Chapter 0321 – Fistful of Fists – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

Sect Leader Windy Sky and I, went to a secluded forest on the outskirts of the city and waited for the contact sent by Silver Moon.

We’re all masters of our craft. If we’re careful, we won’t be followed.

Unless, of course, it was the King of Illusions himself. The person who can track us without us realizing it must at least possess, the same strength as the one who protected my father? Uncle, the same strength. But such a person is rare in this world.

"If Elder Star, is really as loyal as you say, Sect Leader, then he, must have been forced to resign his position as Elder."

I said.

"Are you saying that Zhaobo fought, forced him, and made him leave the Windy Sky Sect?"

Sect Leader Windy Sky, asked.

"It’s quite possible. Perhaps, Elder Star, who is firmly against, Zhaobo fights and starts a war."

I said.

And, Elder Star, now, is still unaccounted for.

"Do you think, Zhaoboda, will kill Elder Star?"

Sect Leader Windy Sky, asked.

I answered truthfully:

"Don’t rule it out."

Sect Leader Windsky’s eyes suddenly turned ice-cold.

"If, he really killed Elder Star, I, definitely, won’t let him go."

I didn’t say anything, this was a matter between Sect Leader Feng Tian and his disciple, I had no right to interfere.

Just then, a man, came to us.

He called himself Huang, the head of Silver Moon in the Western Region.

From his pace, it was clear that his martial arts and lightweight skills were extraordinary.

He looked, however, ordinary. This was a characteristic of the Silver Moon disciples, they, all of them, were very good at hiding themselves, and even if they mixed in the crowd, they wouldn’t be noticed.

"I have already found out, the information you asked for. What Elder Star, asked us to investigate, is a blacksmith store."

Yellow said.

"Which blacksmith store?"

Sect Leader Windy Sky, asked.

"Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop."

Yellow replied.

Sect Leader Windsky, froze for a moment.

"Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop? How come I’ve never heard of it?"

Even Sect Leader Windy Sky, didn’t know about the Xin Xiong Blacksmith Shop.

"This blacksmith store, has not been established for a long time and is not large in scale, so it’s normal that you don’t know about it."

Yellow explained.

Sect Leader Feng Tian, nodded. He thought that I didn’t know about the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop either, but in reality, I do.

Before the rebirth, Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop, had another name.

The first blacksmith store in the Central Plains.

At the time when the Old Man of the Transforming Devil and the Twelve Zodiac Kings, ruled the martial arts world, the Xin Xiong Blacksmith Shop, was the most famous blacksmith store in the Central Plains, in the world. They, all over the Central Plains, had hundreds of branches, providing weapons for all the major sects, earning a huge fortune.

"So, the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop, from here, started!"

I thought to myself.

I originally thought that the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop, and the Old Man Who Transforms Demons and the Twelve Zodiac Kings, had nothing to do with each other.

However, it now seemed that they, too, were the people of the Elder Demonizer and the Twelve Zodiac Kings.

"I really didn’t expect Elder Star, to investigate a blacksmith store. I originally thought that he would investigate the Huayang Sect or the Black Sand Gang."

Sect Leader Windy Sky, said.

In the Western Region, the Wind and Sky Sect was equivalent to the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Central Plains, the Huayang Sect was equivalent to the Martial Arts League, and the Black Sand Gang was equivalent to the Evil Sect League. Therefore, if Zhaoboda wanted to unify the Western Region, he had to conquer the Huayang Sect and the Black Sand Gang first.

Sect Master Feng Tian, originally thought that Elder Star, would investigate the Huayang Sect or the Black Sand Gang, but he didn’t expect that he would investigate an unheard of blacksmith store, that’s why he was surprised.

"Do you know why he’s investigating the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop?"

Sect Leader Windy Sky, asked.

"I don’t know."

Yellow shook his head.

"This is what Elder Star, asked me to give to you."

Huang said, handing a piece of information, to Sect Leader Windsky.

"Thanks."

Sect Leader Windy Sky, said.

Yellow turned away.

Sect Leader Windsky and I, standing in place, looked over the information about the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop. The information was very detailed, including the owner of the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop, as well as the information of other important people, as well as the types and quantities of weapons that they produced, as well as the sales situation, and even, there was also a diagram of the building layout of the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop.

"Zhaobo fight, wanting to start a war, must have something to do with Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop, with a relationship. Elder Star, must have discovered something, that’s why he asked Silver Moon, to investigate the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop."

Sect Leader Windy Sky, said.

"That’s what I thought as well. Elder Star, must have left in a hurry after reading this information. He must have discovered some important clue."

I said.

Sect Leader Windy Sky, looking at the information, the densely packed numbers, shook his head and said:

"I hate looking at numbers."

The information, for the most part, is about numbers, such as how many weapons were produced, how much money was made, and how much was spent.

It was at this point that I suddenly realized something.

"You see, this is the amount of iron ore they bought last year, which was ten times more than the year before, than the year before."

I said.

"Exactly."

Sect Leader Windy Sky, said.

"This is the number of weapons they sold last year."

I said.

"The iron ore they purchased far exceeds the number of weapons they sold. This gap, it’s too big, isn’t it?"

Sect Leader Windy Sky, said.

"But they have, this year, bought more iron ore. Their stockpile, I think, is already large."

I said.

"Very suspicious indeed."

We looked at each other, and then, immediately, we moved off to the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop.

To avoid spooking the snakes, we bought two bucket hats to cover our faces. We decided, as guests, to enter the Xinxiong Blacksmith Shop.

"This blacksmith store, is much bigger, than I thought."

Sect Leader Windy Sky, said.

"The information said that they had, last year, bought the land near the blacksmith store and expanded it."

I said.

In the blacksmith’s store, there were people coming and going, cars traveling, and everywhere there was the sound of clanking iron and the sound of whirring bellows.

At first glance, this place, there was nothing out of the ordinary, just an ordinary blacksmith store.

A fellow, greeted him.

"What do you need, gentlemen?"

"We want to buy swords."

I said.

"We have, here, many kinds of swords, what kind of sword would you like?"

Dude asked.

"A top quality sword."

I said.

"Please follow me."

Dude said.

We followed the fellow and came to a room. As I walked, I observed the surroundings. The biggest advantage of entering a blacksmith store as a guest is that you can observe the surroundings openly.

In the room, there were all kinds of swords.

"Please feel free to look."

Dude said.

We looked closely at the swords, and then, I said to the mate:

"Is there a better sword than these, than these?"

"There are excellent swords, but, they are expensive."

Dude said.

"Take it out."

I said.

"One moment, please."

Dude said.

After a while, a strapping young man, walked in.

"My name is Hukyo."

The young man said.

Hugin.

He, the one mentioned in the information provided by Silver Moon. The owner of Xin Xiong’s blacksmith store, rarely shows his face, so the daily affairs of the blacksmith store are handled by Hu Jing. The reason we entered the blacksmith store as guests was to meet him.

"You want to see the Extreme Sword?"

Hugin asked.

He opened a chest, and from it, took out a sword and handed it to me.

I drew my sword and looked at it carefully. Although this sword, is not considered a precious sword, it is still a rare and sharp weapon.

"I’ll take twelve of these swords."

I said.

"Twelve?"

Hu Jing, looked at me in surprise. Even Sect Leader Windy Sky, looked at me in surprise.

"You really want to buy it?"

Sect Leader Windsky, transmitting his voice, asked.

"Of course we have to buy it, we’ve come a long way to get here, we have to buy some gifts for the guards, right?"

I replied in a voice-over.

"You buy it with your own money!"

Sect Leader Windy Sky, transmitting his voice, said.

"Sure."

I replied in a voice-over.

Seeing that I was so generous, Hu Jing, cautiously asked:

"Excuse me, who are you?"

With my hand, I gently fiddled with the veil on my bucket hat, indicating, I didn’t want to reveal my identity.

"I apologize for my rudeness, it’s your first time in our blacksmith store and I was a bit abrupt."

Hu Jing, said in a hurry.

He often dealt with people in the jianghu, so he knew how to read people’s words.
