2081 Summoning
“Master, is everything okay?” As Wei Kehan asked concernedly, he quickly sized Wei Ze up.
When he detected that the latter’s aura was slightly weak, he instantly became nervous. It seems that things weren’t as successful as imagined.
Wei Ze furrowed his brows. “Tang Ke’s legacy was snatched by Shangguan Yue.”
Wei Kehan’s heart sank. “Shangguan Yue? The one from Peach Blossom Dock?”
This name was too famous recently. It was hard not to know her.
“How can that be? Didn’t you have Senior Tang Ke’s Sharp-Edged Halberd? Besides, you still have—”
Wei Ze’s expression suddenly turned cold as he glanced at Wei Kehan in warning.
Wei Kehan immediately fell silent.
Wei Ze calmed himself down and said, “The Sharp-Edged Halberd has already recognized Rong Xiu as its owner. As for the rest… I can’t explain it in one or two sentences. Anyway, the result is out. There’s no use saying anything now.”
Wei Kehan was filled with shock and doubts. But seeing that the family head didn’t really want to speak further, he intelligently did not continue asking. “Mm… as long as you’re safe and sound.”
Wei Ze walked forward. “How’s the situation in the clan?”
“Master, don’t worry. After receiving your news, I came here by myself, and nobody discovered me.”
Wei Ze then nodded in satisfaction. “That’ll do.”
Hearing the duo’s conversation, the few people behind Wei Ze were all taken aback as they exchanged glances. Um… Master first informed Elder Wei Kehan and then came out?
Wei Kehan scanned the few people. “Master, these few…”
Upon hearing this, strong uneasiness overwhelmed the few of them. “Master—”
Wei Ze did not stop in his tracks. Without even turning around, his voice was cold and nonchalant. “Handle them cleanly. Just say that they died in Messy Stone Forest.”
“Yes!” Wei Kehan immediately acknowledged it and whipped his sleeves.
Those few people didn’t even have the time to beg for mercy, and their necks were twisted.
Blood splattered everywhere! Very quickly, the few of them fell to the ground and lost their breath.
Wei Kehan retrieved a tiny jade bottle and poured out some transparent and odorless liquid.
Those few people’s corpses quickly turned into puddles of dirty water that rapidly evaporated, not leaving a trace behind.
The series of actions was smooth and well-practiced; it was clearly not his first time.
After handling it, he rapidly went forward and followed Wei Ze.
The duo’s figures disappeared very quickly.
…
After an hour, the two of them arrived at a mountain peak outside Messy Stone Forest.
Wei Ze was very familiar with the route and went straight for the cave on the mountain. On the other hand, Wei Kehan hid his aura and was in charge of standing guard outside the cave.
Wei Ze walked all the way into the depths of the cave.
The further in he went, the darker it was. However, Wei Ze seemed like he had come many times before as he didn’t reduce his speed and went straight for the cave.
Patter.
Patter.
The sound of water landing could be heard.
Hearing this, Wei Ze was elated and hurriedly quickened his pace.
After turning the corner, a faint light surfaced.
A small lake appeared before him. That light came from a wood-shaped stalactite above the lake.
Water kept flowing down from above and eventually dripped into the lake.
Wei Ze heaved a sigh of relief. He then hurriedly went forward, retrieved the purplish-black hammer, and placed it in the middle of the lake.
Patter.
A drop of water coincidentally landed on the metal hammer.
The patterns on it gradually became clear.
Wei Ze could also feel the weakening force in his body receiving support. “Luckily…”
Luckily, I rushed back in time!
“Xiping, are you okay?” asked Wei Ze nervously.
After a moment, a young male voice came from the purplish-black metal hammer. “Don’t worry, Father. I’m fine.”
If Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue were here, they could definitely tell that this was Wei Xiping’s voice!
Upon hearing this, Wei Ze heaved a long sigh of relief. But thinking of whatever that happened earlier, his uneasy heart could not completely relax.
“It’s all my fault for being useless. I almost caused you to—”
“Father, it’s not your fault.” Wei Xiping’s voice sounded weak and had a few hints of cunningness. “It’s all those two people’s fault for being too scheming!”
If not, the person who received Tang Ke’s legacy should be my father and me! Now, our meticulous plans have been ruined!
Speaking of this, Wei Ze was filled with vengeance. “Those two people are indeed too resourceful… Xiping, during this period, just stay here and rest first. I feel like Rong Xiu has discovered something… You can also take this time to properly cultivate…”
“Father, don’t worry. I understand what you’re saying. Even though I couldn’t succeed this time, I absorbed quite a bit of lightning force. In no time, my skills will be strengthened.”
Wei Ze then truly relaxed. “Okay. During this time, I’ll guard you here. When Shangguan Yue and the rest come out from Messy Stone Forest, it won’t be too late for us to take revenge!”
…
...
The departure of Wei Ze and the rest did not affect the others much.
After they left, Messy Stone Forest quickly resumed its previous state.
The crowd started waiting again.
Such waiting periods were always long and torturous. However, they were too curious about Chu Liuyue’s circumstance, so they could only wait.
…
After Su Li finished talking, Chu Liuyue fell silent for a long time. I had never expected there to be such a huge secret behind the ten holy weapons! If all these weapons were produced with the force from the Celestial Shield, then… What about the Celestial Shield? What kind of existence is it?!
Su Li’s hand slowly swept across the tomb. The uneven engraved symbols were rough to touch.
“…Even though we produced five holy weapons each, we also paid a huge price for it. My physical body is damaged, and my soul is hanging by its last breath. Tang Ke’s situation might be better than mine, but setting up these two tombs also exhausted all his force.”
Chu Liuyue thought for a long while and finally asked, “Then… why did Senior Tang Ke split the Celestial Shield’s symbols into two and engrave them on the two tombs?”
Su Li replied, “Of course, it’s because… Only by doing this can we wait for the day the Celestial Shield recognizes its owner.”
She pointed at the three holy weapons. “Back then, the Celestial Shield’s force were split into two by us and respectively injected into those holy weapons. If you wish to awaken the Celestial Shield, you have to retract all of the force!”
