The Hidden Weapons Valley was located in the eastern part of the Ghost Region. It was one of the three controlling forces and was famous for crafting treasures.
Though there were no masters of crafts, there were more than 10 masters at the peak of the Ghost Region. In terms of craftsmanship, they were considered the best in the entire City of Ascension.
The Valley Leader was the top of the Undefeatable Realm, second only to those who approached the Dao. He was one of the strongest cultivators in the Ghost Region and the strongest craftsman.
Below the Valley Leader were the 10 Elders. They were all masters at the peak of craftsmanship and cultivators of the Sage Realm.
These 10 people had high statuses, especially the Third Elder, who was highly regarded by the Valley Leader. He was second only to the Valley Leader.
Currently, the Third Elder was sitting in a lotus position and forming a hand seal.
Light appeared, fire rose, and the golden cauldron vibrated.
But in the blink of an eye, the light disappeared and the golden cauldron calmed down.
"I failed again …"
The Third Elder softly sighed. Five days ago, he was asked by his friend to craft a first realm heavenly sword.
In the end, he failed again and again. So far, he had failed seven times.
"With my skill, crafting a first realm weapon is not difficult. Why do I keep failing?" The Third Elder frowned, unable to figure out what went wrong.
Just as he was racking his brains, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
"There are two heavenly materials that counter each other. Get rid of them and you will succeed."
As soon as the voice trailed off, a man in white pushed open the door. His demeanor was dazzling and extraordinary.
It was Ling Xian.
Though the Hidden Weapons Valley was one of the three controlling forces in the Ghost Region and was guarded by a Venerable, with his abilities, sneaking into the Hidden Weapons Valley was not difficult.
"Who are you?" The Third Elder's expression changed. It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, it was that what happened was far too shocking.
The fact that Ling Xian could say that the two heavenly materials countered each other meant that he witnessed the entire crafting process and the Third Elder didn't even notice.
This meant if Ling Xian ambushed him, he would definitely succeed.
Thinking about how he almost died, the Third Elder's heart skipped a beat.
"Someone who knows your real identity."
Ling Xian grinned. The man in green didn't tell him the Third Elder's real identity. He only said he was a spy.
But that didn't matter. As long as the Third Elder was a spy, Ling Xian had to listen to him.
"True identity …"
The Third Elder's pupils shrank, but he quickly calmed down and said, "The Third Elder of the Weapon Depository Valley is my true identity."
"Don't bother explaining. I know you're a spy."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. Normal people, when they hear something they don't understand, would be a little startled.
Third Elder didn't.
This meant that he understood, which meant that the azure-robed man was right.
"I think you're the spy. Why did you sneak into my Weapons Depository Valley?" The Third Elder sneered. Many magical treasures appeared, surrounded by divine light.
"I advise you to be quiet. Disturbing the leader of the Valley of Weapons is not a good thing for you." Ling Xian's expression was calm and collected.
The Third Elder's identity as a traitor meant that he wouldn't dare to speak out loud. He also meant that he had to listen to Ling Xian.
"I am the Third Elder of the Weapon Depository Valley, the most trusted person of the Valley Master. Do you think he will trust me or you?"
The Third Elder's eyes were cold, "If you know what's good for you, then get the f * ck out of here. I can pretend that nothing happened. If not, then leave your life behind."
"To be honest, I don't know who your real master is. But I do know that you can't survive an investigation."
Ling Xian grinned, "I believe that with the Valley Master's abilities, it won't be hard for him to find out who you really are. How do you think the Valley Master will punish you?"
Hearing this, the Third Elder's face darkened.
Just like Ling Xian said, he could not survive an investigation. With the Valley Master's abilities, if he wants to investigate, he can definitely find out who he really is.
At that time, the Weapon Depository Valley Master would definitely make him beg for death.
"My most trusted confidant is a spy. To anyone, this is intolerable."
"No matter how generous the Valley Master is, he won't let you go."
Ling Xian said softly, "The only thing you can do is block my mouth."
"You are right. I have to block your mouth." The Third Elder's expression turned cold. Many magical treasures circled around him. Without exception, all of them were emitting a terrifying Qi.
However, it was not enough to scare Ling Xian.
Ignoring the fact that they were merely of the first realm, even if they were all supreme weapons, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Killing you is the easiest and most effective way. But, you have to think about your own capabilities."
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. The Third Elder was merely of the intermediate stage of the holy rudiment realm. He could kill this person with a wave of his hand.
Therefore, he formed an array and surrounded the area.
Then, Ling Xian unleashed his demigod Qi. Like a mountain, the Third Elder lost his composure and found it hard to breathe.
With his level of cultivation, even if he were to face a regular Zun, he wouldn't be able to fight back. How could he fight against Ling Xian?
"You … you are a half-step!" The Third Elder was terrified. His face was white and he couldn't move.
Ling Xian's Qi was far too terrifying. It was as if hundreds of thousands of mountains were pressing down on him. Even breathing was difficult.
"Now, you don't want to kill me, right?" Ling Xian softly grinned and retracted his Qi.
This made the Third Elder sigh in relief. His back was soaked.
He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "Senior, you must be joking. Even if I have 100 guts, I wouldn't dare to attack you."
Then, he smiled. His change from arrogance to humility made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh.
In the Taoism community, fists rule. If his cultivation level wasn't as high as the Third Elder, then he would've been on the road to hell by now.
"I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai. Please don't lower yourself to my level." The Third Elder was panicking, afraid that Ling Xian would send him on his way.
"Don't worry. If I wanted to kill you, I would've done so a long time ago. There's no need to waste time with you."
Ling Xian glared at the Third Elder. This person was the Valley Leader's most trusted aide and was of great use to him.
"Then I wonder what you want me to do? If it is within my capabilities, I will not decline. "
The Third Elder expressed his stance. Since Ling Xian knew he was a traitor and he couldn't defeat Ling Xian, he had no other choice but to compromise.
"Very well."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, "The Plate of Human Path of Samsara. You've heard of it."
Hearing this, the Third Elder's heart dropped. He realized what Ling Xian wanted to do. To him, this was far too dangerous.
He pretended to be confused and smiled, "Of course I've heard of the Plate of Human Path. It's just that I don't understand what you mean."
"You really don't understand?"
Ling Xian glared at the Third Elder, "I can ruin your reputation and make your life a living hell. You better think carefully before you answer me."
Hearing this, the Third Elder shuddered. He knew he couldn't hide anymore.
If he continued to act dumb, then what awaited him would be a life worse than death.
He bitterly smiled, "I … I understand."
"Since you understand, then what should you do?" Ling Xian grinned.
"I should tell you where the Plate of Human Path of Samsara is. I should do my best to help you get it." The Third Elder sighed helplessly.
