Dragon's Origin

Chapter 176: Song Yan's Reasons (Part 1)

Kill her own family members? This was the first time Wang Sheng had heard such an outrageous request. However, considering the ostracism Song Yan faced in her family and the constant dangers she encountered, Wang Sheng understood.

These experts were the pillars of the family, but they were loyal to the elders. It was because of them that the elders had their current power, and that the elders dared to plot against the direct daughter of the family head, not only ruining her chances of cultivation but even trying to take her life.

From the perspective of the Song family elders, Song Yan was initially a burden they wanted to get rid of as quickly as possible. Later, when they discovered Song Yan's relationship with Wang Sheng, she became a chess piece with exploitable value. As a result, various resources were directed towards her, allowing Song Yan to cultivate from the third realm to the peak of the fifth realm in just a few years. This support accounted for a significant portion of her progress.

From Song Yan's perspective, she was originally a favored daughter of heaven, the direct daughter of the Song family head, who should have been a flower in a greenhouse. However, because of her father's disappearance, she was schemed against by the family elders. It could be said that they were mortal enemies.

The elders didn't see Song Yan as an enemy because she was insignificant in their eyes. They could kill her if they wanted, release her if they wanted, exploit her if they wanted, and give her away if they wanted. Perhaps it was this attitude that angered Song Yan again, leading her to make such a request to Wang Sheng.

"Are you sure you won't be held accountable if you kill them?" Wang Sheng didn't want to be used as a tool for killing, not even by Song Yan.

Killing people was a minor issue. It might be difficult elsewhere, but in the Thousand Absolute Territory, Wang Sheng really had ten thousand ways to kill those people without leaving a trace. However, Wang Sheng and Song Yan weren't staying here forever. How would they explain it to the Song family after they left? All the experts died in accidents inside, and only Song Yan and Old Fish Song came out alive?

Song Yan pursed her lips, and the constant twitching of her mouth showed the struggle in her heart. She had considered Wang Sheng's question, but the fire in her heart couldn't be extinguished. She just wanted to kill these accomplices who bullied and plotted against her to vent her anger.

But what about after killing them? This question was very real and unavoidable. Wang Sheng wasn't afraid. As long as Wang Sheng went into Worry-Free City, not to mention the Song family couldn't touch him, other prominent families would be happy to protect Wang Sheng. But what about Song Yan? Would the dignified Song family's eldest daughter, the family head's direct daughter, be reduced to a traitor who killed family experts and was hunted down?

"I found a jar left by my father more than a decade ago," Song Yan thought for a while and decided to tell Wang Sheng the truth: "There are some words left for me inside. Maybe I can find my father's whereabouts based on this."

Song Yan's father disappeared very strangely back then. It wasn't just him who disappeared, but also a group of young experts from the family. They disappeared without a trace, and the Song family sent people to search in all directions, but they never saw this team. The only possibility was that they all entered the Thousand Absolute Territory at that time.

But why would Song Yan's father, as the family head, take the family's future foundation with him to venture into the Thousand Absolute Territory? What unknown secrets were hidden here? Now that more than ten years had passed, the matter had become a mystery.

The jar left for Song Yan might be the only clue. Song Yan accidentally discovered it herself during her seclusion, but she was the only one who knew about it. She hadn't revealed it to anyone. Now, in order to make Wang Sheng make a decision, she revealed this secret as well.

It could be said that Song Yan trusted Wang Sheng to this extent, and completely regarded Wang Sheng as one of her own. To let Wang Sheng kill the family's experts, it was clear that Wang Sheng was closer to her than those in the family.

"Are you saying that your father and the group of experts he took out are possibly still alive in the Thousand Absolute Territory?" Wang Sheng couldn't believe it. This drama was a bit too absurd, making Wang Sheng unable to figure it out.

Song Yan nodded very seriously. Wang Sheng looked at Song Yan's serious expression and really didn't want to say anything disappointing. He was afraid that saying the possible cruel facts would hurt this seemingly strong woman again. However, some things couldn't be transferred by Wang Sheng's or Song Yan's will.

Wang Sheng knew the dangers of the Thousand Absolute Territory better than anyone else. It wasn't something that could be conquered by numbers. The Song family's head took a group of young experts into the Thousand Absolute Territory, and they hadn't come out for more than ten years. This actually explained the problem.

"But the Song family has only had the Great Elder in charge so far, and they have never thought about establishing another family head. Don't you find it strange?" Song Yan immediately gave Wang Sheng a reason to refute.

This reason was really impossible to explain. It seemed that it could only be explained by the fact that the Great Elder in the Elder Council, either all of them, or some of them, probably knew some of the inside story, and there was even a great possibility that the Song family's head still had hope of surviving. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so afraid of the family head's position and wouldn't dare to usurp it.

But they dared to attack the family head's only daughter. This was inexplicable. Perhaps they wanted to use these methods to force the family head to show up? This was possible. Otherwise, the Song family didn't lack experts with high cultivation. They could have sent a fourth-realm death warrior to make Song Yan and Old Fish Song die without knowing why.

"Then your plan to change the target is also to go to the place you suspect and take a look?" Wang Sheng understood why Song Yan wanted to specify a target area. It was clear that she had planned it in advance.

Song Yan didn't deny it and directly nodded in agreement. Since she had already said so much to Wang Sheng, there was no need to hide any small details.

"It can be a little more stable," Wang Sheng pondered for a moment and decided to help Song Yan, but Song Yan was too radical, wanting to kill so many people right away. There was no need: "Let's detour to the place you said to take a look first. If you find any clues, it won't be too late to do it. If you can't find it, you won't be hunted down."

Song Yan also knew that what Wang Sheng said was the stable approach. After struggling for a while, she nodded, which was regarded as agreeing to Wang Sheng's method. However, she didn't forget to give Wang Sheng some bait: "You help me find that place. After confirming everything, I will tell you everything about the Phoenix."

It has to be said that Song Yan's move grasped Wang Sheng's weakness. Even if it was just to know the records of the Phoenix, Wang Sheng would try his best to help Song Yan find out everything.

"Okay!" Wang Sheng immediately agreed without saying anything. After working hard for so long, he finally got one step closer to the girl in his dream.

But Wang Sheng was also very curious. Song Yan's father took hundreds of young and middle-aged experts from the family away. Was there a place in the Thousand Absolute Territory where hundreds of people could live safely for more than ten years?
