Chapter 312: Weapons of War

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yin Shuang was surprised by Master Chu Yun’s talent. At the same time, she wondered what he was doing all this for.

After some investigation, she learned that he had bought many rare materials from the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce.

Among them were Exceptional Heaven Casting Iron, Mixed Yuan Soil, Devastating Flame Nucleus, Five Phase Sand, and Heaven Darksteel—all very important strategic resources.

And there were many things happening at Zhong Ling Mountain. It wasn’t difficult for Yin Shuang to imagine Master Chu Yun was up to something big.

But what for? And why?

She felt it obligatory to report to the bank, although she liked Master Chu Yun.

She found her family had already been informed of it. They were keeping him under observation.

“It’s very possible he’s using Zhong Ling Mountain as a base to build weapons of war,” her father said.

Yin Shuang agreed.

“Shouldn’t we do anything about it?” asked Yin Shuang.

“He’s bringing us a profit. As long as he doesn’t start a war, it’s okay.”

Then her father smiled mysteriously and said, “No matter where the war happens, we businessmen are the biggest beneficiaries.”

Yin Shuang eased up. She went to Zhong Ling Mountain again and shouted loudly outside the tactical formation.

Soon, Master Chu Yun showed up from inside the formation.

He was wearing a close-fitting practice suit. The curves of his defined muscles could be seen clearly.

“Master, sorry for the disturbance.”

Yin Shuang noticed he had sweat a lot. She knew instantly that he had been busy with casting.

“Never mind. It’s always a pleasure to meet Miss Yin Shuang,” said Jiang Chen with a smile.

“Master,” Yin Shuang called him in a blaming but gentle tone. It seemed she was shaming him for such a direct compliment, but actually she had enjoyed it. She was an elegant lady, but at that moment, she felt shy.

Jiang Chen smiled, then asked her what she had come for.

“Master, you haven’t left Zhong Ling Mountain since you moved in. I was worried, so I’m here to see how you’re doing.”

She was looking at the mountain while speaking. Then she exclaimed, “What a big change here.”

“If you’re interested, I’ll show you around.”

“Really? Can you?”

It was unexpected for Yin Shuang. Jiang Chen was hiding so well what he was doing in the mountain, but he was allowing her to go inside?

“Other people can’t, but you’re different,” said Jiang Chen.

Yin Shuang smiled helplessly and bitterly, but she was enjoying it secretly.

She had been curious for a long time. Of course she wouldn’t reject the invitation, so she entered the mountain following the master.

As soon as she entered the tactical formation, she felt a heart wave encase her.

“Eh?”

Yin Shuang felt like she was next to a flaming mountain. The source of the heat was in the mountain walls.

“Is master using Devastating Flame Nucleus?” Yin Shuang asked instinctively.

She realized this was an inappropriate question. Fortunately, Master Chu Yun wasn’t irritated.

“Yeah. I’ve deployed a cooling tactical formation, but Devastating Flame Nucleus is too powerful.”

Yin Shuang was a little worried when she had heard the answer. Devastating Flame Nucleus was an energy source, unstable and difficult to control.

The whole Zhong Ling Mountain could disappear if there was any misuse of it.

Yin Shuang suddenly realized something and panicked. “Master! You’re here. So Devastating Flame Nucleus...”

“Doesn’t matter. Everything is running automatically,” said Jiang Chen.

“Yeah?”

It occurred to Yin Shuang that even the most talented people in the Dragon Field had to use Devastating Flame Nucleus with the utmost care, but Master Chu Yun had left it behind and come to talk with her.

She didn’t know whether she should be happy or worried.

“Master, what are you using Devastating Flame Nucleus for?” she asked curiously.

“Carving flowers,” Jiang Chen smiled.

Yin Shuang thought he was joking because he didn’t want to tell her, so she didn’t press the issue.

When they came to the mountainside, Yin Shuang saw a strange sight. It was a hollow pipe that was dozens of yards long.

She saw it had some threads inside when she was in front of it. She realized it was a cannon barrel.

It hadn’t been finished yet. The surface was rough, lacking luster. She touched it and kept stepping back in fear.

“Master, is that made from Five Phase Sand and Heaven Darksteel?”

There was a tremble in her voice and fear in her eyes.

She knew pretty well what Five Phase Sand and Heaven Darksteel were. She had never heard of a cannon barrel made from these two materials.

She was imagining how powerful it could be when it was completed. Would it be able to destroy the universe?

“Master, maybe I shouldn’t ask, but I have to. What are you going to do with these things?”

Yin Shuang knew these were dreadful weapons of war. The question was whom they were supposed to be used against!

If Master Chu Yun was scheming against the Sacred City, the Bank of Sacred City would be in big trouble, because these materials had been procured by them.

“There will be a war in my hometown in two months,” Jiang Chen said seriously.

Yin Shuang nodded. Master Chu Yun’s hometown was the Realm of Milky, which was very far away.

“Could you tell me any details?” Yin Shuang asked a question that crossed the line.

“Sorry. For the moment, I can’t tell you more.”

The Master refused, as she had expected. Then he shifted the topic and said, “I have something I want to entrust to Miss Yin Shuang for auction.”

“Really? The large-scale auction just ended. We’ll have to wait another month,” said Yin Shuang.

“Doesn’t matter. I have enough money on the Golden Dragon Card to last a month.”

Yin Shuang took a deep breath. He had billions in that card and it was only enough for him to last the month. Wars were extremely expensive.

“Are they more panaceas?” she asked curiously.

“Nope.”

He took out what he was going to auction.

Twelve swords flew into air and lined themselves up.

As the chief auctioneer, Yin Shuang noticed something different about them immediately. Compared to normal spiritual swords, these twelve emitted a more aggressive energy.

“Treasured weapons?”

Yin Shuang was used to seeing them. It seemed that Master Chu Yun was also a master of spiritual weapons.

“Class-one treasured weapons. There are twelve—” Yin Shuang was estimating how much money he could earn from them.

“They’re not only class-one treasured weapons. These twelve swords are connected to each other, a set. They can form a sword formation,” Jiang Chen interrupted her with a smile.

“Yeah?” Yin Shuang didn’t understand what he meant.

“Let me put it this way. When the twelve swords are used together, their power will accumulate.”

Yin Shuang was shocked. Did that mean these swords had the power of magic weapons?

She didn’t question him immediately, but showed her surprise properly.

“Besides, their power depends on individual swordsmanship attainments. The higher your attainment is, the more power you can exert.”

“If that’s true, these twelve swords are as good as the Heaven Pulse Elixir,” Yin Shuang said in shock.

“This time, you’ll have enough time to test them,” Jiang Chen said.

“Yeah.”

Yin Shuang knew he was referencing the disturbance at the last auction. She grinned and said, “Master, do you trust me that much?”

“Why shouldn’t I?”

“Aren’t you afraid that I could lose them? They’re so precious. I don’t think I would be able to pay for them if I had to,” Yin Shuang joked.

“Even a hundred swords like this wouldn’t compare to Miss Yin Shuang.”

Yin Shuang completely gave up. Master Chu Yun was insinuating the compensation would be her if she lost them.

If he had said it directly, it would sound rude and unpleasant, but in this way Yin Shuang felt her heart pounding rapidly.

She hurried to leave Zhong Ling Mountain with the swords.
