Dragon's Origin

Chapter 439 He is a Real Red-Card Killer (Part 2)

Did Uncle Li dare to chase? Of course not! Wang Sheng's move of triggering the formation from so far away was a risk he simply couldn't take. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Sheng and the steward walked out of the doorway.

In fact, for fear of Wang Sheng misunderstanding, Uncle Li stood still, not daring to move. He listened to Wang Sheng and the steward walk out of the doorway, into the stepped tunnel, up and down, and then out of the outer formation, before hurriedly and recklessly activating the entire tunnel's formation.

Only then did Uncle Li breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the formation that had originally been his pride and joy, sealing off the armory, his heart was filled with indescribable feelings. There was self-blame, regret, but mostly anger.

Wang Sheng had brazenly contradicted him in front of the city lord's steward, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face dozens of times, devaluing his most prized possession to nothing. Yet Uncle Li couldn't refute him at all, and could only watch Wang Sheng wreak havoc and leave.

Could Uncle Li tolerate such humiliation? If it were someone with a fiery temper, they would have immediately chased after Wang Sheng and killed him no matter where he was.

However, Uncle Li was no ordinary person. An old monster who had lived for over a hundred years, perhaps even longer, he had plenty of patience. Since Wang Sheng dared to say that when he left, it meant he must have been confident of victory. Uncle Li couldn't possibly abandon the armory to chase after Wang Sheng immediately; it was his duty.

After leaving the small courtyard, the couple inside didn't even glance at Wang Sheng and the steward, allowing them to leave the street as if nothing had happened.

Only now did the steward's breathing return to normal. He looked at Wang Sheng with a face full of admiration. He couldn't help but admire him. Over the years, he had personally led no less than eighty or a hundred people into the armory. None of them had ever been able to remain so calm in the face of Uncle Li. The only exception was Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng's calmness was beyond description. From Uncle Li's perspective, Wang Sheng was simply lawless. If an ordinary red-card killer had acted like that, Uncle Li would have killed him countless times already. Yet Wang Sheng had brazenly slapped him in the face and swaggered out.

There was a moment inside when the steward was truly afraid, not that something might happen to Wang Sheng, but that Uncle Li would become enraged out of embarrassment and kill him to silence him. Fortunately, it didn't come to that, and the steward followed Wang Sheng out unharmed.

Even now, the steward's clothes inside were still wet. After taking a few steadying breaths, the steward gave Wang Sheng a thumbs up, but immediately shook his head and said, "Brother, although what you did was satisfying, you've made a mortal enemy of Uncle Li. Take my advice and leave Worry-Free City for a while! I'm afraid Uncle Li will come looking for you as soon as he finishes with the armory."

Listening to advice leads to a full stomach. Wang Sheng certainly wouldn't be arrogant enough to disregard an old monster like Uncle Li. If Uncle Li hadn't been pressing him so hard, Wang Sheng would have just obediently taken the techniques, read them, and left. The steward was right, so Wang Sheng immediately thanked him and went back to make arrangements.

As for the steward, of course he had to hurry back to the city lord's mansion to report the matter to the city lord! Such a big thing had happened in the armory; it would be a dereliction of duty not to report it to the city lord.

Less than fifteen minutes after the steward returned to the city lord's mansion, dozens of special red-card killers from the city lord's mansion poured out, taking different routes to the small courtyard. Another fifteen minutes later, Uncle Li had already arrived at the city lord's mansion.

"Who is that kid?" Uncle Li entered the city lord's mansion and faced the young, almost too young, new city lord in the guest hall. His face showed no joy or sorrow as he coldly asked.

"He is Worry-Free City's youngest red-card killer, Lone Wolf!" The young city lord's voice was clear and melodious, also without joy or sorrow, as he calmly and naturally said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, after learning about it, I'm sure you must have misunderstood something."

"Isn't he the red-card killer who only managed to accumulate enough points by killing hundreds or thousands of people?" Uncle Li had actually calmed down by now. He found a place to sit down on his own and asked the city lord.

"That's not wrong." The city lord gestured, and the steward personally brought tea to Uncle Li. After watching Uncle Li calmly pick up the tea and drink it, he said, "That's about the number, probably around a thousand people. Except for less than a tenth of them who were weaker than him, the rest were all stronger than Lone Wolf."

"He killed at least nine hundred people stronger than him?" This time, Uncle Li was no longer so calm. How was that possible? Uncle Li had killed many people, but most of them were weaker than him. He wasn't like Wang Sheng, who killed only those stronger than him. In comparison, that was real skill.

"Lone Wolf only emerged in recent years." The city lord nodded and said, "Almost every person he killed has a record. Steward, tell Uncle Li about it."

"Yes!" The steward had been serving by the side all along. He took over the conversation and said, "Lone Wolf first entered the Thousand Serenity Ground because he was being hunted down by various families at the same time. He was in the Unranked realm when he entered Worry-Free City. He was chased all the way into the Thousand Serenity Ground, where he killed over three hundred experts from various families, including a dozen Fifth Stage experts, and the rest were Fourth Stage and Third Stage, the weakest being Third Stage."

"Why was he being hunted down by various families?" Uncle Li became interested, curious as to why an Unranked kid would be hunted down by various families.

"First, he killed the Dai family's young master, Dai Huan, and over a dozen guards. Later, he killed the Dai family's external affairs elder, Dai Laosi. At that time, everyone tacitly restrained Fifth Stage experts from showing off outside, so the Fourth Stage Dai Laosi was already very powerful." The steward quickly replied, "Later, he killed a collateral descendant of the Shi family, and rumors spread that he had mastered the secret of upgrading the Origin Soul, so he was hunted down by various families."

"After coming to Worry-Free City, has he killed any other big shots?" Uncle Li was truly shocked. It was no fluke or luck that an Unranked youngster could kill so many experts. "He can't become a red-card killer just by relying on those things."

"When he was in the Second Stage, he killed the Dai family's Seventh Stage elder, Dai Wuji. Later, he killed dozens of Eighth Stage and Ninth Stage experts from the Dai family, and even killed the Dai family's Grand Elder." The steward seemed to have a vivid memory of Wang Sheng's history. As soon as the question was asked, he immediately replied, "Hundreds of Seventh Stage, Eighth Stage, and Ninth Stage experts from the Triumph Palace were all assassinated by him overnight. Because of Lone Wolf, a hidden sect has been destroyed, the Triumph Kingdom has been destroyed, and no one knows how many Legendary Realm experts who died in the core area of the Thousand Serenity Ground should be counted on Lone Wolf's head."

"Hiss!" Uncle Li immediately gasped, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
