Chapter 692 - 692 652 The Seal on the Sword _1

692: Chapter 652: The Seal on the Sword _1 692: Chapter 652: The Seal on the Sword _1 Liang Danian, having obtained the precious sword, hurried back to the Divine Weapons Smithy.

As soon as he entered the main gate, he saw Wan Ning waiting there for him.

“Pavilion Master, how did it go?”

He stepped forward and asked.

“I’ve got the weapon.

Take a closer look—is this really the Soul Terminating Sword mentioned in that book?”

Wan Ning stepped forward and took the sword sheath from his hands.

He then drew the bronze sword from it.

A layer of bronze covered the blade tightly, leaving virtually no gaps visible.

“If you just look at the blade, you won’t be able to tell anything; the seal on it is very tight, without a single flaw!”

“It’s really strange, what kind of person would seal this precious sword?”

Liang Danian speculated, “Do you think it’s possible that the sword was too powerful for anyone to control, so its original owner sealed it?”

“That’s possible.”

Wan Ning nodded slightly, looked up at Liang Danian, and asked, “By the way, why didn’t that man come?

Did you directly take the sword from him?”

“I just said I’d take it back to appraise it for him and to save him the trouble, I didn’t let him come over himself.”

“Haven’t we already appraised the result?

Can’t we just tell him directly?”

Wan Ning asked somewhat bewilderedly, clearly unaware of Liang Danian’s intentions.

Liang Danian shook his head helplessly and sighed, “You really don’t know anything other than forging swords.”

“I found an excuse to take the sword and told him I would deliver it back in three to four days.”

“When the time comes for him to collect it, I can just brush him off with some excuse.”

Wan Ning suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Liang Danian with some disbelief.

“Pavilion Master, are we…

planning to swallow that man’s sword?”

“Nonsense, such a fine sword—wouldn’t it be a pity not to keep it?

You just said it yourself, this sword is a top-grade immortal artifact of the Kunlun Domain.

If we could break the seal, it would certainly be an exceptional Divine Weapon!”

“If I could posses this precious sword, wouldn’t my strength reach its peak?”

“At that time, I could count as a significant figure in the entire Kunlun Domain.”

He smiled proudly, already imagining the life he would lead once he reached the pinnacle.

The concept of an Immortal Artifact was something he had heard of before, but he had never seen one.

And his Divine Weapons Smithy had never received even a single Immortal Artifact, let alone forge one.

Perhaps only the Divine Weapons Main Smithy had the fortune to acquire a few Immortal Artifacts…

“Pavilion Master, they won’t accept such an excuse.

They are from the Zhan family; if we offend them, we’re bound to have a conflict with them!”

Wan Ning said with a worried face, seemingly feeling that this was not good.

“What are we afraid of them for?

I’ll just say the precious sword was lost.

I’ll tell them, after the appraisal, that the sword was just a piece of junk, the worst possible grade.

A bit of compensation in gold and this matter will be over.”

Wan Ning still felt uneasy, “Are you sure this won’t cause any problems?”

“Just relax.

When I was leaving, that guy even threatened me, saying if he didn’t see the sword in a few days, he would wipe us out or something.”

“Just a kid bragging—who believes that?

With our grand Divine Weapons Smithy, are we afraid of one failure?”

Liang Danian said with great confidence.

Wan Ning sighed helplessly after hearing this.

He was just working here.

The Divine Weapons Smithy in Dubhe City was just a branch, and in this branch, the highest rank of a swordsmith was Grade 7.

As a Grade 5 Swordsmith, he was considered a mature and experienced master here.

But after all, he was just a swordsmith, not the real manager.

Faced with Liang Danian’s choice, he could only helplessly accept it.

“Now, go and remove the seal from this sword.

I want to see if this is truly the Soul Terminating Sword from the weapon registry!”

He handed the bronze sword over to Wan Ning, instructing him to remove the seal.

However, Wan Ning encountered a difficulty; although he could tell that the precious sword was sealed,

he had absolutely no clue how to unseal it, which made him feel quite troubled.

“Pavilion Master, I really don’t know how to unseal it.

This is the first time I’ve ever encountered such a situation.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Danian frowned and stared at Wan Ning.

“What did you say?

You don’t know how to unseal it?

Then what use is this sword to me?”

“If it can’t be unsealed, isn’t it just a broken sword?”

Wan Ning nodded reluctantly, “That’s right, if it can’t be unsealed, it definitely won’t display the true strength of this precious sword.

Pavilion Master, you must understand, I’m just a Grade 5 Swordsmith.

How could I possibly remove the seal on such a top-grade immortal weapon?”

“What should I do then?

I can’t just waste this weapon!”

Liang Danian replied with a sense of grievance, having gone through a lot of trouble to acquire the precious sword, only to find he couldn’t use it.

It was incredibly frustrating.

“Otherwise, let’s hand over the precious sword to the Divine Weapons Main Smithy.

They should have top-tier swordsmiths there, perhaps they can unseal the sword.”

Liang Danian’s face turned cold immediately, “Hand it over to them, only to give away the treasure for nothing?”

“I can’t do such a thing.”

“Wan Ning, you go study some ancient texts thoroughly, see if you can find a special method.

If you can unseal this sword, I promise you, everything in this Divine Weapons Smithy is yours for the taking!”

Wan Ning, although very troubled, still nodded reluctantly.

He knew Liang Danian was obstinate and would not give up until the end.

He could only agree for now, whether he could find a way to unseal it, he would have to leave it to fate.

However, asking a Grade 5 Swordsmith to meddle with an Immortal Artifact was indeed asking too much of him.

…

Meanwhile, at Lu Chuan’s side, after sending out the precious sword, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang had been very worried.

“Can we get that sword back?

I have a bad feeling about this.”

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan and asked.

“Don’t worry about that anymore.

I’m giving them two days.

Tomorrow night, I’ll go there directly.

If they can’t produce the bronze sword, I’ll kill them all without exception.”

“If they dare to send the bronze sword anywhere else, I’ll show no mercy.”

“Regardless, the fact that Liang Danian went to such lengths to seek us out indicates that they’ve seen something in that bronze sword that changed their minds.”

“Perhaps, I might actually learn something from them.”

After Lu Chuan finished his analysis, he stopped dwelling on it.

Now all he needed to do was wait until tomorrow night to personally visit the Divine Weapons Smithy.
