Dragon's Origin

“Of course they are not happy that their own territories are being occupied,” the shadow eunuch said with a hint of resentment. “However, haven't four families already disappeared? In broad daylight, they can't possibly seize those four, right?”

It was only after the shadow eunuch explained in detail that Wang Sheng understood. The four experts who had no descendants were directly eliminated on the spot by the joint forces of the various families. The valleys they originally guarded naturally became unclaimed territories. Since various parties were not yet willing to give up their own guarded valleys, those four valleys became the best gifts to appease those families and forces without expert guardians.

Each valley was used by thirty people at a time, for ten days each. People from small families and forces without the protection of their ancestors took turns cultivating in these four valleys.

From another perspective, the forces outside the eight great families actually occupied fourteen valleys, several more than the ten valleys of the eight great families. This was a benefit that everyone had fought for.

Of course, the forces with ancestors in charge were happy. Each family exclusively occupied a valley, some even two, which were most suitable for their own legendary experts to comprehend.

It hasn't even been a full month since the seal formation was lifted, but the families have already made their allocations, and the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land has inevitably become lively.

“What major movements are there among the families?” Wang Sheng understood the situation in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land and turned to inquire about the movements of the families.

“For the time being, it seems calm,” the shadow eunuch knew what Wang Sheng was asking and explained to him, “When the ancestors of the families were unsealed, it is said that the Grandmaster Orchestra helped a lot. They were able to consolidate their cultivation with the help of the Grandmaster Orchestra's performance, so during this time, almost all the ancestors of the families, except for a few who were stationed in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land, were in the capital, listening to the Grandmaster Orchestra's performance every day.”

“Listening every day?” Wang Sheng was unhappy as soon as he heard that. The grandmasters should perform when they want to perform. This is obviously using power to force the grandmasters to perform!

“They have promised countless benefits,” the shadow eunuch smiled as soon as he saw Wang Sheng's expression, knowing that Wang Sheng was unhappy. “Don't forget, there is also an ancestor stationed in the Changsheng Duke's Mansion, so they won't mess around. The biggest beneficiary during this period is Lizhen Workshop, which has issued hundreds of billions of gold tickets before and after. In addition, those grandmasters can choose a family's valley to cultivate for ten days at any time afterward, which is a huge profit.”

“The Changsheng Duke's Mansion has an ancestor stationed?” This was the first time Wang Sheng had heard of this. Looking at the shadow eunuch, Wang Sheng didn't know what to say. When was the Changsheng Duke's Mansion established? An ancestor from five hundred years ago in the Changsheng Duke's Mansion? Who would believe that?

“A female senior from the Triumph Palace,” the shadow eunuch shook his head and said, “Princess Mei'er is really blessed. Suddenly, a great god is stationed in the mansion, so she doesn't have to worry anymore.”

“Mei'er's achievements today are thanks to you, Eunuch!” Wang Sheng cupped his hands to the shadow eunuch to thank him. If the shadow eunuch hadn't taken Mei'er out of the palace back then, where would Mei'er's life be now?

The shadow eunuch repeatedly declined, but the smile on his face was truly smug. Back then, he took the risk and rescued the Empress and Princess Mei'er at the risk of his life. Now, he finally has his reward. As long as he is willing, he can return to the capital at any time to take up the position of chief eunuch.

However, in the current situation, the shadow eunuch can access more secrets in Worry-Free City, so he temporarily put out this idea. Anyway, the shadow eunuch can also be at ease in Worry-Free City, so let's continue like this for now.

“Didn't the families look for me in a big way?” Wang Sheng continued to ask.

“They did!” the shadow eunuch replied with a smile. “How could they not? What do you think they were doing listening to the grandmasters' performance in the capital for? Were they afraid that their cultivation was not consolidated enough? Aren't they afraid that the expert from the Lin family will come to their door? As soon as they discover movement in the air, even Worry-Free City becomes nervous. Doesn't that explain anything?”

“The Dai family doesn't know what secret loss they suffered, but they have been making trouble,” the shadow eunuch saw that Wang Sheng was not surprised and knew that he must have been mentally prepared, so he just told him what had happened recently, “They used to look for you in a very big way for a while, but later they died down. But recently, they have been targeting the Song family.”

“Targeting the Song family?” Wang Sheng asked a little puzzled, “The Song family also has an ancestor stationed, do they dare to provoke them? Or are they planning to fight to the death first?”

“The Dai family has sent out two ancestors this time,” the shadow eunuch drank a glass of wine, ate a bite of food, and slowly explained, “The Song family is unlucky this time. There seems to be something wrong with their ancestor's cultivation. They often lose their strength when they fight. They can't even beat one person in a one-on-one fight, let alone two-on-one. Now, the Song family may not even be able to catch up with the Xia family.”

Wang Sheng had heard Lin Xiu say that among the twenty-four experts, there were a few whose cultivation direction was somewhat extreme. The Song family was indeed unlucky to have encountered one.

In this way, the Song family, which originally had the largest number of experts among the great families, with strong strength, has now become the last because of the appearance of their ancestors. The world is unpredictable, as can be seen from this.

“What trouble are they looking for with the Song family?” Wang Sheng asked.

“Speaking of which, it's still related to you, Duke,” the shadow eunuch said slowly after clinking glasses with Wang Sheng and taking a drink, “They are now bringing up the old story of the Dai family's young master, Dai Huan, being killed, and demanding an explanation from the Song family.”

“I killed Dai Huan, what explanation does the Song family need to give?” Wang Sheng knew that this was just an excuse for the Dai family to make things difficult for the Song family, and sneered in disdain, asking the shadow eunuch again.

“It cannot be denied that Miss Song was also present when you killed Dai Huan back then,” the shadow eunuch shook his head. “Now that the Dai family is powerful, they are insisting on this point and demanding an explanation from the Song family.”

“Back then, the old Taoist and I killed the entire royal palace of the Dai family, why don't I see them looking for trouble with the old Taoist and me?” Wang Sheng continued to ask with a sneer.

“They did,” the shadow eunuch looked at Wang Sheng and said, “On the day the two Dai family ancestors arrived in the capital, they went to the Old Lord Temple. However, only one person took action, and Ancestor Lingxu was seriously injured. However, it seems that the Dai family ancestor who took action did not get much benefit either, and paid a price. Originally, they planned to directly destroy the Old Lord Temple, but Ancestor Lingxu's attack startled them. They didn't know what hidden methods the Old Lord Temple had not used, so they temporarily retreated and told the Old Lord Temple that both sides were even.”

“Then what kind of explanation do they want from the Song family?” Wang Sheng asked with a calm expression.

“They want Miss Song to marry Dai Xiao, the current head of the Dai family,” the shadow eunuch stared at Wang Sheng's eyes and answered very calmly.
