Xu Lai looked at the two pearls in his palm; one was blood-red and the other indigo. If he added the No Righteous Sword to the count…

With a wave of his hand, the No Righteous Sword appeared. The two pearls transformed into streams of light and merged into the blade, creating two constantly swirling points of light on the sword's surface, which was crusted with Cloud Water Rust.
Could the sword be the vessel? If there are eight pearls in total, does that mean six are still lost somewhere out there?
