Urban Martial Saint

Master Craft gave a faint smile and said, ”What I want to say is that the strength gap between the Emperor and Chi You was certainly large. And despite such a significant difference, the Emperor managed to defeat Chi You after acquiring the Xuanyuan Sword.”

At this point, Master Craft took a deep breath and said, ”This shows that the Xuanyuan Sword must have the ability to enhance a person’s strength!”

Prince Wan Yan’s eyes immediately flashed with brilliance. This matter stirred a ripple in his heart, greatly increasing his expectations for the Xuanyuan Sword.

”Enhancing a person’s strength!” Wan Yan Ming also widened his eyes; of course, he knew what such a concept meant.

His father, Prince Wan Yan, although very powerful, has been stuck in this realm for a long time, unable to reach the level of the Five Uniques. If he cannot reach that realm, he will never have any say in front of such power as the Five Uniques, which is his greatest weakness. Now, with a way to boost his strength, could he not be excited?

”Not only the Xuanyuan Sword, but the Minghong Knife should also have this ability!” Master Craft said, ”Don’t forget, the Minghong Knife and the Xuanyuan Sword are made of the same material.”

”Your analysis is very good!” Prince Wan Yan nodded and said, ”The second question is, where are the Xuanyuan Sword and the Minghong Knife now?”

”This question, I can’t answer for you.” Master Craft shrugged and said, ”The Xuanyuan Sword and the Minghong Knife have been missing for so many years, they are truly missing. It’s not just me; of all the people in this world, who can have news of these two Famed Instruments? Perhaps, my lord, you might know more than I do.”

Prince Wan Yan glanced at Master Craft, seeing no sign of deceit, he softly said, ”The third question, what do you think of Dragon Blood Wood and the Gold Silk Armor?”

”My lord, frankly, the Dragon Blood Wooden Box has carvings of text inside. However, I don’t recognize these texts. I’ve heard people say before that such texts should be Taoist and Buddhist, not something an ordinary person can understand.” Master Craft said, ”Unable to understand those texts, I can only analyze superficially. Firstly, Dragon Blood Wood is priceless, without a doubt. If your ancestor used Dragon Blood Wood to create a lock to secure a Gold Silk Armor, it suggests that the Gold Silk Armor’s value surpasses Dragon Blood Wood. The material for that Gold Silk Armor is also rare, it’s an extremely rare magnetic substance, whose magnetic force can counteract Earth’s gravity, making the armor feel weightless when held. Actually, I believe the utility of the Gold Silk Armor extends beyond this. I examined its toughness; it could completely be described as impervious to blades and arrows, as Famed Instruments couldn’t even leave a trace. And, I’ve tested, this Gold Silk Armor can also dissipate force. Meaning, when worn, it’s equivalent to wearing a bulletproof vest. Not only bullets but even Famed Instruments can’t penetrate it. Even with power such as the Five Unmatches of the World, a direct hit wouldn’t harm the person inside.”

”Really?” Wan Yan Ming immediately widened his eyes; he didn’t know the Gold Silk Armor had such effects. Thus, by wearing the Gold Silk Armor, one could already be invincible!

”That’s the first point.” Master Craft said, ”Moreover, having tested it with a magnet, I found the Gold Silk Armor’s magnetism is somewhat special; it has no relation to ordinary magnetism and won’t be interfered with by ordinary magnets. This means the Gold Silk Armor’s magnetism won’t conflict with other magnetic substances on Earth. Everyone knows if only one object possesses magnetism, that object is useless. Like a magnet: it has magnetism, but without another magnet to attract it, its magnetism is just superficial. The Gold Silk Armor is similar; it doesn’t interact with Earth’s other magnetic substances. However, holding it, you feel no weight. This shows it must be opposing some other similarly magnetic substance, which is why it counteracts Earth’s gravity.”

Listening to Master Craft speak so much, Wan Yan Ming was confused, unable to resist saying, ”Stop with the useless details. We’re not here for a lecture; just directly give results without rambling.”

”Alright.” Master Craft nodded and said, ”The result is that there must be another substance on Earth with the same magnetism as the Gold Silk Armor. And, if I’m not mistaken, only with the Gold Silk Armor can one find a thing with the same magnetism. Thus, I can confidently say, the Gold Silk Armor is essentially a guiding tool, functioning just like a map!”

Upon hearing this, the faces of Prince Wan Yan and Wan Yan Ming changed. They didn’t know about this, but Master Craft had analyzed it so effortlessly.

Being descendants of the Wanyan Family, Prince Wan Yan and Wan Yan Ming naturally understood the meaning of those Taoist and Buddhist inscriptions inside the Dragon Blood Wooden Box, as those were carved by their ancestors. They knew the ancestral instructions: use the Gold Silk Armor to find Guiguzi’s tomb and uncover the enormous secret left by Guiguzi. However, no one knew how to use the Gold Silk Armor to locate Guiguzi’s tomb.

Now hearing Master Craft, they suddenly understood how to use the Gold Silk Armor to find Guiguzi’s tomb. It turns out, it’s about using the Armor’s unique magnetism to attract and discover Guiguzi’s tomb!

Seeing Prince Wan Yan and Wan Yan Ming no longer speaking, Master Craft fell silent briefly and then said quietly, ”My lord, I wonder if my answer satisfies you?”

Master Craft was subtly hinting that Prince Wan Yan should keep his promise and let them go, feeling deeply uneasy standing before Prince Wan Yan.

”Satisfied! Very satisfied!” Prince Wan Yan slowly nodded, and suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Master Craft by the neck and lifting him.

”You…” Master Craft opened his mouth to shout, but Prince Wan Yan directly threw a Pill into his mouth. Unable to shout, Master Craft swallowed the Pill.

Seeing Master Craft swallow the Pill, Prince Wan Yan then released him. Master Craft stepped back a few paces, covering his neck with his hand while coughing, tremulously asking, ”What…what are you doing?”

”Nothing, just letting you try my new medicine.” Prince Wan Yan looked at Master Craft, calmly saying, ”The One-Day Death Pill!”

”What!?” Master Craft’s eyes widened, and he immediately reached into his throat, retching continuously, but couldn’t vomit even a trace of the Pill.

”Don’t waste your strength.” Prince Wan Yan said, ”This medicine dissolves upon contact with water and has already seeped into your body; even if you vomit your stomach out, it’s useless.”

”Why…why did you do this?” Master Craft’s face turned ashen, glaring at Prince Wan Yan angrily, ”I answered your questions, and you said you would spare me…”

”You must have listened incorrectly.” Prince Wan Yan said, ”I said earlier, answer a few questions, and today I’ll let you go. I meant today, not tomorrow.”

Master Craft froze for a moment, not expecting Prince Wan Yan to play such word games with him. He opened his mouth, finally stammering, ”But…you shouldn’t have made me eat this Poison today either; you said you’d let me go today!”

”Yes, I did release you today!” Prince Wan Yan said, ”Didn’t you hear me? It’s the One-Day Death Pill; although you’ve been poisoned, you won’t die within a day, only tomorrow. I didn’t kill you today, doesn’t that count as sparing you?”

Master Craft’s eyes widened, glaring at Prince Wan Yan for a moment before angrily saying, ”You’re despicable!”

Prince Wan Yan chuckled coldly and motioned with his hand; Wan Yan Ming immediately moved forward to feed the Poison to Master Craft’s son.

Seeing this, Master Craft was utterly hopeless; he slowly walked to the chair behind him, sat down, and laughed heartily, ”I’m so foolish, I should have realized. Since you asked me all these questions, you surely wouldn’t let me go. Only by killing me can these things not spread. Killing me ensures these secrets remain with you alone. From the moment you began questioning me, I was already dead. Yet foolishly, I told you everything I knew. I was too careless, too trusting!”

Prince Wan Yan calmly regarded Master Craft and said, ”Anyone who touches the Gold Silk Armor must die. Allowing you to live another day is already my repayment; you should feel grateful!”

”So, I should thank Prince Wan Yan then?” Master Craft scoffed, glaring at Prince Wan Yan, ”Prince Wan Yan, even if you can kill me, what then? With your strength, you can’t hold onto the Gold Silk Armor. This world still won’t belong to you. The Wanyan Family’s thousand-year mission will be destroyed in your hands; you can’t change anything!”

Prince Wan Yan didn’t even glance at Master Craft, casually signaling, and Wan Yan Ming immediately stepped forward with others to break all of Master Craft’s limbs and cut out his tongue. Master Craft’s son met the same fate, following in his footsteps. Both became unable to speak or write, looking very miserable.

Prince Wan Yan had already fed Master Craft poison, yet he still crippled them both to prevent them from spreading these secrets. Secrets regarding the Xuanyuan Sword and the Gold Silk Armor, he only wanted his side to know, not anyone else.

Having handled these two individuals, Prince Wan Yan led his followers out of Master Craft’s manor. Master Craft’s manor was far from the city and covered a large area, seldom visited. Inside, Master Craft’s subordinates have been dealt with, leaving Master Craft and his son to await death, ensuring the secret remains sealed.
