Protect Our Clan Leader

...

After some time.

In Changning, Xinping Town's [International Airport], a heavily damaged cloud ray flying boat shakily landed.

The airport staff noticed something was wrong and hurriedly rushed forward to assist.

Wang Ningxi, who came to receive the passengers, was also anxious and quickly inquired about the situation.

"Ningxi!"

Upon seeing him, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch and Queen Lan Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.

The energy surge of this Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins explosion was far more severe than the last one. Though their response had been swift, the proximity to the epicenter caused the flying boat to suffer substantial damage under the impact of the energy storm. During the journey, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch had to make several emergency repairs.

It's fair to say that it was truly difficult for this cloud ray flying boat to land safely.

Facing Wang Ningxi's inquiry, the couple still cuddled together, though their expressions were extremely serious: "Something serious happened. We encountered an air disaster near the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins, and the King of Zhennan, Yun Xiayang, was caught in a space vortex."

"His Highness King of Zhennan?" Wang Ningxi was taken aback.

Though he had little interaction with the King of Zhennan, he knew that this person was quite friendly to the Wang family. More importantly, the accident happened while he was on his way to the Wang family.

The Immortal Dynasty's King of Zhennan's line has been inherited without interruption, boasting considerable strength. Should they harbor resentment towards the Wang family, troubles would ensue.

"However, luck is still somewhat on our side," the Hundred Refinements True Monarch continued, "Although I couldn't retrieve him from the space vortex, I could deduce the movement direction of the space vortex's potential landing points, one of which is near Dongqian, though the error margin might exceed several thousand miles."

Even among those in the Transcendent Void Realm, there are varying levels of mastery in the Path of Space, and the Hundred Refinements True Monarch belongs to the stronger category.

Still, such space vortexes differ greatly from fixed space teleportation channels, prone to interference from various factors with significant uncertainty. He could only make a rough estimation.

There are five potential landing points, two near the Immortal Dynasty, one near Dongqian, and the other two located within the Demon Dynasty Territory.

He had previously transmitted the locations back to the Immortal Dynasty, and those near the Immortal Dynasty would naturally be searched by their personnel, while the one near Dongqian would require assistance from the Wang family.

As for the two within the Demon Dynasty Territory... to be truthful, the Immortal Dynasty currently can't conduct large-scale searches openly there, so they can only hope for the King of Zhennan's good fortune.

"There's no time to waste." Wang Ningxi immediately responded, "I will take you to my family's Old Ancestor Grandpa and let him make the decision."

Shortly thereafter.

Wang Ningxi escorted the Hundred Refinements True Monarch and others to Shouzhe's courtyard.

Since both sides had long been acquainted spiritually, they had learned everything that needed to be understood. Given the urgency of the situation, there was little small talk. After brief introductions, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch and Queen Lan Xin promptly explained the situation.

Wang Shouzhe immediately took out a map, outlining the general area based on the potential landing points deduced by the Hundred Refinements True Monarch.

The area happened to be the Qingluo Sea between the northern part of Longzuo County and the southern part of Liaoyuan County.

"Senior Bailian, Senior Lan Xin, please wait."

Wang Shouzhe swiftly drafted an order and dispatched it.

After completing this, he said, "The search directive has been dispatched. If the seniors' estimations are roughly accurate, we should receive news soon. We will then know if the King of Zhennan has fallen into Qingluo Sea."

For a moment, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch and Queen Lan Xin felt somewhat relieved.

Queen Lan Xin raised a hand and gratefully bowed to him, saying, "This matter is entrusted to Master Shouzhe."

This is the advantage of being a local authority.

That stretch of sea is nominally East Qian's territory, but everyone knows it's under the Wang family's control. With one order, who knows how many ships can be mobilized for a large-scale sea search. This is much faster than attempting the search themselves.

With the order issued, it was time to wait.

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch and Queen Lan Xin, for now, lacked the interest to tour the Wang family, so they temporarily settled in at the Stay Immortal Residence under Wang Ningxi's hospitality.

The house they stayed in was the cottage Emperor Longchang previously occupied. Since the Great Emperor has now been "dispatched" to the external battlefield to continue exerting influence, who knows how long until he returns—it would be a waste to leave it unoccupied.

Both the Hundred Refinements True Monarch and Queen Lan Xin quickly adapted to life at the Stay Immortal Residence and successfully integrated into the small group there.

Proven by the fact that the allure of "mahjong" is indeed powerful.

The two bigwigs were so engrossed in the game that they nearly forgot about the unfortunate King of Zhennan.

In a flash, seven or eight days had passed.

On this day.

Wang Shouzhe received the news and went to inform the group at Stay Immortal Residence, feeling rather speechless at the sight in the courtyard.

Under Liu Ruolan's arrangement, the original mahjong table in the courtyard had expanded to two tables.

Hundred Refinements True Monarch and Queen Lan Xin were each dominating their respective tables.

"New players always have good luck, playing randomly still leads to winning," King Chaoyang sighed while paying the chips for a gun, nostalgically reminiscing, "Back when I first started playing, my luck was good for a while as well."

"Thank you, Old Ancestor Chaoyang, for going easy on us," Queen Lan Xin happily accepted the chips, her actions now thoroughly adept.
