Dragon's Origin

“Three days!” The Third Elder of the Xia family held up three fingers to Wang Sheng, saying with a bit of a guarantee, “Give me three days, and I will definitely find out the reason.”

Wang Sheng nodded. Since the person was here, he couldn't immediately force them to give an answer: “Alright! Then three days.”

Having said that, Wang Sheng seemed to have nothing more to say. The Third Elder was even more sensible and stood up to bid farewell, while also leaving a sentence: “I apologize on behalf of the Xia family for the grievances suffered by the Madam. Compensation will be sent later, and I hope the Madam won't dislike it.”

The Third Elder left, but A-Qi was still unable to calm down.

What was this? Originally, she could only watch from afar, looking up and hoping for a glance from those important figures, feeling greatly honored. Now, they were bowing and scraping in front of her, apologizing with smiles?

To what extent had Wang Sheng's power grown to elicit such behavior? A-Qi couldn't understand at all.

“There's nothing difficult to understand.” A-Qi didn't know what she had said in her daze, but she had spoken all of her thoughts. Wang Sheng laughed directly after hearing this: “It's just that they need something from me now, don't imagine me as too outrageous. Believe me, once they have their own music grandmaster and can easily enter and exit the core of Thousand Devil Land, they will definitely change their tune.”

This was not only Wang Sheng explaining to A-Qi, but also Wang Sheng reminding himself. He seemed to be in the limelight in the capital now, but it was just a fleeting illusion. Once his value disappeared, the various vassal states would definitely show their fangs to Wang Sheng.

Perhaps even before the vassal states took action, the royal family would already be sharpening their knives. Don't think that the Emperor is so tolerant of Wang Sheng now, even tolerating Wang Sheng pointing at his nose and scolding him, but once he loses his value, those who play politics will definitely turn their faces the fastest.

Therefore, this was Wang Sheng's warning to himself, warning himself not to indulge in this illusory power. The important thing was to have the power to protect himself before the core of Thousand Devil Land was opened. In terms of cultivation, he had to at least reach the legendary realm, otherwise he would die an ugly death.

This was also the fundamental reason why Wang Sheng clearly felt the call of the girl in his dream in the core area of Thousand Devil Land, but he was hesitant to open the core of Thousand Devil Land. Of course, Wang Sheng didn't say these things to anyone, only using this explanation to A-Qi as a slight mention.

“You've worked hard these days, stay in the mansion for a while longer and take a good rest.” A-Qi was covered in dust, and Wang Sheng felt pity when he looked at her, and couldn't help but urge: “Even if you're waiting for news, it'll be at least three days, no rush.”

A-Qi obediently agreed, without refusing.

As they were talking, there was a commotion at the gate of the mansion facing the main hall, and it was Mei'er who had returned.

The current Mei'er was incredible. As soon as she entered the door, she was surrounded by people. Steward Wang, who looked so weak, suddenly appeared next to Mei'er at lightning speed, bowing with a smile on his face that could fit a gold coin in the wrinkles. Whether it was aura or prestige, Mei'er at this moment showed that she was the authentic mistress of the Duke's mansion.

“This is Sister A-Qi!” As soon as she entered the door, Mei'er went straight to A-Qi, with a smile on her face, as enthusiastic as seeing her own sister: “It's not easy to come to the capital, come, let sister take you to have a good time.”

A-Qi's gaze turned to Wang Sheng. As a female assassin who had always been cold, she had never received such a warm welcome and was very uncomfortable. As soon as Mei'er touched her, A-Qi instinctively wanted to make a move, but barely managed to restrain herself. However, the gazes of the female guards not far behind Mei'er all focused on A-Qi, making A-Qi very nervous.

Wang Sheng smiled and nodded, signaling A-Qi not to worry. A-Qi's stiff body slowly relaxed again, letting Mei'er pull her away, heading straight for the backyard. Mei'er's silver bell-like laughter did not forget to warn Wang Sheng: “Don't come peeking!”

With Mei'er's current skills, dealing with a female assassin who only adapted to the rules of the jungle and only knew how to kill was too easy. As for Mei'er's safety, Wang Sheng wasn't worried at all. Now Mei'er herself was at the sixth level of cultivation, and the guards around her were at least at the eighth level, so there was no need to be alarmed. Moreover, A-Qi had no reason to attack Mei'er.

The sudden disappearance of Baoqing Yu Tang(宝庆馀堂: Name of a shop) made more than just Wang Sheng nervous. The Qiu family, who had originally instigated Zhu Shao Dongzhu(朱少东主: Young Master Zhu) of Baoqing Yu Tang(宝庆馀堂: Name of a shop) to make trouble for Wang Sheng at the Yubaozhai(御宝斋: Name of a shop) succession ceremony in Tongxing City, was also very nervous. Zhu Lao Dongzhu(朱老东主: Old Master Zhu) of Baoqing Yu Tang(宝庆馀堂: Name of a shop) now regarded Wang Sheng as the enemy who killed his son, and the Qiu family naturally couldn't stay out of it. The reason why Zhu Shao Dong(朱少东: Young Master Zhu) ended up with that result was inseparable from the instigation of the Qiu family.

That's right, A-Qi had only been at Wang Sheng's mansion for less than half a day, and less than two hours after the Third Elder of the Xia family went back to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs, the latest news had already arrived.

In a city on the border of the Qiu family, all the Qiu family members in the city were slaughtered. The city was sealed for three days before news came out and was known by the Qiu family. This time, the people who did it did not vent their anger on the people of the city, but simply killed the Qiu family members cleanly and left calmly, not knowing where they went.

Such a big disaster, even if the Qiu family wanted to cover it up, they couldn't, let alone that the Qiu family didn't want to cover it up at all. Soon the news spread everywhere.

As soon as the news came out, all parties were in an uproar. Referring to the grievances of that year, basically everyone can now conclude that this was done by Baoqing Yu Tang(宝庆馀堂: Name of a shop), but a mere chain store dared to provoke Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng can be said to have very weak power, but they dared to provoke the Qiu Kingdom among the five major vassal states, were they really tired of living?

The massacre of the Qiu family members seemed to be a signal. Then, in less than a day, news came from Thousand Devil Land. The Qiu family's camp in Thousand Devil Land was suddenly attacked. The attackers used a lot of poison. Caught off guard, the Qiu family suffered heavy losses in Thousand Devil Land.

The most tragic thing was that more than a dozen experts who were breaking through were not only injured when their breakthroughs were interrupted, but were also attacked by a group of highly poisonous creatures. Only two people managed to escape in a hurry. The others who were on guard were a little better, but at the same time as the poisonous creatures fell from the sky, there were also unknown numbers of experts attacking. In the end, less than a hundred of the hundreds of people in the entire camp survived.

The head of the Qiu family, the current King of Qiu, spat out a mouthful of blood when he received the news and fainted on the spot. Hundreds of core disciples worth cultivating in Thousand Devil Land, with less than a hundred left dead, it was simply taking the King of Qiu's life!
