Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 770: The Struggle (Part 1)

The speedboat was definitely much faster than Wang Sheng's walking speed, and even more stable, which was good for A'Qi's recovery.

Once out of the Perpetual Killing Land, the sensing range of the fighting consciousness little person decreased significantly, but Wang Sheng's own senses combined with the Seven Word Incantation were quite sharp. Without the cover of the Perpetual Killing Land's dense forest, Wang Sheng's vision, hearing, and smell greatly improved, and did not deteriorate due to the influence of the fighting consciousness little person.

Now, almost no one would linger on the edge of the Perpetual Killing Land. Basically, the masters of each major family now ride flying mounts to the Perpetual Killing Land, which is fast and convenient. Why bother trekking through the dense forest of the Perpetual Killing Land? After the various families publicly released their controlled flying mounts, they basically stopped hiding them and took them all out.

This also allowed Wang Sheng to leave the Perpetual Killing Land with ease. He went upstream along the river, directly deep into the Song family's territory for more than a hundred miles.

When he noticed signs of habitation ahead, Wang Sheng went ashore in advance, taking A'Qi away from the river unnoticed, avoiding the populated areas.

It was almost dusk. Wang Sheng and A'Qi rested for half a day. Late at night, Wang Sheng easily carried A'Qi through that small Song family town without anyone noticing.

Even in the Song family's territory, Wang Sheng was cautious, deliberately leaning towards the border between the Song and Dai families. When Wang Sheng and Song Yan were hunted down by the Dai family, Wang Sheng learned a lot about the terrain here, which now came in handy.

On the morning of the third day after coming out of the Perpetual Killing Land, A'Qi finally woke up. With Wang Sheng's continuous Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill and Seven Word Incantation nourishment, A'Qi finally managed to escape from the brink of death.

The moment A'Qi opened her eyes, Wang Sheng, who had been paying attention to A'Qi's physical condition, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that none of the people around him had lost their lives because of him. Although in Wang Sheng's heart, A'Qi's priority was definitely not as high as Lin Ling and Lin Xiu, Wang Sheng was still happy that A'Qi was alive.

After the second batch of thirty-seven legendary masters disappeared silently in the Perpetual Killing Land, the eight major families no longer sent people to hunt down Wang Sheng.

They were now too busy to find trouble with Wang Sheng. The royal family and the leaders of other small families and forces had all rushed to Ice River Lake. All parties set up their positions and began negotiations on the secrets of the core of the Perpetual Killing Land. Whether it was the twenty-four sealed predecessors or the things they guarded, it was all a matter of endless debate.

The arguing was one aspect, the purpose was to fight for benefits, which everyone could accept. Another purpose was that everyone was waiting for the water level of Ice River Lake to drop. In the past six or seven days, the water level in Ice River Lake had dropped by more than ten zhang, and with the shrinking of the lake surface, there was also an accelerating trend. In at most ten days, the lake bottom in the central area would be completely exposed.

The Emperor, protected by the three Grand Eunuchs, personally came to Ice River Lake. Another unexpected person was Mei'er, who also arrived at Ice River Lake under the protection of Tantai Yao and dozens of inner court beauties. Her intention was to fight for the benefits that the Grandmaster Orchestra and a group of Grandmasters who had a close relationship with Wang Sheng deserved.

Now everyone had reached a consensus that if they wanted to open the seal, they would probably have to rely on the tempering of the body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the breakthrough to the legendary realm. And those who knew Wang Sheng basically knew that Wang Sheng's promotion process was always longer than ordinary people, so it could not just be one master's promotion, at least two, and preferably three, which was the basic requirement. Of course, the more the better.

Relying on the masters of various parties to cultivate to the limit and then break through? That would take a long time. The existing legendary masters, except for a few, almost all broke through with the help of the Grandmaster Orchestra's performance. Asking the current legendary masters to guide those in the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm to break through? They didn't even figure out how they broke through properly, was that possible?

It was possible to ask Old Daoist Lingxu, but the old daoist and Wang Sheng were staunch allies, and had already said that he would return to the Lao Jun Temple to retreat, and could not be found.

So, the only way was to find the Grandmaster Orchestra. But the Grandmaster Orchestra also had an extraordinary relationship with Wang Sheng, and even went directly to the Changsheng Duke's Mansion when they announced that they were going to retreat to study music theory. If you want to invite them out of the mountain, there is no other way but to find Mei'er.

It was possible to find the Linglong Pavilion Master, but the corpses of the fifty or so Linglong Pavilion members actually explained a lot of things. The eight major families knew that the Linglong Pavilion Master actually had no possibility of commanding and mobilizing those music grandmasters.

Mei'er was representing them to talk, and also representing a group of artisan grandmasters. Without the environment of a large theater, wanting to advance by listening to music was wishful thinking. Therefore, this required a mini-small theater, which was impossible without the help of those artisan grandmasters and the two music formation grandmasters.

The high-level members of the eight major families were very helpless in the face of this situation. They desperately wanted Wang Sheng to die, but they could not do without the help of Wang Sheng's side.

Fortunately, under the leadership of the Song family, all parties calmly restrained themselves and reached a subtle tacit agreement with the forces of the Changsheng Duke's Mansion led by Mei'er. As long as Wang Sheng did not use the power of the capital, they would not suppress Mei'er and the others in the capital, and the two sides barely coexisted peacefully.

Now, the benefits of the calm restraint of all parties at the beginning have emerged, at least in these matters, everyone can talk. But it was still the same premise, as long as it did not involve Wang Sheng, everything else was easy to say.

Although Mei'er was very reluctant to do so, she herself was very clear that Wang Sheng's taking Lin Xiu away had touched the taboo of all the family forces in the world. The forces that have survived to this day, as long as they have a long history, almost all participated in the siege of the Lin family back then. Wang Sheng was opposing the entire world. This even included the royal family.

The royal family was also one of the beneficiaries of the past, but the cake that was divided was not as big as the five major families of Tang, Song, Shi, Dai, and Qiu, but it was under the name of the royal family and belonged to the second echelon like the Xia, Feng, and Gan families. The Emperor and Empress were Mei'er's biological parents. Faced with Wang Sheng's situation, Mei'er was also a little embarrassed.

If Mei'er was still the young shopkeeper of Baoqing Yutang, it would be simple, just deal with Wang Sheng directly, but now, she had to stand in this position under the influence of all parties and under Wang Sheng's instructions. To protect herself, but also to protect everything that Wang Sheng wanted her to protect.

“The Grandmaster Orchestra can help, and Lizhenfang can produce masters for advancement, and can also produce small theaters.” Mei'er completely released the charm of her Four-tailed Celestial Fox, and fought for benefits with the leaders of all parties: “What can our Lizhenfang get?”
