Dragon's Origin

"Are you sure you want to be my guard?" Wang Sheng was already showing impatience under the city wall, asking the strong man, "Do you think he's getting in the way and want me to replace him?"

"It's us." The strong man smiled, finally showing a bit of a smile: "It's us, these people. As for those stray soldiers from who knows where, we don't feel safe having them around. It's okay for them to come in, but let them do something else."

"Are you sure?" Wang Sheng became serious, very serious, and asked, "If you guys encounter any unexpected mishaps in the Thousand Absolutes Land, who will protect me then?"

Upon hearing this, the strong man couldn't help but change his expression. If Wang Sheng really wanted them to encounter some mishap in the Thousand Absolutes Land, it probably wouldn't be a joke.

"As long as Lone Wolf, you put your heart into it, how could we possibly encounter any mishaps?" The strong man chuckled twice, saying with a slightly threatening tone, "You wouldn't want to offend everyone here all at once, would you?"

"I just need to put my heart into it?" Wang Sheng was amused: "Am I your guard, or are you my guards?"

After saying that, Wang Sheng was too lazy to look at the strong man's expression. He directly asked Lu Wenhou over there, "When you were looking for people this time, did you warn them that entering the Thousand Absolutes Land doesn't guarantee their safety?"

"Yes!" Lu Wenhou was actually very unhappy, but he was just a young master from a commercial family. It was quite effective to restrain some loose cultivators or assassins from Worry-Free City, but he was a bit helpless when it came to the major forces. Hearing Wang Sheng's question, Lu Wenhou quickly gave a definite answer.

"That's good!" Wang Sheng nodded and turned back to the strong man's side: "Since you also know that entering the Thousand Absolutes Land can't guarantee life or death, then don't do anything stupid with your hands or mouths, so as not to encounter any mishaps. Remember, the first iron rule of the Thousand Absolutes Land is: don't do anything I don't allow."

This was already a very serious warning. Everyone could hear the implication in Wang Sheng's words. If they did anything stupid again, they might encounter some mishap. They had to remember that the first iron rule of the Thousand Absolutes Land was not to do anything he didn't allow.

If it were the royal family, or the Triumph Palace, or the Song family, or those families who had followed Wang Sheng into the Thousand Absolutes Land, they would definitely treat Wang Sheng's iron rule as a golden rule and never violate it. Because the correctness of this iron rule had been proven with the lives of many people several times before.

But the strong man was clearly not from the forces that had cooperated before. Especially as a dignified eighth-level master, he was the strongest and most cultivated among the people sent by the major forces this time, and was therefore publicly elected as the captain. He was also a proud young talent in the sect, with the attitude of 'I'm second only to the heavens.' How could he possibly take a junior who had only heard stories and whose actual cultivation was only at the third level seriously?

Wang Sheng's words were a warning, but the strong man felt it was a provocation. He was instantly enraged and roared at Wang Sheng, "Don't be ungrateful, kid!"

"What's this?" Wang Sheng turned around, looked at the strong man glaring at him, and then looked at the others behind the strong man. He crossed his arms and asked impatiently, "Do you all mean the same thing?"

When Wang Sheng's gaze swept over everyone, a group of people behind the strong man quickly waved their hands and walked to the side: "No, no, we don't mean that. We're not familiar with him."

It wasn't that there were no sensible people among the major forces. Before, when this strong man stood out, everyone was thinking about whether they could take advantage of the strong man's name to win some benefits. But once they annoyed Wang Sheng, they wouldn't get any benefits at all. No one was a fool, so how could they still stand with this strong man now?

Watching Wang Sheng just glance over and ask a question, and then a group of people behind the strong man were reduced to only two in the blink of an eye. These two also belonged to the kind of people who had high cultivation but low emotional intelligence and not enough brains. They stubbornly believed that as long as their cultivation was high, they could do whatever they wanted, and that the law of the jungle prevailed. Now they were still standing with the strong man, unaware of their impending doom.

The strong man didn't expect that his attempt to stand out would be met with the betrayal of his companions. He was instantly so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Damn it, wasn't this what everyone had agreed on before? Why were they all saying they didn't mean that and weren't familiar with them now?

Fortunately, there were still two masters standing with him, otherwise the strong man felt that he would lose all face.

"If there's nothing else, let's go!" Wang Sheng glanced at these three fools, too lazy to even shake his head. They were being used as pawns and didn't even realize it, still thinking they were the best in the world. Why bother with such people? Once they entered the Thousand Absolutes Land, he could just find an excuse to kill them.

"Don't go, explain yourself clearly." The strong man was furious. It was one thing for his former companions to betray him, but even a junior like Wang Sheng dared to ignore him. If he lowered his head now, how would he ever face anyone again?

"Explain what clearly?" Wang Sheng frowned and then looked at Lu Wenhou, who was watching the show over there.

Lu Wenhou spread his hands at Wang Sheng and shrugged, indicating that this had nothing to do with him. Indeed, Lu Wenhou was just a young master from a commercial family. He could organize a team, but he couldn't control the disciples of these major forces. Lu Wenhou had already personally reminded Wang Sheng at his home before.

"Didn't you say that if we violated your iron rule, we would encounter some mishap?" The strong man was also determined. With two companions backing him up, he had to get back at Wang Sheng here: "Half of Worry-Free City is in the Thousand Absolutes Land. We are now in the Thousand Absolutes Land. Show me what kind of mishap we will encounter."

Everyone was stunned. What did this mean? Challenging Wang Sheng on the spot? Did he not want to enter the Thousand Absolutes Land? Even the people who were seeing them off were frowning at this moment.

"Are you sure you want to see?" Wang Sheng looked strange and asked the strong man and the two masters behind him, "You too?"

The three people nodded at the same time. The strong man was even more fearless. He directly took out his weapon and provoked Wang Sheng: "That's right! I want to see what kind of mishap can happen in the Thousand Absolutes Land."

Wang Sheng sighed, turned his head and gave the old Taoist priest a helpless look, and said weakly, "Show them the mishap!"

The old Taoist priest played the role of a dutiful guard to the fullest. No matter how those people looked down on him or despised him before, the old Taoist priest didn't say a word. The ancestor of the Old Lord Temple, if not for fate, if not for the old Taoist priest liking you, would he deign to talk to you? Dream on!

The moment Wang Sheng's voice fell, the old Taoist priest's figure turned into a shadow and flew out with a whoosh. Bang, bang, bang, three sounds almost merged into one. The strong man and the two masters behind him, a total of three heads, instantly turned into three bloody, blurred broken gourds.

The three corpses with their heads shattered were still standing upright. The old Taoist priest was already carrying a hammer that Wang Sheng had asked for, the one Wang Sheng had used to carve the statue of the Old Lord back then, and slowly walked back.

"Alas!" Wang Sheng looked at the three corpses and shook his head, sighing, "I said there would be a mishap, but you didn't believe me. A foul mouth leads to no future!"
