The City Lord's Office was also very quiet at this moment. Many top cultivators were staring at the armorer's arena.
If the previous two rounds were coincidences, with many usually unknown armorer revealing their strength, then in this round, there was a powerful armorer who had defeated Meng Yan. Could he possibly be a nobody?
Such a person would definitely be very famous. A top armorer of Renhuang, all forces would fight for him. If he cultivated alone, he would also become rich and famous.
But such a person, no one in the City Lord's Office of Tianyan City knew him. They had never seen or heard of him.
Was this possible?
The probability was too low.
"Starting from the upper Renhuang plane," someone said. Everyone nodded. This anomaly had indeed started from the seventh round of armorer's, which was the upper Renhuang plane. After the eighth and ninth rounds, the same situation occurred.
"Meng Yan's armorer's level is not necessarily weaker than his. He was just too confident, and he had the right to be confident. But he did not expect that someone as strong as him would appear," someone from the City Lord's Office said. Not just Meng Yan, but even they did not expect it.
After all, Meng Yan's armorer's level was truly at the top of the Renhuang plane.
Who would have thought that someone would appear to compete with him, and not be weaker than him?
Meng Yan sought stability, but his opponent had forged powerful divine arms and ritual implements. In comparison, Meng Yan's divine arms were suppressed, and so he lost.
Many people nodded in agreement. Meng Yan's armorer's level was indeed not lower than his opponent's, but … what a pity!
Such a powerful armorer had been eliminated.
"Go see where Master Meng Yan went, and invite him to the City Lord's Office as a guest," a top figure from the City Lord's Office said. A peak-level character in the City Lord Manor spoke. Instantly, someone left to carry out the order. Moreover, quite a few powerful characters were dispatched to search for Grandmaster Meng Yan.
Meng Yan was proud by nature. With this failure, he did not even have the right to enter the City Lord's Office to practice armorer. Then, he might leave directly and never appear in Tianyan City again. Naturally, he would not enter the City Lord's Office to practice armorer.
Based on Meng Yan's personality, it was most likely that he would bitterly cultivate his craftsmanship, and one day, when he was able to craft a Secondary Heavenly Weapon, he would perhaps come out of seclusion again.
Those weapon forging grandmasters who had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion gathered together. They had also seen the spectacular showdown and felt a little pity for Meng Yan. If he had come to the City Lord's Mansion, he would also be able to have an extraordinary performance.
But now, he had left alone, leaving with a reputation of failure.
"The ninth round of the crafting competition is over. Next, we'll wait for them to enter the City Lord's Mansion for the tenth round of the crafting competition." At this time, the City Lord of Tianyan City said, "In the tenth round, all the craftsmen who come to the City Lord's Mansion will forge weapons together. At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion will also select a powerful craftsman from each realm to participate in the competition. In addition, those in the Crossing Calamity Realm who can forge Secondary Heavenly Weapons do not need to participate in the previous competitions. They can directly participate in the tenth round of the competition."
There were not many craftsmen in the Crossing Calamity Realm who could forge Secondary Heavenly Weapons in the entire Divine Prefecture. Did such existences who could forge Secondary Heavenly Weapons still need to participate in the previous competitions?
They were the top craftsmen in the Divine Prefecture.
"Finally, it's coming." Many people were looking forward to it. The tenth round of crafting would be held in the City Lord's Mansion. It was also the final showdown. All the most powerful craftsmen of different realms would gather together and forge weapons together.
Moreover, if one could stand out in this crafting competition, not only would they be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion, they would also receive many rewards. Even if they chose not to enter the City Lord's Mansion, they could join any of the top forces at will and receive the focus of their training.
It was the same no matter which realm one was in. No one would miss out on a craftsman with great potential.
Therefore, this crafting competition was more important to those of lower realms. It concerned their future.
As for the craftsmen of higher realms, they had already become famous and were respected by all. Wherever they went, they were the focus of attention. Of course, they also needed the giant forces to provide them with better resources to help them cultivate.
Only when one's cultivation realm increased could one's crafting ability improve.
Whether it was crafting or alchemy, it was hard to believe that one only had talent in crafting and alchemy. The cultivation realm was the foundation. Without cultivation, even if one had talent in crafting and alchemy, it would be meaningless.
Ye Futian was still in the crowd watching all this happen. The City Lord of Tianyan City and the cultivators of the City Lord's Mansion were calm and collected. They did not show the slightest sign of abnormality. But in fact, they should have guessed that there were secret forces involved in this crafting competition.
This time, the craftsmen had already exceeded their expectations. It was very likely that they would go in a direction that they could not predict. In other words, they could no longer control the direction of this crafting competition. Even if this crafting competition was initiated by them, they could not just say that some people were not allowed to participate in this crafting competition!
If that happened, Tianyan City's reputation would be tarnished, and this century-old grand event would become a joke.
Of course, for Ye Futian, he naturally did not mind seeing this happen. This crafting feast still had a hidden goal against the Ziwei Segmentum. But now, someone had come to stir things up. Of course, he was happy to see it happen.
He even hoped to stir things up a little more.
Now, perhaps everyone was guessing who the secret force was.
Ye Futian was also guessing.
Who had such a strong power to mobilize a group of top craftsmen to participate in the crafting competition?
In the Divine Prefecture, there was only one force that might have this ability: the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyan City.
But the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyan City was the host of the grand event. Therefore, the secret force might not be a force from the Divine Prefecture.
So, who else could it be?
The answer was already obvious.
The Dark Court and the Empty Divine Mountain.
Only these two forces could mobilize the top craftsmen here to participate in the crafting competition. This also meant that the cultivators of the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm had come to the Divine Prefecture.
Donghuang Diyuan and the cultivators of the Imperial Palace also guessed so. At this moment, the divine light in their eyes was restrained. Who had come from these two worlds?
Or, they had all come.
Now, they dared to come directly to the territory of the Divine Prefecture. They were really presumptuous.
However, without any evidence, they could not just directly arrest and denounce the appearance of a powerful craftsmen.
Perhaps there really were hidden figures among them?
This crafting competition seemed to be getting more and more exciting.
Everyone in the entire Tianyan City was looking forward to the tenth round of crafting.
Many of the top figures in the City Lord's Mansion were chatting as they waited. Not long after, from the south, people could be seen walking along the road. They were the winners of the ninth round of the Artifact Forging Competition.
The south side had been empty before, but more and more people had gathered there. They were all the winners of the Artifact Forging Competition.
When the winners of the ninth round of the crafting competition arrived, the inside and outside of the City Lord's Mansion gradually quieted down.
Many people looked at the black-robed man in the middle. He was the craftsmen who had defeated Meng Yan. Where did he come from?
They saw that the black-robed man was calm. He looked straight ahead and did not show the slightest abnormality. The others were the same. They stood quietly in the crowd. They were only cultivators who had come to participate in the crafting competition.
"You can leave as well," said the City Lord of Tianyan City. Suddenly, behind him, nine figures walked out at the same time.
Nine people, each corresponding to a realm, represented the highest level of crafting in the City Lord's Mansion.
They came to the opposite side of those people, separated by nine high platforms. This crafting competition was also a confrontation between the craftsmen of the City Lord's Mansion and those of the outside world.
Every hundred years, the City Lord's Mansion would have half of the winners.
"Next, let's invite the craftsmen of the Tribulation Realm. Whether you are inside or outside the City Lord's Mansion, you can fly directly into the City Lord's Mansion." The City Lord of Tianyan City said loudly. His voice spread throughout Tianyan City. This was the greatest respect for craftsmen of this level. They could fly directly into the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, from both sides, three figures walked out. They were all craftsmen of the Tribulation Realm. Such people were extremely rare, but because this was the largest crafting competition in the Divine Prefecture, they had also come.
Outside, high up in the sky, two figures appeared. They landed on the ground and bowed slightly to the City Lord of Tianyan City. They said, "Greetings, City Lord Wang."
"You must have worked hard to come from afar," said the City Lord of Tianyan City. "If there is anyone else, please come quickly."
After a while, another person appeared in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion. This person's temperament was also extraordinary. When he appeared, the cultivators of the City Lord's Mansion asked each other, but no one recognized this person.
They all knew the five people who had appeared before, but no one recognized this craftsman.
The City Lord of Tianyan City's eyes also became serious. He looked at the other person and saw that person land on the ground. He bowed in the direction of the City Lord of Tianyan City and said, "Craftsman Mu Yan greets the City Lord."
"Mu Yan!"
No one had heard of this name.
"Where did the master come from?" asked the City Lord of Tianyan City.
"Mu Yan came to participate in the crafting competition. It doesn't matter where I came from," replied Mu Yan. The City Lord of Tianyan City stared at him, but he could not force him to answer. He turned his head and looked at a rather young figure sitting behind him. He said, "You can leave as well."
"Yes." The man nodded and then stepped out. At this moment, in Tianyan City, countless people looked at him through the mirror image in the sky. This was the person who had been the talk of Tianyan City recently. He was the top genius who had been hidden by the City Lord's Mansion. It was not until recently that the people of Tianyan City knew of his existence!
