Dragon's Origin

Chapter 636: Negative Review (Part 2)

This is indeed a solution. If you can't do it alone, then naturally you cooperate with the various feudal lords! Is there a more suitable partner than the Xia Kingdom?

It sounds perfect, as if everyone is happy at this point. However, discerning individuals have already begun to shake their heads in their hearts, almost in despair.

Wang Sheng didn't say much, but who couldn't see the current situation? The Xia Kingdom dreams of recovering these four cities, but the problem is, which other feudal lord besides the Xia Kingdom would be willing to let the Xia Kingdom take back these four cities?

If everyone were truly so united, friendly, and helpful, then why are there so many overt and covert conflicts within the Xia Kingdom? Why are there so many bounties targeting the Xia Kingdom in Worry-Free City and Divine Might Prison?

If a rootless assassin from Worry-Free City dares to cooperate with the Xia Kingdom today, his head will probably be taken down and hung under the eaves to dry by experts from other feudal lords tomorrow. Are the open and secret struggles between the feudal lords something that a small assassin from Worry-Free City dares to interfere in?

In the end, it all boils down to one meaning: even if someone or some small group manages to complete the assassination of Wang Sheng by chance or with a stroke of luck, what awaits them is a nightmare.

The pursuit by the imperial family, the pursuit by the various feudal lords, the Xia family's all-out pursuit, or the pursuit by other feudal lords eager to eliminate them, the pursuit by Li Zhen Workshop, the pursuit by the Old Monarch's Temple, the pursuit by the entire Worry-Free City and Divine Might Prison for the bounty, and even the schemes of anyone who sees them along the way—these are all predictable consequences.

Even if they are lucky enough to survive and reach Ningyue City, they still have to face the test of whether Zhu Shaodong will keep his promise, and the attack of thousands of completely unknown and disreputable barbarian experts.

If the result is just this, then what was the purpose of killing Wang Sheng after all the effort? Just to enjoy the process of being hunted down?

When that time comes, I'm afraid that assassin won't even think about claiming the reward; they'll just flee to Worry-Free City! They have to escape all the way from the capital to the inner city of Worry-Free City to be barely safe. And the consequence is that they can't leave the inner city of Worry-Free City for the rest of their lives; otherwise, even in the outer city, they will be torn to pieces.

"Don't forget, the Mountain Yue Kingdom has many enemies. Almost every feudal lord is an enemy of the Mountain Yue Kingdom, and among them, the Xia Kingdom, the Qiu Kingdom, and the Tang Kingdom are mortal enemies of the Mountain Yue Kingdom." Wang Sheng added with a smile, "Assuming you safely receive the resources of the Mountain Yue Kingdom, then you have to take on the Mountain Yue Kingdom's grudges at the same time. Do you want to play the game of being enemies with all the feudal lords?"

The young man's head was already shaking like a rattle drum. Who would want to play such a game that would make them die faster? Only a fool would.

"Oh, right." Wang Sheng seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his head, and said to everyone, "I forgot, all of this has to be based on the premise that you can kill me. Right?"

This last sentence was directed at the young man across from him. What else could the young man do but nod? What else could he do?

"Drink." Wang Sheng tapped the table again, and the young man quickly refilled Wang Sheng's cup, but he no longer dared to drink with Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng didn't urge him, picked up his glass, and drank another cup.

"If I were in my mansion, I'm afraid you wouldn't have a good chance." Wang Sheng seemed to have transformed into an assassin, brainstorming for everyone present on how to kill himself, and spoke eloquently, "With thousands of experts guarding inside and out, even if you are very powerful, I would have already run away when you heard the commotion. There's no good opportunity, right?"

Everyone was nodding, and only after nodding did they realize that they seemed to have revealed their thoughts. What was even more terrifying was that their thinking seemed to have been guided by Wang Sheng all along.

"You, you, you..." Wang Sheng pointed to five or six people in the building in a row and said to them, "Your cultivation levels are not bad, and you might be able to kill me in a one-on-one fight. However, you forgot that Old Ancestor Ling Xu is always with me."

After Wang Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to the old Taoist priest, completely ignoring the several experts whose expressions had greatly changed, and said to himself, "But before you take action, you should always check your belt and collar. What would happen if your pants fell down once you started fighting?"

Everyone was stunned. The few people who had been pointed at by Wang Sheng hurriedly lowered their heads. One person hurriedly stood up. Before he could make any other movements, everyone heard a soft 'pop' sound. When they looked again, the expert was already holding onto the waistband of his protective suit with both hands. His belt had actually broken into two pieces at some point.

The other few who didn't stand up had even more unsightly expressions. Without him, there was a neat cut on everyone's collar. When it was cut, with what weapon it was cut, no one knew. Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest had only been in there for a while, and it seemed that they had passed by their seats, but that was all. No one saw the two of them make a move.

What was even more terrifying was that the position of the cut on the collar made people feel fear to the bone. A little deeper, and their necks would have been cut open, but they were completely unaware.

"Oh, right, the one across the street." Wang Sheng waved in a certain direction outside the window and said with a smile, "You'd better check your poison needle launcher before firing. See how many sections the needle inside is broken into?"

The person in the same wine shop across the street, near the window, also had a drastic change in expression. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was checking. When he raised his head again, he was already drenched in sweat.

"The rest of you are not as cultivated as I am for the time being, so you probably won't be my opponent in a face-to-face fight." Wang Sheng ignored the guy across the street and said to the rest of the people, "If you really want to kill me, I'm afraid you can only think of some other tricks."

"Don't move the fine poisonous hair needle under your feet. It doesn't matter if I step on it, but if someone else steps on it, wouldn't that be fatal?" Wang Sheng turned to a person on his right and smiled, then smiled at the one across from him, "Don't touch the golden red snake in your arms. Its two big teeth are scratching your chest for you."

The expressions on the faces of the two people Wang Sheng mentioned at that moment were simply as if they had entered hell, with fear, astonishment, and disbelief written all over their faces. Their bodies didn't dare to move easily, for fear of causing Wang Sheng's misunderstanding.

"Alas, it's so good to be alive!" Wang Sheng didn't know who he was talking to. As he spoke, he stood up and smiled at the young man across from him, "I'm going back to my mansion. Thank you for the wine."

"You...don't...have to...be polite!" The young man's voice began to tremble.

"Remember to add more scorpion venom next time you add iris poison." Wang Sheng waved to the young man, as if saying goodbye, "With such a small amount, my tongue didn't even go numb before it stopped working. Negative review!"
