C15 Captured

Su Chen was in a state of deep sleep. He clearly knew that someone had drugged him. They wanted to harm him. However, that head weighed a thousand kilograms, and he couldn't lift it up even if he used all his strength. It was only when a bucket of water poured down from above that he felt his heart turn cold. Only then did his entire body become alert, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The medicinal strength that had yet to dissipate made him seem somewhat dazed until he saw the familiar pattern in front of him. The gentle arrangement made Su Chen's eyes gradually light up. "Eh? Why am I in the ancestral house? Could it be that foster father has returned?"

"Foster father, is that you?" Su Chen turned his head and looked at the armchair that his foster father always sat on. What disappointed him was... It was still empty. When he struggled to get up, he found that his limbs were tightly bound to the chair. This made him unable to move at all.

"I'm not willing to be a foster father for a dead person, so it's better for you to be reserved." Artifact Master Zhang's voice came from the other side. He was holding a bucket in his hand, and his face was filled with pride.

"Artifact Master Zhang, why are we here?" The moment Su Chen saw him, he knew that the fact that he was eavesdropping on their conversation had been exposed. However, at this moment, he was in a difficult situation. He had no choice but to pretend to be confused.

"Hehe, you're a smart kid, but this Artifact Master doesn't need to beat around the bush with you anymore. Because your value has already been lost, as long as I'm willing... I can kill you anytime." Artifact Master Zhang stared at Su Chen with a playful expression on his face.

"Why would Artifact Master Zhang say that?" Su Chen gritted his teeth and held on.

However, as soon as he said those words, a big slap hit his face. Artifact Master Zhang hit him while cursing." Hmph, how dare you pretend to be stupid with this Artifact Master. You really won't turn back until you hit the south wall!"

"I really don't know what you are talking about." The corner of Su Chen's mouth was covered in blood, but his face was full of grievance. After being a servant for so long, this little bit of acting was not a problem.

"You lowly servant not only used the Artifact Mark technique to threaten this Artifact Master, but you also dare to eavesdrop on our conversation in an attempt to ruin my plan. You have opposed this Artifact Master many times, how can this Artifact Master tolerate you?" As a Level Seven Essence Body expert, Artifact Master Zhang's muscles and bones were already well-defined. Every strike carried over a hundred jin of strength, causing Su Chen to see stars. He felt dizzy and dizzy.

"Since you already know, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. You secretly colluded with that Luo Qing, and you actually want to harm Master Gongzang and me. You even wanted to make a fortune in the Purple Town Branch using the name of the Artifact Mark Great Master. Sooner or later, the headquarters would find out about your plot. You will die without a burial ground. " Su Chen saw that the matter had been exposed and couldn't help but shout at Artifact Master Zhang angrily.

"Hehe, without you, who else can expose my plot? Without that old bastard Gongzang, who would dare oppose me? You can die now. My, Zhang Qiang's, spring is coming. " Artifact Master Zhang sneered. A hysterical and crazy smile flashed across his face.

"Humph, you wish. If it wasn't for me, I would see how you would respond to the customer's request to refine the Artifact Mark Origin Tool." When Su Chen heard these words, his heart could not help but turn cold. He forcefully raised his spirit and called out to Artifact Master Zhang.

"You don't have to worry about this. Originally, I wanted to obtain the Artifact Mark technique from you. But after some observation, I discovered that the Artifact Mark technique wasn't something that you originally possessed."

"That seems to be a natural manifestation of the energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, this energy of heaven and earth seems to be related to you bathing in starlight on the roof. As long as I dismember you, I will be able to find that secret within your body. At that time, I will naturally be able to refine Artifact Mark Origin Tool?" Artifact Master Zhang's words caused Su Chen to be secretly shocked.

He looked at Artifact Master Zhang as if he was performing a magic trick. An exquisite dagger appeared in his hand. A trace of fear flashed across his eyes. "You... Don't come over. I am going to call people over."

"Hehe, brat, if you have something to say, say it. In this remote place, even if you scream, no one will come to save you." Artifact Master Zhang smiled evilly and stabbed at Su Chen with the dagger in his hand.

Bang, bang, bang!

At this moment, there was a rapid knocking sound. Artifact Master Zhang paused and slowly put away the dagger in his hand. He knocked Su Chen out with a backhand hook punch and went forward to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a loyal guard under Artifact Master Zhang. He looked nervous. Artifact Master Zhang frowned and asked the guard, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

"Lord Artifact Master, the situation is really urgent. I hope you can forgive me." The guard quickly bowed and greeted.

"Alright, alright. Speak, what is it?" Artifact Master Zhang impatiently waved his hand and called out.

"People from the industry have come to report that Master Gongzang got up in the middle of the night and chatted with Master Deacon for half a day. Half an hour ago, they left the Profound Weapon Shop and headed towards the direction of the Horn Mountain." The guard's words shocked Artifact Master Zhang.

"How could this be? Where are they going?" Artifact Master Zhang frowned and thought to himself. His face was full of worry.

"Is there any movement from Master Luo Qing?" Artifact Master Zhang asked.

"There is no reaction from him!" The guard shook his head.

"Phew... Send more men to keep an eye on Su Chen. If he gets away... I want your heads. " After receiving this news, Artifact Master Zhang couldn't stay calm anymore. He gritted his teeth and gave an order to the guards, then turned around and left Su Chen's ancestral house.

After returning to Profound Weapon Shop, Artifact Master Zhang went straight to the door of Luo Qing's room. He knocked on the door, and the door creaked open. Then, he flashed into the room.

"Luo Qing, Deacon and Gongzang have left. I think we need to know their whereabouts. I need your help with this matter." Artifact Master Zhang went straight to the point and said to him.

"I told you that I will not do anything before Deacon leaves." Luo Qing said faintly.

"This is just a small test. It will not affect anything. I can promise you that before I have full confidence... I won't start the battle so easily. That should be enough, right?" When Artifact Master Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but frown and shout.

"Are you telling the truth?" Luo Qing asked seriously.

"You don't even believe me?" Artifact Master Zhang asked seriously.

"Alright, wait for my news." Luo Qing gave him a deep look, then he turned into a phantom and disappeared into the darkness.

Time passed, and the stars shifted!

The starlight that filled the sky disappeared into the sky, but a patch of white appeared in the east. On the incomparably precipitous cliff, two lithe figures were swiftly climbing upwards.

Their figures were like spiritual monkeys, jumping between the mountains. As they climbed on the pine trees, they were vigorous and agile to the extreme. Upon closer inspection, the two people climbing up were Liu Deacon from Wuyang and Master Gongzang, the chief Artifact Master of the Profound Weapon Shop's Purple Town Branch.

They deliberately avoided the mountain path of the slow slope. From the steep side of the slope, they wanted to relax their muscles and bones, to be contaminated with the natural spiritual energy, and thus obtain an increase in their mental state.

After they climbed to a peak of the Horn Mountain without stopping, they stopped at the same time. Their breathing was rapid and sweat could be seen on their foreheads. It could be seen that they had consumed a huge amount of physical strength while climbing.

Deacon opened his mouth to speak while breathing. He grinned and said to Master Gongzang, "Gongzang, it has been two years since we last met. I didn't expect you to not have any energy left at all. This is really surprising."

"Although I am the only one and have a lot of things to do, I didn't let go of my physical training. You, on the other hand, have been in a high position all year long. Plus, you have a woman's soul eroding body. Your physical strength has been reduced quite a bit." Master Gongzang pointed at Liu Deacon, his face full of pride.

"Sigh, I'm old now. I remember when we were climbing the mountain together to watch the sunrise. What kind of mood was this? I didn't expect that after a few decades, our faces would get old. Our physical strength will gradually decline, but we still haven't surpassed this annoying Yuan Dan Stage. Perhaps we can only live for a hundred years in this lifetime. " When Liu Deacon heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, when you have a plan, you have to do it. As long as we have worked hard in the past... There is no need to regret it. Besides, we've lived in peace for so many years. Being able to climb the mountain and watch the sunrise at such a young age is a kind of happiness." Master Gongzang sat on a flat rock and smiled at Liu Deacon.

"You are still so peaceful, although sometimes I don't agree with you. But in terms of mental state, I have to admire you." Liu Deacon raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said to Master Gongzang.

"It's rare for us old friends to gather together. Let's spend some more time in Purple Town this time." Master Gongzang narrowed his eyes and smiled at Liu Deacon.

"This is not up to me. Deacon's job seems to be very glorious. This is not up to me. Today is the happiest day of our trip to climb the mountain and watch the sun. " Liu Deacon shook his head, a bitter smile flashing across his face.

"Well, at our age, there is no need to be greedy about certain relationships. We just need to let nature take its course." Master Gongzang was stunned when he heard that. Then he revealed a quiet smile.

"By the way, your subordinate Zhang Qiang is not a good person. I advise you to be careful of him. After he refined the Artifact Mark Origin Tool this time, he will definitely not be willing to be ordinary anymore. " Liu Deacon changed the topic and brought it to the Purple Town Branch.

"Hehe, he was originally a person who did not want to be lonely. He had been eyeing my position for a long time. However, his Artifact Forging Technique isn't mature, so there are some problems with his character. Thus, I didn't put him in my eyes. However, this time, he has obtained the Artifact Mark technique. This has completely exceeded my expectations. If he wants to advance, I'll pass this chair to him." Master Gongzang smiled faintly, his face like a spring breeze.

"The Artifact Mark technique is the ultimate technique among weapons. If he really has such a great technique... That's the first seat. However, every time he refines a weapon, he will always hide from us. He will not hesitate to reject the idea of observing us. This is something worth pondering over." Speaking up to this point, Liu Deacon's expression became solemn.

"Hehe, since the Artifact Mark technique is a Great Dao, he naturally won't let us observe it easily. This should be a normal performance." Master Gongzang was a peaceful person, and he wasn't a scheming person. He didn't take Liu Deacon's suggestion to heart.

Liu Deacon didn't say anything about Artifact Master Zhang after seeing his reaction. However, when they mentioned Su Chen during the conversation, Liu Deacon praised his performance.

In his opinion, not only could a young servant gain the ability to forge artifacts, but also gain the ability to do so. He had also brought his different vision into the Artifact Master. This was definitely a major breakthrough for the Profound Weapon Shop. Liu Deacon was also prepared to bring the sales experience of the Purple Town branch to the Wuyang for absorption and use, so that the other regions could use it as a reference.

When the red sun jumped out of the horizon and the warm sunlight shone on the two of them, their old friend had a calm expression and began to quietly enjoy this moment of warmth.

The golden sunlight that illuminated the Divine Continent had witnessed their deep friendship.
