To be able to safely enter Sword Crafting City from such a high cliff, he was definitely not an ordinary person. After Wu Yuan sent people to inquire about Liu Menghu and found out that he was the famous Alliance Master of the martial arts world, he did not feel any fear. Why would the Martial Arts Alliance Master come to his territory? Naturally, he had to obey his orders.
Liu Menghu had put it nicely, saying that he wanted to see the swords forged by the swordmasters in Sword Crafting City. In his heart, he was thinking that he would definitely snatch it away if he had the chance. How could Wu Yuan not know what he was thinking? Wu Yuan had known about his wishful thinking on the first day they entered the valley, so he had deliberately kept them in suspense for a few days.
Wu Yuan recalled Mo Shangqiu's words that night and agreed to bring Liu Menghu and the others to see the weapons they had forged the next day. On the surface, everyone thought that Wu Yuan was giving face to Liu Menghu. However, in reality, it was because if Mo Shangqiu was not around, this matter would not have been possible.
The next day, everyone arrived at the location they had discussed earlier. Of course, Mo Shangqiu was the last to arrive. It wasn't that Mo Shangqiu wasn't curious, but because a certain someone had a morning temper and liked to laze in bed, she naturally became the last to arrive at the meeting place.
Even the host, Wu Yuan, was waiting there, waiting for the arrival of the elderly Mo Shangqiu. It was obvious that a certain someone was rather thick-skinned. Under everyone's burning gazes, Mo Shangqiu did not feel embarrassed at all. His every move was sloppy, and there was no apology for wasting other people's time.
A small smile flashed across the corner of Wu Yuan's mouth, but it quickly disappeared. No one had the chance to catch the change. Only Ye Wushang, who was far away, saw the subtle change. The coldness in his eyes deepened.
Wu Yuan stood at the front, facing Mo Shangqiu and the others. A clear voice rang out," Warriors, remember to keep the Flame Taming Pearl that I prepared for you. It can help you resist things that you can't bear. If you lose it, your lives will be in danger. Follow me to Sword Crafting City's Sword Pavilion.”
Everyone was fighting against Little Yellow. The perverted pearl was very curious. When it heard Wu Yuan say that it would be life-threatening if it was lost, it quickly put it away. She followed Wu Yuan's footsteps and walked toward the altar.
Wu Yuan stood in the lead, followed by Liu Menghu, the abbot of the Xuanming Sect, Ye Wushang, and Mo Shangqiu. Behind them were the Abbess of Emei, the Sect Leader of Qingcheng Sect, Leng Yue, and Mu Chuxue. Behind them were their disciples. A group of people walked toward the altar in a mighty manner.
That day, at the place where Sword Crafting City's swordmasters were offering sacrifices to the heavens, someone from outside the valley had appeared. According to Sword Crafting City's rules, outsiders were not allowed to stay in a sacred place like the altar. This time, Wu Yuan was considered to have made the first move. Mo Shangqiu and the others stood in front of the altar and looked at Wu Yuan who had stopped, feeling puzzled.
" Boom…" A loud sound rang out, causing Mo Shangqiu and the others 'hearts to skip a beat. The ground they were standing on was rapidly falling. Mu Chuxue was so shocked by the sudden loud noise that she almost fell to the ground.
Leng Yue was the closest to her and reached out to support her swaying body. Mu Chuxue raised her head and looked at Leng Yue gratefully. She turned her eyes away in a panic. When she looked carefully, she realized that Mu Chuxue's face was flushed red. Leng Yue's face was calm as usual, but she didn't retract her hand that was supporting Mu Chuxue.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the descending ground finally stopped. The moment he landed steadily, a gust of hot air assailed his nostrils. Everyone looked up and was so surprised that they could not shut their mouths. In front of them was a steaming lava, and in the middle was a path paved with stones that could allow one person to walk. They couldn't see the end of the path as they walked forward. Wu Yuan picked up his feet and walked in front. Mo Shangqiu was the first to react and follow Wu Yuan's footsteps. Ye Wushang was a step faster than Liu Menghu.
Although Liu Menghu was furious, he could only follow behind silently. The people from the other sects finally reacted and chased after him. In the beginning, he was very careful, afraid that he would accidentally fall into the lava. There was no unbearable temperature inside. It was just a little higher than normal temperature, and they had to rely on the Flame Taming Pearl that Wu Yuan had given them.
Without the Flame Taming Pearl, even if they had the ability to enter, they would not be able to leave. Without the protection of the Flame Taming Pearl, they would only die from lack of oxygen. Now, everyone truly understood how important the Flame Taming Pearl was.
Wu Yuan led them inside and took a few detours in the middle of an hour. The female disciples of the Emei Sect looked at the lava flowing slowly under their feet. They were all walking on the stone road in fear.
An hour later, Wu Yuan and the others finished their journey. They stepped onto a stone wall that led to a dense stone path. There was no broken stone in the middle, and no red lava could be seen. The oil lamp on the stone wall lit up the small space. Wu Yuan opened the mechanism and walked in first.
Mo Shangqiu followed behind him and walked through the sealed stone wall. The air instantly became thin. The people who entered later felt that it was difficult to breathe. Fortunately, the distance was not very far. In just 15 minutes, they walked out of the stone room. When they opened the door of the stone room, they saw a sea of Wang Yang fire.
There was a large platform outside the stone room. Everyone came out of the stone room and stood on the platform to watch the rare Wang Yang. About a hundred meters to the southwest, there was a sword slot filled with all kinds of swords.
There were countless of them. Liu Menghu's eyes revealed a greedy gaze. It wasn't just him. Apart from Mo Shangqiu, Ye Wushang, and Wu Yuan, everyone else present revealed a greedy expression. Mo Shangqiu was only surprised that the sword in the sword slot was still unharmed and not melted by the high-temperature lava.
Just how many more secrets did Sword Crafting City have that no one knew? At this moment, Mo Shangqiu looked at Wu Yuan with a little more admiration. Wu Yuan didn't miss this look. He was a little smug in his heart, but his face still had a good-for-nothing smile.
Everyone was looking at the strength path sword that was 100 meters away from the groove, as if they were looking forward. However, due to the wide area of the lava, even if one had advanced qinggong, they would still be able to fly. He was afraid that he would fall into the lava and be swallowed alive before he reached the ground. The joy at the beginning suddenly turned into disappointment.
Their absent-minded appearance had deeply impressed Wu Yuan, and there was naturally a reason behind it. Otherwise, how could the swordmasters of Sword Crafting City insert the swords into the slots? However, Wu Yuan did not plan to let Liu Menghu and the others go and take a closer look.
Letting them enter was already a great grace. This had already exceeded the rules of Sword Crafting City. Wu Yuan did not want those treasured swords to fall on these hypocrite with the heart of a beast. Wu Yuan looked at their burning eyes with disdain.
Mo Shangqiu did not take too long to collect those treasured swords. After recovering from his shock, Mo Shangqiu began to size up the spacious Underground Sword Pavilion. The boundless lava ocean was steaming, and it was a sight that only a few people in the world had ever seen.
Mo Shangqiu's gaze slowly swept to the southeast. She kept feeling that there was something in the endless ocean that attracted her gaze. She stared for a long time without retracting her gaze.
Just as Mo Shangqiu had expected, there was a concave groove at the corner of a thousand meters southeast. There was a treasured sword inside. This sword had existed for many years, but few people knew about it.
Wu Yuan looked in the direction where Mo Shangqiu's gaze was directed, and an inexplicable light flashed across his purple eyes. Could it be that Mo Shangqiu had discovered something? However, when he saw Mo Shangqiu's slightly puzzled eyes, Wu Yuan's heart sank again.
"Swordmaster Wu Yuan, I wonder if we can take a closer look at that treasured sword?”Liu Menghu was humble and orderly. He hid a knife in his smile, thinking that Wu Yuan would definitely give him face as the leader of the martial arts world. Naturally, she wouldn't reject him, but she didn't want to.
Wu Yuan raised his purple eyes in disdain, his red hair fluttering in the wind. Her red lips parted slightly." Alliance Master Liu, Wu Yuan has committed an unforgivable crime by allowing you to enter the forbidden area of Sword Crafting City. He should be expelled from the valley, but I didn't expect my clansmen to have good intentions and be unwilling to let Wu Yuan leave the valley, so he didn't argue with me.”
Liu Menghu's expression changed drastically when he heard Wu Yuan's words. He cursed Wu Yuan in his heart for being despicable and shameless. However, he had an apologetic look on his face as he cupped his fists. "Thank you for your kindness, Swordmaster Wu Yuan. It's just that it's a pity that we can't carefully observe the auspicious objects when we come to your esteemed land.”
Liu Menghu would not give up so easily. He once again tried to convince Wu Yuan. Abbot Xuanming and the others didn't stop Liu Menghu from bringing them to see the treasured sword up close. It was good to offend one less person, so there was naturally no need to offend Wu Yuan all the time.
In any case, the outcome was what they wanted. Liu Menghu secretly cursed Abbot Xuan Ming for being shameless and relying on him to convince Wu Yuan.
After Wu Yuan heard that, the smile on his face disappeared when he saw that Liu Menghu was still unwilling to give up. His eyes were slightly angry and his tone was unfriendly. "Why didn't Alliance Master Liu hear what Wu Yuan said? Did I not make myself clear?”
Just as Liu Menghu was about to speak, the ground suddenly shook.
The ground began to tremble slightly. Wu Yuan also calmed down from the anger in his purple eyes. He was puzzled.
Everyone listened carefully and was on high alert. The tremors from the ground grew stronger and stronger. Even Mo Shangqiu retracted her gaze and focused her attention on the ground beneath her feet.
The tremors were getting stronger and stronger, and the ground had already begun to shake. Liu Menghu and the others all looked at Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan was also at a loss for words by this sudden change.
The ground beneath their feet shook as well. Mo Shangqiu and the others struggled to stabilize their bodies. As time passed, they became more and more exhausted.
The ground shook, and small stones kept falling. It fell into the lava and caused ripples.
"Wu Yuan, what's going on?”Liu Menghu thought that Wu Yuan wanted to kill them and thought of how Wu Yuan had agreed to bring them into the Sword Pavilion. He was even more certain that it was Wu Yuan's doing.
Wu Yuan turned his body sideways to avoid the falling stone on his head. He turned around and glared at Liu Menghu. "No matter what Alliance Master Liu said, Wu Yuan was also kept in the dark and didn't know what to do.”
Liu Menghu snorted coldly and said disdainfully. "Swordmaster brought us in but didn't let us get close. Are you trying to trap us here?”
When Nun Emei and the others heard this, their expressions immediately turned ugly. He looked at Wu Yuan with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Hmph, in my territory, I have thousands of ways to kill you. Why would I bring you into the forbidden area?”Wu Yuan gave Liu Menghu a look of disdain.
Although everyone was dissatisfied with Wu Yuan's arrogance, they had no objections to his words. Wu Yuan's words did not make sense. It seemed that this sudden change was indeed not arranged by Wu Yuan.
