Creation of the Universe

"What, the sword forging failed?"

King Weihai, who was waiting for news in the palace, received an unexpected result.

Let Meng Xiong, the leader of Xuanjinmen, forge a sword in Jianxu. Once the sword is completed, it will be another magical weapon for their royal family, which will surely help them to be invincible and stand out from the crowd.

In order to achieve this goal, King Weihai spared no effort in spending a lot of manpower and material resources to fully support Xuan Jinmen. But now it is said that the sword-making has failed. How could King Weihai accept this?

"All this effort and meticulous planning, and in the end it all ended in failure? Tell me what exactly happened?"

King Weihai angrily questioned the subordinate who came to report the news.

The subordinate replied, "Your Highness, please calm down. We don't know exactly what happened at the bottom of Jianxu Valley. At that time, everyone was stationed outside Jianxu. Later, we heard a huge commotion coming from the bottom of the valley, so we went to check it out.

When we reached the bottom of the valley, the huge bronze cauldron used to forge the sword had already been shattered into pieces, the whereabouts of the sword embryo inside were unknown, and Meng Xiong, the leader of Xuanjin Sect, was lying nearby, seriously injured.

We also haven't found Wang Haitong of the Lingzhou Wang family or Baili Yu, the Lord of Zhujian City. We don't know if they are dead or alive."

King Wei Hai's face turned extremely ugly. Three masters holding sixth-grade swords worked together, but they could still cause such a mess. Could it be that the enemy forces or a sect with ulterior motives interfered and ruined the good thing?

"These people are gone, so where are their swords?"

"Pass the order down, search the bottom of the Sword Ruins Valley thoroughly and make sure to find the sword!"

At this time, King Wei Hai did not care about the life or death of Wang Haitong or Baili Yu. He just wanted to take back the sixth-grade sword, which was the most valuable to him.

At this time, Baili Yu walked in in a disheveled state, and burst into tears as soon as he saw King Weihai.

"My Lord, something happened!

The prince was murdered by someone and was plotted to death. Now his body is gone. His death was so tragic!

Although I fought tooth and nail to protect him, I was helpless against their cunning and treacherous tactics. Furthermore, the prince was young and impetuous, so he fell into their trap and perished at the bottom of the Sword Ruins Valley!"

Baili Yu cried and wailed for a long time, but King Weihai remained seated like a mountain, unmoved.

This made Baili Yu feel uneasy. He didn't know what the King of Weihai was thinking. If he blamed him for the death of the prince, how should he respond?

Unexpectedly, King Weihai slowly spoke, "What exactly happened at the bottom of Jianxu Valley? I want you to tell me everything!"

So Baili Yu told the whole story, but he exaggerated it and emphasized how he swore to protect the prince with his life, but the enemy was too treacherous, and the prince was killed.

His words were full of regret and self-blame, and people who read them couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him.

Baili Yu had finally gained a foothold in Weihai State and was promoted to the Lord of Zhujian City. He certainly did not want his career to be ruined because of the death of the Crown Prince.

After hearing the whole story, King Weihai's first reaction was not to care about the whereabouts of the culprit who killed his son, but to ask Baili Yu about the ninth-grade sword.

"You mean, Meng Xiong said in person that the man named Shen Zhan was holding the long-lost Liuyun Sword?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Baili Yu felt a little relieved because it seemed that King Weihai did not intend to hold him accountable for failing to protect the prince.

At this moment, a young man slowly approached from a distance and said, "Father, Shen Zhan must be quite capable to have killed the shadow I personally trained. Can I go meet him?"

Baili Yu gradually opened his eyes wide, because he suddenly saw that the young man standing in front of him was none other than Zhu Zhi, the prince of Weihai!

Eighty miles west of the Sword-Forging City, Shen Zhan came to the stream to fetch water. He did not have time to go back to the city to say hello to Jia Zhong, so he hurried west on his own, fearing that he would be caught up by the enemy if the night went on too long.

I believe that when Dong Ping and the others see Jia Zhong again, they will naturally tell him about their situation.

At this time, a carriage passed by the roadside and stopped in front of Shen Zhan. The driver shouted to him, "Sir, are you in a hurry? If you like, you can take my carriage. We can have a companion on the road."

The driver was dressed simply and looked unremarkable. He looked like a worker working for his master. Shen Zhan took a look at him and stepped forward.

"Thank you, brother, but I don't know where to go right now. I just want to leave Sword Forge City."

Shen Zhan said.

"Is that so? Then why don't you walk with me for a while. Once you decide where you want to go, it won't be too late to make plans."

"The mountain road ahead is difficult to walk on, and you don't have a mount, so it will be very difficult to walk on foot alone."

The driver had a simple smile on his face.

So Shen Zhan agreed and got on the stranger's carriage. Firstly, it would save him a lot of effort, and secondly, it would be more concealed and less likely to be discovered by pursuers.

He took the opportunity to regulate his breathing in the carriage. The battle at the bottom of Jianxu Valley had exhausted him greatly, and he was quite lucky to escape unscathed.

After a while, when Shen Zhan opened his eyes again and looked outside, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he lifted the curtain and looked outside.

He suddenly realized that they were on a mountain road with a steep cliff on one side, and this was the place he had passed before.

"Who are you?"

Shen Zhan asked in a deep voice.

The driver, who had previously appeared harmless, suddenly changed his expression. "King Weihai has ordered the arrest of all those who participated in the Sword Ruins Trial. You'd better follow me back honestly. That way, I can get a good reward."

Shen Zhan placed his hand on the Liuyun Sword, and at this moment, a group of people appeared from the other end of the mountain road. The leader was riding on a black horse, with a burly figure and majestic appearance.

"stop!"

"No one dares to brandish a sword in front of this king!"

Although the two sides were dozens of steps apart, the man saw through Shen Zhan's intention at a glance, which shows that he is an extremely powerful character.

The driver hurriedly dismounted, knelt on the ground and said, "Report to King Weihai, I was just about to take this man back to Sword Forging City."

It turned out that King Weihai had personally led his men here. Shen Zhan knew that something was wrong and immediately prepared for a fierce battle.

King Weihai said in a resounding voice, "You have done well. I will reward you handsomely when you return."

"Thank you, my king!"

The driver was delighted, but unexpectedly, Shen Zhan pierced his body with the Liuyun Sword and he fell off the cliff.

"I never thought that the mighty King Weihai would come to hunt me down personally. It seems that you already know that your son died at my hands."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Zhu Zhi appeared in front of Shen Zhan with a sarcastic smile on his face.
