Dragon's Origin

In plain terms, it's drawing a straight line from the center of the circle, passing through the location of the Peerless Treasure Trove, and extending directly outwards, which is the shortest path to the outside.

However, even though it was supposed to be a straight line, Wang Sheng still led the two others in a few small circles along the way, for no other reason than to avoid the demon beasts.

Previously, there were twelve people, about ten of whom were peak Legendary realm experts, but now there were only two ordinary eighth-level experts, so they naturally couldn't charge straight ahead as before and had to avoid them.

Fortunately, with fewer people, the target was also smaller. Wang Sheng discovered the demon beasts more promptly along the way. They only encountered three or four surprise attacks from demon beasts, and both experts suffered minor injuries. Wang Sheng even had to take action once to resolve the crisis for the three of them.

When the heavy sniper crossbow shot a demon beast, which the two eighth-level experts couldn't handle together, into pieces, the two experts realized that Wang Sheng had such a trump card.

It was fortunate that they didn't have any ulterior motives towards Wang Sheng at the time, otherwise Wang Sheng could have blasted them into pieces with just one arrow! Thinking that they had really entertained such thoughts, they were now covered in cold sweat at the recollection.

When the three of them finally saw the green of the forest at the edge of the ice and snow world, their tense hearts relaxed for the most part. At Wang Sheng's urging, the three of them sped up, exhausting their physical strength, and finally climbed up the ice cliff before dark and entered the forest.

Basically, having reached this point, they could be considered to have arrived at a safe place. Wang Sheng had absolute confidence in bringing the two of them back here, and in fact, that's what he did.

The group of three reappeared at Yu Baozhai's camp. After resting for a day, they immediately rushed back to Wuyou City.

The people from the Gan and Shi families in Wuyou City were waiting so anxiously that their hair was turning white. When they saw their clansmen and Wang Sheng appear, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But before they could get any news from their own people, Wang Sheng directly opened his mouth in front of everyone.

"Your people were unruly inside, and one of them is already dead. Ask your own clansmen for the specific details." Wang Sheng didn't care what these two families thought, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "If your two families don't provide an explanation for this, then there's no need for future cooperation."

After speaking, Wang Sheng went straight home without looking back, leaving the two families confused and clueless, not knowing what had happened. Fortunately, their own two disciples had returned with them, and they could find out what had happened from them, a blessing in disguise.

Wang Sheng's return caused a small-scale disturbance in the Thousand Desolation Land again. Everyone wanted to know about the experience of this trip to the core of the Thousand Desolation Land, and they were waiting for Wang Sheng to sell the details of this trip again. But they needed to wait, they needed to wait until the Gan and Shi families knew the detailed process from their own disciples before allowing Wang Sheng to say those things.

Soon, the two families learned what had happened when they arrived at the destination of the Peerless Treasure Trove. The person in charge of the Shi family in the Thousand Desolation Land did not dare to neglect it, and quickly sent the news back to the Shi Kingdom, waiting for the Marquis to decide. But as soon as the news was sent away, the person in charge cursed the guy who had been beheaded in Wuyou City.

Was he looking for death? Without Wang Sheng, how many demon beasts could they have dealt with along the way? They were only thinking about going in, didn't they think about how to get out? A bunch of pig brains, they had cultivated to the peak of the Legendary realm for nothing, they were indeed a bunch of fools who knew nothing but cultivation!

The Gan family was the same, but the person in charge here cursed even more fiercely.

"Idiots! Idiots! Idiots!" Three idiots in a row, the person in charge of the Gan family felt as if he couldn't express his anger, and added three more: "All of them are idiots! Idiots! Idiots!"

"You should have spoken up to stop that bastard from the Shi family when he jumped out! What a great opportunity!" The person in charge of the Gan family looked frustrated: "What a great opportunity to befriend Wang Sheng, it was ruined by you a bunch of fools! Use your pig brains to think carefully, how would you get out? Would the family send a large army to line up and enter the core of the Thousand Desolation Land to send you out to your deaths?"

"Such a great favor, just a word could have saved the family so much trouble?" The person in charge cursed and regretted: "If only I had gone in with them, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. Now it's good, without several times or dozens of times the price, do you think Wang Sheng will contribute even a bit of effort to the family again?"

At this time, the two experts who followed Wang Sheng back realized how big of a mistake they had made in the core of the Thousand Desolation Land. Wang Sheng must have anticipated that this kind of thing would happen, so he deliberately brought two survivors back to let them say how foolish they were.

The expert from the Gan family wished he could slap himself in the face dozens of times. Everyone at the time saw that they had arrived at the place, felt that Wang Sheng was useless, felt that there was a map along the way, and that they didn't have to worry about demon beasts because of their high cultivation, the danger was small, and they didn't need Wang Sheng. Only now did they realize how short-sighted and foolish the group of them were at the time.

On the way, the two people who followed Wang Sheng were still worried that Wang Sheng would turn around and mobilize the demon beasts in the core of the Thousand Desolation Land to wipe out their companions. Now it seemed that Wang Sheng would not do that at all, keeping those nine experts and keeping the Peerless Treasure Trove, the two families were like fish that had been hooked.

The higher-ups of the Shi and Gan families actually understood after the team set off. The reason why Wang Sheng helped the two families find the location of the Peerless Treasure Trove so carefully was that he was waiting here.

With the Peerless Treasure Trove as a tempting bait that they couldn't give up, Wang Sheng could slaughter the two families as he pleased. The two families were still smugly thinking that Wang Sheng's initiative to give up the Peerless Treasure Trove was knowing when to advance and when to retreat, but they never expected that they had voluntarily laid down on Wang Sheng's cutting board.

If it were in the past, Wang Sheng would probably ask the two families for a lot of gold coins, a lot of cultivation methods, and a lot of pills, and that would be it. But now Wang Sheng has changed the person to negotiate with, the woman in the Marquis's mansion in the capital, who is simply a person who plucks feathers from a passing goose and squeezes oil from a stubborn stone. In order to get Wang Sheng to go there once, she has already slimmed down the vast assets of the two families by at least 10%. If they ask Wang Sheng to go there again, especially under these circumstances, that woman would not scrape the two families clean.

The reactions from both sides were very fast. It only took the time for the messenger bird to go back and forth. The news was transmitted here, and the response from the other side was sent back almost immediately. Except for the time on the road, the two families' Marquises made almost the same decision without considering it. They immediately sent someone to meet Marquis Changsheng, first saying all the good things, apologizing non-stop, and piling up gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties, regardless of the cost.

But when the two families arrived at Wang Sheng's mansion in Wuyou City with a large amount of compensation, they were told by the guards that the Marquis had just left Wuyou City. After sending a lot of benefits, the guards finally revealed that the Marquis had received an invitation from Yu Baozhai as soon as he returned and had gone to Yu Baozhai.
