Chapter 500: The Immortal Official
"It's actually Master Lu!"

There was a hint of surprise in the Fire Refining Master's eyes.

"I heard that Master Lu has the blood of a Qilin weapon refiner, and he also inherited the ancient weapon refinement technique."

There are not many famous weapon refiners.

And people like Master Lu who possess special bloodline inheritance are even rarer.

It is said that he was an illegitimate son of the Water-Walking Qilin clan who was left behind and suffered from bullying. He once obtained an ancient refining secret book in an ancient relic.

Since then, Master Lu has kept his identity secret and devoted himself to studying the art of refining equipment. Few people know his whereabouts.

I didn't expect that Feitianmen actually had some connection with him.

"If Master Lu can come, it will surely be much easier to forge the Tongtian Spiritual Ship this time."

Master Huo Lian breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was quite difficult for him to refine the Tongtian Spirit Ship on his own.

Master Huo Lian smiled slightly and said, "The Tongtian Spiritual Ship is extraordinary after all. Do you have the casting drawings?"

Ye Yang shook his head.

Master Huo Lian suddenly showed a trace of difficulty on his face.

"What about this?"

Ye Yang spoke.

"Although there are no refining blueprints, there is a nine-aperture puppet heart with a blueprint of an ancient giant ship inside."

"What? It's actually a Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart."

These five words rang in Master Huo Lian's ears like a bolt of thunder that broke through the long-silent night sky.

His eyes moved away from the rock, steel and wood on the side and fixed on Ye Yang's face, trying to find a trace of a joke in the young man's expression.

However, Ye Yang's face showed only determination and seriousness, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

The Fire Master took a deep breath.

"Are you sure you have a nine-hole puppet heart?"

There was a slight tremor in his voice, an emotion he hadn't experienced in years.

The Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart is a legendary treasure that embodies the wisdom of countless blacksmiths.

It is precisely because of it that the monks can create huge spiritual ships that can reach the sky and the earth, travel around the seas, and carve formations on them, patrol the heaven and earth, and suppress all forces.

He thought to himself.

"No wonder Feitianmen has developed so rapidly in recent years. It turns out that it has inherited the ancient heritage."

"Master Fire Refiner, please look."

Ye Yang took him to a quiet room under strict guard, where a sphere with a diameter of about ten feet was placed.

It is crystal clear, just like a heart, with nine holes on it. It floats in the air and moves without wind.

However, two of the nine orifices had been damaged, leaving only seven still shining brightly.

It was the Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart that Ye Yang and Gu Xuan brought back from the main tomb of Tianyi Spring and Autumn.

The surface of this nine-orifice puppet heart is covered with densely packed inscription symbols, each of which flickers with a faint light, like the stars in the night sky, mysterious and distant.

Master Fire Refining reached out and excitedly stroked the Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart.

He could feel a powerful force coming.

This legendary ancient refining tool embodies the essence and wisdom of thousands of craftsmen. It is simply incredible.

His eyes were full of awe and yearning.

It was as if through this mysterious nine-orifice puppet heart, I could touch the wisdom and soul of those ancient weapon refiners and the ancient puppetry.

He seemed to sense something and gently closed his eyes, trying to establish some mysterious connection with the Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart.

As time passed, the symbol on the Nine-Aperture Puppet's heart emitted a brighter light.

The whole room was shrouded in a faint blue color, and the air was filled with a strange and ancient atmosphere.

At this moment, as he sensed, the nine-orifice puppet heart actually extended out a huge ship that could dominate the heavens and the earth in his mind.

This huge ship seems to be condensed from the dust of time, and it is engraved with the traces of countless years.

The hull is as black as ink, dark and deep, solemn and mysterious.

The outside is covered with countless iron scales, like a giant dragon across the sky.

The iron scales sparkled silver, and the scales were closely arranged, gleaming with a metallic luster, forming armor for the boat.

This makes this ancient spirit ship not only look majestic visually, but also has almost indestructible defense.

suddenly!

A huge ship appeared out of nowhere, flying in the sky, surrounded by mist, as if even the air was vibrating with its appearance, and the clouds were pushed away.

I don't know how long it flew in the sky.

The scene changed, and the huge ship was once again on the vast ocean.

As the waves hit, the scales made clanging sounds.

It's like playing the ancient song of the sea.

Under the sunlight, it reflects dazzling light.

"This huge ship looks so familiar, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

The Fire Master let out a breath.

He once read in an ancient book that ten thousand years ago, an incomparable powerful man used all his financial resources to build a huge spiritual ship that could reach the sky.

It was called the Wanxiang Sihai Ship, but he could not quite remember the name of the powerful man.

"Having a Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart as a treasure that can reach the sky, using rock, steel and wood to forge a spiritual ship that can reach the sky is simply a waste of resources."

Ye Yang glanced at Master Huo Lian.

Master Fire Refiner explained.

"To put it simply, Yan Gangmu is not worthy of this nine-aperture puppet heart, even if only seven orifices are left."

"Why not use the rockwood to build a small spiritual ship?"

"After obtaining the best high-level spiritual wood, we will use the Nine-Aperture Puppet Heart to forge a large-scale sky-reaching spiritual ship."

"This is also a good idea, but in this case, we will need to find another puppet heart."

Ye Yang groaned.

This has increased investment invisibly.

But Master Fire's suggestion is indeed good.

Although it is not necessary to use high-level spiritual materials such as White Dragon Wood and Soul-Devouring Wood.

But this is just rock, steel and wood.

It is indeed insufficient when paired with this nine-aperture puppet heart.

……

Qinglian Mo family.

On weekdays, the Mo family is always decorated with lights and is extremely lively.

But today, the Mo family is shrouded in a haze.

Because of the sudden attack of Feitianmen, Tianshe Lake, which had been developed by the Mo family for many years, fell, which was undoubtedly a frustrating thing.

And at the same time.

In the Ziyang Fire Cave of the 72 strongholds of the Iron Demon Cave, Feitianmen and the Wang family of Shanhai City have recently become more powerful.

The Liu family of Tianyuan Mountain had contact with them, but they did not dare to get too close.
"The Feitian Sect went too far and broke through the Tianshe Lake. They simply didn't take us seriously."

This sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in the hearts of the Qinglian Mo family members.

Clan leader Mo Tianji sat in the main seat, his face as gloomy as water.

A trace of pain and anger flashed in his eyes. Tianshe Lake is not only the territory of the Qinglian Mo family, but also their spiritual symbol.

Many of the Mo family’s disciples grew up under the nourishment of Tianshe Lake.

Now, all of this has vanished overnight.

"There is a Soul-Breaking Nine Ghosts Formation in the Sky Snake Lake? How did Feitianmen break it?"

The Soul-Breaking Nine Ghosts Formation is guarded by his cousin Mo Tianci, and can summon nine powerful evil ghosts.

Once you enter the formation, you will be trapped by the nine ghosts, your soul will be tortured and life will be worse than death.

Even he had no way to force it open. Someone below answered.

"It was Ye Yang and Wang Xijing, two masters of swords and sabers, who attacked together."

"The third best swordsman on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Ye Yang! The Fire Elder, Wang Xijing."

There was a hint of fear in Mo Tianji's eyes. He didn't expect that some would die or be disabled.

However, there are still many masters in Feitianmen today.

He stood up slowly, his voice low and powerful.

"Everyone, Feitianmen's move is undoubtedly a provocation to us. We cannot just sit there and wait for death. We must take action."

In the meeting room, the senior members of the Mo family gathered together, and everyone's face was filled with worry.

They knew that the strength of Feitianmen should not be underestimated.

The Mo family now has no powerful real person to suppress them, and is relatively weak.

Moreover, Feitianmen’s attack this time was obviously long-planned and aimed directly at the foundation of the Mo family.

I'm afraid it's just to make them remember it.

"Chief, we must fight back, but we should consider all factors before taking action."

A middle-aged man in a green shirt stood up. He was one of the elders of the Mo family and was very prestigious.

Mo Tianji pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's right, since Feitianmen dares to act so blatantly, they must have something to rely on."

“We can’t act blindly.”

"Are we just going to swallow our anger like this?"

Another young and energetic member of the tribe, wearing a white shirt and holding a long sword with a white snake handle behind him, said with some dissatisfaction at this moment.

He is the contemporary swordsman of the Mo family, and possesses the magical White Snake sword Mo Wuyin.

"It's not about swallowing your anger, but about keeping calm."

Mo Tianji's eyes swept over everyone present.

"We need to be calm and more importantly, we need wisdom. Feitianmen's actions this time must have a deeper meaning. If we can understand their motives, wait for them and kill them in one fell swoop, they will regret it."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became heavy.

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside.

"Report, Patriarch, the commander of the Eastern Zhuxian Army of the Dayun Dynasty is here to see you."

This news shocked everyone present, and many people looked at each other.

"What are they here for?"

"Our Mo family and the Dayun Dynasty have always kept to themselves."

"Could it be that the Dayun Dynasty is about to start another offensive war?"

This sudden news caused a commotion in the Qinglian Mo family's meeting room.

Mo Tianji frowned, he naturally knew the Eastern Zhuxian Army, that was a force that the entire Yalong Ridge was wary of.

Moreover, the cultivation system of the Dayun Dynasty has always advocated destroying clans and temples and suppressing the power of various families, which naturally makes it incompatible with them.

A gleam of light flashed in Mo Tianji's eyes.

"Since he's here, let him in first and see what's going on."

"From my perspective, I'm afraid they are here to seek cooperation from our Mo family."

He sneered. His many years of experience as a family head had already given him many guesses.

"Pass on my order to welcome the Eastern Zhuxian Army." Mo Tianji ordered in a deep voice.

He knew that the more it was at this time, the more he could not appear weak and he had to show the magnanimity of the Mo family.

Soon, the bell rang at the Mo family's house, and the gift tea and red carpet were prepared.

Soon, a team of armored and powerful men slowly walked into the Mo family's hall.

The leader was a tall man with eyes as sharp as a bird of prey.

He exudes an unparalleled majesty.

"So it's Yan Nanfei, the Heavenly Official of Broken Immortal. I've heard a lot about him."

Mo Tianji stood up quickly. This Immortal Official was proficient in the White Tiger Military Art and was very powerful. He had destroyed countless sects.

Naturally, he didn't dare to delay it any longer.

Yan Nanfei walked into the meeting room, his eyes swept across the people present, and finally fell on Mo Tianji. His voice was sonorous and powerful, very straightforward.

"Chief Mo, we are not here for war."

"The Dayun Dynasty encountered a group of rebels on the banks of the Tongtian River. They happened to be in the territory of the Mo family. We need to use the power of the Mo family to search for them."

Mo Tianji was shocked, but his expression remained calm: "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Yan Nanfei then told the whole story.

It turned out that a monk from Shengchan Temple suddenly appeared in the Eastern Zhuxian Army not long ago and forcibly converted a group of new recruits.

The new recruits shouted, "My Buddha is boundless, and I will be reborn in paradise."

He actually launched a surprise attack on the formation and escaped by force.

Many people have been caught, but because too many people were involved, they are now fleeing in all directions.

Mo Tianji pondered for a moment. This matter involved a big sect like the Wangsheng Zen Temple, and he didn't want to get involved.

"Since it was Wangsheng Zen Temple that took action, it would be inappropriate for the Mo family to get involved."

"As long as the Mo family is willing to take action, everything can be discussed."

A smile appeared on Mo Tianji's lips. He was so reserved just for this sentence.

"I have heard of General Yan's reputation. The Mo family will certainly not sit idly by if you come to their house in person. But we also have conditions."

"Please speak." Yan Nanfei spoke bluntly.

"If this cooperation is successful, when the Dayun Dynasty flattens Yalongling in the future and launches a large-scale invasion, they must guarantee the interests of the Mo family in Yalongling and promise not to infringe again."

Yan Nanfei hesitated for a moment, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Well, you are a smart man. You are not thinking about the present, but the future."

"Similarly, I am also thinking about the future. Don't worry, our Zhuxian Army has always treated its allies well. As long as you do your job well, I promise you on behalf of the Zhuxian Army."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly changed.

Mo Tianji spoke again.

"Commander Yan, the biggest threat in this area is Feitianmen. What do you think?"

Mo Tianji's smile seemed to contain endless meaning, making everyone present feel an inexplicable chill.

Yan Nanfei had a resolute face and sharp eyes, but at this moment his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he had also heard of the name of Feitianmen.

"Chief Mo, what do you mean?"

Yan Nanfei asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Mo Tianji, trying to find a clue from his eyes.

Mo Tianji smiled slightly, revealing a hint of cunning.

"Commander, don't you think this is an opportunity?"

"If we can take advantage of this desertion and eliminate the threat of Feitianmen in one fell swoop."

"In the future, when you cross the Tongtian River again, you will have one less difficult opponent."

A trace of doubt flashed across Yan Nanfei's eyes: "What do you mean..."

Mo Tianji said calmly.

"As far as I know, the leader of Feitian Sect has gone somewhere recently and has not appeared in many years. It is still unknown whether he is alive or dead."

"We can observe secretly, and once we find a flaw in Feitian Gate, we can take the opportunity to break in."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

Yan Nanfei pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Patriarch Mo, your plan is good, but Feitian Clan is not to be trifled with."

Mo Tianji snorted coldly.
