Chapter 498: Spear Sheath
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After about an hour, the two stark naked ladies still stood in the empty jungle, waiting anxiously. When they recalled Ye Mo’s words before he left, they didn’t dare put their clothes on.
“He hasn’t left, right?” said one of them.
“Wait a bit more,” the other said. “As soon as he dares touch us, he’ll pay terribly for it. That Bejeweled Weapon on his back will be ours.”
In order to get that Bejeweled Weapon, they didn’t mind standing there stark naked.
Rustle! Rustle!
They heard the sound of someone stepping on leaves. Their eyes lit up at the sound.
“Wahaha, the kid said that there’s a free gift here. Turns out he’s not lying. Two ladies waiting for us stark naked?”
A group of about four or five men rushed over. When they saw two beautiful women standing there stark naked, lustful expressions surfaced on their faces.
“That kid tricked us!” One of the women realized what happened. She quickly picked up her clothes and covered her body.
“Yo, ladies, what are you doing here?” One of the burly men rubbed his hands and asked with a perverted look on his face. “Standing here stark naked in broad daylight, what are you waiting for?”
“Die!” the woman shouted coldly. With a wave of her sword, a sword light swept forth. The man collapsed to the ground.
“Run!” When the other four men saw how ruthless the woman was, they stopped thinking of trying anything. They turned and ran.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Four sword lights shot out, each piercing the head of one of the men.
“That kid was completely uninterested in us,” one of the women said furiously. In the Four Seasons Clan, they enjoyed high status and reputation, and they had a lot of pursuers back at their clan. But now, even after stripping stark naked, they had failed to attract Ye Mo’s attention. They found that hard to swallow.
“The kid probably wasn’t interested in us at all. He was just trying to torment us. Let’s go back to the Desolate City. Consider this a lesson learned.”
After putting their clothes back on, the two returned to the Desolate City.
Meanwhile, Ye Mo was already on his way back to the Door of Desolation. He was somewhat troubled over what happened today.
With a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon that was also one of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons on his back, it was too obvious that it was no ordinary weapon. Anyone could see that. Those five people he met today were weak and easily dealt with. But if he met actually powerful opponents, things would be troublesome.
A mid-grade Bejeweled Weapons could entice even Transcendence Realm experts.
“Ye Mo, didn’t you made a sheath for me before?”Hong Ling asked. “A sheath will help hide my power. But the sheath you made before is obviously useless now. You have to make a new sheath, one capable of hiding my power. At the very least, it should be able to suppress my power to the level of a Spirit Weapon. With that, you’ll run into less trouble. With a sheath, even people with good eyes will have a hard time recognizing the Sky Blood Spear.”
Ye Mo remembered. He had gotten Bing Potian, the master of the Frozen Palace to forge him a sheath out of the thousand-year pure ice. But that sheath was only able to hide the spirituality of a Spirit Weapon. Now that the Sky Blood Spear had advanced to a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon, it was useless.
Ye Mo agreed that he needed to make a new sheath.
“But where can I find a sheath now?” Ye Mo was at a loss. Of course, making a sheath was easy. But ordinary sheaths wouldn’t work. And it was not cheap making a good sheath either.
“Why don’t you go look around at the Desolate City?” Hong Ling suggested. “If you can’t find anything good there, you’ll have to figure out a way to make a new sheath.”
“Um.”
This time, Hong Ling tried her best to hide her own aura. But the bloody spirituality still emanated from her, attracting greedy eyes to the Sky Blood Spear. But, of course, when they sensed Ye Mo’s extraordinary aura, they looked away quickly.
Ye Mo went straight to a weapons store. It was the largest weapons store at the Desolate City. It was rumored that the owner of the store was a master weapon refiner. He had successfully forged quite a number of Spirit Weapons.
Ye Mo entered the store. The person who welcomed him was an old man, over 60 years old. He was also a Spirit Devour Realm expert.
“Young man, are you here to buy weapon refining materials?” the old man asked. “We have all sorts of materials here, such as materials for Spirit Weapons, stones of numerous attributes, and even a few spirit plucking tools.”
“How do you know I’m here for materials instead of a weapon?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“Hehe, young man, the weapon on your back is no ordinary weapon,” the old man replied. “It looks like a Bejeweled Weapon. I don’t think you want any of the weapons here in my store.”
“You have good eyes, sir,” Ye Mo said. “But I’m afraid you guessed wrongly. I’m here for a spear sheath.”
“Spear sheath?” The old man glanced at the spear on Ye Mo’s back. “Sabers and swords all have their own sheaths, but I rarely hear people talk about spear sheaths. But, since you want one, I’ll see what I can do.”
“I need a spear sheath capable of hiding the weapon’s spirituality,” Ye Mo said.
“What?” The old man was astonished. “Sheaths like that are very rare. Of all my ancestors, only one has ever been made, and it was made by Sovereign Ying whose name was known throughout the continent. That sheath belonged to the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade, a sheath able to hide the weapon’s spirituality. But to make a sheath like that, you need Divine Dew and Black Crystal Stone. Both are extremely valuable materials, and I don’t have any in my store.”
Who exactly is this old man? Ye Mo thought in shock. The sheath of the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade was actually made by his ancestors?
“Sir, what if I can get the materials for you?” Ye Mo asked.
“Oh? As long as you have the materials, I should be able to make the sheath you need,” the old man replied.
“Ok. I’ll need a few days to prepare the materials,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll come back after I get them all.”
He left the store. Hong Ling had already told him earlier that the Divine Dew could be extracted from the sheath of the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade. So he only lacked the Black Crystal Stone.
That store was the largest weapons store in the Desolate City, and if not even they had the Black Crystal Stone, the only other option left for Ye Mo was to visit the largest trading center at the Desolate City, the Divine Treasure Guild.
The merchant house belonging to the Nangong Clan.
Ye Mo entered the building. For this trip, his sole target was the Black Crystal Stone.
The moment Ye Mo walked inside, he overheard a group of warriors talking.
“Have you heard, the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, a grand elder of the Door of Desolation’s Inner Peak had suddenly returned. The Blood Devil Saber, one of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons, has reappeared. The devilish aura of the weapon is too intense, and she’s trying to make a sheath to suppress it. Many organizations have arrived to buy some Black Crystal Stones to buy her favor with gifts. The price of the Black Crystal Stone is soaring.”
“Of course. Everyone knows how strong the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber is. Everyone wants to fawn on her. She’ll owe anyone capable of giving her a sheath a big favor.”
Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber? Ye Mo thought, They can’t be talking about that old hag, right?
