Dragon's Origin

"You need the kind of power that Heaven and Earth Tempering provides when a ninth-level master advances to the Legendary realm?" The eight family heads present were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

If there were a few Legendary masters here, things might be much easier. However, the problem is that when they entered through the underground passage, that formation's Legendary master couldn't enter at all; the highest level allowed was a ninth-level master.

However, there was one major issue: although the ninth-level masters present were all at the ninth level, the truth was that, apart from a select few, most of them had only recently advanced.

Previously, Wang Sheng had Old Daoist Ling Xu create a big commotion, attracting all the family forces to take their most powerful masters to the capital to advance to the Legendary realm with the help of the Grand Master's concert.

It could be said that basically all the original strongest ninth-level masters had successfully entered the Legendary realm. The remaining ones were either relatively ordinary masters who couldn't be boosted even by the Grand Master's concert, or a batch of new recruits who had advanced from the eighth to the ninth level.

Ninth-level masters who had just advanced not long ago obviously had little chance of reaching the Legendary realm in this short month. At this time, where could they find a master who was about to advance to the Legendary realm to trigger Heaven and Earth Tempering and then break open this sealed formation?

Let everyone come up? Not to mention whether there would be enough room to stand or whether they could sustain the attack for a few days, even if there were a thousand ninth-level masters, could they compare to the power of Heaven and Earth?

Unable to come up with any solutions, everyone could only turn their pleading gazes to Song Yan. Song Yan was the leader; this was a pre-established agreement, and others could only listen to her decisions.

Song Yan herself had only advanced a few months ago and hadn't reached the point of breaking through immediately. When everyone looked at her, she could only turn her pleading gaze to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng had been able to face and kill a peak ninth-level master from the Xia family several months ago, so Wang Sheng's cultivation realm would definitely not be low. If anyone present had a chance to break through now, it would definitely be Wang Sheng, and no one else.

"Here?" Wang Sheng knew what Song Yan was thinking from her gaze, and after looking at the dozen or so people around, Wang Sheng directly shook his head: "Are you joking?"

Among the eight great families, apart from Song Yan, who didn't want to kill Wang Sheng? Previously, they had needed Wang Sheng's help, so they could tolerate him, but if Wang Sheng triggered Heaven and Earth Tempering during his advancement, Wang Sheng would have no power to resist in that situation, and it would be easy for the other party to kill Wang Sheng.

How brain-dead would one have to be to advance under the watchful eyes of a dozen ninth-level enemies? Entrusting one's life to others has never been Wang Sheng's style; he would never do that unless absolutely necessary.

Song Yan took a few steps forward, walked to Wang Sheng's side, and winked at the Song family's formation master. The master understood and immediately took out a sound-isolating formation stone and activated it, isolating Wang Sheng, Song Yan, and the others.

Everyone knew that Song Yan definitely wanted to persuade Wang Sheng but didn't want everyone to hear, and no one cared. Two people seemed to be casually looking over there, but their gazes were only fixed on Wang Sheng and Song Yan's mouths, as if they could interpret the content of their speech through the movements of their lips.

However, Song Yan and Wang Sheng both smiled slightly and turned their bodies, facing away from everyone. Now, the two masters proficient in lip-reading were helpless unless they disregarded everything and ran to the front of the two to observe.

"Okay, those two guys can't see us now," Song Yan said with a smile, then asked curiously: "How did you know they were proficient in lip-reading?"

"There are so many talented people in this world, and the abilities of Yuan Souls are almost limitless. It's not surprising that there are one or two with unique skills, right?" Wang Sheng casually explained, not saying much more. Could Wang Sheng say that he had personally dealt with more than ten such professionals in the military on Earth?

"Don't you want to open this sealed formation?" Song Yan didn't pursue the question, she could guess what Wang Sheng could guess, so now Song Yan used the topic that Wang Sheng was most interested in to remind Wang Sheng.

"Yes!" Wang Sheng replied very affirmatively: "But that can't be a reason for me to advance in front of so many people. To be frank, I don't trust them."

"What about me?" Song Yan asked Wang Sheng: "Do you trust me?"

"I trust you!" Wang Sheng nodded, but immediately added: "But you can't really control the masters of other families."

Song Yan knew very well that what Wang Sheng said was true, but she was not discouraged. After a moment of silence, she said to Wang Sheng frankly: "You don't really know how eager our families are to kill her."

"Didn't you used to know nothing?" Wang Sheng asked with some doubt. Song Yan was vague at that time, only knowing that the Phoenix Yuan Soul was a taboo, how did she know so clearly now?

"The ancestors left behind a batch of recorded books, which were only unsealed a few months ago," Song Yan quickly explained: "The same is true for their families. Only the eight of us have left such things. The books record that they joined forces at that time but did not kill that person, but only sealed her, and told us that we must kill her after five hundred years!"

"Why?" Wang Sheng still asked puzzled: "Your ancestors could seal her, why not kill her? Also, why kill her after five hundred years?"

When Wang Sheng used to play games or watch some foreign movies, he was very puzzled. If they could seal the Great Demon King, it meant that they had the ability to capture the Great Demon King alive. Why not kill him, but wait for the seal to break and the Great Demon King to wreak havoc? Could it be that this is also a bloody plot?

"Do you think they didn't want to?" Song Yan smiled bitterly. Only from the newly unsealed books did she discover that the ancestors of each family wanted to kill that woman so badly, but they were always helpless against her. But she couldn't tell Wang Sheng the details, so she could only explain simply: "They couldn't do it! Even this sealed formation was not set up by our ancestors, but they just happened to force her into it."

"No wonder you can't even touch the edge of the formation, you have to rely on me," Wang Sheng said with contempt, and he understood some things in his heart.

"So, you should know that we won't do anything to you halfway before we completely kill her," Song Yan continued to persuade: "Although we can slowly think of a way after the water in the lake above is drained, who knows what will happen during this period? It's safer to settle it first."
