Dragon's Origin

The messages weren't just sent by experts from the Xia Country; other countries did the same, but on a smaller scale. However, the sporadic casualty numbers, when added up, were enough to shock those who knew the truth.

Suddenly, the Shanyue region, once considered a desolate land with no value, had become a high-quality territory teeming with experts, numerous domains, and a large population, comparable to a middle-to-upper-tier vassal state?

Several major vassal states exchanged information and were all taken aback. Baoqing Yu Tang had created such a big stir without anyone being prepared!

At this point, the Xia Country could no longer sit still. Last time, the news that an elder had participated in helping Baoqing Yu Tang transfer assets was revealed. Everyone thought it was a minor issue and didn't pay attention. The Xia Country casually provided a solution and brushed it off.

But now, everyone knew there must be something big going on. Baoqing Yu Tang's actions were not just a simple transfer of assets. With such a significant move, who would believe that the Xia Country knew nothing about it?

However, the Xia Country itself was in a difficult position, unable to voice its grievances. This time, taking advantage of Wang Sheng's entry into the Shanyue region, the Xia Country sent out over three hundred experts. Although not all of them were legendary realm experts, they were at least at the seventh or eighth level, with several legendary realm experts leading the team. Ordinary small tribes were no match for them.

The problem was that this assessment was based on the Xia family's understanding of the Shanyue region's barbarians from hundreds of years ago. The original plan was good: to use Baoqing Yu Tang's manpower and resources to pave the way for them, to clear the land, to use Wang Sheng to attract everyone's attention, and then the Xia Country's experts would seize several barbarian tribes as their base in the Shanyue region, gradually unifying the entire Shanyue.

The idea was good, the plan was really good, but unfortunately, they misjudged the strength of the barbarians and, more importantly, underestimated Baoqing Yu Tang's capabilities. More than three hundred elite disciples of the Xia Country were swallowed whole by the barbarian experts in the Shanyue region, leaving not even dregs behind.

Not long ago, the Qiu Country had just gone crazy because it had lost hundreds of its own experts, and now it was the Xia Country's turn. But Baoqing Yu Tang's previous actions were all done with the support of the Xia Country. As Wang Sheng said, it was unbelievable that an elder could stir up trouble in the Xia Country. From beginning to end, Baoqing Yu Tang succeeded in transferring to the safe Shanyue region with the help of the Xia Country.

Secretly controlling a nationwide chain of stores had immeasurable benefits for a vassal state. It was estimated that the Xia Country had already begun plotting this matter after the Yu Baozhai Tongxing City inauguration ceremony. It was likely that more than one vassal state was tempted at the time, but the Xia Country acted earlier, or rather, the Xia Country's geographical location was more suitable.

Although the Feng Country and the Tang Country also bordered the Shanyue region, the Tang Country was one of the five major families of the time, with super strong strength, and was obviously not Baoqing Yu Tang's cooperation target. Cooperating with the Tang Country would leave Baoqing Yu Tang with no choice but to be annexed.

The Feng Country and the Xia Country were of the same size, both smaller than the five major families. Unfortunately, the Feng Country's border with the Shanyue region was relatively short. If they really took the Feng Country route, it would be easily discovered, unlike the Xia Country, whose border with the Shanyue region was thousands of miles long. They could enter silently from anywhere without worrying about being discovered.

Zhu Xingsheng of Baoqing Yu Tang was not a fool, of course he would choose the Xia Country. Therefore, as soon as the Xia Country came to collude, they immediately hit it off and started a cooperation in which both sides harbored ulterior motives.

Obviously, now it seemed that the final result was that Baoqing Yu Tang had the upper hand. The Xia family not only personally cultivated Baoqing Yu Tang's power in the Shanyue region, but also escorted them in the early stages, even helping Baoqing Yu Tang to hide from everyone. When they felt that they could swallow Baoqing Yu Tang, this delicious prey, in one bite, they suddenly found that the prey had turned into a hunter and swallowed more than three hundred of their elite disciples in one bite.

The news of Wang Sheng's appearance in a city in the Tang Country spread throughout the countries again before the countries had time to feel sad. A'Qi's outfit was too recognizable. Wherever he went, he would attract onlookers, and his reputation had long spread. Therefore, Wang Sheng, A'Qi, and the old Taoist were recognized as soon as they entered the city in the Tang Country.

Almost everyone who followed Wang Sheng into the Shanyue region was wiped out, but Wang Sheng and his companions came out swaggeringly, which made many people feel incomprehensible.

But as long as they thought of the Lingxu Old Taoist beside Wang Sheng, everyone was relieved. The reputation of the Lingxu Old Ancestor of the Old Lord Temple was absolutely convincing, at least he was a peak expert in the legendary realm. It was not a problem at all to enter and exit the Shanyue region freely.

However, even so, some people still felt uncomfortable and began to suspect that this was a scheme jointly created by Wang Sheng and Baoqing Yu Tang. Otherwise, why did Wang Sheng and his companions come out, but no one else who went in had any news? This was really too inexplicable, right?

Some people just couldn't stand seeing others doing well, especially when their own people were missing and Wang Sheng was swaggering around alive.

Although the rulers of various countries knew that this statement was a joke, what was the Shanyue region compared to the fact that Wang Sheng could come and go freely in the Thousand Absolute Land? However, this statement was still rampant in various countries, feeling that Wang Sheng was deliberately misleading them.

The various parties tacitly condoned this statement. In their opinion, as long as this kind of public opinion was formed, then the various parties could justifiably put pressure on Wang Sheng and make Wang Sheng give up his interests in all aspects. Even if Runzi Fang, Mengzhi Fang, and Qiansheng Yuan opened branches in various countries! That would be a lot of revenue, not hundreds of millions but tens of millions!

In the final analysis, it was all about interests.

Wang Sheng didn't know about these statements at all. After resting for a day in that small city in the Tang Country, the three of them left swaggeringly, and no one dared to follow them. No one knew Wang Sheng's exact location yet.

Unfortunately, Zhu Xingsheng of Baoqing Yu Tang didn't know the tacit plans of the various parties. The informants he had buried in various places couldn't reach the level of the rulers of the major vassal states, let alone know their thoughts.

After completely eliminating the experts from various countries who invaded the Shanyue region, Zhu Xingsheng's representative appeared in the capital in a grand manner and released the news.

Zhu Xingsheng was going to establish the Shanyue Kingdom, and the representative of the Shanyue Kingdom would also pay a visit to the Emperor and ask the Emperor to confer the title. The old owner of Baoqing Yu Tang finally revealed his fangs at this time.

The first thing was to establish a country, and the second thing was to offer a reward for Wang Sheng's head, at the cost of five flying mounts.
