Dragon's Origin

In just a few short days, the Taoist temples in various regions saw at least a 30% increase in incense offerings. This was all thanks to the female relatives of important figures from various major families visiting to burn incense and pray to Lord Lao.

At the same time, the elders of the various vassal states stationed in the capital flocked to the Laojun Temple to show their goodwill. Unfortunately, Laojun Temple was currently closed to guests and did not receive anyone.

This caused some panic among the various parties. What to do now that Laojun Temple was closed? Then, everyone immediately thought of the Changsheng Duke's residence.

As long as they maintained a good relationship with the Changsheng Duke's residence, they could indirectly convey their goodwill to Laojun Temple. Thus, the elders from all sides flocked to the Changsheng Duke's residence. Knowing that Wang Sheng was definitely not there, having gone out to kill and not yet returned, they all sought to meet Madam Mei, under the guise of discussing cooperation and purchasing a batch of products from Qianshengyuan, Runzifang, Mengzhifang, and Yayun.

In short, they were there to deliver money. However, Mei'er had been instructed by Wang Sheng that cooperation was possible, but this time, Mei'er did not use her signature skills, nor did she ruthlessly fleece the various parties on prices.

On the contrary, Mei'er not only agreed to do business with all parties and accepted their orders, but even unprecedentedly gave them a 10% discount off the retail price.

In other words, as long as they took these goods back, they could earn 10% profit by selling them at the original retail price. Were people worried about selling Qianshengyuan products in other places? Or Runzifang's? In other places, countless people were eager to buy these goods even at inflated prices. As long as they took these goods back, if the families were ruthless enough, they could directly earn more than 30%.

The average order from each vassal state was 100 million gold coins, especially from Gan, who seemed to be seeking atonement and directly placed an order for 200 million. Mei'er accepted all orders without refusal. It was estimated that the goods in these stores would be reduced by half for a long time. Just completing the orders for the various families would be enough to keep those Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters busy for more than a year.

The business was done, and they were sure to make a profit, even a big one, but the various parties felt even more uncertain. They wanted to give gifts but ended up making a fortune. Could it be that they were not going to be given any favors?

Fortunately, Mei'er finally said something, telling everyone not to worry, as there would be a public Dharma assembly at the Laojun Temple in the capital in half a month, and representatives from all parties were sincerely invited to attend.

Having received this reply, the representatives of the various parties finally put their uneasy hearts back in their chests. However, after only half a day of peace, everyone's hearts were on edge again.

Laojun Temple was going to hold a Dharma assembly and invite representatives from all parties to attend. What did this mean? With the heads of the Dai Kingdom's ruler and Grand Elder having been taken, this Dharma assembly was clearly meant to demonstrate the power of Laojun Temple and the entire Taoist sect to all parties. But what next? Would the Taoist sect take this opportunity to step onto the stage of power and influence, becoming a force to be reckoned with in the world?

If the Taoist sect were to enter the world stage, what changes would it bring? And how should the various parties respond? In recent days, the high-level officials of the various parties had been gathering together to hold meetings and discuss, each with a frown and sighing.

In any case, since Laojun Temple had extended such an invitation through Mei'er, all parties had to give them enough face. If it were before, perhaps giving a little face would suffice, but with the Dai Kingdom's palace having just been turned into ruins and the heads of the Dai Kingdom's ruler and Grand Elder having just been taken, which vassal state would dare to be so disrespectful?

It was said that at least a Grand Elder-level figure had to attend to avoid being disrespectful, and they had to bring heavy gifts. In addition, even if Laojun Temple had any conditions on the spot, I am afraid that only people of this level could make decisions.

Among the various forces, the royal family was probably the least worried and the happiest. The royal family had actually known Laojun Temple's attitude for a long time: they did not want to interfere in the affairs of the secular world.

If the Taoist sect was willing to intervene in secular affairs, the Grand Master would have agreed to the Second Prince's request to become the national teacher during the Second Prince's rebellion. As a result, the Grand Master of Laojun Temple scorned such a respected title and directly rejected the Second Prince, and later rejected the Emperor's goodwill, not caring about these mundane matters at all.

Since the Taoist sect did not interfere in the mundane affairs of the world, then there was no threat to the Emperor and the royal family. On the contrary, the stronger the Laojun Temple, the less the various parties dared to do anything to the capital, the safer the royal family, and the more stable the Emperor's position. Of course, the few centers that Wang Sheng mentioned in the past became even more likely.

As for the combat power of the Venerable Lingxu that shocked everyone, the royal family was the least surprised. The three great offerings had already successfully broken through the peak of the Legend realm and entered the tenth level. They had broken through under the reminder of the Venerable Lingxu. To put it bluntly, the three great offerings had to bow down to the Venerable Lingxu. What was it to destroy the Dai family's palace with a Venerable Lingxu who was even more terrifying than the three great offerings? Why didn't the Dai family deploy all the masters in the palace? This way, they could be wiped out by the Venerable Lingxu in one fell swoop.

It was fortunate that the Shanyue Kingdom's attack on the Taoist sect leader did not injure anyone, otherwise, what kind of crazy revenge would Laojun Temple take? Now it was the Dai family, the mastermind behind the Shanyue Kingdom, and next it would probably be the Shanyue Kingdom. Today's royal family likes the world to be in chaos the most. The more chaotic everyone fights, the more opportunities the royal family has.

While all parties were making arrangements in full swing, Wang Sheng and the Old Taoist Lingxu finally came out of the Thousand Absolute Land.

When the figures of the two appeared at the gate of the capital, everyone who saw them was stunned. It was not until Wang Sheng and the Old Taoist Lingxu walked out of their sight that they all gasped.

What Wang Sheng and the old Taoist were wearing now were the two protective suits that were stained with blood after the massacre in the Dai family's palace that day. After more than half a month, the original bright red blood stains had turned into dark red marks, but the traces on them told experienced people what a bloody slaughter they had experienced that day.

The two did this on purpose, in order to increase the pressure on all parties with this massacre. This was Wang Sheng's suggestion, and the old Taoist did not object.

The two, full of murderous aura, immediately changed their aura after entering the Changsheng Duke's residence, as relaxed and comfortable as wanderers returning home.

Mei'er and Rose had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Wang Sheng, Mei'er ignored the blood on Wang Sheng's body and threw herself into Wang Sheng's arms, until Wang Sheng picked her up and walked to the back practice room. In Mei'er's mind, what if Wang Sheng and the old Taoist killed a city full of people? They were her lover and relatives. Rose smiled and saluted the old Taoist before taking the old Taoist to wash up.

"Go take a bath!" After Wang Sheng put her down, Mei'er seemed to notice the smell on Wang Sheng's body. She couldn't help but pinch her nose: "Don't touch me until you wash yourself clean!"
