Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Several days later, the two members of the Wen family returned to Changhe County and, as agreed, recounted the details and requested punishment.

The Wen family patriarch did not actually punish the two severely. Instead, he comforted them and bestowed favors upon them to win their hearts. However, he never expected this.

The two men he regarded as the Wen family's quick-fire knives not only failed to complete their mission, but also became their people, harboring ill intentions towards the Wen family.

Wen Hua and Wen Rong went into hiding in the Wen family, becoming two spies planted by Meng Zhao in the Wen family, and continuously transmitting secret information about the Wen family.

Almost simultaneously, Meng Zhao, along with a group of his men, disappeared from Xiaohan Village, leaving only some elderly and weak people who had never practiced martial arts to guard the increasingly prosperous and magnificent village. He himself completely vanished from the open martial arts world.

As for the White Dragon Venerable Society, having acquired Yan Congke, a top expert, they began to fully prepare for the assassination.

However, the other dragon leaders, having heard the details of Meng Zhao's situation from the six dragon leaders, also developed a sense of apprehension.

After all, Meng Zhao's performance was too astonishing. His martial arts skills were outstanding, and his unfathomable foundation made him awe-inspiring.

Moreover, Meng Zhao is ambitious and has no intention of joining the White Dragon Venerable Society or merging the two organizations, which makes them even more resentful of him.

Some even plotted to secretly inform the Wen family patriarch about the two Wen family members' defection to Meng Zhao, thus ruining Meng Zhao's plans.

However, this idea was rejected by the Great Dragon Head.

His idea was also very realistic. Since Meng Zhao handled this matter in front of the Six Dragon Heads, he must have had the intention of testing and probing.

If the two members of the Wen family are exposed, Meng Zhao will be able to confirm that it was their White Dragon Lord who was secretly plotting against them.

For a behemoth like the White Dragon Sovereign Society, angering someone with unparalleled martial arts skills and the protection of extraordinary forces behind the scenes would not be a good thing.

The other party can also retaliate against them.

As for the existence of the two Wen family members, the Great Dragon Head had already seen it clearly. Their importance to Meng Zhao was not as great as he had imagined, and they could even be used as pawns to be discarded at any time.

Therefore, they decided to put the matter aside for the time being and first form a de facto alliance with Meng Zhao.

As for the future, we'll talk about that later.

Time flies, and three months have passed quickly.

A rumor spread like wildfire throughout the land: the White Dragon Lord, along with seventy-two warriors, fought against the royal guards and attempted to assassinate the current Emperor Tianyuan. They nearly succeeded, but unfortunately, an old monster emerged from the royal family. This monster possessed unparalleled divine skills, having cultivated thirty-three strands of Imperial Dragon True Qi, dominating the world. He killed half of the warriors on the spot and severely injured the White Dragon Lord's leader, causing him to vomit blood and flee without a trace.

Immediately, Emperor Tianyuan ordered all factions and the imperial court to annihilate the White Dragon Sovereign Society. In an instant, chaos erupted and the world was in turmoil.

Because of a single imperial decree, countless families were destroyed and lives were lost, and the rise and fall of powerful forces were also affected.

Government officials then began to levy exorbitant taxes, distort facts, and persecute loyal and virtuous people. Even ordinary citizens could be easily smuggled into the White Dragon Society's camp under any pretext.

As a result, the order within the Tianyuan Dynasty was thrown into chaos, and many people, unwilling to be oppressed by the court, endured it to the end and rebelled in anger.

In an instant, countless rebellious forces emerged across the land. Even if they were quickly suppressed, another rebellious force would spring up in the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of the imperial court, traitors and rebels were like leeks that could never be eradicated.

The imperial court's power suffered a severe blow as a result.

At this moment, on an unnamed mountain in Hebei Province, inside the Xuanzhen Taoist Temple.

Meng Zhao, dressed in a Taoist robe and looking like a Taoist priest, poured water for Yan Congke, who had come from afar and was weary from his journey. Beside him was Duan Hong, dressed in fine clothes, looking like a wealthy landowner.

Yan Congke was dressed in black, with a broken sword at his side. Although he was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar, his aura was extremely sharp. As far as the eye could see, it seemed as if countless long swords were pointing at him, with endless sharpness.

"So, you did accomplish something, and Emperor Tianyuan wasn't completely unharmed?"

At this moment, while the three were enjoying tea, they discussed the assassination attempt led by the White Dragon Venerable and the Great Dragon Head.

Meng Zhao was composed and unhurried, showing no regret that the assassination attempt had not been fully successful. On the contrary, he had not expected that the White Dragon Lord's Great Dragon Head had almost succeeded. Even if he hadn't succeeded, he would have certainly seriously injured the Heavenly Emperor.

This shows that his plan was indeed feasible, and the whole thing was not just wishful thinking.

Furthermore, the Great Dragon Leader of the White Dragon Sovereign Society is so shrewd that he has calculated everything about the Tianyuan Royal Family's defenses. This suggests that someone within the Royal Family must be secretly colluding with the White Dragon Sovereign Society.

This was not a baseless conjecture by Meng Zhao; on the contrary, it was a very credible inference.

If it weren't for someone within the royal family tipping off the White Dragon Lord and the Great Dragon Head, informing him of all the patrol experts and various defense routes, even if he were Zhuge Liang alive, he couldn't have arranged things so appropriately without knowing anything about them.

How many people, how many imperial guards, how to break through the defenses of the Dragon Guard secret agents? Who are the vanguard? It's not something that can be done in a short time or by strength alone. It requires meticulous planning and strategizing.

For example, the guards in a certain area are led by a top-tier imperial guard, but the Grand Dragon Head sends a second-rate martial artist as the vanguard in an attempt to break through the defensive perimeter, which is simply sending them to their doom.

Therefore, it would have been impossible without an inside traitor working in his favor.

The only thing I didn't expect was that the royal family had an old monster whose martial arts skills were so high that he was probably not far off from being the best in the world.

I wonder who is more powerful, the current number one master in the world, Shi Luohan, or this old man.

As for Meng Zhao, he has no intention of competing for the title of the best in the world for the time being, and it is unknown whether he has the strength to be the best in the world.

"That's right, the White Dragon Venerable's Great Dragon Head's move, Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl, struck Emperor Tianyuan with his palm force halfway through the attack. It was absolutely true, we all saw it clearly."

"If it weren't for the intervention of a top-tier ancient monster from the royal family, we might have truly accomplished something rarely seen in history that day."

Assassinating the king is one of the most difficult things to do. The royal family is wealthy and powerful, and their sons and grandsons are protected by countless experts in secret.

Like the current emperor, he must be surrounded by a multitude of stars.

If Emperor Tianyuan hadn't come out of the palace to go to the Summer Palace, this calamity would never have happened.

Duan Hong then spoke up and asked.
"With your current swordsmanship skills, you can be said to be among the best in the world. Is that old monster from the royal family really that terrifying?"

He had cultivated for many years, and with Meng Zhao's care, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the world.

He knew he was no match for Yan Congke in swordsmanship, but his internal strength far surpassed Yan's.

The two fought to the death, with an 80/20 chance: he had 80% and Yan Congke had 20%.

This is already Yan Congke's record after his swordsmanship was further refined.

If it were Yan Congke, who hadn't undergone a complete transformation with Meng Zhao's three sword techniques, he would have been doomed. (End of Chapter)
