Dragon's Origin

Chapter 347: Preparing to Collect Debts (Part 1)

Before these two violent auras had subsided, another aura, relatively familiar to everyone, also erupted violently. The direction everyone sensed was clearly the inhuman beast that had been cultivating from the very beginning.

At this distance, even the most violent aura was just an aura, completely without any lethality, only shocking. Wang Sheng and the others had withstood the roars of experts at close range, so this aura was nothing.

However, people in the Yubaozhai camp in the Jue Di, those in the underground palace camp of Lao Jun Guan, and those in the Song family camp all noticed these four violent auras and sensed their direction.

Again within the core of the Jue Di, another unsettling aura. Before everyone could figure out the last super expert, four more violent auras appeared. What exactly was happening inside?

Countless people took action, and many had to leave their camps. Even if the cultivation opportunities in the camps were rare, this news was more important than their own cultivation and had to be reported to their families.

Compared to the chaos outside, the five people in the core of the Jue Di were relatively calm. Now everyone faced a problem: whether to continue investigating inside the Jue Di or turn back.

Wang Sheng’s experiment had proven that in the core area of the Jue Di, or even in the outer area near the core, if an expert at the peak of the Legendary Realm released their aura, it would trigger the awakening of a violent expert in a certain area within the core of the Jue Di.

Although for the time being, these violent experts could not break free from the restraints of those formations and could not move to the outer areas of the Jue Di, who knew if these formations could still restrain them once more violent experts awakened?

Decades ago, so many experts in Worry-Free City suffered heavy losses when they encountered a single humanoid beast. If a few of these violent experts got out, wouldn’t it be a disaster for the entire world?

This core of the Jue Di was truly a contradictory place. Those with low cultivation would die upon entering, and those with high cultivation would alarm the violent beasts. Once the violent beasts broke free from their restraints, it would also be certain death. In short, this area simply did not want anyone to enter.

“Let’s go out!” This time it wasn’t Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Ling Xu's intention, but the intention of the three royal bodyguards. They had also understood the great danger that might be contained within and finally decided not to take any more risks.

Not only were they going to retreat, but Wang Sheng would probably have to make a trip to Worry-Free City to warn the major families not to send experts at the peak of the Legendary Realm in.

The five people were not the kind to dawdle. Once they made a decision, they acted immediately. In order to escape this core area as soon as possible, Wang Sheng did not choose to retrace his steps. Instead, after identifying the direction, he went straight towards the edge of the Ice and Snow World, which was the closest.

Along the way, Steward Zhou did not forget to use formation stones to help survey the formations. Wang Sheng also led everyone to avoid several beast attacks. Twice, in order to prevent everyone from releasing their aura, Wang Sheng used the heavy sniper crossbow, resulting in the deaths of two beasts in the early stage of the Ninth Realm. This also indirectly verified the power of the heavy sniper crossbow.

Seeing the forest at the edge of the Ice and Snow World, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to see it meant it wasn't too far away, at most a dozen miles.

However, these dozen miles still took everyone half a day, as well as two more shots from Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow. Although there was a lot more meat from Eighth and Ninth Realm beasts in the storage ring, Wang Sheng would rather not encounter any beasts than slaughter them wantonly in this place.

Even exposing one's aura was a dangerous thing. Who knew what trouble such slaughter would cause? He would try not to take action if possible, otherwise the consequences would be endless.

With everyone's caution, they reached the edge of the Ice and Snow World. They each used some weapons to climb up the high ice layer and entered the forest. They didn't dare to stay long in the forest. After resting briefly and recovering some strength, they immediately rushed out. It wasn't until they completely left the core of the Jue Di and felt the completely different spiritual energy that they finally relaxed completely.

To avoid making an extra trip, Wang Sheng led everyone straight to the Yubaozhai camp. Of course, Old Daoist Ling Xu and the three old bodyguards did not show their faces. They stayed in the Jue Di forest all the time. Wang Sheng went to the Yubaozhai camp alone and warned the camp supervisor to notify Marquis Lu Wen to never let any experts who had reached the peak of the Legendary Realm enter the camp, otherwise it would attract more violent experts from the core area, leading to uncontrollable situations.

The camp supervisor was shocked and did not dare to neglect. He quickly wrote down the message and had a flying beast send it back to Worry-Free City. Although he had a bellyful of questions to ask Wang Sheng, he also knew that even if he asked, Wang Sheng would not answer.

Watching Wang Sheng leave, the camp supervisor thought for a while and added a few words to the letter he sent back. He suspected that the several violent auras this time were discovered after Wang Sheng took people in, otherwise Wang Sheng would not have known so much detail.

Anyone who could become a camp supervisor and be given important tasks was not simple. Just based on Wang Sheng's slightly detailed warning, the camp supervisor could guess so much, which was indeed a talent.

After warning the camp, Wang Sheng returned to the Jue Di forest and led the three old royal eunuchs straight to the capital. Along the way, it was still the same style as when they came: simple, crude, and direct. They didn't avoid the beasts, killing them if they encountered them, and considering it their luck if they didn't.

He still sent the three to the place where they had met last time. This place was only a step away from the edge of the Jue Di, so Wang Sheng didn't need to accompany them any further. Only then did the two sides separate.

The three old royal monsters definitely wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible to report to the Emperor. They didn't want people to know that they had entered the core of the Jue Di with Wang Sheng, so it was better for everyone to separate.

“Remember to help me sort out the information I want to see when you get back.” Wang Sheng did not forget to remind Chief Li of the reward for preventing snow blindness.

Chief Li nodded and said nothing. However, Steward Zhou asked another question: “What do you plan to do, Marquis?”

“Go to Worry-Free City to auction off the method of preventing snow blindness and make a small fortune first.” Wang Sheng said with a smile, “However, before that, I’ll go collect a debt first.”

“Collect a debt?” Old Eunuch Shen also became interested and asked with a smile, “Do you need help? The royal family still has a group of experts who are good at collecting debts.”

“No need!” Wang Sheng gestured with the action of holding the heavy sniper crossbow: “The last time the Dai family attacked me, it was said that the order was given by the Dai family’s Grand Elder. I originally planned to go collect the debt after I finished building the heavy sniper crossbow. Now I've let him live a lot of days, so it’s better to hurry up and collect the debt to be more at ease.”
