One night, Wang Jin went to the Golden Hook Casino after his shift ended. After losing all his money, he sighed and walked home.
However, he did not notice that an inconspicuous figure was tailing him all the way.
When they reached a dimly lit alley, the figure behind them suddenly sped up and rushed past Wang Jin.
Wang Jin was still wary at first, but he relaxed when he saw that the person was just passing by.
However, just as he let his guard down, the man suddenly launched an attack and appeared in front of him as if he had teleported. A heavy punch landed on his chest, sending him flying backward and crashing into the wall.
Bang!
"Ah!"
Wang Jin was incomparably shocked and furious. He only felt that his internal organs had shifted positions. He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but a large hand grabbed his throat and lifted him into the air, causing him to almost suffocate.
"If you want to die, you can try screaming!"
Lin Xuan said coldly.
"Huo … Huo! I won't scream. Spare me, hero! "
Wang Jin begged in agony. His face was red.
Lin Xuan retracted his hand and Wang Jin fell to the ground. Before he could catch his breath, Lin Xuan took out a leather rope and tied him up tightly. He also gagged him.
Then, he carried Wang Jin and flipped into a dilapidated house not far away.
The owner of the house had left for business and had not returned for many years. The house was in disrepair and rumor had it that it was haunted. No one dared to live there.
Lin Xuan chose to make his move here mainly because he had his eyes on the house.
They entered a dilapidated house in the house. Lin Xuan threw Wang Jin to the ground with a thud. He tore off the cloth covering Wang Jin's mouth and stepped on him.
"I have a few questions for you. If I'm satisfied, I can spare your life. If you dare to hide anything from me, I'll make sure you die a horrible death." Lin Xuan sat on a broken rattan chair. Lin Xuan looked at Wang Jin from above.
"Feel free to ask. This lowly one will tell you everything he knows," Wang Jin said hurriedly.
From Lin Xuan's body, he could feel a dense baleful aura. This was a baleful aura that had been condensed from the slaughter of countless people. He knew that he could not afford to offend such a person and only wanted to preserve his own life.
"I want to know, how many swordsmiths are locked up in the dungeon?" Lin Xuan asked.
Wang Jin's expression changed slightly as he looked at Lin Xuan in shock. It was as if he wanted to see Lin Xuan's appearance through the dim light.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan's back was facing the light, so he could only see a vague and ferocious silhouette.
"You want to know what I look like?" Lin Xuan sneered.
"No no no! I don't want to know! "
Wang Jin suddenly regained his senses and hurriedly shook his head.
He knew that if he really saw this person's face clearly, there would be no chance of survival.
With a pale face, he said, "Let the hero know that there is only one swordsmith in the dungeon right now."
"Oh? How can there be only one? "Lin Xuan was stunned.
The Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword had been in his possession for less than a year. It was said that every year, there were many Sword Maste disciples who tried to make the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword recognize them as its master. Many people died because of this sword. These people who died should have left behind a trace of their consciousness in the World of Legacy.
However, Wang Jin said that there was only one person in the dungeon. This made Lin Xuan somewhat suspicious.
Seeing that Lin Xuan's expression was not right, Wang Jin hurriedly explained, "Although those swordsmiths have a long lifespan, they will eventually die of old age.
Moreover, after they are imprisoned, they will be subjected to countless tortures to interrogate them for everything they know. Therefore, very few of them can live for more than three months.
The only reason why this one swordsmith is still alive is because this person is too terrifying. Even his gaze can kill. Other than the previous Old City Lord who captured him, no one dares to get within ten steps of him. "
"Gaze can kill?"
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Gaze could kill. This was a Spiritual Attack. To be able to reach this level, one had to be a Transcendent Realm expert in the Realm of True Force.
Although he was a Heavenly Transformation Realm expert, his consciousness was still far from being able to kill with his gaze.
Lin Xuan felt a headache coming on. He had originally planned to sneak into the dungeon and meet with those "swordsmiths" to interrogate them about the Seven Deadly Sword Intent Inheritance. However, now that he knew that there was only one dangerous person who could kill with his gaze, he could not help but hesitate.
With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to gain an advantage in front of that person.
He looked at Wang Jin again and asked, "Are you familiar with swordsmiths?"
"Yes, I have participated in interrogations of swordsmiths many times, so I am very familiar with them," Wang Jin hurriedly said.
Lin Xuan smiled sinisterly, "Oh? Then tell me, how do swordsmiths forge swords? What taboos do they have? What rules do they have to abide by? If you make any mistakes, hmph, for every mistake or omission, I will cut off one of your fingers! "
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, hero. I know all of these problems very well.
If a swordsmiths want to forge the Seven Deadly Divine Sword, they have to kill four thousand nine hundred unrighteous, unloyal, unfilial, unwise, brave, and untrustworthy people. They have to collect their souls and use them to forge the sword.
Swordsmiths cannot kill the innocent. If the person they kill does not meet the criteria of the Seven Deadly Divine Swords, they will never be able to forge the divine sword and will never be able to leave this place. "
"What! There is such a rule! "
Lin Xuan's expression couldn't help but turn extremely ugly.
He had already killed two people. One was a city guard, the other was a middle-aged scholar. If these two people were not in the Seven Deadly Divine Swords, then wouldn't he be finished?
Wang Jin saw that Lin Xuan had lost his composure. His eyes turned, as if he had vaguely thought of something, and he could not help but be even more shocked.
He thought for a moment, then braced himself and asked carefully, "Hero, are you the wanted swordsmiths?"
"Hmm?" Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold.
Wang Jin was so frightened that his body trembled. He hurriedly said, "Hero, please spare my life. I have no ill intentions towards you. I know that you are worried about the two dead people, but you can rest assured. Zhang Liuzi was originally a bandit. He betrayed his elder brother and brought a group of brothers to seek refuge with the authorities. That was how he became a city guard, so Zhang Liuzi was a disloyal and unrighteous villain.
As for Li Xiucai from the south of the city, he was even worse. He wanted to marry the young lady of the city lord's family, but he actually divorced his wife and chased her out of the house.
His wife was penniless and helpless, so she was defiled by a group of beggars. In the end, she could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Therefore, Li Xiucai was also a heartless villain. You killed him to rid the people of evil. "
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely. If I'm lying, I'm willing to be struck by lightning!" Wang Jin said solemnly.
"Phew …"
Lin Xuan exhaled deeply and relaxed.
Since he knew that the two people that he killed were in the Seven Deadly Divine Swords, he was relieved.
Nevertheless, he secretly warned himself that he must not kill indiscriminately here in the future. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he killed the wrong person.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, so he quickly asked, "Apart from humans, are other living beings counted? For example, wolves?"
"Huh?" Wang Jin was stunned and immediately shook his head. "I don't think living beings other than humans are counted. Anyway, I didn't see the swordsmiths in the past go easy on wild beasts in the wild."
"That's good." Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "Continue. What other rules do swordsmiths have to follow?"
Wang Jin said, "That's basically it. Oh, right, there's one more thing. There's a time limit for swordsmiths here. It seems that the shorter the time it takes to forge a divine sword, the higher the grade of the divine sword obtained.
The time limit is divided into three months, half a year, one year, and three years. They correspond to supreme-grade divine sword, upper-grade divine sword, middle-grade divine sword, and inferior-grade divine sword. "
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up and he seemed to be deep in thought.
If he guessed correctly, supreme-grade, upper-grade, middle-grade, and inferior-grade corresponded to the Seven Deadly Sword Essence's Perfection, Great Achievement, Small Achievement, and Beginner.
In other words, the shorter the time he used, the more inheritance he would obtain and the closer he would be to perfection.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and asked, "How did the previous swordsmiths collect souls? How did they determine whether the target should be killed? "
Wang Jin looked at Lin Xuan in confusion. At this moment, he was already doubting his previous judgment. This swordsmith clearly did not know anything. This was very different from the previous swordsmiths.
Although Wang Jin muttered in his heart, he did not dare to be negligent. He said, "As far as I know, every swordsmith knows a mysterious technique. Not only can they determine whether the target belongs to the Seven Deadly Swords, but they can also seal the soul."
When Lin Xuan heard this, he could not help but feel even more annoyed. This so-called mysterious technique probably required the Seven Deadly Sword's spirit to impart it to him first. It could be considered as a stepping stone for him to receive the inheritance.
However, the sword spirit did not reveal a single word to him!
"How much do you know about this mysterious technique?" Lin Xuan asked.
"There's something you don't know. Only swordsmiths know those techniques, and no matter how we interrogate them, they don't dare to reveal anything. Or perhaps, they don't even know how to impart them to others," Wang Jin said.
Lin Xuan's face darkened. Some profound secret techniques could not be imparted through words. Furthermore, if one could not cultivate the technique to perfection, he could not impart it to others.
Lin Xuan could not help but fall into a dilemma.
He realized that he could not find his way.
If he could not learn the secret technique of sealing souls, he would not be able to collect souls with his mortal body. It would also be difficult for him to distinguish between loyalty and filial piety.
However, those secret techniques required the Seven Deadly Sword's spirit to impart them. However, he could not count on the Seven Deadly Sword's spirit at all. That fellow probably wanted him to die here.
