it as effortlessly and naturally as Wang Shouzhe.
Just from this alone, one could deduce that Wang Shouzhe’s strength was likely superior to theirs.
On the flagship, only Long Wuji remained unshaken, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, a gleam flickering across them.
He took a gulp from his small Qiankun wine pot and laughed loudly, "Shouzhe, Shouzhe, whether we are friends or foes right now, remains unclear. It still depends on whether Master Shouzhe can discern the bigger picture and not be blinded by immediate benefits, making mistakes, stepping wrong."
Long Wuji’s cultivation in Mysterious Energy, naturally, was stronger than Wang Shouzhe’s.
At this moment, his dominant Mysterious Energy enveloped Dingpu Ferry Terminal, his voice booming next to one’s ear like thunder, stirring awe in people’s hearts.
"Ping’an Town is my Wang family’s territory, where generations of the Shouzhe ancestors have lived," Wang Shouzhe’s voice was as smooth as jade, carrying an indescribable depth and steadiness, "Our Wang family’s ancestral teachings are such that those who come with goodwill are guests, whom we shall host with fine wine.
Those who come with ill intentions are foes, and are met with the Divine Might Cannon. Whether one is a friend or foe is not for me, Shouzhe, to decide."
Ancestral teachings?
Standing nearby, the Junior Clan Leader Wang Shizhao looked bewildered.
When had such teachings been part of our Wang family’s rules and traditions?
Well... it does make some sense though. Besides, his grandfather had already attained the status of an Old Ancestor, which naturally meant that his words were ancestral teachings.
He’d discuss adding it to the "Family Rules and Disciplines" with the elders afterward.
"Since it’s unclear whether we are friends or foes, I then surely cannot carelessly disembark," Long Wuji’s voice sounded, "Why not have Master Shouzhe come aboard my ’Jiaolong,’ and we drink a little wine together and chat about the potential joys of life ahead? If we agree, we can be brothers from here on.

If not, I’ll take you back to Dingpu Port, and then we truly fight, deciding who obeys whom through battle."
Long Wuji’s voice brimmed with robust confidence. This confidence came not only from his own Purple Abode Realm cultivation but also from the collective combat strength of the Jiaolong Gang.
The Jiaolong Gang boasted a dozen Heavenly Human Realm warriors, one to two hundred Spiritual Platform Realm elite leaders, and thousands of Qi Refinement men — none of whom were merely a mob. They were all trained to standards of elite navy, skilled in coordinated combat and tactical formations.
Especially in naval warfare, the Jiaolong Gang was exceedingly confident.
As for those Divine Might Cannons, their power was indeed remarkable. But even so, how could they possibly withstand the assault of the formidable Jiaolong Gang?
Facing Long Wuji’s blatant threat, the faces of the Wang family members turned sour. That man was too arrogant; this was sheer coercion.
"Heh~Dragon Leader, are you by any chance planning to trample on the laws of Daqian?" Wang Shouzhe still remained composed, smiling as he replied, "My Changning Wang family is a Rank Six Prominent Family personally decreed by His Majesty, tasked with the duty of protecting the land and the people.
Should you dare attack a local Prominent Family, setting aside the matter of victory or defeat, would you, as the leader, really end well?"
