Dragon's Origin

Chapter 223: Meeting (Part 2)

In Worry-Free City, or rather, in the entire world, there are only three people who can enter that passage without following the dates set by Yu Baozhai and the Worry-Free City Lord. One is the Worry-Free City Lord, one is Marquis Lu Wen, and the last is Wang Sheng.

Because Baoqing Yu Tang hired Wang Sheng, they were also able to enjoy this honor. Fortunately, those jealous people outside also knew that the Baoqing Yu Tang people were definitely not going to the camp to cultivate, so they didn't jump out to provoke them.

From Wang Sheng's appearance to departure, Wang Sheng and the female owner didn't exchange a single glance, let alone talk. The female owner also seemed very reserved, as if she had turned into a lady who doesn't leave her house, not talking to men within a day. Wang Sheng would find Flying Fox for anything, never contacting the female owner, and not even contacting those shopkeepers he had dealt with before.

This attitude made Flying Fox very satisfied. He and the people he brought had actually been on guard, fearing that Wang Sheng would cause trouble. After all, Wang Sheng had business dealings with the female owner and could be considered to have some friendship. If Wang Sheng were to stand on the female owner's side, their plan would probably have more twists and turns.

A group of more than fifty people carefully walked on that passage, heading towards the camp. The passage had been cleaned again by the team that had passed by last time, making it even more like a road. Everyone walking on it dared not say they were swaggering, but compared to the cautiousness of people entering the Thousand Absolutes Land in the past, everyone was simply enjoying themselves now.

Wang Sheng led the way, seemingly unguarded as he walked forward. Then came two or three experts, followed by ordinary guards, then the female owner and those shopkeepers, and finally a few experts at the rear. The team spread out for almost fifty meters, advancing along the road unhurriedly.

After passing two temporary camps, in the dim jungle that no one noticed, several pairs of eyes stared at the passing team, letting them pass without making a sound.

The same experience happened at least three times without the people in the team knowing. These three groups of people didn't seem to know of each other's existence, just secretly following Baoqing Yu Tang's team.

In a few days, they arrived at the camp. Because the road was clear, there were basically no major incidents along the way. However, two shopkeepers with not-so-good cultivation were bitten by some small insects while resting on the roadside. But after Wang Sheng looked at it, he said it was nothing serious and they could continue marching after resting for a while.

Because Wang Sheng had behaved very normally before, no one noticed that one of the two bitten shopkeepers was the fat shopkeeper Wang Sheng knew in Shanglin City.

There must be something wrong with the fat shopkeeper, but when Wang Sheng secretly cast all the Nine Character Incantations on him, the fat shopkeeper's eyes almost burst into flames at that time. Fortunately, he kept his head down, as if looking at the place where he was bitten, so he wasn't discovered.

After this inspection, Wang Sheng was sure that the female owner and the fat shopkeeper had all been poisoned, but the poison hadn't taken effect yet. It was estimated that after everyone found the ruins, regardless of whether they found the divine pill or not, the female owner and the others would all die from the poison.

At that time, finding the divine pill would be the new owner's credit, and if they couldn't find it, they would kill the female owner and the others who were in the way. As for Wang Sheng, would they let him go?

Wang Sheng suddenly thought of a question. At this moment, no one is stupid enough to kill himself in the Thousand Absolutes Land, unless they are suicide soldiers. Is Baoqing Yu Tang not afraid that he will talk nonsense after going out? Or do they have other arrangements?

Wang Sheng didn't do anything else until they reached the camp. The people from Baoqing Yu Tang were also able to see the true face of the camp. For a moment, Wang Sheng saw that at least half of the team showed a covetous look towards this camp.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they coveted it, it was Yu Baozhai's property and wouldn't be given to Baoqing Yu Tang in the slightest. For Wang Sheng's sake, the camp allocated a piece of land for them to settle down as a whole, but not a single stone room around it was vacated for them.

No one in Baoqing Yu Tang cared about this. Everyone rested in the camp for a day, replenished food and water, and then embarked on the road to find the ruins again.

This time, after coming out of the camp, there was basically no road anymore. It was not until this time that Wang Sheng saw Baoqing Yu Tang's map. The moment Wang Sheng got the map, his heart was really shaken, but Wang Sheng still acted as if nothing had happened, quietly looking at the map and listening to Flying Fox's explanation.

The material of Baoqing Yu Tang's animal skin map was almost exactly the same as the map Wang Sheng saw in the Shi family that was locked in the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box, and even the strokes of the lines on it were similar. After a rough observation, Wang Sheng determined that the two maps were not together. But maybe they were drawn by the same person.

After observing without showing any signs, Wang Sheng roughly estimated the distance and direction in his heart. The straight-line distance was almost three hundred miles, but this was in the dense forest. If he encountered a powerful monster and had to dodge, he would probably have to take a longer detour. After confirming with Flying Fox whether to fight or bypass the monster, he unexpectedly got the conclusion to bypass it.

Flying Fox and the others would definitely not be willing to risk their lives for the female owner and the others. This was the Thousand Absolutes Land. If they really encountered a powerful monster, not to mention losing their lives, even getting injured would not be worth it.

Wang Sheng led the team forward with difficulty, and in the blink of an eye, several days passed. When it was almost evening, Wang Sheng found a suitable place to camp. A group of people began to set up camp neatly, and even those shopkeepers had become much more nimble after these days of training.

Setting up camp before it got dark was also something that couldn't be helped. Wang Sheng only discovered after spending a long time with the old Taoist on the mountain wall that in this Meta-Soul World, eight out of ten people with high cultivation levels had night blindness, even the old Taoist was no exception. They couldn't see anything at night, like blind people. Not setting up camp was just courting death.

Of course, Wang Sheng wouldn't have such a problem, nor would he reveal it. This kind of advantage might come in handy one day. Isn't it because of this reason that everyone has to set up camp now?

The temporary campsite was very suitable. If it wasn't a bit small and could only accommodate dozens of people, it would be comparable to Yu Baozhai's camp. Precisely because of this, Flying Fox and the others slept very peacefully after arranging the guards.

No one noticed that there were one or several small insects lurking around each person. Even those who were not sleepy were bitten by a certain insect and fell into a deep sleep. Those who were sleepy slept even more soundly.

In the entire camp, the only people who were not asleep were the female owner and Wang Sheng.
