Chapter 637: Startled Swan Dagger

Crown Prince Mo lowered his head to glance at the little fellow. How was this amazing? In order to select suitable cities for building fortifications of all sizes, Crown Prince Mo could be said to know the entire kingdom, including its remote nooks and crannies, inside out.
Setting down the brush, Qiao Mu neatly folded that piece of paper with the circles before stuffing it into her pocket.
It was only then that she raised her head to look at him. “Do you know what ‘Startled Swan’ means? This ‘Startled Swan’ is the key to activating a secret inheritance realm, and this ‘Startled Swan’ is probably at the place you just said.”
The three sentences she wrote down on the paper earlier was the message that a mysterious female left behind in the jade voice transmission talisman she had used in the incident with Courtesan Zheng.
The message stated: She was able to obtain this jade talisman because fate brought them together, and the same went for the Startled Swan. However, it was unknown whether she was fated to obtain the secret inheritance realm.
“Startled Swan?” Mo Lian chewed it over. “Could it be that Startled Swan Dagger?”
“You know?” Qiao Mu’s eyes brightened, and her curiosity grew.
“Around ten or so years ago, a batch of fairly powerful great spiritual cultivators who came down from Shuntian Prefecture were attacking a female at full strength while in hot pursuit.” Mo Lian browsed through some incomplete ancient texts that he had read before in his mind. “Reportedly, that female’s cultivation was also especially high, probably having even broken through the great spiritual cultivator barrier. However, over here, people’s cultivation will be inhibited without limit to the mystic realm.”
“Then those people from the Shuntian Prefecture won’t be inhibited?” Little Qiaoqiao’s lips compressed together as a concentrated anger roared through her heart for some reason.
Whenever she heard the words “Shuntian Prefecture,” she had the impulse to personally tear them apart!
“They will!” Mo Lian’s voice paused. “However, according to the remaining records, a portion of Shuntian Prefecture’s forces had used some kind of secret technique, which only inhibited their cultivation to the beginning stages of the spiritual realm. So, around the strength of a level-four spiritual cultivator. Shuntian Prefecture and that female senior faced off in a huge battle in the Western Territory.”
“According to many accounts, the Western Wilderness is so desolate and unable to produce vegetation precisely because the battle at that time was that exceptionally brutal. Upwards of ten thousand people attacked that female senior from all sides.”
Qiao Mu felt her blood boil when she heard this! Upwards of ten thousand people! That mysterious female fought a crazy uphill battle with the strength of a single person. How incredibly unbridled and brassy was this move?
Mo Lian’s gaze also revealed a look of commendation. “That senior was incredibly formidable, resisting the attacks of ten thousand people with her inhibited level-15 cultivation. Reportedly, that Startled Swan Dagger had once soared through the sky and disappeared on the ground, setting a 3000-kill record! No spiritual weapon nor even divine weapon is a match for this record.”
It was as if Qiao Mu was listening to a fantasy story. Her face became somewhat flushed, and her small mouth couldn’t resist gaping slightly.
Seeing how cute she was acting, Mo Lian couldn’t resist pinching her small face before saying with a smile, “Additionally, the senior also had a super powerful combat beast, whose robust physique was strong enough to raise mountains and rivers. It looked like a large mouse and had thirteen huge tails, which each had the power to split apart a mountain peak. The people call it the White Emperor Sacred Beast.”
“The lone woman and single beast put up a brave fight. In the end, they unexpectedly killed more than 9000 of Shuntian Prefecture’s men.”
Qiao Mu released a long gasp of admiration.
“The senior was able escape the encirclement in the end, but her whereabouts were unknown after that.” Mo Lian then stretched out his arms to carry the little fellow. “Alright, storytime is over. Now, tell me about the three lines you wrote just now.”
“It was most likely left behind by that senior.” Qiao Mu informed Mo Lian about the jade voice transmission talisman in its entirety.
Mo Lian’s eyes couldn’t help lighting up faintly. “But why would the Startled Swan Dagger be stored away in Shadow Moon Monastery?”
