Dragon's Origin

Chang Sheng Marquis’s residence was unique, with only two mansions facing each other on a street, occupying a large area. Coupled with some back doors, side doors, and the like, there were many places that needed defending.

The guards Meini’er brought, plus the disciples from Old Lord Temple, and the guards recruited later, totaled more than six hundred. However, Qian Sheng Yuan and Run Zi Fang each used at least two hundred, leaving only about two hundred in the Marquis’s residence.

This number of guards had to take turns, and only seventy or eighty guards patrolled and guarded normally each day. It was obviously impossible to protect Chang Sheng Marquis’s residence so tightly with so few guards.

Of course, ordinary experts could not break through so many guards and rush into the Marquis’s residence. After experiencing the impact of the World Honored Blood Blade and several unsuccessful attempts to target Wang Sheng, with the opponents paying a heavy price, basically no one dared to design against the Marquis’s residence easily.

This was the capital city. Taking action in the capital was not only targeting Wang Sheng, but also the royal family, plus the Old Lord Temple. Ordinary forces, if they didn’t want to start a full-scale war, wouldn’t want to provoke so many troublesome opponents at the same time.

But now the Triumph Palace had been forced into a corner and could no longer retreat. If they didn’t kill Wang Sheng while he was in the capital, the Triumph Palace’s arrangement in the Thousand Absolutes Land would be gone. The Triumph Palace couldn’t afford this loss, so the only way out was to kill Wang Sheng.

It was unknown why Wang Sheng didn’t directly rush into the Thousand Absolutes Land to kill the people from the Triumph Palace. Perhaps it was because everyone was in the process of choosing a location, so Wang Sheng couldn’t accurately locate the Triumph Palace’s people in the entire Thousand Absolutes Land.

Because of this, Wang Sheng had to die. They couldn’t wait until Wang Sheng found out the location of the Triumph Palace’s camp in the Thousand Absolutes Land before taking action. The sooner Wang Sheng was killed, the better, even if it meant losing so many law enforcement disciples.

Rushing into the Marquis’s residence in broad daylight? That was suicide. No matter how powerful the law enforcement disciples were, it was impossible to rush into the Marquis’s residence without alarming anyone. Wang Sheng had a fierce weapon that could kill legendary experts with an arrow from several miles away. Once Wang Sheng discovered them in advance, it basically meant death. Against Wang Sheng, there could only be one fatal blow, otherwise people would die.

These law enforcement disciples of the Triumph Palace spent a lot of effort and money to find out Wang Sheng’s whereabouts from an underground news broker who had been paying attention to Wang Sheng.

It was said that Wang Sheng didn’t stay in the Marquis’s residence every day during the day, but in a large courtyard not far from the Marquis’s residence. The courtyard often resounded with the sound of various musical instruments. In addition to a large number of musicians, there were also a dozen old craftsmen from Heavenly Work Workshop, who were there all day long waiting for Wang Sheng’s orders, busy with something unknown.

A good opportunity! Without those dozens of guards, a group of musicians and craftsmen couldn’t stop the Triumph Palace’s law enforcement disciples from killing.

However, for the sake of caution, the law enforcement hall master personally took two disciples to monitor the large courtyard from afar for a whole day. As the news broker said, Wang Sheng came over in the morning and stayed in the large courtyard. He left in the evening, only bringing six guards with him.

The cultivation of the six guards was, on average, at the seventh level, which meant that these six guards couldn’t stop the Triumph Palace’s law enforcement disciples from attacking.

What made the law enforcement hall master even more fortunate was that the six guards only protected him on the road. Once they arrived at the large courtyard, they only guarded the gate, two at the front door and two at the back door, leaving only two inside. If they launched a sudden attack, they wouldn’t have to face the six guards directly. If they could determine Wang Sheng’s exact location, they wouldn’t have to pay attention to any guards and could directly kill Wang Sheng, and then everyone could leave calmly.

It was a perfect plan. As long as it could be executed properly, not a single disciple would be lost, and the threat facing the Triumph Palace could be completely nipped in the bud.

Among the six law enforcement disciples, one had very keen hearing. He was almost always successful in tracking down errant disciples, and could hear the sound of experts of the same level running from dozens of feet away. This disciple was also a reliance on accurately locating Wang Sheng’s position.

Wang Sheng had been in the large courtyard for almost half a day. A group of musicians were blowing, plucking, and singing very hard. In between, Wang Sheng and another old man would comment. Every time they played a section, Wang Sheng and the other old man would unceremoniously point out their mistakes for a long time. The sound was so loud that the law enforcement disciple with good hearing could still hear it in another courtyard.

Naturally, he would completely repeat Wang Sheng’s words so that the law enforcement hall master could tell if there was a trap.

The hall master was indeed the hall master, and he was very calm. He not only asked what Wang Sheng said, but also asked what the old man said and how the musicians answered. He even asked what the guards were saying, in great detail.

The night before, the law enforcement hall’s disciples had taken advantage of the night to figure out the structure of the large courtyard. At this moment, through this law enforcement disciple, it was easy to mark the location of each guard and the location of Wang Sheng and the musicians.

It wasn’t until noon, when someone delivered food, that Wang Sheng and the others ate. After eating, they stopped pointing out the mistakes of the musicians and went to another place to continue studying the problem of the grand theater.

Anyway, according to the law enforcement disciple outside, everyone could basically confirm that Wang Sheng was studying with a group of old craftsmen on how to build a large building. This building was for the musicians to perform in. It needed to have the best sound effects, be strong, and be large enough to accommodate at least two hundred people.

They were studying what materials to use, how high to build it, what materials to use on the walls to absorb sound, what materials to use on the ground to absorb sound, how the stage should be arranged, and how the audience seats should be arranged. Anyway, from beginning to end, it was completely about professionally building a grand theater, without any abnormalities.

From the voices, the law enforcement disciple had already heard that there were more than sixty musicians and fifteen or sixteen old craftsmen. The musicians were in a courtyard on one side of the large courtyard, either practicing on their own or practicing together. And these old craftsmen were in a courtyard on this side, seemingly fiddling with a large wooden model.

Wang Sheng had two guards at the front door, two at the back door, and two in the middle of the hall. On the other hand, there were no guards around Wang Sheng. Either there was a group of musicians, or a group of old craftsmen.

Under these circumstances, the law enforcement hall master finally chose the moment and prepared to take action.
