Wang Sheng had co in search of Zhu Xiao’s family elders, but he did not obtain the information he most wanted to know—what exactly would be gained and affected by dividing the territory.
The elders themselves only knew one part of the process.
But the other information he did obtain was explosive enough.
Overlord-level forces had inherited their power for thousands of years, and each overlord-level force had produced a Master of Destiny, and even had thods that guaranteed a hundred percent improvent to reach the highest level of Great Grandmasters.
The amount of information was substantial.
Even if Zhu Xiao did not say so, he would still try to control it a bit to confirm the authenticity of the information.
The elder was a Grandmaster, but Grandmaster Level Martial Artists were unable to resist his control.
And the control was quickly established.
"Do you have anything you wish to ask?"
"Yes."
"Then ask away!"
Without hesitation, Zhu Xiao asked the question that she wanted to know: "Elder, do you have any contact with Zhu Long’s branch?"
"No!"
Upon hearing this answer, Zhu Xiao visibly let out a sigh of relief.
If the elder had been in contact with people from Zhu Long’s branch, that would be the most distressing issue.
After asking, she stepped aside as if she only had that one question in mind.
There were only two key questions that Wang Sheng wanted to ask.
"The things you said earlier, are they all true?"
"Yes!"
"The empires that have lasted for thousands of years, have all the Masters of Destiny been from your few families?"
This question was the most crucial.
"Yes!"
The elder gave the answer.
This land, with its thousands of years of history, all empires had been established by the seven major forces, and all the Masters of Destiny had been people from these seven major powers.
"Won’t you eliminate the other six forces when one becos the Emperor?"
"The seven forces, they all dream of wiping out the others, but if it were that simple, it wouldn’t have dragged on for so long. However, if many more forces want to rise again, it’s impossible."
"..."
Wang Sheng’s questions were also answered.
The answers he received were even more shocking than what he had imagined.
This tract of land, through all its battles, was actually all controlled by a few forces. They were high above, appearing as if they had been wiped out, but when the ti ca, they would rise again.
"Can this land not accommodate other forces?"
Wang Sheng lifted the mind control from the elder.
The elder had just heard his question; Wang Sheng hadn’t done much, so the elder rembered being under control.
"No wonder you weren’t afraid that I would deceive you!"
With such control thods, as long as they couldn’t resist, they would basically have no secrets. It was terrifying.
After asking his questions, both were prepared to leave.
However, before they went, Zhu Xiao said sothing.
"Elder, if I’m not mistaken, the thod that guarantees one can reach the peak of Great Grandmasters was originally from my family, not from Zhu Long’s branch, am I right? Zhu Long’s branch took that thing away and made it their own. Can really those who harbor such thoughts make the family prosper? Or are you saying that Zhu Long’s branch can represent the entire Zhu Family?"
"And elder, do you truly believe that Great Grandmaster is the limit? Although it seems hopeless now, as long as there’s a way forward, that guaranteed thod to reach the peak of Great Grandmasters may not be the most important. When that ti cos, talent is what truly matters!"
After she finished speaking, Zhu Xiao left the chamber with Wang Sheng, leaving the elder with a complicated expression.
"Is this kind of choice really a mistake?"
No one answered him.
anwhile, Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao had already arrived at a private room in the Yuelai Inn.
"Actually, that last sentence was more out of anger, a way to vent. Whether it’s possible to reach a realm above Great Grandmaster, I’m not sure myself. But what I said before was sincere. The thod that guarantees reaching the peak of Great Grandmasters is clearly a collective asset of the family, yet now it has beco the private property of Zhu Long’s branch..."
When Zhu Xiao was in a bad mood, she liked to grumble non-stop, continuously complaining.
It had always been like this, and it was the sa now.
She kept denouncing the clan elders and Zhu Long’s branch, clearly very unhappy.
Wang Sheng silently listened, while also pondering the information he had obtained from the elder.
It was not long before Zhu Xiao finished her tirade, feeling a bit embarrassed. Normally, she was the highest-ranking person, even the maids who had grown up with her had beco respectful. Now facing an equal, she naturally felt the urge to say more.
"I’m sorry for talking so much."
"It’s okay, it’s quite interesting," Wang Sheng chuckled, "And it’s normal. After all, to find that ninety percent of the family inheritance is soone else’s after all the effort you put in for the developnt of the family, anyone would be upset."
"Do you really think so?" Zhu Xiao ignored Wang Sheng’s playful tone.
Wang Sheng nodded: "Really."
He knew that Zhu Xiao had grown up weak and had developed her strength outside, though he did not know what had happened in her childhood. But becoming a top warrior outside and then fighting for a position as Family Head that might not make any difference, it was more about seeking recognition.
It was the sa way with the elder; she was angry because she had worked for the family, yet the elder responsible for inheritance had never recognized her.
Of course, Zhu Xiao would not let others bully her; even though she sought recognition, she would not indulge others.
After so thought, Wang Sheng continued: "Actually, this is quite good. Transforming your family into the Yuelai Inn must have been about arranging your own people, right?"
"Of course, I’m not stupid."
"That’s good then, a brand new force that shares your heart. Isn’t that better? If you truly break through to a realm above Great Grandmaster in the future, it will be troubleso if those people are still around!"
