Chapter 128: The Sky Blood Sheath
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sun cut through the snowy mountain early the next morning.
Ye Mo opened his eyes. The first thing he thought of was what Cai Ling had mentioned the day before and he couldn’t help but respect her even more.
The only survivor of the Nine-tailed clan, she built a whole city because she was afraid of falling in love with men. She had even forfeited her Energy Devour Realm strength just to become more powerful.
All for one goal: revenge.
“Ye Mo, are you up?” Bing Bing asked as she knocked on the door of his room. “My father pulled an all-nighter, and he’d finished the sheath you’d asked for.”
Ye Mo couldn’t help but grin at the hospitality that the Palace Lord had shown towards him. The sheath made from the Ten Thousand Years Absolute Zero Ice was completed in just one night.
Ye Mo was lucky that the Palace Lord was also a blacksmith. If it was just another person, they might not have even been able to touch it. Only True Energy Realm warriors like the Palace Lord who were proficient in Ice Energy could work with the Absolute Zero Ice with ease.
The door opened, and Bing Bing walked in with a box in her hands that contained the sheath.
“Please send my thanks to the Palace Lord for this,” Ye Mo said. “Let’s check it out.”
Ye Mo took the box from Bing Bing and opened it. In it lay a massive sheath that was an icy blue color and shone with dim blue light.
“My father reminded me to tell you that if you drip your blood on it, the sheath will register you as its sole owner,” Bing Bing said. “You will not feel the cold air it will emit while other people who touch it will be pierced by the cold air.”
“Oh?” Ye Mo replied with his eyes wide open. Without any hesitation, Ye mo bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the sheath. The sheath instantly absorbed the blood.
Ye Mo extended his arm to touched the sheath, and he could not feel any cold air from it.
Woah! Even Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm warriors wouldn’t dare come near this ice! They would be instantly frozen if they touched it on accident!
“Not bad!” Ye Mo exclaimed and quickly took the Sky Blood Spear from his bed. The spear was already emitting waves of weak Evil Energy as its eyes were staring at the sheath with a bit of disdain.
Ye Mo sheathed the spear and the Evil Energy that was previously seeping out immediately disappeared. Even the sheath could act as a spearhead which, of course, was not as powerful as the Sky Blood Spear’s spearhead.
“Not bad at all!” Ye Mo laughed.
He was looking forward to when he would have the chance to unsheathe the spear and release all of its Evil Energy that was building up inside the sheath.
It made Ye Mo confident that he could even defeat an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior without using any charms.
“Then I’ll go continue my training,” Bing Bing said and turned to leave. “Don’t forget about our promise.”
People from the Pleasure Valley kept disturbing the Frozen Palace for the next three days. And on the third day, things finally escalated.
Xiaoyao Meiqi stood outside the Frozen Palace wearing a whole set of ice-resistance clothes. She came with dozens of warriors as if they were about to start a war. Four other people stood behind Xiaoyao Meiqi. Three of them were Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors while the other had a perverted look on his face and a messy beard. A cloak covered his thin body as he stood in the cold. He was the Lord of the Pleasure Valley, Xiaoyao Langzi.
Taishi Dan had spent the night with Xiaoyao Meiqi the day before, and he finally blurted out that Ye Mo was indeed at the Frozen Palace.
Taishi Dan even offered her three True Energy Pills for Ye Mo’s head.
“People of the Frozen Palace!” Xiaoyao Meiqi shouted. “Ye Mo has stirred up a load of trouble in our Pleasure Society and has stolen the Cursed Pearl from us. He even released the Cursed Energy in our city and cost many people their lives! You people of the Frozen Palace have been covering for him, and it angers our Valley Lord! Hurry up and hand over him or we’ll start the killing!”
The expressions of the guards changed instantly. All of the strongest from the Pleasure Valley had gathered there that day, from the three Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors to the True Energy Realm Valley Lord himself.
“Cover for me? I don’t need that!” Ye Mo shouted and landed in front of Meiqi while holding the Sky Blood Spear on his back.
“So you really are here!” Xiaoyao Meiqi scolded as soon as she saw that Ye Mo dared to come out himself. “Kneel in front of our Lord, or I’ll give you a taste of hell!”
“A taste of hell?” Ye Mo snorted. “I won the Cursed Pearl fair and square, yet you people wouldn’t hand it over and even tried to kill me! If not for the Cursed Energy, I would’ve been dead then!”
“How dare you!” one of the guards shouted and walked towards Ye Mo. “How dare a Spirit Cultivating Sixth Realm warrior like you dare speak to our first disciple like that! How dare you accuse us of cheating. Kneel before our Lord!”
Before the guard could walk any closer, Ye Mo slapped him with astounding force. Half of his face burnt from the slap while a number of his teeth came loose.
“Kneel?” Ye Mo said in disdain. “How dare a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm warrior like you order me to kneel!”
One of the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm was angered by Ye Mo’s action and jumped into the sky like an eagle. He opened his palm and evoked a massive palm energy towards Ye Mo’s head.
“Die!” the warrior roared.
“The Will of Sword, Fox Spectrum!” Cai Ling shouted as she jumped in front of the palm. A flash of red Sword Projections shot from Cai Ling’s sword and formed into a fox that collided with the palm.
The impact from the collision caused Ye Mo to take a few steps back.
The Palace Lord stood on top of a hill and had his Spiritual Power locked onto Xiaoyao Langzi.
Energy Shaping Ninth Realm sure is a cut above me! Ye Mo thought to himself. He’d already known Cai Ling would jump out to protect to him, which was why he wasn’t afraid of the energy palm.
“It’s you?” Xiaoyao Langzi blurted in shock of Cai Ling’s appearances. “So the kid was the one who saved you and made me lose my chance to advance to the Heaven’s Gate Realm! You’ll have to die for that too!”
“Die? Do you think that it will be that easy?” Ye Mo laughed. “Your powers are on par with the Palace Lord. It’s true that the Frozen Palace only has one Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior while you have three on your side, but don’t forget that Cai Ling still retains her Energy Shaping Ninth Realm capabilities. She will be enough to take on two of your Ninth Realm warriors!”
“It will be a loss for both of us if you want to take Ye Mo by force,” the Palace Lord said.
In truth, only Cai Ling was able to confront the three Ninth Realm warriors. The only Ninth Realm warrior from the Frozen Palace was still doing his best to advance to the True Energy Realm. Even if Cai Ling were able to take on two of them, she would definitely lose if all three of them charged at her together.
The Frozen Palace would definitely lose if they went to war.
Yet the Pleasure Valley took advantage of the situation that the Frozen Palace was in.
“Bing Potian!” Xiaoyao Langzi called out to the Palace Lord coldly as if he was about to launch an attack. “Are you sure you want to protect Ye Mo?”
“It’s not that I want to protect him,” Bing Potian said and laughed. “Since Ye Mo had saved Cai Ling, naturally, she’ll protect him when he’s in danger. There’s no way that we’ll let the Lord of the Women City go into the fight alone.”
“Valley Lord!” Ye Mo called out. “How about we make a deal? I’ll have a fight with Xiaoyao Meiqi in three days! If I win, you’ll take your warriors and leave and never bother me again. On the contrary, if I lose, you can do anything to me.”
Three days should be enough for another True Energy Realm warrior to emerge.
