Dragon's Origin

Chapter 393: The Beginning of a Nation's End (Part 1)

All six law enforcement disciples from Triumph Palace were wiped out. What was even more terrifying was that they weren't all killed; at least three were left alive and captured, including the head of the law enforcement hall.

From the beginning, Wang Sheng knew that the people from Triumph Palace would take action. This was because Ah Qi had sent an urgent message from Worry-Free City from Sister Rose, revealing that a high-ranking official in Triumph Palace had inadvertently disclosed while drunk that Triumph Palace wanted to kill Wang Sheng as quickly as possible. At the same time, they wanted this official in Worry-Free City to enter the Thousand Absolutes Land as soon as possible to contact the Triumph Palace team, and to be wary of Wang Sheng's possible counterattack.

After receiving this news, Sister Rose pondered for only a short time before immediately and unhesitatingly siding with Wang Sheng. She quickly notified Ah Qi, even nearly fighting with the guards at the door who wouldn't let her in.

Ah Qi appeared in time to stop the fight and quickly sent the message to the capital via messenger bird. When Wang Sheng returned from the Emperor's house, he received the warning message from Ah Qi.

Everything that followed was a setup. The underground information broker was originally a secret agent of the royal family. To lure these guys into the trap, the royal family didn't hesitate to sacrifice this insignificant pawn.

The six people's whereabouts had long been closely monitored by Eunuch Shen. The head of the law enforcement hall thought that their tracking and eavesdropping would easily catch Wang Sheng, but little did they know that Wang Sheng's hearing was several times stronger than that disciple with good hearing. Not a single word of their conversation plan escaped Wang Sheng's ears.

More than a dozen grandmasters had already cooperated tacitly with Wang Sheng. While everyone was studying the construction of the grand theater, they were waiting for the action to begin.

These guys were too impatient, so they ignored many things. They had never really seen a grandmaster before, and only thought they were like ordinary musicians, just slightly cultivated beginners, completely ignoring the terrifying experts, sixteen at the very least, at the peak of the eighth level, and the strongest at the peak of the legendary realm. After all, they couldn't see anyone, only heard voices, and those grandmasters didn't release their aura, so they couldn't judge their cultivation at all.

As soon as they made a move, these six guys directly became a tragedy. They didn't even have a chance to escape before they were all cleanly and neatly taken down. Three became corpses, and three were captured alive.

"Lord Marquis is brilliant!" A sinister voice rang out from the door, and Eunuch Shen slowly walked over with a smile.

Facing one of the three great offerings of the royal family, those grandmasters didn't have a good expression. This guy looked too gloomy and didn't seem like a good person at all.

The head of the law enforcement hall on the ground was already in despair. If he had fallen into Wang Sheng's hands, maybe he could beg Wang Sheng for a quick death. But if he fell into the hands of this old eunuch, he could already imagine his end. He would be unable to live and unable to die, and perhaps death would be a happy thing.

"Hurry up, take them away, clean up this place!" Wang Sheng was also impatient. This old eunuch didn't help when he took action, but he was skilled at reaping the benefits. If it weren't for a bit of friendship before, Wang Sheng wouldn't want to deal with the royal offering.

Several royal experts quickly stepped forward and quickly carried away the three captured people and the other three corpses. Immediately, a dozen or so small eunuchs who looked like workers came in, quickly cleaned up the things here, and disappeared quickly.

Eunuch Shen saluted Wang Sheng and took his leave, not forgetting to close the courtyard door for Wang Sheng. From beginning to end, not many people were alarmed, and even the exquisite model of the grand theater in front of Wang Sheng was not damaged in the slightest.

The Emperor suddenly secretly summoned representatives of the eight major vassal states in the capital. The various parties didn't know the reason, but they still gave face and entered the palace to discuss matters.

"A vassal state has been disrespectful to me. Which one of you or several are willing to vent my anger?" The Emperor asked the representatives of the eight major vassal states, acting as if he was exasperated.

The representatives of several vassal states looked at each other and then smiled in unison. Did this puppet Emperor really think he was the Emperor and wanted to order the various families around?

"Whoever helps me vent my anger, I will reward the lord with the title of duke." Seeing everyone's attitude, the Emperor became somewhat exasperated and shouted at the representatives.

"Sorry, my lord is already a duke. Let's leave this opportunity to make merit to the other lords!" The representative of the Song Kingdom stood up without saying a word, ignored the Emperor's face, and turned to leave.

The Emperor's face turned pale. These people were simply ignoring the Emperor's authority. But the Emperor could only endure, he had no ability to restrain these lords at all.

Immediately afterwards, the representatives of the Dai, Gan, Shi, and Qiu families also stood up, smiled at the Emperor, and left without saying a word.

Only the representatives of three families remained: the Tang, Xia, and Feng families. The three people were not young and were very patient. Seeing the Emperor so angry that he couldn't speak, the elder of the Tang family smiled and asked the Emperor, "What grievances has the Emperor suffered? Please tell us, whether it works or not, let us know the details first."

At least three families remained, and their strength was not small, which gave the Emperor's plan a chance to succeed. The Emperor gestured, and Chief Li stepped forward and selectively told what happened in the capital.

The Triumph Kingdom sent people to attack Runzi Workshop, and Marquis Changsheng killed more than a hundred experts from the Triumph Kingdom in anger. Then, the Triumph Kingdom actually disregarded that the capital was where the Emperor was located and sent people to assassinate Marquis Changsheng. On the one hand, they attacked the Emperor's property, and on the other hand, they attacked the marquises in the capital, and all of them were unscrupulous within the capital, causing the royal family to lose face.

The families that left were all young and strong representatives who didn't take this Emperor seriously at all. The three families that remained were three experienced and prudent old men who would at least not completely ignore the Emperor on the surface.

The Tang family elder asked unhurriedly, "Then what does the Emperor want us to do to vent the Emperor's anger?"

The Emperor didn't speak, but his face was full of anger. Chief Li opened his mouth for the Emperor: "The Triumph Kingdom despises the Emperor, provokes trouble in the capital, there are witnesses and material evidence, it should be destroyed. Most of the experts of the Triumph Palace are in the Thousand Absolutes Land, and there are very few experts guarding the country. If you launch an attack, you will definitely be able to destroy the Triumph Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"If the Triumph Kingdom is destroyed, the three of you will be granted the title of duke, and the territory of the Triumph Kingdom will naturally be incorporated into your territory." The Emperor said, his eyes red, continuing Chief Li's words.

The three old foxes looked at each other and saw the meaning of excitement in each other's eyes. The elder of the Tang family was still calm and asked again, "I wonder what the Emperor wants?"

As expected, he was an old fox. Facing the three old foxes, the Emperor didn't hide his greed: "I want one-third of the output of the Triumph Kingdom's territory for the next ten years, converted into wealth and gold coins, give it to me in one lump sum."
