Chapter 344 Discovering Clues



"Master, we've finally found the most important material for refining weapons. You should be happy, so why are you sighing every day?"

Seeing him like this, the disciple next to him couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Xie Chongshan glanced at the boy beside him and said, "I'm thinking that this matter will eventually be exposed. When that happens, how should Duanming Peak deal with it?"

"What's the big deal?"

Tongzi didn't take it seriously. "You have the Wanqi Clan behind you. Huang Zhiping is just a nobody who has only reached the peak of the Martial Grandmaster level after several hundred years. You don't need to be so nervous."

Besides, it's the Wanqi clan that wants his dragon scales, not us. If he's so capable, he should go ask the Wanqi Peak Master.

Wan Qijing wanted the dragon scale, but it was Xie Chongshan who took it from Huang Zhiping.

The worst-case scenario is that Wanqijing will discard him after he has served his purpose.

Moreover, even if Huang Zhiping can't do anything to him at that time, once this matter gets out, who would dare to ask him to refine a treasure?

"well."

Xie Chongshan sighed again.

How wonderful it would be if the one who possessed the dragon scales was a teacher of low status, or an ordinary disciple.

After several months of weapon crafting, the infrastructure of Xianlong Peak was gradually repaired and improved under Shang Yanting's control.

The senior brothers' injuries have almost healed, and they have even begun to practice the 3.0 version of the humanoid formation, which was designed by Hu Changxiu and criticized by Jia Xitong.

However, they haven't developed a very good rapport yet.

Hu Changxiu even paused the 4.0 version design because Xianlong Peak needed to be re-established with a protective formation, and went back to his residence to rack his brains for ideas.

The most eye-catching feature at Xianlong Peak right now is probably the Puppet Servant 6.0 version.

Designed by Shang Yanting and Xitong.

The sixth-generation Puppet Servant design breaks free from the initial limitations of humanoid design in appearance, being entirely made of a rubber-like material painstakingly found by Liang Ting. Featuring a sophisticated color scheme of Ten Auspicious Powder and Morandi Blue, its shape is that of a slime, without sharp edges or corners, possessing a cute, non-arrogant style.

Functionally, it serves as a dual-purpose household and defensive utility unit. It can sweep, clean, do laundry, cook, raise magical beasts, and care for others. Furthermore, upon detecting an attack, it can automatically form a puppet shield, buying time for everyone inside the peak to escape.

In short, it's a collection of multifunctional, high-value errand puppets.

When Jia Xitong introduced the handyman puppet to his fellow disciples, they were all stunned.

The eldest brother's breathing weakened considerably, and he asked feebly, "The puppets have done all these things, so what are we supposed to do?"

"Yeah, is this going to replace us?"

The second senior brother chimed in, "Why bother with all this stuff? It's not like we can't do it ourselves."

"Uh... we really can't make a shield."

The eleventh man remarked succinctly, "These puppets seem to be stronger than us?"

So you're going to lose your job?

The twenty senior students, like hardworking workers on an assembly line replaced by machines, were at a loss and looked at each other blankly.

"Of course it's not on your behalf, it's just that it's such a waste for you senior brothers to waste your time on these trivial matters!"

Jia Xitong pointed to Hu Changxiu, who happened to be passing by and was on his way back to study the mountain-protecting formation, and said, "Everyone should believe in themselves and also believe in Teacher Hu. He will definitely be able to design a super powerful humanoid formation."

As the saying goes, "You can break a single chopstick, but you can't break a bundle of chopsticks." Sooner or later, my fellow disciples will surely dominate the Aotian Continent!

How thoughtful.

I'm so touched.

Upon hearing this, the senior students stopped Hu Changxiu, who was about to leave, and hugged him tightly until he could hardly breathe.

"Thank you, Teacher Hu!"

"Teacher Hu, we can't do without you!"

"Teacher Hu, because of you, it's like the sun shining on the earth..."

Hu Changxiu looked blankly at Jia Xitong, who was standing outside the crowd with a sigh: ...?

While the atmosphere at Xianlong Peak was peaceful and positive, Huang Zhiping's expression turned slightly somber.

He was at Forging Peak at the moment, here to see how his weapon was being tempered.

However, just a second before, Xie Chongshan, while introducing his weapon, pointed to the furnace used to refine his magical artifact and said that Zhanlongyin would be his greatest finished product.

"Dragon Slayer's Roar?"

Huang Zhiping looked at him and saw that his own natal magic weapon was clearly a fifteen-inch-long jade pendant.

"Master, the Dragon Slayer's Roar is in the Yi Sect's weapon-refining furnace. You've misspoke again."

Xie Chongshan's disciple stepped forward to correct him, but in reality, he was explaining to Huang Zhiping.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Dragon Slayer's Roar is in the Yi Sect's weapon-refining furnace. The Dragon Slayer's Roar is the weapon-refining product that I am most satisfied with. Fellow Daoist Huang's magic weapon will be the magic weapon that I am most proud of."

"Oh, I see."

Huang Zhiping nodded, the wrinkles between his brows disappeared, and he regained his previous kind and expectant look.

The master and apprentice, working in tandem, saw Huang Zhiping off.

Xie Chongshan watched Huang Zhiping walk away and couldn't help but sigh, wondering how long this situation could last.

It won't last long. Huang Zhiping is simply unaware of everything; he's not naive.

He left Duanming Peak with a smile on his face, but his expression darkened as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain. He said to the disciple beside him, "Go and find out what the Dragon Slaying Roar is."

With both of his treasures in Xie Chongshan's hands, how could he not be cautious?

Wan Qijing concealed the fact that she had refined the Dragon-Slaying Roar very well.

Xie Chongshan sent people to investigate many times but found no information or records. However, the more mysterious it was, the more suspicious it became.

No matter how well you hide it, there are no secrets in this world.

One day

Duanming Peak's young servant was about to leave the peak on business when he was kidnapped.

In a dimly lit cell on True Yuan Peak, Huang Zhiping looked at the boy with a grim expression. "I have a few questions for you..."

A mournful cry emanated from the dimly lit prison cell.

Even the most stubborn person had their mouth pried open using extremely cruel methods. Xiao Tong confessed everything, both what he should and shouldn't have confessed.

"Xie Chongshan, Wan Qijing!"

Huang Zhiping was so angry that he lost his mind. He clenched his fists tightly and led his men out of the mountain.

Feng Jin returned from outside and bumped into an angry Huang Zhiping. "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Jin!

It was because of him that he chose Xie Chongshan to temper him.

Huang Zhiping, with nowhere to vent his anger, slapped Feng Jin, who was approaching, sending him flying more than ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"I will discuss this with you when I return."

After saying that, he flew towards Duanming Peak.

Oh no!

Seeing Huang Zhiping's expression, Feng Jin immediately understood what he was about to do. He quickly got up, covered the spot on his chest where he had been slapped, and hurriedly left to report the incident.

At this moment, inside Forging Peak

Huang Zhiping and his other disciples had arrived. With a command, he ordered, "Smash this Forging Inscription Peak to the ground! I will ensure that Forging Inscription Peak will cease to exist at Dingtian Academy!"

After saying that, his disciples began their attack.

"How dare you! Fellow Daoist Huang, what are you trying to do!"

Xie Chongshan tried to stop him, but Huang Zhiping waved his long sleeve and sent him flying far away.
