Chapter 14: Southern Barren Sea.... Desperate Situation

Inside the Li Sacred Clan main hall, Li Xian seethed with fury as he occupied the main seat, his face twisted into a menacing mask of rage.

His eyes burned with an unsightly expression, a fiery hatred simmering beneath the surface.

"How dare that brat Su Yen kill my people..."

His thoughts were venomous, and the memory of his fallen soldiers fueled his anger even more. His grip on the armchair tightened, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"You just wait... When I find the secret of the Metal Bone Construct..." His voice quivered with intense rage, teeth gritted as he contemplated the revenge he sought. "...I will attack you with full force."

The promise was laced with deadly determination. "I won\'t rest until I kill you..." He vowed, the words dripping with malice and vengeance.

Creak!

Just as Li Xian was masked in fury and vengeance, the door to the main hall creaked open, and Li Jun walked in with an unsightly expression.

"How was it?" Li Xian asked impatiently.

"Not good..." Li Jun shook his head dejectedly, looking at the armor in his hand that looked just like the Metal Bone Construct.

"What happened?" Li Xian couldn\'t understand how their blacksmith and formation master can\'t replicate something as simple as the Metal Bone Construct.

"Both our Blacksmith and Formation Master understood how to make the Metal Bone Construct, but..." Li Jun paused to arrange his thoughts.

"When they finished building the armor and tested it... It was just a common metal plate joined together. It was a failure."

"What! How!" Li Xian was furious and shocked at the same time.

"According to both the Formation Master and the Blacksmith Master, making the armor should be quite easy... But where they got it all wrong..."

"How can they fail to create such a simple armor as the Metal Bone Construct?" Li Xian slammed his palm on the armchair furiously, turning it into smithereens.

His eyes were etched with deep rage, veins protruding from his forehead.

"These stupid people can\'t even make such a simple thing.... Why would I keep them in the clan?" He shouted.

"Chase the two of them out of the clan and recruit more experienced Formation and Blacksmith Masters." Li Xian commanded furiously.

He had high hopes for replicating the Metal Bone Construct, which is why he hadn\'t attacked Cloudweaver City.

But now, his men can\'t replicate the armor, and he needed to find a solution as quickly as possible.

\'Where can I find people that could replicate the armor?\'

....

"Are you saying it is impossible for us to recreate the Metal Bone Construct?" Zhang Tao asked with a slight shock written on his face.

"Yes..." His son responded calmly. "Even though the Metal Bone Construct looks easy on the surface... the technique used in creating it is more complicated than we imagined."

Recovering from his initial shock, Zhang Tao relaxed in his seat, and a knowing look appeared on his face.

"I see... That\'s why the Su Clan dared to sell the Metal Bone Construct. They knew it can\'t be replicated," he said in a low voice.

"But father...." Zhang Bo called, not knowing whether he should continue or not.

"What?"

"Can\'t we find Formation and Blacksmith Masters that are not from the barren lands? Perhaps, they can do it." He looked at his father, expecting a criticizing comment about his absurd idea.

However, he receive none.

"I\'ve thought about that... But let me give it a deeper thought," Zhang Tao said calmly as he looked into the distance, lost in thought.

....

While the other sacred lands were trying to replicate the Metal Bone Construct, the Su Clan was raking in massive amounts of money.

The Su Clan, which was on the brink of destruction previously, was now bustling with activity, with smiles plastered on their faces.

It had been over a week since the Su Clan began the sale of the Metal Bone Construct, and word of the armor had covered the entire Eastern Barren Land.

Even though many people had yet to get their hands on the construct, their burning anticipation was evident on their faces.

Many people came from far and wide to Cloudweaver City in the hope of getting the magical armor.

Even though the Su Clan had stores in various parts of the barren cities, their stock was limited and couldn\'t be compared to the stock of Cloudweaver City.

"I\'m pleased to inform you our stock has been refilled. You can now purchase the Metal Bone Construct," a middle-aged man came out of the Su Clan main store and said with a radiant smile.

"Thank God! I knew my chances in the city would be higher than other places," a young man in his late twenties said with a smile and relief.

He had been sleeping in front of the Su store for a week, hoping to get his hands on the armor.

And today, his perseverance paid off.

"Please, be on a single line and don\'t cause any disturbances," the man shouted and called the first person.

....

Southern Barren Land.

The Southern Barren Land was different from other barren lands since it was the only land close to the sea.

Moreover, people willing to leave the barren had to leave through this southern barren land.

However, the risk of leaving the barren was higher than staying in the barren land.

On the Southern Barren Sea, hundreds of pirates paraded the sea, looking for their prey. The sea was no place for the weak.

Apart from the pirates, the deadly sea beasts were not to be underestimated. They were even more deadly than the pirates.

Their menace knew no bounds. The further one went deeper into the deep, the more ferocious sea beasts one would encounter.

No matter how cautious you were, the sea beasts would find you and attack you mercilessly.

Thus, venturing into the sea required a massive guard to protect the ships. And one of the avid rulers of the sea was the Huang Family.

They controlled the Misty Jade Harbor, and their ships spread throughout the sea.

People trusted the Huang Family for their peaceful nature and trustworthiness to ensure the safety of their clients above the sea.

However, the pirates were no weaklings.

Previously, the Huang Family could still protect the life and goods from the pirates, but the pirates were increasingly getting stronger, and they couldn\'t keep up, resulting in the loss of ships, one after another.

And today, the situation was no different.

"Die!"

Various screams filled the air as hundreds of pirates boarded a massive, magnificent ship.

The menacing pirates boarded the ship, harvesting the lives of everyone on the ship wantonly.

Their eerie laughter sent shivers down the spines of those guarding the ships.

Are we going to die?

Meanwhile, the thought of escape never appeared in their minds.

Escape where?

Jump into the sea?

Their deaths would be gruesome under the ferocious mouths of the waiting beasts, and besides, there wouldn\'t be any hope of escaping inside the water.

Therefore, their only hope was for a ship to pass at this moment and rescue them.

"Young master, what are we going to do?" A middle-aged man asked with fear evident on his face, blood leaking from the corner of his lips.

Panting vehemently, the young master looked at his trusted aide with a conflicted expression.

\'I can\'t let the pirates get their hands on that thing... I must do something...\' He thought, his brain racing, thinking of many scenarios to escape their current predicament.

He was a Body Building realm stage 3 while his protector was in Body Building realm stage 6.

However, compared to the pirates with a lot of stage 6 and stage 7 warriors, they were helpless.

Just then, the young man thought of something, and his eyes brightened.

\'I hope this is true as the merchant says,\' he prayed and brought out a shiny armor from his storage ring.
