2080: Leave

Leave

Su Li paused and did not continue, but she pointed to her own tomb. "Back when Tang Ke set up these two tombs, he specifically left a trap. If someone comes in, the trap will be automatically activated, and it will forcefully steal other people's force."0

"This also means that this would be the same for whoever who came here?" Chu Liuyue tightly furrowed her brows. If that were the case, that is too overboard! It's fine since it's me who came in today, but if it were someone else, they might not be able to escape this ordeal so luckily.

Su Li nodded and comforted, "But don't worry. Although I didn't know of this trap's existence beforehand, all these years, you should be the only one that came in other than him."

Chu Liuyue first heaved a sigh of relief before her expression became strange. Why does this sound like Tang Ke has been waiting for me since the start?

Su Li sighed and continued, "He should know that the Celestial Shield had already recognized you as its owner, so he let you in."

Actually, that was what Chu Liuyue thought. "This means… only the Celestial Shield's owner can help you?"

"You can say that too." Su Li laughed bitterly. "After all, it was all thanks to the Celestial Shield that I died and that he was severely injured back then."

Chu Liuyue was shocked. "Didn't the two of you have your competition at Peach Blossom Dock? What has that got to do with the Celestial Shield?"

Su Li paused and looked up at Chu Liuyue. "Ms. Shangguan, you might not know, but Tang Ke and I were still supreme Armory Refinement Masters back then. The reason why we could break through and each produce five holy weapons was actually… all due to the Celestial Shield."

"The Celestial Shield suddenly presented itself back then, and we both felt that the item was extraordinary, so we fought for it. During this process, the Celestial Shield's force spread everywhere and caused Peach Blossom Dock to be chaotic. In this twist of fate, the Yuan instruments we crafted back then were further refined and became holy weapons."

Chu Liuyue's pupils narrowed!

Su Li's words were a shocking revelation!

"This means… The reason why Senior Tang Ke and you could produce the ten holy weapons was that you borrowed the force from the Celestial Shield?!"

Dimples surfaced on Su Li's lips, and she sighed lightly. "Producing a holy weapon needs countless amounts of force and energy. Besides, we were still supreme Armory Refinement Masters back then. Without heaven-defying force, how could we produce five weapons each?"

…

In Messy Stone Forest.

In the blink of an eye, half a month quickly passed. However, the door had no movements at all.

Everything looked exactly the same as before, without any changes.

Some people started to slowly get frustrated. "Such a long time has passed. Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Pfft, that's the legacy of an Armory Refinement Saint! How can half a month be enough? If you can't wait, you can just leave yourself. Why are you grumbling?"

"You—I just found it weird. I don't mean anything else! It's fine that Shangguan Yue hasn't come out, but why hasn't Rong Xiu done anything? He doesn't need such a long time to receive Tang Ke's legacy, right!?"

"Who knows… Don't forget that the Sharp-Edged Halberd has already recognized him as its owner! That's the holy weapon Tang Ke personally produced! Even if it's just caring about this item, Tang Ke would like him more, right? Perhaps he's waiting for Shangguan Yue inside…"

All sorts of discussions came in.

After some time, the crowd could not help but have all sorts of guesses.

Shangguan Jing listened at the side and stroked his beard. He looked at the tightly-shut door with deep thoughts.

Actually, he wasn't worried about the duo's safety and was curious about their progress inside. If Yue'er can really receive Tang Ke's legacy, she will have another trump card in the future.

At this point, a sharp whistle sound came from the skies.

The crowd all looked up but didn't see anything.

However, Wei Ze—who was in the corner the entire time—suddenly stood up. He looked up and knitted his brows.

Someone from the Wei family came.

Wei Ze hesitated for a moment before walking out. "Wei family members, follow me."

Upon hearing this, the few family members followed.

Hearing the noise, quite a few people turned around to take a look. It seems like Wei Ze is planning to leave!

"Master Wei, you're leaving just like that?" someone asked loudly. "But they haven't come out yet!"

Wei Ze paused in his track. "That whistle is used by my Wei family to send information. I have to go and take a look."

The crowd then understood. It seems like the matter was pretty serious. If not, Wei Ze wouldn't just leave.

In the previous battle, he won second place and could almost receive Tang Ke's legacy.

To say that he was convinced? They could not tell.

Everyone felt that he would persist until the two of them came out. But, since there were things to handle on the Wei family's end, other people naturally could not say anything.

Wei Ze continued to bring those people to leave.

Perhaps because Tang Ke had already chosen the person to receive his legacy… When Wei Ze and the rest left, there were no accidents, and the entire journey was smooth.

Very quickly, their figures disappeared behind the many rocks.

Most of the people quickly retracted their gazes.

Only Shangguan Jing stared in the direction Wei Ze left for quite some time.

The people at the side asked strangely, "Shangguan, what are you looking at?"

Shangguan Jing said, "Nothing. I just felt that Wei Ze left very suddenly."

"Didn't he say that someone from the Wei family invited him over? Messy Stone Forest is the Wei family's territory after all, and he has been here for quite some time. Perhaps something really happened that requires him to personally go back and handle it?"

Shangguan Jing did not speak, still feeling that something was amiss. Wei Ze came to Messy Stone Forest this time for Tang Ke's tomb. The people from the Wei family should know this. Since this is so, Wei Ze should have long made sufficient arrangements and preparations.

What is so urgent that could be more important than Tang Ke's tomb?

The people from the Wei family came just like that. Didn't they think that perhaps Wei Ze was receiving Tang Ke's legacy? Unless… they knew that Wei Ze had nothing much to do at this point.

Even though Wei Ze stayed here the entire time after he left, nobody can guarantee that he did not contact the outside world. Besides, when he left, he seemed rather hurried and anxious.

Shangguan Jing thought deeply for a long time and could not get an answer, so he suppressed his doubts.

…

On the other end, Wei Ze successfully walked out of Messy Stone Forest.

When he took the last step out, he turned around to take a look.

Messy Stone Forest was quiet and silent. Nobody could imagine what had happened during this period of time.

"Master." An elder was already waiting outside. When he saw Wei Ze come, he immediately went forward.
