Seeking the Wang Clan's Old Patriarch, the Truth of That Year

Wang Chen hadn't given Wang Lin Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills before, simply because he hadn't noticed Wang Lin's special talent.

At such an advanced age, even with the aid of elixirs, raising one's strength to a higher level would be extremely difficult.

Rather than switching to other advanced techniques, it's better to practice the existing techniques.

After all, advanced martial arts techniques aren't like cabbages; they're not something you can learn easily.

Having practiced previous techniques, I still have some experience.

But to everyone's surprise, Wang Lin actually possessed this special talent.

Although there are certain limitations, it's still quite terrifying.

This can be considered as opening the path to becoming Dou Sheng.

With such talent, he is fully qualified to be nurtured.

Therefore, Wang Chen also took out a High-Level Earth Tier Wood Attribute cultivation technique.

Although he also possessed a Heaven Tier Wood Attribute cultivation technique in his Storage Ring.

However, Wang Lin's current strength is still too weak, and cultivating Heaven Tier technique would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow faster.

Not only will it bring no benefit, but it will also cause endless harm.

"This..."

Wang Lin did not say he refused.

After what had happened, he understood that only by becoming stronger could he play a role in dealing with Wang Chen.

"Now that we've already accepted so many benefits, there's no time to be coy."

I must quickly improve my strength so that I can repay Xiao Chen's kindness."

Having made up his mind, Wang Lin didn't say anything more and took the High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method that Wang Chen handed over.

"Keep these two pills. After you've consolidated your Dou Qi, take one to further enhance your strength."

After Wang Lin received the cultivation technique, Wang Chen took out two more Top-Grade Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill.

Wang Lin didn't waste any words and directly accepted the pill.

At this point, any amount of assurance is meaningless.

The only right choice is to improve one's own strength and then repay the favor in a real and tangible way.

That's why Wang Lin didn't say anything more.

But in his heart, Wang Chen had become more important than himself.

If anything goes wrong, he wouldn't mind risking his life to repay Wang Chen.

Seeing Wang Lin's burning gaze, Wang Chen didn't say much, only instructing him to cultivate diligently before leaving.

Now that things were settled with Wang Lin, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he headed towards the Wang Clan's residence.

Having already visited the Wang Clan once, and with the information provided by Wang Lin, Wang Chen was quite familiar with the route this time.

Before long, they successfully infiltrated the core area of the Wang Clan.

That is, the place where the direct descendants of the Wang Clan family patriarch live.

With Wang Chen's strength, he wasn't worried about being discovered by the Wang Clan.

"This should be it."

Upon arriving at the backyard of the Wang Clan Main Line' residence, Wang Chen frowned.

He was quite surprised that he couldn't sense where the Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan was in seclusion.

After all, this situation had never occurred before, given his Soul Power.

If some Dou Zong family has some special treasure that can block his detection, that's fine.

However, it would be impossible for a Dou Ling family to accomplish this.

That means the other party deliberately hid their training location instead of choosing the safest area for their direct descendants.

"It seems there really was a problem."

However, this did not disappoint Wang Chen; on the contrary, he was even happier.

The more unusual things happen in the Wang Clan, the more likely there is something wrong with them.

The greater the chance he will find the correct answer.

So Wang Chen also started using the most troublesome, yet also the simplest, method.

It involves a thorough, carpet-like search.

This method is time-consuming and laborious, but for Wang Chen, searching for a Wang Clan wouldn't be too troublesome.

"Sniff, sniff, sniff!"

Just as Wang Chen was exploring the edge of the Wang Clan Main Line's direct lineage's arduous cultivation ground, he suddenly detected a very faint smell of blood.

If Wang Chen hadn't possessed exceptionally strong perception, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect that faint smell of blood.

Wang Chen didn't pay much attention to the smell.

After all, it's quite normal for such a large family to have fights, brawls, and bullying of the weak.

Especially in the Wang Clan.

Wang Chen had witnessed Wang Lin's miserable state before.

If it weren't for Wang Chen's overpowered appearance, Wang Lin would practically be living in hell.

There's a slight smell of blood now, which is perfectly normal.

Wang Chen paid no attention and continued to expand the scope of his exploration.

Of course, the direction of this bloody smell was also within the area that Wang Chen was investigating.

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!

As he went deeper, Wang Chen noticed that the faint smell of blood he had previously detected had suddenly intensified considerably.

This anomaly immediately caught Wang Chen's attention.

If a bloody incident occurred in the vicinity not long ago, there might still be some lingering smell of blood.

Then it wouldn't be possible for it to suddenly increase so much like it is now.

Moreover, the smell of blood became stronger, and Wang Chen sensed something special from it.

That's why Wang Chen stopped his previous thorough search and headed straight for the source of the bloody smell.

With his keen senses and terrifying strength, Wang Chen at the source of the bloody smell in no time.

It is located in a small hill within the Wang Clan's Headquarters.

The stench of blood was emanating from this small hill.

Upon arriving here, the stench of blood was already quite strong.

Even an ordinary Dou Ling would be able to detect the anomaly.

Not to mention a cheat-like Dou Emperor like Wang Chen.

He could already sense a lingering life force within the bloody scent.

This indicates that something he disliked happened inside Xiaoshan.

I hope I'm wrong.

Wang Chen frowned and stepped inside.

Wang Chen didn't hold back at all, taking down the two Wang Clan servants guarding the cave entrance with a single move.

The lingering stench of blood emanating from them indicated that they had taken at least a three-digit number of lives.

Wang Chen didn't want to believe that good deeds would be rewarded.

But evil deeds have their retribution, Wang Chen wouldn't mind helping to make it happen.

Having dealt with the gatekeeper, Wang Chen stepped directly into the passage.

Inside the passage, there were no guards, and Wang Chen encountered no obstacles along the way.

However, the deeper they went, the more Wang Chen frowned, and his mood soured.

"Ah!!!"

"Son of a bitch!!"

His powerful senses had already allowed him to detect some of the conditions deep within the cave.

His guess was correct; there were indeed some bloody things in it that he disliked.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen quickened his pace.

Before long, Wang Chen finished walking through the passage and arrived at a relatively large open area.

The situation here can only be described as extremely cruel.

In the center of this space, there is a small pool with a diameter of 3.3 meters.

Bright red blood covered the small pool.

In the middle of the Blood Pool, an old man with blood-red hair, eyebrows, and even beard sat cross-legged.

Around the Blood Pool were nine large iron cages.

Each iron cage contains a person.

There were men and women, young and old.

Everyone was firmly fixed in place, unable to move except for their heads.

A small tube was inserted into each of their hands and feet.

At the end of the tube was the Blood Pool.

Blood was constantly dripping from the tubes attached to each person into the Blood Pool.

The whole scene looked extremely bloody and terrifying.

However, Wang Chen was a man who had cultivated for many years and had even led a team to wipe out an old-established force, so he was not intimidated by this scene.

However, his initial pleasant mood, which stemmed from having a helper with Wang Lin's special talent, was completely ruined by this scene.

The aura of each person in the cage is different.

Some were even quite shrewd, able to hurl insults at the old man soaking in the Blood Pool.

Some were extremely weak; if it weren't for the iron cages securing them, they would probably have collapsed to the ground.

He's speechless now, all he can do is wait to die.

"Go ahead and curse! Curse all you want!"

The more fiercely you curse, the happier I am.

The old man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Blood Pool paid no attention to these insults, but instead spoke with great interest.

"You beast, you'll drag the Wang Clan to hell with you!"

"Hell?

Without me, the Wang Clan would not have been able to develop to this point.

I just need your help now, but Wang Sen, you're unwilling to do so.

As long as I have enough bloodline power, I will be able to fully recover and continue to break through.

"As long as I become Dou Wang, or even Dou Emperor, I will be the greatest contributor to the Wang Clan."

Faced with Wang Sen's powerful insults, the Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Blood Pool, also spoke up.

His tone grew increasingly impassioned and fervent.

Faced with the Old Patriarch's words, the old man Wang Sen in the iron cage had no way to refute them.

"I should never have gone along with your evil deeds!"

In the end, all he could do was hurl a curse, and deep down he regretted his initial choice.

"Shouldn't it be?"

Back then, didn't you also contribute a lot for resources and to climb the ladder?

You were so righteous and selfless when you made those members of the collateral branches sacrifice themselves.

Now that you're required to make a contribution, why are you complaining so much?

"You've gone mad!"

"I did it for the Wang Clan back then."

"For the Wang Clan? Hahahaha!"

"If you want to be a person, be like me, a purely evil person."

Either be like Wang Gang and become a good person whose words and deeds match.

Those hypocrites who say one thing and do another are the ones I despise the most.

That's why you were arrested.

"Having enjoyed so many resources, it's time for them to give back to the Wang Clan."

The Old Patriarch immediately refuted him, a pleased expression appearing on his face.

He thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

This feeling was his way of combating the side effects of the Blood Pool.

Otherwise, after more than ten years of arduous recovery and cultivation, he would probably have gone completely insane long ago.

Almost every time a new person came in, he would argue with them until he completely refuted them.

Wang Sen, who was almost speechless, shouted out upon hearing the Old Patriarch's words.

"Wang Gang? You still have the nerve to mention Wang Gang."

They were originally just a Wang Clan Branch Line, and never enjoyed any of the Wang Clan's resources.

So, after they became successful, who was the one who shamelessly tried to curry favor with them?

Through Wang Gang's connections, they got close to the Xiao Clan.

As a result, after the Xiao Clan suffered a setback, they turned on them like ingrates, taking advantage of their misfortune to seize the Xiao Clan's resources.

Finally, they even went and killed Wang Gang, who had made great contributions to the development of the Wang Clan.

"How dare they even mention that name now?"

Upon hearing Wang Sen's rebuttal, the Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan did not directly refute him, but instead burst into laughter.

Hahahaha! I'm too ashamed to even mention it?

How dare you say such things!

"Who was it that whispered in my ear back then that since we've already turned against them, we can't leave any future troubles?"

"Didn't you participate in the ambush and killing of Wang Gang and his wife back then?!"

"Now you're putting on a fake act in front of me, thinking I'll let you off the hook!"

"It's already a blessing that a hypocrite like you has lived so many more years."

Now is the time for you to give your all.

Having absorbed your bloodline power, I can now attempt to become a Dou Wang).

Don't worry, I will remember this achievement.

"We'll definitely put up a tombstone for you then."

The two elderly men were locked in a fierce verbal battle, each pointing out the other's shortcomings without holding back at all.

In the end, the Old Patriarch prevailed, leaving Wang Sen speechless.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Would I have the honor of hearing you two recount the specific details?"

Just as the Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan was feeling smug and completely relaxed, a burst of applause suddenly rang out.

Then Wang Chen slowly emerged from the shadows and asked.

This time, Wang Chen made no attempt to conceal his true appearance; he showed his true self.

When he entered the Blood Pool space, he planned to capture the Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan and find out the information he needed.

But to everyone's surprise, the two old men inside started arguing.

After being bombarded with all sorts of information, Wang Chen stopped and decided to eavesdrop first.

But to everyone's surprise, this turned out to be a shocking revelation.

The information I'd been trying so hard to find these past few days had suddenly appeared so directly.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Wang Chen originally planned to continue eavesdropping for a while, but since the two old men had already fallen silent, Wang Chen naturally had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

"Who?!"

The sudden sound startled the Old Patriarch who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Blood Pool, and he then roared angrily.

When he saw Wang Chen's face clearly, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

You're dead! How could you be here?!

The Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan roared, his voice tinged with fear.

"No! I'm already a peak Dou Ling, I have nothing to fear from you."

Yes! I have absolutely no need to be afraid of you!

The Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan, who had initially been filled with fear, suddenly became murderous.

His eyes were completely blood red, with no whites left.

Seeing this, Wang Chen knew that the other party had been blinded by the evil aura.

This is normal, though. Based on the information we overheard earlier, we can be sure that the Old Patriarch of the Wang Clan has been soaking in the Blood Pool for quite some time.

It's incredibly lucky that they haven't completely turned into monsters who only know how to kill after using such wicked methods for so many years.

It's only natural that problems would arise now that they're intimidated by Wang Chen's appearance.
