Chapter 231: Endangered

This spear attack by Ye Mo naturally utilized the Will of the Chu Killing Spear, accumulating killing intent inside his body and letting everything explode. This attack was not harnessed for a long time but launched when deemed necessary.

The spear attack pierced through layers of red clouds and emerged from a vacuum zone, stabbing into the sword slave’s chest. The red clouds dissipated instantly.

Boom!

The devastating attack did not hurt the sword slave, but his whole body was sent flying towards the sword river, which shocked the sword slave.

Being sent flying on his back above the sword river, the Million Ancestral Swords formation was immediately activated as millions of weapons of all shapes and sizes were triggered and shot towards the sword slave. Inside the sword river, millions of swords flew at once, and the devastating aura of the sword attacks could be felt in all directions.

Even the face of a True Energy Realm fighter would change upon seeing this.

The sword slave opened his golden Energy Wings with a sudden change to his expression as he continuously blocked off the attacks by the Million Ancestral Swords with his weapon. However, after a few blocks, his arm was cut down by a giant sword. Blood spurted across the sword river.

“Members of the Qingyun League – impressive indeed. However, I’m dragging all of you down with me. The master will avenge me!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless number of flying swords stabbed the sword slave at once, turning him into a mist of blood!

Hiss!

Ye Mo could not help but heave a cool sigh upon witnessing that. The power of the Million Ancestral Swords was indeed frightening indeed. The Exorcism Formation could not hold a candle to this. If he could set up a big formation like this himself, he would not have to fear anyone, not even the Emperor.

“This Million Ancestral Swords formation requires three seals to set up. It takes a fighter with competent sword technique training to be able to take the energy within the sword river and use it to create this seal formation.” As she spoke, Ling’er gave Ye Mo another reality check, “This type of big formation will not be able to kill the Emperor!”

“How strong is the Emperor exactly?” Ye Mo clenched both his fists. Half a year out of the three years of time had already passed. With two and a half years left, he wondered if he would be able to reach an adequate power to defeat the Emperor.

“Brother Ye Mo, pressure creates motivation. Have you not noticed that your training has been improving very quickly? Don’t overthink what is going to happen after two and a half years or whether you will be able to defeat the Emperor – all these will only affect your heart as a fighter, as a strong man. You are still the man whom the Rising Dragon Pillars approved of. Train hard and only focus on getting stronger. Afterwards, that is when you can look back,” consoled Ling’er.

Seeing that the sword slave had been killed by the Million Ancestral Swords, Wen Cangtian took quite a few moments to return to his senses. Ye Mo actually used the sword formation to achieve an unexpected victory, killing the sword slave.

“Qingyun League members are indeed something else. At this old age, I have finally witnessed it for myself,” one of the sword protectors said.

“What a relief, that sword slave is finally dead.”

The other sword protector let out a shout. He shook his head and sighed. “It is a shame that our Sword Whisper Manor will be unable to return to its glory days.”

“Darn it. I was so close to cultivating a Spirit Weapon. According to the sword slave, the master of the Yin Poison Society will soon arrive with a team of highly skilled experts to destroy the manor. The sword slave may have been killed, but the danger has yet to be removed,” said Ye Mo.

There were plenty of disciples in the Sword Whisper Manor, hence it would be impossible for everyone to make use of the remaining time to escape. With so many people escaping at the same time, they would become an extremely obvious target.

As for Wen Cangtian, due to the constant years of nurturing the blue flame weapon spirit and having been infected by the ice flame poison, his strength was far from reaching the True Energy Realm. Now that he was heavily injured, the master of the Yin Poison Society would be able to completely wipe out everyone in the Sword Whisper Manor.

Wen Cangtian waved towards the sword pool, and a black vessel appeared his hand. This small vessel was palm-sized, glistening crystal clear and giving out a flashing glow.

“The Sword Whisper Manor is endangered.”

Wen Cangtian let out a big sigh, passing the small vessel to Ye Mo. He said, “This is the Spirit Plucking Tool. Bring this back to the Qingyun League.”

“No! If we’re leaving, we will leave together!” said Yun Chuchu.

“Chuchu, there are so many people in the Sword Whisper Manor – how are you going to bring all of us along? The master of the Yin Poison Society, Du Wuju, is extremely sinister and murderous. He will not show any mercy, and will not hesitate to kill you even if you two are members from the Qingyun League,” said Wen Cangtian.

“Members of the Qingyun League, you two being able to kill the sword slave is a burden lifted off me. Take the Spirit Plucking Tool and leave. We are beside the sword pool. With the Million Ancestral Swords formation, they won’t be able to come here,” said the sword protector.

“No, I cannot leave.” Yun Chuchu’s expression was resolute.

Wen Cangtian looked at Yun Chuchu’s stubborn expression and smiled wryly. He said to Ye Mo, “Ye Mo, I underestimated you previously. You should understand the current situation, so I suggest you take Chuchu and leave.”

The kind-hearted Yun Chuchu had no regard for any consequences, but Ye Mo was different. Hence, Wen Cangtian had no choice but to seek Ye Mo’s opinion.

“Since Chuchu has decided to stay, then I shall stay too,” said Ye Mo.

Hearing that, Yun Chuchu’s face was filled with joy as she said, “Ye Mo, let us gather Uncle Cangtian and the rest and escape.”

“Ye Mo, this is not the time to think with your heart instead of your brain. It will be too late if the two of you don’t leave now,” Wen Cangtian said anxiously. He had initially thought that Ye Mo was a rational man, but now, he was messing around with Yun Chuchu.

“If Chuchu wants to save all of you, then I will think of a solution. Let me ask you, how long has the sword slave been undercover in the Sword Whisper Manor? Is it possible that he came into contact with members of the Yin Poison Society during this time?” Ye Mo asked with a serious look on his face.

“Ah, that sword slave has been undercover in the manor for over 30 years. A sword protector is prohibited from leaving the Sword Cleansing Cave. Hence, he has not stepped out of the cave for the 30 years that he has been a sword protector. The only interaction the four of us have all day are with these swords,” replied one of the sword protectors.

Hearing that, Ye Mo nodded his head and said, “If the sword slave was able to notify the Yin Poison Society, the way to crack the sword formation would’ve been leaked as well. Hence, hiding here may not be safe either. I heard that the master of the Yin Poison Society is already 40 years old – he probably wouldn’t be able to recognize the sword slave if he stood right in front of him.”

As Ye Mo finished speaking, the eyes of the sword protectors and Wen Cangtian started to sparkle. However, Yun Chuchu was still left in the dark as she squeezed beside Ye Mo.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

With 120 rays of Giant Dragon Powers entering his brain’s entry point, his thoughts became more precise. Coupled with Ling’er’s reminder, the ultimate secret to defeat the enemy finally crystallized in his mind.

“You want me to pretend to be the sword slave? Having spent 30 years living with him, I am able to mimic his every word and every action. However, even if this is successful, what can we do?”

The people from the Yin Poison Society intended to completely wipe out the Sword Whisper Manor and take away the Spirit Plucking Tool – what was the point of him pretending to be the sword slave?

“Your pretence is only meant to buy us time. Sword protector elders, one of you, head to the Sword Whisper Manor and instruct everyone to pretend to be dead – it will be best if they can injure themselves and make it look as realistic as possible. The other, pretend to be the sword slave and welcome the Yin Poison Society. Try to buy as much time as possible before bringing them to the Sword Cleansing Cave,” said Ye Mo.

“However, as sword protectors, we are not allowed to leave the Sword Cleansing Cave.”

“Elders, think about the current circumstances – there is no more time to care about such rules,” said Ye Mo.

The two sword protectors nodded their heads emphatically and left the Sword Whisper Manor instantly without thinking much.

“Ye Mo, what is the point of bringing the Yin Poison Society here? Du Wuju is as truly a fighter in the True Energy Realm. Furthermore, he knows how to crack the Million Ancestral Swords formation. How do we deal with the opposition?” Wen Cangtian asked anxiously.
