Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 365 - 267: New World!

Hearing that Wenyuan was leaving, Wang Huairen felt no emotion.

After knowing that Wenyuan was an undercover agent of Xuanzhen Temple, Wang Huairen had already anticipated this day would come.

Given the current situation, there was no point in discussing anything further.

What Wang Huairen cared about now was not whether Wenyuan was leaving, but where the Wang Family of the Scholar Tree should go.

Death Prison, or the Underworld?

Wang Huairen waved his hand weakly and said, "Brother Wenyuan, please feel free to go; you don’t need to seek my opinion."

Wenyuan nodded, cupped his hands in salute to Wang Huairen, then turned to leave.

Seeing Wenyuan’s back, Wang Huairen wanted to call out to him, asking him for a plea on his behalf.

He could die, but spare the Wang Family of the Scholar Tree a way out.

But as the words reached his lips, Wang Huairen couldn’t say a word.

The Wang Family of the Scholar Tree has been around for ten thousand years, and as the Patriarch, Wang Huairen had his dignity to consider.

Although Wang Huairen knew in his heart that this intangible pride was meaningless, he couldn’t bring himself to speak submissively in front of his former adviser.

He waited until Wenyuan reached the door before he opened his mouth.

Just as Wenyuan was about to step out of the main hall, he suddenly felt something peculiar in the gaze from behind, and he stopped in confusion.

Turning around, Wenyuan saw Wang Huairen, who appeared to have aged decades in an instant, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Patriarch, what’s the matter?" Wenyuan asked.

Wang Huairen: "???

That’s too much!

How could you not know what’s wrong with me?

Though Wang Huairen was indignant in his heart, his face remained calm.

He waved his hand and said with a lack of interest, "I haven’t rested well these past few days and am feeling a bit tired."

Upon hearing this, Wenyuan reminded him with concern, "Patriarch, you should take care of your health and get some rest."

Wang Huairen waved his hand casually, "It’s nothing. I’ll be dead soon anyway; there will be plenty of time to sleep later, so it doesn’t matter if I skip a day or two now."

Hearing this, Wenyuan was slightly taken aback.

Then, thoughtfully, he said, "Is the Patriarch planning to stay behind?"

Wenyuan furrowed his brow and said seriously, "Patriarch, think it over! Even the Crown Prince can’t handle that monster, and Xuanzhen Temple, the Imperial Clan Court, the Iron Armor Army, and the Armor-Breaking Army are all preparing to retreat."

After speaking, Wenyuan bowed to Wang Huairen and said, "Patriarch, that monster is not something the Wang Family of the Scholar Tree can contend with. According to this student’s opinion, it would be wiser to prepare for the evacuation of the clan as soon as possible!"

Hmm?

Wang Huairen was stunned for a moment.

Evacuate?

Not confiscation and extermination?

Wang Huairen, having become the Patriarch of the Wang Family of the Scholar Tree, naturally possessed intelligence that was not common.

Stabilizing his Heart Spirit, Wang Huairen immediately pinpointed the key points in Wenyuan’s words.

Monster?

The Crown Prince cannot contend with it.

Xuanzhen Temple, the Imperial Clan Court, the Iron Armor Army, and the Armor-Breaking Army are retreating.

Hiss!

Wang Huairen suddenly took a sharp breath.

His eyes were like lightning, fixing on Wenyuan, "Is this true?"

Xuanzhen Temple’s secret order did not require confidentiality, so Wenyuan did not hide it.

Upon hearing Wang Huairen’s question, Wenyuan nodded solemnly, "It’s absolutely true!"

"What kind of monster is it? A demon beast?" Wang Huairen hurriedly asked.

Wenyuan shook his head, "It’s not a demon beast. Xuanzhen Temple’s secret order says it’s a monster as large as several Secret Realms!"

The agreement to not disclose the monster’s identity was made between Zhao Yi and the male protagonist.

The male protagonist, crowned with Buddha’s Light, naturally had to protect the interests of Buddha’s Great Dao.

If the news that the monster was a fallen and demonized Buddha were to get out, Buddha’s Great Dao would be severely damaged.

Hence, the male protagonist reached an agreement with Zhao Yi.

While Zhao Yi led the people of the Cultivation World to evacuate, the male protagonist engaged the monks of the Buddhist Sect to assist and support.

After Zhao Yi led his people away, the male protagonist remained in the Cultivation World as a scout.

First, to determine whether the Nether Tree would invade the Cultivation World, and second, to assess the danger level of the Nether Tree.

Without determining the Nether Tree’s aggressiveness, staying in the Cultivation World was exceedingly dangerous.

Zhao Yi was originally considering how to observe and was even prepared to take risks personally.

But the male protagonist was willing to take the lead.

Naturally, Zhao Yi was very pleased.

The price Zhao Yi had to pay was merely hiding the Nether Tree’s origin.

This deal was an absolute bargain for him.

After Zhao Yi reached an agreement with the male protagonist, the official stance from the Great Xia Imperial Court was uniformly about the monster.

The matter of Buddha’s fall to demonic transformation was treated as if it never happened.

Upon hearing the monster invasion, and that it was a monster as large as several Secret Realms, Wang Huairen’s expression changed dramatically.

He finally understood why Xuanzhen Temple, contrary to their usual practices, ignored the risk of exposing their agents’ identities to summon all of them.

It turned out that the Great Xia Dynasty had already reached a life-or-death situation.

For a moment, Wang Huairen’s emotions became extremely complicated.

The Great Xia Zhao Clan had always imposed harsh and severe restrictions on the noble families, causing long-standing discontent among the clans.

However, intimidated by the Zhao Clan’s formidable power, the major clans had endured without revolt.

Until the Kong Clan, from unknown sources, obtained a Secret Technique that allowed them to quickly cultivate puppets at the Tier Nine Saint King Realm. The long-suppressed ambition of the noble families began to stir.

Wang Huairen wasn’t aware that the reason the Kong Clan’s rebellion could wreak havoc in Shengjing City was because high-level cultivators had been summoned by Zhao Yi to endure lightning tribulations.

The noble families witnessed the Kong Clan’s puppets burning, killing, and looting in the city, even reaching the gates of the Imperial Palace, and assumed that the Zhao Clan was already decayed and merely remained strong on the outside. Recently, they had been gearing up, preparing to overthrow the Zhao Clan completely and establish a new regime controlled by the noble families.

Wang Huairen may not have participated in those conspiracies, but he had exchanged many letters with the most rebellious of the noble families.

The Wang Family of the Scholar Tree had a legacy spanning ten thousand years, holding a special status.

Though Wang Huairen never openly supported the actions of those noble families, his correspondence with them indicated his stance.

Upon Wenyuan’s identity being exposed, only then did Wang Huairen belatedly realize the terrifying reserves of the Zhao Clan.

However, before he could fully accept the fate of the Wang Family, Wenyuan suddenly delivered even more shocking news.

The monster is coming.

The Wang Family might really be finished!

Wang Huairen felt a chill, then, like clutching at a lifeline, he hurried over to Wenyuan, pleading desperately while holding onto his sleeve.

"Brother Wenyuan, please save the Wang Family of the Scholar Tree!"

Xuanzhen Temple, with a thousand-year legacy, had already spread its branches throughout the entire Great Xia.

The Wang Family of the Scholar Tree had thousands of descendants; even Wang Huairen, as the Patriarch, couldn’t count them all.

This was also the reason why Wang Huairen had been reluctant to save Wenyuan earlier. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Even if the Great Xia Zhao Clan decided on extermination, they couldn’t completely eliminate all Wang family members.

But monster invasion was different.

The monster would kill indiscriminately, regardless of whether you were from the Zhao Clan or the Wang Clan.

At this critical juncture of life and death, clinging stubbornly to pride would indeed be the height of foolishness.

Gripping Wenyuan’s sleeve, Wang Huairen pleaded desperately, "Brother Wenyuan, where do you plan to go? Please take the Wang Family of the Scholar Tree with you!"

Wenyuan said directly, "We plan to go to another world!"

Wang Huairen: "???"

Another world?

The Underworld?
