Dragon's Origin

Chapter 139: You Overthink Things (Part 1)

If the City Lord of Worry-Free City were here, or even the City Lord's steward, they would surely recognize that this old man was the very array master who crafted that pendant back then.

To think that someone could track down this array master and use him to trace Wang Sheng based on something from over a decade ago. It just goes to show that when the stakes are high enough, anything is possible.

The old array master never imagined that a piece he made over a decade ago could be dug up and sold for a good price. Especially when someone offered a hefty sum to have him track down the current owner of the pendant.

For the sake of the gold coins, the old array master reluctantly located Wang Sheng's whereabouts. The young man, who had hired him, along with a stealth tracking expert, observed the village for three full days. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he led a large group of men to surround the village.

All of this was for the secret of the Thousand Absolute Lands that Wang Sheng possessed. That Wang Sheng is truly cunning. Everyone thought he had fled far away, who would have known he was hiding in an inconspicuous little village in the outskirts of the capital?

But this is also good, no one would expect it, and no one would be able to share this secret. Those guys guarding around the Tiangong Workshop in the capital are all fools. Don't they know that Wang Sheng would change his appearance and become untraceable after opening that Two-Sided Exquisite Seal Box?

The young man was the one whose jade pendant shattered when the Exquisite Seal Box was opened. After discovering that Wang Sheng had opened the box and his men couldn't find Wang Sheng's whereabouts, he immediately made a decisive decision to find the array master who made the pendant back then. The result was surprisingly delightful, he really found him, and this array master actually had the means to find Wang Sheng.

Of course, this was also thanks to Wang Sheng still being active near the capital, occasionally leaving some faint traces. Otherwise, no matter how keen the array master's little beast's sense of smell was, it would not be possible to track down a scent from half a month ago.

The young man was thrilled at the thought of Wang Sheng and his secrets falling into his hands. The array master had already been bribed. If he could help capture Wang Sheng, he would receive a set of array diagrams that he had dreamed of. Only top-quality array diagrams could move such an array master.

The metal blocks in the hands of those black-clad subordinates were a binding array provided by the array master. Once the array was activated, the entire village would be enveloped, and even if earth-shattering changes occurred inside, the outside would not feel the slightest movement.

The array has already been activated, even if Wang Sheng has great abilities, it is impossible for him to escape from the village. At this time, the young man can carefully enjoy the pleasure of capturing Wang Sheng like a cat playing with a mouse.

However, Wang Sheng is not someone who will be captured without a fight. This can be seen from the fact that he would rather cross the Thousand Absolute Lands to escape to Worry-Free City. But so what? The young man has prepared a net, Wang Sheng will definitely have no way to go to heaven or earth, and he will not be able to leave this village. Where can he escape to?

In addition, the young man also brought more than a dozen experts, the worst of whom was also at the fourth level, and the strongest was at the sixth level. So many people dealing with Wang Sheng, a junior at the peak of the second level, is enough to suppress him completely.

Now I just hope that Wang Sheng knows what's good for him, otherwise, the young man doesn't mind letting Wang Sheng suffer a little, and then have a “friendly” talk with him.

The four people who were eating stopped. To be precise, three people stopped, Wang Sheng, the old Taoist, and Master Lu all stopped their movements, the little teacher was still eating regardless, he had not yet undergone Yuan Soul Enlightenment, and could not feel the surrounding anomalies at all.

Feeling the powerful aura deliberately revealed around him, and looking at the figures of the men in black slowly approaching, Wang Sheng suddenly didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Surprised? Wang Sheng was not surprised at all. Countless people have been trying to find out his whereabouts, wanting the secrets he possesses. Now that someone has come to his door, it is really not surprising at all, it is too normal.

Hiding so well, but being found, unexpected? Not unexpected at all. Although the blacksmith old man said that the array on the pendant had been changed by one of their old buddies, Wang Sheng still believed that there was more than one way to track him.

It's not that Wang Sheng lacks confidence in the old buddy the blacksmith old man mentioned, even Ah Qi can catch up with him through some unknown method, these array masters are even more mysterious and unpredictable.

As long as he uses the pendant, someone will come to his door sooner or later, Wang Sheng knew that there would be such a day. But what Wang Sheng didn't expect was that they could have looked anywhere, the place where Wang Sheng bought things in the suburbs of Beijing, on the road, or even the confluence of the three rivers, why here? In this small village? Wang Sheng didn't know how to describe the luck of these people.

In addition, they came to the door today. Not sooner, not later, but today, how tragic is this?

If they had come a few days earlier, Master Lu wouldn't have arrived here yet, and there would only be Lingxu Old Taoist here at most, it would be the same after today. Although the ending would not change much, at least looking at the old Taoist alone, he could be a little happier. But now, these poor people will only be left with crying later.

“Are we disturbing your meal?” The young man and the old array master slowly walked to a place not far from Wang Sheng's dining table. The young man even took his time to show his elegance and demeanor, and smiled at the four people who had stopped and were looking at them.

“Looking for me?” Wang Sheng asked a very idiotic question as if pretending not to understand.

The young man maintained a kind smile and nodded at Wang Sheng and the others.

“Because of this pendant?” Wang Sheng pointed to the pendant on his chest and asked another question.

The young man remained silent, smiling and nodding again.

Wang Sheng turned his gaze to Master Lu. The blacksmith old man had said that his friend had solved the array on this pendant, but now they have come to his door, does this indicate that the friend is unreliable? This was Wang Sheng's intention.

Master Lu was seen by Wang Sheng's eyes, wanting to argue a little, but he didn't know what to say, he was not good at arrays either, so he could only apologize for that old friend: “That, I'll go back and ask him what's going on.”

The young man didn't seem to mind Wang Sheng and Master Lu's exchange, he just stood there smiling and silently watching, without saying a word or making a move.

“Well, you guys chat slowly, there should be nothing for me here, right?” Lingxu Old Taoist suddenly opened his mouth, smiling at the young man, his performance was clearly a coward who wanted to stay out of the matter after discovering that something was happening: “I'll excuse myself first, you guys chat slowly.”

After speaking, he stood up, turned around and left.
