Chapter 1159: Inferno Weapon Smith Association (1)



In the central region of the Western Guardian Sect City, this place was also called the Weston District because it was where the people of the Weston Clan lived, and no one was allowed here without permission.

At this moment, a few figures were gathering in a lavish meeting hall, sitting around a large table and looking solemnly at the gloomy middle-aged man with short light red hair and a thick beard. He was the one with the title Western Guardian, also the head of the Weston Clan's outer branch, Lloyd Weston. The people sitting around the table were Elders, with status only below Lloyd.

"John was assassinated five days ago!" Lloyd spoke in a grim tone as a hint of sadness laced with dens killing intent flashed past his eyes.

"What!?"

"Is this true!?"

The elders' expressions finally changed as they all exclaimed with different reactions. It finally dawned on them why Lloyd suddenly pulled them out from their posts and also explained the reason for his gloomy mood.

"I've confirmed it. Five days ago, his Life Jade broke, and after I personally investigated, I found traces of Forbidden Spell, Flame of Destruction, being used on the outskirts of Forbidden Wall.

"We all know that spell is our last resort, and once used, the outcome is certain death. So, this also brings to my conclusion that John was assassinated, and the assassins were too strong for him to even have him use the forbidden spell to sacrifice his own life." Lloyd stated as his killing intent intensified.

After all, John was his brother, and they had a very good relationship. Not to mention, John was special as he was a protégé of Spirit Weapon Forging, a One-Star Spirit Weapon Forger above the Grad-9 Runic Smith!

Marguerite was also a Flame Disciple, while John was a Forger Disciple of Outer Court, and not only that, they had been together since childhood.

Lloyd clenched his fists as he felt even more indignant and had the same thoughts as Marguerite. He knew the Sutton Clan was the prime suspect behind John's uncanny death.

But he can't let his emotions get the better of him; without any evidence, the Sutton were untouchable, and if they made some reckless move, they would suffer. He can't let Marguerite take rash action, either.

"Don't worry, Elder Marguerite. I've already contacted John's master, and I'm sure the Outer Sect Court would've already been alert by John's death since they took a Forger Disciple's uncanny death extremely seriously, which is a matter of upholding the sect's integrity. "I'm sure John's master would be here any moment now with Sect Enforcers. They can easily find out what happened to John, and those Sutton bastards won't be able to hide for long!" Lloyd gritted his teeth as he suppressed his fury and urged to go on a rampage in Southern Guardian Sect City.

While a slight undercurrent raged, Ace stood before a grand fifty-floor pagoda with rows of lines outside. Everyone seemed extremely respectful as they waited for their turns.

He saw the grand sigil of an imposing crimson 'Fire Bird' craved from some glowing crimson mineral. Just by looking at it, one would feel a burning sensation. It was the symbol of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect.

Ace looked towards the imposing name carved on the entrance, which seemed to be burning like a living flame, 'Inferno Weapon Smith Association.'

'According to the memories of those guides, this association was established by some Forger Master many years ago to give the Forger Disciples a platform to practice their forging skills with other people's materials and forge weapons for others. It's a win-win scenario.

'But who could've thought that the same Elder's successor turned it into a huge business and spread the Ascension far and wide? Now, they not only accept requests but also let unaffiliated forgers join the association and seek talented disciples through it.'

Ace's eyes shimmered with intrigue as he walked towards a line and mused, 'Not only that, they also sell weapons... let's see if I can gather some materials for Universal Ascension Black Physique from here before going into the Black Market!'
