Chapter 87: The Change in the Capital, the Departure of Green Lotus Princess

“It makes sense. How can a person achieve success in both pill and weapon refinement? He doesn’t have the energy either. The strange movements of the Sword Mountain had nothing to do with Gu Xi. Look, he hasn’t been able to refine a weapon even after a few days.”

“This pile of scrap metal is useless.”

“The result of Green Lotus Princess’s competition has been decided. Please announce it now. There’s no need to extend the time for this kid.”

To put it bluntly, they could not wait for Gu Xi any longer. After all, there was still a competition to come.

Moreover, everyone already had almost no hope for this pile of scrap metal.

Green Lotus Princess looked at Gu Xi from the carrige. He looked like was still in the midst of forging his weapon. A hint of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes. Could it be that she had made a mistake earlier? There was nothing special about this kid at all.

Just as she was about to speak, the jade pendant on her body suddenly lit up. This was a method used by the imperial family to send messages.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll return immediately.”

Just as the others were requesting Green Lotus Princes sto announce the results of the competition, the Luan birds cried out in unison. They spread their wings and were about to fly. The carriage once again floated in midair.

“I’m sorry, everyone. There’s an urgent matter in the Capital. Wait for me to return. I will announce the results of the competition then.”

After saying this, the Luan birds soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a few Dragon Transformation stage experts also left with Green Lotus Princess.

The super large sects and Sect Masters had all received some news and left together with Green Lotus Princess, causing everyone to be at a loss.

Just what had happened that made Green Lotus Princess leave in such a hurry without even announcing the results of the competition?

Several great experts had left, and the remaining people in the arena started to become absent-minded. No one cared about Gu Xi anymore.

One had to know that the Capital’s Dao Conference could be considered a top priority. The current situation could not help but cause people’s imaginations to run wild.

“I don’t know what has happened, but even Green Lotus Princess, who is hosting the competition, has been alarmed. I heard that some time ago, people from the Demon Region appeared in the Capital, and even Mei Qianmeng came. Could it be because of them?”

“The people of the Demon Region have lived in the Desolate North for a long time and haven’t appeared in the world for many years. Now that they suddenly appeared in the Capital, it’s indeed quite abnormal.”

“They didn’t come for the Flawless-quality medicinal pill of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.”

“You’re too naive. The medicinal pill may only be an excuse, but it’s not their fundamental goal. Who knows what they want to do.”

The hearts of the people in the arena fluttered as they discussed animatedly. The weapon refining competition had long been left behind. Moreover. The outcome of the competition was already decided. Whether Gu Xi could refine a weapon or not was no longer important.

Even the people of Supreme Purity Sect felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Gu Xi’s lonely figure, the unchanging smelting furnace, and the iron block.

Bai Haoyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this situation. “It seems that we overestimated this kid. We really thought that he had some ability. He wasted so much effort here.”

Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu did not reply. One of them was staring at the unchanging iron in the smelting furnace, while the other was daydreaming. No one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Haoyu rubbed his nose and felt a little bored. “If you guys aren’t leaving, I’m leaving. I’ll just wait for Green Lotus Princess to come back and announce the results.”

Ou Yechen retracted his complicated gaze. He had an indescribable emotion in his heart. “Why didn’t the Sword Mountain do anything unusual before? Why did it happen just as he was preparing to forge his weapon?”

This was something he could not have thought of.

“What else could it be? It must be a coincidence. If he really had the ability, he would have refined his weapon long ago. Why wait until now?”

“But there aren’t so many coincidences in this world.”

“Look, he hasn’t even completed the most basic steps. It’s impossible to forge a weapon like this. Don’t tell me you really want to stay here forever.”

Bai Haoyu had just finished speaking, but he did not expect the slap to come so quickly.

The flame of Gu Xi’s smelting furnace suddenly went out, and the iron inside had already disappeared.

Those who noticed the change thought that it was caused by Gu Xi. They could not help but click their tongues and say, “He even extinguished the furnace flame halfway through the refinement. That shows just how inexperienced he is, right?”

However, someone noticed the difference. He shook his head and said, “That’s not right. It seems that he succeeded in refining a weapon.”

However, it was strange. Everything was too calm and too sudden. Everyone was thinking thatGu Xi did not have the ability at all.

It was probably because everyone had been guessing why Green Lotus Princess had left in a hurry. No one had noticed Gu Xi, so they did not even know when he had completed his forging.

“What is this thing?”

Looking at the thing in the smelting furnace, many people revealed puzzled expressions.

It was a few feet long and shaped like a sword. However, its entire body was pitch black. It did not even seem to have a blade. If it was taken out to cut cabbages, it might not even be able to cut it.

“You’re telling me that this thing is a sword?”

“Other people make swords, and they make amazing weapons, but what the hell is he making? The kitchen knife on the chopping board is probably sharper than this thing. Is he asking for humiliation?”

“If I stick my head out and take a hit from this weapon, it won’t even leave a mark.”

The crowd was speechless. They had seen weapons that were ridiculous, but they have never seen something like this before.
