Chapter 1092: Chapter 74: Break His Arms First! The Grand Assembly Arrives
The Wang Shou Race is currently the Wang Family’s strongest combat power, with an overall strength assessed as "Late Stage Purple Mansion Realm." Its quality is extremely outstanding, and its power far surpasses the Early Stage Purple Mansion Wang Shou Sect. Even when facing the assault of a Divine Power Realm big shot, it can still resist and tangle with them for a period of time.
However, being a guardian-type Puppet doesn’t mean it has no offensive ability.
As the saying goes, the best defense is offense.
The Wang Shou Race’s attack power is likewise far from weak.
The moment it appeared, the Wang Shou Race sensed the targeting and threat Gongyang Strategy was directing at Wang Shouzhe.
"How dare you! You actually dare impose pressure on my lord!"
With a furious roar, a red light flashed in its eyes as it suddenly erupted with a vast, majestic aura, ruthlessly suppressing toward Gongyang Strategy.
A colossal mountain phantom, incomparably huge and as heavy and ancient as Mount Tai, instantly appeared behind it. Its might was blazing and overwhelming, like Mount Tai pressing down from above, compressing the air until it seemed to solidify.
"Rumble!"
The two auras collided, and a muffled boom instantly rang out in the air.
Gongyang Strategy’s face turned pale, as if struck by an invisible force. He stumbled backward several steps with a "thump, thump, thump," his eyes filled with shock: "What Level of Puppet is this?"
Before his astonishment could settle, Prince Anjun also stepped forward, shielding Wang Shouzhe, and said sternly, "Gongyang Strategy, if you still insist on your delusions, I’ll just kill you on the spot today!"
A powerful aura belonging to a Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator likewise surged up from him, vast and imposing.
Behind him, a gigantic golden dragon-shaped phantom appeared, incomparably fierce, incomparably noble, and incomparably powerful. It was clearly an Azure Dragon Dharma Aspect!
As one of the Quasi-crown princes, Prince Anjun was naturally a solid Purple Mansion Great Celestial Pride. If his talent weren’t exceptional and his strength not formidable, he wouldn’t even be qualified to compete with Prince Kang.
Someone who might become Emperor Lingxu in the future—how could he possibly be weak?
It’s just that Prince Anjun liked farming, had a mild temperament, and rarely fought with others, so he simply didn’t show off much.
Under the joint suppression of two auras, Gongyang Strategy’s face turned even paler, and a trace of fear surged in his eyes.
Just that excessively powerful Puppet of Wang Shouzhe’s alone already left him with little confidence of defeating it. Adding Prince Anjun on top of that, he had absolutely no chance of winning!
For a moment, Gongyang Strategy’s whole body stiffened, and his momentum weakened bit by bit.
"Shouzhe, since this guy refuses to listen to reason, might as well just kill him." Yao Chengchao said with a grin at the side. "Don’t worry, I’ll testify for you. Gongyang Strategy is the one who sought death by trying to arrest you."
"Gongyang Strategy hasn’t committed a major crime. Killing him would be a pity." Wang Shouzhe shook his head. "This person’s potential isn’t bad. In the future, he’ll definitely become a Divine Power Realm powerhouse, a pillar-level figure of humanity. If we kill him so casually, then when my daughter Wang Liyao ascends to become Master of the Saint Land in the future, won’t she be missing a powerful subordinate? For the sake of that, let’s spare his life for now."
Yao Chengchao’s smiling face froze.
Shouzhe, you really dare to think that far. How do you know your daughter will definitely become Master of the Saint Land? You’re talking like the position of Saint Son has already been reserved for Wang Liyao.
"Shouzhe, how do we deal with him?" Prince Anjun asked. "Are we just going to capture him first?"
"I’ll trouble Brother Yao to send him on a trip to the Immortal Dynasty." Wang Shouzhe said. "He can come back whenever he feels like it. Anyway, by the time he returns, everything will already be settled, and he won’t be able to stir up any waves."
"You..."
On Gongyang Strategy’s fear-stricken face, an expression of humiliation appeared.
"Brother Chengchao, I’ll pay for his ticket." As Wang Shouzhe spoke, he even pulled out a rope that shimmered with Treasure Light. "To prevent him from making a fuss about getting off halfway, let’s use this Beast-Binding Rope to tie him up~"
This Beast-Binding Rope of his was no ordinary item. It could bind even a Tier Seven Ferocious Beast without breaking. He’d specially bought it to keep his family’s Wang Lilong in line when she got disobedient, so he could use it to "educate" her.
"Yo, Shouzhe, you really are a meticulous sort. Your preparations are thorough." Yao Chengchao took the Beast-Binding Rope and trotted over to tie up Gongyang Strategy. "Young Master Ce, I’d advise you not to move around. Otherwise, you really might lose your life on the spot today."
Gongyang Strategy’s face was full of humiliation, but he also understood that Wang Shouzhe’s group definitely wouldn’t give him another chance to return to Prince Kang’s side.
If he dared to struggle recklessly, he’d most likely be killed on the spot by Prince Anjun and that Puppet.
Even this Yao Chengchao, who looked honest and straightforward but was actually full of bad ideas, would seize the chance to take a shot at him.
"Wait, Old Yao, why did you tie him up like that?" Wang Shouzhe looked at that somewhat familiar tying method and suddenly felt his eyelids twitching wildly.
"Is there something wrong with it?" Yao Chengchao looked baffled. He circled the trussed-up-like-a-zongzi Gongyang Strategy and said, "I tied him up pretty well. I learned this rope technique from some little Barbaric Wilderness border kingdom."
"Nothing wrong. If you think it works, then it works." Wang Shouzhe was speechless, then pulled out another vial of potion and tossed it to Yao Chengchao. "This is High-Tier Anesthetic. Even a True Dragon who takes it will go weak all over and find it hard to move. This stuff is expensive, so use it sparingly..."
Yao Chengchao and Prince Anjun both gave Wang Shouzhe strange looks. How do you know that? Have you tested it?
They hadn’t expected that this guy, who usually looked every bit the refined Gentleman, actually carried these things around with him. They’d heard that only certain "special" master thieves...
"This is an Alloy Shackles I developed. Not only is it sturdy, but the more you struggle, the tighter it gets, and there are barbs on the inside..." Wang Shouzhe, unaware that their thoughts had already gone into orbit, kept taking things out one by one, all for a single purpose—making sure Gongyang Strategy had no chance to escape.
The mournfully furious Gongyang Strategy nearly fainted on the spot.
Wang Shouzhe, are you even human?
After Yao Chengchao finished dealing with Gongyang Strategy and temporarily tossed him into a cramped, narrow hidden cabin in the hull...
Only then did everyone turn their attention to Zhao Zhikun and his wife.
After witnessing Gongyang Strategy’s fate with their own eyes, Zhao Zhikun and his wife were already scared out of their wits, faces deathly pale.
Before Wang Shouzhe’s side could even speak, Zhao Zhikun directly hugged Prince Anjun’s leg. "Your Highness, whatever you say goes. Just please don’t hand me over to Wang Shouzhe to deal with."
Wang Shouzhe’s face darkened. Was that really necessary?
...
Unknowingly, three days passed just like that.
Today was the day of the Grand Court Assembly.
Since his ascension, the Grand Court Assembly had been held more times than one could count. But assemblies that could make Emperor Longchang this expectant were not many.
Today, he could finally see that brat Wang Shouzhe he’d been thinking about day and night.
Emperor Longchang had already decided in his heart that after the commendations were done, he had to find a way to give that brat Wang Shouzhe a little "shoe-wearing treatment," make him embarrass himself in front of all the civil and military officials. Only then could he vent the resentment in his heart.
"Old Yao~ tell Us, what tricky question should We pose to that brat Wang Shouzhe later?" With some time still left before the Grand Court Assembly began, Emperor Longchang was already getting impatient and eagerly started pondering his "Thirty-Six Schemes of Petty Revenge."
Old Yao stood to the side, duster in hand, the corners of his mouth twitching as he struggled to speak.
Your Majesty~ have you forgotten how you crashed and burned last time? Are you that sure Wang Shouzhe will obediently walk into your trap? Don’t end up, after all your scheming, falling into your own pit again like before.
If you lose both your troops and your reputation, that would really be bad.
