Dragon's Origin

#1475 - Escape from the Thousand Desolations (Part 2)

The result? If they knew the result, would there be any need to say anything? Weren't they anxious precisely because they hadn't received any response?.

This whole thing was done behind the backs of their own family head and the Great Elder. If it succeeded, it would be an unparalleled achievement. But if it failed, it would be a great sin.

Two extremely weakened experts, who had previously fought against more than fifty experts from the Linglong Pavilion, plus over three hundred legends from the Eight Great Families—even a god would probably be on their last breath right now, right? Even the news from those experts saying they found traces of them moving like ordinary people would tempt anyone else.

Thirty-seven legendary experts chasing down two weakened individuals and a comatose woman—not just these few elders, but even those thirty-seven experts were extremely tempted. In fact, the real suggestion came from two or three of those experts. The message was sent here, intercepted by a few elders, who only sent up the news of the trace discovery, without sending their suggestions.

The messenger beast's messages were the responsibility of these elders, and they could easily issue some 'false edicts.' Several people thought the opportunity was good, and under the suggestion of the Shi family's elder, they made such an arrangement.

"What's the latest news?" The Tang family head asked slowly, his eyes lowered.

"Chang Sheng Gong created a false impression, wasting more than two days of their time. Now they have found the correct direction and are tracking them down," the Shi family elder quickly replied. At this point, none of them dared to hide anything. "The traces are fresh. Chang Sheng Gong and the others have only been gone for at most an hour."

"How long has it been since this news arrived?" The Feng family head asked immediately after.

"Two hours, almost three hours," the Shi family elder obediently replied.

"Sigh!" More than a dozen clear sighs sounded almost simultaneously.

"A group of legendary experts chasing two people who can barely walk for more than two days without catching up—isn't that enough for you to understand something?" Song Yan directly began to mock from the side. "Even I, who am so stupid, understand it. How can you not think of it?"

A difference of one hour, but three hours have passed without any news. What would the result be? These people have experienced wind and rain for so many years, could they really not figure it out?

Why were the junior elders so anxious? Didn't they know what this meant? On the contrary, it was precisely because they had already thought of the possible outcome that they were so anxious.

Thirty-seven legendary experts, an average of six from each of the six families. Just recently, they lost fifty, and the six families were stabbed again, losing another six each. The heads and Great Elders of the six families were already heartbroken and wanted to cry. These guys who are more likely to spoil things than accomplish them, how could you casually decide on such a thing?

A small loss of strength for the Eight Great Families means a small increase in the say of the royal family and those smaller families and forces. Their voices will be a little louder.

But this wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was the internal situation of the Eight Great Families. Everyone had already suffered heavy losses, but coincidentally, there were no members of the Tang and Song families in the second batch of experts who set out. According to the two families, the returning experts were enough to tell them everything, and there was no need to send anyone else. But how could the six families dare to believe that? Who would trust a report that wasn't from their own people? That's why the six families sent out the second batch of experts.

Now, the thirty-seven legendary experts who were sent out are definitely gone as well, and the strength of the six families is further weakened. The Tang and Song families are probably going to truly occupy a larger share.

The six elders who acted on their own were immediately stripped of their elder status. Fortunately, they were still ninth-level experts, and it was a time when people were needed, so they were kept around. Otherwise, they would have been crippled directly. No matter what the starting point, the thing that superiors cannot have challenged the most is their dignity. Issuing orders in their name, issuing false edicts—these are usually crimes punishable by beheading and confiscation of property.

Even more unbelievable were Wang Sheng and Lin Ling. A Qi was unconscious, and the experts from the Tang and Song families had already reported that she had no fighting strength at all. The only one who actually fought was Lin Ling.

The two of them were so weak, yet they could easily deal with thirty-seven legendary experts, without even one person sending back a message. It was simply shocking! Everyone knew about Wang Sheng's condition, but just how powerful was that Lin Ling?

Lin Ling was already so terrifying, so how powerful would the twenty-four ancestors sealed here be? For a moment, the various families suddenly wavered on the matter of unsealing and releasing the twenty-four ancestors. Was it really worth releasing them because of the secret they were guarding?

This was already the third day, and the royal family and people from all sides would arrive soon. At this time, such wavering was not a good thing. Everyone's mood was completely ruined, and they were all worried.

Wang Sheng had no idea that the Eight Great Families had been frightened again. From beginning to end, Wang Sheng and A Qi hadn't encountered a single enemy, only seeing a few corpses.

But knowing that someone was supporting him from behind, Wang Sheng's mood was very good, in stark contrast to the crowd on the glacier lake.

A Qi's condition was also getting better and better. Now her breathing was even, her expression was peaceful, and her injuries were definitely not life-threatening. All that was left was recovery, which was purely a matter of time.

As for Wang Sheng himself, his condition was even better. After eating four Ice Heart Jade Dew Pills in the previous two days, Wang Sheng's internal injuries had been brought under control. On the third day, which was now, Wang Sheng had already begun to eat the Good Fortune Pills he carried with him.

The medicinal power of the Good Fortune Pill was even stronger and more overbearing. The Seven Character Formula, combined with the Good Fortune Pill, almost restored Wang Sheng's internal and external injuries by eighty percent, and his combat power also recovered by eighty percent. There was no sign of injury on Wang Sheng's body.

After resting for another two hours, Wang Sheng, carrying A Qi on his back, spiritedly embarked on the road to leave the Thousand Absolute Land.

This was a road specially chosen by Wang Sheng. Leaving the Thousand Absolute Land, ahead was the border of the Song Kingdom. Wang Sheng didn't want to go to Worry-Free City, didn't want to go to the capital. The Thousand Absolute Land was surrounded by the Eight Great Families, so he could only choose the Song Kingdom, which had the least hostility.

Even more suitable was that there was a river stretching for more than two hundred miles from the Thousand Absolute Land. Wang Sheng traveling by water would not only increase his speed a lot, but also save more effort. The area near the edge of the Thousand Absolute Land also had a small population. At least for these two hundred miles, Wang Sheng could bring A Qi into the Song Kingdom without anyone knowing.

Sitting on the boat, Wang Sheng controlled the direction of the motor, rapidly going against the current, and rushed out of a dense forest. The Thousand Absolute Land was quickly left behind by Wang Sheng's speedboat.
