Dragon's Origin

“Obviously.” Wang Sheng said the first half of the sentence. Hearing this, the two women smiled. But then Wang Sheng immediately added the second half: “It’s not!”

“It’s not?” The two women were stunned. They both raised their heads from Wang Sheng’s arm and looked at him with confusion. “Why?”

“I’ve killed people from all the major families, you know that, right?” Wang Sheng looked at the two beautiful women with amusement and then asked.

This was no longer a secret. Why was Wang Sheng forced to enter the Thousand Layered Land back then? Because he was being hunted. By whom? Experts from various major families. Apart from the hidden sects at the time, all the major families had people involved.

The final result was that Wang Sheng crossed the Thousand Layered Land alone and entered Worry-Free City. All the experts from the various families who were chasing Wang Sheng died in the Thousand Layered Land.

The two women nodded at the same time. They also knew about these things, especially Rose. Rose was the one who helped Wang Sheng get his killer badge when he entered Worry-Free City, so she knew very well how many killer badges Wang Sheng had.

In addition, there was the Dai family. Dai Huan, Dai Si, Dai Wuji, the Great Elder, and countless other important figures had been killed. More than twenty experts in the Thousand Layered Land base, so many experts outside Worry-Free City, all died at Wang Sheng’s hands.

Although Song Yan from the Song family had a good relationship with Wang Sheng, and Mei’er was very jealous, Duke Song hated Wang Sheng to the bone. Several of Duke Song’s confidant experts also died at Wang Sheng’s hands. Could Song Yan alone suppress such a deadly feud?

The Shi family initially had only their branch family killed, but later the Incomparable Treasure Map was bought back from Wang Sheng. How could they not harbor resentment in their hearts?

The Xia family sent assassins like Ah Qi to plot against Wang Sheng countless times. The Qiu family instigated Zhu Shaodong in Tongxing City to deal with Wang Sheng.

…

Counting them one by one, there wasn’t a single family that hadn’t had someone die at Wang Sheng’s hands.

“So, do you think that after I killed these people from the major families, they wouldn’t have any hatred or anger?” Wang Sheng sighed and asked slowly, “You don’t think that the major families are all running charitable halls, do you? That after I killed so many of their people, they would still smile and do business with me?”

“But now…” Mei’er, of course, knew what kind of terrifying existences the major families were and immediately became anxious. She wanted to say that they were at peace now, but she immediately swallowed the words back.

How could they be at peace? So many people in the capital were staring at Wang Sheng, just waiting for Wang Sheng to show a flaw so they could plot against him.

“The reason why we can maintain this status quo is because they need something from me.” Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate to say the most crucial reason: “Before the secret of the Thousand Layered Land is completely unlocked, no matter how much the major families hate me, they will smile at me, because I still have value to them.”

This was beyond doubt. Now, apart from Wang Sheng, no one dared to pat their chest and say that they could walk back and forth in the inner circle of the Thousand Layered Land. Although the Thousand Layered Land had now lifted the restriction that experts entering would be suppressed to the seventh realm, even peak Legend experts, like the nine from the Shi family and Gan family, wouldn’t dare to say that they could safely enter and exit the core of the Thousand Layered Land without Wang Sheng.

If they wanted to unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land, then there was only Wang Sheng, no one but Wang Sheng.

“Then don’t unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land.” Mei’er gave Wang Sheng an idea without saying a word.

Rose next to her was also nodding non-stop. As long as Wang Sheng didn’t unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land, wouldn’t they be able to maintain the status quo?

“The problem is, I have a reason why I must unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land.” Wang Sheng smiled wryly.

Not unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land? What a joke! He had finally waited for the girl in his dream to say “You’ve come!” in the core of the inner circle of the Thousand Layered Land. How could Wang Sheng stop at this time?

Mei’er and Rose really wanted to know why Wang Sheng had to unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land, but now neither of them could bring themselves to ask.

This was simply a dead knot. If he didn’t unlock the secret of the Thousand Layered Land, Wang Sheng would probably be very safe, but Wang Sheng had a reason why he had to unlock the secret. It could be said that Wang Sheng was actively unlocking the secret step by step, and then getting closer and closer to the desperate situation where the major families would counterattack.

“Then what will happen then?” Rose wanted to ask, but her voice became lower and lower, obviously she had already thought of the result.

What else could happen? Once Wang Sheng lost his value, the major families would immediately show their fangs. He had killed so many disciples of the various families, did Wang Sheng still think he could end things peacefully?

Wang Sheng even firmly believed that not only the hatred for those Wang Sheng had personally killed, but even the hatred for those experts from the major families who had died exploring the secret of the Thousand Layered Land would be counted on Wang Sheng’s head. Who told you not to cooperate closely with me and minimize my losses?

“This is not fair!” After Wang Sheng said his guess, Mei’er immediately called out anxiously.

“Fair?” Wang Sheng reached out and stroked Mei’er’s delicate face: “Is there fairness in this world? If it were fair, why would Zhu Xingsheng hand over Baoqing Surplus Hall to Zhu Shaodong when you were doing so well? The eight major families are oppressing the surrounding forces so miserably, do you really think those hidden sects are really willing to be hidden? Talk to them about fairness?”

The two women were all speechless. Talking about fairness with the eight major families was really a joke. When they were sure of something, they would definitely do it with confidence if it was reasonable, and they would do it first if it was unreasonable. They might not even leave anyone alive to reason with after they were done. Fairness?

“And the royal family!” Mei’er suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Wang Sheng, “I’ll go recognize the Emperor tomorrow, and then we’ll join the royal family, how about that?”

“Are you worried that the royal family won’t die fast enough?” Wang Sheng laughed. It seemed that Mei’er was really anxious, and she even came up with this kind of idea.

The royal family was now trying to survive in the cracks, using various opportunities to strengthen themselves. If they really showed a desire to expand, they would immediately be jointly suppressed by the various families. If Wang Sheng joined the royal family’s forces, with Wang Sheng’s ability to make money, the various parties would definitely unite to put pressure on the royal family. At that time, Wang Sheng would definitely be driven out.

“Old Monarch Temple!” Rose anxiously reminded him from the side: “And Old Monarch Temple, they definitely wouldn’t dare to easily provoke Old Monarch Temple.”

“Yes, and Old Monarch Temple!” Mei’er seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. With the strength of Old Monarch Temple, they should be able to protect Wang Sheng, right?

“If I stay in Old Monarch Temple all the time, then there’s definitely no problem.” Wang Sheng knew the personalities of Lingxu Old Daoist and the Great Abbot very well, and shook his head with a smile: “But, do you think I can patiently stay in Old Monarch Temple all the time?”

“Worry-Free City!” Rose finally said the last option: “If it really doesn’t work, then go to Worry-Free City.”

Wang Sheng shook his head with a smile. Go to Worry-Free City and fight with Uncle Li?
