Martial Saint through Reading

He only mentioned South City, without saying he’s here to deal with the evil at the Black Tower, leaving some room for maneuver.

”Master, please get me out now,” Chu Ming said, his face suddenly turning pale.

”Huh?” Xiang Yue was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood.

”...”

About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Feng arrived in a hurried manner with his men, pretending to be flustered. Seeing Xiang Yue with the pale-faced young man in white, his eyes showed both disappointment and surprise.

The surprise was feigned, while the disappointment came from his heart.

”Duke Xirong, we failed to protect you well, and you’ve been frightened...”

All the politeness of the scene came forth at this moment.

Chu Ming closed his eyes, feeble and weak, appearing greatly frightened.

Xiang Yue snorted and helped Chu Ming leave.

After a few steps, Yang Feng ran up again, bowed and cupped his fists, asking, ”May I ask, Duke Xirong, what happened during the explosion in South City?”

”Master Yang, is this the time to ask Duke Xirong such a question?” Xiang Yue said coldly.

”...” Yang Feng paused, bowed once again, and asked no more, stepping aside.

At this moment.

”Cough, cough...” Chu Ming lightly coughed a few times, ”Master Yang, I was only checking the damage to South City from the outside and did not go deeper. There was indeed an explosion inside, possibly strong practitioners are fighting...cough, cough... I don’t know the specifics.”

”Master Yang, it’s best if you lead your men inside to investigate, to avoid...cough...any accidents...”

Saying this, Chu Ming thought to himself to find a time to make Yang Feng shut his mouth.

Go inside personally?

There are Tier Six evils in there; apart from the King of Border, who would dare enter.

Yang Feng had no choice but to bow once more and send them off.

Xiang Yue supported Chu Ming and left, watching their figures disappear.

”Let’s go!”

Yang Feng waved his hand, leading his men in retreat.

...

Back at the residence, Chu Ming wiped the paleness off his face, turning his gaze to Xiang Yue.

”Master, although the threat from Tier Six evils is neutralized, the news is out, and in the next two days, high-tier primordial warriors from other countries are likely to arrive. I plan to wait at the Black Tower.”

Xiang Yue’s brows furrowed: ”What are you planning to do?”

”See if I can gain some benefits,” Chu Ming chuckled lightly.

”You intend to target high-tier Qi Warriors?” Xiang Yue felt concerned, ”If they dare come, they must have the means to eliminate Tier Six evils. Is this too risky?”

”Master, rest assured, I won’t be reckless. Master Ji should be returning soon, nothing will happen.”

Chu Ming couldn’t directly tell Xiang Yue that his purpose of waiting at the Black Tower was not for benefits, but to find and disguise targets among the high-tier Qi Warriors from other countries.

If Xiang Yue knew, it would require an explanation, then Ji Wujiang would certainly find out, needing another explanation, and might even forbid him from doing so.

After all, this involved the Great Qin Dynasty’s National Treasure, the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

The Qin Dynasty’s two National Guardian Realm figures, Master Ji Wujiang might trust him, but the other from the Chang Qin Royal Family might not.

Therefore, he simply chose not to tell.

Xiang Yue looked at Chu Ming, his throat moving, but ultimately didn’t speak; he knew Chu Ming was not reckless and must have his reasons for such considerations.

Subsequently, Chu Ming handed some elixirs to Xiang Yue, and then concealed himself, returning to the South City Black Tower.

Situated at the base of the Black Tower, he took out the Thousand Refining Earth Fire Furnace, materials from the Tier Six evil he slain, the Ring of the Dark Flame Monarch containing Cold Abyssal Flame, and his Fourth-tier Primordial Artifact Shield Shuttle.

He planned to reforge the Shield Shuttle, elevating it to the rank of Tier Six Primordial Artifact.

”There aren’t many Tier Six materials, barely enough to reforge the core of the Shield Shuttle and three shield plates; the other six plates need more high-tier primordial materials obtained in the future.”

The Shield Shuttle consists of a core and nine large shield plates, needing a lot of materials, and just one Tier Six evil’s materials aren’t quite enough.

”Tier Six evils are also beneath the Black Towers in Pingzhong County and Chi’an County’s Divine Mystery Bureau, convenient to acquire when executing the hate transfer plan.”

Thinking this way, he sent the Tier Six artifact materials into the Ring of the Dark Flame Monarch, where the Cold Abyssal Flame wrapped them, instantly freezing them into ice.

Taking them out and gently tapping them, they were pulverized.

Sent into the Thousand Refining Earth Fire Furnace, he ignited the furnace flame.

Swoosh!

The furnace’s temperature wasn’t very high, yet it could refine the Tier Six artifact material powder.

Even Tier Six artifact materials were steadily handled by the Cold Abyssal Flame.

Refining... extracting... purifying... inscribing... shaping... arranging array...

Primordial Consciousness wrapped in Primordial Qi swiftly engaged in refining the Shield Shuttle.
