CHAPTER 791: CHAPTER 487: HUGE BLADE_3

Xia Wei’s power was terrifying; she was one of just three Shepherd Star Saints in the Xukun Family, her profession a Thermal Stringer advanced into "Flame King," highly favored by the Xukun Dragon King.

Since Xukun Tianlin had lost the Azure Sky Ring, the Xukun Dragon King had sent her to Donghuang Island to wait for an opportunity to retrieve the Azure Sky Ring.

Just now, Xukun Tianlin had reported the latest situation.

After discussion, Xia Wei worried that taking action on Donghuang Island might affect the Cangming Auction and cause destruction, potentially angering the Bibo Dragon Emperor; they ultimately decided to continue waiting for the right moment while she also attended the auction.

Xia Wei instructed Xukun Tianlin to keep a close watch on her.

The Xukun Family’s forces had been deployed across Donghuang Island, including at the Jump Arrays, inserting spies everywhere.

Once there were signs of her leaving Donghuang Island, they were to immediately have Xukun Tianlin follow her and decisively take action.

"Drag it out and see who has more patience," Ji Xinghuo had seized the initiative and was not very afraid.

He, of course, did not wish to clash with a Shepherd Star Saint, which was tantamount to seeking death.

If he couldn’t defeat them, he would only have to run.

This was, indeed, something he was skilled at.

As Ji Xinghuo was considering how he could safely extract himself, a knock sounded at the door, and standing outside was Cang Ya. His heart stirred as he immediately guessed her intentions, and thus, he stood up to open the door while a fragrant breeze rushed into his arms, filling his embrace.

"Yunhuo Xiao’s manor has a shielding field, and the privacy is very secure..." Cang Ya said in a low voice, her face flushed crimson.

How could Ji Xinghuo not understand her thoughts?

Bang.

The room door closed, and soon the sound of waves striking rhythmically echoed, the surf surged higher with each wave continually.

It wasn’t until late into the night that Cang Ya staggered back to her own room.

Ji Xinghuo was also refreshed and clear-headed.

The next day, the two strolled around the Zhu Xing Lake estate for half the day until finally receiving a notice from Zhi Ying to return to the drawing room to meet Yunhuo Xiao again.

"Elder Yunhuo."

Ji Xinghuo and Cang Ya bowed respectfully.

"Your Reversed Dragon Armor has been repaired," Yunhuo Xiao said, as the Reversed Dragon Armor floated over and Ji Xinghuo reached out to catch it, noticing that the sword scratch through the middle had been perfectly mended and looked as good as new.

He casually infused a strand of Star Power, and it operated smoothly without any hiccups; all its additional functions were unproblematic.

"Thank you, Master Xiao!"

"Your skill has indeed reached the pinnacle," Ji Xinghuo quickly thanked him and sincerely complimented him further; based on Yunhuo Xiao’s repair level, those fifty thousand Ether Crystals were well spent.

"It was just a minor effort," Yunhuo Xiao said dismissively, appearing unconcerned, yet his smile became even more amiable.

Once again sizing up Ji Xinghuo, he spoke, "Zhi Ying tells me that you are interested in the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade?"

"Yes, Master," Ji Xinghuo honestly replied, "but unfortunately the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade is too expensive for me to afford."

"Hehe..." Yunhuo Xiao stroked his chin, "Actually, you can afford it."

"What do you mean, Master?" Ji Xinghuo’s interest was piqued.

"The Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade is the strongest weapon I can forge. I would like to see it completed with my own eyes to verify my forging skills and design, but I haven’t found a suitable buyer yet, hence the delay," Yunhuo Xiao said slowly.

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Indeed, to buy the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade required not just the funds but a Mutant compatible with the blade’s characteristics, which was extremely rare.

Its sheer weight alone deterred the vast majority of Mutants.

"Since you have ideas about the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade, by my judgment, you would be very suitable to be the blade’s master," Yunhuo Xiao hinted, "I have a plan that could let you forge the world’s first Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade."

Ji Xinghuo’s spirits lifted, "Please, Master, go on."

"You give me the Azure Sky Ring in exchange for the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade," Yunhuo Xiao said, smiling.
