Dragon's Origin

The fact that a young expert, heavily supported by the Shi family in the south of the city, was killed in the street and the murderer escaped clearly showed a lack of respect for the Shi family. This was intolerable!

Not only the Shi family in the south of the city, but all four branches of the Shi family in Linchuan City were mobilized. Although they usually fought fiercely among themselves, they were, after all, from the same lineage of the Shi family, with bones connected to flesh. When facing outsiders, they were always united.

Of course, there was an even more important reason: the stolen Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box. The reason why the four side branches of the Shi family could stay in Linchuan City, constantly engaging in small disputes but still living relatively peacefully, was because of this Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box.

Inside was a foundation for their livelihood left to the four branches by a common ancestor, containing half of a peerless treasure map. To protect this half of the map, the four branches of the Shi family in Linchuan had been suppressed by the direct line of the Shi family for many years.

But as long as they had this half of the map, the main family had to maintain their status, even if they were sent to this remote city, they would still have everything they were entitled to.

The Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box had four locks, and of course, four keys. These four keys were kept by the heads of the four Shi family branches respectively. The seal box itself was kept in rotation by the four families, and this year it happened to be the turn of the southern branch.

This time, the theft of the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box could be said to have undermined the foundation of the four Shi family branches. Any disturbance would trigger the Shi family's frenzy.

Wang Sheng killing someone in the street was, of course, provoking the four Shi family branches, so it was not surprising that the whole city was searched. Soon, someone discovered that Wang Sheng had left by water.

This was not because Wang Sheng was not careful, but because he deliberately left traces. The place where he left the traces was exactly where the group of mysterious people had hidden the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box. As long as they went into the water at that place and searched carefully, they would definitely find the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box.

Those guys did something good, but Wang Sheng had to take the blame. Wang Sheng would not be so easy to deal with, and of course, he had to cause them some trouble.

Sure enough, just as the Shi family was about to send people with good swimming skills into the water, some people couldn't sit still. Suddenly, a burst of powerful crossbow bolts killed more than a dozen members of the four Shi family branches on the spot by the river.

Who would have expected such a drastic change when the Shi family was heavily tracking down the murderer Wang Sheng? The Shi family members were completely stunned. It wasn't until they saw a man in black jumping into the water and retrieving something that made the Shi family members go crazy that all the Shi family members immediately turned red-eyed.

The Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box, the thing they had been searching for for days, was actually hidden in the river. Those who were close by immediately shouted, and within a few minutes, all the members of the four Shi family branches in Linchuan received the news.

There were not many men in black, only a dozen in total. How could they be a match for the Shi family members all over the city? Even if they were all experts, with the worst having the strength of the Second Realm peak, they were still outnumbered. A good fist could not withstand many hands, and the Shi family members were almost desperately attacking. No matter how powerful the men in black were, they could only die one by one.

When his companions fell one by one, the leading man in black knew that this mission had failed. The only consolation was that they had not exposed their identities, and no one knew which force they belonged to.

How hateful! If Wang Sheng had not escaped from the water, the location of the seal box would not have been exposed. As long as the storm passed, they could naturally take the seal box and fly away. But Wang Sheng's jump into the water ruined their hard-won plan.

Was this Wang Sheng's fault? They knew everything about the matter between Wang Sheng and Shi Lixing, and they couldn't blame Wang Sheng at all. Wang Sheng was the one who suffered an undeserved disaster!

The men in black had been hiding in the market all along, and one of the shops was their secret stronghold. They had lived in Linchuan City for three full years for this matter. They had seen Shi Lixing come to Wang Sheng for trouble before, and later they borrowed Shi Lixing's name to kill his love rival and stir up trouble among the four Shi family branches.

Wang Sheng was able to see them several times with the infrared telescope because they were hiding here. This time, Shi Lixing came to kill Wang Sheng, and they even watched the fun from the crack in the door. They were gloating, but they didn't expect that misfortune would fall on them the next moment.

Since he knew that he could not escape, the leader of the men in black hardened his heart, raised the sharp blade in his hand, and used all his spiritual power to stab the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box fiercely.

If the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box was snatched back by the four Shi family branches, they would definitely learn from this lesson and take strict care of it. It would not be so easy to find an opportunity to steal it again. Since they could not get it, the man in black would not leave it to others, so he simply destroyed it.

"Thief, how dare you?" The Shi family disciples who saw this scene were about to burst their eyes. Even if they didn't know what important things were inside, they knew what they had been frantically searching for these days. What would happen if the seal box was stabbed down?

The reason why the exquisite seal box was used to preserve important things was because of its superb safety performance. The safest part was that once it was opened by methods other than the key, or forced open, the corrosive liquid stored inside would corrode the contents.

The animal skin map would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of corrosion and would definitely turn into a pool of black water. Under such circumstances, the Shi family experts who had been hesitant to act finally came forward.

Whoosh, the sound of breaking through the air rang out. The black-clothed leader's knife hadn't even stabbed the Linglong Pavilion seal box when it seemed to be hit by some great force. With a crisp sound, it broke into two pieces.

Not only that, but the black-clothed man's arm was as if struck by lightning. After twitching, it made a slight sound of bone breaking, and immediately drooped softly, no longer able to exert any strength.

At this time, everyone saw that a person was rushing towards this side like a galloping horse, it was the head of the Shi family in the south of the city.

Many people thought that the patriarch was only at the early stage of the Fourth Realm, but who would have thought that facing a black-clothed man in the Third Realm, from such a distance, with just one blow, the black-clothed man lost his ability to resist. According to this estimate, the patriarch must be at least at the late stage of the Fourth Realm.

The black-clothed man smiled miserably in his heart. He wanted to destroy this seal box, but he actually saw the true cultivation of the Shi family patriarch in the south of the city. It seemed that the patriarchs of the other three families were not necessarily weak either. This time, he really misjudged.

However, the black-clothed man could endure for several years just for this one seal box, how could he give up so easily? Without even thinking about it, he raised the hand holding the seal box and slammed it against a stone on the ground.

"Bold!" The head of the Shi family in the south of the city was about to rush to this side, and he was furious when he saw this. He flicked his finger again. A piece of jade ornament on his body was quickly torn off and flicked out.

This time, the jade ornament was aimed directly at the black-clothed man's head. As long as he died, his spiritual energy would be cut off, and the Linglong seal box in his hand would naturally not be broken. To be used as a safe, it at least has basic shock resistance.

What he never expected was that the black-clothed man was just making a show just now, but at this moment, he raised his hand and blocked the Linglong seal box in front of him. The piece of jade ornament that the patriarch flicked out in a hurry hit the seal box squarely.

With a snap, the strength of the patriarch's angry blow was so great that it was even greater than the strength of the black-clothed man's desperate blow. The entire piece of jade ornament turned into powder after a crisp sound, and the Linglong seal box flew far away and fell to the ground after the black-clothed man shook his hand.

It must be said that the Linglong seal box was indeed strong enough. Under such a great force, it only showed a shallow pit. However, the hissing sound coming from the seal box and the wisps of white smoke coming out of the irregular edges had clearly told everyone who saw this scene what had happened.

The half of the peerless treasure map that the four Shi family branches had treasured and specially preserved with the Four Symbols Linglong seal box was actually destroyed in the hands of the Shi family patriarch in the south of the city.

"Hahahaha!" In the eyes of all the Shi family members who were almost going to eat him alive, the black-clothed man laughed loudly. Was there anything happier than watching a group of people's hopes shattered earlier than their own? Especially when this group of people were their enemies.

The face of the Shi family patriarch was almost frozen with ice, looking at the laughing black-clothed man, he had the intention of cutting him into pieces. But this only living person could not die, at least to know from his mouth, which force was attacking him, was it the Song family? The Dai family? The Qiu family? The Tang family? Or the Shi family?

Looking at the Shi family patriarch who was standing not far in front of him, the black-clothed man showed the last crazy smile on his face. After all, the four Shi family branches still ended up with nothing, although he himself was, but after all, the Shi family originally held the treasure map in their hands. Seeing that the Shi family patriarch was more sad than himself, the black-clothed man laughed even happier.

Knowing that he could not escape, the black-clothed man had long had the will to die. Before he died, he successfully destroyed the Linglong seal box, which made him even more proud. The only thing he was unhappy about was that Wang Sheng, who had caused all this, had successfully escaped.

"Our escaped companion has taken away the things inside." The black-clothed man smiled and said to the Shi family patriarch who was slowly walking over: "Your Four Symbols Linglong seal box is just a false name. I originally wanted to change a rag for you to play with, but you found out. Isn't it less sad now?"

If Wang Sheng was here, he would be speechless when he heard the black-clothed man's words. To be able to think of stuffing a rag together, it was really a common language.

Looking at the black-clothed man smiling and saying these things to him, the Shi family patriarch's heart suddenly shook. Just as he was about to attack, he saw a trace of black blood slowly flowing from the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth. He didn't know when, but the black-clothed man had already taken poison. These guys were all death warriors, how could they leave themselves alive to the enemy?

"Go check who that escaped person is?" Suppressing the anger in his heart, the Shi family patriarch calmly ordered. Regardless of whether what the black-clothed man said was true or false, he had to check it out. If it was true, then there was still hope for everything. If not, then the Shi family would not let go of anyone who dared to offend the Shi family.
