Chapter 228: Sword Cleansing Cave

After eliminating the three skilled fighters from the Yin Poison Society, Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu headed towards the Sword Whisper City, protecting the cart.
After experiencing what had just happened, Yun Chuchu, who was as pure as a piece of blank paper, became completely reliant on Ye Mo, insisting that she shared a white horse with him.
Yun Chuchu had lived in the Qingyun League all her life and had never experienced anything dangerous, nor come into contact with anyone. However, she understood certain things as well, gradually comprehending why Elder Yun insisted she endure tough martial training.
After riding for an hour, they arrived at the Sword Whisper City. The city entrance was imposing, with a giant stone sword stabbed above it, making people look up in admiration and respect.
Seeing the sword flag on the horse carriage, the soldiers guarding the city entrance automatically gave way, allowing Ye Mo and company to enter.
Sword Whisper City was not a highly populated city. At the moment, there were barely any people seen on the streets. The city used to be one that was bustling with activity, but due to the city’s weapon cultivating standards declining, it had since became a ghost town.
When the Tianwu Kingdom was first established, there were plenty of strong fighters as well as talents from all different occupations.
Following the passing of time, each generation in the Sword Whisper Manor became worse than the previous one. The manor owner of the current generation could only cultivate magical weapons. However, plenty of people believed that he actually possessed the ability to create spirit weapons, but whether that was true or false remained unknown.
Following the elder, Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu entered the Sword Whisper Manor. The moment they stepped into the place, a huge steel sword planted in the middle of the manor could be seen. At least thirty feet long, the imposing weapon was the symbol of the Sword Whisper Manor.
As they entered the manor, a middle-aged butler rushed out hurriedly, asking the elder, “Uncle Hu, how did you end up like this?”
“Butler Wen, didn’t you send the Zhengyuan Security Firm to safeguard our carriage? They were killed by members from the Yin Poison Society. Thankfully, there were two Qingyun League experts who lent us a helping hand, saving our lives and the Spirit Weapon as well,” said the elder.
“Unacceptable. The Yin Poison Society are going too far with their actions.”
Butler Wen, who was initially furious and let out a grunt in anger, then turned to Yun Chuchu, smiling as he said, “Thank you to the two of you for helping. The Sword Whisper Manor is eternally grateful.”
Butler Wen completely neglected Ye Mo. Yun Chuchu was in the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, so she was naturally going to be the leader. Furthermore, judging from her young age, she must be a league member under heavy nurturing from the Qingyun League.
Yun Chuchu waved her hand, smiling awkwardly as she replied, “No problem, no problem.”
Ye Mo stepped forward and said, “Where is the manor owner? Our purpose here at the Sword Whisper Manor is borrow an item.”
“What item do you two want to borrow?”
“The Spirit Plucking Tool!”
“What?” Stunned, Butler Wen said, “You two want to borrow the Spirit Plucking Tool? I’ll let you know that this item is treasured item of the Sword Whisper Manor. Furthermore, this Spirit Plucking Tool’s only use is to cultivate spirit weapons. What do you two need it for?”
“This right here is the granddaughter of Qingyun League’s Elder Yun, Yun Chuchu. Inform your owner, and he will naturally understand,” Ye Mo said.
Hearing this, Butler Wen understood that this was no small matter and hurried back into the palace. Following that, he returned, walking slowly back with a middle-aged man alongside him.
The middle-aged man had a resolute appearance, his skin slightly blackened. An obvious scar could be seen on his cheek. He gave out an extremely powerful aura, undoubtedly a True Energy Realm fighter.
“Chuchu, you’ve grown so big. You’re going to be a beauty soon.” Wen Cangtian smiled.
Yun Chuchu looked at Wen Cangtian curiously before her face was filled with delight. “You are Uncle Wen?”
“Haha, how is the old master? Can’t believe you’ve already reached the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm,” said Wen Cangtian.
Hearing that, Ye Mo immediately understood what he was saying. Elder Yun was Wen Cangtian’s master. While not an official master in title, he must have personally hand-picked him.
“Grandpa is in good health. The reason why I am here is to accompany Ye Mo to borrow the Spirit Plucking Tool from you,” Yun Chuchu said.
When Ye Mo detected that Wen Cangtian was analysing him, he clasped his hands together and said, “I am Ye Mo, a league member from the Qingyun League!”
An Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter was not worth the attention of Wen Cangtian. The only thing he could not figure out was why Elder Yun would allow him to accompany Yun Chuchu to borrow the Spirit Plucking Tool. After all, she was his only precious granddaughter.
“Mm!” Wen Cangtian nodded as he said, “If master wants to use the Spirit Plucking Tool, I shall deliver it personally. However, I am currently cultivating a secret Spirit Weapon. If you two want to use the tool, you’ll have to wait a while.”

“You are cultivating a Spirit Weapon?” Ye Mo asked, evidently shocked. He knew how to cultivate pills and seals, but not weapons. With his Five-Elements Energy, the metal elemental energy would be best suited for a weapon refiner.
Fire elemental for cultivating pills, water elemental for cultivating seals, metal elemental for cultivating weapons!
“Yes. As the ninth generation manor owner of the Sword Whisper Manor, I would be a disgrace to the manor if I do not cultivate a spirit weapon. Hence, I have spent the past few years refining my sword in the Sword Cleansing Cave,” said Wen Cangtian.
“Is it possible for me to take a look? I have great interests in weapon refinery!” said Ye Mo.
Wen Cangtian hesitated. Outsiders of the Sword Whisper Manor were not allowed to enter the Sword Cleansing Cave to observe the manor cultivating weapons.
Yun Chuchu grabbed Ye Mo’s arm and smiled at Wen Cangtian mischievously, saying, “Uncle Cangtian, Chuchu wants to see the sword being cultivated too.”
“Fine, follow me to the Sword Cleansing Cave.”
After he spoke, Wen Cangtian brought Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu to the mountain at the back of the manor, circling around a few stone paths before arriving in front of a giant cave entrance.
There were four disciples guarding the entrance of the cave with high quality magical weapons in hand. They were all either in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm or the Sixth Realm.
“This cave is the Sword Cleansing Cave. Looking from a bird’s-eye view, a picture of a fighter cleaning his treasured sword can be seen, hence the name,” Wen Cangtian said.
“There must be a whole other dimension within the cave!” Ye Mo secretly guessed.
“Entering the Sword Cleansing Cave, you will arrive at the Sword Cleansing River first. Do not move around once you are in there. This river was set up by the first generation manor owner of the Sword Whisper Manor, who placed a strong sword formation inside called the Million Ancestral Swords. Even Spirit Devour Realm fighters dared not underestimate it. This was also the reason why many strong fighters have decided against attacking the Sword Whisper Manor. Let us enter!”
Ye Mo followed Wen Cangtian into the Sword Cleansing Cave. As he entered the cave, a giant sword river could be seen. The river contained countless number of treasured swords of different shapes. In front of him was five golden chains which led all the way to the opposite end.
Wen Cangtian stopped walking and said to Ye Mo, “If you want to see how I create a Spirit Weapon, you will have to step on the chains to the other side, the Sword Pool.”
“We can just fly over!” said Yun Chuchu.
“Chuchu, look!”
With a wave of his arm, Wen Cangtian took out a sword from his Dimensional Bracelet. Releasing the sword, it turned into a shadow as it shot towards the other end of the river. However, the Sword Cleansing River suddenly started to make a rumbling noise as countless number of swords all imbued with the aura of the Million Ancestral Swords flew out from the river, stabbing at the sword with an imposing force.
Clank, clank, clank, clank!
The sword, a magical weapon, shattered into pieces following the attack from the countless number of swords, with all the pieces dropping in the river.
“If you fly over, you will definitely be completely shredded by the flying swords!”
