Dragon's Origin

Chapter 586: The Old Taoist Takes Action (Part 1)

Everyone knew the Taoist sect would retaliate, but no one knew how they would do it.

A month had passed since the incident where experts from the Shan Yue Kingdom colluded with Taoist traitors to attack several Taoist leaders, yet the Taoist sect had taken no action. Everyone was speculating, was the Taoist sect waiting for something?

In the next few days, suddenly, everyone understood what the Taoist sect was waiting for.

The Xia, Qiu, and Tang kingdoms simultaneously revealed that the Dai Kingdom was secretly supporting the Shan Yue Kingdom. Several well-known experts from the Dai Kingdom, after attending the concert in the capital, returned to the edge of the Dai Kingdom and took flying mounts straight to the Shan Yue region.

If it was just hearsay, no one would believe it. But the three kingdoms were very tacit this time. They waited until those people arrived in the Shan Yue region, and the experts from the three kingdoms, who had been hidden for some time and not discovered by the barbarians, simultaneously launched an attack, raiding a barbarian tribe. The entire tribe was slaughtered, and not only were Dai Kingdom experts captured, but also several people from Baoqing Yu Tang.

Among those captured and killed, besides the Dai family experts this time, were also the Dai family experts who were said to have been killed by the Shan Yue Kingdom the last time Wang Sheng and the old Taoist A Qi entered the Shan Yue region.

This was a batch of direct evidence. What truly made it impossible for the Dai family to deny was that among those who tracked the Dai family experts at that time, there were not only experts from the three kingdoms, but they also invited several from the Song, Feng, Shi, and Gan kingdoms, and even a royal enshrinement followed along. Everyone saw the Dai family experts riding flying mounts.

Basically, all the eight major vassal states plus the royal family, except for the Dai family, all testified against the Dai family. What could the Dai family argue? Basically, this was confirmed!

The Qiu and Song kingdoms were located on the east and west sides of the Dai family respectively, and the Dai family was immediately on full alert. Fortunately, the Dai family was one of the eight major vassal states. If it were a small country like the Kaixuan Kingdom, it would have been divided by the three kingdoms long ago. How could it be the turn of other families?

However, even so, the Dai family was facing a formidable enemy. If the other major vassal states and the royal family were to take action at all costs, it would only be a matter of time before the Dai family was destroyed.

After realizing that the advantage in the Shan Yue region was no longer there, the barbarian experts of the Shan Yue Kingdom rapidly gathered together, concentrated all their strength, and frantically attacked the Xia Kingdom.

Originally, the Shan Yue Kingdom had already occupied Ningyue City in the southernmost part of the Xia Kingdom, obtained a large amount of supplies, and had gained a foothold outside the Shan Yue region.

Now, the Shan Yue Kingdom was launching a crazy war against the Xia Kingdom, using Ningyue City as a springboard, and captured three cities in a short period of time, connecting them to Ningyue City. In these four cities, the Shan Yue Kingdom directly migrated many barbarians from the Shan Yue region, and quickly stabilized the situation.

The three kingdoms did not dare to send a large number of experts to the Shan Yue region in order to prevent the flying mounts of the Shan Yue Kingdom, and now they had to add the Dai Kingdom, which made them even more hesitant. Even if other countries were willing to unite and jointly target the Dai Kingdom and the Shan Yue Kingdom, no one dared to do their best when there was no way to deal with the flying monsters.

Knowing that the Shan Yue Kingdom's crazy attack on the Xia Kingdom was to attract everyone's attention, all parties still had to really pay attention to it, especially the Qiu and Tang families, who still had to be careful to guard against the threat of flying mounts.

The Shan Yue Kingdom's desperate offensive bought the Dai family a respite, and the Dai family quickly sent representatives to various countries to lobby.

In any case, the Dai family was one of the eight major vassal states, with a deep foundation. No one knew what hidden cards the Dai family had. If they were really forced to desperate measures, they might really drag several countries down with them. They were all major vassal states of this level, who didn't have a few national treasures at the bottom of their boxes?

Just when the Dai family was lobbying everywhere, trying to ease the hatred of all parties, the Lao Jun Temple publicly issued a final notice to the Dai family, demanding that the Dai family give an explanation for the attack on the Taoist leaders.

Here it comes! All parties had been waiting for the Taoist sect's response for many days, and now that the Lao Jun Temple suddenly announced this, everyone had a feeling that a storm was coming.

The head of the Dai family and the elders had been racking their brains recently, patching up loopholes everywhere and lobbying everywhere. Before they could catch their breath, the Lao Jun Temple gave them such a notice, and the senior officials of the Dai family were immediately dumbfounded.

They had indeed been busy recently! Where did they have time to think about the Taoist sect that had been attacked and plotted against once? The Taoist sect had not shown strength for many years. Apart from being able to speak effectively on their own territory, which of these large families had been respectful to the Taoist sect?

Because of the chaos, they ignored the Taoist sect. This was indeed something the Dai family didn't think through, but the Dai family also felt wronged. It was the Taoist traitors who colluded with them many years ago, plotting the Shan Yue region, not to mention plotting against the Taoist leaders. These were all proposed by the Taoist traitors and discussed together. Why was the blame solely on the Dai Kingdom?

But it was not unreasonable for the Taoist sect to find them. After all, the experts who took action were from the Shan Yue Kingdom, and they used flying monsters, which was definitely inseparable from the Dai Kingdom. Moreover, the Taoist sect did not let go of their traitors, and had already captured and executed them. It was not a problem to find them, the accomplice.

Give an explanation to the Taoist sect? How to explain? In the current situation of being besieged on all sides, they could only send a slightly weighty person to the Lao Jun Temple to express their goodwill.

Because there were too many countries to contact externally, the Dai family could only send an ordinary elder to the Lao Jun Temple. The Dai family's intention was to perfunctorily deal with the Taoist sect first, and then slowly solve it when they had time. Anyway, the threat of the Taoist sect was not as great as other forces, and the priority was definitely behind.

But for the Lao Jun Temple, this could be said to be an insult. Although the Dai family really couldn't send anyone with weight at this moment. Even the specific compensation could not be agreed upon, and the so-called explanation was just a verbal cover.

What the Dai family didn't know was that Wang Sheng and the old Taoist had left the capital together and went directly to the Thousand Desolation Land. No one dared to follow them, and no one knew what the two were doing in the Thousand Desolation Land.

Their goal was known to the people of the Lao Jun Temple, the leaders of the Taoist sects, Mei'er and Rose. Everyone was slowly waiting, waiting for the moment when the old Taoist and Wang Sheng would launch a thunderous blow.

The Dai family was destined to pay a sufficient price for their previous actions. They didn't know what kind of terrible blow they would face this time. If they could know the terrible consequences in advance, I believe the Dai family would never make such a hasty decision, and would definitely attach great importance to it and have an extremely correct attitude.

Unfortunately, it's hard to buy early knowledge with money. When they knew the consequences, there was no chance to turn back.
