Now that he had woken up, Yu Zhe instinctively thought that he was still in that secret room. He had never thought that he had already been moved without anyone noticing. Even though it was still an underground secret room, it was no longer the same room he had been in before.
"Then … who are you? Why did you bring me here? " Yu Zhe rejoiced in his heart but immediately became vigilant again. Could it be that he had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den?
The dark and gloomy secret room in front of him was even more indestructible than Nan Tianba's and there was nowhere to escape to. If this mysterious person really wanted to save him, why would he bring him to this kind of place!
"You're quite vigilant. It seems that I didn't save you for nothing." The mysterious man paused for a moment and suddenly smiled meaningfully. "To be honest, I admire you very much. It's rare to see a person who can kill his own master with his own hands. In terms of temperament, you meet my requirements very well!"
"What do you mean?" Yu Zhe became more cautious. He inconspicuously moved backwards, trying to stay as far away from this mysterious person as possible.
He had indeed killed Nan Tianyong with his own hands, but he still felt very guilty about this matter. Normally, he did not dare and did not want to take the initiative to think about this matter. However, from the mysterious person's attitude, this person seemed to admire him very much. Wasn't he a pervert?
Seeing Yu Zhe's cautious expression, the mysterious person did not mind and lightly said, "It's nothing. I only saved you because I admire you. Otherwise, you would have been cut into pieces by Nan Tianba in front of everyone! However, don't think about running away now that you're here. That's not realistic. Also, I believe that you're not stupid enough to go out and seek death. "
After saying this, the mysterious person's killing intent almost materialized for a moment. Even if it was only for a short moment, the shock it gave Yu Zhe was unforgettable. This mysterious person in front of him. He was not an existence that Nan Tianba could fight against!
Yu Zhe took a deep breath and finally recognized his current situation. His previous thoughts were not wrong. He had indeed just left the wolf's den and had immediately fallen into an even more dangerous tiger's den.
"What does your excellency want me to do?" Yu Zhe stared at the figure in the darkness and asked.
The mysterious person did not speak and threw something over. It landed in front of Yu Zhe and made a clanking sound.
Yu Zhe was shocked. He thought that it was a hidden weapon that could kill someone, but in the next moment … His eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the stone in front of him, unable to move his eyes away.
After a long time, Yu Zhe swallowed a few times, his face filled with disbelief as he stammered, "This … this is Star … Star Inkstone?!"
"Your eyesight isn't bad. There's no mistaking it. This is starinkstone. However, half of it has already been used up." The mysterious man nodded calmly.
"Used half?" Yu Zhe couldn't help but stare blankly when he heard this. He observed carefully under the dim light. Only then did he discover that this piece of Star Inkstone was not the one he had seen at the Hong Merchant House. Not only was its shape different, its color and foundation were clearly weaker.
Even so, this was a treasure that Yu Zhe dreamed of. The Star Inkstone could allow one to perfectly break through to the most powerful Golden Core stage, and even if one used half of the Star Inkstone, the supplementary effects wouldn't be too bad.
Seeing Yu Zhe's greedy expression, as if he wanted nothing more than to swallow the Star Inkstone into his stomach, the mysterious person laughed. Not only will you be able to keep your life, but this half of the starinkstone will also be yours. How about it? "
"This …" Although Yu Zhe's mind was already clouded by the Star Inkstone, he hadn't completely lost his reason. Hearing this, he immediately hesitated and struggled.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer a loss. This piece of Star Inkstone is only an advance payment to you, that's all." The mysterious person paused, and then his tone changed. "Of course, if you don't agree, that's fine. I won't kill you. I will only return the item to its rightful owner and send you back to the hands of Nan Tianba."
Yu Zhe quivered and remembered that with his current situation, he didn't dare to go out. Without the protection of this mysterious person, his fate would be death by a thousand cuts.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhe didn't hesitate any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree. Then what do you want me to do now?"
The mysterious person wasn't surprised at this and said calmly, "There's nothing I want you to do right now. You just need to focus on cultivating here and quickly increase your strength. When I need you, I will naturally notify you."
"I understand. No matter what, many thanks for your kindness in saving my life. In the future, if you have any orders, I will definitely go through fire and water and offer my life to you!" Yu Zhe immediately swore and flattered.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious person said mockingly, "You don't need to do this with me. You're someone who can even kill his own master without blinking. Do you think I will believe your cheap oath? Remember, never play tricks in front of me. If this happens again, I will make you regret not dying at the hands of Nan Tianba. "
After saying this, the mysterious person's figure flickered and disappeared right in front of Yu Zhe's eyes.
It was a simple sentence, but the feeling of being seen through was even more frightening to Yu Zhe than the physical killing intent from before. He was filled with lingering fear.
However, Yu Zhe's attention quickly shifted back to the Star Ink Stone. All sorts of experiences had made him deeply understand that only when one's own strength was powerful, everything else was fleeting. This Star Ink Stone was a cheat that could allow him to ascend the path of the strong!
Yu Zhe's disappearance had caused a huge uproar in the Three Great Pavilions. However, Lin Yi knew nothing about it. During this period of time, he had stayed with the Tattered King and focused on his great business of forging.
Seven days had passed since Kang Ming Ming and Nan Tianba had come looking for trouble. As early as three days ago, the most basic warm-up stage had already ended. Now, it was time for the most crucial part of forging.
The more powerful the divine weapon, the higher the requirements for the forging master. There couldn't be the slightest mistake during the forging process. Even if there was a slight deviation of half a centimeter, the final result might be completely different from what one had expected.
Extremely rare materials such as the Ten Thousand Year Tree Crystal and the Ancient Pure Soil would also be burnt to ashes. From then on, they would become a pile of waste, which made one sigh with regret.
Not only was Lin Yi unwilling to see such a tragic result, but the Tattered King, who regarded forging as his life, was even more unwilling to see it.
For the past few months, the Tattered King had spent a lot of effort on forging. Even compared to Lin Yi, who had provided many extremely rare materials, the amount he had spent was no less.
