Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 370: If He Can’t Do It, What About Me?
"Why don’t you use your true form? The way you change is so ugly, not as good-looking as you originally are."
"Where have you been all this time? Why did it take you so long to find me? Did you really forget about me?"
"Alright, forget it if you did, but I won’t forget you. I’ve been obediently staying here like you told me to, so don’t I deserve some kind of reward?"
Chen Lan sat in the Blacksmith Shop, eyes closed, resting his mind. The girl was pacing back and forth beside him, chattering non-stop, but Chen Lan wasn’t annoyed. He wanted to gather as much useful information as he could.
The girl spoke a lot, and from her words, he gleaned a lot of important information. The girl had lived for at least a hundred years, clearly left behind in her first life. As for why others couldn’t see her, it seemed related to the cloak she wore, which could obscure all heavenly secrets, also given to her in her first life.
Moreover, the girl’s physique was the Immortal Body!
But it was pitiful, as it was an Immortal Body cursed by the Heavenly Dao, unable to cultivate and forever an ordinary person, with no strength but undying and immortal.
Suddenly, Chen Lan abruptly opened his eyes and looked outside.
At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Countless people in Soldier Emperor City hurriedly locked their doors and windows, and no one came out. Only the Blacksmith Shop where Chen Lan was remained open.
The sound of the blacksmith swinging the Heavy Hammer down was accompanied by the roaring thunder, mixing into an exceptionally deafening rumble, shaking body and soul.
"Someone’s coming." Chen Lan said calmly, feeling an extremely terrifying aura approaching here.
"No matter, no one can cause trouble here. You’re my guest, so naturally, I’ll protect you." The blacksmith smiled faintly, not stopping his work, still forging the Divine Artifact.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan raised an eyebrow. He could sense that the one coming was a Taoist Saint, but as for how many Dao patterns were on them, he didn’t know. In any case, it was very terrifying, several times more terrifying than the Spiritual Clarity Taoist Saint, and full of murderous intent. The visitor was not friendly!
Yet, the blacksmith was not afraid in the slightest. It seemed Soldier Emperor City was indeed a place concealing many great talents.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!!!!
At this moment, the orderly and deafening sound of horse hooves came, echoing like a great bell, enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
In an instant, heavily armored cavalry surrounded the Blacksmith Shop on both sides. The warhorses wore silver armor, all of which were top-grade Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures, while the people on horseback were equally fully armored in golden armor, also top-grade Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures, a thousand cavalrymen in total.
They surrounded the Blacksmith Shop completely, making it so even a fly couldn’t get out.
Seeing this, Chen Lan furrowed his brows tightly. What were these people here for? Could they be targeting him?
But he hadn’t offended anyone from Soldier Emperor City.
Soon, a Demon Beast with red fur, its body as large as a small mountain, with fire-patterned imprints between its brows, somewhat resembling a lion, slowly emerged from the cavalry ranks, with a man in a black robe on its back, looking at Chen Lan with a grim expression.
Chen Lan sensed strong murderous intent from the man. This man harbored great animosity towards him, but why?
He could be sure he hadn’t met this man before, yet this man wanted to kill him. How ridiculous!
"City Lord, you’ve come with such a great display, for what purpose?" At this moment, the blacksmith stopped his actions and looked at the man, smiling.
Only then did Chen Lan find out that this man was the City Lord of Soldier Emperor City, but why did the City Lord want to kill him?
Instantly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly thought of something, looking at the ancient sword sheath in his hand. As soon as he drew the sword, this person had come over, so it seemed it was the sword they were after.
"Hand over the Divine Sword," the City Lord said coldly, getting straight to the point.
Hearing this, Chen Lan laughed. They indeed came for this Divine Sword, Supreme Treasures truly invite trouble. Often, such rare treasures are the easiest way to offend people.
"City Lord, you must have forgotten the Empress’s rule. Whoever draws the Divine Sword becomes the owner of the Divine Sword. This Divine Sword isn’t yours alone!" The blacksmith put away his smile and spoke coldly, his tone laced with anger.
"Ha, it belongs to my Soldier Emperor City, so naturally it’s mine, Guo Gangfeng’s thing," the City Lord chuckled coldly.
He was the City Lord of Soldier Emperor City, the master here. If he couldn’t even manage his own things, what else could he manage?!
This little blacksmith dared to speak such arrogant words, disregarding him as the City Lord, how audacious! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Guo Gangfeng, I’m calling you City Lord out of respect, don’t push your luck!" the blacksmith shouted angrily, his aura exploding, not any weaker than Guo Gangfeng’s.
The Heavy Hammer in his hand emitted an extremely terrifying aura and blinding light, actually a top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasure!
"This terrifying aura, such a familiar feeling, are you the First General, Li Chunqiu?!" Guo Gangfeng felt the familiar aura, he had witnessed it when he was young.
That day, he was still a child, yet he witnessed that battle.
One person held the Heavy Hammer, battling three Taoist Saints in the sky, not falling behind, even driving the three Taoist Saints to flee in defeat, eventually becoming the First General of Soldier Emperor City.
However, not long after, news came of that man’s death, rumored to have suffered internal injuries in that battle, finding a secluded place to pass away, leaving behind a final letter, disappearing without a trace. Tens of thousands of years passed with no news of him; everyone was sure he was dead.
Unexpectedly, he saw him again today. He hadn’t forgotten that aura from back then; after all, he had once longed to become such a person.
"Didn’t expect that after all these years, someone still remembers me." Li Chunqiu’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia as he smiled.
"You obviously defeated three Taoist Saints back then, so why did you fake your death, disappear, and become a blacksmith now? What’s the benefit?" Guo Gangfeng couldn’t understand and asked in confusion.
Back then, if Li Chunqiu hadn’t faked his death, he would undoubtedly have been the next City Lord, and there would probably have been no place for Guo Gangfeng.
Why abandon such a great future to hide and return as a blacksmith?
"Because of a promise."
After speaking, Li Chunqiu turned and looked at Chen Lan, his gaze meaningful, as if there were many things yet to be told to Chen Lan.
But Chen Lan noticed that as Li Chunqiu looked at him, his gaze also flicked to the girl beside him!
As expected, Li Chunqiu could see the girl, but why wouldn’t he admit it, instead pretending to be ignorant?
What other secrets were hidden by this Divine Sword, the girl, and Soldier Emperor City?
"What good is your return? My strength far surpasses yours, you alone can’t stop me," Guo Gangfeng spoke coldly.
He was determined to have the Divine Sword, even Li Chunqiu, the First General, couldn’t stop him.
"He alone may not be able to, but what about with me?"
Chen Lan spoke calmly, drawing the Ancient Sword Blade, and unleashed his aura, facing off against Guo Gangfeng!
