Chapter 305: The Heartless Old Man Men

Men Laotou turned his head to look at Men Jianqiu and Yin Zhong, sighed helplessly, and then turned and left.

He did not intend to interfere in the matters between Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu anymore.

Although the dim-witted, honest, and simple-minded Yin Zhong was indeed a bit foolish, he was sincere toward others, and he would treat Men Jianqiu well.

Moreover, now that Yin Zhong had successfully forged the divine weapon, the Nether Sword, if he wanted to sell it, there would certainly be many people scrambling to snatch it up, and the money would surely be enough for them to spend for a long time.

Watching Men Laotou leave, Yin Zhong asked in his dim-witted way:

"Jianqiu, Master just sighed and left.

Is he still not agreeing to the matter between the two of us?"

Men Jianqiu smiled and said:

"Sha Dage, what my father meant just now is that he is already helpless; he will not interfere in our affairs anymore."

After hearing this, Yin Zhong hugged Men Jianqiu tightly and said:

"Really?

Now that I have the five thousand taels of silver notes given to me by Boss Qin, I can let your father propose marriage!"

The two hugged each other tightly, both looking forward to a beautiful future.

After Duan Fengyun left the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop with the Nether Sword, he brought the Nether Sword to his own courtyard.

At this moment, sensing the Nether Sword, the Xuanyuan Sword began to emit faint rays of light, while the Nether Sword, upon sensing the Xuanyuan Sword, kept trembling in Duan Fengyun's hand, as if it had encountered a natural enemy and wanted to break free from Duan Fengyun's hand to escape.

Duan Fengyun muttered:

"Good friend, don't be anxious.

Now is not the time for you to appear in this world; when the right time comes, I will let this world know of your power."

Duan Fengyun took the Nether Sword directly to the kitchen and opened a mechanism, and suddenly a secret room door opened.

This was a secret room Duan Fengyun had discovered one day while making food in the kitchen; it looked like it had been set up by the previous Boss.

This mechanism was quite hidden and required a certain amount of strength to activate, so it had not been discovered by anyone before.

The secret room was about twenty square meters; after entering, Duan Fengyun drew the Nether Sword and began to observe it carefully.

The whole sword did not look unusual, but the red eye on the hilt gave people an eerie feeling.

Looking at the Nether Sword, Duan Fengyun wanted to try a new trick.

He raised the Nether Sword and exerted his utmost to stimulate the Magic Blade True Essence within his body; suddenly, as if triggered by something, the blade of the Nether Sword turned bright red, and the entire sword was filled with baleful energy.

And Duan Fengyun, holding the Nether Sword, looked like a Demon God descending into the world, his whole person filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, inside Shuiyue Dongtian, Tong Zhan and Tong Xin, who were chatting by the campfire, suddenly felt a sense of extreme unease in their hearts.

The two brothers looked at each other and discovered that they both had this feeling.

The Spirit Mirror nearby was also trembling constantly; Tong Zhan picked up the Spirit Mirror, and after a light wave of his hand, the image in the Spirit Mirror displayed the appearance of the Nether Sword, with the two characters "Nether" on the hilt standing out prominently.

Tong Xin muttered:

"The Nether Sword!"

Tong Zhan said:

"This is the Spirit Mirror giving us a warning.

It seems the Spirit Mirror has already sensed that this Nether Sword is about to bring a catastrophe to the Human Realm; our peaceful days are over, and starting tomorrow, we must leave Shuiyue Dongtian to find this Nether Sword!"

Tong Bo looked thoughtful as he gazed at the appearance of the Nether Sword; seeing Tong Bo's expression, Tong Zhan asked:

"Big Brother, do you recognize this Nether Sword?"

Tong Bo replied:

"When Dou Dou and I went to the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop to find Sha Dage, I saw many swords of this style."

"That's right, I haven't seen Sha Dage for a long time.

Dou Dou, let's go see Sha Dage tomorrow."

After hearing this, Tong Zhan looked at Dou Dou and asked:

"Dou Dou, have you seen this sword at Yin Zhong's place?"

At this moment, Dou Dou was also constantly recalling; after thinking for a long time, Dou Dou nodded and said:

"That's right, I remember now; Tong Dage and I did indeed see many such swords at the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop!"

Tong Zhan patted the table beside him and said:

"It seems this Nether Sword must have something to do with Yin Zhong!

Everyone, get some rest early; we will go to the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop tomorrow to find Yin Zhong and then take this Nether Sword away.

We absolutely cannot let this sword bring disaster to the Human Realm."

The few people who had originally planned to have a good chat by the campfire had to return to their respective rooms to rest because of the sudden warning from the Spirit Mirror.

Inside the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop, thinking that the daughter he had raised for so long was about to be coaxed away by someone else, Men Laotou felt a wave of depression in his heart.

Men Laotou carried a jar of wine by himself and started drinking gloomily in his room.

As he drank, Men Laotou felt even more depressed; he walked to the cabinet nearby, took out the box where he had found the Millennium Cold Iron, and checked to see if there were any other good things inside.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Men Laotou searched through it and, sure enough, discovered a clue.

There was a false bottom inside the box; discovering this, Men Laotou immediately sobered up. He opened the false bottom full of expectation, only to find a letter.

Disappointed, Men Laotou opened the letter and saw that it contained only a few short sentences.

"The Millennium Cold Iron is a divine material cursed by the heavens; whoever uses this iron to forge a weapon must sacrifice their beloved to break the curse before the demonic nature of this iron can be removed.

No descendant of my Men family shall use this iron to forge weapons!"

Men Laotou turned pale after reading it; he had not expected this piece of Millennium Cold Iron to have such a curse.

Men Laotou muttered:

"This sword was forged by Sha Dage; if Jianqiu marries Sha Dage, wouldn't Jianqiu be Sha Dage's beloved?"

At that time, wouldn't the curse of the Nether Sword fall upon Jianqiu?

No, I cannot let Jianqiu suffer the curse, I cannot let the two of them be together!"

Men Laotou took the letter directly to the candle and burned it.

Men Laotou now had only one thought: to destroy this letter and not let Men Jianqiu and Sha Dage be together.

In fact, after the ancestors of the Men family discovered that this piece of Millennium Cold Iron carried a curse, they had also once wanted to throw away this divine iron.

However, as a family of sword casters, the ancestors of the Men family could not bear to give up this divine iron, so they placed it in an iron box, locked its curse inside the box along with it, and then buried it in the Sword Furnace.

Men Laotou stumbled out of the room, and just as Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu, who were still in the main hall discussing the marriage proposal, were about to greet him, Men Laotou stepped forward, grabbed Men Jianqiu's hand, and said:

"Jianqiu, stay away from Sha Dage; I do not allow you two to be together!"

Men Jianqiu stared at Men Laotou and said:

"Father, why?

Why must I stay away from Sha Dage, and why do you not allow us to be together?"

Men Laotou said angrily:

"Where do all these 'whys' come from?

By the command of parents and the words of matchmakers, without my consent, you cannot be together!"

Yin Zhong stepped forward at this moment, knelt before Men Laotou, and said:

"Master Men, my heart is true toward Jianqiu, and I will certainly give Jianqiu happiness. Please, Master Men, let Jianqiu marry me!"

Men Laotou looked at the sincere-faced Yin Zhong, and he also knew that Yin Zhong could certainly give Men Jianqiu happiness.

But he could not watch the curse of the Nether Sword fall upon his daughter, so he could only harden his heart and break the two of them apart.

Men Laotou said viciously to Yin Zhong:

"It is all because of you; if not for your appearance, how would Jianqiu defy me?

Get out of the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop! The Men Family Sword Casting Workshop does not welcome you, get out now!"

After speaking, Men Laotou pushed Yin Zhong directly, intending to shove him out.

The noise of the three of them woke Dazhu, who had already fallen asleep. Dazhu rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the main hall, only to see Men Laotou pushing Yin Zhong.

Dazhu stepped forward, pulled at Men Laotou, and said:

"Master, why are you pushing Sha Dage?"

Men Laotou turned his head and said viciously to Dazhu:

"If you dare to stop me, I will push you out too!

Go and hold Jianqiu back for me; we will talk after I drive Sha Dage away."

After speaking, Men Laotou continued to push Yin Zhong, wanting to shove him out.

Men Jianqiu had already been held back by Dazhu at this moment. Dazhu, of course, knew of the affection between the two, but he had to obey Men Laotou's orders, otherwise he would be driven away.

Men Laotou ignored Men Jianqiu's cries and continued to push Yin Zhong toward the door.

Yin Zhong had strength but dared not resist, so he had to let Men Laotou push him toward the door.

After successfully pushing Yin Zhong outside, Men Laotou immediately closed the door.

Men Laotou walked into the room and saw Men Jianqiu with red eyes. Men Laotou said with a look of guilt:

"Jianqiu, do not blame Father; Father is doing this for your own good.

You will understand the reason Father did this in the future!"

Men Jianqiu ignored Men Laotou and kept muttering:

"I want to go out and see Sha Dage; I, Men Jianqiu, will marry no one but him!"

Upon hearing Men Jianqiu's words, Men Laotou said with frustration:

"Why won't you listen to reason, girl? Father is doing this for your own good!

Dazhu, take Jianqiu to her room and lock her up. Do not let her out without my order."

Dazhu looked at Men Laotou in disbelief; he had never seen Men Laotou be so cruel to Men Jianqiu.

But when he looked into Men Laotou's eyes, he immediately cooperated and took Men Jianqiu to her room and locked her in.
