However, as soon as those words were spoken, silence suddenly fell over the scene. The expression on Wu Lie’s face, which had been reassured by Chen Yuntian, became stiff, and then his old face turned red before he finally uttered a sentence.

"The three master craftsmen... Actually, I successfully completed the Third-Time Yijin a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, the three master craftsmen were stunned for a moment before showing expressions of shock. Wu Lie, who had undergone Third-Time Yijin, couldn’t withstand a few rounds against the subordinates of the Purple Shirt, which implied that the Black Mountain Army was too strong.

For a moment, the three who had returned to the Forging Workshop were all shaken to the core.

Then as Wu Lie continued to speak, mentioning the Taiping Dao Envoy who killed the Black Mountain Army’s Thousand Man Commander with one spear, and then beheaded the Purple Shirt and several Thousand Man Commanders, stringing their heads together.

Including Wu Lie himself, everyone present held their breath, until one of the master craftsmen, Lin Ruoshui, spoke in disbelief.

"Is that Taiping Dao Envoy truly this powerful?"

"Absolutely."

Gulp.

All three master craftsmen swallowed a few times, thinking about how they had once scrutinized this god of death, they all felt a chill in their hearts. Luckily, the envoy did not hold grudges against them, otherwise, they would have been left in the Black Forest Mountain.

It was at that moment that Wu Lie suddenly remembered the matter of the Red Flame Great Spear.

"Three master craftsmen, there’s one more thing... I noticed that the inscription style on the Taiping Dao Envoy’s Seventh-Grade Long Spear seemed somewhat similar to Su Mu’s engraving style."

As soon as these words came out, the scene became even more uproarious.

The three master craftsmen’s expressions changed dramatically, their bodies trembled, and after exchanging glances, they suddenly recalled the phenomenon when Su Mu forged the Red Feather Saber that day. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

At that time, all three believed the Red Feather Saber wasn’t worthy of such a phenomenon. Now, with this mention, they suddenly thought of a very slim possibility.

"Perhaps that day Su the kid also forged a Great Spear, a Great Spear of even higher quality?"

Yet, Su Mu wasn’t in the Forging Workshop now, and as for going to ask that god-like Taiping Dao Envoy?

The three dared not.

But actually, under such circumstances, there was another possibility, that Su Mu and the Taiping Dao Envoy were actually the same person.

However, this possibility was simultaneously ignored by the three master craftsmen, who didn’t even dare to think that Su Mu and the Taiping Dao Envoy were one and the same.

In their eyes, Su Mu was indeed a prodigy, but his talents lay in forging, not in Martial Arts.

Moreover, a person’s time and energy are limited!

Su Mu was frankly too young, not even twenty years old now. Could someone not even twenty not only forge Seventh-Grade Treasure Artifacts but also reach a Martial Arts Realm where they could easily defeat thousands and storm through a rebellious army camp alone?

Such a notion was too fantastical. Even if Su Mu were to appear now and confess, the three would absolutely not believe it and would assume they were hallucinating.

"It’s likely that you saw wrong in the heat of the moment, Workshop Master."

"Indeed, since this involves that Taiping Dao Envoy... it would be best not to mention it lightly in the future."

The three master craftsmen exchanged looks, finally convinced that Wu Lie was mistaken, as the Taiping Dao Envoy indeed held a genuine Seventh-Grade Treasure Artifact, whereas the Seventh-Grade phenomenon that Su the kid exhibited during forging did not truly materialize.

"Little sister, little sister, what did you hear just now?"

"I...I didn’t catch it clearly."

In the shadows, Wu Qiao’Er’s heart suddenly trembled when she heard everyone’s speculations, suddenly thinking of a certain possibility, but she also sensed from the tone of the three master craftsmen and her father a deep respect for the Taiping Dao Envoy.

"No way, I mustn’t act rashly about this... I have to wait until Su Mu comes back!"

...

On the other side.

In a studio deep within the County Magistrate’s Office on Cyan Cloud Avenue.

Two figures sitting across from each other, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Zhihe spoke about seeking the Five Elements Pill.

"Since Director Li has personally come to visit, the matter of the Five Elements Pill is of course possible... but I have one condition."
