Dragon's Origin

The crowd was stunned again, and then immediately began to look through the records. After some inspection, it was indeed the case. The vast majority of people had wounds on the front of their bodies, and very few had wounds on their backs. Even if they did, ninety percent were penetrating wounds, stabbed from the front all the way through to the back.

What did this indicate? If the Song family leader hadn't reminded them, no one would have realized it. But now, everyone understood almost instantly.

Wang Sheng always faced his enemies head-on when killing them, obviously afraid of them harming the woman on his back. This fighting style was actually the most helpless and tragic, almost exchanging life for life.

These dead experts were at least at the late stage of the ninth realm. Even face-to-face, Wang Sheng couldn't have the ability to kill them instantly. This wasn't like the situation when the old imperial palace guardian and the three chief guardians were fighting, where ordinary ninth realm experts couldn't get close. Almost everyone had the strength to withstand Wang Sheng head-on. In this situation, it was impossible for Wang Sheng to kill the opponent face-to-face without paying a price.

Even if only half of the people could counterattack at the moment Wang Sheng killed them, Wang Sheng would have to withstand at least twenty heavy blows. If those powerful legendary experts desperately attacked before their death, Wang Sheng would probably have to pay an extremely heavy price to withstand them. After more than twenty times, Wang Sheng was still able to leave with the person, which was simply unbelievable.

Everyone could understand why Wang Sheng had to adopt this helpless method. Perhaps it could only be said that the identity of the woman on his back was too important, so important that Wang Sheng couldn't allow her to be harmed even if he himself was injured or even died. Who exactly was she? Why would Wang Sheng do this?

At this moment, those responsible for chasing Wang Sheng, apart from the representatives of the eight great families who were present at the time, as well as the heads and elders of the eight great families, had no idea about Lin Ling's identity, let alone what had happened in the underground world. They could only infer from some signs that the woman's identity was extremely important, which was also in line with the secret instructions from the heads of each family. Everyone was very curious about who the woman was.

Carrying a weak woman on his back and fighting more than fifty experts head-on, the experts from the eight great families in this area felt a surge of heat in their hearts just thinking about Wang Sheng's battle. Even as enemies, it didn't prevent them from admiring the Duke of Changsheng from the bottom of their hearts. They were combat experts, especially admiring this kind of heroic spirit of going forward despite the presence of thousands of people for a noble purpose.

Being an enemy with such a hero must be a delightful and satisfying thing, right? Everyone was looking forward to the next battle. If possible, they would never attack the woman on the Duke of Changsheng's back. They would rightfully choose to confront the Duke of Changsheng head-on, even if they failed. This was respect for a true hero.

"Maybe I know who these people are." Just as everyone was thinking about how to fight after encountering Wang Sheng, the leader of the Shi family suddenly said this.

Everyone's attention was drawn back again. Everyone was extremely curious about these experts who died at Wang Sheng's hands and had been guessing their identities.

"Combining everything, they brought a total of four heavy sniper crossbows." The Shi family expert pointed to the heavy sniper crossbows placed side by side: "I just checked, they should be genuine heavy sniper crossbows, not imitated small-power heavy sniper crossbows. What does this mean? Brother Gan, do you still remember the Linglong Pavilion's quotation for heavy sniper crossbows back then?"

"Fifty million gold coins each." The Gan family leader quickly replied. This wasn't a secret. Many people knew about what happened back then. The Shi family leader asked the Gan family leader beside him, but without him saying it, everyone else had already said the answer in their hearts.

"Four heavy sniper crossbows, two hundred million gold coins." The Shi family leader smiled bitterly: "Who can afford such expensive things?"

The Qiu family leader's eyes lit up: "Lizhen Workshop!" After answering this, he immediately realized that he had said something stupid, and then added: "And the Imperial Family."

In the whole world, the only ones who wouldn't care about two hundred million gold coins were probably Lizhen Workshop. The Qiu family leader said it subconsciously, but not only him, everyone else included, who would believe that the people from Lizhen Workshop would use heavy sniper crossbows to deal with Wang Sheng?

On the other hand, the Imperial Family he mentioned later was suspicious. Everyone knew that Lizhen Workshop was opened in the Imperial Family's territory. It was obviously impossible not to give the Imperial Family face in the capital. The Imperial Family definitely had a share in Lizhen Workshop. This could be seen from the fact that the Qian Shengyuan's signboard was personally inscribed by the Emperor. Moreover, Runzi Workshop was simply allocated land by the Imperial Family, and there was even an imperial decree prohibiting men from entering. Was it possible that the Imperial Family had no share?

The Imperial Family also had enough reasons to deal with Wang Sheng. Not to mention the huge profits of Lizhen Workshop, there were four or five princes who died directly or indirectly at Wang Sheng's hands, and more than twenty imperial family members in total. Most of the property from the confiscated families was sent to the Duke of Changsheng's mansion. Wasn't this hatred?

"It's not the Imperial Family." The Shi family leader shook his head directly: "It's just that the beauties around the Duke of Changsheng are too outstanding. Now the Emperor can't wait to stuff all the princesses in the imperial palace into the Duke of Changsheng's mansion to win him over. How could he do such a stupid thing?"

"Besides Lizhen Workshop and the Imperial Family, which family has such great wealth?" If it wasn't Lizhen Workshop or the Imperial Family, no one could afford four heavy sniper crossbows. The Qiu family leader frowned and asked: "Could it be those chain stores? The manpower they secretly cultivated? Learning from Baoqing Yutang? Want to die?"

When he spoke later, the Qiu family leader's face was already a little cold, as if he was about to settle accounts with those chain stores in the next moment. How dare they play this kind of trick under the eyes of the eight great families? Were they tired of living? It seemed that the Baoqing Yutang incident hadn't taught those greedy guys a lesson.

Not only the Qiu family was thinking this way, but the faces of the other family leaders were also not very good. They were doing things behind the backs of the eight great families, and even snatched the chase of Wang Sheng ahead of the eight great families. They clearly didn't take the eight great families seriously. If this kind of thing happened even once, they would have to uproot them, otherwise how could the eight great families command the world?

"It's not certain whether it's those chain stores, but there's actually another family that can afford heavy sniper crossbows." The Shi family leader didn't think that the Qiu family leader's analysis was wrong, but he still added a sentence. Under everyone's inquiring gaze, the Shi family leader smiled bitterly and said his answer: "Linglong Pavilion! Linglong Pavilion, which manufactures heavy sniper crossbows, can definitely afford four heavy sniper crossbows, and it wouldn't be a problem to have a few more."
