Wang Jize strode out of the meeting hall, and then flew directly to the southeast on his sword.
The white-robed, white-bearded, white-haired old man soared into the sky on his flying sword. The clansmen had their backbone again, and there was no longer a trace of panic. They maintained the operation of the clan step by step, and the clan regained its peace again.
The old man was like a stabilizing needle. With him around, the clansmen had confidence.
It was said that Wang Jize was plotted against when he went out, and his cultivation fell. It seemed that this was a cover-up by the clan to not attract attention. At this time, Wang Jize did not look like his cultivation had fallen. His aura was much stronger than that of the clan leader.
In just a little more than a day, Wang Jize returned to Yuquan Peak with Wang Daochang and Wang Zhide. They went by flying sword, and came back by spirit ship. Otherwise, they could have gone back and forth in four hours.
Not long after they came back, the wounded Wang Daoxing also returned to Yuquan Peak. It was a matter of great importance. The elders and Wang Jize did not have time to wait for him to heal. They directly asked Wang Daoxing what the clan leader said at that time.
Wang Daoxing's words were exactly the same as Wang Daoyuan's. All the elders heaved a sigh of relief. They unanimously decided that if Wang Zhian or Wang Shouye did not return to Yuquan Peak within a month, they would immediately announce that Wang Daochang would inherit the position of clan leader.
The situation was settled, and the power struggle in the clan calmed down. After settling the issue of the clan leader's successor, Wang Zhide was sent out by Wang Jize again before he had time to catch his breath. He went to Qingli City to inquire about the details of the battle in Guiyan Valley.
Wang Zhide had been in Qingli City all year round. After decades, he had accumulated a lot of connections. Among the rogue cultivators, he also had some good friends. Among the rogue cultivators, there were all kinds of people, and it was very suitable to inquire about information.
Apart from Wang Zhide, only Wang Zhian and Wang Shouye often went out to travel and had some connections among the rogue cultivators. But it was unknown whether they were alive or dead. Other than Wang Zhide, no one else could do the work of mobilizing connections and inquiring about information.
Wang Daoyuan did not want to be idle. He and Wang Daoxing were surrounded by a group of elders, who asked about the details and the experience of escape.
Wang Daoxing was as valiant as ever. While Seventh Uncle Wang Shouhong was still treating his wounds, he volunteered and began to describe his glorious journey of killing his way back. It was quite similar to how Second Uncle Wang Shouhong scraped the bones and treated the poison.
Wang Shouhong was an alchemist with a cultivation of Qi Disciple Level 9. Currently, he could already refine all the common Level 1 pills. He was only one step away from breaking through to Level 2. He was a person of few words. Other than alchemy and medical skills, he was not interested in anything else.
However, even such a person was frowning at Wang Daoxing. He was probably complaining in his heart, 'This nephew of mine is really a little too much.'
A quarter of an hour later, after the wound was treated, Wang Daoxing was still talking about his glorious deeds, "I just escaped from the Carriage Gorge, and according to what Daoyuan said, I didn't go through Jin Yan City, but directly came to our Jade Spring Peak. After running for less than a hundred miles, someone blocked his path.
The guy who blocked my way wasn't very strong. He was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He wasn't even strong enough to be knocked down by my staff. Only that guy's spiritual beast was very difficult to deal with. One man and one beast besieged me, and it took me a lot of effort to smash them to death.
Along the way, I met five or six groups of people like this, which delayed my return. "
After listening to his words, Wang Daoyuan felt like there was something wrong somewhere, so he asked, "Second Brother, you didn't run back directly, did you?"
Wang Daoxing replied without hesitation, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Wang Daoyuan touched his forehead with his hand, "I gave you so many escape talismans, why didn't you use them to escape?"
Wang Daoxing slapped the back of his head, and said with an awkward but polite smile, "I forgot about that."
All the elders didn't know what to say. Their clan was unfortunate to have produced such an idiot.
Wang Zhiren seemed to have thought of something, and said with a big laugh, "Daoxing was able to escape like that, so the others wouldn't have a problem."
Wang Daoyuan didn't have the heart to hurt him, but he was afraid that hiding the truth would cause the elders to make a wrong judgment, so he could only say, "The one who chased me was a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"What?" Wang Daoxing said in shock, "How did you come back alive?"
Everyone also looked at Wang Daoyuan in shock.
"I killed him, so I came back alive."
"How is that possible?" an elder exclaimed. The closer a cultivator was to Foundation Establishment, the more they knew how big the gap was between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement cultivators. That gap made them feel despair. Now that they heard Wang Daoyuan say that he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, their first reaction was disbelief.
It wasn't that Qi Refinement cultivators didn't kill Foundation Establishment cultivators, but all the successful cases were geniuses at the peak of Qi Refinement, who relied on powerful trump cards to kill Foundation Establishment cultivators at the first or second level. As for those who succeeded, they were all disciples of great powers.
It was unheard of for a seventh level Qi Refinement cultivator to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Everyone knew that the Wang clan didn't have such a powerful trump card.
Even Wang Jize was curious. "Daoyuan, tell us the details of the counterattack."
Wang Daoyuan described his escape from the battlefield, his pursuit by Zhang Dacheng, and his final counterattack.
All the elders were dumbfounded. Wang Daoxing was a little ashamed. "I thought that smashing a few enemies to death was already very impressive. I didn't expect Little Seven to encounter such a powerful opponent. Not only did he escape unscathed, he even managed to counterattack."
"Actually, it wasn't that difficult. It's just that this Foundation Establishment cultivator is too weak. He hasn't even learned the Sword Kinesis Technique. He doesn't have any second-level Dharma artifacts or spells. His spirit beast isn't battle-type either, and he doesn't have any combat experience.
"Even so, I used more than a hundred spirit talismans, and one second-level spirit talisman.
"According to my estimation, the enemy was monitoring the entire battlefield. They sent people to intercept the cultivators based on their strength and value.
"I used a lot of spirit talismans on the battlefield, so I must have been targeted. The Foundation Establishment cultivator who chased after me also had a storage bag that was cleaner than his face. He must have been after my wealth.
"Second Brother only revealed his strong physical body on the battlefield, so the people who intercepted him weren't very strong.
"On the other hand, Twelfth Uncle only used the Water Dragon Technique on the battlefield to defeat a peak first-level demon beast without being able to fight back at all. "I estimate that the person who chased after Twelfth Uncle was probably also a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
After hearing that, all the elders fell silent. Wang Daoyuan had only revealed a little of his spirit talismans, but he was already hunted down by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Wang Shouye, on the other hand, had exposed his super strong combat strength. It was almost certain that he would be hunted down by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although Wang Shouye's combat strength was strong and he had a lot of trump cards, it wasn't certain that he could kill an enemy above his level. Wang Daoyuan could counterattack and kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator because that Foundation Establishment cultivator was too weak. Wang Daoyuan's cultivation was low and the enemy had underestimated him. That was why they had an opportunity.
Wang Shouye had exposed his combat strength. The enemy wouldn't underestimate him. No matter how strong his combat strength was, it couldn't make up for the difference in cultivation realm. Everyone could only pray that Wang Shouye could avoid being hunted down.
Wang Daoyuan and the other juniors only heard that Wang Shouye was very talented, but they didn't know what Wang Shouye meant to the family.
All the elders knew that Wang Shouye was the hope of the Wang family to return to the peak. His talent was only slightly inferior to the ancestor's, but his conditions were much better than the ancestor's.
Back then, Wang Chengzu started from scratch. He had no cultivation techniques, no guidance, and no cultivation resources. He had to rely on himself to kill his way out.
On the other hand, Wang Shouye had the cultivation techniques and cultivation experience left behind by Wang Chengzu. He also had the family's financial support. As long as he could obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would be able to pass the Foundation Establishment stage. With his talent, he would be able to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment within a hundred years. Although it was difficult to establish the Violet Palace Realm, it wasn't life-threatening.
Back then, Wang Chengzu didn't have the Foundation Establishment Pill. He didn't have the supplementary elixirs to establish the Violet Palace Realm and form the core. He had succeeded in breaking through the Foundation Establishment, Violet Palace Realm, and Golden Core Realm on the first try.
