Weapon Master

Chapter 197 - Specters

”Are you sure? Is that person really Tang Huan? ” Dragon Spring Town, on the roof of Divine Armament’s building, Ge Teng exclaimed in a low voice, his brows filled with undisguised astonishment.

”You’re absolutely right!”

”Tower Lord, this is a message from the Sha Long Empire’s Thousand Generals Palace. It is said that Chu Feng had already confirmed Tang Huan’s identity early yesterday morning, so he immediately sent people to chase after Dugu Yan who had left Dragon Spring Town in the afternoon.

”How did Chu Feng know?” Ge Teng was still a little doubtful.

”It’s the soldiers of the Sha Long Empire. They found a weapon in Tang Huan’s residence, and that weapon was precisely the ’Rainbow Blade’ that Hong Tao used when he was alive. After Hong Tao was killed by Tang Huan, the Rainbow Blade has always been in Tang Huan’s hands.” The middle-aged man said, ”Just now, Dugu Yan had already brought a large group of people back to the Dragon Spring Town. Very soon, they will begin to search everywhere for Tang Huan’s traces. ”

”Even Dugu Yan came back. Seems like the news is correct!”

Ge Teng frowned, ”I really didn’t expect that Tang Huan would actually change his appearance and come to the Dragon Spring Town to participate in the gambling stone. No wonder he was unwilling to sell the three ’Heavenly Wood Rocks’, as he is a Weapon Refiner himself, and with the ’Heavenly Wood Rocks’ in his hands, he can forge a weapon that is suitable for the Weapon Refiner to use.”

”That day, I also saw the advanced weapon that he used. The Spirit Map at the end of his spear, could it be that he used the ’Heavenly Wood Stone’ to draw the outline?” The middle-aged man suddenly said.

”How is this possible?”

”Without even thinking about it, Ge Teng shook his head and laughed,” If he had brought the ’Phoenix Flame Essence’ along with him during the journey from the Phoenix Spirit Valley to the Dragon Spring Town in so many days, it would have become ineffective. That levelled up weapon was most likely forged using the materials provided by the ’Star Ocean Commerce’. He got first place in the Martial Competition, so he can get forty percent of the ’Phoenix Flame Essence’. He can use a portion of the extra ’Phoenix Flame Essence’ to get the Star Ocean Commerce to help him. ”

”If that’s the case, why did he take the risk to come to the Dragon Spring Town to participate in the stone gambling?” The middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask, ”Besides that, could it be that OP has forgotten the Scorching Sun Stone?”

”This...”

Ge Teng was startled, if what he said was true, then Tang Huan coming to the Divine Armament to gamble with stones was very puzzling, and furthermore, the ”Fierce Sun Stone” could make the ”Phoenix Flame Essence” exist for a long time even after leaving its territory, could it be that the equipment he forged was actually himself? However, Tang Huan was only a middle stage Weapon Refiner, how could he refine a high grade ”Heavenly Wood Stone”?

”Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. He’s Tang Huan’s problem, who else would know about it?”

”Besides the Sha Long Empire’s Thousand Generals Palace, there should be only us for the time being.”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, ”However, once the Thousand Generals Palace makes a move, this news will be hard to hide. OP, how should we deal with this matter? For someone like Tang Huan, even the Pavilion Master himself would praise him greatly. If he was harmed by Dugu Yan, it would truly be a pity. ”

”The key is that we don’t know where he is. This is going to be difficult...”

”...”

… ….

”That is the Dragon Spring Ancient Town!”

Climbing over a ridge that was hundreds of meters high, the horizon suddenly became clear. Below the mountain, a vast and flat forest extended outwards. Among the trees, one could even vaguely see the shadows of some buildings. In the north of the forest, two mountain ranges intersected from afar, forming a huge valley.

As they approached the mouth of the valley, they could faintly see the flickering of flames.

And in the depths of the valley, there was a huge monument that was hundreds of meters tall that tore open the seal of the lush forest and stood there quietly. From afar, it looked like an unsheathed huge sword that pierced the sky.

That valley was the famous Sword Crafting Valley. Outside the valley, naturally, were the previously prosperous and now engulfed Dragon Spring Town.

Regarding the two words ”Dragon Spring”, even in his previous life, Tang Huan still heard it loud enough.

As a world-renowned Sword Crafting Master, it was impossible for Tang Huan to not have visited the Dragon Spring in Zhejiang province.

In that place, the ancient sword crafting ancestor Ou Yezi had also known of the Dragon Spring Sword that originated from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Era. As for the other famous ancient swords, such as Tai’e, Gan Wei, Mo Xie, and many others, they were all said to have originated from there too.

When Tang Huan was in his previous life, he went to Zhejiang Dragon Spring multiple times.

The Dragon Spring Town of this world was no longer the Dragon Spring Town of his previous life, but even so, every time he heard the two words ”Dragon Spring”, Tang Huan felt a sense of familiarity.

”We’ll have to be extremely careful next.”

Mu Yan turned his head to look at Tang Huan, and said slowly, ”Although the Ancient Town of Dragon Spring looks very calm on the outside, there are a large number of vengeful spirits inside, which are extremely dangerous.”

”A vengeful spirit …”

Tang Huan frowned, his expression becoming more serious.

He had heard of vengeful spirits more than once.

In the past, when the Sword Crafting Valley s of the Ancient Town of Dragon Spring and other towns in the region were slaughtered, their souls gathered and did not disperse, forming the present vengeful spirit.

The vengeful spirits were ruthless and bloodthirsty. They had already lost all reason. Any life form they met would become the target of their crazy attacks.

Over the past few decades, some vengeful spirits had become extremely powerful.

Before this, those vengeful spirits were basically scattered all over the Sword Crafting Valley area, but in these few months, the situation had greatly changed. All of the vengeful spirits seemed to have been motivated and gathered at the Ancient Dragon Spring Town and the Sword Crafting Valley from all directions.

The ”True Fire” all the Weapon Refiner s absorbed came from the ”True Fire Pool” within the Sword Crafting Valley.

After Dragon Spring Ancient Town was occupied by a large number of vengeful spirits, it would not be easy for Martial Warriors to enter the Sword Crafting Valley to retrieve ”True Fire s”. If the situation of the Ancient Dragon Spring Town and the Sword Crafting Valley did not change, forget about 1000 gold coins for a set of ”True Fire s”, even tens of thousands of gold coins was possible.

”Let’s go!”

They looked at each other, then quickly descended the mountain.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two had arrived at the ancient town of Longquan.

Everywhere they passed, there were ruins everywhere. Even though some of the houses still had the rough outline of a few decades ago, they were already covered by countless vines. Although it was still daytime, there were shadows everywhere. A dense, cold intent lingered in the air, as though it was travelling through the dark ghostlands.

At this time, the Rainbow Spirit Mouse had already snuck into Mu Yan’s clothes, and only his small head was revealed, while Xiao Budian also sneaked into the cloth bag in front of Tang Huan’s chest, exposing his head.

On Mu Han’s back, Feng Ming was looking around.

The three little fellows didn’t make a sound, but the three pairs of eyes continued to roll about.

Tang Huan and Mu Yan advanced quickly. The road in the city had long ago been covered with weeds and withered branches and withered leaves. These were all stepped out by the Martial Warriors s that came to train here. Before the change, this was the playground for the Martial Warriors’s experiential learning.

Many Martial Warriors had the experience of finding treasures in ruins.

After a thousand meters, Tang Huan and Mu Yan could not help but exchange a glance, and a trace of doubt appeared between their brows. After entering the ancient town for such a long time, he didn’t even see a single vengeful spirit.

The existence of vengeful spirits had always been an unsolved mystery on the continent.

All the other Martial Warriors in the Origin Continent area would have their souls dispersed after they were killed by the Demon Clan. Only the Martial Warriors in the Sword Crafting Valley area would have their souls turned into vengeful spirits, and no one knew the reason why. This time, the Sword Crafting Valley had changed. The vengeful spirits had gathered from all over the place, so no one knew the reason why.

”Could it be that all of the vengeful spirits have left?” Mu Yan muttered with suspicion.

”Who cares, it’s better if we don’t have a vengeful spirit. We can easily enter the depths of Sword Crafting Valley.” Tang Huan did not bother to think about it anymore, laughed out loud, and suddenly increased his speed, but just as Tang Huan was about to pass through an arch, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked towards the left.
