Protect Our Chief

Chapter 1085 - 73: Wang Family! Everyone’s a Hidden Expert

...Elder Xin could hardly believe it; with his strength, someone actually managed to intrude into his sensory range so effortlessly.

Elder Xin, full name "Wu Zhongxin."

He is one of the few geniuses discovered by Prince Dexin from among the household generals, eventually reaching the Purple Mansion Realm.

Even for those from the imperial family and nobility, reaching the Purple Mansion Realm is not easy. A person’s temperament, willpower, and the allocation of family resources pose numerous visible and invisible thresholds. Even the imperial family would not squander precious resources recklessly.

For Wu Zhongxin to start from a humble household general and step by step reach the Purple Mansion Realm, and even cultivate to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, how extraordinary is that?

With such talent, perseverance, and drive, if he were a descendant of Prince Dexin, he might have had the chance to become a Great Celestial Pride, another prince.

It’s a pity.

No matter the world, the technique of choosing one’s birth is crucial.

But even so, Elder Xin’s status within Prince Dexin’s lineage is not low; even various princes must address him as Elder Xin when they see him.

Out of love and support for Prince Kang, when he was still young, Prince Dexin had always let Elder Xin accompany him, guiding his growth.

Therefore, even Prince Kang places great trust in him, exceeding the trust he has in Princess Consort Zhao Yijing.

Such a person is naturally not ordinary.

In just a few breaths, Elder Xin composed himself, sitting steadily in the flying chariot, calmly saying, "May I ask who you are? What is your relationship with the Wang Family? I advise you not to get involved with the Wang Family, to avoid..."

However, before he could finish his sentence.

"Boom!"

A formidable force surged forth, instantly smashing the luxurious flying chariot into pieces.

The body of the chariot, made of precious spirit wood, shattered into countless fragments, with various expensive adornments flying in all directions. Even the two Tier Six Peak Dragon Eagles that pulled the chariot screeched and broke free, scared out of their wits.

Elder Xin’s expression changed; he immediately flipped mid-air, activating his protective gang qi to block the debris of the chariot.

After all, he is a mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm expert. The attack wasn’t even aimed at him, so even in a hurry, he didn’t appear disheveled, but his face was extremely grim.

This flying chariot was Prince Kang’s favorite, crafted entirely from lightweight yet sturdy spirit wood, and was very costly, containing many valuable collectibles.

Its total value exceeded several million Qian Gold!

This time, coming to Changning Guard, they had even removed Prince Kang’s insignia to remain inconspicuous. Yet unexpectedly, it was destroyed in one move.

In the clouds, moonlight dimly shone.

Sometime unnoticed, a figure appeared in the sky.

The figure wore a simple long home-dress, with a modest appearance yet exuding an extraordinary natural nobility. Strands of spiritual rhyme surrounded her, enhancing her remarkable aura, appearing more elegant than the peony, more pristine than the moon.

Even more striking than her aura was her overwhelming power, surging like a tide.

As she approached, her vast power swept in like raging waves, causing the entire night sky to change tumultuously.

At this moment, even the moonlight in the high sky seemed to become merely her backdrop.

Needless to say, this woman was naturally Liua Ruolan.

"You come to the Changning Wang Family to plunder without even investigating me?" Liua Ruolan spoke calmly, her expression serene, but a cold anger radiated from her eyes.

"You are...?" Elder Xin’s pupils narrowed sharply, revealing disbelief, "You, you, you... you are Mrs. Wang, Liua Ruolan? How is it possible, how can you be so powerful?!"

In his concept, Liua Ruolan should be less than a hundred years old. At that age, the Liua Family managing to barely enter the Celestial Human Realm would already be due to the Wang Family’s wealth.

But what did he see? Clearly, this Liua was still in the Celestial Human Realm, yet he felt a vague pressure from her.

This Changning Wang Family, to what extent had it hidden its strength?

"Have you finished marveling?" Liua Ruolan said coldly, "If you’re done, then have a seat down there."

"Arrogant! So what if your Wang family hid its strength? You, a mere Celestial Human Realm, think you can take me down?" Wu Zhongxin’s brow twitched, but he instantly calmed down.

He lifted his right hand, and a simple purple-gold spear suddenly appeared in his palm, exuding an imposing aura.

Though he couldn’t wield divine power spirit treasures, he was, after all, a top old household general, meant to accompany the young master to build merits on the battlefield. Thus, his spear also counted as a high-quality Purple Mansion Treasure Artifact, with considerable power.

As the spear entered his hand, his whole body shook, a powerful aura unique to a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator surged from him, and a giant wolf-shaped dharma aspect appeared behind him, causing his momentum to soar dramatically!

At the same time, his gaze turned sharp and fierce.

The spear tip casually flicked, condensing a stream of Geng Metal Profound Qi that whistled towards Liua Ruolan.

The spear, among weapons, is known for its dominance.

Elder Xin’s combat prowess was tempered by the flames of war, far superior to those family ancestors who rarely engaged in combat, mainly guarding the family. The moment he struck, it was overwhelming, and even the profound qi resonating from the spear seemed infused with the iron-blooded evil qi of a battlefield’s killing general.
