Chapter 989 Missing
Jiang Huai glanced at General Rong indifferently and then pulled Xiang Nan to sit down at the stone table.
"Come, little friend Xiang Bei, have a drink with me to celebrate the arrival of the Italian soldiers." Jiang Huai held the wine glass in his hands and went to toast with Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan also hurriedly cupped his hands and touched Jiang Huai, and the two of them drank it all in one gulp.
General Rong , who was standing beside him, was a little embarrassed. He was holding a glass of wine and was about to clash with it, but Xiang Nan and Jiang Huai ignored him.
General Rong smiled bitterly. He knew that there shouldn't be any price to pay here. He said, "Jiang Huai, Xiang Bei, don't think that I'm too powerful. I'm really in charge of the Jiang Clan. Everything has to be considered for the clan."
"If I were as carefree as the two of you, I could be as carefree as you are. Alright, my old man isn't here to annoy you anymore. Cheers. Thank you for your kindness, Xiang Bei."
General Rong drank a cup of wine and stood up to say goodbye.
Jiang Huai glanced at General Rong 's back and said to Xiang Nan, "Don't worry, he has been like this since he was young. Although we are biological brothers, our temperaments and temperaments are different."
"My Jiang family isn't all snobs like General Rong ."
"I don't dare. This junior understands." Xiang Nan smiled.
"However, what Old Grandpa General Rong said is also correct. I really shouldn't be enjoying my leisure in the face of a major enemy. I need to quickly forge more Italian weapons for the Jiang Clan."
After drinking and eating, the two of them rested for a while before entering the artifact forging room.
Forging an Italian weapon was no longer difficult for Xiang Nan to deal with Jiang Huai. The hardest part was the first step. After the first step, one would gain experience. It would be much easier to forge again.
However, this item was indeed not suitable for mass production. Forging Italian weapons was much more complicated than ordinary weapons, and the materials required were also more complex.
To forge Italian weapons, one had to be assisted by someone who understood the Insight Technique. With this, it was doomed to be impossible to produce them on a large scale.
In the entire world, very few people knew how to make decisions.
The rest of the matter was much simpler. Xiang Nan and Jiang Huai worked together to forge.
Jiang Huai was responsible for forging weapons, while Xiang Nan was responsible for forging scabbards and sword sheaths, and setting up spirit locking arrays on them.
When Jiang Huai needed to inject "Insight" into the weapon, Xiang Nan distracted himself from injecting "Insight" into it and continued to forge the scabbard.
His own nightmare knife didn't need to be forged, because he knew how to release his will.
The two of them worked together and were experts in forging weapons. On average, they could forge three Italian weapons every day.
Xiang Nan was really in the Jiang Clan. He stayed for more than a month and helped the Jiang Clan forge a hundred Earth Grade and twelve Heaven Grade Italian Weapons.
One hundred and twelve weapons, eighty-two swords, and thirty blades were all inserted into the scabbard.
The Italian soldiers sealed by the scabbard would not lose their will. They could just pull them out when they used them. If they were used up and put them in, they would be able to fight many battles.
When the two of them finished their work and came out of seclusion again, Xiang Nan thought that General Rong would be very happy.
However, in reality, General Rong was worried.
"Why, are you still not satisfied with so many Italian soldiers?" When Jiang Huai saw General Rong 's expression, he couldn't help but get angry.
Jiang Huai frowned bitterly and said, "I'm not here for this matter, but … Xue Lu girl is missing."
"What?" Xiang Nan was already extremely tired. He wished he could fall asleep immediately, but when he heard this news, his spirit awakened.
"Where did you go?" Xiang Nan hurriedly asked, "Did you run out to play? Did you go to the Moonlight Tour to look for it?"
"I've searched everywhere." General Rong sighed and said, "There is no trace of her anywhere. Furthermore, no one from the Outer Palace has seen her leave."
Xiang Nan said, "Why is a living person disappearing from the General Manor?"
"Could it be that someone took her away?"
"It's not possible!" General Rong denied and said, "I have countless experts in the General Manor, all of whom are at the Fortune Realm and the Divine Martial Realm!"
"Absolutely no one can snatch away the juniors of our Jiang Clan in such a place."
Xiang Nan also felt that it was indeed impossible. There were quite a few experts in General Rong 's generation, including a few at the Half-Sage Realm who were cultivating in seclusion.
Even if the Heavenly Profound Sect Master personally came, he might not be able to steal Xue Lu quietly.
However, how did Jiang Xuelu disappear?
"Where's the The island of exile ?" Xiang Nan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "How did the people of the The Profound Sky Sect leave the island in exile?"
General Rong said, "Oh, you and Jiang Huai have never heard of forging weapons."
"The people of the The Profound Sky Sect left directly through the spatial passageway. They opened a spatial passageway in this world and went straight to the The island of exile ."
Jiang Huai nodded, "It is very difficult to open spatial passages across planes, but it is much easier to open spatial passages within this world."
General Rong said, "However, their number of Void Stones is not enough. Even the spatial passageway opened in this world is very unstable. There is an extremely powerful tearing force in the passageway. Unless a Fortune Realm expert or above is present, they will not be able to withstand it."
"Once a Heaven Scryer realm martial artist enters, they will immediately be torn into pieces."
"Then did they use the spatial passageway to steal Xue Lu away?" Xiang Nan muttered.
"The last time you saw Jiang Xuelu, just tell me what happened."
General Rong then described the scene of him separating from Xue Lu for the last time and Xiang Nan's original description.
Xiang Nan frowned and said, "With Xue Lu's temperament, she will never go back to rest. She must wait here until I come out of seclusion. I am sure of that."
"In other words, if someone really stole her, it should be around here."
Xiang Nan took a few steps back. His hands formed seals and wiped them from his pupils. He used the Lightning Photoelectric Eye.
However, there was nothing around the radius, not even a tiny bit of Yuan Qi or Dipper Qi fluctuations.
"Perhaps it has been too long, and the residual fluctuations in the air have completely disappeared."
Xiang Nan looked around again. Very quickly, his eyes fell on the flower tree.
Xiang Nan quickly walked over and gently stroked a branch of the flower tree for a while.
"What did you find?" Jiang Huai asked with a serious expression.
Xiang Nan directly broke off the branch and showed it to Jiang Huai, "Old man, look at this branch."
He looked at the branch and wondered, "There is an extremely fine crack in the bark of this branch that is hard to see with the naked eye. What does this mean? I really don't understand, old man."
"This represents the wind element." Xiang Nan narrowed his eyes and said, "When a talented Wind Vein martial artist awakens his talent, he will transform into the purest Wind Elemental Energy."
"This pure wind elemental energy is capable of invading the wood elemental structure of the flower tree, causing its structure to become loose, thus forming a large number of dense tree branch cracks."
Xiang Nan gritted his teeth and said, "It was the people from the The Profound Sky Sect !"
Jiang Huai and General Rong were instantly enraged.
General Rong was furious to the point that he had his clansmen snatched away in his lower-priced headquarters! This was truly a great humiliation.
"But I don't understand." Xiang Nan frowned, "What is the reason why they snatched Xue Lu away? Could it be that they want to use Xue Lu to threaten Jiang Clan and hand over the Void Stones?"
"If that's the case, it's been a month since Xue Lu disappeared. I haven't seen the The Profound Sky Sect come to contact your Jiang Clan."
"Could it be that Jiang Xuelu has other unknown special functions?"
