I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 352 - The Turmoil of Smoke Wave Prefecture
Su Wuming spent most of his time running into bad luck, but this time, his fortune could truly be considered good.
The Mystic Dragon Blood Coagulation Spear was obviously forged in advance, yet by chance it perfectly matched Su Wuming's attribute.
Su Wuming didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the Mystic Dragon Blood Coagulation Spear, cupping one hand in the other before his chest towards Meng Yuanjing, "Many thanks to Elder Meng for bestowing the weapon."
Meng Yuanjing waved his hand cheerfully, "No need for thanks. All of the Five Families and Seven Sects have their share. It wouldn't be fair if the Demon Cleansing Bureau helped my Refining Blade fend off a calamity, yet lacked a weapon from us.
One Earth Soldier spear, Refining Blade still has in abundance."
Han Zheng inwardly nodded in agreement.
This Meng Yuanjing indeed had much greater generosity than Cen Xingzi, no wonder he could make the other Five Families and Seven Sects choose to forgive and concede.
At this point, Meng Yuanjing turned his gaze towards Han Zheng, "The Earth Soldier for the Demon Cleansing Bureau has been given, but the gift for Han is yet to be presented.
In this Weapon Casting Conference, Han, you have won the final Heavenly Soldier. However, I am momentarily at a loss for what to give you as a token of appreciation."
"Elder Meng, haven't you already given Brother Su this Mystic Dragon Blood Coagulation Spear?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Meng Yuanjing shook his head, "One thing at a time. The Earth Soldier given to Brother Su accounts for the fact that my Refining Blade did not host everyone well.
As for the gift to you, Han, it is to express my gratitude to you for helping my Refining Blade secure the Thousand Mechanism Transformation."
Han Zheng thought for a moment then suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Elder Meng, my Heavenly Soldier has been greatly enhanced in power after integrating the Eye of Moluo by Bu Tiange, but the side effects are also tremendous.
If not handled carefully, one could be devoured by its energy, with one's mental state eroded by the power of Moluo.
I wonder if Elder Meng could help modify it by adding an additional safeguard seal to it?"
Meng Yuanjing nodded, "Han, first take that sword out and let me have a look."
Han Zheng took out the Heavenly Demon Transformation sword and handed it to Meng Yuanjing.
Feeling the chilling Demonic Qi from the Heavenly Demon Transformation, Meng Yuanjing stroked the blade carefully, admiringly stating, "A fine sword!"
The materials contributed by the various powers in this Weapon Casting Conference were all quite remarkable, particularly those of the young talents participating, who were of much higher quality than in previous years.
Thus, this Weapon Casting Conference should actually have concluded perfectly, with a very high chance of forging a Heavenly Soldier.
Yet now, all this was ruined by that idiot, Cen Xingzi. Thankfully, a Heavenly Soldier was still forged in the end.
Moreover, because of the Eye of Moluo added at the last moment by Bu Tiange, the grade of this Heavenly Demon Transformation sword directly reached the level of a high-quality Heavenly Soldier.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Yuanjing said, "I have heard of the Eye of Moluo. It indeed is a treasure, but also extremely dangerous.
That Bu Tiange must be mad to have thrown it into the Weapon Casting Furnace.
However, it would truly be a waste to not use such a fine sword.
If Han, you wish to wield it, you indeed need to be extremely cautious.
I am old, my vitality seriously faded, and am definitely unable to forge weapons. However, I can add an Array seal to this Demon Sword for you, Han."
Having said that, Meng Yuanjing turned to Wan Zhongshan and asked, "Mr. Wan, does the Demon Cleansing Bureau have a more spacious place available?
I am concerned about potential accidents when I set up the Array seal, so it is best not to do it indoors."
"Of course, let's go over to the martial arts training field."
Wan Zhongshan led everyone to the martial arts training field where Meng Yuanjing began pulling out various materials for setting up the Array from his Qiankun Bag.
An ordinary Weapon Casting Master indeed only needed physical strength, but to become a Grandmaster, one also needed a certain understanding of the Array Path.
Anyway, these things were beyond Han's comprehension.
After Meng Yuanjing set up the Array, he placed the Heavenly Demon Transformation in the center of the Array and then stimulated his True Yuan to activate the Array.
Instantly, a golden light enveloped the Heavenly Demon Transformation, and the sword erupted with a supremely powerful Demonic Qi and sharp aura, resisting the golden light.
Meng Yuanjing exerted his True Yuan with all his might until a quarter of an hour later, when the golden light finally merged completely into the Heavenly Demon Transformation. Meng Yuanjing let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Old and feeble, I've become useless. To merely add such a seal to a weapon and yet to end up this exhausted."
Meng Yuanjing handed the Heavenly Demon Transformation over to Han Zheng, where only a subtle change could be seen on the sword's exterior.
A series of fine gold lines had appeared around the Eye of Moluo, almost imperceptible unless given close attention.
"Old man has placed four levels of seals upon this Demon Sword. Each time a level is unlocked, the sword's might will increase by one degree, as will the absorption of blood energy, with the Moluo Power corroding one's mental state more rapidly.
However, unless the seals are actively unlocked, this Demon Sword shall absolutely not steal even a sliver of blood energy from its owner.
With Mr. Han's strength, unlocking the First Level will not impact you too greatly.
Unlocking the Second Level, your blood energy will suffer more significantly, and the corrosion from the Moluo Power will become more apparent, which requires caution.
Unlocking the Third Level signifies a moment of desperation, and you must be extremely careful using it.
Upon unlocking the Fourth Level, the Demon Sword will be completely unsealed, and the consequences will be immeasurable. You might even fall completely under the control of the Moluo Power and become a puppet to the sword."
As Meng Yuanjing reached the end, his tone became much more solemn.
"Many thanks, Elder Meng. I'll be careful."
For Han Zheng, these four levels of sealing were already sufficient.
Should it truly come to a dire situation, he would have no choice but to unlock all the seals without concern for the consequences.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Wan Zhongshan, Meng Yuanjing took his leave.
Han Zheng exchanged a glance with Su Wuming and said to Wan Zhongshan, "Mr. Wan, now that the Weapon Casting Conference is over and we have both recovered our blood energy, it's time for us to return to the headquarters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau."
Wan Zhongshan nodded in response, "Both of you are young heroes of our Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, and headquarters cannot do without you.
I've already written down the outcome of this Weapon Casting Conference and sent it to headquarters; your efforts this time have certainly earned you merits.
By the way, it's been a long time since I have visited the headquarters myself.
I have some local specialties here that Mr. Xu favors, and you can deliver them on my behalf."
Wan Zhongshan truly had a good relationship with Xu Cunbao, even remembering to bring him some food at a time like this.
Just then, Fang Jueming hurried over with an urgent sealed message for Wan Zhongshan.
"Master, an emergency message from headquarters."
Wan Zhongshan opened the letter, his brow immediately furrowing.
After a moment, Wan Zhongshan raised his head and solemnly said to Han Zheng and Su Wuming, "Han and Su, I fear you won't be able to return to headquarters for the time being.
Mr. Xu has sent an urgent message—the Smoke Wave Prefecture has fallen into a Demon Chaos. Countless demons have emerged from Smoke Wave Lake and are besieging Smoke Wave Prefecture.
Smoke Wave Prefecture is now surrounded by demons from all sides, putting the Demon Cleansing Bureau in crisis. Even those major Martial World forces are trapped within Smoke Wave Prefecture.
With all communications inside and outside of Smoke Wave Prefecture severed, the situation is incredibly dire and dangerous.
Han, you have previously overseen Smoke Wave Prefecture and are most familiar with it, hence Mr. Xu has decided to dispatch you and Su to support them first.
Once you arrive at Smoke Wave Prefecture, you will have full authority to handle the situation and try to resolve the source of the Demon Chaos.
Should you sense anything amiss, Han, send a message immediately; Mr. Xu himself will take action from headquarters."
Han Zheng's brow tightened, his intuition telling him there was definitely a problem.
The demons in the outer areas of Smoke Wave Prefecture, such as the Tuo Dragon and the Golden Spirit King, had all been slain by him. How could so many daring demons suddenly emerge to attack Smoke Wave Prefecture in a short period?
The only ones capable of attacking Smoke Wave Prefecture would be the demons from deep within the central waters of the lake.
But those deep-water demons rarely come ashore, so why would they besiege Smoke Wave Prefecture?
It was even stranger that these Martial World forces would also be within Smoke Wave Prefecture.
Previously, even though they all took orders from Han Zheng, they wouldn't just come to the State Mansion at any time. It was only when Han Zheng summoned them that they would come.
Of course, pondering over these issues was useless for the time being; no matter what, Han Zheng had to go and provide support.
People like Zhang Yan and Pei Xiuyuan of Smoke Wave Prefecture were his former subordinates, and Wen Jingyun of the Wen Family had collaborated well with Han Zheng in the past.
Cui Zeyuan was dead, and now Han Zheng could only hope that Zhang Yan and the others were safe and unharmed.
