Chapter 1249 - 12: Terrifying! The Wang Family’s Intensifying Infighting

He has been preparing for this many, many years, the odds of winning should not be low.

At that moment, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile: "Congratulations to Master Ancestor on accepting a beloved disciple."

Jiang Zhencang also encouraged him with a few words, but as for the rewards, he simply ignored them. In order to cultivate a future big shot of the Saint Land, all that needs to be saved has to be saved.

Afterward, Celestial River Zhenren and a group of young people stepped forward to pay respects to Jiang Zhencang.

However, Jiang Zhencang’s main attention was on Wang Liyao, looking her up and down and said: "Liyao, have you had any extraordinary experiences recently? Your cultivation seems to have progressed a little quickly."

In his mind, Liyao is Yingxuan’s main opponent. She is calm and composed, with excellent cross-combat abilities, and it is highly likely that Wang Shouzhe is advising her from behind the scenes, making her naturally a strong contender compared to other opponents.

If Wang Liyao were his disciple, then naturally there would be no question about it, no matter what, he would support her as the Saintess. It’s a pity, though, that he was beaten to the punch by Celestial River.

Without waiting for Liyao to answer, Celestial River Zhenren stood in front of her, cupped his hands and said: "Saint Master Jiang, our Celestial One True Water lineage is quite poor, Yaoo’Er relies entirely on the Wang Family’s resources to support her, thus the rapid pace of her cultivation."

"It’s getting late, I need to take Yaoo’Er back to our [Celestial Water Cave Mansion] for a visit, my nephew Celestial Wave True Immortal is still waiting, farewell, farewell." Then, Celestial River Zhenren swiftly departed from the scene with Wang Liyao, rushing to the Celestial Water Cave Mansion of the Celestial One True Water Lineage.

Seeing Celestial River’s guilty appearance, Jiang Zhencang frowned secretly. Liyao’s bloodline is likely already beyond Great Celestial Pride Grade B, and it is very likely it has reached A-class Talent.

As for crossing into Unparalleled, the possibility is very low.

Even though the current Wang Family is very wealthy, along with Celestial River, the disciple-protecting maniac who desperately makes money to support his disciple, it is impossible to accumulate the resources to ascend to Unparalleled in a short time. Most importantly, even if they manage to gather enough money, they do not have the means to buy a real Eighth-Grade Immortal Pill.

However, even if she is not an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, Liyao is not so easy to deal with. Her comprehensive qualities are extremely advantageous in the fight for the Saintess position.

Forget it, forget it.

Best to return and further train Yingxuan, to increase her odds of success.

This reception was naturally considered small probes among them.

Following this, small ripples began within the Lingyun Sacred Land.

Originally unwilling to return to Golden Sun Peak and residing in the Glazed Mingwang Hall, Master Yunyang, after Jiang Zhencang showed strong "favoritism" and hearing Celestial River Zhenren’s insider information, finally couldn’t help starting to form alliances.

Not to waste years of effort, for Lici’s maid. Master Yunyang traveled across the peaks, halls, and lineages, and eventually decided to go to Golden Sun Peak, to meet Langya Zhenren.

No one knows what Master Yunyang discussed with Langya, but the leaders of the various lineages in Lingyun Sacred Land began to jointly "submit a proposal", requesting Saint Master Jiang to commence the Struggle for the Saint Son ahead of schedule.

The timing of the Struggle for the Saint Son is not strictly fixed; as long as during a certain period, when everyone gathers together, it can begin at any time.

This enraged Jiang Zhencang greatly, as among all the Struggle for the Saint Son candidates, only his disciple Wang Yingxuan was the youngest. Were he able to delay for several decades more, allowing Yingxuan to go to the Immortal Palace for a further period of study, the odds would be even greater.

However, Jiang Zhencang thought again, starting ahead of schedule might not necessarily be a bad thing.

The Struggle for the Saint Son has special rules of its own and is not merely about simple individual duel-style competitions.

Because every time a Struggle for the Saint Son occurs, there are always candidates due to a large age gap, with varying strengths and weaknesses in cultivation realm. Purely fighting to decide victory does not meet the needs for selecting excellent Saint Sons or Saintesses.

Jiang Zhencang already saw that Wang Shouzhe favored his daughter over his granddaughter. If delayed by a few decades longer, with Wang Shouzhe’s elusive means, he might very well elevate Liyao to Unparalleled.

Liyao is excellent, but she’s not his disciple, right?

Taking advantage of Yingxuan’s bloodline advantage, initiating the Struggle for the Saint Son also has no small advantage. The level of bloodline talent occupies a significant proportion of the final evaluation criteria.

Amidst internal disturbances within the Saint Land, pushing for the hosting of the Struggle for the Saint Son.

Cyan Emperor Valley, Yoongchun Garden.

In the pavilion amidst a sea of flowers.

Wang Shouzhe and Yao Chengchao were drinking tea and chatting. Beside them were Wang Ningxi and Wang Lici accompanying.

"Patriarch Shouzhe," Yao Chengchao seemed to be holding back a fire, "The causes and effects of the matter are thus, and although there are indeed errors among our internal personnel in this, but your niece Lici, she, she... is too excessive, too bullying. This time, you must stand up for me."

Speaking of this matter, Yao Chengchao couldn’t help but feel his nose sting, a tearful impulse welling up, even more aggrieved than the last time when Emperor Longchang bullied him.

Meanwhile, Wang Lici was sitting obediently next to Wang Shouzhe, wide-eyed with a very innocent look, a little green serpent poking half of its head out from her sleeve, staring at Wang Shouzhe with a scrutinizing gaze.

Is this the Great Demon King Fourth Uncle that Great Witch Lici always feared the most?

Haha, the Ancestor Dragon doesn’t believe it, what qualifications does this seemingly "ordinary-looking" human have to be more fierce than Great Witch Lici?

The Ancestor Dragon shall see,

"Ningxi, what do you think?" Wang Shouzhe did not directly reply to Yao Chengchao, instead drank his tea with a calm demeanor.
