"We can leave now." Ye Wushang straightened the creases on his clothes and returned to his usual indifference.
"Let's go." Wu Yuan also composed himself and opened the door of the stone room. The stone door slowly opened, and the three of them were shocked by the mountain of stones in front of them.
"Is there any other way out?" Mo Shangqiu hugged the Phoenix Wing Sword and looked at Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan cursed Mo Shangqiu a thousand times in his heart.
If not for Mo Shangqiu and the others, the secrets of Sword Crafting City would not have been revealed one by one and placed before them. Wu Yuan slapped the stone wall angrily, and a round stone floated out from under the lava.
" I think highly of you…" Mo Shangqiu smiled mischievously and patted Wu Yuan's shoulder playfully.
" Pa…" Wu Yuan slapped Mo Shangqiu's hand away and jumped onto the round rock after giving her a disdainful look.
Mo Shangqiu softened her reddened hand and pouted in dissatisfaction. Ye Wushang walked over. He wanted to help her brag about her marriage, but because of his status, he gave up on that idea.
"Are you alright?" Ye Wushang hid the coldness in his eyes, and the temperature around him warmed up.
"Hey, are you guys done? Are you going out or not?”Wu Yuan stood on the round rock and urged impatiently. He really did not want to see them standing alone together in a harmonious manner.
"It's fine. Let's go." Mo Shangqiu gave Ye Wushang a subtle smile and strode towards Wu Yuan.
The three of them stood on the round stone and floated in the lava ocean effortlessly. The round rock slowly moved to the northeast. Standing on the round rock, he looked at the huge underground ocean. Mo Shangqiu's emotions were indescribable. Sometimes, his thoughts drifted away, thinking about what he should do next after finding the Phoenix Wing Sword. The God of Time and Space did not give her any instructions on what to do after finding the Phoenix Wing Sword. Mo Shangqiu was secretly distressed, and her brows were filled with worry.
The round stone floated forward, and when it touched the surface of the lava, it was like a falling leaf on the water. After a quarter of an hour, the three of them passed by the stone steps that they had walked through earlier. From their angle, they could still see the stones that had fallen due to the vibration. Some were stuck between the stone steps, so chaotic that they could not be seen.
The round stone drew a beautiful arc in the air, trying to lean against the ground where they had landed. When he reached the shore, he stood on a rock and looked at a large circular open space. At a glance, he could see the slowly flowing lava. The stone that had fallen to the ground had already been lifted up by Liu Menghu and the others. Mo Shangqiu looked at Wu Yuan, waiting for him to think of a way.
"Why are you in such a hurry!" Wu Yuan said angrily. He did not forget to glare at Mo Shangqiu before turning around and pressing down on a protruding stone.
In just the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the stone ground they had come down from appeared before the three of them. Mo Shangqiu glanced at Wu Yuan. It contained a little respect. The Sword Pavilion in Sword Crafting City was simply filled with traps. It could be called the City of Traps and not the City of Sword Crafting. No matter what happened, it was indeed a good plan to have a way out.
"Are you bewitched by my appearance?”Wu Yuan smiled wickedly and turned back to look at Mo Shangqiu, lifting her chin with his finger with a contemptuous look.
"Shang Qiu, let's go." The coldness in Ye Wushang's eyes became even stronger. He pulled Mo Shangqiu over and stood on the stone floor, waiting for Wu Yuan to activate the mechanism and return to Sword Crafting City.
Wu Yuan looked at his empty fingers and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. There was still some warmth on his fingers, and Wu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. Looking at Ye Wushang and Mo Shangqiu's intimate actions, a touch of jealousy rose in her heart.
After a while, the three of them returned to the altar. As soon as they stood firm, they saw Liu Menghu and the others sitting on the ground. He no longer had the dignity of an alliance leader. He had just experienced a life and death escape. Less than half of their group was left. The three members of the Qingcheng Monastery, Liu Menghu, and his guards were left. There was also Nun Emei and one of her female disciples, Abbot Xuan Ming and Zi Sha.
Abbot Xuan Ming's Shaolin Temple disciples were all buried in the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Some of them were unfortunately crushed to death when they squeezed into the stone chamber. Some of them were squeezed into the lava on the stone path, or fell into the lava and died. In short, this trip had suffered heavy losses. Ye Wushang looked at Zisha, who was in a slightly sorry state, and praised her in his heart.
As expected of his woman, she was indeed a capable woman. However, it would probably not be that easy to leave Sword Crafting City.
" Friends, why are you sitting here? It's best if you return to Sword Crafting City to rest for a while.”Wu Yuan said sarcastically, unknowingly provoking the anger of Liu Menghu and the others.
Liu Menghu didn't suffer any losses, but Abbot Xuanming and the Emei Sect suffered the most. However, as the leader of the alliance, he still had to question Wu Yuan about what had happened today.
"Has Sword Master Wu Yuan forgotten what happened just now? You're not going to give me an explanation for the tragic deaths of my martial artists in Sword Crafting City?”Liu Menghu's eyes widened, and his pupils dilated. He stood up angrily and walked to Wu Yuan, swearing to get an explanation from Wu Yuan.
"It's windy outside. Why don't we discuss it in Sword Crafting City?”Wu Yuan didn't mention anything about the mission. He didn't know what had happened at the Sword Pavilion either. What kind of explanation did he want to give Liu Menghu?
"Alright then. I'll have to ask Sword Master Wu Yuan to give us an explanation when we return to Sword Crafting City.”Liu Menghu flung his sleeves, the hatred in his eyes unconcealed. Other than Ye Wushang, Mo Shangqiu, and the others, everyone present was furious.
" Please…" Wu Yuan invited Liu Menghu to return to Sword Crafting City in a gentlemanly manner. Just as Liu Menghu was about to take a step forward, Wu Yuan led the way. He said that he was leading the way, but in fact, Wu Yuan did not give Liu Menghu any face at all, making him lose face.
As expected, when Wu Yuan took a step forward and walked in front of Liu Menghu, Liu Menghu's face darkened. His eyes were burning with rage, as if he wanted to swallow Wu Yuan alive. The group of people returned to Sword Crafting City in a slightly disheveled state and returned to their rooms to change out of their dirty clothes. They came to the hall to wait for Wu Yuan to apologize personally. Everyone thought that Wu Yuan would at least show some apology on the surface, but they did not expect it.
When Mo Shangqiu and the others arrived at the main hall, they saw Wu Yuan sitting on the main seat. The table was filled with dishes waiting for them to take their seats. Mo Shangqiu could not help but sigh at the efficiency of the servants in Sword Crafting City. They had only changed their clothes and prepared a table full of dishes.
Mo Shangqiu didn't say anything about this. She didn't intend to ask for an explanation and was just here to join in the fun. Liu Menghu's face darkened when he saw the table full of dishes. Was this Wu Yuan's way of apologizing?
However, Liu Menghu was disappointed. This table of dishes did not mean that Wu Yuan admitted that he owed Liu Menghu and the others. This was purely a dish that Wu Yuan had prepared because he had not eaten breakfast and was hungry. He waited until everyone had arrived before instructing them to take their seats.
"Shang Qiu, come here." Wu Yuan pointed at the seat beside him and gestured for Mo Shangqiu to take a seat. Logically speaking, that seat was only second to the main seat and should be occupied by the highly respected Alliance Master Liu. However, he did not expect Wu Yuan to directly ask Mo Shangqiu to sit beside him. After all, Mo Shangqiu was not someone who would listen to others. Even though Liu Menghu's face was dark, she still sat down beside Wu Yuan.
Ye Wushang also took a seat on Mo Shangqiu's right, and Mo Shangqiu was sandwiched between the two men. Liu Menghu could only sit next to Ye Wushang, two seats away from Wu Yuan. The rest of the people also took their seats casually and did not take it to heart. When Liu Menghu asked Wu Yuan for his explanation a few times in the dining room, Wu Yuan easily avoided words that advised them to eat well.
Halfway through, Wu Yuan didn't forget to serve Mo Shangqiu some food. Mo Shangqiu ate happily with a clear conscience. Ye Wushang, who was sitting beside Mo Shangqiu, saw how attentive Wu Yuan was, so he also placed some food into Mo Shangqiu's bowl. In just a few moments, the dishes in Mo Shangqiu's bowl had piled up into a small mountain. The three black lines on Mo Shangqiu's head indicated that she was very depressed.
The lunch turned into a comical fight over the dishes, and after it ended, no one had any intention of leaving. They were all sitting on chairs and drinking tea leisurely, waiting for Wu Yuan to speak. If Liu Menghu and the others did not speak, Wu Yuan naturally would not speak. Anyway, he was not the one who could not sit still.
Sure enough, Liu Menghu waited for Wu Yuan for a long time, but Wu Yuan did not seem to have any intention of speaking. Only then did he stand up and make a small gesture. "Sword Master Wu Yuan, are you not going to give us an explanation for what happened today?”
Wu Yuan said seductively as he sat on the main seat. "What happened today was purely an accident.”
"Just saying sorry to Sword Master Wu Yuan and that's it?”Liu Menghu said angrily. He wanted to use this opportunity to make Wu Yuan offer up the treasured sword of Sword Crafting City. However, he was disappointed again. Wu Yuan had fallen into his trap so easily.
"Alliance Master Liu, you're the ones who want to go in, but now you're blaming me, Wu Yuan, for what happened?”Wu Yuan's contemptuous gaze swept across the people outside the valley who were sitting there. He despised the style of the people in the martial world.
When everyone heard Wu Yuan's words, they knew that Wu Yuan would not admit to the underground city. However, they were unwilling to take this opportunity to make a profit. All eyes were on Liu Menghu, waiting for his next counterattack.
Wu Yuan saw their anxious gazes and sneered silently. It was not that easy to get ideas about him.
"Swordmaster Wu Yuan is right. We were the ones who suggested visiting the Sword Pavilion. However, he did not expect such a big thing to happen. Because of the tragic death of his companion, he could not help but feel anxious.”Liu Menghu stood up and lowered his eyes to hide the light in his eyes.
Liu Menghu's intention was obvious. He wanted Wu Yuan to exchange the sword for Youyou's mouth.
Wu Yuan put down the tea in his hand and stood up with a guilty expression. "Alliance Head Liu is right. I will naturally give them a grand burial. If Alliance Lord Liu is worried about the feng shui of my Sword Crafting City, it's better for me to bring it back myself.”
Everyone present understood Wu Yuan's words. He was saying that if the dead were to be buried in Sword Crafting City, it would dirty his territory. The more Liu Menghu listened, the angrier he became. His hands hidden under his loose robe clenched into fists, and his veins were exposed.
"Why would Sword Master Wu Yuan say that? The Fengshui of Sword Crafting City is very good. Of course I can rest assured." Liu Menghu hid his unhappiness and said hypocritically.
"Since Alliance Master Liu is at ease, I will order people to give you all a lavish burial another day. He had already seen Alliance Master Sword Willow, who was forged in Sword Crafting City, so Wu Yuan could not allow the warriors to enter the forbidden area of Sword Pavilion again.”Wu Yuan bluntly ordered Liu Menghu and the others to leave as soon as possible.
Liu Menghu and the others also heard Wu Yuan's order to leave. Their expressions changed drastically, and they instantly became dissatisfied.
"Everyone, have a good rest. Wu Yuan still has something to do and will take his leave first.”Wu Yuan left in a carefree manner, leaving behind a group of people who were moody.
The other party had already given the order to leave. How could they still have the face to stay here? They could only return to their rooms to pack their things and prepare to leave tomorrow.
