1284 He Is on Our Side! (2/2)

”Little brat, don't worry, she is hiding in a small house to heal her wounds and she is very safe now! We left those footprints to draw away possible enemies in order to protect her!” Buttface replied with a smile.

Xu Que let out a sigh of relief. He frowned at the place in front of them that was full of flames and noises like an erupting volcano and asked, ”What in h*ll did you do in that place? What is happening over there?”

”Nothing! I was really unlucky for I have just lost a Divine Artifact!” Buttface put on a long face and said regretfully.

”A...Divine Artifact? F*ck!” Xu Que was dumbfounded and anxious to punch Buttface to death. It turned out that Buttface and Duan Jiude were on a mission to obtain a Divine Artifact. They had come to this place secretly, without telling the truth to Xu Que. Now it was quite obvious that they had failed to obtain that Divine Artifact.

”That Divine Artifact was something used by the Deities that was much better than all the Celestial Artifacts!” Xu Que thought to himself and felt like his heart was bleeding. If Buttface had only told him the truth, they might have obtained that Divine Artifact!

”Nonsense! It doesn't exist at all. It was ruined a long time ago! There is no way to extract it. I almost lost my life in there!” Duan Jiude said as he rolled his eyes. After such a narrow escape, he still was recovering from the fear in his heart. Mo Junchen also said as he shook his head regretfully, ”We thought we would have the opportunity to see the legendary Divine Artifact! It is a pity that it has already been ruined. There was a shape, but, when we approached it, it just disappeared in front of us!”

”Sh*t! What the h*ll did you find there?” Xu Que asked, with wide eyes. He was totally confused because he couldn't understand at all what had happened from the words uttered by Buttface, Duan Jiude, and Mo Junchen.

”It was the Heaven and Earth Furnace, which was the Soulbound Divine Artifact of a Ninth-grade King Refiner in ancient times. We thought we had found a precious item, but we didn't expect that it had already been ruined!” Buttface said regretfully.

Then Duan Jiude continued, shaking his head, ”We obtained an ancient scroll, which was given to us by a man who managed to get out of this place alive. He said he saw a Ninth-grade King Refiner die in this place. The Heaven and Earth Furnace also fell into the ruins. However, this man who told us the story was busy running for his life and didn't have time to take away the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Then, when the man had escaped from here, he tried to heal his wounds in a secret place. But his wounds were too serious and cost him his life ten days later. Before his death, he recorded his regrets in the ancient scroll! So we came here to help that man conquer his regrets! And we never cast our greedy eyes on that Divine Artifact at all!”

”Nonsense! Tell me something about the Divine Artifact!” Xu Que said.

”We managed to reach the other side of the altar with the help of Guardian Mo. Then we found this place with difficulty. It turned out that the furnace had been ruined for a long time, and there was only a shell of it left. When we opened the door and walked into the house to get that shell, the Heaven and Earth Furnace exploded in our faces!” Duan Jiude said, shaking his head.

Mo Junchen sighed. ”Alas! It is really a pity! Although the furnace was ruined, the flames in it are quite precious! That Ninth-grade King Refiner saved his soulbound divine flames in that furnace. The flames that have been nurtured in that furnace for so many years are escaping! What a pity!”

”Can't we grab the flames?” Xu Que asked. The soulbound divine flames of a Ninth-grade King Refiner were very precious. They were even more powerful than Mystical Fires. They could melt all kinds of divine materials and even burn a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven into ashes immediately. After all, a cultivator who had reached the Ninth-grade King Refiner stage was very close to a deity or already a deity whose Cultivation Stage was several stages higher than the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! Mo Junchen was just a First-grade King Refiner, the weakest one among the King Refiners. He could only forge a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact at most--no way he could rival a Ninth-grade King Refiner at all!

”It is impossible!” Mo Junchen shook his head and said with a wry smile, ”We can't take away a divine fire like this unless we also have a high-grade Divine Artifact!” Then Mo Junchen sighed again as he looked at the fire with regret, ”What a pity! If I had any precious materials with me, I would try to forge something while this divine fire is still flickering!”

”Eh? What did you say? You can forge equipment with this divine fire, right?” Xu Que's eyes lit up after hearing that. The next moment, he waved his hand and took out a big rod from his crotch. It was the broken halberd he had obtained from Liu Wenfeng in Lost City. The halberd, which was made from Purple Sky Age Metal and was full of Terrifying Spiritual Qi, was a precious weapon!
