Chapter 2235: The Wang Family Defends Their Home! Inescapable Net (Part 4)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"I refuse to go." Chao Hongjun shamelessly declined, "First, the sea is your Dragon Whale’s domain. Second, your aura has clearly surpassed that of an ordinary Level Eleven Whale Dragon King and is advancing towards Level Twelve. I can’t defeat you."

Dragon Crystal was taken aback, not expecting him to refuse, and immediately retorted angrily, "Whether you fight or not is not up to you to pick and choose."

"Wang Shouzhe, does your Wang family have no one left?" Chao Hongjun ignored her, directly looking past Dragon Crystal at Wang Shouzhe with a mocking glance, "Do you rely on these fierce beasts and demon emperors for support? Are you hiding the Yuan Water Azure Dragon and Emperor Xiu from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom too? Your family itself is useless, but you sure know how to pull in reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe said nothing, but the eyes of the Wang clan members instantly burned with anger.

"Father, I request to fight." Wang Liyao, who had specially rushed back from the battlefield beyond the domain to support and determined to defend the family together, took a step forward, bowed to Wang Shouzhe, and requested to fight.

At this time, her Purple Abode Mysterious Energy was pure and condensed, her aura was magnificent, and it was evident that her cultivation base had reached the cusp of advancement. Perhaps her next retreat would see her breakthrough to the Divine Power Territory.

"Yao’er, you have not yet advanced to the Divine Power Territory. Fighting across two levels to challenge the Void Realm is somewhat difficult. Let me handle this battle first." At this moment, Old Ancestor Longyan’s voice suddenly came from the direction of Long Yan Habitat.

Before her words fell, her figure had already soared into the air, swiftly sweeping across the long distance like a shadow, gracefully arriving at the front.

She wore a veil, concealing her appearance, with only a pair of deep and indifferent cold eyes visible.

A white robe fluttered in the sky with her movements, cold and ethereal. Surrounding her were strands of Frost-Killing Air, cold and chilling, making her seem like a goddess on the summit of an icy peak, detached and transcendent, yet ready to cut through all hardships if necessary.

On her shoulder squatted a mini Ice Phoenix, lazily preening its beautiful feathers, precisely the miniature-sized Wang Anfeng.

"With the Old Ancestor stepping in, Yao’er has nothing to do." Wang Liyao observed the situation, realized the impossibility of going to battle, and retreated sensibly, once again standing by her father’s side.

"Who are you?"

Chao Hongjun scrutinized Old Ancestor Longyan, momentarily unclear about her identity, his face full of doubt.

A few moments later, he suddenly realized, exclaiming, "You, you, you are the Ice Phoenix Goddess, Wang Ruobing! How is that possible? She calls you Old Ancestor, could it be..."

"Indeed." Old Ancestor Longyan said indifferently, "My real name is Wang Longyan, and I am a member of the Great Drought of Changning Wang’s. Wang Ruobing is just one of my aliases."

"I see!" Chao Qingyun, who had been silent among the crowd, exclaimed, "It all makes sense now, why you appeared at the Immortal Three Base for joint operations, and how you obtained the respected one’s Dark True Demon Seed... Wang family! It’s the Wang family controlling everything behind the scenes!"

"It was the Wang family that disrupted the respected one’s plan and took away the Dark True Demon Seed!"

"That’s correct, it was indeed our Wang family." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "But you got one thing wrong, that Dark True Demon Seed was never your respected one’s."

Seeing that Chao Qingyun wanted to question further, the first Old Ancestor Chao Wujiu held up his hand to stop her, but shifted his gaze to Shentu Jingming, hidden within the crowd, coldly laughing, "They say the Crown Prince was a guest at the Wang’s. Could it be, he knew all along that Wang Ruobing was part of the Wang family?"

"Oh~ Chao Wujiu, you old fool, whether the Crown Prince knew or not, what does it matter to you?" Shentu Jingming, unafraid of trouble, when named, immediately stepped out from the crowd, retorting unpleasantly, "Besides, you knew the Crown Prince was here, yet you chose to act. I see you wanted to take me out as well."

Afterward, he indignantly spoke to Old Ancestor Longyan, "Ruobing, pay no heed to Chao Hongjun’s provocations. With your mere early-stage Divine Power Territory cultivation, fighting the Void Realm is impossible. I’ll get Elder Zhuo to act on your behalf and teach him a harsh lesson."

"No need, let me handle this rascal, lest he claims our Wang family is reliant on external assistance." Old Ancestor Longyan said calmly, "Chao Hongjun, the Eastern Sea is too crowded, let’s fight above Zhuwei Lake."

"Heh, early-stage Divine Power Territory." Chao Hongjun still smiled with narrowed eyes, but visible anger burned in them, "Alright, I do enjoy bullying the weak. This time, I’ll reclaim the Dark True Demon Seed for my Old Ancestor."

With that, his figure flickered and he appeared directly above Zhuwei Lake.

Old Ancestor Longyan similarly flickered, directly teleporting to linger above Zhuwei Lake, confronting Chao Hongjun from afar.

This time, however, she left the Ice Phoenix behind.

Wang Anfeng intended to flap its wings and follow but was caught by Wang Shouzhe’s hand, retrieved leisurely. As a joke, that little guy hadn’t reached Level Nine yet and would be offering itself on a platter if it went up.

"You understand Space Law as well?" Noticing Old Ancestor Longyan’s movement, Chao Hongjun’s face froze, his expression slightly more solemn, "Impressive. But merely relying on this is far from enough to let you fight above your level."

"This sword is named Condensing Frost."

Old Ancestor Longyan, with a wave of her jade hand, summoned an ice-colored longsword exuding intense coldness.

The longsword seemed entirely sculpted from ice crystals, the blade adorned with fine and intricate patterns, emanating an unfathomable aura that caused a shiver in one’s heart.

As the longsword appeared, an endless chill pervaded, rapidly freezing the surrounding atmosphere for miles. Snow-like frost began forming on surfaces, layer upon layer, instantly turning everything between heaven and earth into pristine, immaculate white.

"Half-immortal Artifact!" Chao Hongjun’s expression changed again, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Still not enough."

Though he said this, inwardly he was already cursing.

What the hell is this? Where did she get a Half-immortal Artifact?

Speaking of the Chao Clan, they naturally possessed Half-Step True Demon Weapons or Half-immortal Artifacts, and they owned as many as three of them. However, with so many powerful figures in the clan, they never made it to his turn.

"That certainly isn’t enough." Old Ancestor Longyan waved her slender hand once more, and a black coffin emanating a chilling aura appeared hovering before her.

"Bang!"

With a thunderous noise, the coffin lid exploded open, revealing a Demonic World Demonic King with skin like Xuan Iron clawing at the coffin edge and crawling up.

It was incredibly muscular, with skin as tough as Xuan Iron and exuding ominous Nether Qi, frigid and deathly still. Its back raised a pair of gray wings high, radiating vast and imposing pressure.

If anyone from the Immortal Three Base were present, they would instantly recognize this Demon King—it was the same Grey Wing Demon King who had perished at the hands of King Chaoyang in the past!

Yet now, the Grey Wing Demon King had transformed into a moving corpse.

Its cold gaze fixed on Chao Hongjun, terrifying aura pressing overwhelmingly toward him.

"Demon King-grade Corpse Puppet!"

Chao Hongjun cried out in shock, his legs growing soft, feeling slightly unstable.
