Dragon's Origin

Lingxu Old Daoist left, and no one stopped him. He left as soon as he finished speaking, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“A smart man!” The young man said, seemingly in admiration, “Smart people usually live long lives.”

“Um, do I still have a chance to leave?” Wang Sheng remained seated, asking the young man.

“Sorry, you don’t have a chance.” Feeling confident of his victory, the young man wasn’t in a hurry to act. Instead, he was enjoying the process of watching Wang Sheng, a trapped beast, struggle in his net.

“How about this, I’ll sit still and let that old man and the child leave?” Wang Sheng asked tentatively.

The young man casually gestured, indicating that he didn't care.

Master Lu wore a strange expression, grabbed his closed-door disciple, and ran out of sight in a flash, as if a hungry wolf was chasing after them.

Only Wang Sheng was left at the table. The young man and the old array master walked forward a few steps, stopping opposite Wang Sheng. The young man graciously pulled out a chair for the old array master, and only after the old array master was seated did he sit down on another empty chair.

“A wise man submits to circumstances.” Seeing that Wang Sheng hadn’t made any unusual movements from beginning to end, the young man was very satisfied. He smiled and praised, “It seems you have a clear understanding of your current situation.”

Wang Sheng didn’t speak, only looked at the two people opposite him.

“Don’t think about escaping this time.” The young man looked at Wang Sheng, shaking his head slightly and smiling as he said, “Not counting us, there are sixteen experts around, each one with a much higher cultivation level than you. Besides, the entire village is covered by a binding array. Forget about a second-realm kid like you, even a fourth or fifth-realm expert wouldn’t be able to get out.”

“You’re making such a big show, aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Wang Sheng finally asked.

“Who would know?” The young man chuckled, spreading his hands and looking around, “Everyone around here is my man, who could find out? Those villagers?”

Looking at Wang Sheng’s serious face, the young man couldn’t help but laugh, “You don’t really think I’d let these people who’ve seen my face live, do you? You’re from Worry-Free City, you can’t be that naive, right?”

Wang Sheng directly covered his face with one hand. He’d seen people courting death, but never someone courting death like this. To openly say that he was going to kill the entire village, would Master Lu agree? Or would Lingxu Old Daoist be happy?

“What’s wrong, feeling guilty that they’re dying because of you?” The young man sneered, “Then you shouldn’t have run away when you left the Heavenly Craft Workshop. If you hadn’t run away back then, there wouldn’t have been so many things happening later, and they wouldn’t have died.”

“I think you’ve misunderstood.” Wang Sheng lowered his hand, asking very seriously, “If, I mean if, I had the strength of the sixth realm, could you still trap me today?”

“Sixth realm?” The young man was startled by Wang Sheng’s serious gaze, carefully considering it before shaking his head and sneering, “I almost fell for your bluff.”

“The sixth realm wouldn’t be useful either.” The old array master, who hadn’t spoken before, finally opened his mouth, “My binding array can still trap sixth-realm experts. Unless you can reach the seventh realm, perhaps you could break the array under our attacks.”

“Oh.” Wang Sheng said “oh” and said something that made both of them feel inexplicable, “That puts my mind at ease.”

Not only the young man and the old array master sitting opposite him, but also the black-clothed people around who hadn’t moved were all baffled. Everyone had the same thought in their minds, could this guy be a madman?

A kid who was clearly at most at the peak of the second realm, at this time, instead of asking what the other party wanted, or asking if the other party would let him go, he actually asked a question about if he was in the sixth realm. Wasn’t this crazy?

“Don’t misunderstand, don’t misunderstand.” Seeing that the young man and the old array master were looking at him strangely, Wang Sheng waved his hand, “Purely curious! Purely curious!”

“If you have anything else you want to ask, feel free to ask.” The young man looked at Wang Sheng a few times, coldly opening his mouth, “Once we open our mouths, you might not have a chance.”

“Okay!” Wang Sheng became serious, asking the other party without hesitation, “Do you know what’s inside the Thousand Absolutes Land?”

The young man was stunned. Why was it this question? But thinking that Wang Sheng could enter and exit the Thousand Absolutes Land, he became interested. Could it be that Wang Sheng wanted to reveal something? In that case, it would be much better than forcing a confession. The young man carefully considered his answer, “A little bit, just the periphery, I don’t know about the inside.”

“Then do you know how the Thousand Absolutes Land was formed?” Wang Sheng asked again.

The young man directly shook his head. He was still hoping that Wang Sheng would give him the answers, how could he have the answers?

Wang Sheng’s gaze turned to the old array master. The old array master hesitated for a moment, then sighed and replied, “I don’t know. But I can sense the aura of several special arrays.”

Several special arrays, this was consistent with Lingxu Old Daoist’s statement. It was probably sensed within a small range, and the overall number should be the hundreds of arrays that Lingxu Old Daoist mentioned.

“Besides you, who else can track this necklace?” Wang Sheng changed the topic, turning to the necklace.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“This necklace is my masterpiece.” The old array master spoke again, explaining Wang Sheng’s confusion about being tracked, “The array for creating a virtual face is already at its peak, and I haven’t had a better work in more than a decade. This necklace uses a rare material that can be tracked by one of my pets. If I can’t find you this time, there won’t be another chance, that pet is already getting old.”

So that’s how it is. Not only Wang Sheng, but even the young man had a sudden realization. It seemed that the problem wasn’t with the grandmaster who modified the array, but with the material.

“Actually, what I wanted to say is.” Wang Sheng looked at the two experts opposite him who thought they had the situation under control and were sure of victory, sighing, “You’ve come at the wrong time and to the wrong place.”

Both of them looked at Wang Sheng with puzzled expressions, waiting for Wang Sheng’s explanation. Why was it the wrong time, and why was it the wrong place? Could there be something wrong with this?

“Actually, you’ve made a biggest mistake.” Wang Sheng didn’t care about their confusion, speaking to himself, “What you shouldn’t have done is try to attack the villagers. They didn’t provoke you, you shouldn’t have had the thought of eliminating them.”

“So what?” The young man sneered, “You don’t think that just because there’s an old man from the Heavenly Craft Workshop in the village, you’ll have a chance? We already investigated before we came. That old man named Lu is at most a third-realm cultivator. If you’re hoping to rely on him to turn the tables, you’re overthinking it.”

“Okay!” Wang Sheng replied helplessly, “I hope I’m overthinking it!”
