Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 311: Selling Information (Part 2)

From the first casualty, from the first demon beast encountered, those listening basically had questions and began to inquire carefully.

Fortunately, it wasn't just Wang Sheng who was there at the time. Tang Lao Wu and the Red-Rank Assassin were also able to answer some of these questions in Wang Sheng's place, so the authenticity was beyond doubt.

The various parties weren't questioning Wang Sheng's statements. They simply wanted to judge the grade of the demon beasts inside based on the encountered demon beasts and the course of the battles, so as to be sufficiently prepared for entering the core area next time.

Wang Sheng and the others knew the intentions of the various parties, so they described everything very clearly. The level of each demon beast was a conclusion reached by the three of them after comprehensive consideration. And these conclusions shocked all parties. The level of those small demon beasts was likely to exceed the late stage of the eighth layer.

When Wang Sheng talked about digging up a boundary marker from under the ice and snow more than ten zhang deep, everyone was in an uproar. Especially when Wang Sheng took out the boundary marker and said that it would be auctioned later, the various parties almost started fighting on the spot.

The biggest reaction was naturally from the Dai family representative. This was clearly something of the Dai family, and the character 'Dai' was even engraved on it with utmost clarity. Why should it be auctioned?

There were not only words on the boundary marker, but also a small array formation. According to Tang Lao Wu, it should be a small array formation used to mark the boundary. He wasn't familiar with the array formations of five hundred years ago. However, if this array formation fell into the hands of real array formation masters from various parties, combined with the information passed down by each family, they might be able to clearly understand what happened back then and what this boundary marker represented.

This small dispute was jointly suppressed by all parties except the Dai family. Although the City Lord of Worry-Free City didn't show up directly, his butler gave the Dai family representative a stern warning. The boundary marker was Wang Sheng's trophy. If the Dai family wanted it, they could buy it at the highest price. If they continued to make trouble unreasonably, the Dai family would be expelled from the auction house.

Compared to the secrets that followed, a boundary marker was clearly not worth the Dai family giving up. However, the gazes of the three Dai family representatives towards Wang Sheng were all filled with angry hostility.

Wang Sheng didn't care about this at all. He had killed so many people from the Dai family. Would giving the boundary marker to the Dai family allow him to turn hostility into friendship with the Dai family? Even including all the forces present, besides Yu Bao Sect and Worry-Free City, which family hadn't Wang Sheng killed several experts from? If Wang Sheng were to investigate each one, would he even survive?

The exploration process continued until Wang Sheng discovered that ice slope. What they saw, what they heard, and what they felt, the three of them took turns speaking, describing it in extreme detail. The representatives of the various parties present were dumbfounded and couldn't believe how there could be such terrifying experts.

Especially when Tang Lao Wu said that the expert might be bound by the array formation, the scene was filled with successive sounds of 'How is that possible?'

Wang Sheng, Tang Lao Wu, and the Red-Rank Assassin belonged to three different forces, so it was obviously impossible for them to collude and lie. As for the Tang family and Worry-Free City, they were even more delighted. They could later obtain more detailed and truthful information from their own people.

The subsequent story was more cliché. Tang Lao Wu shared the discovery of the array formation with everyone. On the way back, they were attacked by various demon beasts. Dai Lao Qi led three experts to forcibly leave Wang Sheng and the other two to leave, but never returned. Tang Lao Wu and the Red-Rank Assassin had vision problems, etc. Wang Sheng spoke very clearly.

"How do you know their eyes would have problems?" The representatives of the Shi family and Xia family didn't know how many times they cursed their own disciples in their hearts. At the critical moment, they followed the wrong person and didn't even have a chance to return. However, they seized a small detail in Wang Sheng's description, and the expert from the Shi family quickly asked.

"Obviously, you don't have any experience of surviving in icy and snowy lands." Wang Sheng didn't conceal his contempt for these natives' lack of field survival experience, but he didn't intend to tell the whole truth. "Under the influence of strong winds and ice and snow, this kind of situation is normal. You can ask those who have lived in the ice and snow for a long time yourselves."

Wang Sheng wasn't afraid of them asking. People who lived in the ice and snow would definitely encounter this problem. Without a detailed understanding of the causes of snow blindness, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

"Then why are you unscathed?" The Xia family representative immediately pressed.

"I have preventive methods." Wang Sheng replied easily. Before the Xia family representative could say anything more, Wang Sheng interrupted him and said, "If you want to know, you can buy it." One sentence blocked all the questions.

Wang Sheng didn't invite the various parties to send experts into the core area, so he had no obligation to inform them how to survive in the icy and snowy land. Besides, when they set off before, everyone, including Wang Sheng, didn't know they would enter an icy and snowy world, so it was normal to be unprepared.

Basically, at this point, the situation inside was explained, and Wang Sheng had completed his promise. Wang Sheng directly handed over the matter of auctioning the boundary marker to Lu Wenhuan of Yu Bao Sect. He greeted the City Lord of Worry-Free City and Lu Wenhuan, who had been hiding in the VIP room, and left the auction house.

The auction house was silent. The various parties were digesting what Wang Sheng and the other two had said. Tang Lao Wu and the Red-Rank Assassin also returned to the Tang family and the City Lord respectively. The reason why everyone hadn't left was to wait for the upcoming auction of the boundary marker.

The Dai family was very unhappy, but they could only grit their teeth and wait for the auction. Not only that, but they also had to pay a large sum of gold coins to buy the boundary marker from Wang Sheng, whom they hated so much. The Dai family was determined to obtain the boundary marker of their ancestors.

Unfortunately, the Dai family knew this, and the other families also knew this. They were absolutely happy to add a little bit more when the Dai family raised the price, so that Wang Sheng could get more gold coins from the Dai family in order to befriend Wang Sheng.

Especially the Tang family and the City Lord of Worry-Free City. The first piece of information that Tang Lao Wu and the Red-Rank Assassin gave them was to befriend Wang Sheng at all costs. The reason was not suitable to be said here, but it was definitely enough.

Following Wang Sheng could avoid most of the demon beasts. It wasn't just Tang Lao Wu who discovered this. The Red-Rank Assassin could become a Red-Rank Assassin, so he naturally had his own unique skills and also discovered this. This reason alone was enough to move both parties.

Moreover, the other families weren't fools either. As long as they didn't cooperate with the Dai family, they were happy to let the Dai family pay more so that they could befriend Wang Sheng. It was just a favor of moving their mouths, which was beneficial and not expensive. Why not do it?

"Starting price, ten thousand gold coins!" Lu Wenhuan harmlessly held the boundary marker that Wang Sheng gave him and began the auction. Before he could say the rules for raising the price, someone below had already shouted.

"One million gold coins!" The one who spoke was the City Lord of Worry-Free City, who had not shown his face all along.
