Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 599 - 187: Unusual Coffin, Envoy from Hanzhou, A Kill Unavoidable, One More Gamble

After a small half-cup of tea time, he finally saw it.

In a secluded mountain cove with a clear spring flowing, there were furnaces, hammers, and forging equipment, all in full view.

And over a thousand blacksmiths were standing solemnly in the mountains, holding hammers and looking with utmost reverence at the man in gray at the front.

The man in gray had a solemn expression, it was indeed Master Zhu.

Beside Master Zhu was a man wrapped in a black robe, whom Li Yuan recognized as the Black Lotus Sect’s Vice Sect Leader—Peng Guang. However, over a decade had passed, and Peng Guang’s strength had not changed much, clearly indicating that his progress to Fourth Grade was quite slow.

And opposite Master Zhu were twenty people; these were twenty Fifth Grade individuals, including both people from the Lotus Sect and the Emperor’s people, Zhao Chunxin among them.

They each held high positions, coming from various places, most of them newly risen in recent years.

At this moment, these Fifth Grade individuals were picking up the weapons in front of Master Zhu, sensing them one by one.

After a while, one of the Fifth Grade individuals bowed and said: "Thank you, Master Zhu!"

Another Fifth Grade individual spoke to someone beside him: "This spiritual artifact is really good. With this spiritual artifact, my strength can be significantly enhanced."

There was also a Fifth Grade individual who, in a shocked and incredulous tone, said: "Master Zhu forged these twenty different spiritual artifacts at the same time. Could it cause mental exhaustion, could it..."

This person was interrupted by Peng Mi before he could finish.

Peng Guang waved his hand and said: "Step back, Master Zhu’s methods are beyond your understanding."

Those Fifth Grade individuals then departed one by one.

These spiritual artifacts could not be used immediately; they needed to hang in a place full of vitality for ten months before they could be used.

However, the real great battle would also be in ten months, so there was plenty of time.

Zhao Chunxin couldn’t hide her joy as she held the fiery red Ghost Head Blade emanating a hot aura. She could feel the power within this weapon and knew that her strength would leap forward with it.

After everyone left, Peng Guang asked worriedly: "Master Zhu, are you alright?"

Zhu Ban stroked his beard and proudly said: "If it were before, naturally not.

But since I comprehended the way of forging... spiritual artifacts are no different from common iron, and can be forged with ease."

Peng Guang asked: "Then... what about Fourth Grade spiritual artifacts?"

Zhu Ban asked calmly: "Do you want one?"

Peng Guang was stunned, then instantly overjoyed, ecstatically saying: "Yes, yes, yes, of course, I want one!!!"

After saying this, he paused and added: "But, Master Zhu, before that... the Emperor summons you.

He said that if you succeed, he would have you meet him.

That’s why the Sect Leader had me come here early to await the results."

"The Emperor?"

Zhu Ban furrowed his brows, "What does he want with me?"

Peng Guang said: "It must be a good thing, please pack a little, and I will take you to him."

After saying this, Peng Guang suddenly furrowed his brows, feeling something increasingly off.

Suddenly, he looked up, looking upward.

In his sight appeared clouds, and a Flying Bird in the wilderness...

He quickly locked onto that unusual Flying Bird.

That bird seemed ordinary, but it appeared to have been hovering in the clouds above him for a long time.

However, this Flying Bird was so cunning, flying high and far, beyond a dozen miles, making it impossible for him to attack it from here with his power.

Peng Guang initially wanted to fly up and kill the bird, but then his body shuddered suddenly, recalling the encounter at the Emperor’s sacrificial ceremony last month, showing a grave expression.

He vaguely remembered the solemnity of those big shots at that time, and then he went to see the scene himself.

That scorching aura, that terrifying sword qi, which hadn’t completely dissipated even after a long time.

That kind of power...

That kind of terrifying power!!!

"What’s the matter?" Zhu Ban’s inquiry broke Peng Guang’s recollection.

Peng Guang regained his senses and said: "It’s nothing, I will take you to meet the Emperor."

As for the bird, he felt it didn’t matter anymore whether it was killed or not...

Shooting the bird also depends on its owner!

He could instantly kill that bird, but the bird’s owner seemed able to instantly kill him.

Practicing is not easy, so things beyond his ability range should be promptly reported.

Peng Guang’s little thoughts did not escape Li Yuan’s observation.

Li Yuan exclaimed in astonishment, unexpectedly finding such a pleasant surprise.

Thus, with an experimental attitude of "boldly trying, cautiously verifying," he controlled that bird to start flying at a low altitude.

The bird flew lower and lower, just flying above Peng Guang’s head.

Peng Guang:...

Soon, a Lotus Sect disciple called out: "Vice Sect Leader, this bird is unusual! It should be Xinghai’s trick."

Another Lotus Sect cadre grabbed something from his waist, seemingly ready to take action, while murmuring: "Dare to spy on us, ha..."

Seeing that the cadre was about to act, Peng Guang hurriedly scolded: "Stop it!"

The Lotus Sect cadre was taken aback.

Peng Guang said: "That bird is not a problem!"

Lotus Sect cadre: ???

Lotus Sect disciple: ???

In the distance, Li Yuan laughed, thinking to himself: ’It seems that a slight display of strength last month did bring some benefits.’

He then manipulated two more birds to fly over.

Three birds formed a pyramid shape flying up and down over Peng Guang’s head.

Peng Guang:......

This time, even Master Zhu noticed something was off.

He said gravely: "Sect Leader Guang, these three birds indeed have a problem."

Peng Guang chuckled and said: "Master Zhu, rest assured, there is no problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the three birds suddenly landed on his shoulder, arrogantly turning its head around, closely observing the forward direction and internal details of this Lotus Sect team.

Peng Guang’s Adam’s apple bobbed, a flush of blood flashed across his face.

Too much bullying!

Too much bullying indeed!!

"Haha, Master Zhu, look, familiar faces, all familiar faces, hahaha..." Peng Guang said with a smile.
