Chapter 314: Chapter 130 Monster Wailing Blade! Forging Monster Soldiers!_3

This time, Chai Zheng sent Su Changkong into the hands of this group, but for safety, they first went to a nearby small town, pretending to be out for tourism and visiting friends.

What about when Su Changkong was gone after returning? Any excuse would do to brush off the Casting Department.

Who would bother to investigate the disappearance of a blacksmith who had joined the Casting Department for less than half a year?

“Let’s go, I will take you to meet the leader. It’s an honor for you, lad, to meet such a person!”

Ma Hong said to Su Changkong, and his reverence and admiration were evident when he mentioned the leader.

Su Changkong followed behind Ma Hong, feigning fear and unease in the face of unfamiliar surroundings, while he sighed inwardly without words, “A gold nugget shines no matter where it is!”

Su Changkong entered the Dafeng Iron Cavalry encampment to evade the Mu Family’s experts. During the more than four months, he did not want to waste this time and looked for things to do to push himself to refine his forging skill.

To his surprise, this over-performance had led to Chai Zheng ‘selling’ him to a group suspected of being rebels!

Now, he could only take one step at a time.

In the forest, with secret sentries all around and a strict guard, he went through the woods and in front of him emerged a huge valley. Far away, he saw tents and buildings dotting the valley, bustling like a small town, with thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people.

There were also many watchtowers, each with martial artists standing on guard, all sharp-eyed and disciplined.

“The Revolutionary Army… It is indeed the Revolutionary Army!”

This scene confirmed Su Changkong’s suspicion. Such a gathering of martial artists in this hidden valley—there was no other explanation; they had to be rebels!

Following Ma Hong, he entered the valley’s largest building, where Su Changkong met the ‘leader.’

He was a giant of a man, so tall it was astonishing—measuring two meters twelve, with thick limbs, wearing a loose robe, his muscle outlines clear, his black hair casually draped over, and by appearance, he was at most in his thirties, with a scar near his eye.

He was like a mini giant, even though his aura was restrained, with not a hint of leakage, the first impression he gave was of strength and danger. He sat lazily on a tiger skin chair, but it seemed as if he could pounce at any moment, making one unable to afford even the slightest negligence in his presence.

“A very dangerous master! Among all the martial artists I have seen so far, probably only Hong Zhenxiang can compete with him!”

Su Changkong was serious inwardly, instantly judging the towering man’s strength as immeasurable, probably on the same level as Hong Zhenxiang. As to who was stronger, without having seen them in action, he could not say.

“Reporting to the leader, this young man is named Su Tailai, a forging master brought by Chai Zheng.”

Ma Hong said respectfully to the giant man.

“Hmm.”

The burly man nodded slightly.

The towering man looked at Su Changkong and said with a smile, “Young man, my name is Wei Chiao. You should have heard of my name.”

“Wei Chiao!”

At the mention of this name, Su Changkong quickly recalled some details he had heard.

Working in the Casting Department for months, he also heard about some events outside, and the biggest recent event was the attack on a Dafeng Iron Cavalry post by a self-proclaimed Revolutionary Army leader, killing two to three thousand people, including two Chiefs of Ten Thousand and several Chiliarchs—a huge shock indeed!

It even alarmed the State Governor, Pei Yang, who ordered that this audacious rebel group be exterminated!

And the leader of the Revolutionary Army was named Wei Chiao!

This Wei Chiao was indeed a very dangerous man.

Su Changkong immediately showed fear and confusion, as if he had never heard the name but was very afraid of it nonetheless.

Wei Chiao was satisfied with Su Changkong’s reaction and consoled him, “You need not be nervous; I do not kill the weak or innocent. I only want you to craft a weapon that suits me. If you please me, you will enjoy riches and honor for life!”

“I… I will do my best!” Su Changkong replied, seemingly reinvigorated at the mention of forging.

Without wasting words, Wei Chiao reached into his chest and produced an object—a dark red crystal core, the size of a thumb tip, its surface shimmering with black light, and emanating an unsettling allure.

“A Demon Monster Crystal Core!”

Su Changkong immediately recognized the object; he was no stranger to it—it was a Demon Monster Crystal Core!

Previously, after vanquishing Feng Mo, Su Changkong had acquired a Demon Monster Crystal Core. After much time and effort, he transformed it into three Monster Martial Pills, enabling his Giant Whale Technique to break through two realms and enter the Eight Realms. His strength surged; otherwise, facing Mu Jin might not have ended well.

This Wei Chiao was actually holding a Demon Monster Crystal Core!

Su Changkong guessed Wei Chiao’s intention was to use this core to forge a weapon!

The Demon Monster Crystal Core had many uses. The most direct and straightforward was embedding it in one’s heart, merging it with oneself for the strongest effect, but with the highest side effects—something most people would not dare to attempt.

Another was turning it into Pill Medicine to increase one’s lifespan or power, and so on.

And to use a Demon Monster Crystal Core to forge weapons and armor would be to craft transcendent items beyond mortal ken.

“This… what is this? It gives me an unsettling feeling!”

Su Changkong exclaimed, feigning alarm.

Wei Chiao smiled faintly, “This is a treasure! It is born from a rare and perfect powerful being! I want you to craft me a divine weapon with it and the materials I’ve gathered. Here are the blueprints!”

Wei Chiao waved his hand, and a folded scroll floated gently towards Su Changkong from his sleeve, unfolding in midair like a bird in flight, circling in front of Su Changkong without falling. This effortless display exhibited the inscrutable depth of Wei Chiao’s power!
