Dragon's Origin

The following words were nothing of substance, merely Lu Wenhou promising Wang Sheng that he could seek help from Yu Baozhai whenever needed, guaranteeing that Yu Baozhai would definitely assist.

As for how Wang Sheng would escape those fifth-level masters and traverse the Thousand Absolutes Land, Lu Wenhou didn't mention a single word about these unpleasant topics.

In the end, just like at Baoqing Yu Tang, Wang Sheng sold a tusk of the Ferocious Tooth Boar and exchanged it for a batch of equivalent elixirs. Yu Baozhai's reputation was excellent in this regard. The healing and detoxification pills they provided last time were highly effective. Wang Sheng might not have made it here in the Thousand Absolutes Land without those pills.

At Yu Baozhai, Wang Sheng also requested something else: a map of Worry-Free City. To live here, quickly familiarizing oneself with the environment was essential. A map would allow Wang Sheng to get into the situation faster.

Of course, an address was indispensable. Yu Baozhai had prepared complete information about the background forces behind the troublemakers, their strength, where they gathered, and even what actions they might take, revealing everything to Wang Sheng.

Those troublemakers were also pitiful. They were originally testing Wang Sheng's true strength. Other forces had witnessed the results of the test, but none of them appreciated it. Here, Yu Baozhai unreservedly handed over all their intelligence to Wang Sheng, simply wanting to see what trump cards Wang Sheng still held based on their fate.

As if afraid that Wang Sheng wouldn't retaliate, the intelligence indicated that those guys were gathering at their stronghold tonight, planning to give Wang Sheng a hard time early tomorrow morning.

The people of Worry-Free City were friendly and welcoming, but that came with conditions. To someone unknown and unfamiliar, everyone would definitely be exceptionally amiable. But to those who were well-known and understood, those who knew their limits, they would never be soft when it came to oppression and occupation.

Those guys were a small force, usually relying on dominating the street where Wang Sheng lived and another street, living by bullying those weaker than them.

Today, Baldy and his two companions were threatened by Wang Sheng on the spot and didn't dare to act then. After returning, including their boss, the more they thought about it, the more afraid they became. If Wang Sheng really used their lives to exchange for the opportunity to bring experts into the Thousand Absolutes Land, they would definitely die without a burial place.

Since they had already offended Wang Sheng, they couldn't possibly be willing to live under the gaze of this ordinary person every day. Their boss decisively decided to take the initiative.

As long as they killed Wang Sheng, then there would be no possibility of anything in the future. Who would be willing to argue with a group of Worry-Free City's killers for a dead person? Moreover, that boss was also a ruthless character, with a fourth-level peak cultivation, who had once fought and killed a fifth-level master, and was a well-known fierce figure in Worry-Free City. When it came to that point, he had his own ways to protect his life.

In addition, their actions to further test Wang Sheng were also welcomed by various forces. The people of Worry-Free City may have been too frightened on a daily basis and rarely willing to trust others easily. Even if Wang Sheng had already revealed so much obvious evidence, they still hoped to personally see Wang Sheng take action before completely believing.

Originally, Wang Sheng wanted to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys. No matter how these people acted, Wang Sheng would use them to establish his authority. Now that they still wanted to take the initiative, then don't blame Wang Sheng for being ruthless.

Wang Sheng was very clear that in Worry-Free City, as long as he showed a little bit of being easy to talk to and bully, then what would immediately follow would not be a friendly face, but rather skinning, tendon-drawing, blood-sucking, and marrow-scraping.

After leaving Yu Baozhai, Wang Sheng began to stroll slowly along the main streets of Worry-Free City, guided by the map. While walking, he carefully observed what shops and businesses were on each street, what buildings and alleys there were, high points, suitable sniper positions, escape routes, etc., completely surveying the area before carrying out a mission.

Baldy's stronghold was in a warehouse of a shop. Their boss, like Wang Sheng, also ran a shop. In Worry-Free City, this seemed to be the norm for most people. Assassins didn't just go out and kill people all the time, especially assassins who had fled into Worry-Free City, who rarely left the city easily. Daily life in the city also needed to be maintained, so opening a shop became a normal choice.

The warehouse wasn't big, but it wasn't small either, about two hundred square meters, a bungalow. Half of the warehouse was goods, piled against the walls and edges. The middle part was empty, just the place where everyone lived.

Baldy's boss was called Ling Ba. Actually, he wasn't called Ling Ba before, he changed his name when he arrived in Worry-Free City. The others, including Baldy, were all younger brothers he had taken in after arriving in Worry-Free City.

Not everyone who fled to Worry-Free City had the financial resources to buy a residence. Most people were close to being penniless after fleeing to Worry-Free City. At this time, someone providing a place to stay would naturally be supported by others.

This was how Ling Ba gained the support of more than twenty subordinates. Of course, his fourth-level peak strength was the real attraction. Following Ling Ba, at least you didn't have to worry about being bullied by others, but instead, you could go out and bully others, with food and accommodation, why not?

The younger brothers needed a big brother like Ling Ba, and Ling Ba also needed younger brothers like Baldy. Ling Ba was just one person and couldn't be vigilant about his surroundings all the time, that would be exhausting. With his fourth-level peak cultivation, he could almost sense any cultivator below the fifth level passing within a hundred steps.

Almost everyone in Worry-Free City was an assassin, and everyone carried a faint murderous aura. If Ling Ba had to defend or preemptively strike every time he sensed one, Ling Ba would be exhausted to death. So he could only rely on his younger brothers to be vigilant, to avoid being taken advantage of. Only when his younger brothers were watching could he sleep peacefully.

Wang Sheng came outside the warehouse at nine o'clock when the sky turned dark. At this time, it was the time for cultivators to practice, there were fewer people coming and going, but not many people were sleeping, and they could react in time to any movement.

Ling Ba certainly felt Wang Sheng's passing, but he was in the middle of cultivation, and he didn't think that anyone would attack him at this time, especially Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng was only one person, how could he do such a moth-to-the-flame stupid thing?

Even the people responsible for monitoring Wang Sheng didn't expect it. They thought it was just Wang Sheng passing by on his way home, after all, it wasn't far away. But everyone thought that such an incredible thing that couldn't happen just happened.

Wang Sheng wasn't stupid enough to rush into a warehouse with twenty people and fight Ling Ba, Baldy, and others in close combat, that was courting death. In the information that Yu Baozhai's Lu Wenhou gave him, this warehouse had just stocked a batch of cooking oil and a batch of linen, all of which were flammable.

With a flick of his hand, Wang Sheng had an egg-sized ball in his hand. Under everyone's gaze, Wang Sheng threw the ball far away. The ball passed through the paper window of the warehouse and went directly into the warehouse.
