My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

84  Chapter 84: The Famous Sword of the Former Dynasty, Ye Tai'e

Outside Yu State City, at the foot of Three Temple Mountain.

Han Wenxin pointed to the mountain, smiled, and said, "The scenery of Three Temple Mountain is quite remarkable, especially the Bright Moon Pavilion on the north peak. At night, one can see the entire night scene of Yu State City. I wonder if Miss Dai would be interested?"

Throughout the journey, Han Wenxin had been talking nonstop, introducing everything along the way.

Fa Wu watched this scene, somewhat puzzled as to why Han Wenxin was so persistent. Could it be that the arrest officer was trying to scheme for the young lady's silver?

If Han Wenxin knew what Fa Wu was thinking, he would feel wronged. Was he scheming for silver? What kind of person did they take him, Han Wenxin, for?

Dai Ling shook her head, her expression cold and indifferent.

Tian Cansou could no longer hold back and said, "Arrest Officer Han, we might need to stay at Fa Xi Temple for a few days, so you don't need to see us off."

Fa Zhi stood by with his hands clasped together, not saying a word.

Han Wenxin waved his hand, smiled, and said, "No worries. I'm responsible for the night patrol and curfew tonight. Since we've met by fate, let me accompany you a bit longer."

Tian Cansou frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.

"Arrest officer Han, come here, I have something to tell you."

Dai Ling called to Han Wenxin, then walked towards a distant tree.

"Alright, I'm coming."

Seeing this, Han Wenxin quickly followed.

Under the hazy moonlight, shadows of trees swayed eerily.

Dai Ling stood in the moonlight, graceful and enchanting, like a fairy.

The thought of being able to embrace such a beauty made Han Wenxin's heart skip wildly. Zhou Xianming, oh Zhou Xianming, when you return and see me embracing such a beauty, I wonder what you old fellow would think.

With that thought, a smile involuntarily formed on his lips.

Dai Ling said indifferently, "Arrest Officer Han, do you have improper thoughts about me?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing this, Han Wenxin's heart leapt with joy. He hadn't expected Dai Ling to be so forthright and get straight to the point. He immediately replied, "Miss Dai, my feelings for you are sincere. My father is the retired arrest officer, we have two ancestral homes on Tianxiang Street and two shops in Chunxi Square, and thirty acres of land..."

Before An Jing was married, matchmaker Wang would go to his house every day to propose matches, almost wearing out his doorstep.

In his view, if he just showed a bit of skill, this beauty would be easily within his grasp. This was how he always succeeded in the brothels.

After all, Han Wenxin believed that he was no worse than his half-brothers and sisters.

Unfortunately, An Jing did not know Han Wenxin's true intentions; otherwise, he would certainly have scoffed in disdain.

One was soliciting, the other was soliciting without spending a penny—two fundamentally different realms.

"No need to say more; we're not suitable."

Dai Ling cut off what Han Wenxin was saying.

"Not... suitable?" Han Wenxin, as if he had heard wrong, stammered, "Miss.... Miss Dai..."

"You are good, but you deserve better, not someone like me who is the best."

With those words, Dai Ling left, leaving Han Wenxin with a stunned expression.

.......

Fa Xi Temple, side room.

The candlelight was faint but shimmering.

"Uncle, the sword intent today must have been caused by the legendary Evil Suppressing Sword, right?"

Dai Ling whispered as she poured two cups of tea.

Tian Cansou took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yes, the only thing in Yu State City that could cause such a spectacle today is Ye Tai'e."

"Ye Tai'e?" Dai Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.

She knew of the Evil Suppressing Sword, but she was not familiar with Ye Tai'e.

"The Evil Suppressing Sword is Ye Tai'e."

Tian Cansou nodded and sighed, "This sword was forged by the seventh generation Human Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, named Ye Tai'e. It is rumored to be made from Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Iron, weighing three thousand pounds, folded and reforged a hundred times, and then mixed with copper mother ore. Finally, all essence was depleted, and it was quenched in the flames of the Volcano with the Endless Flame. At that time, Great Zhou gathered all skilled craftsmen and took fifty years to finish. The sword is bloodthirsty and consumes the essence blood of the Sword Masters each time it was forged, resulting in the deaths of over three hundred swordsmiths."

"Such a massive expenditure of manpower, resources, and emotional energy, yet the sword was still not successfully forged. Ultimately, the seventh generation Human Emperor had to give up its crafting, and Ye Tai'e lay dormant under the Volcano for hundreds of years, until the ninth generation Emperor of Great Zhou explored the volcano to discover that Ye Tai'e had started to reveal its edge, floating in midair above the volcano."

"It is said that when the ninth generation Human Emperor grasped Ye Tai'e, the sword began to consume his essence blood and was thus brought into the world. On the day Ye Tai'e appeared, dark clouds filled the sky, thunder and lightning fell, and anomalous phenomena occurred everywhere. Within thousands of miles, all swords quivered and trembled, shaking people's hearts. However, the essence blood of that ninth generation Emperor was drained, and he died as a result. Afterward, the experts from the Royal Family of Great Zhou tried to subdue the sword but were all drained of their essence blood, unable to conquer the sword. Finally, they split the sword into six pieces to use as a sealing artifact for the Earth Veins."

"Thus, the sword is named Ye Tai'e, also known as the Evil Suppressing Sword. To this day, no one has been able to subdue it."

Dai Ling furrowed her brows, "I see, the sword intent I felt today seemed to have some specific target."

"It is indeed strange, the seal is damaged, and the sword may also emerge into the world."

Tian Cansou's face grew stern, his eyes carrying a hint of fear, "But remember, this is a demonic object, and should not be touched."

The Five Poison Sect is a branch of the Demon Sect with profound heritage. They have some understanding of these ancient records and are naturally aware of the terror of Ye Tai'e.

Even if the Emperors of Great Zhou were not the absolute top masters of their times, they still ranked within the top five, and the ninth generation Emperor even possessed the peak strength of a Grandmaster, just one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster.

Yet, even so, the ninth Emperor still died by having his essence blood consumed by Ye Tai'e, which speaks volumes about the ferocity of the sword.

"I understand."

Dai Ling nodded her head and took a deep breath, "Our only goal is to obtain the suppressed nature's spiritual energy."

Their purpose in coming here was not for the sword, but for the spiritual energy sealed beneath the earth.

Tian Cansou nodded, "Exactly, just by obtaining that strand of spiritual energy, your cultivation could directly reach First Grade, and you might even reach the stage of forming the Human Flower. With your innate talent and age, your chances of reaching the realm of Grandmaster will also be greatly increased."

Dai Ling nodded emphatically, her voice laced with concern, "My worry now is how we would handle the multitude of masters drawn here by tonight's surge of sword intent."

Tonight, the surge of Ye Tai'e's sword intent has caused such a tremor, undoubtedly attracting attention from various quarters. Originally intending to quietly take away the spiritual energy, it now seemed much more difficult.

Tian Cansou smiled, "Don't worry, the Buddha statue was broken by Li Fuzhou, and the seal is already mostly broken. In three days, the seal will break entirely, and the spiritual energy will disperse overnight. Anyone thinking they can reach Yu State City in that time is merely dreaming."
