Chapter 1584: Chapter 95 Wang Shouzhe! You Heartless Thing (Vote for Monthly Pass)_2

"We will definitely win." Yao Yuangang clenched his beloved wife’s hand and spoke calmly, "The rivers and mountains always produce talented people. Nowadays, more and more formidable young talents are emerging. Once they grow up, we humans will gradually seize the upper hand."

For a moment, neither of them spoke again.

Only the sound of the river rushing past and the noise from the large ships on its surface echoed on the wind, lingering ceaselessly.

At this moment.

A warm yet resolute voice suddenly sounded from behind them: "Wang Shouzhe of the Changning Wang Clan welcomes Your Highness King Chaoyang and Lady Chaoyang to our Wang family. My failure to greet you earlier, I beg your forgiveness."

The King and Lady Chaoyang turned around, their interest piqued as they scrutinized Wang Shouzhe.

With the powerful strength of two people at the Transcendent Void Realm, it was naturally impossible for them not to have noticed Wang Shouzhe approaching. In fact, they had sensed his flying carriage long before it got near.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe was standing not far behind them, his posture upright like jade, radiating gentle elegance.

The river breeze caressed his snow-white robe, which fluttered slightly as the resplendent evening glow shone upon him, casting a halo of light that added a layer of noble charm to his bearing. He seemed as otherworldly as a celestial being, hardly like a mortal.

In both appearance and demeanor, Wang Shouzhe was truly an outstanding figure of the human race.

Moreover, compared to the equally striking Wang Anye in terms of looks and temperament, Wang Shouzhe possessed an indescribable calmness.

"Shouzhe, you arrived quickly and at just the right time," King Chaoyang chuckled. "I suppose the whereabouts of my wife and me on this journey could not have escaped your notice."

"I beg Your Highness for forgiveness." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands again, his smile calm as he replied, "Our Wang family has crossed paths with the Demon Lord Xietong of the Red Moon Demon Dynasty. To guard against spies from the Demonic Dynasty, it is only natural for us to be more vigilant in intelligence matters."

In truth, Wang Anye and Fugui had stirred up quite a commotion while traveling in the Immortal Dynasty. Although Wang Shouzhe had not accompanied them, was there anything he was unaware of? As for the King and Lady Chaoyang coming as guests, Wang Shouzhe had long been notified. How could he possibly fail to know of their arrival in his domain?

Indeed, if Wang Shouzhe’s control over his territory had truly been so lax, Emperor Longchang wouldn’t have repeatedly lambasted him as an "Earth Emperor who rules with an iron fist."

"Demon Lord Xietong, huh? A troublesome character," King Chaoyang frowned. "Even at the peak of my power, I wouldn’t dare claim I could stop him."

"Please don’t concern yourself with that matter, Your Highness." Wang Shouzhe smiled faintly, his tone composed. "As for dealing with Demon Lord Xietong, I already have a comprehensive plan. Your Highness and Lady Chaoyang are guests invited by Anye to our Wang family for healing. Laying aside your worries and focusing on recuperation is truly the right way."

This brief speech left King Chaoyang visibly impressed.

Wang Shouzhe was indeed unfathomable. Compared to Wang Anye’s innocence and simplicity, Wang Shouzhe, though merely two centuries old, exuded an air of effortless control, as though holding sway over all matters.

"If Master Shouzhe truly manages to eliminate Demon Lord Xietong, it will be a monumental achievement. Even the Immortal Emperor will surely bestow honors," King Chaoyang remarked, "If our assistance is needed, please don’t hesitate to ask, Shouzhe."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands. "The Peace River air is quite chilly, so may I invite Your Highness and Lady Chaoyang to move to the main residence of our Wang family."

"As you wish. We’ll follow your arrangements," King Chaoyang agreed graciously, showing no undue airs in front of Wang Shouzhe as they boarded his flying carriage and headed toward the Wang family’s Stay Immortal Residence.

Here was where the core of the Wang family’s large Spirit Gathering Array lay, also the long-term residence of the Life Tree, Li Xian. The area was rich in spiritual energy, imbued with faint traces of Immortal Spirit Qi, making it an ideal place for cultivation and healing.

Even before the flying carriage touched down, King Chaoyang could already sense the dense spiritual energy. He couldn’t help but praise, "This Spirit Gathering Array is truly a grand undertaking. The Wang family certainly has a solid foundation!"

Indeed, the Spirit Gathering Array was no small feat. With Enlightened Tianhe, Emperor Longchang, Old Yao, as well as the occasional Enlightened One from Lingyun Holy Ground cooperating in its construction, all manner of top-grade and supreme-grade Spirit Veins had been continuously integrated into its design.

At this point, the array was no less impressive than those in the Sacred Land. Not to mention the Life Tree Immortal Seed, Li Xian, which served as the Formation Eye to stabilize it further.

As Wang Shouzhe’s exclusive flying carriage steadied to a halt, a light scoff echoed from within Stay Immortal Residence: "Wang Shouzhe, you finally deigned to visit me? Let me tell you, this injury is work-related..."

"Your Majesty, look who’s here!"

Wang Shouzhe glanced at Stay Immortal Residence without much fuss, then invited the King and Lady Chaoyang off the carriage with a smile.

Realizing something was amiss, Emperor Longchang dashed out of Stay Immortal Residence in a flash. Recognizing the King and Lady Chaoyang, he was startled, exclaiming, "Isn’t this King Chaoyang and Brother Yuangang? What brings you here?"

"Longchang." King Chaoyang seemed to be in good spirits at meeting an old acquaintance, grinning as he teased, "I thought you’d be close to dying of old age by now, but I see you’re still lively and energetic. By the way, when are you planning to pay back the money you owe me?"

"That..."

Caught off guard by the sudden demand for repayment, Emperor Longchang’s face was momentarily awkward.

However, Emperor Longchang’s thick skin quickly prevailed. Barely missing a beat, he shamelessly turned to Wang Shouzhe, "Shouzhe, settle the debt I owe King Chaoyang for me later, okay? It’s not much, just around ten million Immortal Crystals..."

"Why should I settle the debt Your Majesty owes?" Wang Shouzhe was taken aback by his audacity. "Shouldn’t the Daqian National Treasury handle this?"

"These are entirely my personal debts. How could I let the national treasury pay? Although the treasury is a bit more robust nowadays, our Daqian is currently thriving and requires funds in many critical areas," Emperor Longchang said with an air of righteousness. "Besides, aren’t I practically one of your own now? I’ve bled for the Wang family and suffered injuries on your behalf... You’re so wealthy, Shouzhe. If you don’t pay, who will?"

"Alright, alright. I wasn’t serious about collecting the money. Besides, I know you spent it on national defense, indirectly contributing to the human race," King Chaoyang said, half-exasperated, half-amused. "And you, you rotten old man, stop picking on someone as upright as Shouzhe."

"Upright?"

Emperor Longchang stared at Wang Shouzhe, then back at King Chaoyang, looking utterly incredulous as if he’d just heard the most absurd statement. frёeωebɳovel.com

King Chaoyang, are you getting so old that your eyesight’s failing?

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with Stay Immortal Residence’s environment?" Wang Shouzhe ignored Emperor Longchang entirely, instead politely addressing King Chaoyang.

"Very satisfied, very satisfied. The name Stay Immortal Residence carries an excellent meaning too," King Chaoyang replied cheerfully. "To recover in such a paradise on earth, what more could I ask for?"

"What? Hold on a second!" Emperor Longchang looked utterly shocked, his expression reminiscent of a hamster caught in the act of hoarding seeds. "If Yun Fengwei and his wife live here, then where do I live?"

"Your Majesty, I see your injuries aren’t particularly serious," Wang Shouzhe smiled at him. "His Highness and Lady Chaoyang have sacrificed too much for the human race in their lifetime. They genuinely need a proper place to recuperate. Please don’t cause trouble—just move outside for now."

Emperor Longchang was so infuriated he swayed slightly on his feet, shouting, "Good for you, Wang Shouzhe! You’d stoop this low just to curry favor with King Chaoyang? I always knew you were a self-serving opportunist. Now that you’ve found a better backer, you start treating me with disdain... Don’t forget, I’ve bled for the Wang family. I won’t leave—I’ll stay right here—"

Before he could finish, King Chaoyang grabbed him by the collar and unceremoniously hurled him out.

The move was so swift that Emperor Longchang became a mere streak in the sky within a blink, leaving a vivid trail through the clouds.

Even while soaring through the air, Emperor Longchang’s curses directed at Wang Shouzhe rang out faintly but persistently, carried by the wind.

"Wang Shouzhe! You heartless scoundrel!"

"You’ve found new friends and forgotten old ones!"

"You’re ruthless, you’re cold..."
