Dragon's Origin

After giving the order, Clan Chief Shi's first action was to immediately pry open the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box that had been damaged by his jade pendant. If the corrosive liquid inside wasn't completely gone, there might still be a part of the treasure map left, even if it was just half!

Perhaps heaven truly had eyes, because when Clan Chief Shi broke open the damaged Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box, he indeed discovered a corner of the remaining treasure map. Although only a small corner was left, it was still something, wasn't it?

But when he examined it closely, his heart sank. It was indeed a fragment of the beast hide scroll, but only a tiny piece remained.

Recalling the black-clothed man's smile as he died, Clan Chief Shi felt both anger and despair. He was angry that he had been completely played, and despaired that the treasure map was truly destroyed. Even if they caught the escaped kid, there was no hope of getting it back.

However, this matter was said by the black-clothed man in public. Perhaps they could use this to cause trouble for the Exquisite Pavilion and make them bear part of the loss.

Wang Sheng, who was currently fleeing, had no idea that he had taken the blame for a huge mess. This mess was even bigger and more troublesome than becoming Song Yan's fiancé.

Although the Shi family's four branches were only in the border town of Linchuan City, they were no less ruthless than the Shi family's main branch when they went all out. Moreover, this matter directly alarmed the main branch, and the entire Shi family was mobilized.

In fact, it wasn't just the Shi family that was mobilized. The forces to which the black-clothed man belonged also had their eyes on the only person who escaped the scene. Not to mention that the Shi family directly took the destroyed Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box to the Exquisite Pavilion, demanding that they bear part of the loss. They also sent over a piece of linen that had been thrown into the corrosive liquid and only had one corner left.

The Exquisite Pavilion claimed that the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box could not be opened under any circumstances. Even the master craftsman who built it guaranteed it. As a result, the treasure map inside was replaced with a rag. Even for the sake of their reputation, the Exquisite Pavilion couldn't possibly stay out of this.

Wang Sheng's identity was almost discovered the second day. There was no way around it. His short hair, exposed when his headscarf was knocked off, was too eye-catching. It was as bright as a firefly in the night. He hadn't completely adopted the hairstyle of the natives of this world in just a few months.

This obvious feature almost immediately confirmed his identity when investigated. He was the murderer who killed Young Master Dai Huan and Dai Siye of the Dai family, a wanted criminal by both the Song and Dai families. Now, he also had to add the Shi family and the Exquisite Pavilion, and even the mysterious family of the black-clothed man.

Wang Sheng felt the unprecedented pressure almost the next day. He couldn't possibly escape too far in one night, definitely not as fast as a horse. Therefore, Wang Sheng only had one choice: to run into the mountains.

Only in the mountains and forests was Wang Sheng's domain. So that night, Wang Sheng went straight to the mountains.

The Shi family directly mobilized the entire family's strength to search frantically within a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as they saw someone suspicious, they would step forward to check their hair first. Under the strict inspection, even Wang Sheng couldn't possibly slip through the net as easily as last time.

If that was all, Wang Sheng wouldn't be driven to a dead end. The key problem still came down to cultivation.

According to the news from the Song and Dai families, Wang Sheng should have fused with an insignificant Yuan Soul, destined to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

This point could be proven by the enlightenment school in Shanglin City and several shops. Wang Sheng had used their Yuan Mirrors, and it was indeed an insignificant carp Yuan Soul, which couldn't be faked.

But according to the Shi family's disciples who had received Wang Sheng's treatment, it was completely different. Wang Sheng was obviously a small cultivator in the first level of the Qi Refining stage, there was absolutely no mistake. The feeling of spiritual Qi entering the body during massage was unmistakable, and at least thirty Shi family disciples could prove it.

When the news spread, almost the entire world was in an uproar. First, Wang Sheng had a divine weapon that could kill experts at the peak of the fourth level from miles away. Then, an insignificant Yuan Soul entered the first level of the Qi Refining stage. Either of these two things was enough to make many people's hearts flutter.

In addition, there was half of the Shi family's treasure map, treasured for hundreds of years, said to be the secret treasure of a once-powerful family hundreds of years ago. There were even rumors that Baoqing Yutang's snow sugar frost production method was also sold by Wang Sheng.

The family treasure was illusory and its authenticity was unknown, but the snow sugar frost had sold at least tens of thousands of gold coins in just three months, which was real wealth.

Whether seeking fame or fortune, whether seeking cultivation secrets or peerless divine weapons, it seemed that they could all be obtained from Wang Sheng.

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world were focused on Wang Sheng. The major families that had moved their minds even sent elite experts led by fifth-level Qi Refining stage masters to capture him.

Except for some people in the Dai family who wanted to kill Wang Sheng as soon as possible, all the other forces that were dispatched wanted to capture Wang Sheng alive and obtain all the secrets on him.

When the eyes of the whole world were attracted, even if Wang Sheng was covered in wings, it was impossible to fly out of such a huge dragnet. As soon as Wang Sheng showed his face, he would immediately attract swarms of pursuers.

Before the real experts appeared, at least eighty or one hundred people had died in the mountains while tracking Wang Sheng, but it still couldn't stop those greedy guys.

The more people who died chasing in front, the more it showed that they were tracking in the right direction, and it also helped them eliminate a possible competitor. When Wang Sheng fell down exhausted, it would be the moment when some lucky guy reaped the reward.

Wang Sheng was resting, drinking water and eating. In his storage ring, there were already more than thirty assassin tokens from Worry-Free City, at least four of which were silver, representing at least level three assassins. At the same time, there were also several decent-looking weapons in the storage ring.

At this moment, Wang Sheng was carrying a longbow slung across his back. This was the weapon of some tracker who almost killed Wang Sheng with an arrow. However, that guy made a mistake, thinking that he could kill Wang Sheng with a longbow from a few feet away. As a result, Wang Sheng blew his head off with a shot.

This longbow was very good. The bow back was made of some unknown material, with excellent elasticity and a range of 200 meters. It was now Wang Sheng's main ranged attack weapon. Most of the killing, including hunting, was done with this longbow. The meat he was eating was a rabbit he had just shot with an arrow.

Wang Sheng didn't understand why the Shi family was chasing him so urgently this time. He had only killed a Shi family playboy, why was it necessary? He had killed Dai Siye, the Dai family's foreign affairs representative, but he hadn't been chased so hard, right?

Wang Sheng didn't know everything that happened later in Linchuan City. During the chase, Wang Sheng had captured a few trackers alive, but those guys didn't know everything completely, and he never had the chance to get a complete confession, let alone know how badly he had been set up by the black-clothed man who wanted to drag someone down with him before he died.

While resting, Wang Sheng decided in his heart that he must capture a live one and ask carefully what happened, otherwise he would always be kept in the dark, and one day he would fail.

Being chased wasn't entirely without benefits. At least in terms of cultivation, Wang Sheng had gained a lot.

It must be said that strong pressure is a huge motivation for a guy like Wang Sheng with extremely strong psychological qualities. Ordinary people will collapse when the pressure reaches a certain point, but Wang Sheng will not. When the pressure is at its extreme, it will only rebound.

After half a month of almost breathless pursuit, Wang Sheng's Chiwen Yuan Soul had also been tempered to its limit. Just three hours ago, the Chiwen Yuan Soul swallowed the smallest boulder in one gulp.

The surging spiritual Qi was frantically absorbed by Wang Sheng, just like when Wang Sheng's carp Yuan Soul had just jumped over the dragon gate. That boulder was originally formed by the gathering of spiritual Qi. It was swallowed by the Chiwen Yuan Soul in one gulp and directly integrated into Wang Sheng's body.

Wang Sheng had already experienced the spiritual Qi nourishing and transforming his body once, so he was no stranger to it. With the help of the combat consciousness little man, he took the initiative to control the spiritual Qi to continue strengthening his eyes.

Wang Sheng had experienced the benefits of greatly increased vision more than once or twice. Now that he had this opportunity, wouldn't he maintain his advantage even more? Comparing cultivation and spiritual Qi, could Wang Sheng compare to those natives who had been cultivating since childhood until now?

After another two hours, Wang Sheng's spiritual Qi nourishment was completed. Just by moving his hands and feet, Wang Sheng knew that his physical fitness had improved again. Unfortunately, there was no way to do a lot of exercise to adapt now. Let's replenish some energy first and slowly get used to it in actual combat!

After eating and drinking his fill, Wang Sheng concealed all traces and disappeared silently into the dense forest.

With a snap, a pursuing expert accidentally stepped on a loosely placed stone, his foot slipped, and his figure staggered. Before he could completely balance his body, his ankle tightened, and his whole body was bounced into the air.

Bang, while the person was still in the air, he was punched in the chest. Then his shoulder hurt, and a sharp blade directly pierced into his shoulder socket, entering from the front and coming out from the back, pinning his entire body to the trunk of a large tree behind him.

His ankle was bound by a very flexible rattan, and the back of the rattan was connected to a curved tree trunk, which was pulling upwards with great force. His body was nailed to the tree with a long sword. Under that pulling force, the wound made him suffer so much that he screamed miserably.

Chih, another long sword, this time piercing through his still relatively free hand, nailing his hand to the tree as well. Now, this pursuing expert was head down, his ankle being pulled upwards, and his body was nailed to the tree trunk, which was terrible to look at.

"Who is chasing me? Why?" Wang Sheng's figure finally appeared in front of the controlled expert, holding the Tiger Tooth saber in his hand against the guy's neck, and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone cherishes their life, and trackers are even more so. This time Wang Sheng was lucky. Under Wang Sheng's questioning, this guy finally said the reason intermittently.

"Damn it!" After hearing the confession, Wang Sheng couldn't help but utter a curse. This was a real disaster! Who knew that the group of men in black had put this big blame on him.
