“What’s going on? This sheath is amazing.”

Ye Mo was taken by surprise. He began seeing the Shadow Demon Sky Blade as a treasure weapon. But without the title “treasure weapon,” it was no different from any ordinary weapon once it was inserted into its sheath.

“This dagger was cultivated by Ying Jun using the Divine Dew and the Million-Year Wumu Gold, which is why it’s able to completely suppress the spiritual powers,” Hong Ling said.

“Divine Dew?” Ye Mo gasped. The Divine Dew was an extremely rare dew, infused with a huge amount of life force. Legend has it that it was like the birth of the deities.

“Junior, come out quickly, your good fortunes have arrived,” Mao Mao said from the outside.

Ye Mo frowned. Opening the door, he saw Mao Mao looking back at him with a weird smile on his face.

“Brother Mao Mao, what’s wrong?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“Stop playing possum with me,” Mao Mao exclaimed. “When did you get to know Nangong Qingxue, the goddess of the Heavenly Dao Palace? Her beauty is recognized across all Six Dao Palaces, and she’s even the eldest daughter of the city master of the City of Desolation. Whoever has the good fortune to marry her is guaranteed a limitless future.”

“Brother Mao Mao, what do you mean?” Ye Mo was still rather confused as to how Nangong Qingxue was being dragged into all of this.

“Nangong Qingxue came to the Asura Dao Palace and specifically asked for you by name,” Mao Mao said.

“She’s looking for me?” Ye Mo was troubled. Had she found out about what had happened between him and her sister? Scratching his head, he asked, “Where is she now?”

“She’s waiting in the big hall, seems extremely anxious,” Mao Mao said. “Hurry over and don’t make the lady wait.”

Nodding his head, Ye Mo walked out of the room. With minimal fuss, he arrived at the big hall, only to see Nangong Qingxue sitting in the middle of it, anxiety written on her face.

The moment she saw Ye Mo, she scurried over to him and said, “Ye Mo, my sister is in trouble.”

“Yurou is in trouble?” Ye Mo’s face changed dramatically as he immediately asked, “What’s going on?”

“No time to explain,” Nangong Qingxue said. “I’ll explain on the way. My father’s doing his best to heal her. Follow me to my house now, my father has some questions for you.”

She grabbed Ye Mo’s hand and the pair left the Asura Dao Palace hurriedly and rushed to the City of Desolation.

In a few brief moments, Ye Mo and Nangong Qingxue arrived at the City of Desolation.

“What is going on exactly?” Ye Mo asked anxiously. The moment he heard that Nangong Yurou was in trouble, his heart filled with trepidation. Even he himself hadn’t realized that Nangong Yurou had already taken up a place in his heart.

“Just as the trails ended, my sister returned to the City of Desolation alone,” Nangong Qingxue said. “Little did she expect a sneak attack from disciples of the Door of Desolation. Had my clan’s people not arrived in the nick of time, she’d be dead already.”

Ye Mo couldn’t help but think about Tian Yimen’s men. To have the gall to publicly attack the daughter of the City of Desolation’s city master, their abilities must be on a different level.

“I bet it was Tian Yimen’s men who attacked.”

The two of them had already reached the main city residence, with no time to wait. Nangong Qingxue brought Ye Mo inside the residence, through the corridors, and into a room.

With the door shut tightly, Nangong Qingxue knocked on it from the outside.

“Is that Qingxue? Come in!” The voice of a man could be heard from inside the room and the room door opened automatically.

Following Nangong Qingxue, Ye Mo entered the room as well.

There were only two people inside – the city master of the City of Desolation, Nangong Wudi, dressed in green city master attire. He stood at one side of the room, staring intensely at the wooden bed, his handsome face clouded with concern.

And the other person was, naturally, Nangong Yurou. With a face as pale as snow, she was lying quietly in bed.

“Father, how is Sister doing?” Nangong Qingxue asked worriedly as she walked into the room.

“Her wounds have stabilized,” Nangong Wudi said. “But her Meridian Nerves have been damaged. If we don’t find suitable medication in time, she could die.” He turned to Ye Mo. “So, you’re the one who finished first place in the Desolate Ancient World trials this yes?”

Ye Mo put his hands together as a sign of respect and faced the man before his eyes with nothing but admiration.

Nangong Wudi gave off an extremely odd feeling – it was likely that he had already exceeded the Transcendence Realm.

“Qingxue, leave us for a moment. I have some matters to discuss with Ye Mo,” Nangong Wudi said.

“Yes, Father.” Nangong Qingxue gave Ye Mo a look before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

After she had left the room, Nangong Wudi remained silent, giving off a weird atmosphere that made Ye Mo slightly uncomfortable.

“I wonder what the City Master wants to discuss with me?” Ye Mo asked respectfully.

“I heard that you and Yurou came out of the Desolate Ancient World together,” Nangong Wudi said. “And when she was wounded, all she kept saying was your name. Tell me, why is that?”

He checked out Ye Mo – he couldn’t understand how a kid in the intermediate stage of the Heaven’s Strength Realm was able to get first place in the Desolate Ancient World Trials.

“Well…” Ye Mo didn’t really know where to begin.

“And while I was healing her injuries, I realized that she had lost her virginity,” Nangong Wudi said. “How do you explain that?”

There was a hint of anger in his voice. As he spoke, rays of spirit attacks swept towards Ye Mo like springs, shaking Ye Mo in and out of his own consciousness.

Ye Mo held his hands together and started to explain, “City Master, Yurou was abducted by Tian Yimen’s men in the Desolate Ancient World. When I arrived to save her, I realized that she was already infected with the Silk Tree Powder. To save Yurou’s life, I had no choice.”

Ye Mo could not bear to continue.

“No choice but to violate her body?” Nangong Wudi let out a cold grunt and said, “Tian Yimen’s men are getting more and more arrogant. How dare they attack my daughter?”

“City Master, how is Yurou doing now?” Ye Mo asked. “There’s no point in us continuing to bicker. Let’s prioritize treating Yurou.”

“Do you think you can have anything to contribute?” Nangong Wudi lamented. “I’ve already done everything I can.”

“I was wondering if I could have a go at it?” Ye Mo said, head lowered.

“You?” Nangong Wudi looked unconvinced. “Yurou’s Meridian Nerves have all been damaged and broken, her Energy Center shattered into pieces. If I hadn’t used a hint of my Xuan Aura to steady her pulse, she’s be dead already. If even I don’t know what else to do, what can you do?”

But the young man before his eyes was something special, ultimately finishing in first place in the trials. Able to make his daughter recite his name when in danger… this man definitely had something unique about him.

But no matter how gifted he was, it didn’t mean he’d be able to heal someone as wounded and Nangong Yurou.
