Dragon's Origin

Chapter 345 Continued (Part 1)

The five people were careful, retreating the same way they came. For safety's sake, they retreated along the original path until they were five miles away before daring to speak.

"That expert isn't human?" Wang Sheng was the most surprised, the first to exclaim after retreating.

The three royal honored ones had also witnessed the power of that peerless expert. Although they didn't exchange any blows or clash, the aura of that expert's cultivation alone made them feel suppressed and unable to raise their heads. If they really fought, there would only be one outcome: death.

However, the three honored ones were not surprised by Ling Xu Old Daoist's judgment, as they seemed to have come to a similar conclusion.

"A demon beast disguised as a human?" Wang Sheng asked again when he saw that everyone was silent.

"It's not a disguise," Ling Xu Old Daoist shook his head very seriously: "If a demon beast's cultivation reaches the peak of the legendary realm, it can cultivate into a human form and then begin to cultivate according to our human cultivation methods."

Isn't this becoming essence? Wang Sheng was shocked. Does this world have such a mystical thing? But thinking about how this world already has Yuán hún (a soul-like entity), it's not surprising that there's anything outrageous.

"I saw one a few decades ago." Since the topic was brought up, the old Taoist priest simply opened up the conversation: "Inside Thousand Severed Land, less than twenty miles outside the city gate of Worry-Free City. At that time, Worry-Free City dispatched more than thirty red- card assassins and more than one hundred blue- card assassins, and in the end, less than twenty of us survived, each with injuries."

"I know who you are." As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Shen, the old eunuch, suddenly said to Ling Xu Old Daoist, his face unclear, but his tone was completely one of worship for a senior: "At that time, there were only three red- card assassins who survived, two of whom had disabilities, and only you, old man, were unscathed."

Not only Shen, the old eunuch, but Li chief and Zhou manager were both directly in awe. When facing Ling Xu Old Daoist, they no longer dared to have any arrogance from the imperial palace, completely placing themselves in the position of juniors.

Although the three had long heard that Wang Sheng's guard was a red- card assassin from decades ago, there were many red- card assassins in Worry-Free City, and it wasn't just one or two decades ago, but only three people who participated in this major event survived. The identity of the old Taoist priest was obvious.

Decades ago, the three royal old honored ones were just three insignificant eunuch experts. In front of this person, how many dared to act like seniors?

Wang Sheng revealed in his words that he seemed to have won this old red- card in a bet and got three opportunities to be a guard. This was simply extremely lucky! Wang Sheng could get such an opportunity? I'm really curious about what kind of bet the two sides made.

The three also felt that the expert's aura was a little abnormal. Logically speaking, such a strong expert shouldn't be like that. Now that the old Taoist priest said it wasn't human, it immediately made sense.

However, the old question was solved, and a new question came. What kind of person set up a formation that could imprison such an expert? I've only heard of demon beasts cultivating human techniques, but are there also people who cultivate human formations?

There were so many questions that everyone didn't know how to investigate. Go in and fight that terrifying demon beast expert? Just kidding, the group came to investigate, not to fight. If they really fought, at least three of the five people would have to stay behind. Those who could definitely leave must be Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest, and the reason doesn't need to be explained.

"The expert has also been seen, what to do next?" Wang Sheng asked: "Leave or stay?"

The old Taoist priest didn't speak. Now his identity is Wang Sheng's guard, just follow Wang Sheng. Instead, the three old eunuchs became the ones who could make decisions.

The three looked at each other and saw each other's intentions.

"We're already here!" Li chief sighed and said four words.

With these four words, Wang Sheng understood, let's continue to look, we're already here, it's a pity to waste the opportunity.

"Look at other places, or continue to look at this one here?" Wang Sheng asked again.

Everyone looked around at the vast white snowfield, and Li chief still opened his mouth: "Let's go to other places and take a look!"

"Take this, whoever has the deepest understanding of the formation, take it." Wang Sheng nodded, took out a formation stone from the storage ring and handed it over: "It can magnify the formation fluctuation by ten times."

The imperial family has formation experts, but those with high cultivation don't have it. Similarly, the talents in this area of Lao Jun Guan don't have very high cultivation. The reason is very simple, formations and alchemists are both extremely energy-consuming professions. Being proficient in one is already very remarkable. It is almost impossible to be proficient in both formations and alchemy while also having superb cultivation.

The same was true for Tang Lao Wu from the Tang family last time. He didn't study formations deeply, but only had a little knowledge, but it was enough to discover formation fluctuations.

The same is true for Zhou manager who took the formation stone. He knows some basic knowledge of formations and can rely on this formation stone to detect unfamiliar formation fluctuations. He doesn't need very superb formation cultivation.

"I've been here before, so I don't need this thing." Wang Sheng explained when he handed it out, and specially earnestly told him: "But if you want to go to unfamiliar places, you have to be careful about the formation at all times. The aura of the formation here is very hidden, so be careful."

Zhou manager took the formation stone and nodded heavily. Even if Wang Sheng didn't say it, he also knew the principle of being careful and cautious. How could he, who had fought in the imperial palace for decades and became one of the three honored ones, make such a careless mistake?

In small matters, the three also discovered another outstanding aspect of Wang Sheng that was admirable. As long as he has been here once, he will remember the terrain here and even the distribution of formations. This memory is simply amazing. It is no wonder that he can come and go freely in the Thousand Severed Land. It is not without reason.

The five-person team set off again, turning to another direction. This choice seemed to be made by the three royal honored ones, but in fact, it was all in Wang Sheng's control. Wang Sheng asked that question, would the three old eunuchs be willing to come in and take a look at that terrifying demon beast expert and then leave?

This time, they turned to an unfamiliar direction. No one knew what was ahead, but none of the five people had any fearful expressions. On the contrary, everyone was looking forward to it, seeming to firmly believe that they would definitely discover something.

The speed behind was much slower, because they had to check the fluctuations of the formation and didn't dare to walk fast. Whether it was the three honored ones or Ling Xu Old Daoist, they were very careful, ten thousand times more cautious than the group of newly promoted ninth-level realm experts when Wang Sheng came in last time. Why did those guys have casualties before they even saw the demon beast expert? In fact, a large part of the reason was that those guys were arrogant and not cautious enough.
