Protect Our Clan Leader

"Cough, cough!"

Wang Shouzhe cleared his throat, interrupting the high-ranking officials' gambling session: "Gentlemen, the King of Zhennan has been found. When he fell into the water, he was fortunately spotted by a boat led by our Wang Luomiao, who promptly rescued him. Upon receiving a message from the Spirit Bird, Luomei immediately used the flying carriage on board to bring him back. Based on the time calculation, it should take no more than half a day to arrive."

"Bring him back?" King Chaoyang frowned slightly, "That kid Yun Xiayang is in the Transcendent Void Realm. Can't he fly back himself over such a short distance?"

"Your Highness, you might not be aware." Wang Shouzhe's expression turned slightly serious, "Luomei's message returned first, stating that the King of Zhennan's condition is not good. He has been in a semi-conscious state, occasionally murmuring incomprehensible words. Moreover, his body surface is already showing slight signs of demonic transformation!"

What?

Everyone present was astonished.

The mahjong tile in King Chaoyang's hand even shattered with a "crack." Her gaze suddenly turned sharp: "It's a demonic soul invasion."

Saying that, she casually tore open a space rift and instantly disappeared within it.

The others in the courtyard also lost interest in continuing the mahjong game and simply waited there.

Wang Shouzhe also had someone tidy up the LiuXian Residence No. 5, preparing it for the King of Zhennan's stay.

As the number of Transcendent Void Realm experts residing in the Wang family increased, the five small residences in the Stay Immortal Residence were almost not enough to go around.

More than half an hour passed.

In the courtyard of the Staying Immortal Small Mansion, space ripples spread once more.

Soon after, King Chaoyang stepped out from the space ripples, holding a charming young girl in one hand and a comatose man in the other.

Needless to say, the unconscious man was naturally the King of Zhennan Yun Xiayang, and the young girl was naturally Wang Luomiao.

King Chaoyang, worthy of being an advanced stage Transcendent Void Realm expert, indeed had unfathomable strength. The round trip alone, for an early stage Transcendent Void Realm cultivator, would have taken at least half a day to complete.

However, constantly tearing through space for such a short journey, even her complexion had turned somewhat pale.

Wang Luomiao was in even worse shape.

Her cultivation base was only in the Purple Abode Realm, far less robust than a Transcendent Void Realm expert. The space travel alone had left her dizzy, and she nearly couldn't stand when King Chaoyang put her down, only managing to do so with a helpful hand from the King.

Regardless, she couldn't care for herself at that moment, and as soon as she caught her breath, she looked at Wang Shouzhe: "Brother, this uncle, no, the King of Zhennan seems to be getting worse. Please save him quickly."

"Don't worry, let me take a look first."

Wang Shouzhe had King Chaoyang place the King of Zhennan in the pre-prepared room, then stepped forward to grasp Yun Xiayang's arm and carefully examined him.

On Yun Xiayang's neck were dense demonic scales, and his fingers had grown thicker, with even claw shape beginning to form.

He began to channel Mysterious Energy, and the Life Origin Energy probed experimentally into him.

This probing caused no concern until it happened; then, the King of Zhennan's body began to tremble violently. A shadowy, dark demonic phantom appeared, roaring madly, seemingly warning Wang Shouzhe to mind his own business.

Even as a mere residual shadow, it wielded an oppressive aura over everyone present.

"It's the Spirit Remnant of a Demonic God." King Chaoyang's phoenix eyes filled with anger, and her tone was indescribably grave, "It must be the demonic god's remnant soul from the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins, escaped and attached to Xiayang's divine soul, preparing to convert his body into an extraterritorial demon body."

"Your Highness, I've only heard of soul possession for body snatching." Wang Shouzhe's serious face showed a hint of confusion, "How can a body transformation occur? Are the extraterritorial demons this terrifying?"

"Ordinary extraterritorial demons indeed can't do this." King Chaoyang's face was angry, "But at the demonic god level, their True Spirits have evolved, storing complete bloodline information within. Once a human is possessed by such a demonic soul, their body gradually transforms into an extraterritorial demon body under the influence of the demonic true spirit."

Wang Shouzhe's Life Origin Energy was highly effective in detoxification and healing, but in the face of soul possession and even bloodline transformation, he was helpless.

No way, it wasn't his specialty.

"The only thing we can do now is seek the Old Ancestor's help." King Chaoyang took out an Edict of Immortal Emperor, prepared to use it with some reluctance, "This will again consume quite a bit of the Old Ancestor's immortal energy."

Involving the divine soul, only the Immortal Emperor might have a solution.

"Wait."

Just then, Liu Ruolan stepped forward to stop King Chaoyang.

Her sharp gaze fell on the incomplete demonic god shadow, her clear eyes gradually filled with a cold light: "Let me try first. Husband, you continue to heal and force it out."

Wang Shouzhe understood and immediately increased the supply of Life Origin Energy.

This action instantly enraged the remnant of the extraterritorial demonic god, and its shadow expanded again, clawing aggressively at Wang Shouzhe.

"Get out, now!"

Liu Ruolan squinted her eyes and unhesitatingly swung her sword.

"Swish~"

A streak of sword light flashed by.

The sword light was not particularly dazzling or sharp, more like a breeze passing, or a ripple in still water, subtle and ephemeral, not at all threatening.

However, as the sword light brushed past the demonic god's spirit remnant shadow, it melted away with impossible speed, as snow meeting the blazing sun, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
