Dragon's Origin

Chapter 199: Your Guard Is Useless (Part 2)

The old Taoist's disguise was truly excellent. So excellent that even Wang Sheng, if he didn't know the old Taoist's true identity, would be fooled, greatly fooled.

Now, the old Taoist had changed into a set of protective clothing provided by Wang Sheng. In reality, it was made from the eighth-realm demon beast skin that Wang Sheng had obtained from the Feng family. The sixth-realm Night Star Wolf skin protective suit that he had custom-made was now redundant, so he gave it to the old Taoist to wear.

This kind of attire was now almost standard for cultivators in Worry-Free City. The old Taoist changed his face, and the cultivation he displayed was about the same as Wang Sheng's. Well, a little higher than Wang Sheng's, looking like a fourth-realm expert.

For the old Taoist, controlling his cultivation to be displayed at this realm was simply an easy task. He didn't even need to do anything special; the mask showed this realm.

Arriving in Worry-Free City was, relatively speaking, arriving in Wang Sheng's territory. At least on the way home, quite a few people were greeting Wang Sheng.

With the old Taoist in Worry-Free City, Wang Sheng naturally had to treat him well with good food and drinks. The chef used all his skills, putting in twelve times the effort, to make a table full of delicious dishes for the old man. Because Wang Sheng said that he had to treat the old man with an attitude even more serious than when he treated himself.

After only one bite, the old Taoist's movements changed. He went directly from elegantly holding chopsticks and slowly picking up food to grabbing with his hands.

"If I had known that the food here was so delicious, why would I have secluded myself!" The old Taoist grumbled to Wang Sheng with his mouth full of food, "Eating here for a few months would have allowed me to advance long ago."

Wang Sheng was utterly speechless. What else could he say? Eating delicious food was more important than comprehending the Dao. What else could Wang Sheng say?

With one more person in the house, no one seemed curious. Shadow Old Eunuch and Han Bing Li, who used to come over as soon as Wang Sheng returned, didn't come to the door this time, not knowing what they were busy with.

Lu Wenhou came to the door once, but he didn't recognize the old Taoist and didn't ask. Wang Sheng was now a partner, so what did it matter if a partner brought someone? Wang Sheng never asked how many people they from Yu Bao Firm brought, did he?

Preparations were almost complete, and they would depart in three days. This was the main point Lu Wenhou came to express. Of course, in addition to this, Lu Wenhou also told Wang Sheng that various families and forces had placed people in the guard team and the early pioneer force.

"In short, you have to be careful. We can't distinguish who really wants to pioneer and who has other ulterior motives." Lu Wenhou advised before leaving. This may have been heartfelt concern, or it may have been an attitude that had to be expressed because of intertwined interests. In any case, it was a reminder for Wang Sheng to be careful.

Wang Sheng knew his current situation. He had offended the Song family too deeply, and the Song family would definitely kill him at all costs. Even if they didn't use those experts from the Thousand Absolutes Land, they would use the dead soldiers they had arranged who knows how many years ago. This was almost certain. That's why Wang Sheng had invited the old Taoist to accompany him in advance, to prevent accidents.

They were already about to reach the edge of the Thousand Absolutes Land core. If Wang Sheng himself was accidentally killed, wouldn't that be a great injustice? Even if he was ridiculed, Wang Sheng would bring a safety guarantee.

Worry-Free City was not a place to take action. No one could kill Wang Sheng in Worry-Free City with so many experts surrounding him. Therefore, they would definitely look for opportunities inside the Thousand Absolutes Land. However, did they really think they would have a chance once they entered the Thousand Absolutes Land?

Although Wang Sheng had this confidence, he couldn't stand some people being desperate, so the old Taoist's existence was still very necessary. Wang Sheng really wanted to see the expressions of those guys when they thought the old Taoist only had a fourth-realm cultivation, but were easily taken down by the old Taoist when they took action.

Early in the morning three days later, Wang Sheng rushed to the outside of the city gate. A team of two hundred people had already gathered in the open space outside the city gate, waiting to enter the Thousand Absolutes Land.

"Everyone should be clear about the rules, right?" Wang Sheng asked, standing in front of the team. Everyone answered "Clear."

Wang Sheng's iron rule was known to everyone in Worry-Free City who paid attention to the Thousand Absolutes Land. If someone said they didn't know at this time, then they probably didn't want to go in.

"With so many people, I definitely can't take care of everyone!" Wang Sheng warned everyone. He wouldn't let everyone think that everything would be fine if they followed him. There always had to be a sense of pressure to make these people feel a sense of urgency: "So, don't be reckless and touch things you shouldn't touch, or come into contact with things you shouldn't. At that time, I will definitely watch the reckless people die and will never save them, understand?"

It was still a uniform "Understand" answer. Wang Sheng was very satisfied, and then turned to Lu Wenhou's side.

Lu Wenhou would not go in himself. He just organized everything, and naturally someone would run errands and risk their lives. However, at this time, Lu Wenhou did not let Wang Sheng leave immediately, but introduced Wang Sheng to a team of people next to him, about thirty people.

"These are the experts sent by various families and sects to help." Lu Wenhou pointed to the crowd and introduced them, but he did not introduce each one individually, just letting Wang Sheng know that they came from various forces: "They will accompany you this time. If you really encounter danger on the road, there are many experts here, so try to hide here."

The leader was someone Wang Sheng couldn't see through his cultivation. He looked to be in his thirties and wasn't very old. But the expression on his face was very arrogant, as if he was unwilling to look down at Wang Sheng, always looking up.

"Then thank you for your hard work!" Wang Sheng was a very shrewd person. He stepped forward with a smile and thanked them first. Just as he was about to wave his hand and have everyone set off, he was stopped by the burly man leading the group.

"Who is this person beside you?" The burly man asked, pointing very disdainfully at the old Taoist who was almost inseparable from Wang Sheng.

"This is the guard I hired." Wang Sheng smiled, not saying the old Taoist's specific identity, and directly gave the old Taoist the title of guard.

The old Taoist's presence was actually very low. He had been following Wang Sheng for so long, and it seemed that not many people had noticed him. If this burly man hadn't pointed and asked, others probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person beside Wang Sheng.

On the city wall, an old guard from Worry-Free City was looking this way. When the burly man pointed and asked, he happened to see the old Taoist's face. Of course, it was the face the old Taoist was disguised as. After seeing it, the old guard suddenly trembled and almost sat directly on the ground.

"Guard?" The burly man sized up the old Taoist a few times, not hiding his contempt, and shook his head directly at Wang Sheng and the old Taoist: "Your guard is useless!"

The burly man's voice was very loud, and many people heard this sentence. The old guard on the city wall also heard his words. Only this time, the old guard really sat down on the ground.

That master, someone actually dared to say he was useless in front of him?
