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.
