Dragon's Origin

Chapter 189: The Return of the Song Family Patriarch (Part 1)

Song Yan remained dazed even after Wang Sheng escorted her out of the camp. Wang Sheng's last words had utterly terrified her.

Yes, terrified. The prototype of the legendary Phoenix Yuan Soul, which no one knew, was actually just a sparrow? Could that be possible?

Her intuition told her that Wang Sheng wasn't lying, but common sense made Song Yan instinctively doubt. It was precisely because of this state that Song Yan knew now wasn't the best time to understand Yuan Soul upgrades, so she decisively bought herself some more time.

Before seeing her father, Song Yan's status in the Song family would not change much. At most, her treatment would be better than before, but she would still just be a tool used to win over Wang Sheng. Changes in Song Yan's status depended on Wang Sheng's attitude.

But now that Song Hongde had made a strong return, Song Yan had once again become the high and mighty young lady. Song Yan no longer needed to rely on Wang Sheng. This was also why Song Yan's mentality had changed somewhat, and the root of her confusion.

But at this moment, Song Yan's heart was no longer confused. She seemed to have figured something out, or rather, made up her mind. Just as she had said to Wang Sheng, once everything was settled, Song Yan would entrust all her trust to Wang Sheng, and perhaps even more.

Wang Sheng also noticed Song Yan's change. He had originally wanted to quickly end everything, but Song Yan's performance gave her another chance. He also revealed a big secret about the Phoenix.

The girl in the dream's Yuan Soul was a Phoenix, but when Wang Sheng first met the girl in his dream on Earth, her Yuan Soul wasn't a Phoenix, but just a third-rate sparrow. He didn't know why, but Wang Sheng and the girl, from two different worlds, were connected in a dream.

Wang Sheng constantly encouraged the girl, constantly teaching her various combat skills, but the girl was always unhappy because her Yuan Soul was third-rate.

So, Wang Sheng used various methods to encourage and motivate the girl. The girl finally revealed the root of her troubles: sparrows couldn't evolve or upgrade.

Wang Sheng directly said in the dream at the time: "Who said that? A sparrow turning into a phoenix, isn't that the dream of all girls in the world?"

"A sparrow can turn into a phoenix? What is a phoenix?" The girl was so excited at the time that she almost cried. Unfortunately, Wang Sheng could only see the girl's beautiful eyes and that moment of surprise and excitement.

Wang Sheng fell completely in love with the girl in his dream at that moment, even though he had never met her and didn't even know her name. But just those eyes made Wang Sheng unable to stop.

To give the girl in his dream confidence, Wang Sheng explained what a phoenix was, how powerful a divine beast it was, and the legendary stories of sparrows flying to the branches to become phoenixes.

After explaining these things, the girl didn't appear in Wang Sheng's dream for a long time. Later, she only appeared once, but didn't speak. Only her expressive eyes revealed a strong sense of attachment. The last time she appeared was when Wang Sheng was parachuting. But that time, the girl in the dream asked Wang Sheng to kill her.

This was the first time Wang Sheng had told an outsider about the origin of the Phoenix. In any case, Wang Sheng believed that he wouldn't be too far from knowing the truth and the fate of the girl in his dream.

The outside was much calmer now. At least after Song Hongde came out, those subordinates were no longer worried about life and death. Everyone was smart and knew that the patriarch must have made some kind of deal with Wang Sheng, so they waited patiently.

Song Hongde himself immediately climbed up a large tree where a poison master he had brought was located, and then had the master begin the examination. Unfortunately, as Wang Sheng had predicted, the poison master didn't have an effective way to detect and detoxify heavy metal poisoning, so he found nothing.

He wanted to ask Song Laoyu about everything about Wang Sheng, but Song Hongde found that he couldn't get down. Without Wang Sheng's control, he would be buried alive by the man-eating ants as soon as he reached the ground. He had no choice but to wait for Song Yan and Wang Sheng to come out.

Wang Sheng and Song Yan came out quickly. After only a short while, Song Hongde keenly noticed that Song Yan seemed to have an indescribable change, completely different from when they had first met. There was also a hint of a smile between her brows, and that kind of excitement wasn't the excitement of a father and daughter reuniting, but more like a radiant joy of being reborn.

"Clan Leader Song, as we agreed, we'll go our separate ways." Wang Sheng watched Song Yan walk to the tree where Song Hongde was, before saying to Song Hongde, "Goodbye!"

The separation was decisive, without any nonsense, he left as soon as he said he would. Under everyone's gaze, Wang Sheng stepped on the gaps between the man-eating ants and slowly walked away. Until Wang Sheng's figure could no longer be seen, the ocean of man-eating ants rustled into action and completely disappeared in a short while, leaving not a single one behind.

However, on the empty ground, there were more than twenty complete skeletons and their weapons. Wang Sheng didn't want these weapons and left them all to Song Hongde and the others.

Song Hongde couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. He jumped down from the tree with a very complicated mood, looked at Song Yan, whose eyes were still looking in the direction where Wang Sheng had disappeared, and couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't say a word.

Including the subordinate who was knocked down on the spot at the beginning, and the ten subordinates guarding the camp, Song Hongde and Wang Sheng's confrontation buried eleven experts. Experts at the seventh and eighth level! Ten of them! Which family could withstand such a loss?

But Song Hongde felt so sorry that he couldn't say a word. In the end, the root cause was still in him. Was he going to settle the score with Wang Sheng at this time? It was definitely impossible in the Thousand Absolute Ground. Perhaps there would be a chance after leaving the Thousand Absolute Ground. However, after leaving the Thousand Absolute Ground, would other families allow Song Hongde to kill Wang Sheng?

"Return to the camp, pack up, we're going back to the Song family!" Song Hongde decisively issued this order. He had originally planned to return in the near future, and now was a good opportunity to go back.

"Xiao Yan, Laoyu, you two come with me." After instructing his subordinates, Song Hongde took Song Yan and Song Laoyu to his luxurious cave.

Just as he was about to habitually drink a cup of his favorite fragrant tea, he suddenly remembered Wang Sheng's words. He felt a burst of annoyance in his heart and pushed the teacup and tea leaves aside. Song Hongde then said to the two of them, "Tell me, how have you been these years, what is the situation outside now, and what exactly is going on with that Wang Sheng?"

As the head of the family, even if he returned, he had to know what was going on outside. Song Yan and Song Laoyu could tell him everything he wanted to know without lying to him. As for Wang Sheng, this mysterious guy, he also had to understand him in detail in order to decide his countermeasures after returning.
