Protect Our Clan Leader

"It's not easy, truly not easy." Sun Yaowu's eyes welled up with tears, feeling a sense of rebirth after disaster, "Quick, go fish! I want to eat fish!"

...

The departure of the dragon whale pod was naturally due to an order from the Whale Dragon King, Dragon Crystal. As for why such an order was given, it naturally came from a hint by Wang Shouzhe.

Sun Yaowu is the princely heir of the Summer Palace. If he were to die, the Summer Palace would undoubtedly stir up turmoil, and in their investigation, the Wang family would inevitably get entangled in trouble.

On the contrary, if Sun Yaowu does not die, although the loss of the Kunmu Giant Vessel is significant, it is not unbearable for the Summer Palace, and the intensity of the investigation would naturally be lighter. Furthermore, the Summer Palace is not monolithic. This time, not only did Sun Yaowu fail to kill Princess Haige, but he also lost a Kunmu Giant Vessel and eight Three Eyes Treasure Ships. Such a significant oversight is not something easily borne, even as a princely heir.

Such an opportunity and leverage delivered to the doorstep naturally won't be easily overlooked. As long as Sun Yaowu returns, plenty will take the initiative to target him.

At that time, Wang Shouzhe won't have to do anything to make the Summer Palace preoccupied with its own issues.

As for what Sun Yaowu claimed, being besieged by Yuan Shui Azure Dragon and the dragon whale pod, or attacked by Tianji Continent's fleet... what does that have to do with the Wang family?

The Wang family, after all, is just an ordinary Grade Four prominent family in the little remote country of Dongqian~

Of course, those are matters for later, so let's not dwell on them for now.

At present, with the conclusion of the Wang Shouzhe team's journey through the Demonic Dynasty ruins, Green Immortal Island, under the escort of the dragon whale pod and the fleet, is leisurely making its way toward Da Qian.

And this journey is obviously going to take some time.

Meanwhile.

Immortal Palace.

The purpose and significance of the Immortal Palace are quite extensive. Besides assisting and supervising the operation of the Immortal Court and selecting outstanding individuals from the world to inherit legacies, it also bears the significant responsibility of protecting the human race.

As the battles in the extraterritorial battlefield grow increasingly tense, the main body of the Principal of the Immortal Palace spends most of the time stationed at the extraterritorial battlefield.

Currently, the one presiding over the greater situation in the Immortal Palace is merely an energy projection of the Immortal Supreme's consciousness in a semi-dormant normalized state. Usually in slumber ready mode, it will be activated anytime when an incident beyond the resolution of other True Monarchs occurs, bringing its consciousness down.

And this energy projection, although entirely composed of energy, is a complete consciousness embodiment of the True Immortal superior, meaning only one complete consciousness exists at a time.

Hence, the arrival of the projection is regarded as the superior's personal visit. Apart from the combat ability being somewhat lacking, there are no other flaws.

Lately, the Immortal Supreme's consciousness frequently stays within this projection in the Immortal Palace because an esteemed little guest has arrived at his private residence—a guest from Da Qian, Princess Hua Rui.

Ordinarily, an imperial princess from the base camp visiting the Immortal Palace could not possibly earn the honor of being personally hosted by the Immortal Supreme.

But how could Princess Hua Rui be just anyone?

This little princess is a reincarnation of a True Immortal, boasting extraordinary bloodline.

Although her origins are not yet known, in her previous life, she was at least a big figure of the same level as the Immortal Supreme. Even if she does not become a True Immortal in this life, she is at least going to be a mid-late stage Transcendent Void Realm big shot, one of the human race's pillars.

As a top-tier figure in human race combat power, the Immortal Supreme naturally places great importance on such a level of young human generation, providing as much care and support as possible.

Firstly, it is considered for the overall future development of the human race; secondly, this kind of True Immortal reincarnation will gradually awaken some memories and cultivation techniques stored in the True Spirit during their growth process.

These are indeed the memories of the True Immortal superior, invaluable as they provide important references for reconstructing historical truth and completing the cultivation methods of the True Immortal Realm. Even if they contain merely fragments of experience to share and exchange, the Immortal Supreme may also spark wisdom from it, greatly benefiting his self-cultivation.

After all, at the level of the True Immortal Realm, one has already reached the current pinnacle of human beings, and those with whom one can exchange insights have become very scarce.

The path of cultivation becomes more challenging, more arduous, and lonelier the higher one goes.

Having been passed down for tens of thousands of years, the Line of the Immortal Emperor and the Line of the Immortal Honored One are already too familiar with each other, and the parts for exchange have already been exchanged in the past tens of thousands of years.

Having a new True Immortal reincarnation, although the Immortal Supreme complains, he is indeed inwardly delighted.

Therefore, he specifically arranged for Hua Rui to stay in the guest courtyard of his private residence, Lingxuan Residence, and assigned two clever female disciples for daily care, meeting whatever requirements possible.

However, the Immortal Supreme soon regretted it.

Ever since Hua Rui settled in the guest courtyard, Wang Licui, Wang Ying Xuan, and Lan Wanyi frequently use the excuse of visiting relatives to come over to see Hua Rui, and then just freeload at the Immortal Supreme's residence, accompanying Hua Rui in taking advantage of food and drinks.

With Hua Rui's identity, there would naturally be appropriate treatment, eating celestial rice, Level Eleven spirit meat, and top-notch spirit tea and fruit, but as a Vital Energy Refining Realm, how much could she even eat? Celestial rice is counted by grains, and spirit meat is eaten in pieces the size of a fingernail.

But those freeloading bunch are different, each one is a food barrel, especially Wang Licui, a massive food barrel, even the former "first food barrel" of the Immortal Palace, True Monarch Yuan Yuan, has stepped aside.
