Forge it or not?
Master Craftsman was torn inside!
Ling Yun spoke again. "I have faith in you. You'll forge this sword. Here are the blueprints. I want it tonight!"

In the past, the Ancient Underworld King had killed many artifact refiners because they refused to forge Deathly Stillness. They had met with a gruesome end, provoking the wrath of both gods and men.
Ling Yun's actions just now were telling Master Craftsman to die, and the latter could only
