Chapter 609 55: The General Trend! Where Will the Wang Family Go 3

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Fortunately, thanks to his early awakening as a Great Heavenly Proud and his possession of an Unseen Wood Spiritual Body, his capacity to withstand pressure far exceeds that of a typical Spirit Platform Realm cultivator. If not, he might have embarrassed himself on the spot.

At that moment.

The little fox that had been curled up at Wang Shouzhe’s feet felt the pressure of the Purple Abode Realm powerhouse and woke with a start, "Which lowlife dares to disturb my slumber..."

She cut herself off mid-sentence, sensing that something was off. Her gaze instantly focused on Long Wuji, with the narrowed eyes of the fox filled with intense lights, "How dare you bully my brother Shouzhe?!"

While she spoke, her body had already begun to expand wildly.

In the blink of an eye, a massive crimson monster-fox appeared in the pavilion, shielding Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zong’an from any harm.

This is the Fire Fox Old Ancestor in all its glory.

Seven crimson fox tails flared and danced behind her, resembling a chaotic dance of demons. The overwhelming Purple Abode Realm pressure spread out, ferocious and domineering, effectively dispelling Long Wuji’s pressure.

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zong’an both heaved a sigh of relief.

"The Seven-tailed Fire Fox?" There was a momentary pause in Long Wuji’s expression, his eyes flashed with a hint of wariness, "The Fire Fox Old Ancestor of the Yuwen Clan from Longzuo? What are you doing here? Don’t tell me, your Yuwen Clan is planning to oppose my Jiaolong Gang as well?"

However, Wang Shouzhe spoke up jovially, "The boss must not misunderstand. My relationship with the Fire Fox Old Ancestor is a personal one. The Yuwen Clan will not intervene in the friction between the Jiaolong Gang and my Wang family. They will remain neutral in the future, you can rest assured."

In this world, there are countless families with lineages dating back hundreds, even thousands of years.

Therefore, to such a family, continuity is paramount, even more so than development.

It’s for this reason that most of these families tend to be cautious and conservative in their approach.

Without necessity, no family would be willing to wage war casually against others.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe found it comprehensible and didn’t blame the Yuwen Clan for their decision to remain neutral. After all, if he were in their shoes, he might very well have made the same choice.

"The Yuwen Clan might choose to stay neutral, but I, as the Old Ancestor, do not need to listen to them." The Seven-tailed Fire Fox spoke with a haughty air, "In short, anyone who dares to bully my brother Shouzhe, I will fight them."

The constant reference to "brother Shouzhe" unnerved Long Wuji and made his skin crawl. He thought to himself, when you, the Fire Fox Old Ancestor, had made a name, I, Long Wuji was still a child... what’s with the pretense of being timid here?

However, the combat strength of any Spirit Beast Fierce Beast is typically stronger than a Profound Martial Cultivator of the same level. Even a veteran of the Purple Abode Realm like Long Wuji, who had honed his skills for hundreds of years, could not predict the outcome if he were to compete against the Fire Fox Old Ancestor.

As a result, his plan to suppress the Wang family through the use of the Purple Abode Realm Cultivator’s strength had been thwarted.

"Haha~~ Shouzhe, my younger brother, I was just teasing you before." Long Wuji, being a domineering figure, immediately withdrew his Purple Abode Realm powerhouse aura and laughed heartily as if nothing had happened, "I would like to ask you, why are you willing to cooperate with the Qian Family, yet you refuse to accept my proposal?"

How quickly he had changed his address! In the blink of an eye, he had switched back to "younger brother Shouzhe!"

Seeing Long Wuji wisely back off, the Seven-tailed Fire Fox finally stopped acting aggressive and ready for a fight. She reduced her size, turned back into a tiny, exquisite fox, and obediently squatted down next to Wang Shouzhe’s feet.

"Sigh~" Wang Shouzhe sighed, adding, "Long, my older brother, with your extravagant and unrestrained personality, I really do want to connect with you. But, as I’ve said before, my Wang family is small and peaceful, and we just desire to live in tranquility. Some whirlpools are just too deep, and our tiny Wang family ship couldn’t handle such turmoil."

Long Wuji first paused at Wang’s words, then quickly reacted with his eyes narrowing, saying with interest, "I never expected younger brother Shouzhe to be so sharp. It makes me see you in a different light. Tell me, how did you find out?"

Wang Shouzhe smiled bitterly, "I didn’t expect to hit the nail on the head."

"You tested me?"

Long Wuji’s eyes immediately narrowed, revealing a dangerous light.

Wang Shouzhe instantly stood up and said with neither haste nor sluggishness, "Long, my older brother, please forgive me. I previously had suspicions, but only held about seventy percent confidence. However, considering the gravity of the situation, I did not dare to conclude lightly and therefore tested you. I did not intend to offend."

"Oh?"

This intrigued Long Wuji even more.

He thought Wang Shouzhe was merely bluffing, only to find he actually held a seventy percent assurance. Now, Long Wuji was genuinely curious~

He thought he had kept this matter well concealed, and was surprised at how Wang Shouzhe had discovered it.

He tapped the table once: "Younger brother, tell the truth, where did I give myself away?"

Wang Shouzhe understood that given Long Wuji’s focus on this matter, he surely wouldn’t allow him to gloss over it.

After sitting back down, he explained in detail, "Actually, it’s not that you gave yourself away. It’s just that the situation has reached a point where anyone can see it. I just happened to notice it a little earlier than most."

"Explain in detail."

Long Wuji didn’t believe it to be that simple.

"Since the older brother wants to know, I dare not conceal it." Wang Shouzhe casually sat back down and organized his words, "Longzuo County is a frontier region, and since it has only been exploited for a mere one thousand years, the friction between the prominent families isn’t severe. Thus, its development over the years has been relatively smooth, with few major structural shifts.

However, in recent years, I’ve noticed that the situation in Longzuo has started to change."
