Dragon's Origin

The old butler left with lingering doubts. He had studied Zhu Xingsheng's intelligence, and according to the information he currently possessed, Wang Sheng's desire to kill Zhu Xingsheng would not be an easy task.

For a long time, Zhu Xingsheng had been living in Ningyue City, a city unexpectedly seized from the Xia Kingdom, which turned out to be surprisingly advantageous.

Firstly, Ningyue City was originally constructed as a secondary capital, prioritizing everything. In particular, it had stockpiled a large amount of supplies, intended to serve as the capital and provide sufficient war resources in case the Xia Kingdom's capital was ever captured.

Simply seizing Ningyue City saved the Shanyue Kingdom at least five years of development time. The abundance of resources was unimaginable. (Exchange Code: JY68F6)

Additionally, Ningyue City was renowned for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, occupying the highest terrain in the surrounding area, providing a commanding position. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to capture without five times the number of defending experts. The Shanyue Kingdom only managed to capture it with great difficulty by taking advantage of flying demon beasts for a surprise attack from an even higher position.

After the capture, Zhu Xingsheng carried out a series of even more powerful transformations to Ningyue City. The current Ningyue City can only be described as impregnable.

If Lingxu Old Daoist participated, perhaps there might be a sliver of a chance to kill Zhu Xingsheng. However, it would have to be a one-hit kill while Zhu Xingsheng was completely unaware. Otherwise, once Zhu Xingsheng was alerted, he could ride his flying mount and escape immediately.

Even the most powerful people on the ground couldn't catch up. Of course, Wang Sheng had the heavy sniper crossbow that could kill people from miles away, which might be effective. But unless he knew exactly which flying mount Zhu Xingsheng was on, with a dozen flying mounts taking off together, who would know Zhu Xingsheng's location?

Furthermore, a ground-based sniper attack was also impossible. It's not that there weren't suitable sniping opportunities; on the contrary, there were many.

Recently, because Zhu Xingsheng had been wielding power single-handedly, he would perform a sacrifice to the heavens on the highest platform in Ningyue City every ten days. This occurred every ten days without fail, to piously prove that he was a divine envoy.

However, even from miles away, it was impossible to snipe Zhu Xingsheng. Because the sacrificial platform was a full thirty yards long and thirty yards wide, and was itself the highest point within a hundred miles of Ningyue City. If Zhu Xingsheng stood in the center of the altar, there was no position or angle within a hundred miles, except for standing on the altar itself, that could see Zhu Xingsheng's figure.

If you can't even see the person, what's the use of having the means to kill from a hundred miles away? In the end, the heavy sniper crossbow is still a crossbow, not a flying sword that can take a person's head from a thousand miles away.

Although he wasn't optimistic about Wang Sheng, the old butler didn't say anything. Wang Sheng was someone who could repeatedly create unimaginable miracles, which made him afraid to make a decisive judgment. Maybe Wang Sheng would succeed?

In the end, the old butler reported Wang Sheng's intentions to the city lord, allowing the city lord to make the decision.

Wang Sheng didn't stay in Worry-Free City for long. After spending a whole day studying the information the old butler sent, Wang Sheng basically established a plan in his mind, and then said goodbye to A Qi.

Because it didn't go through the assassin's hall, no one except the city lord and the old butler knew what Wang Sheng's target was. Wang Sheng came quietly from the direction of the Thousand Absolute Land, and then left quietly, leaving countless people with ulterior motives helpless to inquire.

Zhu Xingsheng in Ningyue City had been expanding uncontrollably recently. His identity as a divine envoy allowed him to command a large following in the barbarian tribes. Although he didn't have the title of king, he essentially had the power of a king. After taking several cities from the Xia family, Zhu Xingsheng even had the illusion that the Xia family would soon cease to exist.

Unfortunately, the Dai family decisively drew a line, and then the sudden emergence of experts from the Xia family caused Zhu Xingsheng's plan to fail. It was like a head-on blow, causing the fanatical Zhu Xingsheng to calm down.

The Dai family's move could be said to have completely placed the Shanyue Kingdom on the opposite side of the eight great feudal lords. Zhu Xingsheng also understood that even with the advantage of flying demon beasts, he probably couldn't resist the combined attack of the eight families. Not to mention just the Shanyue land that had been managed for a hundred years, even the emperor obediently shrank in the capital to be his local emperor. It was simply courting death to fight against the eight great feudal lords.

Now it was too late to stop. Zhu Xingsheng was waiting, waiting for the arrival of a thunderous blow. He had already arranged a way out for his son and his most trusted subordinates. Once something happened to him, Zhu Shaodong and those trusted subordinates would decisively leave, taking a large amount of wealth to a remote place to live as wealthy people, and from then on, live in anonymity.

Without any worries, Zhu Xingsheng was also aroused by the pressure brought by all parties. Did they really think the Shanyue Kingdom was easy to bully? Although the final result was hard to say, Zhu Xingsheng was confident that the Shanyue Kingdom wouldn't end well, and the great feudal lords would have to bleed heavily.

Just like the Dai family and the Xia family, even if they didn't have to worry about the destruction of their country, their hidden forces were forced to be completely exposed.

All parties were watching, waiting for someone to be the early bird and launch the first attack, but everyone knew that the Shanyue Kingdom was not easy to provoke. Once bitten madly, they would probably suffer heavy losses. No one was willing to be this pioneer, and the situation miraculously stabilized.

Zhu Xingsheng habitually got up, cultivated, and under great pressure, he, a businessman over sixty years old, was forced to start paying attention to cultivation. Fortunately, all the people around him were barbarians, and they regarded Zhu Xingsheng as an omnipotent divine envoy, serving him very thoughtfully, and there was no need to worry about their betrayal.

Today was another day for offering sacrifices to the heavens. Zhu Xingsheng, dressed in the clothes of a divine envoy under the service of several barbarian maids, watched as the sun rose to the appropriate position, walked through the passage formed by a group of kneeling barbarians, and stepped onto the highest altar.

In the center of the altar was a huge offering table, on which were placed several processed human heads, as well as several demon beast heads. These were the offerings. Barbarian sacrifices to the heavens were never so peaceful. It's just that the human heads were not the heads of their own people.

Several flying demon beasts began to patrol the surrounding area to ensure that the divine envoy was not disturbed when offering sacrifices to the heavens.

At an altitude of 30,000 meters, in a place that no one could see, Wang Sheng was riding on the back of Great Snow, constantly emitting the Six Word Mantra and communicating silently with Great Snow.

Great Snow quietly descended, silently descending below the clouds, gliding close to the clouds. Wang Sheng took out the scope and began to observe.

Zhu Xingsheng's sacrifice to the heavens should be at this time. When Wang Sheng saw Zhu Xingsheng's figure appear on the altar in the scope, Wang Sheng knew that the time to act had come.
