57: progress

Wu Yusheng saw Wang Gou not speaking.

He also knew that his conditions were not enough.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.

"Your Excellency, are you perhaps worried about your Family's matters?"

"If you ask me, there's no need to put all the pressure on yourself; let your Clan Chief handle everything."

"Of course, reaching the Dongtian Realm at such an old age means he's probably reached his limit. But you, with your current Realm at such a young age, don't you want to sit in the Clan Chief's position?"

Wang Gou's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Replace the Clan Chief?

Had he gone mad?

Indeed, Wang Dong had only just entered the Dongtian Realm at his current age.

For many, it was indeed a bit slow.

But even if that position were placed before Wang Gou, he would absolutely have no intention of coveting it.

It wasn't because of his respect for Wang Dong, though that was certainly part of the reason.

More than that, it was due to his own personality.

The position of Clan Chief was indeed prestigious.

However, relatively speaking, it attracted too much attention.

He didn't want to be exposed in others' sight like that.

"The Third Prince jests. This kind of matter isn't something I alone can decide, especially since it concerns the entire Wang Family."

"As for the Clan Chief, Wang Gou harbors no ill will."

"I cannot help with this matter this time."

"If you help me, I can help you once in the future. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Wu Yusheng frowned, clearly not very satisfied with this answer.

Wang Gou's eyes narrowed instantly upon hearing this.

"The first time you said something like that, I had to consider your identity, but this is the second time, and I must warn you."

"If there's a third time, you will be a dead man, regardless of whether you are a royal descendant."

Wang Gou's tone was extremely cold.

Although he was always cautious and generally disliked causing trouble.

That didn't mean he was afraid of it.

This person in front of him had provoked him repeatedly.

Moreover, he had insulted Wang Dong.

Even if Wang Gou was cautious and disliked causing trouble.

Facing such a situation, he was unwilling to act like a coward.

"Hah! Fellow Daoist Wang Gou, I gave you some Face because of your high Realm."

"So now you're talking to me like this, isn't that a bit disrespectful? As for your old Clan Chief, what if I talk about him like that?"

"He's probably reached his peak in this life, with no possibility of further advancement. Moreover, it's just the two of us here."

"Who would ever know?"

Wu Yusheng let out a cold laugh, just about to continue speaking.

But the next moment.

A powerful Aura erupted.

Immediately after, Wu Yusheng felt a large hand grip his neck.

"Purple Mansion Realm Fifth Heaven! You dare to kill me?"

Wu Yusheng said, enunciating each word.

Before coming, it wasn't as if he didn't know Wang Gou's cultivation Realm.

But what of it?

He was royalty.

His father was the monarch of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

The Wang Family also survived on their territory.

Could it be that Wang Gou intended to rebel?

But Wu Yusheng wasn't that confident.

Beneath his eyes, a trace of panic could even be seen.

Wang Gou's sudden move was somewhat beyond his expectation.

He was indeed a bit afraid that Wang Gou, out of terrifying familial loyalty, would truly disregard everything for him.

One should know, if the words he had just spoken were exposed, would the Wang Family encounter problems? He didn't know.

But he would certainly die.

"I really don't dare, at least not now, but that doesn't mean I won't do anything."

Wang Gou sneered coldly.

One could only say that Wu Yusheng's identity saved him.

Currently, Wang Gou did not intend to bring too much disaster upon his Family.

Teaching this guy a lesson would suffice; for now, he would vent his anger.

Even if people from the imperial Family came looking later, at most it would just be an apology.

After all, the Wang Family was not to be trifled with.

A Grotto-Heaven True Lord, lofty and supreme.

The imperial Family would not rashly become enemies over a mere Third Prince, no matter what.

However, letting Wang Gou simply let it go was also impossible.

The person who insulted the Clan Chief must pay the price.

One should know, Wang Dong had turned the tide when the Wang Family's edifice was on the verge of collapse.

Without Wang Dong, there would be no stable survival for the younger generation like him.

Nor would there be their rapid advancement.

Almost everyone in the entire Wang Family had received Wang Dong's favor.

Not a single person didn't admire Wang Dong.

He himself was actually a bit better off.

He already had the System.

Even without relying on the Family, as long as he could live peacefully,

He would eventually become a strong Cultivator.

But if Wang Changfeng and Wang Jiayao were to find out.

This matter would likely not end well.

Thinking of this, Wang Gou felt a wave of lingering fear.

Fortunately, this reckless fellow had come looking for him first.

Otherwise, he might already be a corpse now.

Wang Gou, expressionless.

Spiritual Qi surged between his hands.

Clear Wind Tendon-Rubbing Hand!

This Martial Skill caused little damage, but it was exceptionally sensitive to pain.

In other words, it was a method used during interrogations.

It could make people wish for death.

At this moment, Wang Gou used such a method to punish the Third Prince before him.

It was also a lesson for him.

"Ah ah ah! You dare! After today, I and the Wang Family will be irreconcilable."

Wu Yusheng was instantly enveloped by pain.

Emitting cries of agony.

Wang Gou remained expressionless, simply continuing his methods.

Even when this guy said he and the Wang Family would be irreconcilable.

Wang Gou still didn't care.

He feared the entire imperial Family, the monarch.

Not this mere little Prince before him.

In fact, if it weren't for his background.

Wang Gou would have long wanted to kill this guy.

After more than an hour of torture, Wu Yusheng was eventually unable to even speak.

He was like a puddle of mud, every tendon in his body having been tormented.

Even as a Cultivator, he couldn't help but stare blankly at this moment.

Wang Gou threw him aside.

Letting him recover on his own, and then telling him to get lost.

Wang Gou had no obligation to protect this guy.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Wang Changfeng, at some unknown time, had already entered an Immortal Cave.

This Immortal Cave was extremely hidden, on one side of a cliff.

At the entrance, there were even layers of Formations.

Appearing naturally occurring, making it impossible for people to see any problems from the outside.

Wang Changfeng walked in slowly.

With every step, he constantly watched his surroundings, fearing any potential danger.

But after a moment.

Wang Changfeng completely relaxed.

This was just a simple cave.

He had only found this place by chance on a sudden impulse.

This is?

Suddenly, Wang Changfeng's eyes narrowed, noticing something.

His entire body instantly erupted with a terrifying Aura that was astonishing and uncontrollable.
