Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 122: Chapter 106 Taking Lici to Scrounge for Food! No Cap_1

Several days later.

The Main Residence of the Liu Clan.

Recently, for the Liu Clan, it has been like a living nightmare, with one piece of bad news after another relentlessly hitting them.

Nowadays, the internal environment of the Liu Clan is in a state of great anxiety.

All major industries are shrinking, whether it be the middle-level principals and chief principals, or the lower-level helpers and tenant farmers, they all have extremely low morale, and even regular tasks are not being performed well.

It’s no wonder, as rumors are spreading everywhere that the Wang Clan is rising, and the Liu and Zhao Clans are on the verge of collapse.

Although the Liu and Zhao Clans seem to have been bewitched, not making any moves or counterattacks, as if they have already accepted this situation.

But only the true core members of the Liu and Zhao Clans know about their real plans.

A door to a secluded courtyard slowly opens.

A middle-aged man dressed simply walks out from within. He has a robust physique, and his stride is as forceful as a dragon’s or tiger’s steps, his eyes are blazing and carrying a strong aura.

He is Liu Shenghao, the successor to the Spirit Platform Realm that the Liu Clan has been carefully cultivating for decades.

The Family Head, Liu Shengye, who had been waiting there, brightens up on seeing Liu Shenghao. He steps forward and says, “Elder brother, if you come out at this time, does that mean you have a chance of breaking through? If it’s not smooth enough yet, you should keep practicing. We, the Liu Clan, can still hold on.”

“Shengye, you have had a hard time.” Liu Shenghao’s eyes are full of strong confidence, “I have been honing my skills for decades, and I am very confident that I can ascend to the Spirit Platform Realm. Bring me the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the auxiliary Spirit Pill. Today is the day I, Liu Shenghao, will achieve the Spirit Platform Realm.”

“Good, good, good.” Liu Shengye was quite overcome with emotion, teetering on the edge of tears. The recent days have been too hard for the Liu Clan. The common people from their territory even went to work on the Wang’s Zhuwei Lake project.

Even some wealthy families are rushing to sell off their accumulated family property from generations past to go to the Wang Clan, eager to buy futures in Zhuwei Manor’s fields and buildings. Even if there are some losses, they don’t hesitate at all.

Under the intense propaganda and promotional campaigns, everyone regards the Liu and Zhao Clans as dangerous beasts, fearing that they won’t escape in time.

Against this, the Liu and Zhao Clans are simply powerless to respond.

“As long as you become a Spirit Platform Realm practitioner,” Liu Shengye says with a cold exhilarating laugh, “we Spirit Platform Realm powerhouses can seize the right opportunity to quietly kill the hateful Wang Shouzhe. All the unfavorable circumstances will be completely reversed.”

In the eyes of the Liu and Zhao Clans, Wang Shouzhe has replaced Wang Longyan to become their number one enemy.

Once Wang Shouzhe is removed, the so-called rise of the Wang Clan would only be a baseless castle in the air, destined to collapse.

All those who have betrayed the Liu and Zhao Clans will eventually be settled with.

Liu Shengye leads Liu Shenghao to the courtyard of the Family Head’s residence, smiling, “The Heavenly Spirit Pill is hidden in the secret chamber of my bedroom. Apart from the Old Ancestor, Liu Yonghao, and a few other close kin, no one knows the whereabouts of this item. I’ll go get it for you now.”

He enters the bedroom, triggers a concealed mechanism, and a wall slowly opens. He walks into the secret chamber, takes out a brocade box from a hidden cabinet inside, and hands it to Liu Shenghao, saying, “Elder brother, the hope of the family, all depends on you now.”

“Shengye, you just relax.” Liu Shenghao is slightly moved, taking the long- awaited brocade box and opens it to look. Sure enough, there are a few jade bottles inside.

He opens one of the jade bottles, just about to take a sniff at the aroma of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, when suddenly, his face dramatically changes, “What, what is this?” He tipped out its content and found that it was just a single ball of flour.

“Thump!”

Liu Shenghao has a moment of dread, hurriedly opens the bottles for the auxiliary Spirit Pills, and indeed, inside, all had been replaced with balls of flour. He screams, “Shengye, what is going on?!”

Liu Shengye, for the first time in his life, was completely flustered.

Sweating profusely, trembling all over, he stammers, “Impossible, impossible! There are only a few people who know about this secret chamber. Could it be, Yonghao? Summon him, bring Yonghao to me.”

Not a moment later.

Liu Yonghao kneels in the courtyard, beaten to a pulp, vomiting blood, wailing miserably, “Father, I didn’t take it, I really didn’t take it.”

“That’s right, that’s right, I remember now. Yongzhou, my fifth brother, invited me out for some wine. I drank a lot of it, I don’t know what I said. Could it be…”

“Yongzhou?” Liu Shengye looks bewildered, “What would Yongzhou need the Heavenly Spirit Pill for? That’s not right, Yongzhou hasn’t been seen for several days now.”

“Brother Yongzhou said he had to break through to the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm recently, to strive for the rise of the family, so he closed himself off for a while.”

After a thorough inquiry,

The Liu Clan discovered that Liu Yongzhou had disappeared and what he said about seclusion was simply a facade.

At this moment, where would the Liu Clan not know that something was wrong with Liu Yongzhou. His mistake, perhaps, is tied with the Zhong Clan’s Zhong Luoxian.

Moving quickly, members of the Liu Clan arrived at “The Summer Garden,” to find the gates tightly shut, the place already empty, with no sign of Zhong Luoxian.

Back at the Main Residence of the Liu Clan,

An elder assembly, even the Old Ancestor, Liu Zhde, were all assembled together.

“Could it be, that Yongzhou was bewitched by Zhong Luoxian, stole the Heavenly Spirit Pill, etc., betraying the clan and defecting to the Zhong Clan?” “Ah, the hardest to guard against is the thief within. Nephew Yongzhou was foolish!”

Even if the Zhong Clan is a Celestial Family, they could not commit such an unscrupulous act, could they? We will go to the First Capital City of Changning Weicheng to make a complaint, making them hand Liu Yongzhou, the traitor, over.”

The Zhong Clan is a mighty family, and furthermore, part of the Hundred Islands Guard, a Celestial Family. Will they bother with us?”
