Dragon's Origin

Chapter 756: Mending the Fold After the Sheep Are Lost (Part 1)

For the Eight Great Families, the secrets of the Perpetual Killing Zone must be mastered; there's no question about that.

However, according to Wang Sheng, to master the secrets of the Perpetual Killing Zone, they need to release the seals of those experts. Otherwise, everyone can only watch the secrets of the Perpetual Killing Zone right before their eyes but be unable to obtain them, merely salivating in vain.

Then the problem arises: no one knows which family the twenty-four sealed experts belong to. If they are from the Eight Great Families, that would be fine, but what if they are from other families? Over the past five hundred years, the Eight Great Families have destroyed many families and sects. Who knows if someone might emerge seeking revenge for their destroyed family and sect?

When Lin Ling came out, she was extremely weak, but that was because she had already fought thousands of experts from various families once when she was sealed, and she was already weakened. But those experts who voluntarily sealed themselves might not be like that. They might emerge in their strongest state. What will the Eight Great Families do then?

Although everyone can initially delay by pretending not to know the specifics, what will happen once the other party knows the truth? At this time, Lin Ling is actually the best target to divert attention. Those experts will definitely not want to see Lin Ling recover, even if they have a great feud of destroying their family and sect right now; they will solve Lin Ling first.

Keeping Wang Sheng and Lin Ling is to provide a buffer for each family. The people of the Eight Great Families also firmly believe that their own experts must be sealed. As long as their own experts are unsealed, then everyone will be in a relatively safe environment.

If those experts from other families cooperate, that's good; if they don't cooperate, the experts from the Eight Great Families can suppress them together. What the Eight Great Families need is to ensure that no problems arise during the time it takes to unseal their own experts. Therefore, during this time, Wang Sheng cannot die, or more precisely, Lin Ling cannot die; she must live to be a target.

This is the most secure method that the patriarchs and grand elders of the Eight Great Families could think of in a short time. Therefore, they directly ordered their own Perpetual Killing Zone experts to trap Wang Sheng step by step without rushing, and even release water slightly when necessary, as long as they keep Wang Sheng in a state where he can be dealt with at any time.

When Wang Sheng told Song Yan those secrets, he also had such an idea in mind. Wang Sheng's purpose was very simple: to delay time as much as possible. As long as he delays until Lin Ling can recover a portion of her strength, then Wang Sheng will no longer have to worry about anything.

But now, because of the Dai family leader's foolish behavior, the wishes of the Eight Great Families' higher-ups have directly fallen through. So many people surrounded Wang Sheng, and people died. The experts below don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, so it would be strange if they didn't attack.

As four or five figures rushed towards this side, the giant bear also roared and pounced towards the rushing figures.

Crack! Despite its huge size, the giant bear's agility is excellent. Without any obstruction, it accurately bit an expert pouncing from the air in one bite, ignoring the weapon that had already pierced its face, and bit the opponent into two pieces.

At the same time, the giant bear's huge paw slammed into another expert's body, sending him flying back at the same speed he had come. Fortunately, there were many people behind him, and two experts quickly soared into the air, forcibly catching his body. Even so, the three people flew backward for several dozen feet before cushioning all the force, and finally crashed to the ground after hitting a large tree.

However, the other three who rushed out took this opportunity to stab their weapons fiercely into the giant bear's body. The giant bear's left shoulder, near the neck, took a heavy blow. A spear pierced almost three feet deep, and the spiritual energy carried on the spear directly caused the giant bear to retreat three or four steps, almost falling on its butt.

The opponent reacted extremely quickly. After discovering that he could not kill the giant bear with one move, he immediately withdrew and retreated without being greedy for merit. The other two were a little greedy. Their weapons were stuck in the giant bear's body, and they wanted to take this opportunity to kill with one blow, their bodies still hanging on the weapons.

Just as they were about to launch a fierce spiritual energy attack, the giant bear's long fur stood on end like countless sharp, fine thorns, directly penetrating their protective suits and piercing into their bodies.

In just an instant, the two experts who did not have time to retreat directly turned into blood gourds, with hundreds and thousands of tiny wounds all over their bodies, and the blood all over their bodies directly stained a piece of the giant bear's fur red. After struggling only twice, the two experts turned into two small ornaments hanging on the giant bear, motionless.

Wang Sheng had no way to fight alongside the giant bear at this time, and could only use the Nine Words Mantra to help the giant bear relieve its injuries. It must be said that the giant bear's vitality is much stronger than that of humans. Stimulated by the Seven Words Formula, the wound that had just been stabbed quickly stopped bleeding, and even the weapon that had been stabbed into its body seemed to be slowly squeezed out by its muscles. That strange scene made the experts of the Eight Great Families watching on the opposite side feel cold in their hearts.

“Let our people slowly retreat to the back and don’t take action.” After scolding the Dai family guy, the Song family leader rushed directly to a place not far from the battlefield. From a distance, he happened to see the giant bear recovering after Wang Sheng's giant bear took action. After looking at Wang Sheng and the three people behind the giant bear on the treetop, he decisively ordered.

The Song family had always been in the backward position. No matter how close the people from other families chased, they were always in the middle and rear of the team. At this moment, seeing the gestures and signals made by their own people, everyone began to shift their positions silently. It seemed like they were looking for a more suitable time to attack, but in fact they had slowly fallen to the back and could leave the battlefield at any time.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the giant bear and Wang Sheng and the others. These seemingly inadvertent actions of the Song family experts did not attract much attention.

However, not everyone noticed. At least the Tang family leader watched silently as the Song family people fell behind without saying a word. After thinking about it, he quietly gave an order to his subordinates around him.

The Tang family did not have such a good relationship with Wang Sheng, but the Tang family did not necessarily want to put Wang Sheng to death like the Dai family. As long as Wang Sheng does not break through from the Tang family's side, the Tang family can temporarily stand still, neither taking the initiative to attack nor taking the initiative to let Wang Sheng go. Everything will have to wait and see.

Compared to the Tang and Song families, the Dai family leader was in a very bad situation. Reminded by the Song family leader, he realized that he might have caused a catastrophe. Under compulsion, he could only try to remedy the situation.

“Kill that bear, but keep the lives of Changsheng Gong and the others.” After pondering for a moment, the Dai family leader finally issued an order: “It would be best to capture Changsheng Gong and the two women beside him alive.”
