Dragon's Origin

“That's right.” Lu Wenhou looked at Ling'er's charming face and replied, “Which aristocratic family doesn't have several cultivation methods that can create experts at the fifth or sixth level of the spiritual realm? Have you ever seen many members within their families who can actually cultivate using them?”

“Those are the core secrets of the family, and only family members who are absolutely trusted can cultivate them!” Ling'er was well-versed in common sense and immediately responded.

“Then, the method snatched from Wang Sheng's hands, which family would be willing to let all the ordinary people in their territory cultivate it?” Lu Wenhou asked again.

This sentence completely awakened Ling'er, and she immediately understood her young master's thoughts and the reason behind them.

Noble families don't easily allow others to cultivate advanced techniques; they are family secrets. But can the secret that was painstakingly snatched from Wang Sheng be casually released for everyone to cultivate? That's impossible. It's impossible for so many ordinary people in the territory to be completely loyal to a certain family.

So, the most likely scenario is that whichever family releases this method, it will soon become a secret known throughout the world. After all the hard work, they would be benefiting others. Who would be willing to do that?

If they don't release it, then it's just another secret manual in the family's vault that can turn ordinary people into first-level spiritual realm cultivators. But the family vault already has many techniques that can cultivate fifth and sixth-level experts, so how significant is such a method?

Since neither collecting it nor making it public is a good option, which family is foolish enough to pay a high price to obtain this useless method? Perhaps at first, those families subconsciously felt it was important upon hearing the news and sent out a large number of people to snatch it. But after Wang Sheng escaped to Worry-Free City, everyone understood that it wasn't worth the loss.

According to this, the so-called secret to turning ordinary people into cultivators isn't that important or indispensable after all, and it's not something everyone has to snatch. As a result, the danger Wang Sheng faces will immediately decrease by a level.

“What about that thing he has that can create fire?” Ling'er understood one thing and immediately thought of another thing Wang Sheng had.

But as soon as this thought arose, before she could even finish asking, another idea instantly came to her mind.

As far as she knew, Wang Sheng's fire bomb only needed to be held in hand and thrown. Such a simple thing, would anyone leave it for others to snatch? If it couldn't kill the enemy in one go, if it were Ling'er herself, she would directly use this thing to perish together with the enemy. Want to snatch it? Dream on!

By analogy, wouldn't that artifact that can take a person's head from three or four miles away have the same concerns? If it can't be forced, then what's the point of snatching it?

Counting them one by one, it seems that the only thing left is the ability to enter and exit the Thousand Layered Earth. But can this ability be snatched?

First of all, it can be affirmed that no one will kill Wang Sheng. Killing Wang Sheng means no chance with the Thousand Layered Earth, but it also incurs public anger. Originally, everyone had a chance, but Wang Sheng's death would cut off everyone's hope. Don't think Wang Sheng has offended many noble families, because those who avenge Wang Sheng might be them.

The threat from the major forces, coupled with the fire last night, and the heads discovered this morning, Ling'er thought about it and suddenly realized that the guy she hated, who she thought had offended everyone and would be skinned alive even if he didn't die, actually seemed, perhaps, vaguely, possibly, to have gained a foothold in Worry-Free City?

Ling'er was dumbfounded when she came to this conclusion. How could this be possible? But no matter how she questioned it, she found that Wang Sheng really didn't seem to be in mortal danger in the short term.

This guy himself is a big hedgehog, and no one wants to taste that flame from hell again, including the city lord of Worry-Free City. In addition, someone is secretly vouching for him, and the major families have no reason to kill Wang Sheng, so he's really okay?

Don't think that Wang Sheng killed many experts from noble families, but since Wang Sheng escaped to Worry-Free City, according to the rules of Worry-Free City and this world, these hatreds must be put aside on the spot.

Although those who are unwilling can still find someone to kill Wang Sheng, the price they pay is not small. To kill an ordinary person, they have to pay the price of killing a sixth-level expert, and they have to bear the revenge of Peerless City and the hidden forces. Is it worth it?

Yu Bao Zhai is in the business of making money, and this kind of investment and output is definitely a big loss, so they will never do it. Presumably, those noble families are not fools, and the more noble families, the more they will put down this simple hatred. If Wang Sheng is willing to release some information about the Thousand Layered Earth, they might even take the initiative to befriend him.

“Figured it out?” Lu Wenhou looked at Ling'er's unhappy expression and knew she had thought of a lot. He smiled and comforted her, “Brother Wang is not a bad person, nor is he an enemy. What he did was actually forced. You don't need to be hostile to him.”

“Hmph!” As soon as Wang Sheng was mentioned, Ling'er snorted coldly again, as if she didn't want to mention anything related to him.

“We came here to wait as soon as we heard the news about him, and finally we waited.” Lu Wenhou was extremely fond of Ling'er, smiled and didn't scold her, only talked about Wang Sheng: “It was originally a gamble, but it seems that we won the bet. Order it down, in the future, Yu Bao Zhai will treat Wang Sheng as a VIP and never offend him easily.”

Lu Wenhou personally spoke, and even if Ling'er was unwilling in her heart, she would faithfully carry it out. She would not discount the young master's orders in the slightest.

Wang Sheng didn't know what was happening. He only knew that after he got up, he didn't see those people monitoring him again. The neighbors next door were still those people. Except for the fact that Ling Ba's warehouse across the street was burned to the ground, nothing seemed to have changed.

Going out, Wang Sheng directly found the killer hall and commissioned something to be done. Wang Sheng was willing to compensate twice the original price for the houses that were affected by the fire yesterday, in addition to the warehouse. However, Wang Sheng was new here and not familiar with the residents of that area, so he entrusted Peerless City to handle the compensation.

It's not that Wang Sheng has too much money to spend. It's still that speechless reason. This Worry-Free City is full of killers. If you burn people's houses for no reason without expressing anything, you don't know how you'll die on the road one day. Some small killers don't care about the grievances of those noble families. No matter who is covering them, they will kill you if they want to. Wang Sheng doesn't want to die confused.

Sure enough, the killer hall in Worry-Free City does all kinds of business. In less than two hours, Wang Sheng received a list and the amount of gold coins needed for compensation. Moreover, the owners of these houses were very satisfied with Wang Sheng's willingness to compensate double the amount. Two of them even came to Wang Sheng specifically to say hello and get to know each other.

For these people, they are not willing to be enemies with someone who can burn Ling Ba to ashes with a wave of their hand. It's good the way it is now.

The only problem is that Wang Sheng doesn't have enough gold coins.
