Can I, Ma Liang, Still Walk Out of the Artifact Refining Palace Alive Today?

As everyone knows, Ma Liang's nickname Divine Dagger Ma Liang!

This divine dagger symbolizes overcoming all difficulties and obstacles!

Moreover, everyone knows that Senior Brother Ma Liang is Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant, and his ability to interpret Senior Brother Xinghe's words is simply off the charts!

Man Sheng said that he had wanted to learn from his Senior Brother Ma Liang before, but Senior Brother Ma Liang was injured and had been recuperating, so Man Sheng knew that he shouldn't bother Senior Brother Ma Liang.

But things are different recently.

Recently, my Senior Brother Ma Liang has been taking Dragon Heart Pill and Tiger God Pill every day, and he's incredibly energetic!

Go and take a look around the palaces; even when Senior Brother Ma Liang is cursing, he seems to have more energy and strength than before!

At this moment, Ouyang Ming realized he had been too careless!

Why didn't I think of asking Senior Brother Ma Liang for advice before!

As everyone knows, Senior Brother Xinghe likes to only say half of what he means, mainly to leave his junior brothers and sisters with room for their own thought.

However, sometimes, people don't fully understand what Senior Brother Xinghe means!

Therefore, in this situation, as Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant, Senior Brother Ma Liang's comprehension ability goes without saying!

Without any further delay, Ouyang Ming immediately had his younger sister, Ouyang Ling, prepare wine and dishes, and then personally invited Senior Brother Ma Liang to the Artifact Refining Palace with Man Sheng.

When Ma Liang entered the Artifact Refining Palace and saw Ouyang Ling holding a wine pot, smiling and inviting him to sit down, he was so frightened that he wet himself on the spot!

"Junior Brother Ouyang... Junior Sister Ouyang... I might have been a bit too harsh in what I said during my recent visit to the Artifact Refining Palace. If I did anything inappropriate, please tell me, and I'll apologize to you directly... I can issue a public apology. I've had a tough time too. We're all fellow disciples; there's no need to take my life!"

Ma Liang looks so cute with teary eyes right now!

What the hell? How can the Future Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Holy Land be so cowardly?

Friends... has it been because Miss Ouyang Ling hasn't been making as much noise lately that you've forgotten what kind of person Ouyang Ling is?

Ma Liang said that if he were to enter today, Ouyang Ming's side would have prepared eight hundred axemen, and he might not be unable to put up a fight!

But my friends!

Please take a close look...

Standing over there is the smiling Ouyang Ling...

The meal and wine that Ouyang Ling prepared herself... what's the difference between this and a death warrant?!

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, you've misunderstood. These are really just ordinary dishes, all from Senior Sister Ouyang Ling's heartfelt wishes! There's really nothing else going on. If you don't believe me, I'll have one of our Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits disciples taste it for you first!"

"Big guy! Come on, try these dishes and drinks first!"

At Man Sheng's command, a giant who looked to be over three meters tall stepped out from among the disciples of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits!

This guy walked to the table with a creepy smile, then picked up his chopsticks and randomly tasted a dish!

Then... he lay down!

The audience. "???"

Ouyang Ming: "???"

Man Sheng: "???"

Ma Liang: "???????????????????"

Ma Liang was completely dumbfounded... Wait... Fellow disciples, if you're going to harm me, couldn't you at least rehearse before you poison me?

Can't you discuss beforehand which dishes are poisonous and which aren't?

You guys didn't rehearse at all, and the poisoning was so obvious—is that really appropriate?

Seeing Da Kuai fall down, Ouyang Ming was stunned. He quickly took out the antidote to detoxify Da Kuai. After Da Kuai was detoxified, Ouyang Ming grabbed his sister's ear!

"Ouyang Ling, what are you doing?"

"Hey hey hey... Oh dear... Bro... There are people watching... Can't you show me a little respect... I made a mistake... I accidentally made a mistake, I promise the rest aren't poisonous!"

To express his apology, Ouyang Ming personally tasted all the remaining dishes. Seeing that Ouyang Ming had not encountered any problems, Ma Liang finally felt relieved!

After Ma Liang sat down, he looked at Ouyang Ling, who was standing to the side pouring wine, and Ma Liang up. "Tell me... who to kill..."

The audience. "???"

What the heck? Why do you think Ma Liang would ask that?!

Friends... do you know where this place is?

This is the Artifact Refining Palace! If you told me, Ma Liang, that I took three or five hundred divine weapons from here, Junior Brother Ouyang Ming wouldn't even bother to look at me!

But last month, I passed by here and was a little hungry. I just ate a bowl of cold noodles from Junior Brother Ouyang Ming, and guess what? For the next two weeks, Junior Brother Ouyang looked at me like I was his father's killer!

Now, please look at the table, there are ten meat dishes alone!

This even includes braised pork knuckle and cold noodles!

And Ouyang Ling was standing there, flashing her eight little Xiaobai teeth, pouring wine for me Ma Liang...

Under these circumstances, can you believe that I, Ma Liang, can walk out of the Artifact Refining Palace alive today?

This level of treatment is something that even the Grand Elder would never receive, let alone Senior Brother Xinghe!

So Ma Liang said, "Tell me the truth today, who do you want me to kill Ma Liang?"

I'm willing to risk everything as long as you spare Ma Liang life!

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, you've misunderstood... It's actually about our Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits!" Man Sheng spoke up from the side.

Upon hearing Man Sheng's words, Ma Liang was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

Recently, ever since the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits entered the Artifact Refining Palace, all the other palaces in the Vast Heaven Holy Land now refer to the Artifact Refining Palace as the Firecracker Palace!

After all, what kind of good person sets off firecrackers every day?

The sound of the furnace exploding every day was deafening! Disciples who knew about Ouyang Ming's furnace-exploding history said that the furnace-exploding skills of the Artifact Refining Palace now Pingyuan Ouyang Ming's peak furnace-exploding techniques!

Others either can't learn how to forge weapons, or they lack the talent!

But look at that Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, it's really hard to find a word to describe it!

If you're saying that Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits... then you're absolutely wrong about Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits. Right now, in the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land and even the entire Four Continents, apart from the Ouyang Lineage, Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits is probably unmatched in the art of weapon crafting!

But while his skill level is high and his Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits is top-notch, when it comes to actual operation, it's just outrageous!

A few days Ouyang Ming personally supervised Man Sheng forging. Ouyang Ming remarked that you might not believe it...

I'm someone who's almost at the Half-Step Concept Level, and I still just can't understand why Man Sheng failed!

He did everything right step by step, but when he put the pieces together, he completely failed...

This doesn't explain anything!

Hearing what Ouyang Ming and Man Sheng said, Ma Liang picked up the wine cup on the table and downed it in one gulp. Then, Ouyang Ling came up with a smile and filled Ma Liang's cup with wine.

Looking at the sensible Ouyang Ling, Ma Liang said, "I know all that you're saying, but I, Ma Liang, understand even more clearly that Senior Brother Xinghe is definitely not the kind of person who speaks without reason."

Since Senior Brother Xinghe sent the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to the Artifact Refining Palace, he must have had a purpose. Otherwise, what? Did Senior Brother Xinghe simply send the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to your Artifact Refining Palace to wear you down?

So the problem definitely isn't with Senior Brother Xinghe meant, which is why you took so many detours.

Now that you have found me, Ma Liang, I, Divine Dagger Ma Liang, will use my divine dagger to clear the way for you and will explain to you the true meaning of Senior Brother Xinghe!

Ma Liang said, "Come on, Man Sheng, tell me in detail why Senior Brother Xinghe sent your Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to the Artifact Refining Palace!"

Upon hearing Senior Brother Ma Liang's question, Senior Brother Ma Liang Man Sheng him a bowl of cold noodles and began to recount what had happened.

Man Sheng stated that it wasn't Senior Brother Xinghe who arranged it for them; he went to find Senior Brother Xinghe himself...

"What I mean is that you have to tell me every single word that Senior Brother Xinghe said back then, in the most detailed, detailed, and thorough way possible, without omitting anything!"

Hearing what Senior Brother Ma Liang said, Man Sheng was also in a real bind...

After all, Man Sheng didn't remember it that clearly at the time!

So Man Sheng first recalled it carefully, and then said that at the beginning, Senior Brother Xinghe said the same thing as Senior Brother Ma Liang, that everyone has their own expertise, and that we, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, are also excellent!

Then I Man Sheng that Senior Brother Xinghe was looking down on us for being clumsy, so I was about to give up. But after hearing about our clumsiness, Senior Brother Xinghe suddenly became very excited and immediately told us to come to the Artifact Refining Palace!

Man Sheng expressed that he didn't understand Senior Brother Xinghe's meaning at all. Why would he send them to the most refined Artifact Refining Palace after knowing they were clumsy?

Just as Man Sheng was looking on with a puzzled expression, Ma Liang put down his wine cup and said, "I've got it!"

That matches perfectly!

Man Sheng, why didn't you say so sooner!

Look... You know you're clumsy, and Senior Brother Xinghe knows you're clumsy too, but in this situation, Senior Brother Xinghe still sent you to the Artifact Refining Palace. There's only one possibility: Senior Brother Xinghe sent you here not to forge weapons at all!

And you guys, spending your days refining weapons, how can you not fail?

Ma Liang said, "So you still don't understand what Senior Brother Xinghe means!"

But upon hearing Senior Brother Ma Liang's words, not only were the others present stunned, but even Ouyang Ling was somewhat dumbfounded!

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... if the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits come to the Artifact Refining Palace not to forge weapons, then what are they doing here?"

Everyone was completely baffled by Ouyang Ling's words!

But Ma Liang said, "What's the panic! Pour the wine!"

Man Sheng, try to recall, what else did Senior Brother Xinghe say after that?

Upon hearing Senior Brother Ma Liang's question, Man Sheng racked his brains, but still couldn't come up with any useful information.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... After that, Senior Brother Xinghe really didn't say anything more. He just said that we, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, are suited for high-end weapon crafting, so he told us to find Senior Brother Ouyang and borrow the power of Tai Chu and the others to learn the most advanced weapon crafting techniques!"

"Slap!" Ma Liang slapped his hand hard!

Man Sheng... Do you want to listen to what you're saying here...? You actually think that Senior Brother Xinghe's words are nothing?

Senior Brother Xinghe is practically counting on his fingers to help you guys. Isn't what Senior Brother Xinghe said clear enough?

High-end weapon crafting!

The key is the word "high-end"!
