Chapter 726 Emeris.

?Xiao Jun rushed through the corridors at full speed. He was an Immortal Soldier, and his speed was quick enough to round up the place in a few hours. He reached the pavilion master's courtyard and was stopped by two Immortal Lords at the entrance.

Xiao Jun knew these two people and said, "Senior Dong, the Young Master has called for the Pavilion master at the forge room. He said it was urgent."

Senior Dong was a guard beside Yang Tie and had been instructed to be informed promptly if Shi Lang was to send for the latter. Guard Dong nodded and then rushed inside the house.

Yang Tie was cultivating at this moment, but his senses were alert. He sensed someone approaching the door of his room, and he opened his eyes. He asked, "Xiao Dong, what is it?"

Do not look at his young age. Yang Tie was very old in real. The guard outside was used to this reaction from the old man and said, "Pavilion Master, an attendant is outside with a message from Young Master."

Yang Tie stood up and walked out of the place. He asked, "Who is the attendant?"

Guard Dong replied, "Sir, the young man is an attendant at the library for the night shift."

Yang Tie nodded, and then he came to the front of the house. Xiao Jun was getting anxious, but when Yang Tie appeared, he said, "Pavilion Master, Young Master asked me to guide him to a forging room, and now he is waiting for you there."

Yang Tie nodded and said, "You did good, thank you."

Xiao Jun bowed, but Yang Tie vanished the next moment. The young attendant shivered and shook his head to regain his composure. Guard Dong said, "Do not worry, kid. We can never understand what game the elders are playing. Just keep doing your tasks, and you will receive rewards."

Xiao Jun bowed to Guard Dong and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Dong. I should get going now."

Guard Dong nodded, and Xiao Jun rushed away.

...

In the forging room, Shi Lang faced a big furnace, dropping a few pieces of metal inside it every few minutes. He left the door open after entering because he expected Yang Tie to arrive at any moment.

His expectations were not let down. Yang Tie did come over quickly, and the terran said, "Brother Yang, what can you tell me about Emeris?"

The pavilion master was taken aback, but then he said, "Young Master, Emeris is a rare natural treasure. It is a metal capable of balancing and uniting any material. It is an omnipotent stabilizer, and even Saint-level forgers cannot get enough of it."

Shi Lang nodded while he grabbed a red-hot piece of metal with a pair of long tongs. He asked, "Can you tell me the value of one gram Emeris?"

Yang Tie shook his head and replied, "I have never seen this metal, and from what I have heard, every time this metal appears in the immortal plain, it is acquired by climbing a mountain of corpses."

Shi Lang nodded and picked up a hammer to beat the metal, "What would you say if I told you I have a mine of Emeris at my home?"

Yang Tie was shocked. Then he chuckled, "Hahaha, Young Master, you sure are funny."

He thought Shi Lang was joking, but the Terran said something that. shocked Yang Tie pale, "Pavilion Master Yang, you probably do not know, but the Zhu Family found an old ruin a few decades ago, and after careful probing, they discovered a chest filled with Emeris. The total weight of this metal is unknown, but you can understand that even if the metal is just a chunk. They have the power to drive many forces to their banner."

Yang Tie shivered and said, "You mean to say Zhu Family has possession of Emeris?"

Shi Lang nodded as he hammered away at the metal. He acted as if he was calm and dealing with something mundane. Yang Tie did not know what to say. He asked, "Young Master, what can we do?"

Shi Lang said, "We steal it."

His calm voice was like an explosion that destroyed Yang Tie's resolve. He thought about what Shi Lang was saying and fell to the ground. Shi Lang stopped hammering and placed them in the quenching vat. He was surprised at Yang Tie's reaction and said, "Come on, have a stomach. This is just the beginning. You will find how entertaining things can be with me around."

Yang Tie took a deep breath and said, "Young Master, please do not say anything. More. I cannot take it."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "You do not have to worry much now. Come with me. Let us go and find the city lord. I need his help."

Yang Tie lunged and grabbed Shi Lang's legs, "Young Master, I beg you, please spare me."

Shi Lang sighed at the sight and said, "Listen here, Pavilion Master Yang. Wars are not always fought from the light; enemies do not need to be confronted head-on if you cannot stomach this situation. I will ask Old Man Tian Long for another Pavilion Master."

Yang Tie shivered. He could not understand why Shi Lang was suddenly so cruel. His life's work and effort were about to be gained and nullified. He asked worriedly, "Young Master, I will help you with everything I have, but please do not do this to me?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Brother Yang, I have no interest in discrediting you. However, please support me in this venture."

Yang Tie smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Young Master."

Shi Lang nodded, and then they walked out of the pavilion. Yang Tie, who was against this entire operation, could not help but ask, "Young Master, why are we seeking the City Lord?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I need his saint-level forging skills."

Yang Tie was surprised and said, "What makes you so sure he will help you?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You do not understand the way of the world. If I promise him some Emeris, will he not agree to us?"

Yang Tie was shocked. He could not understand how Shi Lang was so sure. However, the offer was attractive. Anyone would sell their soul for this metal, let alone a Saint-level forger.

They did not leave the pavilion entrance but rushed out in a void tunnel. Yang Tie led them directly to the City Palace. They were both experts and hid their spiritual aura completely. Suddenly, a figure appeared behind them and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"

Shi Lang clasped his fist and bowed his head, "Pardon the intrusion, Senior Pie. However, I need an urgent favor from you."

Old Man Pei asked coldly, "What is it?"

Shi Lang asked calmly, "Sir, can you please inscribe these armor with masking arrays?"

Old Man Pei glanced at Yang Tie beside the young man and asked, "What arrays could you need that even a legend-level forger cannot inscribe?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Something that can fool the senses of an immortal sovereign."

Old Man Pei was stunned, while Yang Tie was shivering from fear. Shi Lang was too direct for the two of them. Shi Lang smiled and asked, "Can you do it?"

Old Man Pei regained his composure and asked, "What do you intend to do with these arrays?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Sir, I intend to rob the Zhu Family of their most valuable chip in this game."

City Lord Pie had been investigating the situation, and given his contacts, one day was enough for him to know that something was off with the Zhu Family. It was not a small matter now that Shi Lang had stepped forward to rob something from them.

Old Man Pei asked, "What do you want to steal? Why should I help you?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I will give you one kilogram of what I will steal."

Old Man Pei sneered and asked, "What could it be that can make you buy my labor, and that too for just a kilogram?"

The terran smiled and said, "Would you still say the same if the payment was made with a kilogram of Emeris?"

Old Man Pie thought Shi Lang was joking and laughed. His laughter was so loud that the people would have woken up from fright. He asked, "Kid, are you joking with me at this hour? Do you think you can get away after messing up with me just because I have a smiling face?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said sincerely, "Elder Pie, I have no such thought, and I love my life more than you can imagine. I have news that the Zhu Family possesses a couple of Kilograms of Emeris, which they have used to lure the Titan sect of the northern region into this alliance."

Old Man Pie could not find Shi Lang lying and asked, "Are you serious?"

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "What will I gain by lying to you?"
