Chapter 294
Chapter 294 - Taibai stone
For the next few days, the grudges between Tang Huan and the Tang Family spread like wildfire. There were even quite a few Martial Warriors who ran outside of the blacksmith shop in the north of the city as well as nearby the Tang Family to investigate.
However, in the past few days, ever since Tang Huan returned from the Tang Family's Martial Arts Practice Field, he did not leave his house and continued to stay in the smithy to forge mid-grade weapons. The more insolent members of the Tang Family also rarely showed their faces. They all stayed indoors and seemed to be licking their wounds at home.
Everyone in the blacksmith shop and Tang Family were quiet, causing some of the people who wanted to watch the show to be chaotic to the point where they were disappointed.
As time passed, the heated discussion slowly died down.
"Pavilion Master, Clan Elder Mu Kui, Tang Family has finally made a move!" At dusk, on the top floor of Divine Weapon Pavilion, Lu Yao hurried in and said to Qing Ye and Mu Kui who were sitting cross-legged with a face full of smiles.
"Oh? "What's going on?"
Qing Ye's eyes lit up.
This was already the ninth day since Tang Huan and Tang Family clashed in the martial arts arena, but Tang Family still had not made a move. This caused her to be unable to help but waver, wondering if Tang Huan was wrong. Who would have thought that just as the ten-day time limit was about to come, they would finally receive news from the Tang Family.
Lu Yao said mysteriously: "Just five days ago, someone used three 'Tai Bai Stones' to exchange for a large number of high grade gems from the Gem Store s of the Star Sea, Flowing Flower and Spirit Feather Merchant Guild."
"Why did you only learn about the news five days ago?" Qing Ye and Mu Kui looked at each other, both of them feeling somewhat suspicious.
"That's because this happened in the Heavenly Forging City, not the Furious Waves City." Lu Yao snickered.
"Heavenly Forging City?"
Qing Ye was startled, immediately revealing a look of understanding from the depths of her beautiful eyes.
Mu Kui also came to his senses, and muttered: "Lu Yao, are you certain that this was done by Tang Family?"
Lu Yao immediately replied: "The person who did this, was not from the Tang Family, but an expert from the Mei Family. Today, he has arrived at the Furious Waves City."
"So that's how it is."
"Tang Family is really cunning, she did not stay in Furious Waves City to exchange for gems, but chose to run to Heavenly Forging City instead. She did not even need to be from her own family, but used the people from the Mei Family, and was almost fooled by them."
The distance between Furious Waves City and himself was a thousand miles, it was only a few days' travel. In ten days' time, it was more than enough for him to make a round trip.
"Metal type gems like the 'Tai Bai Stones' are considered top quality gems. One is priced at over 30 million gold coins, and it's also priceless. Unless it's absolutely necessary, very few people would use the 'Tai Bai Stones' to exchange for high-grade gems." Mu Kui slowly said.
"I never thought that there would be three 'Tai Bai Stones' hidden in the Tang Family. Such a Heavenly Jewel, even in the Tang Family, I'm afraid it would be considered as a family heirloom."
Qing Ye smiled as he nodded his head, and then said with some surprise, "However, two 'Taibai stones' can be exchanged for a high enough level gem. Why would Tang Family want three 'Taibai stones'?" Without waiting for Mu Kui and his response, she suddenly clapped, "Confusing?"
"That must be it."
Mu Kui nodded his head and smiled. In an instant, his expression darkened, "It's only two hundred and eighty high grade gems, with Tang Family's family background, to the extent of needing to use the 'White Stone', there might really be a problem …" His voice paused for a bit, then Mu Kui ordered, "Lu Yao, go and check again. In these few months, whether Tang Family has made any big movements while paying the bill or not."
"Yes, I will go now." Lu Yao's expression straightened as he retreated in response.
"So you're saying that it was really Tang Family's doing?" Once Lu Yao left, Qing Ye couldn't help but ask in astonishment.
"The probability is extremely high. After a few days, you will know after seeing the results of Lu Yao's investigation."
Mu Kui gave a light snort and said in a deep voice, "However, even if Tang Family has made a huge movements in his wealth during this period of time, it would be impossible to catch evidence of the transaction between Tang Family and the 'Secluded Night Divine Palace'. "There is no evidence. This is still just our speculation."
"Even so, that's enough."
Anger flashed through Qing Ye's eyes, "Tang Family's guts are really too big."
Mu Kui laughed coldly: "Tang Family and Tang Huan are like fire and water. With the talent that Tang Huan has displayed, if he doesn't die soon, he will step into the realm of Stage Nine Martial Saint in the future and become a Weapon Refining Grand Master. If that's really the case, for Tang Family, this will be a huge calamity, and instead of waiting for his clan to be annihilated in the future, we might as well take the risk and fight right now. As long as we kill Tang Huan, for Tang Family, this huge hidden danger will be eliminated. "
"The Tang Family did a good job. Did he really think that Tang Huan was that easy to kill?" Qing Ye curled his lips, "However, since 'Secluded Night Divine Palace' has already accepted the mission of assassinating Tang Huan, even if he fails once, he would not give up so easily. I still have to advise Tang Huan to head to Heavenly Forging City as soon as possible."
If it was so easy to persuade, he would have been in Heavenly Forging City a few months ago. " Mu Kui shook his head and laughed bitterly.
Hearing him say that, Qing Ye also felt helpless. She stayed silent for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly said: "That's right, Clan Elder, why were you looking for me just now?"
"Qing Ye, do you remember the Human Clan Ranker that was heavily injured in the Two Realms Plain back then?" Mu Kui regained his senses and smiled.
"Of course I do." Qing Ye was slightly startled, and then, she couldn't conceal the pleasant surprise she had as she cried out, "Could it be … You already have news of him? "
"There is indeed a bit of an idea."
Mu Kui said with a smile, "For nearly sixty years, all the Weapon Refining Grand Master s, whether they had logged in before or not, had been checked once, and none of them matched that person. Thus, the scope of screening had been expanded to those Weapon Refining Grand Master s from sixty years ago, or even a hundred years ago. The Human Clan Ranker must be one of those three. "
"Which three?"
Qing Ye looked at Mu Kui anxiously. That Human Clan Ranker's background was a complete mystery. After the battle of Two Realms Plain, there had been no trace of him again, which made countless people even more curious about him. Now, there was finally hope for his identity, which made Qing Ye a little excited.
"One is called Ou Xie."
Mu Kui said smilingly, "A hundred years ago, His Majesty, the Honorable Sacred Emperor Shanhe, could be considered to be the number one Weapon Refining Grand Master. Ou Xie was second only to him, and he had assisted His Majesty in forging many Divine Armament.
"The other is Yan Wuji, who was also an extremely powerful Weapon Refining Grand Master over a hundred years ago. Around sixty years ago, he once showed his face in Origin Continent."
He was a Weapon Refining Grand Master who suddenly rose to prominence in the Glory Continent after the death of the Sacred Emperor and Ou Xie's disappearance. However, it had only been a little more than ten years, and I have not heard of any news of him. The size of the bodies of these three people are different from the body of the expert from Two Realms Plain. However, it is extremely easy for Stage Nine Martial Saint to change his body.
"Ou Xie, Yan Wuji, Wu Zhu..." Qing Ye whispered.
"..."
