Protect Our Clan Leader

...

The Immortal Emperor's anger made everyone present fall silent, too scared to even lift their heads.

Only King of Zhennan carefully cast a sympathetic glance at Wang Ningxi. Kid, my old ancestor isn't easy to deal with; you'll just have to fend for yourself.

Wang Ningxi scratched his head helplessly.

No matter how he calculated, he didn't expect the Immortal Emperor's projection to descend and interfere. Doesn't she have better things to do? As the Immortal Emperor, shouldn't she be managing matters of state daily?

Why waste time watching a small fry like him?

"Why are you scratching your head?" The Immortal Emperor saw his innocent expression, which only made her more furious, "Do you dare disagree when I, the Emperor, personally punish you?"

"Well... indeed, Your Majesty, I do have some objections."

Perhaps it was from witnessing Emperor Longchang's antics with the Wang family, although Wang Ningxi held reverence and true admiration for the Immortal Emperor, he wasn't truly afraid of her.

He boldly argued, "I consider my actions lawful and orderly. On what grounds am I to be exiled from the Immortal Dynasty and punished? Does Your Majesty govern the world only by whims and emotions, disregarding the rule of law?"

Everyone was stunned by his words, even Elder Pei was sweating coldly.

Everyone said he was candid and dared to criticize anyone. But no matter how reckless, who would dare say such things to the Immortal Emperor's face?

Besides, it was the first time in Elder Pei's life he had seen the Immortal Emperor's projection, thanks to Wang Ningxi, indeed.

Even the Hundred Refinements True Monarch was twitching at the mouth, never expecting that Wang Ningxi, with his gentle and elegant appearance, could be so brash, daring to defy the Immortal Emperor.

This disciple is something else indeed~

"Haha~" The Immortal Emperor's projection glared at Wang Ningxi, clearly quite angered, "What if I do govern you based on whims and emotions? Not satisfied, come and fight me~ come on! With your current Heavenly Person Cultivation Stage, I could crush you with a toe. Hurry up and scram, don't block my sight."

She was about to be driven crazy by Wang Ningxi's series of actions.

Not only did he brazenly undermine the Immortal Dynasty's foundation, but he did so with such audacity, as if he dared to think she had no temper!

Is it easy for the Immortal Dynasty to cultivate talent?

What's more ridiculous is that he involved Queen Lan Xin, so now even the younger generation of Lan Xin's household is planning to gather and seek retribution. If he is allowed to stay in the Immortal Dynasty longer, who knows what other absurd antics he'll pull.

The Wang family in Dongqian Changning really isn't easy to handle.

"Uh, Your, Your Majesty..."

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch glanced around cautiously and tried to smooth things over.

Yet, before he could continue, Immortal Emperor Muyun shot a sharp look his way.

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch immediately fell silent, behaving obediently.

Wang Ningxi also broke out in a cold sweat.

If the Immortal Emperor were willing to reason with him, he had countless legitimate arguments to present, leaving everyone speechless. But there was nothing he could do if the Immortal Emperor was unreasonable and obstinate.

Fortunately, his tasks in the Immortal Dynasty were nearly complete, so withdrawing was acceptable.

What's a hundred years banished from the Immortal Dynasty? After a hundred years, he, Wang Ningxi, would be back as a hero.

"I obey Your Majesty's decree." Wang Ningxi reluctantly agreed, then added, "Might I request three days..."

"Leave today."

"Alright, I'll catch the flying boat to Dongqian today." Wang Ningxi said, winking at Elder Pei as he spoke.

Elder Pei understood, giving Wang Ningxi a reassuring look as if to say "Don't worry, I've got this."

"Almost forgot about you, old codger." The Immortal Emperor noticed this and shifted her attention to Pei Xin'an, raising an eyebrow. "Were you badmouthing me earlier?"

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged, I was merely..."

"Spare me your excuses! You're no good either. Roll out along with that brat Wang Ningxi."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll leave, I'll leave. Ningxi, let's scram together."

"Come back! Make sure to oversee the quality of the Black Armor in Dongqian. If you can ensure this batch's quality, I can order another seven hundred thousand sets."

"Yes, yes, yes, I guarantee to complete the task."

Clearly, the Immortal Emperor also cared about the situation of the Black Armor, perhaps secretly watching everything from the start, only showing up to retort when she could no longer tolerate Pei Xin'an's criticism.

Once the Immortal Emperor vented her frustrations and sent Wang Ningxi and Pei Xin'an away, she turned to the King of Zhennan, "Xiayang, your choice to collaborate with the Wang family was wise, the results excellent, count it as a major achievement."

King Yun Xiayang trembled, even his bones felt lighter as he spoke: "Old Ancestor overrates it, Xiayang merely strives for the Human race's resurgence."

"However, your leadership of the Immortal Soldier Department is inferior in productivity and quality compared to the Wang family. I'll count it as making amends." The Immortal Emperor waved her hand, "Visit Dongqian, learn from Wang family's management and production methods. If the Immortal Soldier Department doesn't improve, don't blame me for taking action against you."

The King of Zhennan shuddered at her words and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, yes. Xiayang will learn diligently and manage the Immortal Soldier Department well."
