Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 588: Aftermath (Part 2)

While Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Ling Xu were still inside the inner circle of the Thousand Absolutes Land, thanking Great Snow for accompanying them on a long trip, various parties had already begun desperately inquiring about the casualties at the Dai Kingdom's royal palace.

It was now confirmed that the heads of the Dai Kingdom's ruler and the Great Elder had been taken, and none of the guards present at the time had survived. Many people had also died in the harem, but the exact number was only an estimate, similar to the information obtained by the Gan Kingdom, with a minimum of five to six hundred and a maximum of over a thousand.

The Dai Kingdom had originally wanted to block the news, but the elites in the capital were basically all in the royal palace, and almost all of the palace's experts had been wiped out. There was no one left to stop those with ulterior motives from entering the ruins of the royal palace to investigate.

Apart from the ruler and the Great Elder, the other important elders had been sent to various countries to lobby, and there was no one in charge in the capital. This led to the entire Dai Kingdom's capital being in chaos, almost turning into an undefended city.

Under such circumstances, the spies of various parties in the Dai Kingdom, in order to obtain more accurate information, did not hesitate to expose their identities and forcibly went up the mountain of the royal palace to carefully investigate. By noon on the third day, various parties finally had more detailed information.

Judging from the traces in the ruins of the royal palace, there was more than one person involved. Especially the initial violent explosion, which occurred after Old Ancestor Ling Xu's voice, was the key to turning the entire royal palace into ruins.

The Dai Kingdom's royal palace's council hall was the center of the explosion, and that place had directly become a deep pit several dozen feet deep. The council hall had long disappeared without a trace. The scene was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Some attentive people remembered that when the legendary killer Blood Blade of the Divine Might Prison assassinated Wang Sheng, an explosion also occurred at the Chang Sheng Duke's mansion, with the same strong smell of gunpowder.

Obviously, Chang Sheng Duke was among those who took action. It was not surprising that Wang Sheng was a secular disciple of the Old Lord Temple, said to be a junior brother accepted by Old Ancestor Ling Xu on behalf of his master. It was not strange at all for Wang Sheng to follow along to kill the Dai family at such an opportunity. What was wrong with senior and junior brothers going together?

It seemed that only two people from the Old Lord Temple had taken action. Although many people in the royal palace had died in bizarre ways, experienced people could see that a portion of those on the periphery had gone mad after being greatly frightened in the dark and killed each other. Those who truly died at the hands of Old Ancestor Ling Xu and Wang Sheng were all concentrated in the inner circle centered on the council hall.

The guards of the Dai Kingdom's capital did not dare to enter the royal palace area casually in the middle of the night, and only entered after dawn the next day. The spies from various countries also used their own special abilities to sneak in.

Seeing the tragic state of the square in front of the council hall, everyone gasped. Limbs were everywhere, and the entire square seemed to have been dyed with blood. The stench of blood was so strong that those who had not experienced it would have nightmares. Countless flies buzzed around, so dense that they could almost block people's vision.

The shattered corpses suggested that they were definitely the result of the explosion. However, there were also many intact corpses, but even more terrifyingly, the fatal wounds displayed on the intact corpses all indicated that these people had been killed with a single blow.

Everyone could recognize who the intact corpses were. Even those with blackened faces were identified after being cleaned. It could be said that half of the famous experts in the Dai Kingdom's capital were concentrated here.

To kill experts of this level with just one blow, how terrifying must the opponent be? Everyone felt that Wang Sheng's cultivation was only at the seventh or eighth level, and it was impossible for him to have such ability. Then, the only possibility was the powerful Old Ancestor Ling Xu.

To kill so many experts without a second strike, what a despairing realm was that? Elsewhere, there were even more corpses. Basically, everyone could find the experts that the Dai Kingdom's capital could count, of course, only corpses. All of them were killed with a single blow, without exception.

Apart from these, various parties did not find any traces of anyone else breaking in. In addition, someone found evidence of Wang Sheng's presence. Several experts had died under the heavy arrows of the heavy sniper crossbow, and even the almost deformed heavy arrows were left in place, without being cleaned up in time. Obviously, this was ironclad evidence.

This further solidified the reputation of Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow being able to pose a threat to experts in the legendary realm. Even if Wang Sheng's cultivation was not high enough to threaten the lives of legendary experts, as long as Wang Sheng carried the heavy sniper crossbow, there was absolutely no problem.

After the personnel from various parties counted, more than four hundred Dai family experts died directly at the hands of Old Ancestor Ling Xu and Wang Sheng. Apart from those killed by the explosion, the lowest cultivation level was the seventh level. The guards with lower cultivation levels were simply ignored. As for women and children, apart from those who were crushed to death by the collapse of houses in the initial explosion, the two did not touch a single one. On the contrary, a considerable number of female guard experts were cleanly and decisively killed, without mercy.

Principled, but not hesitating to kill when necessary, decisive in action, a series of comments could be thrown on Old Ancestor Ling Xu without any qualms.

After the detailed news was sent back to various parties, what everyone felt first was not that the Dai family had suffered a great loss of vitality and that everyone could take the opportunity to pick up bargains, but a strong, unresolvable fear.

It was too damn scary! According to the news sent back, Old Ancestor Ling Xu single-handedly sneaked into the Dai Kingdom's council hall without a single Dai Kingdom expert noticing. After Old Ancestor Ling Xu calmly killed the Dai Kingdom's ruler and the Great Elder, he set up a terrifying explosion, and with Wang Sheng using the heavy sniper crossbow to cover the periphery, the two completely bloodbathed the Dai Kingdom's royal palace!

Only two people! Various parties asked themselves, the level of the guard experts in their own royal palace could never be much higher than that of the Dai Kingdom's royal palace, and the number could never be greater. This also meant that if Old Ancestor Ling Xu and Wang Sheng were willing, they could actually visit any royal palace at any time!

At this time, it would be a miracle if any country's ruler could sleep soundly.

It should be known that only two people from the Daoist sect took action this time! The huge Daoist sect only sent two people from the Old Lord Temple, and everyone was so frightened. If the seven sects of the Daoist sect, no, now only six sects, each sent out all their experts, what kind of terror would that be? No one dared to think about it.

All the vassal states were considering redefining their relationship with the Daoist sect, and even the matter of the Dai family being greatly weakened by this incident, and everyone being able to take the opportunity to divide it up, was put aside.

Anyway, the Dai family was already like this, what else could they do? Could they conjure up a bunch of experts out of thin air? On the contrary, the relationship with the Daoist sect had to be carefully weighed to see how it could be brought closer.
