662 I Am Mu Li (2/2)

His task was very simple. All he needed to do was move the items inside the wooden buckets to the forges. The forgemasters at them would add the materials into the forges according to the amount they needed.

However, every time Happy got close to the sword pools, the heat wave that came charging at his face would make him feel suffocated, and his mood would drop.

Fortunately, his Nine Yang Divine Skill could circulate at will.

”Mu Li, come here.”

Once Happy left Sword Pool 68, he heard a familiar voice calling to him. That voice entered his ears only, and it belonged to Ten Thousand Swords.

Happy did not turn his head around to look and continued walking to his next spot.

”Not bad, you didn't show any flaws in your performance just now. Judging by your actions, you should have become used to things in Sword Crafting Hall. This is good.”

Ten Thousand Swords seemed to have been observing Happy from the shadows.

His voice traveled into his ears again.

”But you still have to be careful. Heaven Crystal's repairs aren't in the main hall of Sword Crafting Hall. Did you see that place the Sword Sect disciples, the mighty northern clansmen, and the Nangong Clan are guarding? There's an entrance over there, and it leads to a secret underground sword crafting room.”

Happy's heart trembled. He quickly spread out his spiritual senses and soon found an entrance guarded by more than ten Inaction Realm martial artists dozens of feet to the east.

”There's a unique underground sword crafting room there. It's the place that the mighty northern clansmen use when they create divine weapons!”

Ten Thousand Swords wore the disguise of a normal Sword Crafting Hall disciples, and he followed after Happy while explaining things for him. ”The repairs for Heaven Crystal are nearing their end. Those people showed up during the day, and now, they've used up quite a lot of their qi.”

Happy frowned. He quickly noticed that the entrance to the underground sword crafting room surrounded by the group of people was encircled by a few large sword pools, and the temperature around in place seemed to be much higher than in the hall.

Each person's face was an abnormal shade of red. Their breathing was quick, and there were even a few people who had already sat down cross-legged to fight against the evaporation of their qi due to the extremely high heat.

Happy said nothing.

While he added charcoal to the forges nearby, his thoughts raced. 'This environment will clearly benefit the northern clan most. It'll be very dangerous if the Sword Sect elites want to steal Heaven Crystal away from the mighty northern clan.'

Soon, Happy emptied the wooden buckets in his hands. He had to leave the core before he could return with another two buckets. There were nearly one thousand forges in Sword Crafting Hall, and they used up charcoal very quickly, so the disciples had to ensure a steady supply of it at all times.

While on his way back, Happy found a chance to walk side by side with Ten Thousand Swords.

A person with six hundred qi points could transmit voices privately, and Happy moved his lips slightly to send a message.

”There are plenty of people among the northern clan. It won't be easy for Sword Sect to attack. How are we going to steal Heaven Crystal?”

At the same time, Happy also told Ten Thousand Swords about Torn Army.

Ten Thousand Swords was silent for a few seconds. ”We never thought about leaving alive after we entered Heaven Shaker Fortress, but we will definitely not let Sword Sect have their way. Brother Happy, I hope that you will take revenge for us.”

”What do you mean?” Happy's expression changed. He could sense an incredibly great will for death in Ten Thousand Swords' tone.

”With Sword Sect's methods and preparations, they will definitely have a solid plan. We'll wait and act according to the situation.”

Once he finished speaking, Ten Thousand Swords walked past Happy to lift the wooden bucket to his left.

Happy quickly cast a glance at Ten Thousand Swords' back. With slight unease, he continued doing what Mu Li should do.

Sword Crafting Hall continued having heat waves surge upward.
