When he noticed the change in the young people's expressions, Happy immediately determined that he had given himself away. Based on the young people's expressions when they bullied Mu Li, he should have displayed Arm Strength that was stronger than Mu Li's. He immediately sucked in a deep breath and circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill to be ready to handle any sudden changes in the situation while he continued to quietly carry the wooden bucket to Sword Pool 68.
Even though he might have already been exposed!
Happy still had a hint of hope in his heart.
As long as he was not completely exposed, he still had hope.
After all …
He had a human skin mask and a perfect disguise. Mu Li would not immediately suspect him. Besides, if he had been in Sword Crafting Hall for a long time, Mu Li should have the strength of a normal Sword Crafting Hall disciple. He should have been bullied because he was a newbie. A newbie should not be understood much.
Countless thoughts flashed in Happy's mind. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and continued to walk steadily to Sword Pool.
But …
This was just Happy's imagination and deduction. He could not guarantee that no accidents would happen.
Hence, Happy was prepared for the worst.
He calmed down and got rid of the deafening voices. He stared at the actions of the dazed young man behind him with his body tense. As long as he shouted a warning or exposed his identity, he would immediately throw away the wooden bucket in his hands without hesitation, give up on the quest, and charge out of Heaven Shaker Fortress!
Even though the people from the three great factions of power surrounded Sword Crafting Hall, Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him. As long as he had enough time to change his equipment, even a Myth Realm martial artist might not be able to kill him.
"That brat has been pretending to be weak all this while."
"He came in at the same time as us, but he's already so strong."
"Could it be that we made him carry wooden buckets every day made him stronger?"
"Damn it!"
The group of young people waited until Mu Li left into the distance with the wooden buckets before they sucked in a deep breath and discussed among themselves.
"He's gone!"
In the end, the group of young people came to a conclusion. Their act of slacking off and bullying others had helped the person they looked down on the most grow faster and become an official Sword Crafting Hall disciple.
The group of people went to pick up their wooden buckets with great regret.
Each person picked up one bucket with great difficulty. Then, the wooden buckets on the ground were quickly divided among themselves. The group of young people also scattered like birds.
"That was close."
Happy let out a long sigh.
After confirming that there was no danger of his identity being exposed, he shifted his attention from behind him to Sword Pool 68, which was not far away from him!
Sword Pool 68 was close to the core of Sword Crafting Hall. It was a huge sword pool with a diameter of more than thirty feet, and there were more than ten tall crafting platforms surrounding it. There were more than ten men who held Recondite Steel Hammers in their hands. They swung their hammers as if they were light, and the rhythm of their strikes was incredibly smooth. The shadows of the hammers practically overlapped with each other in the air. Each action and the magnitude of each strike was the same, but there seemed to be some differences.
"What a great northern clan."
Happy's initial guess was that the swordsmiths from the mighty northern clan should be the most elite in Sword Crafting Hall. They were in Inaction Realm, and their strength could rival that of Sword Sect's disciples.
When he saw this, Happy suddenly felt a little strange.
With the mighty northern clan's great foundation of power, how many people would Sword Sect have to send to suppress them and safely take away Heaven Crystal from the hands of the mighty northern clan and the Nangong Clan?
While he thought about it, he imitated the other disciples and obediently added something to the Sword Crafting Platform that needed carbon. Then, under the forgemaster's contemplative gaze, he walked to the next spot.
"This way!"
The other Sword Crafting Platforms were calling for materials.
The job was very simple. He just needed to place a wooden barrel filled with carbon there, and the forgemaster beside him could add an appropriate amount of it according to his needs.
However …
Every time he got close to the sword pools, a wave of heat that came crashing into his face would make him feel suffocated and displeased.
Fortunately, he could circulate Nine Yang Divine Skill at will.
"Mu Li, come here."
When he left Sword Pool 68, Happy heard a familiar voice calling out to him. It was Ten Thousand Swords who sent a private message to him.
Happy did not turn his head around to look. He continued walking to the next spot.
"Not bad. There were no flaws in your performance just now! By the looks of it, you should be familiar with some of the things in Sword Crafting Hall. This is good. "
Ten Thousand Swords seemed to have been observing Happy in the dark.
The voice came again.
"But you have to be careful. Heaven Crystal is not repaired in the hall of Sword Crafting Hall. Do you see the place where the Sword Sect disciples, mighty northern clan, and Nangong Clan are guarding? There's an entrance there, and it's a secret underground sword crafting room."
Happy's heart trembled. He quickly spread out his spirit sense and found an entrance guarded by more than ten Inaction Realm martial artists dozens of feet to the east.
Ten Thousand Swords turned into a normal Sword Crafting Hall disciple. He followed behind Happy and explained to him, "There's a unique underground sword crafting room inside. It's used by the mighty northern clan to create divine weapons!"
"The restoration of Heaven Crystal should be nearing its end. These people only appeared here during the day, and right now, they've used up a lot of their qi."
Happy frowned. He quickly noticed that the group of people surrounding the entrance of the underground sword crafting room were surrounded by a few huge sword pools. The temperature around them seemed to be much higher than where they were. Everyone's faces were abnormally red, and their breathing quickened. In fact, some of them had already sat down cross-legged to resist the evaporation of their qi due to the high temperature.
"…"
While Happy added carbon to the sword crafting platforms nearby, his thoughts raced. 'This sort of environment is clearly more beneficial to the mighty northern clan. The Sword Sect elites want to take Heaven Crystal away from the mighty northern clan's territory?
Soon!
Happy had already put down all the wooden buckets in his hands. He had to leave the core region and enter with another bucket. There were nearly one thousand sword crafting platforms in Sword Crafting Hall, and they used up carbon very quickly. He had to constantly maintain a supply.
On his way back, Happy finally found a chance to walk side by side with Ten Thousand Swords.
Those whose qi had reached six hundred points could send private messages!
His lips moved slightly, and Happy sent a private message to Ten Thousand Swords.
"There are plenty of people from the mighty northern clan. It might be difficult for Sword Sect to attack them. How are we supposed to get Heaven Crystal?" At the same time, Happy told Ten Thousand Swords about Torn Armies.
"…"
Ten Thousand Swords was silent for a few seconds before he spoke again.
"We never thought about leaving Heaven Shaker Fortress alive, but we can't let Sword Sect have their way. Brother Happy, I hope that you can help us and take revenge for us."
"… What do you mean?" Happy's expression changed. He could sense an incredibly great will to die from Ten Thousand Swords' tone!
"With Sword Sect's methods and preparations, they definitely have a meticulous plan. Let's wait and act according to the situation." Once he finished speaking, Ten Thousand Swords walked past Happy to pick up the wooden bucket to the left.
Happy cast a quick glance at Ten Thousand Swords' back. With a little unease, he continued doing what Mu Li should do.
Sword Crafting Hall was still bustling with activity!
