Dragon's Origin

Chapter 571: The Gan Family Cries (Part 2)

At the Changsheng Duke's residence, a Daoist priest had naturally already been dispatched to report the news, with the old Daoist specifically instructing that Wang Sheng's exact words be conveyed. Of course, the main point was to fleece the Gan family to death.

If the Gan family was willing to be besieged every time they entered the Thousand Absolutes Ground from then on, they were welcome to ignore Wang Sheng's ultimatum. However, that decision was not so easy to make.

Upon receiving the news, a sharp glint flashed in Mei'er's eyes. She was still amiable to the Daoist priest who came to deliver the message, instructing Steward Wang to treat him warmly and thoughtfully, ensuring he wasn't neglected. But as she turned away, Rose saw Mei'er's gaze turn as sharp as a knife.

The Gan family was in trouble this time! Rose snorted coldly in her heart. Similarly, she was also furious at the Gan family's suicidal behavior, but she didn't show it in front of outsiders. However, in front of Mei'er, Rose didn't need to hide her anger at all, and she almost wanted to send someone to Gan State to kill them immediately.

"Rose, don't be anxious," Mei'er, obviously better at controlling her emotions than Rose, stopped her when she saw Rose was about to lose control. "The Duke said that you and the sisters should focus on cultivation during this time. You are our last guarantee of being able to sleep peacefully in the future, and we absolutely cannot afford to lose you."

Wang Sheng, Mei'er, and Rose had discussed the arrangements for the women of the Grand View Garden. Wang Sheng would never let them go out to take risks before they had the ability to fight, and this would not change for several years. Rose also knew this, so she obediently nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, once the Gan family's compensation arrives, we will use it to put a bounty on the heads of everyone in the Gan family," Mei'er narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed again. "So, it depends on how many gold coins we can squeeze out of them."

The two women were filled with fighting spirit at the thought of the joy of robbing the Xia family last time. These two extremely powerful wills seemed to penetrate time and space, causing the Gan family's patriarch, who was far away in the capital of Gan State, to suddenly feel a chill.

The Gan family's patriarch and several elders were waiting for news. From the moment they received the message from the messenger bird in the capital to the arrangement, the speed was very fast. This was due to their proximity to the capital, and the high-speed messenger bird could fly from the capital to the capital in less than half an hour. Adding the preparations and mobilizing the troops, it took less than an hour in total.

According to the normal pace of people, those experts should have successfully killed Old Daoist Lingxu and taken Wang Sheng away. As long as they went into the Thousand Absolutes Ground, no one would know their identities or where they went. As for Gan State, they just had to wait to bring people back for interrogation.

Everything felt perfect, and the suppression of power was absolutely overwhelming, with no possibility of any variables. It was just that these people were a bit sloppy in their work, completely disregarding the feelings of the people in the rear, and they hadn't sent any news back yet. Of course, it was likely because they were in a hurry and afraid of being discovered, so they would report when they reached the edge of the Thousand Absolutes Ground.

While waiting anxiously, the patriarch and elders finally received a message from the messenger bird. The disciple who received the message did not dare to neglect it and delivered the letter, still in its bag, directly to the patriarch.

With a good mood full of anticipation, the patriarch opened the messenger bird's letter bag, took out the letter inside, and after only a few glances, his whole person became sluggish.

The elders next to him saw that the patriarch's state was not right, and one impatient elder snatched the letter from the patriarch's hand. After a few glances, his expression also changed drastically. After the letter was passed through the hands of all the elders, everyone fell silent.

The foolproof plan had actually failed, and the failure was due to not considering that the Old Lord Temple would send people to meet them.

Everyone felt an urge to curse in their hearts. Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu had gone to the Old Lord Temple from the city so many times, and not once had the Old Lord Temple sent people to meet them on the road. They finally caught the one time when only two people went out, and they encountered such a tragic thing. Who could they reason with?

Forty-five legendary experts, including more than twenty legendary peak experts, were all wiped out! How many legendary peak experts did the Gan family have in total? Half of them were gone at once.

The Gan family's patriarch wanted to cry but had no tears! How could he have suddenly been blinded by lard and thought of sending people to attack Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu? Now it was good, not only did they lose everything, but Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu were not harmed at all, and the Gan family was going to have big trouble next.

The Changsheng Duke's residence and the Old Lord Temple both wanted the Gan family to give an explanation. If they didn't give an explanation for this matter, it was likely that this matter would not pass. Thinking of the value of the core area of the Thousand Absolutes Ground, and thinking of the huge secrets that might be hidden inside, the Gan family had to give an explanation to both families, even if they gritted their teeth.

The problem was that this explanation would probably not be easy. Someone would have to take the blame, and whoever ordered the ambush would have to push out someone of sufficient weight, probably at least an elder. If the status and position were too low, let alone the Changsheng Duke and the Old Lord Temple not believing it, even the people watching the show would not believe it! Dozens of legendary peak experts, could you just push out a small fry to command them? Who are you fooling?

This was not counting the compensation that would come later. At the thought of having to face Madam Mei of the Changsheng Duke's residence, all the Gan family's high-level executives felt numb.

Although it was not said how much the Xia family was scammed, the Qiu family and the Tang family had both revealed that just for an extremely simple method of entering the Mountain Yue Land, each family had paid a price of tens of millions of gold coins.

That was just buying a method, and everyone's relationship was still good, with no substantial harm. However, sending experts to ambush and being counter-killed, what kind of price would they have to pay to face Madam Mei?

"Speak! What should we do?" After a daze, the Gan State's patriarch finally calmed down. Most of the elders were here, so he had to quickly think of a way!

Everyone was silent. The matter had already happened, and there was no point in shirking responsibility. They had been caught red-handed. What was going on?

"No one saw what happened. How about we turn around and ask the Changsheng Duke and the Old Lord Temple for an explanation?" An elder suggested in a low voice, "Our people died, isn't it normal to ask them for an explanation?"

The patriarch looked directly at the elder who made the suggestion, as if looking at an idiot. The other elders' gazes also became strange. The elder who spoke instantly realized that something was wrong. He had forgotten about the core of the Thousand Absolutes Ground. It was okay to bite back, but then the Gan family could say goodbye to the Thousand Absolutes Ground in the future. They had just obtained a part of the peerless treasure from the core of the Thousand Absolutes Ground, and they hadn't gotten their hands on a lot of real secrets yet. Did the Gan family not want it?

"Send someone with a silver tongue to the Changsheng Duke's residence to listen to Madam Mei's demands first!" Another elder suggested a reliable method.

In any case, the Gan family was in big trouble this time!
