Chapter 305 - Heavenly Forging City
"Retreat!"
A burst of mocking laughter came from the front of the smithy, and the next thing that entered his ears was the screams of the horses before they died. The hawk-nosed man"s face turned even more unsightly, and he gnashed his teeth as he let out a low growl.
"General, they came out." A young man in front of the blacksmith shop hurriedly said.
"Brothers, don"t stop them! Let them go!"
Tang Xiong laughed out loud. The ground around him was already littered with the corpses of horses. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood. All of the horses that the group had ridden had been slaughtered.
Upon hearing Tang Xiong"s words, the soldiers who had wanted to intercept him were even more astonished.
Those people were obviously trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate Tang Huan.
Everyone originally thought that Tang Xiong wanted to catch a turtle in a jar after letting them in. After all, with Tang Huan"s strength, those people wouldn"t be able to kill him in a short while. However, he had not expected that Tang Xiong would not give the order to attack after those people had barged into the blacksmith"s shop.
Now that those people had come out and Tang Xiong actually wanted to let them go, was the Lord Thousand Generals confused?
As they watched the twenty people run away, everyone gathered in front of the blacksmith"s shop, looking anxious and furious. Many of them had discontented expressions on their faces.
"Why do you think this guy came out so quickly?" Tang Xiong didn"t mind and laughed loudly.
"Why?" Everyone was startled, but they were also extremely suspicious. Those people had just rushed in and jumped over the wall not long after. There were no sounds of fighting coming from within. In such a short amount of time, even a Martial Lord of the eighth step would probably not be able to kill Tang Huan.
"Because Brother Tang Huan is not here at all."
Tang Xiong laughed, "On the morning of the second day after we forged that weapon, Brother Tang Huan had already left Furious Waves City and headed towards Heavenly Forging City."
When he said this, the surrounding people were all dumbfounded, staring at each other in disbelief.
"How could this be? Lord Thousand Generals, in the past few days, you have been sending in a lot of food every day." An armored man said.
"All of the food has been eaten by this general." Tang Xiong patted his stomach as he smiled complacently.
"Every night, there"s a light inside." another young man shouted.
"The lights in there have never been extinguished. When this general went in to deliver the food, I also added some lamp oil."
Tang Xiong laughed even more complacently, "Staying here for a few more days was originally just to cover for the Tang Family brothers. I never thought that a bunch of idiots like them would actually come out, laughing to death for this general. "Haha, it was this general who decided on this brilliant plan. What do you think of it, brothers?"
"According to what the Tang Huan brothers said, this is Ming Xiu or some kind of trestle, or some sort of secret transportation … d.a.m.n it, no matter what, everyone just knows that Brother Tang Huan is almost at Heavenly Forging City now. Everyone has been on guard for so many days, it"s just to get a good night"s sleep. "
"Those fellows are all Stage Seven Martial Master. There is no need for us to risk our lives against them. Leave things that fight against them to the experts of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. "
"..."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. When they saw Tang Xiong"s complacent appearance, they were even more speechless. This kind of plan was very common, okay?
A farce of a.s.sa.s.sination had finally ended amidst the laughter of the soldiers.
However, on the morning of the next day, the news of the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on Tang Huan still quickly spread through the Furious Waves City, because in the west side of Furious Waves City, Elder Mu Kui and the others had intercepted the a.s.sa.s.sins from the Stage Seven Martial Master. After killing a few of them, the rest of them, seeing that there was no hope of escaping, all of them committed suicide without any hesitation.
It was only at this time that the numerous Martial Warriors s suddenly realized that the usually quiet Divine Weapon Pavilion was actually hiding so many Martial Lord s of the eighth step.
It was said that during the battle in the west of the city, there were archers as well.
Of course, those archers had only been able to detect their whereabouts, but they had never shot an arrow at Mu Kui and the others. Even though the twenty Stage Seven Martial Master s were constantly being killed, they did not help.
Because of this, Mu Kui and the rest immediately guessed that this a.s.sa.s.sination was initiated by the "Secluded Night Divine Palace".
This was because there was a rule in the "Secluded Night Divine Palace" that the "Ghost Magic Arrow" could only be used on targets that were prepared to be a.s.sa.s.sinated. This was because the refinement process of this thing was extremely complicated, and one would be missing one each time.
However, the most interesting thing to the audience was not the ident.i.ty of the killers, but rather, Tang Huan"s movements.
The main purpose of the twenty a.s.sa.s.sins, who disguised themselves as Great Tang Empire soldiers and broke into the blacksmith shop, was to create chaos and create a suitable opportunity for the archers of the "Secluded Night Divine Palace". It was a pity that they did not manage to escape, as Tang Huan had already left the Furious Waves City at some point in time.
Just as everyone in the Furious Waves City was guessing, a horse carriage arrived at the front of the Heavenly Forging City that was 500 kilometers west of the Furious Waves City.
The biggest city in the Glory Continent was none other than the Heavenly Forging City.
This city was situated on a vast plain, and the mountain range closest to the city was over ten Li away. The mountain range formed a semicircle arc, tightly surrounding the north, west and south sides of the Heavenly Forging City.
The walls of the Heavenly Forging City were not high, it was only a few metres tall, and could not even be compared to the newly built Dragon Spring Town.
However, the city had the t.i.tle of "Glory Holy City" not only because it was the capital of the Glory Empire, but also because of its heritage.
It was said that the Heavenly Forging City was the most ancient city in the history of the Glory Continent.
In the Furious Waves City, for example, the Tang Family, the Gu Family, and the Lu Family, which had existed for hundreds of years, could be considered a huge clan. In the Heavenly Forging City, there were at least ten large families that had thousands of years of history.
From this, one could see the deep roots of this Heavenly Forging City.
"Heavenly Forging City is so lively."
The carriage had already slowed down. After the curtain was lifted, a little girl who looked like she was carved from jade directly lay down on the window seat and jumped out. She immediately attracted the attention of the pa.s.sersby, startling the middle-aged man who was driving in front and quickly pulling on the reins.
"Uncle, let"s stop here. We"ll enter the city ourselves." A helpless voice came from the carriage.
"Alright."
The middle-aged man shook the reins and stopped the carriage by the side of the road.
A moment later, a black-robed youth came out of the carriage. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face and handsome facial features. His exposed skin had a similar l.u.s.ter to his skin.
The scabbard was black as ink, but the hilt of the sword had a dark red l.u.s.ter to it. On his shoulder, it seemed as if he was carrying a long spear and spear type weapon, the entire weapon was wrapped in a black cloth, concealing the light.
