Human Clan Defender-Chapter 632 - s 19 to 22: 6th Stage of the True Body of Calamities, Resurrection of the Barbarian God (Four-in-One, Request for Monthly Tickets)_5

As for openly entering Great Qin territory, that was even more impossible. The Demon Saint was dead. If other Demon Evils were to enter, it would be no different from seeking their own demise.

In light of this, South Nether Prefecture was quite peaceful.

It wasn't just South Nether Prefecture; in fact, all prefectures in Great Qin were more or less the same. After news from Fallen Saint Pass spread, Demon Evils regarded Great Qin as they would a viper, not daring to come near.

"That's good. Without the calamity of Demon Evils, many losses can be reduced," Shen Changqing nodded.

Subsequently, Ji Tianlu said, "Although there have been no calamities from Demon Evils, some natural disasters have recently occurred in South Nether Prefecture. However, compared to the previous disasters, these have lessened considerably and have not caused too much impact."

"Mm." Shen Changqing acknowledged.

He was largely aware of the situation regarding the natural disasters.

This time, it was not only South Nether Prefecture that experienced natural disasters; various parts of Great Qin had also seen some occurrences.

According to Shen Changqing's guess, the emergence of these natural disasters was because Gu Xuanji had burned some of Great Qin's luck when dealing with the Ghost Saint.

However, the amount of luck burned was not substantial, so while natural disasters occurred, they weren't severe. The Imperial Court was currently making all-out efforts for disaster relief, so there was no major impact.

It couldn't be helped. If they hadn't burned luck to deal with the Ghost Saint, and if the Ghost Saint had breached Luo'an Prefecture, the consequences would have been far more severe than these minor natural disasters.

At that time, calling it a scene of utter devastation would not have been an overstatement.

The act of burning luck was essentially sacrificing a little to save much more.

At this moment, Ji Tianlu finally reacted. "Defender Shen, is there a particular reason for your visit to South Nether Prefecture this time?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As he spoke, he looked towards the black bundle on Shen Changqing's back.

From the bundle, this Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division branch sensed a terrifying aura.

That aura made Ji Tianlu's heart palpitate.

"I am here to find Master Gongye."

"I see. Master Gongye is currently in the Demon-Subduing Division. How about I take Defender Shen over?" Ji Tianlu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing raised his hand to stop him. "There's no need. I can go by myself. Defender Ji, please continue with your work; I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he disappeared from the hall before Ji Tianlu could reply.

He came like a shadow and departed without a trace. From beginning to end, Ji Tianlu hadn't sensed his departure in the slightest.

CLINK CLINK CLANG CLANG!

In the fiery hot hall, someone was hammering Divine Weapons. The irregular, yet somewhat rhythmic, clangs were actually somewhat pleasant to the ear.

Gongye Heng sat to one side, gently sipping tea, quietly watching others forge Divine Weapons.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded beside him.

"Master Gongye."

Hearing this voice, Gongye Heng was startled. When he turned his head, he saw that familiar face.

Instantly, he stood and bowed. "Greetings, Lord Defender!"

"Master Gongye, you are too polite." With a thought from Shen Changqing, a surge of Divine Sense gently lifted the other man.

Seeing this, Gongye Heng also rose smoothly, a warm smile on his face. "Lord Defender, do you have a particular matter to discuss on this visit?"

As he spoke, his gaze first fell on the black bundle on the other's back, then on the empty sheath hanging from his waist.

Instantly, he understood.

Noticing that gaze, Shen Changqing smiled. "Master Gongye, you must have guessed. The Sky Strike you forged for me last time was destroyed by a powerful expert, and now I lack a suitable Divine Weapon."

"Therefore, I have come this time hoping that Master Gongye can forge another Divine Weapon for me. As for the materials to forge the Divine Weapon, I have brought them as well."

Although he had already guessed, Gongye Heng was still surprised.

Superior Grade Spirit Arms... In terms of sheer hardness, they are incomparable to ordinary Divine Weapons. For such a Divine Weapon to be destroyed, the intensity of the battle must have been unimaginable.

Then, he recalled a rumor. "Was the Superior Grade Spirit Arm destroyed by that Demon Saint?"

"You could say that," Shen Changqing gave an ambiguous answer.

He didn't mention it was a Demon God attack; the other party wouldn't be able to comprehend that level anyway. After all, aside from his achievements in forging, the man before him was merely a Martial Artist in the Grandmaster Realm, not even having reached Grandmaster Peak.

Upon receiving the answer, Gongye Heng seemed to have his suspicions confirmed, his expression filled with emotion. "Lord Defender, your slaying of the Demon Saint at Fallen Saint Pass was truly heartening! For Sky Strike to be destroyed there can be considered a worthy end for it."

"I wonder what grade of Divine Weapon Lord Defender wishes to forge, and what kind of materials you've brought?"

He looked towards the black bundle.

The aura emanating from it made his blood quiver.

Without a doubt, it must be top-tier material. Moreover, far more advanced and terrifying than the original Red Phosphorus Great Horn.

After surveying the surroundings of the hall, Shen Changqing shook his head slightly. "This place isn't suitable for taking it out. Let's go to the backyard."

"Okay." Seeing the mysterious way the other spoke, Gongye Heng didn't dwell on it.

When the two arrived at the backyard, Shen Changqing then took off the black bundle from his back.

When he opened it, a crystal-like casket was revealed.

Instantly, Gongye Heng's gaze locked firmly onto the object inside the crystal casket.

It was half a torso. Headless, so its features couldn't be discerned.

However, the bones exposed in the half-torso were all golden.

"What is this?"

Looking at the torso, Gongye Heng's heart pounded violently.

He couldn't comprehend what kind of being could possess such a body. Even with the crystal casket's seal, the aura seeping out was enough to make one tremble.
