Dragon's Origin

Chapter 571: The Gan Family Cries (Part 1)

The people of the capital were destined to be shocked today.

Old Lord Temple, which had always been low-key, not paying much attention to worldly affairs, and not fond of fighting, suddenly had dozens of Daoists today, bringing dozens of corpses into the capital, and heading straight for the Gan family's guild hall.

The Gan elder stationed in the capital was completely unaware of what had happened and was frightened by the corpses sent by the Daoists. Among the dozens of corpses, he recognized more than a dozen. Of the remaining twenty or so, it wasn't that he didn't recognize them, but their heads had exploded, and he couldn't identify them for a while. There were only a few he had never seen before.

When he saw the corpses of these familiar people, the Gan elder's mind buzzed, and it directly exploded. His first reaction was whether the Gan family had suffered some kind of catastrophe. How could even experts of this level have died? After his mind calmed down, he realized the problem. Why were these corpses sent by the Daoists of Old Lord Temple?

The leading old Daoist responsible for delivering the corpses was also of the Qing generation. It was unknown whether it was Wang Sheng's instruction or his own temper was just too irritable. He had people place the corpses in the Gan family's guild hall. When he saw the Gan elder come out, he directly sneered.

"Gan elder, these people ambushed us on the way back to Old Lord Temple, wanting to assassinate Old Ancestor Lingxu and Elder Wang." The old Daoist said these words with a sneer: "But their luck was bad. Just as they attacked, our Old Lord Temple's team that went out to welcome us also arrived. Elder Wang is kind-hearted and said that Elder Gan, you definitely don't know about this, so he asked us to send the corpses back. Also, he wants you to ask what exactly happened and give Old Lord Temple and the Changsheng Duke's mansion an explanation."

After dropping these words, the old Daoist turned around and left. The group of Daoists who came with him all turned around and left swiftly.

After walking out for a while, the old Daoist seemed to remember something and reminded the Gan elder: "After you find out what happened, go to the Changsheng Duke's mansion to talk to Madam Mei about how to explain things."

The old Daoist didn't tell the whole truth. For example, originally two people took action, but now it became the large team of Old Lord Temple who took action. For example, the wounds on those corpses were further processed on the way, so it couldn't be seen that only two people had done it.

This was to show weakness to the enemy, not letting the enemy know the true strength of their people. In fact, the old Daoist himself couldn't help but tremble after checking these corpses on the way. They were all legendary masters! Among them, there were many legendary peak experts, but they were all killed cleanly by Wang Sheng and the Old Ancestor.

From hearing the explosion and seeing the black smoke to when they rushed over, twenty miles was only a quarter of an hour for these experts. In a quarter of an hour, the two not only killed more than forty experts, but also searched them clean, and the corpses were arranged neatly. What kind of concept was this?!

More than forty experts probably didn't even last five minutes in front of the two. Wang Sheng must be at the seventh or eighth level, it's impossible for him to be so powerful, so that can only mean that Old Ancestor Lingxu was already a terrifying expert beyond their imagination. The people of Old Lord Temple were very proud of this.

The Daoists of Old Lord Temple came and went quickly, but the onlookers were in layers, following from outside the city gate all the way to here. Everyone was waiting to see what exactly happened.

Of course, the old Daoist's words had already explained a lot. At least the surrounding people had already heard that these people wanted to ambush Wang Sheng and Old Ancestor Lingxu on the road, but their luck was bad and they ran into Old Lord Temple's large team coming to meet them, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

For the time being, everyone knew only this much. The identities of these people should be from the Gan family, but everyone hadn't had time to distinguish which family they were from. As for the casualties on Old Lord Temple's side, everyone didn't know. They only knew that Old Lord Temple was forced to come to their door in a hurry.

The people outside were watching the excitement with various thoughts. There were also people from other forces watching and quickly sending the news out.

The Gan elder finally reacted. Now he couldn't care about what explanation to give or not. He had to stabilize the situation first. The Gan elder gave an order that the Gan family's guild hall would be temporarily closed and would not receive guests. The existing guests were all politely and forcefully invited out, and those corpses were immediately carried to the backyard.

The Gan elder knew exactly what these experts were going to do. Even the news of Wang Sheng and the Lingxu Old Daoist leaving the city was sent out by the Gan elder here using a messenger bird.

Originally, this group of experts was hiding at the border between the Gan Kingdom and the capital, at the edge of the Thousand Absolute Land, waiting to give the next force entering and exiting the Thousand Absolute Land a hard time. Anyway, the situation was so chaotic now, as long as it was done cleanly, no one would know who did it, and the attacked could only suffer in silence.

Forty-five experts, including more than twenty legendary peak experts and more than twenty legendary mid-late stage experts, were all elites among elites. Such power was enough to attack and assassinate a team of more than twenty people of the same level, but the Gan family, out of caution, used forty-five experts to deal with two people in order to capture Wang Sheng alive and kill the Lingxu Old Ancestor.

As a result, now forty-five corpses were placed in the backyard of the Gan family's guild hall without a single one missing. The Gan elder didn't know how to cry. Should he cry that these experts had bad luck and didn't choose the right time to ambush, and were caught by Old Lord Temple's large team? Or should he cry that the news he sent was not timely, and he shouldn't have had the idea of moving Wang Sheng and the Lingxu Old Ancestor at this time?

In any case, the Gan family suffered a great loss this time! Forty-five legendary mid-late stage and legendary peak experts, just this loss alone could make the king cry directly. This didn't even include the explanation to be given to Old Lord Temple and the Changsheng Duke's mansion afterwards.

The Gan family was relatively strong, so they wouldn't give an explanation? Was that a joke? Did the Gan family still want to enter the core of the Thousand Absolute Land in the future? Did they still want concert tickets? Now that the Changsheng Duke's mansion controlled these two key places, even if the Gan family was unhappy, they had to bow their heads.

But did they really have to face Madam Mei of the Changsheng Duke's mansion? Was that someone ordinary people could face? Didn't they see how the Qiu family, Xia family, and Tang family looked like their families had died a few days ago? The Xia family didn't know what they had obtained, and the entire Xia Kingdom was forced to sell their property. Could that be easily faced?

Wang Sheng already had a nickname called "Money-grubber". Didn't the people at home know that Madam Mei of the Changsheng Duke's mansion now had a nickname called "Money-snatcher"? A master who could squeeze gold coins out of people's bones and marrow. Without two hundred million gold coins, they wouldn't be able to leave the Changsheng Duke's mansion.

It was too late to say anything now. Originally, the Gan elder just sent a message out, and he wasn't the one who made the decision. The Gan elder could only send the message back and let the family head and other elders have a headache. Crying to death!
