“Lord, you want to leave Boundary Bridge Village?”

After Peng Jiuyuan heard Zhou Shu’s words, he thought, It finally happened.

“Lord, didn’t you say you wanted to rest here for a while? Have you recovered from your injuries?” Peng Jiuyuan asked.

Zhou Shu shook his head.

Previously, he had indeed wanted to rest here for a period of time. When he recovered his strength, he would leave the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom and return to the ancestral land.

But now, he had to find the Celestial Thearch Sword and use the forging materials inside to reconstruct the Legendary Armament Canon. Otherwise, his injuries wouldn’t heal, and his cultivation and strength wouldn’t recover.

He had no choice but to leave Boundary Bridge Village and find the Celestial Thearch Sword.

“Things have changed, so I have to leave Boundary Bridge Village,” Zhou Shu said. “Peng Jiuyuan, I hope you can come with me. I need you to help me do something. After this, your Peng family’s mission will be completed. In the future, you can stay here and live your life peacefully.”

Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan. He didn’t want to disturb Peng Jiuyuan’s life, but he had no choice. He had no one available now, and he didn’t have much ability to protect himself. If he wanted to find the Celestial Thearch Sword, it might not be a smooth journey. He needed someone to help him.

“I’ll go,” Peng Jiuyuan said calmly. As for what Zhou Shu said about completing the Peng’s family mission, Peng Jiuyuan didn’t take it to heart.

The Peng family’s ancestral teachings were for him to listen to Zhou Shu until he died…

“When do we leave?” Peng Jiuyuan asked.

Ever since the day Zhou Shu appeared, Peng Jiuyuan had been preparing.

“Now,” Zhou Shu said seriously.

Since he was going to do something, the sooner the better. The sooner he found the Celestial Thearch Sword, the sooner he could start reforging the Legendary Armament Canon.

“Lord, can you give me a few more days?” Peng Jiuyuan asked. “I don’t know when I’ll be able to return. Little Yue hasn’t completed his apprenticeship yet. I want to leave some weaoons for the village before leaving.

Peng Jiuyuan was the blacksmith of Boundary Bridge Village. The weapons used for hunting and farming in Boundary Bridge Village were all forged by him.

Once he left, no one would be able to forge them in Boundary Bridge Village.

Although Cao Yue had learned how to forge, he was still too young to support the village’s usage.

“I can help you,” Zhou Shu said calmly. “After we finish it as soon as possible, we’ll leave as soon as possible.”

Forging was Zhou Shu’s old trade. To Zhou Shu, weapons used by ordinary people were like children’s toys. Even if he had no strength now, it was easy for him to forge some weapons used by ordinary people.

“Thank you, Lord!” Peng Jiuyuan cupped his hands.

He followed Peng Jiuyuan along the small path of the mountain village.

This was the first time Zhou Shu had walked out of Peng Jiuyuan’s courtyard after waking up.

Previously, he had been trying to recover in Peng Jiuyuan’s house. At most, he had walked to the courtyard.

Boundary Bridge Village was built at the foot of a mountain. Many houses were built on the mountainside.

All he could see were lush forests and beautiful scenery.

Zhou Shu looked at the continuous mountains in the distance and said thoughtfully, “Uncle Peng, why is this village called Boundary Bridge Village?”

Peng Jiuyuan turned around and glanced at Zhou Shu. “According to ancient legend, Boundary Bridge Village is located at the end of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom. It’s the hub that connects the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom to the world of the dead, so it’s called Boundary Bridge Village.

“But that’s just a legend. I’ve lived here for decades, but I’ve never seen the legendary Naihe Bridge.”

Peng Jiuyuan shook his head. He didn’t think that the legend was true in the past, just like the ancestral teachings of the Peng family.

But now, the Peng family’s ancestral teachings had already come true. Even the Heavenly Court existed. Who could say that the legend of Boundary Bridge Village was fake?

Perhaps there was really a Naihe Bridge in Boundary Bridge Village that led to the legendary Netherworld.

“The Naihe Bridge?” Zhou Shu’s pupils flickered as he looked in a direction. “Peng Jiuyuan, you said that the person who injured you before was a lunatic with disheveled hair. Does he have any other characteristics?”

“Characteristics?” Peng Jiuyuan pondered. “At the time, I only noticed that he was covered in blood. I didn’t notice anything else.”

Zhou Shu nodded. “Has anything strange happened in this village?”

“No.” Peng Jiuyuan shook his head. “The people in the village are all ordinary people. Occasionally, there are people who go into the mountains to hunt and never return. Other than that, there’s nothing unusual.

“Hunting in the mountains is dangerous to begin with. It’s not strange for something to happen.”

Zhou Shu nodded. His eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything else. But his gaze was still fixed in a direction. Even when he arrived at the place where Peng Jiuyuan usually forged, he was still in a daze.

“Lord, this is the place. I usually forge here,” Peng Jiyuan introduced. “I’ve already stored some bows and arrows. I plan to help the village prepare dozens of hunting sabers and hunting forks…”

Peng Jiuyuan’s workshop was just an ordinary blacksmith’s workshop. There was a large furnace, messy piles of iron, and a few hammers of different sizes. This scene reminded Zhou Shu of when he was still a Forging Apprentice.

This place was really similar to a Forging Apprentice workshop.

“Lord, you’re injured. If you swing the hammer…” Peng Jiuyuan was just about to ask if Zhou Shu could swing a hammer when he saw Zhou Shu pick up a piece of iron from the ground. Then his eyes widened.

A ball of blue flames appeared in Zhou Shu’s palm.

Then the piece of iron melted into a ball of molten liquid at a visible speed.

Zhou Shu pulled with both hands, and a hunting saber took shape in his hand. It looked exactly the same as the hunting saber placed beside him.

Peng Jiuyuan’s mouth went dry. His lips moved a few times, but he didn’t make a sound.

It would take him at least a few days to forge a hunting saber, and he would be exhausted.

How long did it take the lord?

Before he could finish speaking…

“What were you trying to say?” Zhou Shu casually threw the hunting saber aside and smiled. Just as he had thought, although he couldn’t use the Iron Smelting Hands, there was no problem with using the mysterious flames in his body to forge. As long as he found the Celestial Thearch Sword and reconstructed the Legendary Armament Canon, there was hope!

He was in a good mood. “By the way, how many hunting sabers did you say you wanted to leave for the village?”

“Brother Peng, Brother Peng!”

Peng Jiuyuan was about to answer when a shout suddenly came from outside.

“Lord, I’ll go out for a while,” Peng Jiuyuan said to Zhou Shu.

After Zhou Shu nodded, he walked out.

After Peng Jiuyuan left, Zhou Shu looked at the iron piled by the furnace and felt his hands itch.

He walked over and picked up a piece of iron on the ground again…
