Dragon's Origin

Chapter 127: Digging a Pit and Waiting for Them to Come (Part 1)

Dai Wuji is one of the core elders of the Dai family, holding a high position and great power. In particular, his own cultivation is extremely high. Two years ago, others saw him as only at the sixth level of the realm, but as early as half a year ago, he had secretly entered the seventh level.

Apart from a few core figures of the Dai family, no one knows this. What outsiders see is just an unruly elder who repeatedly opposes the patriarch, arrogant and domineering, and conceited.

Not to mention outsiders, even within the Dai family, many people think so. Dai Wuji is known for his volatile temper, easily angered and impulsive. A little provocation can set him off, making him easily manipulated by others, and many are happy to see it happen.

The last assassination attempt on Wang Sheng in the street was due to Dai Wuji being provoked by someone with ulterior motives, recklessly sending out assassins.

Because of this unauthorized decision, which caused the family a great loss, the patriarch was furious in the family's high-level meeting and confined Dai Wuji, forbidding him from going out. He was punished to guard the Dai family's ancestral grave for half a year to temper his temper.

As for letting the Dai family's patriarch and Dai Wuji's faction fight each other to the death? The Dai family is not that stupid. Dai Wuji's temper is volatile, but he is not a fool.

In fact, none of those who thought Dai Wuji was easy to deceive and provoke had a good ending, because they would always be found out afterward. Dai Wuji himself would only receive a minor punishment, but the one who provoked him often died in various accidents, or fell into despair and quickly disappeared.

The real truth is, if Dai Wuji was a fool, could he easily have ascended to the position of elder? And held it for so many years without many mistakes? From beginning to end, Dai Wuji has always pretended to be at odds with the patriarch, but in reality, he has always stood with the patriarch.

The patriarch is happy to see Dai Wuji gather a group of family members who oppose him, and he is clear about their actions. The patriarch ignores minor troubles, treating it as Dai Wuji building his reputation. When something truly threatens his position, those people are dealt with cleanly before they can even act. Each time, Dai Wuji is given some minor punishment, and people are used to it.

This time is the same. However, sending assassins to assassinate Wang Sheng in the street was not Dai Wuji's intention, nor the patriarch's intention, but the intention of the patriarch's son, Dai Huan's younger brother, Dai Xiao, who possessed the upgradable nine-star yuan soul.

The assassination failed, and Dai Wuji naturally became the unruly Dai Wuji again, punished by the patriarch once more. All of this seems perfectly normal, and no one would suspect any conspiracy.

But the conspiracy happens to be within it. Dai Wuji was not initially guarding the ancestral grave, but secretly led a group of hidden masters from the Dai family, concealing their identities, to hunt down Wang Lao and Feng Shao, who had given Wang Sheng the Creation Pill, and then followed them to find the location of that hidden sect, destroying it in one fell swoop.

Several other forces participated in the process, but everyone concealed their identities, and no one recognized Dai Wuji. After successfully annihilating the hidden sect, Dai Wuji returned to the Dai family's ancestral grave without anyone noticing, as if accepting the patriarch's punishment, offering incense and kowtowing to the ancestors every day. The rest of the time was spent cultivating or finding some simple entertainment in that confined place.

When the news that Wang Sheng was asking about a bounty for Dai Wuji in the killer hall reached the Dai family and Dai Wuji's ears, Dai Wuji was so happy that he almost jumped up.

There is no entertainment here at the Dai family's ancestral grave. Being in the presence of the ancestral spirits, it is not appropriate to bring a few flamboyant women to seek pleasure. Dai Wuji was already so bored that he wanted to jump into the river. Suddenly hearing that a kid who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth wanted to kill him, isn't this just fun delivered to his door?

No one is more eager for Wang Sheng to come to his door than Dai Wuji. Dai Wuji even started counting the days, asking the spies in Worry-Free City to send him Wang Sheng's whereabouts every day so that he could have some fun.

Wang Sheng is so smug after eating two Creation Pills. You should know that Dai Wuji completely wiped out that entire sect, not only obtaining the Creation Pills but also getting the pill formula.

After returning to the ancestral grave, Dai Wuji ate one Creation Pill. Unfortunately, the Creation Pill is magical, but for a seventh-level master like him, the effect is far less than when Wang Sheng, a first-level cultivator, took it.

So, Dai Wuji began to wait for Wang Sheng in boredom. Who knew that he would wait for a whole month before Wang Sheng got used to the discomfort brought about by the improvement of his cultivation and went out into the Thousand Layered Earth.

Then Dai Wuji boredly counted the days, calculating the day of Wang Sheng's arrival, and at the same time began to anticipate what methods Wang Sheng would use to assassinate him? How should he respond to play for a few more days?

In order to reduce some difficulty for Wang Sheng, Dai Wuji specially sent the master guards around him back to the old nest to garrison, and only brought a group of third-level guards with him, waiting quietly for Wang Sheng to come to his door.

Originally, Dai Wuji planned not to even have the third-level guards, but later he changed his mind. Even someone like Dai Si was surrounded by a large group of guards. If he, a dignified elder, didn't even have a few decent guards around him, wouldn't it be obvious that it was fake and there was something fishy? What if Wang Sheng was scared away?

Even so, Dai Wuji still ordered the guards to pretend to make a gesture and not be too vigilant, lest Wang Sheng be scared away and he wouldn't have fun. To this end, he even issued a death order to these guards, even if they accidentally saw Wang Sheng's tracks while patrolling around, they should pretend not to see them.

The guards certainly wouldn't spoil the elder's fun, and naturally agreed readily. In fact, they themselves were also very much looking forward to playing with Wang Sheng.

A barbarian who managed to escape into Worry-Free City actually dared to brazenly say that he wanted to assassinate their elder. It is said that he is just a kid who is at most at the peak of the second level. Wouldn't it be too boring if they didn't have some fun? Elder Dai Wuji is bored, aren't they guards bored too?

Unfortunately, Wang Sheng spent a full five days in the Thousand Layered Earth capturing that little spider, from discovering the spider to waiting for the right opportunity, not daring to make any mistakes.

The five-day calculation deviation made Dai Wuji extremely annoyed. He waited and waited for Wang Sheng to not come, and was so anxious that he couldn't sit still every day, wishing he could now rush to Worry-Free City with his masters, just like he had attacked that hidden sect. Fortunately, he still had reason and knew that Worry-Free City was not that simple, so he forcibly endured it.

Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard! Just when Dai Wuji was getting impatient, he suddenly noticed someone secretly peeping and observing him. How keen is the intuition of a seventh-level master? Dai Wuji instantly felt as happy as drinking a large glass of ice drink on a hot summer day. He finally came.
