Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 753: The Identity of the Dead (Part 2)

That's right! The Exquisite Pavilion can certainly afford it. They built it themselves, and it's said that even the materials were purchased from the Exquisite Pavilion back in the day by Wang Sheng.

Excluding the Exquisite Pavilion's profit on materials and the master craftsman's labor costs, a calculation would probably show that the cost of a heavy sniper crossbow is at most one-fifth of the fifty million gold coins. They can get four to five heavy sniper crossbows for the price of one, so of course they can afford it.

"So which family is it?" There were so many suspects that everyone didn't know who to suspect.

"They have more than thirty legendary masters," the Song family leader reminded subtly, and several quick-witted people suddenly understood.

"Most of the four concerts in the capital were taken by our eight great families and the royal family," the Xia family leader said quickly after this reminder, "Other small families and forces only got a small number of places. The one with the most only has twenty legendary masters, and they've all been seen before. Where did they get thirty legendary masters that no one has ever seen?"

"Besides Changsheng Duke, who else can get the Grandmaster Orchestra to perform secretly?" The Dai family leader also immediately focused the question on the Grandmaster Orchestra.

Now, almost every legendary master, except for a few, is related to the Grandmaster Orchestra. Without the help of the Grandmaster Orchestra, no one can spontaneously enter the advancement state. That's why, after advancing to the legendary realm, many masters only have stronger spiritual energy cultivation, but their combat power hasn't improved much.

More than thirty legendary masters that no one recognizes can only mean that the other party must have the ability to get the Grandmaster Orchestra to perform secretly. If you consider this, it seems that all the suspicion is focused on the only choice—the Exquisite Pavilion.

Besides Wang Sheng and the Exquisite Pavilion Master, who else can get the Grandmaster Orchestra to perform? Wang Sheng is definitely not the mastermind, so the only one left is the Exquisite Pavilion Master. The answer seems very clear.

With this direction, everyone combined the things found on some people and their physical characteristics, and it didn't take long to reach a conclusion.

These fifty-three people are obviously from the Exquisite Pavilion, and a large part of them should be the most secretive group of master craftsmen in the Exquisite Pavilion responsible for minting coins. I just don't know if the mysterious Exquisite Pavilion Master is among them.

How could the family leaders responsible here not know that the guy in the capital who claims to be the Exquisite Pavilion Master is just a figurehead? Even the heads of the major families don't know who the real Exquisite Pavilion Master is, let alone them. However, at this moment, they extremely hoped that the mysterious Exquisite Pavilion Master would die among these people.

Unfortunately, no one knows the answer. Except for Wang Sheng, probably no one would know that among these people, there is one Exquisite Pavilion Master they are particularly curious about.

"Our people have already set up a dragnet within a hundred miles around," the Feng family leader looked very calm and only brought up the main topic after everyone had finished speaking: "If Changsheng Duke is injured and is carrying two female burdens, I'm afraid he doesn't have a chance to leave a hundred miles."

"Send a signal, tell everyone to be careful and on guard, and kill anyone who discovers any outsiders!" The Xia, Dai, and Gan families couldn't wait for Wang Sheng to die immediately, so the three looked at each other and immediately and resolutely ordered.

This order was not specifically directed at Wang Sheng, but said any outsiders, which was consistent with the previously agreed-upon statement of the eight great families. Even if other families opposed it, they couldn't say anything. Moreover, even if some of them had ulterior motives, they wouldn't show it at this moment.

Wang Sheng indeed did not leave beyond a hundred miles. With his current physical condition, carrying two girls, being able to leave twenty miles before the search party arrived was already the limit.

The two women had almost no ability to move. One needed Wang Sheng to carry her on his back, and the other needed Wang Sheng to hold her. In the impassable dense forest of the Thousand Absolute Territory, the speed simply couldn't increase. Moreover, Wang Sheng had to cover up his traces from time to time, which further slowed down the speed.

Fortunately, as long as Wang Sheng's spiritual energy was sufficient, the Nine Words Incantation could be used to regulate the body and command the insects and monsters in the Thousand Absolute Territory. There was no need to worry about the attacks of these little things. Like the eight great families, Wang Sheng's order to the insects he passed was the same: kill anyone except the three of them.

Song Yan would not participate in the action to hunt them down. She would only unlock the seals one by one in the underground space. That matter was obviously more important than hunting down Wang Sheng, so Wang Sheng didn't need to worry about accidentally injuring Song Yan.

Furthermore, even if Song Yan really came, Wang Sheng wouldn't need to worry. Song Yan would never lack legendary-level guards by her side. If Song Yan could be injured by some insects in the Thousand Absolute Territory under the protection of legendary masters, that would be a big joke.

That order was just a small trouble that Wang Sheng used to slow down the speed of the masters chasing him. It was impossible to have any substantial damage. But this could effectively hinder the pursuit and encirclement of those masters and allow Wang Sheng to seize the opportunity to leave.

However, after all, in a dense forest with no roads at all, Wang Sheng still left traces that could not be completely eliminated when he left with A'Qi in his arms. At least forty people followed the traces he left and chased after him with difficulty. At the same time, the highest level of alert had been issued, and the masters of the eight great families almost without exception surrounded this area.

"Tell our people to act according to circumstances, and remember the eldest miss's instructions." The Song family leader knew that the Song family could not stay out of it, but still took the opportunity to have one of his subordinates convey his orders.

The leaders responsible for the eight great families issued orders almost entirely in secret, but the content varied.

With an average of fifty masters per family, more than four hundred masters rushed to this area from all directions in a short period, forming a dense encirclement twenty miles away from Wang Sheng's location. After everyone was in place, the encirclement began to shrink little by little, gradually squeezing Wang Sheng's hiding space.

Wang Sheng had already realized that something was wrong. Although he didn't have the bonus of the combat consciousness little man, Wang Sheng's sensitive senses had already discovered that there were masters around him.

After the royal people left, it was the Exquisite Pavilion. After the people from the Exquisite Pavilion were all dead, who would it be this time? Wang Sheng simply no longer fled, stood in a position where he could lean back and rest, trying to restore a little more energy to face the upcoming war.

Just after closing his eyes and resting for less than an incense stick of time, Wang Sheng suddenly showed a smile on his face. Not far from here, there was actually a giant bear from the Thousand Absolute Territory that had just entered Wang Sheng's exploration range.
