Dragon's Origin

#49 - pressure

The death of Fourth Master Dai is definitely a major event. It signifies the breaking of the external equilibrium of power among the five great families. Not only the five great families, but basically all families with strength will likely participate in a new round of reshuffling.

Song Yan finally woke up from her shock and realized the enormous impact of Fourth Master Dai's death on her family. If this matter is handled properly, the Song family should be the one to extract the greatest benefits.

Staying with Wang Sheng at this time is simply a waste of opportunity. Song Yan also saw that Wang Sheng would definitely not return to the family with her.

This enigmatic man, whom outsiders have always regarded as a barbarian and a nonentity, possesses a pride that surpasses everyone Song Yan has ever met combined. He is absolutely unwilling to rely on a woman, even if that woman is herself.

"I have to leave," she said. This place is safe. Wang Sheng has set up several small traps along the way, so no one will be able to catch up for a while. Song Yan finally understood many things and began to bid farewell to Wang Sheng.

"Go then!" Wang Sheng nodded. He and Song Yan couldn't be considered comrades; they were merely in a cooperative relationship. "If you go back and make arrangements early, you can still gain many benefits and power."

"Okay!" Song Yan suddenly felt like crying, her eyes red as she nodded. "When I can truly control the Song family, you can come and find me again. At that time, with great power in hand, I can do whatever I want."

"That's not really true power," Wang Sheng smiled, as if admonishing and joking at the same time. "True power is not just about doing whatever you want; sometimes, it's about not doing what you don't want to do. That's true control."

Wang Sheng's seemingly casual remark suddenly enlightened Song Yan. Ah, not doing what you don't want to do! It sounds easy, but how difficult is it to achieve?

Take Song Yan, for example. As the direct daughter of the family head, she was forced to participate in a trial with a slim chance of survival. Before that, she couldn't even prevent those who wanted to marry her off to outsiders. Not wanting to marry was simply a joke in the past, but now, it seems to be becoming a reality.

"Some things are really beyond one's control," Song Yan lowered her head and suddenly apologized to Wang Sheng: "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay!" Wang Sheng was very generous and responded directly, not caring why Song Yan was apologizing to him.

"Do you know why I'm apologizing?" Song Yan widened her eyes, originally intending to tell Wang Sheng, but now she was a little surprised.

"I killed Fourth Master Dai, and your family will probably take action against me," Wang Sheng replied without thinking.

"How do you know?" Song Yan was even more surprised. This was what she had just thought of. Was Wang Sheng a蛔虫 in her stomach?

"Isn't that how domineering families are?" Wang Sheng smiled and asked Song Yan: "If you can't be used by me, then kill you to avoid being used by the enemy. Can the Song family be an exception?"

Of course, the Song family couldn't be an exception. Song Yan herself could imagine how the elders could let Wang Sheng, who could threaten their lives from three or four miles away, go.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng had already thought of this. Song Yan didn't know what to say at this moment.

"I've known you for so long, and I still don't know what your spirit soul is," Wang Sheng suddenly asked. "Is it convenient to tell me?"

"It's not a secret!" Song Yan adjusted her mood and slowly said: "I was plotted against when I fused with my spirit soul, and it's just a six-star Frost Turtle."

Being plotted against by people within her own family and fusing with a low-grade spirit soul, Song Yan's mood was indescribably heavy. She forced a smile and said to Wang Sheng: "Very disappointed, right? Actually, I've long been a废人 in the circles of several major families."

"Work hard!" Hearing that Song Yan's spirit soul was a water-attribute Frost Turtle, the concept of Xuanwu naturally flashed through Wang Sheng's mind. He encouraged Song Yan: "When you can truly unleash the power of your spirit soul and reach the sixth level of cultivation, I'll tell you how to improve your spirit soul."

"How is that possible?" The moment this sentence flashed in Song Yan's mind, before she could say it, she suddenly remembered the anomaly of Wang Sheng, whose spirit soul was clearly a nonentity, yet he was at the first level of cultivation.

Since Wang Sheng said so, and Wang Sheng had actually done it, then that meant Wang Sheng really knew the method. Song Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and her whole person exaggeratedly displayed a strong fighting spirit.

"I'm leaving!" This time, Song Yan didn't say much. With her spirits lifted, she even had the energy to go back and fight for power. After saying goodbye to Wang Sheng, she thought for a moment and added: "Don't die!"

"Don't worry!" Wang Sheng waved to Song Yan, not forgetting to tease her before she left: "When I get a killer identity in Worry-Free City in a while, you can pay me if you want to kill someone!"

"By the way, don't casually inquire about the Phoenix spirit soul," Song Yan solemnly warned Wang Sheng: "Believe me, it's a taboo."

Song Yan left with a smile. Originally, she was about to lose her fighting spirit and prepare to give up everything in the family, but Wang Sheng's actions and words turned her back into the ambitious young lady. In the future, the Song family will ultimately be ruled by the family head, not a group of treacherous elders.

After seeing Song Yan off, Wang Sheng felt even more relaxed. In the mountains and forests, even in the mountains and forests of this unfamiliar world, Wang Sheng had a feeling of being in his element. Even if there were still more than a hundred Dai family experts with bloodshot eyes behind him, Wang Sheng wouldn't care.

What Wang Sheng urgently needed now was to improve his strength, especially after seeing the strength of Fourth Master Dai. A mere outer affairs steward like Fourth Master Dai put so much pressure on him. If he really had to face those old monsters sitting in the sects of the various families, wouldn't he have no chance at all?

The first level of cultivation was far from enough. Wang Sheng had to improve himself to the second and third levels as soon as possible to have a meager foothold. Otherwise, he would only be hunted down like a rabbit, or rely on the major families or large merchants. Wang Sheng didn't want that.

The Dai family experts brought Wang Sheng immense pressure, but also immense motivation, forcing Wang Sheng to improve rapidly. They were also the whetstone Wang Sheng found for himself.

The first transformation of the spirit soul was the Chiwen transformation. Wang Sheng hadn't thought about the second transformation yet, but after parting with Song Yan, Wang Sheng had some ideas.

Among the nine sons of the dragon, in terms of combat power, Yazhi must be the strongest. Bixi must have the greatest strength, Fuxi must have the best calligraphy, etc., but in terms of inheritance, Taotie is the closest to Chiwen.

Chiwen likes to look and swallow, and Taotie also likes to swallow and eat. In this respect, the two are slightly similar. Upgrading is probably the easiest as well.

At the same time, there was an external reason that made Wang Sheng choose Taotie.

The Dai family obtained a nine-star spirit soul of ninety-nine carp devouring each other to grow. In Wang Sheng's concept, this kind of mutual devouring is Gu, definitely not a good thing. However, this thing is indeed very vicious and very powerful.

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

Originally, there were a hundred carp being raised, but Wang Sheng ran into one, which meant that the nine-star spirit soul obtained by the Dai family was actually incomplete. It may have just been taken back and allowed someone to fuse with it a few days ago, and no one would have noticed. But as the cultivation deepened, the owner of that spirit soul would definitely discover this fatal flaw.

According to Wang Sheng and Song Yan's speculation, the nine-star spirit soul must be used by the next family head candidate of the Dai family. Dai Huan might have had a chance before, but Dai Huan is dead, so it is likely his younger brother. At that time, it would be unavoidable for the Dai family head to use the Dai family's power to hunt down Wang Sheng and devour Wang Sheng's spirit soul.

Since there was a high probability of devouring a powerful nine-star spirit soul, why didn't Wang Sheng let Taotie compete with the opponent to see who devoured whom? Now Wang Sheng was even looking forward to letting the Dai family's future family head discover the flaw sooner and then come and devour him.

Therefore, Wang Sheng chose the second transformation to be the Taotie transformation.

Just as Wang Sheng strengthened his thoughts, the spirit soul space changed, and a cloud path appeared directly in front of Chiwen. Needless to say, ahead must be Taotie.

Chiwen likes to look, so it strengthens Wang Sheng's vision, so what does it swallow? Wang Sheng had no concept until now and could only take it one step at a time. After all, it was something Wang Sheng figured out on his own, and no one could give him any guidance.

Even the gray shadow little man had no room for optimization in this regard and didn't know how to improve it. Perhaps everything needed to be explored on its own in battle.

The Dai family completely blocked the news, but what they didn't know was that Song Yan was present at the time and watched Dai Huan die in front of her, so Song Yan left and within a few days, the Song family knew everything.

The Song family's power in Shanglin City was almost frantically mobilized, and a large number of experts from the Tianhe Song family also came to hunt down the Dai family. The reason was that Fourth Master Dai led people to kill hundreds of people within the Song family's territory.

Of course, someone from the Dai family flew to report the news, but by the time the Dai family got the news, it was too late to mobilize manpower. The Dai family head, in a fit of rage, directly issued a high reward, offering a reward for killing the murderer of Fourth Master Dai.

The Song family's nine-star spirit soul was robbed, and now Fourth Master Dai died within the Song family's territory. The two sides really formed an irreconcilable feud. At this time, even a few elders of the Song family who had previously been on good terms with the Dai family did not dare to say a word at this time. It was a matter of family interests. Whoever dared to collude with the Dai family again was the family's greatest enemy.

Seeing that it could not be concealed, the Dai family also spread more news. Fourth Master Dai was killed by a barbarian whose spirit soul was a nonentity. The barbarian had a weapon that could kill a fourth-level peak expert from several miles away. This barbarian was a member of the Song family.

So the pressure instantly fell on the Song family again. Countless experts, directly or indirectly, brought words to the Song family, asking the elders in charge of the Song family if it was true, what kind of weapon it was, and what the identity of the barbarian was. Was the Song family going to make an enemy of the whole world by doing this?

Under great pressure, the elders of the Song family decisively announced the kill order for Wang Sheng. Just as Wang Sheng said, if he can't be used by me, then kill him to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.
