My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 94: The Supreme Twelve Weapons

Si Zheng saw Qin Feng coming out of the Treasure Pavilion, raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you find the treasure you wanted?”

Qin Feng shook his head, sighed helplessly.

Cang Feilan, upon hearing this, blinked her blue eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

“No worries. When you have the chance to go to the imperial capital in the future, perhaps you can find the craftsmen from the Divine Workshop to create a treasure for you. As long as you can provide them with precious materials and enough money, even high-grade treasures can be made for you,” reassured Si Zheng.

“Really?” Qin Feng widened his eyes. He had always thought that high-grade treasures were natural formations of the heavens and earth, not artificially made.

“Why would I deceive you? Do you still remember the Master Spear Immortal we encountered some days ago?” Si Zheng nodded. Qin Feng also remembered that imposing man who had not been seen in the Demon Slayer Department again these days. Could he have left?

“When the Spear Immortal, Sima Kong, had not yet reached the fifth realm of the Spear Intent, he took the meteoric iron from the outer realms and the corpses of demonic beasts with power surpassing the Sixth Calamity Cycle, and went to an old man in the Divine Workshop to craft a spear.”

“That old man was extraordinary, with hands that seemed to have a magical touch, capable of turning decay into magic. He used the materials brought by the Spear Immortal to forge for more than a month. When the spear was completed, a red light pierced through the sky, and thunder surged. That day marked the birth of the last weapon among the Divine Workshop’s Supreme Twelve Weapons—the day when the Heavenly Cloud Piercer came into the world,” admired Si Zheng.

“The Supreme Twelve Weapons?” Qin Feng looked curious.

“The Divine Workshop has forged countless treasures, among them, the twelve weapons stand out—the Supreme Twelve Weapons. They are all high-grade treasures, possessing spirituality and astonishing power. When they come into the world, they exhibit extraordinary phenomena.”

“Among them is a whip, which, it is said, attracted heavenly thunder upon its birth, taking a full two incense sticks’ time for the thunderclouds to dissipate. I’ve also heard of a war hammer that, upon its birth, emitted a deafening drumming sound, echoing through the heavens. It only calmed down after nine resounding beats,” explained Si Zheng.

Qin Feng imagined the scene and found it extraordinary. “It would be great if I could have such a divine weapon.”

Upon hearing this, Si Zheng patted his shoulder. “Kid, you’re not fully awake yet. How could such divine weapons recognize you as their master?”

“Uh…”

Seemingly making sense, Qin Feng’s face twitched. “Since the craftsmanship of the Divine Workshop is so amazing, why doesn’t Lord Si go and create a treasure for himself?”

“I would have already made it if I had that kind of wealth, do I still need your reminder?” Si Zheng sneered.

Oh, turns out it’s a lack of money.

Although Si Zheng is the chief of the Demon Slayer Department in a city, unlike chiefs in different places, the salary is completely different.

Of course, the main thing is that this guy spends most of his money on brothels and alcohol.

“Now that the matter in Qiyuan City is settled, when shall we start heading back?” Cang Feilan asked calmly.

“I can go anytime, it depends on this kid.” Si Zheng glanced at Qin Feng.

“Wait a moment, I’m still waiting for the deed from the governor’s office, and I happen to have left something in the tavern, so I’ll go back and get it.”

Qin Feng hurried back to the tavern, not because he actually left something behind, but because he was eager to verify the abilities of the Eight Trigrams Jade. Therefore, he wanted to find a secluded place.

As it was the hour of the Snake (around 9-11 AM), not the time to check out in the morning nor to have lunch, there weren’t many people in the tavern.

The waiter saw Qin Feng again and said in surprise, “Dr. Qin, what’s the matter?”

“I left something in the room, is it empty now?”

“It’s empty. We thought you might stay again, so we kept that room for you. Do you need me to take you up?”

“No need! I’ll go in by myself. You go about your business.”

Qin Feng hurried upstairs but failed to notice that at the corner of the stairs, near a table in the corner, three figures were sitting.

One was a delicate young man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in white with a black headband.

He carried a large wooden box with exquisite patterns carved on it, vaguely showing the shape of a sword.

The second was a middle-aged man with a lean face, fine beard, black and white scattered hair draped over his shoulders, and a wide gray robe. He wore a black shirt inside, and tightly wound black bandages wrapped around his solid body.

The last one was surprisingly dressed in green, with a black great banner draped over his shoulders—the Spear Immortal Sima Kong!

The three of them were drinking at the table, and strangely, the waiter in the tavern seemed to completely ignore them, showing no intention of coming to greet them.

Sima Kong, with closed eyes, respectfully said, “Why has the lord come here?”

The middle-aged man with a lean face raised his wine glass, took a sip, and replied slowly, “Just happened to have some matters to attend to. Heard there was trouble here, so I came to take a look.”

“How did it turn out?”

“The Dragon Protection Monument has been restored, but it allowed the enemy to escape. They are formidable, and their plans were well-prepared. If not for the divination of the Imperial Teacher, Qiyuan City would have surely fallen,” said Sima Kong with a deep voice.

“Hmm,” the slender middle-aged man responded without saying much.

At this moment, a white-clad, delicate young man sneered and said disdainfully, “All this talk, and it boils down to insufficient strength. If I were there, not a single one of them would have escaped.”

Ignoring the young man’s provocation, Sima Kong continued, “In recent years, with sinister activities on the rise, demons and ghosts have become more audacious. Chaos struck Qiyuan City, and two small towns faced invasion. After restoring the Dragon Protection Monument, I went to investigate, and unfortunately, not a single person survived.”

With a tinge of regret and self-blame in his tone, Sima Kong added, “In such a troubled world, we cannot be everywhere. For the greater good, sacrifices are inevitable.”

The slender middle-aged man took a sip of his wine and exhaled lightly, saying, “In this world, we cannot cover everything. For the sake of justice, sacrifices are unavoidable.”

The young man raised his eyebrows defiantly, “When I eradicate all the monsters and demons within the Great Qian, such incidents won’t happen again. Just watch.”

The slender middle-aged man clinked glasses with the Spear Immortal, paying no attention to the young man.

Getting impatient, the young man declared, “If you keep ignoring me, I’ll take offense!”

As the words left his mouth, both the slender middle-aged man and the young man looked up at the second floor. Sima Kong, with closed eyes, seemed to sense something and showed a slight change in expression.

In the room, Qin Feng infused his Literature Qi into the Eight Trigrams Jade but received no response after waiting for a while.

“What’s going on?”

Frowning, Qin Feng felt he had injected too little Literature Qi and desperately began to activate the Literature Qi within him. It was only when his Literature Qi was nearly depleted that the jade finally reacted.

The Eight Trigrams diagram on the jade emitted a faint golden light, and the yin-yang fish pattern rotated.

In a moment, a radius of about two inches circular array appeared under Qin Feng’s feet.

Upon closer inspection, the array pattern was exactly the same as the Eight Trigrams diagram on the jade!
