Chapter 1159: Inferno Weapon Smith Association (1)


    ?


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


    At this moment, a few figures were gathering in avish meeting hall, sitting around arge 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 n''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 sadnessced with dens killing intent shed past his eyes.


    "What!?"


    "Is this true!?"


    The elders'' expressions finally changed as they all eximed with different reactions. It finally dawned on them why Lloyd suddenly pulled them out from their posts and also exined 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, me of Destruction, being used on the outskirts of Forbidden Wall.


    "We all know that spell is ourst resort, and once used, the oue 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 rtionship. 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!


    Furthermore, he was also one of the ranked Forger Disciples of the outer sect court of Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect and a direct disciple of an Outer Court Forger Elder. He was here to gain experience, while the truth was he was here to help Lloyd evaluate the status of Western Guardian Sect City and, with that, his own outer branch family as well.


    After all, although they are named Weston, one of the four ruling ns of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, they do not belong to the main n''s direct bloodline, and to get their attention and resources, they need merits and achievements.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    It was also the same case for the other three guardian sect cities as well, and what could be a better way to earn merits by directlypeting with each other? After all, the four ns were bitter rivals as they always secretly shed with each other for the Sect Master, otherwise known as the Artifice Guardian Master''s position.


    Furthermore, only the ''Forger Disciple'' or ''Forger Faction'' has a true say in the sect because they are the sect''s true backbone, while the other faction, the ''me Faction'' of ''me Disciples'', is the sect''s shield, as they are all fighters.


    That''s why their background status was also elevated whenever a Forger Disciple appeared. The requirement to be an Outer Forger Disciple was a ''One-Star Spirit Weapon Forger'' that can create at least a lower ascension grade-1 weapon, while an Outer me Disciple status can be achieved by bing a 1-Star Ascension Solider and passing the corresponding entrance test. The difference in treatment was too big!


    Overseeing the Outer and Inner me Disciples and Forger Disciples were Outer and Inner me Elders and Forger Elders. Both were part of the Outer and Inner Court of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect.


    Above them were the Chief me Disciples and Chief Forger Disciples, and overseeing them were the me Masters and Forger Masters. Then, finally, the Sect Leader, the Artifact Guardian Master, and above him were elusive Grand Guardians, the Grand Artifact Guardian Masters.


    "It has to be those Sutton bastards! Don''t you know the moment Elder Brother came out from the sect, the fourth sessor of the Southern Guardian Sect City'' Sutton n also made his appearance? The Second Lord had also made that vile fellow suffer great humiliation in a Forging Challenge!


    "Since then, those Sutton Bastards are alwaysing in our way, yet Elder Brother always managed to make them suffer losses. But now, the thorn in their path is gone! n Head, please give me permission to avenge Elder Brother!" A woman with charming features eximed while trembling with eyes full of grievance and hatred.


    "Elder... Little Marguerite..." Lloyd and everyone else sighed ruefully, as they knew Elder Marguerite and John were lovers.


    Marguerite was also a me 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 n 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 me, ''Inferno Weapon Smith Association.''


    ''ording to the memories of those guides, this association was established by some Forger Master many years ago to give the Forger Disciples a tform 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 sessor turned it into a huge business and spread the Ascension far and wide? Now, they not only ept 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 ck Physique from here before going into the ck Market!''
