Ziyuan Daoist has only one Spirit Treasure, but there are numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to assist in cultivation, along with millions of Spirit Marrow Crystal Stones.
As for the Spirit Treasure, it is only that Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, which seems to have just upgraded to the Golden Body Level not long ago.
A Space Technique pulled the two into the Blessed Land Void Realm and suppressed them.
These two are valuable to him.
If used well, many troubles can be avoided.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Jian suppress the two fierce individuals, Wang Wan’s face is already full of smiles.
He steps forward.
"Old man thanks the Minister of the Imperial Treasury for his righteous rescue; the Minister’s kindness to our Wang Family is like giving us new life!"
Speaking this, Wang Wan is about to bow, but Zhang Jian hurriedly lifts him up.
"Commandant Wang, you overstate!"
"As a student, I thank my mentor for the life-saving grace!"
At this moment, Wang Xiao steps forward, slightly bows, with eyes full of gratitude. If it hadn’t been for this mentor arriving in time, the Wang Family’s fate would have been unimaginable.
Zhang Jian looks at Wang Wan and smiles.
"Commandant Wang, without several National Guardian Masters from Dong Shen Temple overseeing Haojing City, it has already become chaotic with demons and spirits running amok. The future of Haojing City will only get more dangerous. I wonder what Commandant Wang plans next?"
"This..."
After hearing this, Wang Wan hesitates. The disaster at the Imperial Palace and Dong Shen Temple can be explained as these forces targeting only the Imperial Family and Dong Shen Temple; however, this time, even the Prime Minister’s Mansion was exterminated, a chaos unseen for centuries.
No cultivator has dared to be so reckless.
As Zhang Jian said, it may get more chaotic and dangerous in the future.
Wang Xiao glances at his family members, Yun Ying’s unmarried sisters, his brothers, several sisters-in-law, and his elderly parents, his gaze fluctuates.
He can’t help but step forward and bows:
"Mentor, your Daoist Techniques are formidable; is there a way to help us avoid danger?"
Zhang Jian turns around, facing the eyes of the Wang Family, and calmly says:
"The best way to avoid danger is to leave Haojing City!"
Hearing this, Wang Wan’s eyes slightly change, feeling some difficulty. Although Daqian is currently facing unprecedented challenges, even the Emperor has suffered, the Dong Shen Temple is advancing rapidly at the Beichu front, even showing potential to break Guangyuan City and unify the Eastern Continent Fertile Land.
Wang Wan is unwilling to leave Haojing City at this time.
Despite the dangers in Haojing City, it is also filled with opportunities.
Zhang Jian notices Wang Wan’s expression and sees a slight ripple in his eyes; Wang Wan’s choice is as expected.
Leaving Haojing City means leaving the center of power. Wang Wan, having just reached the position of one of the Nine Ministers, wouldn’t want to let go so easily.
Especially with the emergence of a new emperor on the horizon.
Zhang Jian walks forward and then says:
"There is another way, though akin to a temporary relief that could turn harmful in the long run. I have two Jade Talismans here: one is called ’True Master Talisman’, which is a mark of my magical power; ordinary folks sensing such aura should know you are under my protection and will not trouble you!"
"The second is called ’Blessed Land Talisman’. If you truly encounter danger, the Wang Family can use this talisman to temporarily enter one of my shelters!"
With a flick of his hand, two sparkling Jade Talismans appear in Zhang Jian’s hand, shimmering brilliantly between his fingers.
With a snap, the two Jade Talismans fall into Wang Wan’s hand.
Wang Wan takes one look and cannot help but smile slightly; behind him, many of the Wang family’s faces show ease.
After his initial joy, Wang Wan notices Zhang Jian’s gaze upon him with a certain indifference, seeming to hold deeper meaning.
Wang Wan thinks for a moment, steps forward, and clasps his fists, saying:
"Scholar Zhang is the benefactor of my Wang Family; should Scholar Zhang need anything in the future, my Wang Family is willing to follow his lead!"
Zhang Jian looks at Wang Wan; Wang Wan is a clever man, always able to get to the point.
His two talismans are not given without conditions.
Discounting some sentiment, when speaking of commerce and politics, his protection is not free.
Given his relationship with Wang Xiao, rescuing the Wang Family once or twice is naturally no problem, but he can’t attend to them every time, as his energies are limited and many other allies resorting to Zhang Family need attention.
After chatting with Wang Wan, Zhang Jian begins to leave.
But soon after, Haojing City is boiling both inside and out.
With Haojing City of limited size, the extermination of Prime Minister Li Mansion and the Zhuang Family, home of Imperial Censor Zhuang Ying, shakes the realm; the ordeal of the Wang Mansion gradually leaks through secret channels.
Many members of the Wang Family witnessed Zhang Jian and Liu Rui’s clash with Ziyuan Daoist inside the Wang Mansion, along with numerous female attendants and servants, aided by Wang Wan’s deliberate "promotion", spreading rumors everywhere.
Before long, the Zhang Family Mansion is bustling.
...
Grand Commandant’s Mansion
Wang Huan sits in the center of the hall, with Grand General Wang You seated below, surrounded by many Wang Family clansmen and confidants of the Grand Commandant’s Wang Family.
At this moment, with Emperor Jingwu having passed away, the Wang Family no longer worries about the Imperial Family’s apprehensions and boldly displays their power.
In turbulent times, those of value always find their place.
"Father, what’s your opinion?"
Wang You gazes at Wang Huan seated on the main seat, his tall and strong figure, aura fiercely blazing, vitality like a furnace, with a heavy and robust presence surrounding him.
