Dragon's Origin

Those who could become elders and important ministers of a feudal lord were not easily fooled. They instantly understood the key point.

The disasters that the Xia family had experienced would likely be experienced by every other family without exception. Now, it depended on whether Wang Sheng had released the information.

"It is said that staying in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land for too long, and then quickly returning to the outside, one would get a strange disease due to the sharp decrease in spiritual energy concentration," an elder quickly answered the Grand Elder's first question. "Later, Duke Changsheng said this is called decompression sickness."

This matter was not widely spread at the time, but each family still bought the information from the Shi and Gan families. Anyway, it was just a piece of information, and the price was not cheap, but anything involving the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land was worth it.

"Duke Changsheng probably hasn't released the information yet," Duke Xia pondered, answering, "It's most beneficial for Duke Changsheng if other families don't know."

"Then use this information to exchange for a period of time where other families won't take action," the Grand Elder decided immediately. "Complete the matter before Duke Changsheng reacts."

"What about Duke Changsheng's side?" Duke Xia's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"If they want to know what kind of disease it is, they have to ask Duke Changsheng." The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "Maybe it can make Duke Changsheng a lot of money, maybe…"

Towards the end, the Grand Elder became increasingly hesitant. With Wang Sheng's current wealth, would he still care about the gold coins from each family? This was the reason why he couldn't be sure.

"As long as each family can refrain from taking action for a period of time, then we will have a chance to recover." Duke Xia, as expected, also realized this problem, but he immediately made a decision. It was better to have less pressure, and solving one problem at a time was the way to do things, right? One by one, solve them one by one.

"Doesn't that mean we have to tell each family that something happened to us?" An elder asked this question with doubt. But he immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question. If they didn't say it, wouldn't Wang Sheng say it?

"Don't be afraid of them knowing." This time, the Grand Elder was very certain, "Our Xia family's people died cleanly inside. How can any of their families feel at ease? We can't be the only ones worried, right?"

Everyone was astute and immediately understood the Grand Elder's words. The Xia family being killed cleanly meant that none of their families inside would be at peace. Under such apprehension, they would probably psychologically stand on the opposite side of Wang Sheng. Wasn't the Lin family five hundred years ago like this? It was because everyone was apprehensive that they united to exterminate them. If Wang Sheng incurred public anger, it wouldn't be just the Xia family's problem.

"Do it this way, immediately send letters to each family." Duke Xia, not caring about his injuries from vomiting blood, immediately gave the order.

A moment later, more than a dozen messenger birds flew from the Xia King's Palace, flying to various places. The Xia country's meeting was already in the late afternoon, and by the next morning, all countries, including the Emperor, had received the message from the Xia country.

On this one morning, the Emperor and the major feudal lords did not know how many breakfast utensils they had broken in shock, all of which happened after seeing the urgent message sent by the Xia country.

One person, facing eighty-six legendary masters of the Xia country, including more than twenty peak legendary masters, was actually no match for Wang Sheng even in a battle of attrition? How high was Wang Sheng's cultivation?

Finally, after reading further, they discovered that so many masters of the Xia family had stayed in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land for a long time and contracted a strange disease that no one but Wang Sheng knew about. This led to a sharp decline in their strength, which allowed Wang Sheng to deal with them alone. Seeing this, everyone understood.

At this time, someone finally suddenly thought of why Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu never stayed in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land for more than three months. It turned out that if they exceeded this period, the unknown strange disease would probably come knocking on their door.

So that's how it is! That's how it is! How insidious Wang Sheng was, not mentioning a word about it, and actually playing this trick.

Instantly, each family became anxious. Fortunately, the people they had sent in had only been inside for two months, less than three months, so there was still time. However, the Shi family became the most anxious, because their masters had been inside for more than eight months. After eight months, the strange disease had probably already found those masters inside, right?

If it were ordinary people, the various parties would definitely not believe it, but this time, Duke Xia made a solemn oath and used this information to exchange for a year of non-aggression against the Xia country, so the weight of this was self-evident. Out of curiosity, all parties nodded, and then they got accurate information that was impossible to be false. If the Xia family wanted to deceive the various parties on this kind of matter, unless the Xia family really didn't want to continue existing.

Among the eight great families, at least five were secretly rejoicing, thankful that they didn't let their people take action outside the city at that time. Otherwise, the fate of the Xia family's manpower in the Thousand Absolutes Land would probably happen to them one after another.

Fortunately! At the critical moment, the person in charge in the capital did not let those principals take action, which simply saved the family many lives! The heads of the five families couldn't wait to hug their own principals in the capital and give them a hard kiss, and then give them a big reward.

As for the Shi and Gan families, they seemed to be not surprised by this. They were the only ones who had seen Wang Sheng's huge advantage in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land. It would be foolish to take action against Wang Sheng when their own people were still in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land and when they still had interests in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land.

That day, when the principals of each family discussed taking action against Wang Sheng, the Shi and Gan families agreed verbally, but turned around and used the excuse that the masters had not arrived in time to perfunctorily dismiss it. Now it seemed that they had sold Wang Sheng a great favor. The principal of the Shi family was thinking about whether to immediately visit Princess Yongning at the Changsheng Duke's mansion to see if the Duke had a solution to the strange disease.

The Shi family had the same idea, the Gan family also had it, the Tang family had it, and the Song family also had it. Even the Emperor couldn't help but want to know. The families had the same idea, so the previous scene appeared again. After the principals of each family visited the Emperor, Steward Zhou came to the Changsheng Duke's mansion with a respectful attitude to visit Princess Yongning.

"Want to know the solution?" Meiniang asked Zhou Guanshi with surprise: "Are you willing to pay a high price to buy it?"

"That's right, Princess." Zhou Guanshi replied with a smile: "As long as the Princess gives a number, they will immediately offer it up without bargaining."

"Forget it!" Meiniang knew about Wang Sheng's news, was in a good mood, and was uninterested when she heard this. She was too lazy to pay attention: "I promised not to do these businesses anymore. I'm happy this time, so I'll give you some free pointers."
