You have no idea what kind of being you've messed with.
“Originally, even if I didn't say anything, this news would quickly spread among the high-ranking officials of the City of Flame, especially to our House of Heavenly Craftsmanship, since Jiang Xuan is one of us. But since things have come to this today, I might as well just say it.”
Shen Jinchuan spoke, his gaze like a knife, staring at He Qingzhu, enunciating each word: “Are you really that foolish, not to have thought carefully about why Jiang Xuan, a Martial King, could land a slap on you, a Ten-Star Martial Emperor, before you could even react?”
He Qingzhu trembled violently, her expression finally showing unprecedented fear and regret.
If previously, when questioned by Shen Jinchuan, she was only intimidated by the oppressive power of Shen Jinchuan, a Three-Star Martial Saint, and his status as the head Artisan of the Xuanguang Star Domain, now she seemed to feel genuine fear: “Could it be…”
Shen Jinchuan said, word by word: “That’s right, Jiang Xuan is a Sequencer, and he possesses the third-ranked seed of sequence, Titan’s Ruins!”
Whoosh—!
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire Craftsman House erupted in an uproar!
Everyone was stunned.
Qin Zun’s hand, stroking his grizzled beard, froze in mid-air.
Shang Deyi’s goblet slipped from his grasp and shattered.
Pei Xiao’s eyes widened.
Ruan Zhentang looked as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
As for the dark-skinned, honest-looking young man, his jaw dropped so wide it almost dislocated!
The next moment, like a mountain roar and a sea surge, or a giant rock thrown into a lake, the entire Craftsman House completely erupted, reaching a fever pitch!
“Ti… Titan’s Ruins?”
“Oh my goodness!”
“A young Artisan with Grandmaster-level potential, who also possesses the seed of sequence, Titan’s Ruins? This, this…!”
“Prodigy, he’s simply a Prodigy!”
“Comparing people really makes one furious. I feel now that the gap between me and Jiang Xuan is even greater than the gap between a dog and Jiang Xuan!”
“Bro, it’s not that bad, but it’s pretty close.”
“No wonder, no wonder Lord Shen said that Jiang Xuan would one day replace him as the head Artisan of our Xuanguang Star Domain. So that’s it, so that’s it!”
“He Qingzhu actually made an enemy of such a Prodigy, who is unparalleled in both martial arts and craftsmanship. Her future days will likely not be easy, hahahaha!”
He Qingzhu had actually had some vague suspicions before, but always felt it was impossible.
After all, the seed of sequence itself is extremely rare. Moreover, it was Titan’s Ruins, one of the top six ranked seeds of sequence?
Therefore, she had previously been more inclined to guess that Jiang Xuan might have some artisan item that could greatly increase speed for a short period, which allowed him to successfully ambush her.
But she never expected that Jiang Xuan was indeed the owner of the titan guixu sequence seed!
Jiang Xuan, facing this situation, remained calm.
After all, as early as when he decided to display the Ultimate Skill of Titans Strength, he had anticipated that his identity as the owner of the titan guixu sequence seed would be exposed.
There was nothing to it, because it now seemed that the people of the City of Flame, especially those with higher status, understood more about the knowledge and information related to the seed of sequence, and there was no need to deliberately keep it a secret.
Moreover, he could use his identity as a Sequencer to effectively conceal his other, more crucial secrets.
Before, in Lei City, he had never even heard of the seed of sequence, nor had he heard anyone else talk about it, so he thought it was a top secret. Now it seemed it was simply because Lei City was a small human city with limited information.
“Hahahahaha, Disciple, you’ve really given your Masters a huge surprise!”
Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out, it was Yun Kuanghu.
Yun Kuanghu walked over, forcefully embracing the shoulder of his only Personal Disciple, seemingly overjoyed: “You have a seed of sequence like Titan’s Ruins, why didn’t you tell Second Master earlier? If we had known this, why would we bother pulling strings everywhere to get you into the Prodigy Training Camp? Just a hint of this news to the Prodigy Training Camp instructors, and they would probably rush to snatch you up!”
Di Wanxiang also walked over, hands clasped behind his back, smiling broadly and puffing on his pipe, as if only this could express how happy he was at that moment: “Good, Disciple, you are very good, haha, hahahaha!”
At this moment, He Qingzhu stood up, her withered hand still covering her face, seemingly feeling utterly disgraced, and was about to leave.
“Wait a moment.”
Suddenly, Shen Jinchuan spoke indifferently.
He Qingzhu trembled, turned around, and for the first time, there was a hint of defiance in her tone: “Lord Shen, no matter what, I… I am also a Grandmaster Craftsman. After being slapped by him like this, surely you don't expect me to apologize to him?”
Shen Jinchuan shook his head: “That’s up to you, I won’t force it. However, from the current situation, in our House of Heavenly Craftsmanship in the Xuanguang Star Domain, only you and that Shentu Du, Grandmaster Craftsman, pose a threat to Jiang Xuan. I’ve already sent Shentu Du, Grandmaster Craftsman, to another Star Domain, not to return for a year or two. You should do the same, because in another year or two…”
He paused, a playful smile appearing on his face: “…you won’t be able to defeat Jiang Xuan anymore.”
He Qingzhu’s face turned completely purple, but she dared not retort another word, nodding heavily: “Alright, Lord Shen, I understand.”
With that, she turned and walked towards the Craftsman House’s main door without looking back.
After a brief silence, everyone watched as her figure completely disappeared outside the Craftsman House’s main door, and Shen Jinchuan’s voice rang out at this moment.
“Alright, everyone, continue to celebrate! This is our Artisans’ annual festival, after the celebration, go and face life head-on. Although as Artisans, you don’t really need to face life head-on.”
The Artisans were first stunned, then, they cheered again!
Fine wine, delicious food, party games… the entire Craftsman House once again plunged into an incomparably joyful atmosphere… After an all-nighter.
At seven in the morning, Jiang Xuan walked out of the House of Heavenly Craftsmanship’s main gate, looking refreshed.
It must be said that this Artisan Assembly was indeed a grand festival for the Artisans.
Fortunately, he was both a cultivator and possessed Qi and blood comparable to a Three-Star Martial Emperor. Even after an all-nighter, he wasn't tired at all; instead, he felt increasingly energetic.
And this trip to the House of Heavenly Craftsmanship was also very fruitful.
Because not only did he receive the thunder roar boots, a quasi-Divine Artifact, from Lord Shen, and dealt with two major enemies, Shentu Du, Grandmaster Craftsman and He Qingzhu, but his Two Masters also each gave him a grandmaster-level artisan artifact!
Moreover, they weren't just ordinary Grandmaster-level artisan artifacts; they were all Peerless Grade!
Peerless Grade grandmaster-level artisan artifacts are something even Grandmaster Craftsmen themselves rarely possess one or two of, yet Eldest Master and Second Master each gave him one!
Thinking this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sweep his Divine Thought, looking at the two Peerless Grade grandmaster-level artisan artifacts in his space ring.
He saw that they were respectively…
