Chapter Eight Hundred and One – The Little Tenth Grade

Tenth Grade's sneak attack was stopped and the little Tenth Grade immediately howled as he charged towards Zhen Ling Meng!

Killing energy swirled in the wind, the mist rippling. Tenth Grade was like a tiny black shadow that flickered in and out of view through the mist. The little crescents were like thousands of bolts of lightning. They rained down on Zhen Ling Meng from all directions.

Sword essence filled the air!

Killing energy boiled!

The sword energies were black bolts of lightning. Sword essence spread. An invisible force wrapped around Zhen Ling Meng like thousands of spiderwebs.

Zhen Ling Meng jumped in fright at being suddenly attacked. If she didn't have a treasure of the sect protecting her, she would have been injured. The Bagua Heart Protection Mirror that her Master had given her now had a crack on the border.

Zhen Ling Meng was both shocked and angry. She was protected by the elders and shixiong in the sect. Anyone that saw her would yield to her. When had she lost face like this? The talisman that Master had given her had followed her for many years. She treasured it. It was now damaged!

She was strong to begin with. Angered, she used her killing move without any hesitation.

A cold sword energy cut across the mist like lightning to head towards the sword net made from Tenth Grade's crescent blade!

Ding!

A clear sound rang out of the entire battlefield.

She felt a vicious power pass through the flying sword. Zhen Ling Meng felt the energies inside her roil and instinctively took two steps back.

Tenth Grade's little body was thrown into the air.

Such strong sword essence!

Zhen Ling Meng was alarmed. It was the first time she encountered such a vicious sword essence. Also, the other's skill on sword essence matched her.

Was this Wei Sheng?

This thought flashed through Zhen Ling Meng's mind. She only knew of one person from Mo Cloud Sea that had such skill in sword essence, Wei Sheng!

The rumors said that Wei Sheng wielded a blood-red sword. His sword essence was vicious and bloodthirsty. She felt that she had guessed correctly.

However, her mind quickly calmed down. While the other had not put all of his power into that attack, she had also been reserved in her response. While she was surprised by the viciousness of the other's sword essence, she would not be surprised if it was Wei Sheng.

As the strongest fighter of Mo Cloud Sea, Wei Sheng was no longer that unknown youth from the past, but an unorthodox top expert that was pointing a sword at the holy land for the sword xiu.

Even the Kun Lun geniuses with their eyes on the top of their heads put away their pride when they faced Wei Sheng.

Zhen Ling Meng quickly calmed down. She swung her sword. In a blink, twelve sword essences formed a twelve-layer barrier in front of her!

Knowing that the enemy could possibly be Wei Sheng, she wisely chose to go on the defensive.

Wei Sheng's reputation could be seen from this!

The twelve sword energies cross crossed. The sword essence that they gave off made them form a secure article. Anything that came near would be torn into pieces by countless sword energies. Even the mist was not an exception.

All the mist within ten zhang disappeared.

The Ghost Mist Child snorted and was displeased inside. However, he did not attack. It had been a long time since he had participated in the world, but he had been a friendly and understanding henchman. He knew that he was the new person and the right thing to do was to get on good terms with the other brothers.

Tenth Grade had a proud personality. It would not be good if he interfered.

As expected, a furious howl came from the sky. Vicious and savage killing essence roared and echoed like lightning.

Being thrown into the sky to the proud Tenth Grade was undoubtedly an embarrassment.

He felt as though there was a burning flame inside. His black robes moved despite the lack of wind. His hands were raised high above his head. The crescent blade seemed to be attracted and flew into his raised hands.

A tinge of dark red suddenly came onto the crescent blade.

Like an incomplete moon drinking blood!

Tenth Grade's hairs stood on end. His proud and cold little face was murderous.

From the moment he was born, his greatest wish was to become the strongest ling beast and not fail the name of Tenth Grade.

Yet after seeing Wei Sheng's strength, Zuo Mo's dominance, A Gui's eeriness, Silly Bird's brutality, Zong Ru's unfathomableness, and Luo Li's intangibility, this guy's eyes looked even higher.

This little body was full of ambition!

He was Tenth Grade!

He was born to be at the top, how could he be mediocre?

The mist below was dissipated by Zhen Ming Ling's sword essence. Her field of view broadened and the layers of sword energy flashed with beautiful light.

Tenth Grade threw down a disdainful look.

The fighting spirit inside burned and roiled. Tenth Grade showed his innate desire to fight.

Come!

Face Tenth Grade's ultimate move!

Tenth Grade's eyes suddenly burning, his power rippling. His still proud face carried disdain that came from his bones. His arms suddenly pressed down.

The dark red crescent suddenly shot down.

Behind the crescent, the bloody afterimages were like silk. Countless vicious shadows flashed. They constantly changed, moving and turning, forming and disappearing!

A peerlessly vicious presence came with an ear-piercing howl like the wails of thousand of ghost that caused people's minds to shake.

The blood color of the crescent blade became even deeper and the bloody shadows behind were even redder.

Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword!

There was no madness on Tenth Grade's little face. He was still as cold and proud as usual.

He did not know that his expression right now was unconsciously mimicking his idol, Wei Sheng Daren.

This sword scripture that Wei Sheng had picked for him was matched to his taste. He liked to fight, and this sword scripture was full of killing intent. He was Teacher Wei's fan. Whatever Teacher Wei said was right. From the start, he found that it was unusually enjoyable to cultivate this sword scripture.

But he quickly found a new target.

In his eyes, Teacher Wei was the strongest sword xiu in the world.

Every time Tenth Grade went close to the God-Killing Blood Sword, his blood would uncontrollably boil, and he would feel the thirst for blood. However, Teacher Wei would seem unaffected. Such a vicious God-Killing Blood Sword was docile in his hands.

Teacher Wei's heart was stronger than the strongest steel!

He revered Teacher Wei.

Correspondingly, his demands of himself increased. Even the God-Killing Blood Sword could not shake Teacher Wei's mind. Then how could he let the measly Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword shake his mind?

He started to copy Teacher Wei and tried to keep his mind unaffected by the sword essence.

So this presence scene appeared. The crescent sword essence cross the air, the sharp sword essence like a wild beast out of the cage. However, Tenth Grade's face was as cold and proud as usual.

Yet the sword essence was so strong it reached an unprecedented level!

———

They had almost fallen for a trap. Tan Xu was both shocked and angry. He had a habit when he cultivated that no one knew of. He would always split a part of his mind to prepare for a battle no matter what the time was. This was because the first time that he had gone a mission, he had almost died from carelessness.

From then on, he had persisted in this cultivation habit.

Today, this habit saved his life again.

A small hole appeared on his shen equipment. The shen power that protected his body had all been dissipated by the attack. If it wasn't for the shen equipment, his body would have a big bloody hole right now.

Escaping the danger, Tan Xu immediately became enraged, especially when he saw the one that had attacked him was a ling beast. Tan Xu became furious. "Such a daring bastard!"

With a crimson red flying sword in his hand, he flew towards Silly Bird like a flame.

Hearing the word "bastard," the feathers on Silly Bird's forehead suddenly exploded and stood on end. Her usually proud and imperious eyes immediately filled with blood and became vicious and savage.

When had Silly Bird ever been cursed like this?

Facing the flame, she pecked again!

This peck was unlike the one before. There seemed to be countless sparks that exploded at the tip of the beak. Every spark was the size of a grain of sand. These sparks did not fly in all directions but formed a spiraling pattern around the bird bead.

A hint of imperceptible smugness flashed through Tan Xu's eyes.

The fire that he had thrown out appeared normal but was dangerous. It was not fire, but something that appeared like fire made from pure sword essence.

His attack was extremely deceptive and many had fallen to this.

When he saw Silly Bird facing his sword essence "flame" and pecked, Tan Xu couldn't help but show some smugness in his eyes at the success of his plan.

As expected, in the moment they came into contact, that thread of fire suddenly exploded!

Vrroom!

Countless sword essences exploded and swallowed up Silly Bird.

This seemingly normal "fire" contained three thousand and sixty sword energies that were extremely fine. When they were connected by the sword essence, they formed a flame.

The sight of three thousand and sixty sword energies exploding at once was spectacular!

The burning light caused people to close their eyes. The mist within dozens of zhang was swept away. A hair-raising rattle of the sounds of collision came from the burning ball of light.

Tan Xu's smugness was on display as he snorted, "Just a feathered bastard dares to attack ye, it doesn't want to live! Ye will let you taste what it means to be a plucked phoenix!"

These three thousand and six hundred sword energies contained countless variations. Once an enemy was trapped inside, they never managed to come out.

It was an ultimate killing move!

[Sword Flame]!

Even when he fought against other shixiong on Kun Lun, whenever he used this killing move, all the shixiong would avoid this and no one would ever take on this move head on.

Who was so confident they would escape unscathered from three thousand and six hundred sword energies?

Wasn't it easy to use a killing move that even the other Children of Kun lun feared to deal with a feathered bastard?

Tan Xu looked around warily. At this time, he did not want someone else to sneak an attack on him.

What he didn't know was that the Black Gold Seal Soldier and Sunshine within the mist were looking with pity at him.

"He's dead." The Black Gold Seal Soldier shook his head and sighed.

"No." Sunshine shook his head. That sunny face was full of pity. "It is not so easy for one who has offended Big Sister Bird to die."

Big Sister Bird was angry. The consequences were horrifying.

The sword energies dissipated.

And revealed a proud and magnificent bird.

Her feathers were slightly ruffled. Her narrowed eyes were not as angry as before, but they could easily caused people to feel that her anger had reached a peak.

There was a short suffocating calm like the one before a storm.

Translator Ramblings: Big Sister Bird ... ... I cannot stop think of Big Bird.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Two – Zuo Mo's Heart

Seeing the sun thorns miss, Zuo Mo was shocked but reacted quickly. He advanced instead of retreating, and swung the Sun Shen Axe in his hand at the enemy!

His speed was lightning fast.

Nie Chen just saw a blur and golden energies suddenly flashed in front of him.

At this time, Nie Chen was in a wondrous state, and his reaction was fast. His right hand beckoned and the flying sword pointed at Zuo Mo's waist like a snake.

This move bet on the fact the other would have to save himself!

The Sun Shen Axe's sharp edge was almost at his face but Nie Chen's face was calm and his crystal-like eyes did not flicker at all.

It was a long time since Zuo Mo had encountered such a troublesome opponent. The other's move was vicious. If he cut the other in half, then the other's sword energy would slice through his waist.

He immediately blocked with the shen axe in his right hand.

Dong!

An enormous sound and then the sparks flew!

Zuo Mo and Nie Chen both retreated at the same time.

Nie Chen finally showed shock. The other's strength was so strong it almost surpassed his imagination. But what shocked his even more was that he guessed the other's identity.

"I had not expected to encounter the Master of Mo Cloud Sea here."

Nie Chen stared at Zuo Mo and said slowly. His mind was in disarray. He had never thought that he would have an opportunity to fight against Zuo Mo! If it wasn't for the other's unique sun shen power, Nie Chen would definitely never have guessed it.

Mo Cloud Sea's territories were not large, but no one dared to underestimate their power. Zuo Mo was presently of high status. Nie Chen found it hard to believe that he would explore a ruin personally.

Yet what shocked him even more was Zuo Mo's strength.

It had long not been a secret that Zuo Mo cultivated sun shen power.

Yet when people listed the many experts of Mo Cloud Sea, they would, for some reason, exclude Zuo Mo.

In everyone's view, how could Zuo Mo, now the master of Mo Cloud Sea, fight on the front lines like in the past?

When people judged Zuo Mo, it was usually along the lines of a natural leader, the brain of Mo Cloud Sea.

His talent in seal scripts and mo matrices shocked the world. He had caused Mo Cloud Sea to become a rival for Tian Huan in seal formations and talismans. His unique inscription art could allow xiuzhe to possess the great power of mo matrices. His bloodline-awakening technique caused countless mo experts to be created under his command. Mo physiques were common in the present Mo Cloud Sea. He had forged the first pseudo-shen weapon, and created the concept of shen device raiments, a unique shen device that had never appeared before. Just as everyone had been trying to forge shen device raiments, he forged the first battle general shen device raiment.

He was a person had to grasp. He was filled with the greediness and worldliness of the common folk. Many times, people would feel that he was just a minor character. Yet he possessed astounding charisma and countless geniuses loyally followed him.

Under so many halos, his individual strength was not so eye-catching.

But ... ...

Having just experienced it personally, Nie Chen was astounded.

He suddenly thought of a person that was so similar to Zuo Mo.

Eldest Shixiong, Lin Qian!

No, now present sect leader Lin Qian!

Lin Qian who also possessed talent in all fields, Lin Qian who as also individual strong, was so similar to Zuo Mo!

Nie Chen unconsciously shook his head. How could this guy compare to the talented eldest shixiong?

He focused and threw out the stray thoughts. The shock disappeared. His mind returned to calmness. His eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly realized that this was a chance from the heavens!

In front of him was the master of Mo Cloud Sea!

If he killed Zuo Mo, Mo Cloud Sea would end up a headless snake. For Kun Lun, this meant that they would be relieved of a great worry!

His gaze became hot. Strong belief filled his heart. His flying sword seemed to feel his thoughts and secretly flew back into his hand.

He gripped the flying sword and shouted inside

–Kun Lun!

———

Zuo Mo was slightly surprised. The guy in front of him suddenly seemed to be burning, all of his power being released!

He was burning without any consideration for the consequences!

In a blink, Zuo Mo understood the other's intentions. He couldn't help but feel some respect. Among all the opponents that he had experienced, Kun Lun was the most troublesome and the strongest!

These fanatics were a group of madmen!

Zuo Mo's expression was solemn, his killing intent undisguised. He thought of the sect leader, thought of the shishu. Pain spread through his heart and his murderousness increased. Everything about the Zuo family past seemed to be scenes he saw through a veil of mist, he always lacked an emotional connection to them.

Except for A Gui.

Yet to him, the years at Wu Kong Sword Sect had been real and he had truly lived them. The care that the sect leader and the shishu had given him flashed in front of his eyes. Those lively figures, those seemingly stern but concerned scolds would never appear again!

Yes, Kun Lun was worthy of respect!

But so what!

When they caused the deaths of the sect leaders and the others, the grudge had been set. No matter if it was him, Eldest Shixiong or Luo Li, there was only one path with Kun Lun, fight to the death!

Destroying Kun Lun was his fate!

The killing intent in Zuo Mo's body had never been so strong. He finally understood why he never liked Kun Lun, even without the incident of Wu Kong Sword Sect.

Because this Kun Lun that was so worthy of respect, they only had Kun Lun on their minds!

Even in the past, as the head of the xiuzhe, Kun Lun only thought of Kun Lun. Everything else in their eyes were ants. They would be sacrificed, and wounded. Their so-called Kun Lun was only that little group of core Kun Lun disciples on Kun Lun Mountain. For Kun Lun, they could sacrifice their familial feelings, they could sacrifice everything.

They were a group of madmen!

This was a group of madmen, prejudiced madmen that had sank into their glory.

Suddenly, Zuo Mo felt that this Kun Lun was not worthy of being feared.

His gaze suddenly became cold. The fury just now disappeared. An enormous dragon claw appeared in his hand.

Anti Dragon Claw!

The infamous sky mo weapon that had dominated the world was being held in Zuo Mo's hand and pointed at Nie Chen.

A peerlessly vicious presence slammed in all directions.

The Anti Dragon Claw that had been revitalized, once again recovering the aura of its past and showed its glorious appearance.

It did not have the vast presence of the shen device raiments yet the unique vicious and cruel presence of the Anti Dragon Claw still made it an astounding weapon.

Zuo Mo had thought about reforging the Anti Dragon Claw but he found that the energies of the Anti Dragon Claw were melded together and the difficulty of a re-forge would be great.

The Anti Dragon Claw was still one of the strongest weapons outside of shen deivces.

Zuo Mo did not choose the Green Pulse String but the Anti Dragon Claw because only it suited the killing intent he felt now.

Nie Chen did not retreat, his gaze burning and mad!

The rebellious Anti Dragon Claw was unusually obedient in Zuo Mo's hands.

The present Zuo Mo was far from the Zuo Mo of the past.

His shen power rippling, Zuo Mo held the leg bone of the Anti Dragon Claw. His body suddenly gave off great golden light. He was like the sun, unable to be looked at directly.

For the first time in several years, Zuo Mo burned his shen power without any reservation!

No one knew how strong his shen power was now.

People only saw him going to Golden Crow Camp and managing the affairs of Mo Cloud Sea. No one knew that his daily cultivation had never stopped.

His right hand could constantly provide shen power to him.

The growth of his shen power was almost unimaginable.

He refined his shen technique again and again. He studied the various skills recorded on the sun gold leaf. He knew how his present accomplishments had come about. He treasured this. He knew that he was not a genius, and if he wanted to get in front of others, he could only work harder than others.

No one knew that the sweat and effort he put in surpassed normal people.

Under that laughing and cursing face, he had powerful heart.

———

Big Sister Bird was very angry. The consequences would be serious. For the little ones, this was an absolute rule. While Big Sister Bird seemed to be sleeping everyday as though this would continue to the end of time, that undefeatable dominance still showed from her great sleeping posture.

As the big sister of the little ones, Big Sister Bird was magnificent. While the other little ones were trying to gain favor with Zuo Mo, Silly Bird had seen Little Mo Ge's nouveau-riche behaviour numerous times.

One needed qualifications to be proud.

But what made the little ones really respect her was Silly Bird's conduct.

Domineering, direct, Big Sister Bird never talked reason, only with strength.

Even a person as proud as Tenth Grade would docilely go up and fawn in front of Big Sister Bird.

But right now, Big Sister Bird's authority had been challenged.

A feathered bastard!

Killing intent formed a storm in Silly Bird's narrowed eyes. Raising her head, Silly Bird thought back. How many years had it been since she had encountered such an idiot.

Silly Bird focused on her reminiscing and didn't even look at the gaping Tan Xu.

Time was really a butcher's knife!

In the past, I was still at a pure, and tender age ... ...

Feathered bastard!

Silly Bird's eyes twitched. Her reminiscing was interrupted by the words. Almost tangible killing energy shrouded her body like mist.

For some reason, Tan Xu suddenly had a feeling that the other's figure seemed to grow much bigger and looked down on him.

Shrouded in the shadows, the face could not be seen. Only a pair of bloody red eyes lit up in the dark.

An enormous pressure rushed at him and he felt his breathing stop.

Unconsciously, cold sweat soaked his back. Blinking, he forcefully shook his head and the illusion in front of him disappeared.

As expected, it was an illusion!

For some reason, he sighed in relief. He couldn't help but mock himself. It seemed that he was too nervous. Was it because it as the first time he encountered such a powerful ling beast?

Then he felt ashamed for his timidity. He actually felt afraid of a feathered bastard, it was laughable!

So laughable!

What he did not notice was that spiraling flame mark on Silly Bird's beak had not disappeared.

Translator Ramblings: Silly Bird does not like getting interrupted.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Three – Solitary Dance of the Great Dark Wheel Phoenix

Silly Bird's wings spread wide, her figure disappearing. In the next moment, she appeared in front of Tan Xu.

So fast!

Tan Xu's pupils contracted, the air in front of him twisting as a red shadow charged towards him with a thunderous presence.

The bird beak suddenly released a dot of fire.

A strong feeling of danger suddenly rose.

Tan Xu's expression changed slightly. Without any hesitation, the flying sword in his hand shot out a ball of fire. Like lightning, it headed towards that incoming foreboding flame.

Unlike before, the sword flame right now was dark red.

[Sword Flame Death]!

The tip of the flying sword seemed to be ignited. A streak of flame headed for Silly Bird's beak.

The two dots of fire collided in the air.

The dark red flame suddenly exploded. One hundred and twenty sword energies instantly exploded.

The [Sword Flame Death] was the upgraded version of the [Sword Flame]. It compressed three thousand and six hundred sword energies into one hundred and twenty. Each Sword Flame Death energy was made from thirty sword energies!

Every sword energy of the Sword Flame Death was deadly!

After being compressed, the sword energies of the Sword Flame Death were a dark red and rippled with sword essence.

"Die! Feathered bastard!" Tan Xu roared with laugher.

This killing move was astounding in power, and also astoundingly difficult. With his present strength, he was not able to successfully complete [Sword Flame Death] every time. The joy in his heart at being able to successfully execute it at such a critical moment could be imagined.

Die!

Looking at the dark red sword essences exploding on Silly Bird's beak, he knew he won!

No one was able to stop this move!

Feeling reassured, Tan Xu looked on with anticipation. One hundred and twenty sword energies of the Sword Death Flame would tear apart this horrid feathered bastard.

Everything was finished!

Suddenly, he saw a swirling pattern suddenly light up on Silly Bird's beak. His heart couldn't help but jump. Wait ... ...

Boom!

The flame mark exploded and turned into a pillar of fire that headed straight towards him.

The blinding fire shot into the air. All of the dark red sword essences were immediately swallowed by the erupting flame.

Tan Xu's mind was blank. All he could see were red flames that were twisting and turning.

Before he could react, he was swallowed by the spiralling tower of flame.

Damn it!

Tan Xu shook. He was trapped in a world of fire. If he didn't have shen power protecting him, he would have been burnt to ash long ago. However, even with the support of shen power, he was not safe. His shen power was being expended at an astounding rate. This kind of red flame was unusually hot. Even through the barrier of shen power, he could feel the astounding heat.

A thread of fire rose.

What kind of flame was this?

How could it consume his Sword Flame Death's sword energies?

That was impossible!

His mind was a complete mess but he knew that this was not the time to consider this. He had to first flee for his life. Tan Xu's urge to fight disappeared. There was only one thought in his mind. Flee, flee as fast as possible!

Was this feathered bastard an ancient beast?

The flame that had erupted without warning was something that even the sword energies of the Sword Flame Death could not avoid. What was this bird?

The Ghost Mist Child's originally snowy-white face paled even more as his little heart shook.

Lucky ... ... lucky ... ...

He had seen how Silly Bird had spat out a wave of angry red flames that had consumed the other's sword essence and body. As an ancient warrior, the Ghost Mist Child had seen people spit out flames countless times before. So why was he so shocked?

The Ghost Mist Child was knowledgeable. This completely red flame looked ordinary but it had great origins!

Phoenix Flame!

He had guess before that Silly Bird was a phoenix and now he was even more sure. The Phoenix Flame was unlike any other flame. Its attributes were unique. Even in the ancient era, the Phoenix Flame was something that would cause people to pale upon hearing the name.

More importantly, this was his natural enemy!

So scary!

He was actually on the same side as his bane. Thinking about his future days, the Ghost Mist Child suddenly felt that life was not as good as he imagined.

Silly Bird detected that Tan Xu, trapped in the flame, wanted to escape. Her magnificent eyes became half-lidded as her spread wings lightly flapped.

If other people were watching as bystanders, they would feel that the flapping of the wings was nonchalant and careless. Yet the Ghost Mist Child who had been paying attention all this time watched closely.

Rhythm!

Silly Bird's wings were flapping at an indescribably unique rhythm.

This was definitely some powerful shen methodology!

When it affected his own situation, the Ghost Mist child watched closely. Silly Bird seemed to just have flapped her wings a few times but in reality, her feet had imperceptibly moved position a few times.

When people reached this level, any seemingly normal movement would contain mysteries.

The Ghost Mist Child thought hard to search his distant memories. He seemed to think of something.

The flames were like a cage. No matter how Tan Xu charged and fought, he could not break out of the flames. An invisible field of force spread as Silly Bird flapped her wings and moved her feet.

Tan Xu's sweat dripped from his head as he panicked.

Red flames were all around him. He seemed to be situated in an endless sea of fire. No matter which direction he charged in, the flames seemed to be extend without end.

This was strange!

There was something going on!

He knew that he was definitely in the enemy's trap. That ball of flame had definitely been a trap!

No matter how he channeled shen power, his sword scriptures would enter into the flames and disappear.

His shen power was being used up at an astounding rate. If this continued, he would soon be unable to hold up.

Without the protection of shen power, the flames would burn him to ashes.

Was he going to die today?

Strangely, this thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but still.

Silly Bird with her half-lidded eyes moved in small steps like that of an old lady out on an after meal stroll. She would occasionally wave her wings a few times nonchalantly.

The bright red flames twisted and moved like a monster. Anyone who watched it felt fear.

The Black Gold Seal Soldier swallowed and said hoarsely, "Is this the [Solitary Dance of the Great Dark Wheel Phoenix]?"

He knew that if he was within this ball of flame, he would have been melted into liquid. He really could not offend Big Sister Bird! The clever Black Gold Seal Soldier wondered if he should give up more food as tribute to gain favor with Big Sister Bird.

Sunshine sighed and said sympathetically, "So pitiful."

The Phoenix Flame was just a little more than a zhang in diameter, yet no matter how Tan Xu fought, he could not escape.

Too scary!

———

With the Anti Dragon Claw in his hand, the killing intent inside Zuo Mo exploded as though the flames were fanned by wind.

Zuo Mo's eyes flashed coldly. Gripping the Anti Dragon Claw with one hand, he leapt into the air and swung downwards at Nie Chen as though he was holding a large axe. A suddenly layer of golden light appeared on the Anti Dragon Claw and the enormous axe of light formed from the tips of the Anti Dragon Claw.

In a blink, the sun shen axe turned from a one-handed axe into a two-handed axe.

The axe was thousands of catties heavy!

Everyone heard the piercing howl. The Anti Dragon Claw was a vicious item to start with, and after being fed with shen power, it was peerless in its viciousness. The wind it created, as it cut through the air, was like the howling of ten thousand ghosts. Even the sky started to darken.

The ghost mist in the surroundings melted like snow in hot water.

Shen power and killing intent mixed inside. Zuo Mo threw all of his strength behind this blow!

Nie Chen's expression changed but then he recovered his calm. This blow was the perfect melding of dominance and killing intent. The world changed. It was just one axe but it seemed to take over the entire sky.

Suddenly, Nie Chen seemed to see a mountainous and ancient hero towering over the world.

Under this axe, all shook!

It was the first time he felt he was as minuscule and insignificant as an ant.

But he was a mentally strong person. His mind shook but then recovered.

In front of such a peerless blow, Nie Chan's pride was stimulated. The flying sword in his hand suddenly lit up with dazzling light. An astounding amount of shen power was channeled in. The flying sword was unable to tolerate it and started to melt on the surface. The seal scriptures were being damaged.

But he did not seem to mind it. His expression was solemn as he looked at the astounding blow.

The flying sword quickly turned into liquid metal but, for the moment, it stilled maintained the shape of a flying sword. Blinding light quickly dimmed. Nie Chen gripped the long rod of liquefying metal.

Nie Chen's eyes were wide in anger as he shouted.

"For Kun Lun!'

The liquid metal in his hand hummed and shook. Like a bolt of lightning, it shot out upwards!

Hearing the words [Kun Lun, the anger in Zuo Mo's heart suddenly erupted. Unprecedented killing intent and anger immediately swallowed him like an erupting volcano.

Every fibre of muscle was shaking, every hair standing on end. Zuo Mo felt as though there was a raging fire inside his body.

Those scenes that he would never see again appeared in fragments through his mind. Wu Kong Mountain, Sect Leader, Shishu, Shidi, Shimei ... ...

Zuo Mo felt as though there was a stone on his heart.

In the end, this kind of discomfort reached a threshold. All of the anger and killing intent rushed through the threshold and erupted.

"[Kun your mom!]"

A furious bellow thundered out. He did not notice that tears were streaming off his face.

The berserk Zuo Mo was like a god.

"Not good!" The Ghost Mist Child exclaimed as he paled.

Blinding light suddenly lit up in the sky. The energies were like rain droplets that hit Zuo Mo's body.

Jinzhi! The Totem Coliseum's jinzhi were activated!

The Ghost Mist Child paled and went to leap towards Zuo Mo in the sky with the intentions of blocking the jinzhi for Zuo Mo!

Daren actually ... ... actually was strong enough to activate the jinzhi of the Totem Coliseum ... ...

The stunned Ghost Mist Child's pupils suddenly contracted and his body froze where he stood!

The energies hit Zuo Mo's body but Zuo Mo did not seem to feel it. The light coming off his body suddenly grew and formed a ball of light multiple times bigger than Zuo Mo!

How was ... ... it possible!

The Ghost Mist Child gaped, his mind blank.

More lights appeared in the sky as though stars were being ignited. The light energies rained down on Zuo Mo in the sky from all directions.

The berserk Zuo Mo did not feel it. He glared, his face twisted, every muscle tensed!

An enormous ball of light covered him. Lightning flashed, fire burned, and ice cut within the ball of light ... ...

In the ball of light, the Anti Dragon Claw was so excited it shook!

In the sky, there was only this figure!

In everyone's eyes, there was only this shadow!

The shuddering howls of the Anti Dragon Claw could be heard through the entire battlefield. With the terrifying and vast power of the enormous ball of light, Zuo Mo rushed down at an astounding speed!

Crashing down!

The trembling power spread, and the ground of the entire Totem Coliseum uncontrollably vibrated.

Like an enraged ancient beast, Zuo Mo was like a god descending to earth with a vicious and domineering presence conquering all around!

The axe swung down!

Translator Ramblings: I didn't realize it until now but Fang Xiang didn't do anything with personality types and elements. The typical hot-headed fire user and the icy aloof ice user etc etc didn't really appear in this story.

Also, anyone have suggestions for cheap headphones that block out office noise?

Chapter Eight Hundred and Four – Victory

Nie Chen was stunned dumb by the terrifying figure in his sight!

Suddenly, he understood why Eldest Shixiong Lin Qian had always said that Mo Cloud Sea would become their greatest enemy! Everyone in Kun Lun had disagreed. Everyone had not said anything, and they had simply dismissed the words.

Based on what?

With what could Mo Cloud Sea rival Kun Lun? How could that poor and rural sect challenge they who were geniuses?

Only today when he saw that figure which was like a god in the sky and that ball of light that contained astounding power did he suddenly understand.

Mo Cloud Sea would definitely become a great enemy of Kun Lun!

This vicious figure would become the nightmare of Kun Lun!

He had never heard of such an attack with such presence. He had never seen such a terrifying xiuzhe. Even the strongest disciples in the sect would not give him such a great impact.

It was not just strength, but that presence, that presence that was completely different from them!

Zuo Mo was like an inhuman monster. On him, all conventions were defied.

Such a terrifying person!

The air around Nie Chen was turbulent. The flow of strong currents of air caused everything he saw to be twisted. He had an understanding that under this blow, he would be reduced to dust.

His expression became calm and grave on his upraised face. Through his twisted vision, he saw that vicious dominance. In this moment, countless thoughts spun through his mind ... ...

The sect did not place enough attention on Mo Cloud Sea ... ...

Zuo Mo was the strongest of Mo Cloud Sea ... ...

To destroy Mo Cloud Sea, they had to first kill Zuo Mo ... ...

It was a pity ... ... there was no time ... ...

He sighed inside. Through his twisted vision, he still could clearly see that the attack he had channeled all of his power into powerlessly smash onto the other's axe energy. It didn't even cause a ripple as though it had encountered an unshakable mountain.

The destructive golden axe energy immediately took over his entire field of view.

He was unable to communicate what had happened here back to the sect ... ... it really was regretful ... ...

"Kun Lun."

Nie Chen sighed out the two words. Before he finished, he was drowned by the enormous wave of axe energy.

The light dissipated.

Zuo Mo panted. His entire body was soaked by sweat as though he had just climbed out of a river. Sweat streamed off his body like little streams.

He motionlessly maintained his extended swinging posture.

His bellowing panting could be heard everywhere.

In front of him, a enormous gully five li wide started from under his feet and reached into the distance. A rough estimate would be at least fifty li! The scene was startling to see as though an enormous wound had been torn open on the ground.

The gully was so deep the bottom could not be seen. The two sides of the gully flashed with the light as it reflected off the glass like surface and many places were still giving off smoke.

Everyone was stunned by this blow.

The Ghost Mist Child's mouth was wide open but he wasn't able to make a sound. This was the Totem Coliseum ... ... when was the last time the Totem Coliseum had been damaged?

His mind was completely blank and he couldn't remember anything. However, he knew that it had been many many many years since he had seen it.

A long time later, he recovered from his daze.

Suddenly, he realized that this young master of his was definitely something.

———

Zuo Mo's astounding blow attracted everyone's attention, even Tenth Grade and Zhen Ling Meng in the middle of their fight.

When they saw Zuo Mo's terrifying presence like that of a god, Tenth Grade and Zhen Ling Meng unconsciously stopped fighting.

Tenth Grade felt his blood heat up as he watched. That dominance, that ferocity, that unstoppable presence, wasn't that what he had been pursuing?

That was a fight! That was a truly strong person!

Tenth Grade's morale suddenly increased, his fighting spirit rising. The domineering and unstoppable figure was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Tenth Grade!

Only that domineering presence was suitable for the name Tenth Grade!

Tenth Grade suddenly howled, his shen power rippling as his [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword] came out again!

Stimulated, Tenth Grade became even more mad and excited. The power of the [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword] suddenly grew!

Zhen Ling Meng's mind was thrown into disarray by the scene that she had just seen. Especially when she saw that Nie Chen Shixiong's last attack was ineffective against the other's vicious axe energy. Nie Chen Shixiong died where he was standing, and the blood drained completely from her face.

That figure like that of a god continued to appear in her mind. She felt her heart was dead.

The other was so strong it surpassed the limits of humans!

With victory decided in that battle, the deadlock between the two sides was immediately changed.

Tenth Grade did not have any thoughts of showing mercy to females. He was vicious, one move coming faster than the last. Once a vicious sword scripture like the [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword] gained the upper hand, the enemy would feel that the pressure was slowly suffocating them.

In an excited battle frenzy, Tenth Grade felt that something in his mind broke and an unprecedented feeling of pleasure rose.

His mind turned, and Tenth Grade used his killing move again!

[Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword]!

The dark red howled as it flew towards Zhen Ling Meng whose mind was not focused.

The bloody figure that was as light as silk disappeared, and shadows appeared and disappeared on the dark red surface of the crescent.

With the appearance of every shadow, the killing energy of the crescent would increase!

Seven shadows!

The killing energy of the crescent had reached an astounding level. Zhen Ling Meng's sword energies would crumble when they touched the crescent!

A spray of blood into the air.

Zhen Ling Meng lost all signs of life!

When Zhen Ling Meng fell to the ground, Silly Bird slowly withdrew the Phoenix Flame. Where the Phoenix Flame had been, there was nothing, not even a speck of dust.

Silly Bird walked her bird walk with her head high and looking to the side as though nothing had happened.

———

In the Sword Guard Hall, there were countless jade swords hanging. Each jade sword was about the width of a hand had the name of a disciple written on it. The hilt of the swords were tied with red rope to the beams of the hall.

There were countless jade swords hanging in the hall.

Suddenly, pop pop pop, three jade swords shattered without warning.

The disciple standing guard in the hall changed expression. This meant that there were three Kun Lun disciples who had been killed. He hurriedly picked up the fragments. When he saw the three names, his expression turned ashen.

Three Children of Kun Lun!

Three of the Children Kun Lun had been killed!

How was it possible?

Who was able to kill three Children of Kun Lun at once?

There were only fifty Children of Kun Lun in all of Kun Lun. Each child of Kun Lun had glorious status in the sect. They were astoundingly powerful and any one of them could cause a storm on the outside world.

But ... ...

Three Children of Kun Lun had died at the same time!

This was the first time ever since Kun Lun had been founded. Realizing the severity of the problem, the disciple on duty sprinted out madly.

Not long after, the news that three Children of Kun Lun had been killed spread through all of Kun Lun!

Kun Lun shook!

———

Zuo Mo fell down to the ground on his behind, his arms spread as he fell back. He ignored the flow of sweat and panted like a parched fish.

All of his power had been used up. The exhaustion that came along caused his mind to turn blank.

A long time later, he finally focused.

His accumulated emotions had been vented and his mind was clear. He would always remember the grudge of his sect yet he was not as simple and direct with his emotions as Wei Sheng. Shixiong's personality was simple and direct, he had used a sword oath to understand his heart. For Zuo Mo who repressed these feelings. after a long time, it became an obstacle affecting his mental progress.

When he used this method to vent all the matters that had accumulated his mind, his mind became clear, and his strength took another step forward.

His body that was void of power, a clear mind, this strange yet beautiful feeling made him feel comfortable.

He knew that after this battle, his strength would go up another level!

———

There were constantly people coming out of the five halls. But anyone that were not on their side were immediately killed!

A Gui was like a ghost. Usually, just as the enemy came out, she would appear like a ghost behind the other's back and with a snap she would break the other's neck.

The Black Gold Seal Soldier was not willing to show weakness, especially after he saw Tenth Grade's display. His mind at disequilibrium, he fought even harder.

The Ghost Mist Child would occasionally participate to remind people he was there.

However, the strongest member of the great Ghost Mist Tribe, the hall master of Mist Hall, now was in a situation where he had to remind people of his existence. It really was a pitiful matter!

However, whenever he saw that Silly Bird out of the corner of his eyes that seemed to be napping, he immediately felt that it would be better to not be too attention-catching ... ...

Why had he ended up on a team with his natural enemy ... ...

He cried inside.

Most of the experts were killed. Those that were coming out were average in strength. Facing A Gui and the Black Gold Seal Soldier's powerful attacks, they usually were killed within one move.

Both of these people were vicious people who killed like cutting grass. It made the good child Sunshine unable to look, unable to look ... ... and was still unable to look ... ...

When Wei Sheng, Luo Li, Zong Ru and the others came out of the five halls, their strength immediately grew.

The Black Gold Seal Soldier and A Gui were even more reckless and vicious in their attacks. In any case, if they failed there were still others that would follow-up with another attack.

However, when every person came out, they would first go to look at Zuo Mo's fifty li long gully created by his axe swing. They all gasped in shock.

The guards looked reverently at Zuo Mo who had collapsed onto the ground. At the side, the Ghost Mist Child occasionally spoke of Master's heroic bearing, spittle flying as he talked excitedly.

As expected of Daren!

He usually did not act, but once he did, the results were always astounding!

It was a pity that these people staring reverently at Zuo Mo did not know the inner conflict of their idol.

"The gazes of these people ... ... so good ... ... now you know your boss is great and bright ... ..."

"Oh no, my arm seems to be dislocated ... ... should I tell them this ... ... that is so embarrassing ... ... oh ... ... let me first enjoy this and then say ... ..."

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo trying to save face ... ...

Thank you for your headphone suggestions. I'm going to compare and see what works.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Five – Mo Cloud Sea is Coming!

Kun Lun.

The death of three Children of Kun Lun was a great shock to Kun Lun. Every child of Kun Lun had been picked carefully, passing through numerous tests. All of them possessed astounding strength and talent. Each of them were Kun Lun's greatest wealth.

Three Children of Kun Lun had died.

"It's Lotus Sutra Temple's ancient ruins." Chao Xin's expression was serious. The death of three Children of Kun Lun was a great loss to Kun Lun.

In Chao Xin's view, this kind of loss was even greater than the loss of several jie. The selection of the children of Kun Lun was extremely complex and strict. What was almost certain was that the Children of Kun Lun would become the strongest fighters for Kun Lun. All of them had a bright future.

If a jie was lost, it could be taken back.

But if a child of Kun Lun was killed, it was almost impossible to find a replacement.

The Children of Kun Lun were picked from all Kun Lun disciples. The loss of any of these geniuses was irreplaceable. If they wanted to replenish their numbers, they had to increase the range of selection. However, the loyalty of the genius youths selected from other sects under Kun Lun was doubtful.

Once Kun Lun lost the unity that they relied on, then Kun Lun was no longer Kun Lun.

Chao Xin knew this better than most people and this was why he was worried. Three Children of Kun Lun being killed at the same time, this meant the enemy was very strong.

"It's Mo Cloud Sea." Lin Qian spat out. His expression was normal as though he was not affected at all.

"Most likely." Chao Xin agreed with Lin Qian's speculation. He said gravely, "Other than Mo Cloud Sea, no one has the strength. Tian Huan is not focused on this ruin and the manpower they sent out is limited."

"How is everyone?" Lin Qian suddenly asked.

Chao Xin understood what Lin Qian meant. "Everyone is angry, they want to get revenge for Nie Chen and the others! Nie Chen is a friendly person and there are many disciples that liked Zhen Ling Meng."

Lin Qian nodded. "Send them all out to gain experience."

Chao Xin paled. "Isn't that ... .."

Lin Qian waved his hand and said calmly, "Even the best talent, without any tempering, cannot grow into a truly strong tree. They have good talent, but lack experience. Many of them were not outstanding in the past. They need time to adjust to the change in their status."

Many of the Children of Kun Lun had not been outstanding in the ling power era because their talent in cultivating ling power had been ordinary. Yet after entering the era of shen power, their talents at cultivating shen power had been uncovered and their status had completely transformed.

The changes in their status and identity had come too suddenly. Many people had not adjusted to the change.

Lin Qian was very displeased with this. He felt that the Children of Kun Lun now did not have the spirit or demeanor of the previous core disciples of Kun Lun.

In that era, the core Kun Lun disciples had pride that came from their bones. They could not tolerate other people being stronger than them. This spirit urged them on to demand more of themselves.

Chao Xin understood but he said worriedly, "But this way, the fatalities will be high."

Lin Qian said coolly, "Fifty Children of Kun Lun, I will be satisfied if five of them become top experts. I do not need flowers growing in the greenhouse, and Kun Lun doesn't need them."

"I understand." Chao Xin did not speak further.

———

Zuo Mo and the other stood guard in front of the palace gates, killing whoever came in.

There wasn't any faction that could fight against them. Soon, they were the only ones left in the entire ruins.

"Finally, no one is going to compete with us." Zuo Mo's sigh was filled with satisfaction, and extremely smug.

The other people laughed. They had taken over the entire place.

"Which palace should we go to?" Zuo Mo asked the Ghost Mist Child.

The Ghost Mist Child said and then thought, "Not the Winter Palace, there once had been a strong warrior from the Sun Tribe that died when he entered the Winter Palace. The other palaces, all of them should be alright ... ..."

As he spoke, the Ghost Mist Child's voice became smaller and smaller.

Zuo Mo's face turned dark and he glared angrily, "You say you were familiar?"

The Ghost Mist Child said timidly, "That ... ... that ... ... actually ... ..."

Zuo Mo rubbed his forehead and said. Alright, it was all the same.

He thought. Among his group, the people who played with fire were the most common so he said, "Let's go to the Summer Palace!"

The other people naturally did not have any objections.

The bronze doors to the Summer Palace were carved with suns and blooming flowers. When Zuo Mo's hand touched the bronze doors, the sun and the flowers suddenly lit up and the palace gates soundlessly opened.

Bright sunlight came out of the palace gates. It was completely white, and everything narrowed their eyes.

Moments later, when everyone's eyes adjusted to the strong light, they finally saw the scene inside.

———

Mo Shen Temple.

A figure slowly rose out of the blood pool. If Wei Sheng saw this figure, he would be astounded. Wu Le! The Wu Le who had fallen at his sword was still alive.

Wu Le's face was ashen and he wore a grimace.

Youxi Ya Ke laughed lightly. "Who did you encounter that you got beaten so badly?"

"Wei Sheng!" Wu Le had an expression of respect.

Everyone's expression shifted.

"I almost wasn't able to come back," Wu Le said with lingering fear. "Wei Sheng is really one of the strongest sword xiu, so strong!"

"To be able to escape with your life after fighting Wei Sheng, be satisfied," Youxi Ya Ke said with a twist of his mouth.

Everyone had expressions of agreement.

Wu Le's complexion was pale but his eyes were bright and flashed with wondrous light. "I have understood a lot in the fight against Wei Sheng. In half a year, I will definitely have a breakthrough."

The others heard this and all showed expressions of joy.

If Wu Le grew stronger, the Mo Shen Temple would also grow stronger.

The conflicts in the mo territories had continued. All the factions fought and had not stopped. The Mo Shen Temple's conflicts with the other factions had not stopped but continuous battle would cause the Mo Shen Temple to grow stronger.

The mo gods of the Mo Shen Temple increased from three to five.

And the territory of the Mo Shen Temple had multiplied. The Mo Shen Temple had become one of the strongest factions in the Hundred Savage Realm. The strength of the Mo Shen Temple caused the mo that lived in the area they ruled to have relatively good lives. Their belief grew more steady and the mo gods were even stronger.

However, the battle between the Mo Marshal Alliance and Mo Cloud Sea had shocked them.

The loss of the two top battle generals of the Mo Marshal Alliance caused the Mo Marshal Alliance to start declining. The skirmishes at the borders increased and Gongzi Xi alone could not deal with all of them. In the span of a few months, the territories of the Mo Marshal Alliance had shrank by a fifth.

The mo golds of the Mo Shen Temple watched with rapidly beating hearts.

The Mo Marshal Alliance and the Mo Shen Temple were factions of the same level. However, just due to one defeat, their situation had rapidly worsened.

Everyone knew that the Mo Marshal Alliance was probably going to end up a second-tier faction.

Unless another new top battle general entered the Mo Marshal Alliance, the Mo Marshal Alliance's fate was sealed. With only one top battle general it could not avoid the fate of its territories shrinking.

The present skirmishes were just the beginning.

The leaders of the Mo Shen Temple watched this and felt the pressure rise. The Mo Shen Temple had three top battle generals. The Chief Mo God, Youxi Ya Ke, and the fourth mo god.

The Rhinoceros Mo God and Wu Le were able to fight and led troops but there was still a great difference in skill from them to be truly top battle generals.

Mo Cloud Sea!

No one had thought that Mo Cloud Sea was so strong!

Bie Han alone had killed two top battle generals. This was terrifying. Also, the Mo Shen Temple had interacted with Zuo Mo before and still had a memorable impression of him. They knew that with Zuo Mo's personality, he would never do an unprofitable thing.

Bie Han's Sin Battalion would definitely have a way of being replenished!

Otherwise, Zuo Mo definitely would not agree for Bie Han to make such a sacrifice.

The loss of two top battle generals caused the defense lines of the Mo Marshal Alliance to be in constant retreat.

While Bie Han no longer fought, the Tangzi Battalion, A Zha Ge Battalion, and the Grey Camp were like three sharp daggers that cut up the defense lines of the Mo Marshal Alliance.

Lightning fast, Mo Cloud Sea took down thirteen jie of various sizes!

The Mo Marshal Alliance seemed to be flee when they heard the name Mo Cloud Sea. They could not muster up any resistance. Helpless, the Mo Marshal Alliance could only retreat and give up large amounts of territory.

Mo Cloud Sea seemed even more emboldened.

However, it was not that the other factions were not prowling about. In their view, Bie Han had already returned to Mo Cloud Sea. The three battalions that were roaming about now were not Sin Battalion. They did not think highly of those battalions, and they also had the advantage of being on home territory.

An alliance of more than forty small factions formed a great army intending to take down this piece of meat.

However, Tang Fei and the other battalions let them have a taste of true power.

On the battlefield, the Tangzi Battalion fought twenty one consecutive battles without sleep or rest. They won all twenty one!

Grey Camp sneaked a long way and suddenly appeared behind the enemy. They took over thirty main towns and burned almost seventy percent of the supply bases.

A Zha Ge Battalion's movements forced the alliance to split up their forces. Then he met up with Tang Fei and defeated the main forces of the alliance!

Corpses piled in mountains!

Blood flowing in rivers!

The alliance immediately crumpled.

Yet, unexpectedly, the three battalions did not rest at all. Like wolves, they continued to pursue the fleeing soldiers.

The collapsing alliance lost all fighting spirit. They only knew to flee, furiously flee!

Following the defeated forces, the three battalions, without almost any effort, took down one jie after another!

Forty four jie!

When the numbers were finally calculated, the mo territories were shocked again!

The strong fighting ability of Mo Cloud Sea caused the entire world to look at them.

They were not Bie Han. Except for A Zha Ge, everyone else had been unknown before this. Yet in this string of battles, they had displayed strong offensive power, and revealed the high level of their battle general training.

They thought about the previous Ma Fan Battalion who had become famous due to one battle.

None of these four battalions were weak.

These battalions were different in their styles, but they had many traits in common, strong military regulation and a hardy spirit!

The entire mo territories were shouting in shock

–Mo Cloud Sea was coming!

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo now has a monopoly on the Coliseum.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Six – Summer Palace

The burning bright sun, the blooming sea of flowers, the vibrantly growing plants, the thunderstorms that came and left suddenly ... ...

It really was summer!

Zuo Mo and the others tried to find a way out of the sea of flowers and the forest. Occasionally, rain would pour down on them and soak them completely. However, with their strength, this was like taking a sight-seeing tour.

The bright sun, the scent of fragrant flowers, the babbling flow of water ... ...

There was no danger. They didn't even encounter one large animal, much less any poison miasma or mist.

Yet after twenty hours had passed and they still hadn't found a way out, everyone understood that this sea of flowers and trees were not as wonderful as imagined.

"So hot!" someone couldn't help but complain.

The sun was bright like fire. Even though the branches of the trees, the burning heat still made people feel uncomfortable.

Zuo Mo's mind moved. He also felt a wave of relentless heat. He had not noticed it and he only realized a problem when he heard someone complain. With their strength, they should not feel cold or heat. Why would they feel hot?

There was something strange!

Raising his head to look at the sun in the sky, Zuo Mo frowned and called everyone to a stop.

"This is not right. We have walked for twenty hours, covering at least seven hundred li but there are still no signs we are getting out. This sun is also very strange. Everyone feels the heat. Let's talk and see if we can find anything?" Zuo Mo threw out the problem.

Zong Ru suddenly opened his eyes. "The sun is problematic."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned towards Zong Ru. Zong Ru's sixth sense was unparalleled in its sensitivity. If he said there was a problem, then there was a problem.

Zong Ru's expression was grave as he slowly said, "Within the light of the sun, there is a kind of power similar to wish power."

"Wish power!"

Everyone changed expressions in fear. Just the term was enough to make their hairs stand on end. The wish power of the Dhyana xiu had always been a very mysterious power. The descriptions of wish power were usually along the lines of "malicious." Among the many methods of the Dhyana xiu that admired righteousness and honesty, wish power was special. It was innately a malicious power.

In the understanding of many people, wish power was like a toxin.

Zong Ru cultivated wish power, and the rare "Buddha Abandoning Death Wish" at that. This was not a secret in Mo Cloud Sea, but usually, people did not see Zong Ru use wish power.

When they heard Zong Ru say that the sunlight contained a power similar to wish power, everyone's expressions changed. No one wanted to touch that strange power.

Zong Ru continued, "However, this power is very weak and hard to detect."

Zuo Mo, Wei Sheng, and the others closed their eyes to feel it. Zuo Mo quickly found it. As expected, there was a very weak wisp of a strange power within the strong sunlight. This wisp of power was unique. It could ignore the defenses of shen equipment and permeate the body.

Zuo Mo sank his mind into his body. A short while later, he found that weak wish power inside his body. The wish power was extremely weak. If he was not focused on finding it, it most likely would be hard to discover. And it was this weak wish power that made him feel relentless heat.

So strong!

Zuo Mo was alarmed. The danger of wish power could be seen from how it had penetrated his body without him knowing it. He channeled shen power and tried to force the wish power inside his body out. But unexpectedly, no matter how he channeled wish power, that thin thread did not move. It sat motionlessly in his body.

Zuo Mo gritted his teeth. The sun shen power inside his body wrapped around the wish power. When the sun shen power twisted with the wish power, it was unable to immediately burn away the wish power. The burning process was extremely slow.

It took twenty breaths before that hair-thin strand of wish power in his body was burned away.

Zuo Mo was shocked. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Wei Sheng SHixiong's expression was similarly grave. A Gui, Ceng Lian'er and Luo Li were alright, the little ones were fine, but the guards were helpless against the wish power.

"Let me try." Zong Ru's expression was grave.

His wish power was unlike the wish power from the sun. Zong Ru's wish power was grey, and the wish power in the sunlight was a flaming red.

Zong Ru's wish power entered the body of a guard and rapidly charged towards the red wish power to quickly consume it.

Very soon, the wish power in each of the guard's body was completely eliminated and the red lotus flower on Zong Ru's forehead became even brighter.

"How do you feel?" Zuo Mo asked in concern.

Zong Ru gave a warm smile. "With the similarities to wish power it is of great benefit to me. Daren, do not worry."

Zuo Mo's worries were eased. Since Zong Ru was here, then this wish power was not a problem. He thought and then said, "We will fly rather than walk. This way, it will not be easy to get lost."

Before, they had been worried that flight would attract powerful monsters so they had walked. After walking for more than twenty hours, they didn't know where they were anymore. This made Zuo Mo decide to fly.

The group flew into the sky. There was a vibrant forest under them that stretched out endlessly in their view.

What made Zuo Mo feel safe was that they had not encountered any strong monsters. But after flying for more than eighty hours, and travelling for almost ten thousand li, there was still no end to the flowers and forests.

What shocked Zuo Mo and the others was the light of the sun was much more poisonous in the sky. Every four hours, everyone had to land and have Zong Ru help extract the wish power out of them.

The red lotus on Zong Ru's forehead became even brighter. Accompanied by his caved-in face, it was eerie.

Zong Ru's pupils became even deeper. Ever since he achieved wish power, his wish power had never grown. Wish power was unlike ling or shen power. It could not be cultivated and was closer to an abhinna. But in the span of these few days, after consuming the wish power in everyone's bodies, his wish power had more than doubled.

A grey mist twisted in his sea of consciousness.

"What a ghastly place!" Zuo Mo looked around. "We've flown for so long and still hasn't left this forest. Are we in an illusory formation?"

"Illusory formation?" the Ghost Mist Child asked curiously, "What is that?"

"You don't know what an illusory formation is?" Zuo Mo examined the Ghost Mist Child with slight disbelief.

Pu Yao spoke at this time, "There were no illusory formations in the ancient era."

"No illusory formations during the ancient era?" This time, it was Zuo Mo's turn to be shocked. "No way!" For him, illusory formations were one of the most basic skills, a minor skill that everyone should know of. Of course, if it was a powerful illusory formation, it would be a troublesome matter.

"Illusory formations only appeared after ling power, this is common knowledge!" Pu Yao would not pass on any chance to attack Zuo Mo and said this with disdain.

The Ghost Mist Child stood in the middle with puzzlement.

Seeing this, Zuo Mo created an illusory formation as an example. The Ghost Mist Child finally realized it and then said scornfully, "Using tricks like this to fool people are useless!"

Zuo Mo was furious and then he pointed at the forest below. "Then you tell me what this forest is!"

"Ignorant!" Pu Yao couldn't help but mock. "Your knowledge only extends to illusory formatons. Hmph! The skills of ancient warriors are those you cannot imagine. If I am not wrong, this has formed into a jie. Or, this was originally a jie and it was then modified."

Zuo Mo was dumbstruck. He stammered out, "You are saying ... ... this is actually a new jie ... ..."

"Yes!" Pu Yao's eyes were filled with longing. "The ancient warriors could steal the sky and snatch the sun, pluck stars and change the moon. This jie should have been changed."

This speculation was a great blow to Zuo Mo's mind. He had met the strange Shi in the Sealed Extinction Battlefield and thought he had a certain level of understanding of the greatness of the ancient ones. Now, he found that he had underestimated the strength of the ancient great ones.

However, the Ghost Mist Child should have more of a say in this matter. Zuo Mo immediately turned around and looked at the Ghost Mist Child. "The Summer Palace is a jie?"

The Ghost Mist Child nodded. "It should be. The previous master liked creating spectacles, and hated things that fooled others."

He had been the warrior of a tribe before and was knowledgeable. He raised his head to look at the sun and said uncertainly. "I don't know where Master got this sun from. If the people from the Sun Tribe saw this, they would be jealous. This forest is probably something special as well."

Zuo Mo gaped as he listened.

With a jie as a palace, to set up a sun, to create an endless forest. This was inhuman.

In comparison, the so-called restricted grounds of the present large sects were just child's play.

Suddenly, Lil' Black who had been hanging of Silly Bird waved its antennae.

Hmm?

Zuo Mo's eyes immediately lit up. When Lil' black usually did this, it meant that there was treasure nearby!

As expected, Lil' Black slid down Silly Bird's body and then started to fly in a direction.

Zuo Mo called out and then hurriedly followed.

Lil' Black was very fast and nimble. Zuo Mo and the others had to be alert as they followed closely behind.

After flying about twenty li, Lil' Black finally stopped and landed on a piece of scorched wood.

Zuo Mo was slightly surprised and then curiously examined the piece of wood. This wood was clearly old. Half of it was buried in the ground and half exposed to the air. The wood should have been the trunk of a large tree, about three chi in diameter. It was covered in lichen and looked very normal.

Lil' Black was holding on tightly to the wood in intoxication.

Was there something special about the wood?

Zuo Mo was even more curious. He walked over and reached out to prepare to brush off the lichen growing on the wood.

Hm!

When Zuo Mo's hand touched the lichen, suddenly, an arch of electricity flashed and struck out at his fingertips. His hand went numb.

Lightning!

The green lichen contained such a great amount of lightning!

He tried to put his hand on the lichen. As expected, another arc of lightning hit his hand.

Interesting!

It was the first time he had encountered lichen that contained such a great amount of lightning. This was much more than what was in his Sonic Lightning Walnuts. While he did not know the use of the green lichen, he felt that this thing would definitely have wondrous uses.

He took out a jade box, and carefully gathered all the green lichen on the wood.

The wood's appearance was gradually revealed.

Translator Ramblings: Just to put things into perspective, Pu Yao and the strongest of the yaomo sacrificed themselves to create Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie. The maker of the coliseum did it at least 4 times, most likely by himself.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Seven – Coral Fire Perch

The surface of the wood was black as though it had been scorched by fire. It was black and did not appear special. Zuo Mo looked at Lil' Black who was the same color and couldn't help but mutter inside, you're holding on so tightly, is it because you found something as black as you?

However, when the wood was in his hand, Zuo Mo shook.

A burning presence burrowed into Zuo Mo's hand.

Even though Zuo Mo possessed the Sun Shen Flame, he couldn't help but shake. Only when he started to channel shen power did this burning presence only halved. Having learned the lesson, he wrapped shen power around his hand before carefully grabbing the tree trunk.

The section that was buried under was longer than Zuo Mo imagined.

It took Zuo Mo some effort to pull the entire piece of wood out of the soil. The tree trunk was about twice the height of a person and about a third of it was burnt.

The burnt part had most likely been struck by lightning. Zuo Mo could clearly feel a great amount of lightning and fire energy. It was so abundant it was almost unimaginable. Zuo Mo suspected that this part of the trunk was crystallized by lightning and fire energy, containing extremely pure lightning and fire energy that existed in a wondrous balance.

The green lichen had changed into the lightning green lichen as a result of growing on the tree trunk for a long time and absorbing the lightning energy of the trunk.

When Zuo Mo dug out the entire tree and wiped away the surface layer of soil, everyone else watching inhaled sharply.

The part of the trunk that was not burnt was as warm and as transparent as crystal. It was possible to see thick twisted red veins inside that filled the inner space of the wood. It was like a coral. A burning presence emanated from it.

"What is this?" The Black Gold Seal Soldier curiously crowded over.

Zuo Mo shook his head. "I don't know." He turned to ask the Ghost Mist Child. "Do you recognize it?"

The Ghost Mist Child said with slight hesitation, "It should be coral wood."

"Coral wood?" The Black Gold Seal Soldier's eyes were wide, and something glittering could be seen at the corner of his mouth. "Just that name... it sounds as though it would taste delicious ... ...I really want to eat ... ..."

"Coral wood?" Zuo Mo frowned. He remembered that the sun gold leaf had mentioned this.

Coral Wood, jade like material, a coral-like fire inside, it was a rare and precious fire-type material.

Fire ... ...

Zuo Mo's shen power was uncontrollably channeled in. Boom, the wood suddenly sprouted red flames that made everyone jump in fright.

Zuo Mo frowned instead. Such a strange flame!

Unlike his sun shen flame, the flame inside the coral wood was as red as coal but silent.

It was a pity that it was not suited to him. His flame was domineering and fierce and completely different from the fire of the coral wood. He remembered that the sun gold leaf had said that this item was most suited for a wasteland beast and could help them grow.

Wasteland beast ... ...

Zuo Mo's gaze swept across everyone and then landed in the end on Silly Bird. His eyes lit up. This one could count as a phoenix now. Her flame was unlike his, and coral wood would be a suitable pairing.

Phoenixes perched on parasol trees.

There were no parasol trees, but this coral wood was perfect.

Zuo Mo considered it and then arrived at a decision. His hand was like a knife that cut the coral wood into two. The part that contained lightning energy was split off. The lightning and fire energies in this part of the wood had completely merged together after coexisting for tens of thousands of years.

The other section of the coral wood was about the height of a man. It was jade-like to the touch. A dark red coral grew throughout the transparent tree trunk. People had to marvel at the wonders of creation.

Zuo Mo closed his eyes and thought. A long while later, he opened his eyes. His fingers were like knives that quickly started to carve on the coral wood. Scraps of clear wood flew. The Black Gold Seal Soldier who was watching eagerly did not wait for them to land on the ground before sucking them into his mouth with a content expression.

About an hour later, the round trunk was covered in patterns.

"This is a totem pole?" The Ghost Mist Child asked uncertainly. He had never seen many of the patterns on this totem pole.

"It isn't." Zuo Mo shook his head. "I used some of the totem pole methods. What should this be considered as?"

Zuo Mo was slightly uncertain.

The other people did not understand what Zuo Mo intended but Silly Bird's eyes suddenly lit up. She seemed to feel that was a ball of fire inside the round wood that was resonating with the fire inside her.

Zuo Mo shook his head. It was not important what this thing was, but rather if it was useful or not. He beckoned at Silly Bird. "Silly Bird, stand on it and try!"

If this was another day, Silly Bird would proudly ignore Zuo Mo if he called her Silly Bird or glare angrily. But today, without a word, her wings spread and she flew onto the coral wood.

Once Silly Bird land onto the coral wood, boom, dark red flames suddenly erupted out of the wood pillar. Silly Bird felt indescribably comfortable and sang a high note!

Boom!

The fire expanded!

The red flames shot into the sky!

An astounding wave of air gusted in all directions. Zuo Mo, Wei Sheng, and a few others were unaffected but the guards were unable to keep their places, bam bam bam, and were forced to retreat a few steps.

However, Wei Sheng, Zong Ru and the others changed expressions slightly.

It seemed as though they saw an enormous ancient phoenix bathing in the fire of the wood. Amongst the raging flames, its proud posture could be seen. "With its high pitched cries, all beasts bowed!"

Silly Bird's Phoenix Flame and the dark red flames of the coral wood merged perfectly. The seal scripts and shen glphys on the pillar were unusually beautiful in the brightness of the flames.

Other than the seal scripts, the most important thing on the pillar was the sun shen glyph. The sun shen glyph was the one that Zuo Mo was most familiar with. While it was not a perfect match to the attributes of the coral wood, the wood was one of the rare materials that could support shen glyphs. Zuo Mo used a compromise, the sun shen glyph as the core, all kinds of fire formations on the surface to form a completely separate and complete little fire formation group.

This round pillar did not look any different from totem poles but the two were completely different things.

Seal pole?

This name was not glorious enough. Zuo Mo immediately refused it. After thinking for awhile, he decided to call it the [Coral Fire Perch].

It had to be said that Zuo Mo's design was rational. The fire contained inside the [Coral Fire Perch] was completely uncovered. Silly Bird could absorb the flames while perching on it. When fighting, this would be also of help. Her phoenix flame would at least increase in power by half!

With the [Solitary Dance of the Great Dark Wheel Phoenix] together, Silly Bird had the power to fight against the wasteland beasts of the ancient times!

Thinking that he had another super powered sidekick, Zuo Mo was extremely proud. As expected, regardless of the time, equipment was the most important!

Having had a taste, Zuo Mo started to calculate his other gains.

Rain Banner, Thunder Source Hammer, remnant of a Skanda Staff, Green Pulse String, all the parts of the ancient octopus.

All of these were good materials. The Rain Commanding Banner and the Thunder Source Hammer were also undamaged, but were exhausted of their power so they did not retain their ancient power. However, their construction was extraordinary and just the materials were very good.

There was still a lingering presence of a Dhyana xiu on the remnant of the Skanda Staff. However, what was most useful was the material. It was made from the very rare Ten Thousand Profound Copper Source gilded with Crimson Fire Gold Flow. It was extremely hard but at the same time, the difficulty in forging was high.

However, for Zuo Mo who possessed the sun shen fire, this was not a problem.

The Green Pulse Strand was a powerful talisman, a treasure formed in the world. Zuo Mo had not thought of any ways to forge it. Most importantly was that shen glyph that Zuo Mo called [Green Pulse]. It possessed great power. Only after completely comprehending the [Green Pulse Shen Glyph] could he truly express the power of the Green Pulse String.

Zuo Mo had never had the bad habits of the forgers from the big sects. It was normal for him to adjust his designs to the materials he had on hand.

After some thought, he had a new idea.

He took out all of the good materials from his ring and piled it up in front of him. He called over Zong Ru and had him try to see which kind of material could hold wish power.

Wish power was a very strange power. Zuo Mo's understanding of it was pitiful so he decided for Zong Ru to try them one by one.

Zong Ru understood that Zuo Mo was planning to forge a talisman for him and was moved. However, his control over his emotions had reached a great level and his expression remained calm.

He did as Zuo Mo said and tried the items. His eyes suddenly lit up when he touched the eyes of the ancient octopus.

"This item is useable!"

Zuo Mo's worries were immediately eased. In his view, Zong Ru had wish power and shen power, two completely different powers. It would be a pity if he could not enhance any one of the two. He had been worried before since there were no materials suitable for Zong Ru. The Cross Vajra Gada could not express his strength at this point.

The two eyes of the ancient octopus had turned to stone already. They were black and bright on the surface and had shrank by a third of its size. However, for a talisman, it was still too large.

Zuo Mo did not know much about many of Zong Ru's skills so Zong Ru decided to forge a general talisman nucleus and then have Zong Ru continue to perfect it.

This undoubtedly tested the skill of the forger.

Even Zuo Mo had to seriously considered for a while before he decided to act.

The first step was to forge the two eyes of the octopus. With the sun shen fire and the phoenix flame, it only took half of a day. Zuo Mo forged the two eyes until they were about the size of a fist.

After forging the octopus eyes, they were black and reflective. If one met the eyes, they would unconsciously be attracted and their consciousness sinking into them.

As expected of a guy that had lived for tens of thousands of years!

Zuo Mo's confidence multiplied.

Thunder Source Hammer, the damaged Skanda Staff, half of the coral wood, the Incense Fire Ling Wish Beads ... ...

A pile of valuable materials flowed through Zuo Mo's hands. Zuo Mo had gained the Incense Fire Ling Wish Beads as spoils of victory after killing Ji Zheng ]. The other treasure, the Nether Reincarnation Lotus had always been used on A Gui.

After forging for three full days, this shen device finally took form.

This was a very strange three-flanged max. Inside one flange was a transparent red bead about the size of a fist that floated peacefully. Inside the bead, there was a hammer that flickered in and out of view among the electricity. In another flange, there were two beautiful black beads that spun constantly like two playing fish. In the last flange, seven Incense Fire Ling Wish Beads floated up and down in the mist of the incense.

Even though Zong Ru's mind was as still as water, he couldn't help but stop breathing when he saw this three-flanged staff!

[1] Obtained in chapter 678.

Ji Zheng – Fanxu of Tian Huan Temple. First mentioned in chapter 664, and appearing in chapter 665 where he is on a mission to assassinate Xiao Mo Ge with Dai Tao. Described as a stereotypical dhynana xiu, with a shaved head, prayer beads, and monk robes.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Eight – Descendant of Greenvine

Zong Ru caressed the three-flanged Skanda Staff and didn't maintain the mannerisms of a Dhyana expert at all.

Zuo Mo was satisfied with this three-flanged Skanda Staff as well. Among all of his works, this three-flanged Skanda Staff was near the top. Other than the high level materials used in its design, the forging method and the designs were both outstanding.

The most unique part about it was that Zuo Mo had left it partially incomplete. This design could be gradually perfected by Zong Ru so that the item would be better suited to him. This also gave him a new way of thinking. In the past, talismans were completely forged by forgers, and then the user would gradually learn to use it.

But for top experts, their understanding of battle far surpassed forgers.

This new idea, finishing the framework and then let the user perfect it. The talismans that formed would be more fitting to the needs of the user. There was no big meaning in pursuing the power of a talisman above all else. Zuo Mo who was experienced in combat knew that talismans suited to the user were the best talismans, not the ones that were most powerful.

Zuo Mo named this three-flanged Skanda Staff as the Three Manifestations Treasure Staff.

Zuo Mo didn't have any plans about the remaining materials and of the people here, only Luo Li didn't have a good talisman. However, when he thought about Luo Li's eerie [Life-Death Lock] cultivation method, Zuo Mo had a headache.

That spell was truly too eerie and hard to predict. After some methods from the Undying Shen Power had been added, the [Life-Death Lock] became even harder to understand. Even Zuo Mo, who had seen numerous shen methodologies, could not understand.

Much less forge a talisman for Luo Li.

Fortunately, Luo Li did not care about this at all. He stayed close to Wo Li everyday and the world did not exist in his eyes.

A Gui had the [Undying Ghost, Eldest Shixiong had the God-Killing Blood Sword, Luo Li did not need anything. Zong Ru now had the Three Manifestations Treasure Staff. Even Silly Bird now had the [Coral Fire Perch]. In the end, Zuo Mo was the one with nothing.

However, after remember that he had the Green Pulse String and the Anti Dragon Claw, Zuo Mo threw the problem to the back of his mind.

He would first have to think about how to get out of the Summer Palace before anything else.

They had flown for more than a dozen days. According to their travel speed, they should have travelled over ten thousand miles. Yet there was still not an end to the forest. This was not a good sign. However, the Ghost Mist Child dismissed it. He said that it was fast for the people that entered the Four Palaces in the past to come out in two months.

Only then did everyone feel slightly reassured.

The most patient one was Zong Ru. He held the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff in his hand and used the staff to absorb wish power from the sunlight in the past few days. The two black octopus eyes turned blacker like two holes of empty space that floated in the air.

On their way, they did not encounter any more treasures like the coral wood.

The sun was still poisonous. However, with the help of the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff, the wish power in the sunlight was unable to harm them.

After walking for three days, there was still no end to the forest.

Zuo Mo suddenly felt that the scene in front of them seemed to be familiar. He frowned and throughout for a long time. He finally remembered where he had seen this before, the Sun Shen Temple!

The Greenwood Secret Realm that Big Brother Qing Lin guarded, wasn't that very similar to this scene here?

Was it ... ...

His mind moved, and during rest time, he carefully reread the jade scroll that Big Brother Qing Lin had left him. There were many things recorded in this jade scroll, including the secret [Greenvine Shen Methodology] of the Greenvine Tribe. Qing Lin had hoped that Zuo Mo could encounter the descendants of the Greenvine Tribe and let them inherit this scroll.

Seeing the item reminded him of the person. Seeing of the warm and welcoming expression of Big Brother Qing Lin, Zuo Mo felt a wave of sadness. As he thought of Big Brother Qing Lin's last request- searching for the remains of his tribe. But despite his efforts, Zuo Mo felt even more guilty having no success. He had sent many people to the place that Qing Lin had marked on the jie map in search of the Greenvine Tribe. However, that place was now a desert and void of people.

Because he cultivated sun shen power, Zuo Mo did not learn the [Greenvine Shen Methodology]. He only read it occasionally. This time, he read it seriously and many parts he had not noticed before were found. For example, he actually found the Green Pulse String mentioned in the scroll. This strange thing was a treasure that the Greenvine Tribe dreamed about. If they could cultivate the [Greenvine Shen Methodology] to a high degree, they did not need to refine the Green Pulse String in order to use it effectively.

Naturally, Zuo Mo could not cultivate the [Greenvine Shen Methodology] to such a great level.

However, when he saw that one who cultivated the [Greenvine Shen Methodology] could easily move and navigate through forests, he was overjoyed.

He did not hope for many benefits from cultivating the [Greenvine Shen Methodology]. He would thank the heavens if he could get out of this endless forest.

If Qing Lin learned that Zuo Mo began cultivating the [Greenvine Shen Methodology] just for its use in finding his way through a forest, he would climb out of his grave.

While the Greenvine Tribe had not dominated like the Sun Tribe, it had been a large first-class tribe. The [Greenvine Shen Methodology] was something many tribes were jealous of!

It was not difficult for Zuo Mo to cultivate the [Greenvine Shen Methodology]. He had a droplet of Greenvine Mystical Water in his body. This precious mystical water had helped him countless times.

When he had encountered Qing Lin, Zuo Mo's understanding of shen methodology had been pitifully low. He had been ignorant of many basic details. The present Zuo Mo had progressed far beyond that and knew much more about shen power. There were no obstacles in learning the [Greenvine Shen Methodology].

A green energy floated onto Zuo Mo's eyes.

Countless feelings came from all directions like the tide through the forest.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling came from deep within the forest.

Was that ... ...

Zuo Mo's heart shook. Unhesitatingly, he stood and flew in a direction.

The other people saw this and knew that Zuo Mo definitely had made a discovery. They followed closely behind.

The further he flew, the more the familiar feeling from the forest grew. Zuo Mo's eyes became even brighter. The vibration from the forest seemed to feel Zuo Mo's existence and was furiously flying in his direction.

When a green shadow flashed through the forest, Zuo Mo's heart suddenly became excited and he did not hesitate to give chase.

A thin and weak figure was jumping through the forest nimbly. A head full of verdant green hair reached his waist and danced in the wind.

It was a young boy of about fifteen.

Suddenly, Zuo Mo seemed seem to see that familiar elegant and tall figure with flying green hair in the Sun Shen Temple.

The little boy's eyes were like black opals. He warily examined Zuo Mo, puzzlement flashing through his eyes. The stranger in front of him gave him a feeling of closeness.

"Who are you?" The young boy was slightly wary but he was not afraid. He stared with his opal black eyes at Zuo Mo. His clothing was woven from the vines of the forest, and the skin exposed to the air was tanned.

"I'm Zuo Mo ." Zuo Mo's lips couldn't help but curve. The familiar vibrations coming off the child made him overjoyed. "What are you called?"

"I am Qing Xiao." The boy seemed to feel Zuo Mo's friendliness and his wariness eased greatly.

Zuo Mo suppressed the excitement he felt. "You are from the Greenvine Tribe?"

"Ah! You too?" Qing Xiao immediately had an excited expression and he looked with anticipation at Zuo Mo.

Zuo Mo smiled and flicked his finger. A dot of green flew out of his finger and turned into a green vine.

"I can do that!" Qing Xiao was very happy. He copied Zuo Mo in flicking a finger. A green vine of light uncoiled like a snake.

[Greenvine Shen Methodology]!

Zuo Mo was full of emotion. Was there really fate? In the end, he had not failed to fulfill what Big Brother Qing Lin had requested?

"Take us to your home, alright?" Zuo Mo said in a soft tone.

"Alright!" Qing Xiao said happily. He immediately turned into a green shadow that shot out.

Zuo Mo and the others hurriedly followed.

A short while later, a small treehouse appeared in front of everyone. The treehouse was built on top of a thousand year old tree. There were many old vines hanging down. Qing Xiao was like monkey that grabbed a vine and flipped into the little treehouse. He said happily, "We're home!"

Zuo Mo looked around and asked in bewilderment, "Where's everyone else? Don't you live with your clansmen?"

Qing Xiao's expression dimmed. "I'm the only one left. Everyone died."

"Died!" Zuo Mo was stunned.

"The sun is poisonous." Qing Xiao's expression recovered as he showed a bright smile and white teeth. "However, I'm not afraid, I will definitely find a solution!"

Zuo Mo felt sorrow but he was used to seeing life and death so he did not lose his composure. After a moment, he recovered.

He rubbed Qing Xiao's head. "No matter, I have a solution."

Zong Ru reached out with the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff and tapped lightly on Qing Xiao. Threads of wish power crept out of Qin Xiao's body like mist and were sucked into the two black balls.

Qing Xiao's eyes were wide and filled with curiosity. His body felt warm and unspeakably comfortable.

"Aiya, it really worked!" Qing Xiao suddenly sat, touching his head and then his body. His clever and energetic appearance made them want to smile.

Zuo Mo felt even greater affection for the innocent Qing Xiao. He said, "Qing Xiao, how about coming along with Big Brother? The sun outside isn't poisonous!"

"Alright!" Qing Xiao nodded. "I'm very bored here alone! Big Brother is a good person!"

Zuo Mo heard this and smiled. He was also very happy. "Since you say Big Brother is a good person, Big Brother will have to express this."

"What is express this?" Qing Xiao looked curiously at Zuo Mo.

"Close your eyes and channel shen power," Zuo Mo said. Qing Xiao acknowledged this, obediently closing his eyes and channeling his shen power.

Zuo Mo reached out a finger. A drop of water fell from his fingertip to land on Qing Xiao's forehead and then disappeared.

"Ah!" Qing Xiao explained. His face soon turned green.

Greenvine Mystical Water!

Zuo Mo was now giving the Greenvine Mystical Water that Big Brother Qing Lin had given him to Qing Xiao. The Greenvine Mystical Water had many benefits but for the present Zuo Mo, there were no great uses. However, for Qing Xiao, it was of great benefit.

Moments later, Qing Xiao opened his eyes joyfully. "Greenvine Mystical Water! I know this! This is Greenvine Mystical Water!"

Zuo Mo was unspeakably happy. He asid with as mile, "Big Brother also has something else to give you." As he spoke, he took off the Green Pulse String on his wrist and tied it on Qing Xiao's wrist.

The Ghost Mist Child's eyes were wide in disbelief!

Green Pulse String!

That was Green Pulse String!

Qing Xiao was both excited and curious as he swung the Green Pulse String. It had to be said that the Green Pulse String was a natural match for the Greenvine Tribe. In just a short while, the Green Pulse String seemed to come alive on Qing Xiao's hand.

The Green Pulse String was powerful, but in Zuo Mo's hands, it could not be used to its greatest power. In Zuo Mo's hands, the greatest value of the Green Pulse String was the [Green Pulse] shen glyph.

Zuo Mo's heart was unusually calm and he seemed to understand. The last wishes of Big Brother Qing Lin had been a burden on his mind. After this burden was resolved, he felt relaxed as though a great weight had been taken off.

His mentality had went a level further and became even more understanding.

Translator Ramblings: I am so irritated with myself. I should have learned to read documentation thoroughly. Three years and now I learn WordPress supports markdown. So much wasted effort.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Nine – Danger

Mo Cloud Sea.

Hong Xiao carefully finished reading the report from her subordinate. She appeared as though she was trying to see something from the report. Her subordinates didn't dare to make a sound. The higher-ups had directly made Hong Xiao one of the two chief managers. For the subordinates, they only had one choice, submit.

Also, Hong Xiao had been in charge of an underground power, [Red Snapped Silk] before, and naturally could not avoid having an additional viciousness and brutality.

After a short while, she had earned the complete respect of this group of people.

No wonder she could be the chief steward. She wasn't just a little bit strong!

There had always been rumors between them that the two chief stewards were competing amongst themselves by managing their two separate groups. This rumor was plausible and even Chief Steward Hong Xiao never refuted it. For these people, their own benefits were more important than anything else. Profit and their position were what they were most concerned about. The existence of a competitor greatly increased the unity of their group.

This was to join against a common enemy.

It was the first time Hong Xiao showed such a serious expression!

The subordinates speculated inside and exchanged looks.

Hong Xiao's gaze was serious. This report, on the surface, did not have any unusual content but the experience Hong Xiao felt a hint of danger.

She was very satisfied with her present days. She was not like Cang Ling Xue. She had lived more than a decade in the darkness. She knew that it was a blessing her family was still alive. The other had too many ways of controlling her. Her hands were drenched with blood and she was familiar with those terrifying methods.

Unlike Cang Ling Xue who resisted, she had unhesitatingly agreed to her captor's demands.

She had been very unaccustomed to this completely new lease on life. There was no darkness, everything was done in the open. The higher-ups did not restrict her from using any methods. However, unless it was against some truly despicable enemies, she rarely used any methods of the darkness.

This was a completely new life, a completely new world.

She was very satisfied, especially when she saw her son's innocent smile. When she thought of how he would have a good future, hope formed in her chest.

This gave her new motivation.

She treasured this opportunity, treasured this difficult change and because of it, she was unusually hard-working.

She would definitely not lose to Cang Ling Xue!

Her work had proceeded smoothly. The support behind her was strong so that she had enough advantages in the market when she started. For Hong Xiao who was used to working hard to gather weight in the darkness, her work could be described as easy.

But to her who had been in the darkness for a long time, she had an unusual intuition about danger.

"Give me last month's supplier prices," she said coldly.

The subordinates quickly searched. Last month's accounts quickly appeared on the mirage.

"Green Flower Wood, Sky Star Sand, Rainbow Dew, who is the supplier for these three materials?" she asked rapidly.

The subordinates were busy for a while. Moments later, they reported, "It is Bright Capital Business Association, in the past, it was Lin Fu Business Association."

"Bright Capital Business Association's price is fifteen percent higher than Lin Fu Business Association." Hong Xiao stared at her subordinate's face.

The subordinate explained, "Lin Fu Business Association has stopped working with us for a month and has refused to communicate with us. In order to avoid our supply chain breaking, we choose Bright Capital Business Association. Bright Capital Business Association is located far away and the cost of transporting is much higher. Also, due to the suddenness of the order, they are not prepared. Our order is large, and the timing is urgent so they had to raise the price in order to complete the purchase."

"Why did Lin Fu Business Association stop working with us?" Hong Xiao suddenly asked.

"I don't know." The subordinate shook their head. "They do not seen to be very stable internally. We cannot interfere in this kind of matter."

"Go investigate ... ..." Hong Xiao said briskly.

"That ... ... is not very appropriate ... ..." The subordinate was conflicted. It was an unspoken taboo in the mercantile circles to interfere in the matters of other businesses.

"Alright." Hong Xiao did not try to force the subordinate and said, "You may leave."

"Yes!" The subordinate sighed in relief and hurriedly retreated.

Hong Xiao did not leave. She focused and thought for a while before deciding to report the matter, adding on her own speculations and suggestions.

While the conclusion had not yet come out, she knew.

Someone was acting against them!

"Go investigate," she suddenly said.

In the dark corner, an imperceptible shadow disappeared.

Those subordinates cared too much about convention when working. For an experienced hand like her that had lived for many years in the world of the shadows, she only cared about results.

The methods were not important.

She believed that the higher-ups also thought this.

———

Cang Ling Xue's delicate brow creased as she listened to the report of the subordinate.

Cang Ling Xue worked hard. After being given a scare, she didn't dare to play any more tricks. Also, after the initial terror, she gradually adjusted to her new work. She quickly found that the strength of the faction was so great it was unimaginable. Only after a period of time did she realize the new faction she worked for was Mo Cloud Sea.

Of course she knew of Mo Cloud Sea.

In the yao world, everyone knew the name Mo Cloud Sea. This strong power, who did not have a lot of territory, but was strong and produced all kinds of talismans.

The yao did not have a habit of using talismans in the past. They used yao cores. But yao cores were rare and expensive. Yet, just a while ago, large amounts of yao cores that were suitable for yao started to appear on the market. Strangely, these yao cores were not natural, but synthetic.

There were only a rare few that knew that these forged yao cores were produced by Mo Cloud Sea. Cang Ling Xue who had been in business for many years was one of the rare few privy to this.

Mo Cloud Sea was like a riddle, powerful and mysterious.

Talismans, mo weapons, yao cores, their products were sold to all three races.

Even Tian Huan who was famed for their forging did not have the ability to produce three completely different types of weapons.

But Mo Cloud Sea did!

Too strong!

The rumors said the start of the shen power era had been initiated by the master of Mo Cloud Sea. The first pseudo-shen weapon had also been forged by the master of Mo Cloud Sea.

The last hint of unwillingness inside Cang Ling Xue disappeared at being able to be in the service of such a powerful faction. She was only curious. Why had Mo Cloud Sea picked her? She believed she had some talent, but for a large faction like Mo Cloud Sea, they had the ability to find someone better.

Even now, she did not understand this. But she understood that this was a chance for her, a great opportunity.

The business she had before was just a little business in an area. Right now, she managed a powerful faction that had the right to speak in all three realms. If she did well, she would definitely become a core member of Mo Cloud Sea in the near future. Undoubtedly, her family would rise as well.

Even though she had a competitor!

This did not demotivate her. While she did not have such a complex history as Hong Xiao, her growth had not been easy.

She did not fear competition.

Recently, the market had not been right. The price of shen equipment which had been rising constantly slowed in its rise, and in this month, a small drop had occurred.

This was definitely unusual.

Right now, there were only a few parties that had the ability to produce shen equipment. The one that sold best was Mo Cloud Shen Equipment due to the outstanding nature and the relatively low price. The Tian Huan shen equipment was also one of three major shen equipment but it was priced at almost twenty percent higher than Mo Cloud shen equipment. Kun Lun shen equipment was also outstanding in power, but their production was limited. It would take them a long time to just outfit their own forces.

The amount of Mo Cloud shen equipment on the market had greatly increased due to the large order from Xi Xuan.

From all the signs, it meant that in the long term, the price of shen equipment should remain high and not drop.

This unusual phenomenon, the fall in prices, immediately set off Cang Ling Xue's alarm.

Someone was fighting for the market!

———

Qing Xiao quickly familiarized himself with Zuo Mo and the group.

Gradually, Zuo Mo understood what had happened. The master of the Totem Coliseum had been the good friend of the Greenvine Tribe. When he designed the Totem Coliseum, a branch of the Greenvine Tribe had settled in the Summer Palace to guard the forest for him. Then they started to live here.

At regular intervals, the master of the Totem Coliseum would help draw out the wish power in their bodies.

Yet, unexpectedly, the master of the Totem Coliseum disappeared and the Totem Coliseum closed. The Greenvine Tribe branch that lived in the Summer Palace were trapped inside. Due to this, they managed to avoid the Battle of the Sealed Extinction.

But the wish power in the sunlight became the greatest enemy of the Greenvine Tribe. When the strongest of the tribe were here, everyone could manage to get by. As the strongest among them started to die, the Greenvine Tribe started to decrease in number.

Until now, where Qing Xiao was the only one left.

Maybe because he had lived in this environment from childhood that Qing Xiao could resist wish power to a certain degree. However, if Zuo Mo and the other had not appeared, in twenty years, Qing Xiao would also die from the corrosion of wish power.

At that time, this vibrant forest would also disappear with Qing Xiao's death.

Zuo Mo had to rejoice that he had come at this time.

Qing Xiao was lively, clever and innocent. Everyone liked him. This completely preserved forest had given him the best place to cultivate. The greenvine shen power he had was very pure. Other than become a completely deadweight in battle, his power astounded them.

That Green Pulse String that became especially scary in his hands. He seemed to innately know how to use the Green Pulse String. The long Green Pulse String was also unusually obedient. It was uncanny in his hands, unpredictable, and even the Ghost Mist Child was shocked.

With Qing Xiao here, walking out of the forest was very easy. Qing Xiao was familiar with every inch here, and did not find it difficult to lead them out of the forest.

Following Qing Xiao, the group quickly reached the edge of the forest.

An endless ocean and storm appeared in front of them.

Translator Ramblings: The market struggle has begun.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Ten – Awaken

The forest treeline ended abruptly, it was a clear dividing line.

On one side of the line was a dense forest, and on the other a great ocean. On one side was a bright sun and hot day, on the other a furious storm.

The clouds were black, and the curtain of rain carried hail that smashed into the ocean. The seawater was pulled up dozens of li into the air by the furious wind. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the space between the clouds and the water.

Everyone's expressions became serious. Everyone could feel the furious power contained within the storm.

Yet, except for charging forward, they had no other choice.

"Form the battle formation! Everyone, pay attention to the positions of those around you." Zuo Mo ordered. Then he grabbed Qing Xiao and turned to say to Zong Ru. "See if the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff can draw away the lightning."

Zong Ru nodded to indicate he understood. Everyone was trained and quickly finished the battle formation. Wei Sheng, Ceng Lian'er and the other experts entered the core positions.

In Mo Cloud Sea, no matter your skill level, you had battle formation training. Even Wei Sheng was not an exception. In Zuo Mo's view, the top experts that could merge into a battle formation were the ones that would be able to express their greatest power in large scale battles.

This was something he copied from the mo fighting methods. Among the mo, the battle general was the strongest. All the power would gather on the battle general who would then attack.

At Wei Sheng's level, he understood more about battle formations than the average battle generals he was more sensitive towards power and had stronger control.

Seeing the magnificent composition of this battle formation, Zuo Mo had some confidence. He said with bravado, "Go!"

The group headed into the storm.

Even though they had a guess, when they truly charged into the storm, that feeling was completely different!

Once they charged into the storm, they felt their vision darken. Their ears were filled with howling of the win and they could not hear anything else. The furious winds were like blades and caused sparks to fly when they hit the barrier of the battle formation. Rain and hail smashed down. The rain seemed to contain a certain corrosion ability. When the hail hit the light shield of the battle formation, it immediately spread outwards forming a patch of frost.

The power of the storm was endless. The people in the formation were like leaves flying in the wind, unable to stabilize themselves.

Light flashed in the clouds above them. Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning came out of the cloud layer and hit the battle formation.

Zong Ru who had been prepared raised his Three Manifestation Treasure Staff without any hesitation.

Hiss-crack-crack!

The thick lightning accurately hit the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff.

Zong Ru felt his hand become heavy from numbness. The round clear ball of the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff suddenly lit up with light. The lightning burrowed into the Thunder Source Hammer and the Thunder Source Hammer lit up with silverlight.

Zong Ru sighed in relief. The Three Manifestation Treasure Staff was strong!

At this time, the sky suddenly flickered. Zong Ru's expression changed slightly. Before he could react, hiss-crack-crack, three successive thick bolts of lightning hit his Three Manifestation Treasure Staff.

Zong Ru felt as though his chest was hit with a heavy hammer and gave a muffled grunt.

The Three Manifestation Treasure Staff was untouched. After swallowing four lightning bolts, the Thunder Source Hammer had an even brighter silver light. There was a layer of snapping electricity around it.

Zuo Mo seemed to be facing a great enemy. There was a strange power inside the raindrops that were battering the light shield of the battle formation.

The power of each rain droplet was small but it was a great storm outside. In every moment, there were uncountable droplets of rain that were hitting the light shield of the battle formation. Everyone's energies were being expended.

Adding on the hail!

Damn it!

Zuo Mo was anxious but not panicked.

Zong Ru had the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff for the lightning. Then what about the rain and the hail? His eyes suddenly lit up. How had he forgotten this?

With a flip of his hand, a tattered banner appeared on his hand. The Rain Commanding Banner!

Zuo Mo threw it to the Ghost Mist Child. "Do you know how to use this?"

The Ghost Mist Child had been thirsting after the Rain Commanding Banner. He had high affinity with the attributes of rain and this would be a suitable treasure for him. However, he knew that he was the newcomer and had not performed meritoriously. If he spoke up and asked for such a treasure, he would probably be beaten to death by Daren.

Hearing Zuo Mo ask if he could use it, he was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"

Even in the past, the Rain Commanding Banner had been a top ranked treasure!

Zuo Mo did not waste words and threw the Rain Commanding Banner to the Ghost Mist Child.

The Ghost Mist Child had not lied. When he waved the Rain Commanding Banner, the rain droplets outside seemed to be obedient and opened a path. Everyone felt the pressure on them lessen. The corrosiveness of the rain droplets had been the greatest burden on their endurance. Now that it was gone, they all felt light.

"Nice! You have some skill!" Zuo Mo praised with surprised on his face.

The Ghost Mist Child puffed up his chest and stomach with a proud expression. However, with his child-like appearance, it looked ridiculous. But while he felt proud, he said humbly, "It is this Rain Commanding Banner that is easy to use."

Zuo Mo said generously, "Oh, not bad, the Rain Commanding Banner belongs to you now, do not waste a treasure like this!"

The Ghost Mist Child was stunned by this free food that fell from the sky. With his daze, the rain droplets started to hit the battle formation's light shield.

"Work hard!" Zuo Mo swore, glaring. "If you cannot do good work, this will be taken back!"

"Ah!" The Ghost Mist Child seemed to wake up and hugged the Rain Commanding Banner with an expression of panic. He hurriedly said, "I'll work hard! I will definitely work hard!"

The pressure lessened again.

Zuo Mo sighed softly. He ignored this guy, he didn't have a good head. The lightning and the storm had both been resolved. The only things left were the hail and the strong wind. Sparks flashed and disappeared on the light shield, circles of frost forming and disappearing.

Resisting this was not a great expenditure for the battle formation.

But who knew how large this ocean was?

There were no problems in maintain the battle formation for five days. Ten days, it would be hard to manage. Fifteen days, it would be at the limits. Over fifteen days ... ...

Zuo Mo asked Qing Xiao, "Have you come here before?"

"No." Qing Xiao obediently shook his head. There was no fear on his face as he looked with curiosity at the rain outside.

Zuo Mo was slightly disappointed. He gritted his teeth. There were no solutions. They could only charge forward.

After flying for ten days in the storm, there were no signs they were leaving the storm. They had tried to fly towards the clouds. If they were above the clouds, there would not be a storm. Yet when they went close to the cloud layer, countless lightning and thunder would smash towards them preventing them from ascending.

That scene cared all of them. They did not hesitate to fly down. No one had seen such packed lightning and thunder. Even Zong Ru who held the Three Manifestation Treasures Staff would end up as dust under such terrifying lightning.

Helpless, they could only move through the storm.。

Seeing the undisguised exhaustion on everyone's faces, Zuo Mo knew that they had to rest.

"Everyone, stop for a while."

Zuo Mo called for everyone to stop and then took out a palm-sized city from his ring.

[King's Forbidden City]!

The King's Forbidden City grew rapidly in the sky and in a blink, covered everyone.

In this moment, everyone felt the world had become quiet. The roaring had stopped. They seemed to be in a completely different world. The furious roars of the wind, the rain, and ice were outside while this place was peaceful. The mysterious and complex seal scripts that flashed in the sky above the city made everyone feel strangely safe.

Their nerves had been tensed for ten days. Everyone was tired. Once they had the chance to breathe, they sat down and started to replenish their shen power.

Zuo Mo's power was quickly recovering. Inside the King's Forbidden Firmament, his recovery was faster than any other person.

This chance to breath was really too precious.

Zuo Mo rejoiced that he had not forgotten about the King's Forbidden Firmament.

In these past years, Zuo Mo had spent time organizing his memories. He had uncovered some memory fragments hidden deep in his mind. The city of his childhood had been filled out in his mind, and he had reforged the King's Forbidden Firmament.

With his deeper understanding of seal formations and enough materials, the newly forged King's Forbidden Firmament was more secure than before and stronger.

He had reforged the King's Forbidden Firmament as a memento of his blurry memories. Even though he had reforged the King's Forbidden Firmament, a talisman like this could not be of direct help to him like a shen device.

He hadn't through this memento of his childhood memories could save his life.

Zuo Mo grimaced and a complex emotion rose.

He turned around to look. Most of the places in the city were the exact same as his memories. This was the first time he entered the King's Forbidden Firmament since it had been reforged.

This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling was unspeakably strange.

He shook his head and laughed self-mockingly. He had actually the spare time to lament.

At this time, he suddenly noticed the strangeness of A Gui next to him.

A Gui suddenly stood up.

"A Gui, what is it?" Zuo Mo was slightly nervous and quickly followed.

A Gui did not seem to hear. She walked along a small path slowly. Her eyes were not empty any longer, but puzzled.

A Gui's steps were slow and a ripple finally appeared on her forever emotionless face.

Zuo Mo became worried.

A Gui seemed very familiar with this place. She walked silently, and her expression became wooden again.

Zuo Mo seemed to understand. It must be that A Gui still had some memory fragments. The familiar environment of the King's Forbidden Firmament had awakened a part of her memories.

A Gui seemed to be very familiar with this place and after some twists and turns, she came to a small yard.

Her hand was placed on the door, and she pushed it open.

Zuo Mo stilled. This yard ... ... this little yard ... ...

A slightly blurry scene appeared in front of him.

———

"Gui Gui, this name isn't pleasing to hear," the little boy muttered, his hands not slowing at all.

The little girl tilted her head. "Gui Gui feels that it is very good!"

"Why do you work so hard on something as boring as cultivation?' The little boy had an expression of puzzlement as he carefully treated the wounds on the little girl's feet.

The little girl teared up due to the pain, and her voice carried a sob. However, she was unusually determined. "Because only by getting stronger can I protect Young Mater."

"This place is very safe. I don't need to be protect. I don't like to go out." The little boy's head shook like a rattledrum.

"But what if there is a day?' The little girl tilted her head.

———

"Young Master ... ..."

A slightly wooden and hoarse voice sounded by his ear, just like when in their childhood, he he ... ... he was having delusions ... ...

Zuo Mo felt uncomfortable and gave a short huff to expel the melancholy he felt.

He raised his head and met a pair of purple eyes.

Zuo Mo was dumbstruck where he stood.

Translator Ramblings: Miniscule improvement!

Chapter Eight Hundred and Eleven – Tian Huan's Attack From All Fronts

Tian Huan!

When the results of the investigations came out, both Hong Xiao and Cang Ling Xue recognized the severity of the matter and immediately reported it.

Tian Huan was attacking Mo Cloud Sea on the market from all directions. Many of the materials suppliers that were close with Mo Cloud Sea were forced to stop their partnerships with Mo Cloud Sea under the pressure of Tian Huan.

This caused a break in Mo Cloud Sea's supply chain of materials.

In terms of shen equipment, Tian Huan started to widely advertise the Tian Huan shen equipment and also lowered their prices. The factions that had placed orders from Mo Cloud Sea all turned to thrown themselves into Tian Huan's arms due to Tian Huan's pressure and temptation.

The sale volume of Mo Cloud shen equipment decreased as a direct result, and the cost to make Mo Cloud shen equipment was drastically rising.

One important reason that Mo Cloud Sea's shen equipment had gotten a good reputation so quickly was Tian Huan's inaction. For so many years, Tian Huan had become used to people coming begging to their door. In the xiuzhe world, no sect dared to compete with them in forging.

The present Tian Huan, after Chief Elder's warning, started to reflect on their actions.

If Mo Cloud Sea could only be called nouveau riche, then Tian Huan was definitely the hegemon of the market. For thousands of years, Tian Huan had been at the top of this market. After thousands of years, their tentacles reached into every corner of the xiuzhe market. The reputation they had, their resources, manpower, connections, they were something that Mo Cloud Sea that had just risen up could compare to.

Before this, Tian Huan had never looked properly at Mo Cloud Sea. In their eyes, Mo Cloud Sea was not on the same level as them.

Tian Huan had paid a great price for their pride.

But Tian Huan woke up. They climbed down off their pedestal, and started to be proactive in the market. This kind of Tian Huan was astounding in its strength.

The entire market turned into a storm.

Tian Huan showed their fangs. In this field they had worked in for thousands of years, even Kun Lun could not match them. They were too familiar with what to do. There was no secret in their eyes.

Tian Huan's attack was even fiercer than Mo Cloud Sea imagined.

In just a fortnight, almost forty percent of material suppliers stopped their partnership with Mo Cloud Sea and sided with Tian Huan.

This happened so quickly that Mo Cloud Sea didn't even have time to react.

The production of shen equipment was forced to stop.

Mo Cloud Sea was facing unprecedented danger.

———

In the sea of consciousness, Pu Yao and Wei had grave expressions.

The danger that Mo Cloud Sea faced had been passed to Pu Yao from the Ten Finger Prison. Pu Yao and Wei were intelligent people and they immediately realized the level of trouble this indicated.

They hadn't thought that Tian Huan would really lower themselves to fight for market share with Mo Cloud Sea. Also, they were both shocked at Tian Huan's strength in the market.

Mo Cloud Sea's transportation formations had been previously affected and there were only a few that were in use. The supply of materials had been a problem. What Tian Huan did pushed Mo Cloud Sea onto a precipice.

Many materials were not high level, but they were used in large amounts. If they could not be replenished, shen equipment was not the only thing that stopped. Xi Xuan could provide materials, but not all materials could be transported from Xi Xuan. Due to internal chaos, many places in Xi Xuan had stopped production.

Tian Huan's move was both fast and vicious!

The stoppage of shen equipment also affected Xi Xuan because Mo Cloud Sea could not complete the order before the discussed time.

Pu Yao and Wei were both clear-headed. They knew that Tian Huan's attack would not just be so. If they were Tian Huan, they would definitely be sending people to Xi Xuan right now.

Mo Cloud Sea had shen equipment, Tian Huan also had shen equipment. They had more production capacity than Mo Cloud Sea. Tian Huan was much stronger.

Also, once Tian Huan threw out the lure of an alliance, Xi Xuan wouldn't have any ability to resist.

Tian Huan was stronger than Mo Cloud Sea. Once Tian Huan gave up on the thought of attacking Xi Xuan, for Xi Xuan, they would be better allies than Mo Cloud Sea.

Tian Huan was more powerful!

At that time, Mo Cloud Sea would be in danger!

Surrounded by three strong factions!

It was really being surrounded in all directions. Even the Nine Great Dhyana Sects with its internal conflict could not stop the alliance of three powers. They would face the danger of being divided up. Even if Mo Cloud Sea and the Nine Great Dhyana Sects allied together, they would not be able to stop the three from advancing.

At that time, the Nine Great Dhyana Sect would have to switch sides in order to survive.

When it came to that step, Mo Cloud Sea would only have the path of death.

Tian Huan really thought highly of Mo Cloud Sea!

Pu Yao and Wei stared at each other, bitterness in their mouths.

Mo Cloud Sea was in danger!

———

Chao Xin took a sip of wine. His expression was relaxed. "Tian Huan's move is beautiful, an open conspiracy, a truly public conspiracy. They hit Mo Cloud Sea right on their weakness, Mo Cloud Sea is in danger."

Lin Qian smiled and said, "It seems that we will get peace for a while. Cooperate with Tian Huan and have the battalions on Xi Xuan's borders move back, let Xi Xuan relax."

The two were in good moods.

Compared to the declining Xi Xuan, the lively Mo Cloud Sea was the eyesore in Kun Lun's eyes. Mo Cloud Sea was unstoppable in the mo territories, and showed great offensive power which caused all of Kun Lun to be uneasy.

If Tian Huan's strategy was completed, then a situation where three strong forces attacking Mo Cloud Sea would form.

Mo Cloud Sea would not be able to escape even if it had wings.

No one had thought that the seemingly powerful Mo Cloud Sea had such a fatal weakness. Tian Huan's successive attacks exposed Mo Cloud Sea's weakness to the world.

Mo Cloud Sea was too small!

From the viewpoint of safety, this was more beneficial for defense. However, for a faction with forging at its core, this was undoubtedly fatal. Once the supply of materials was cut off, they would end up in a dangerous position.

Battalions, battle generals, they were all useless at this point.

This was another battlefield.

Chao Xin's mind shifted and another plan formed. "We can have the people from the Nine Great Dhyana Sects make a fuss, and urge the other five sects. Tian Huan would also do the same, they also have people inside."

"This idea is good." Lin Qian's eyes lit up. "Those people people will be forced to stay neutral at such a time to not offend either side."

"Neutrality is enough." A cold light flashed through Chao Xin's eyes. "Neutrality at this time is making things worse for Mo Cloud Sea!"

"Mo Cloud Sea will not be able to escape this time!" Lin Qian said, and his expression became excited.

Mo Cloud Sea was his great worry!

———

"Tian Huan's envoy went to see the sect leader," the subordinate reported in a low voice.

Zhong De's scar-covered face was like granite. "What did they say?"

The first person that Tian Huan's envoy came to see was Zhong De. However, Zhong De had refused the meeting. Zhong De was an experienced person. This person came to Xi Xuan yet the first he met with was not the sect leader but Zhong De. Their intentions were malicious, wanting to spark internal discord.

If the sect leader didn't know that he only had three years left to live, it would be hard for him not to become suspicious at this time.

"They said that Mo Cloud Sea will not be able to finish the remaining shen equipment and they are willing to provide shen equipment." The subordinate reported in detail, "They said that these shen equipment have been specially designed by them for Xi Xuan. Also, they are willing to sign an alliance agreement with us to not fight. Also, if Kun Lun invades Xi Xuan, Tian Huan will definitely announce war against Kun Lun. This agreement is for ten years."

Zhong De had people around the sect leader and naturally learned all this.

"And then?" Zhong De is expressionless.

"The sect leader did not respond and said to meet again in a few days," the subordinate said.

"Sect Leader has been persuaded," Zhong De said coolly.

As expected by Zhong De, on that night, the sect leader came to Zhong De's camp.

"What does Uncle Zhong think about Xi Xuan allying with Tian Huan?" the sect leader did not waste words and headed straight into the topic.

The matter of buying shen equipment was a minor matter.

"What does Sect Leader think?" Zhong De asked expressionlessly in response.

The sect leader said, "I feel that this may work. We allied with Mo Cloud Sea to guard against Kun Lun and Tian Huan. If we ally with Tian Huan, it is undoubtedly more beneficial and we can gain ten years of peace."

Zhong De listened expressionlessly, but he was slightly surprised inside. He had originally thought the other would be bewitched by the envoy and hadn't thought that the sect leader also foresaw that the alliance would only survive for ten years.

"If we have ten years, our Xi Xuan will be able to recover. This way, we may be able to vie for the world!" A hint of excitement flashed through the sect leader's eyes.

Ten years!

If he had ten years, the sect leader was confident that Xi Xuan could rise again based on their foundations. At that time, without Zhong De, he would be in power alone ... ...

A hint of disdain flashed through Zhong De's eyes. However, the excited sect leader did not notice it.

"I do not agree," Zhong De said slowly.

It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on the sect leader's head. He was stunned where he stood, looking dazedly at Zhong De. A moment later, he asked in disbelief, "Why does Uncle Zhong not agree?"

He didn't understand why Uncle Zhong would not agree. He said urgently, "Uncle Zhong, are you afraid that they will break the alliance? They said that they are willing to make a sect leader oath."

The oath of a sect leader was something that could not be broken for any sect. Because once the sect leader oath was broken, all of the sect would be affected. The xiuzhe of the entire sect would be weakened in power.

In history, there had never been an example of a sect leader oath being broken.

"I do not agree." Zhong De said expressionlessly and then turned to leave.

The sect leader of Xi Xuan was dumbstruck where he stood.

———

"Daren, why do you not agree?" Zhong De's subordinate asked in puzzlement. He had helped Zhong De guard the Abyss Fiend Prison for many years, and was highly trusted by Zhong De.

He felt it was strange. From every angle, allying with Tian Huan was beneficial for Xi Xuan.

Zhong De seemed to not hear it. Like stone, he gazed at the distant darkness.

Translator Ramblings: The resilience of Mo Cloud Sea is that even if Zuo Mo isn't present, things still work because he has capable people working under him.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twelve – The Chief Tower

Zuo Mo and A Gui stared into each other's eyes.

A Gui's wooden face moved stiffly. Her misty eyes seemed to focus. The feeling that Zuo Mo felt when he saw A Gui's eyes recover life under his gaze could not be described!

For some reason, a strong warmth filled his heart, and his nose felt sore.

Was this fate?

Zuo Mo looked dazedly at A Gui, and allowed the tears to fall.

"Young Master ... ..."

A hand reached towards his face and wiped his tears for him. A Gui's eyes glowed like the brightest of stars, and her murmurs the most beautiful music in the world

"Young Master, don't cry ... ... A Gui will forever protect Young Master ... ..."

The young female's voice carried a thread of rawness and clumsiness but it was filled with her innocent heart just like in their childhood.

Zuo Mo felt as though he could not control his emotions. Tears blurred his vision. He tried to grin, to make himself look like he was smiling. He used his hands to roughly wipe away the tears on his face. Looking at the figure of the young female in his sight that was still slightly blurry, he said loudly, "Nonsense! Do not underestimate your young master! Now it is time for Young Master to protect you! I'm telling you, Young Master is very very strong now! Kun Lun, Tian Huan, they will be beaten like dogs by your young master!"

A Gui looked serenely at Zuo Mo, her lively nimble eyes filling with warmth and faint bashfulness.

There was nothing that motivated Zuo Mo more than A Gui's awakening.

Zuo Mo felt as though he was full of energy and power. If Lin Qian was in front of him, he would carry the Anti Dragon Claw and howl as he beat Lin Qian like a dog.

Having broken free of the Undying Shen Punishment's restrictions, A Gui's strength reached an astounding power.

Zuo Mo asked A Gui how she had broken free of the Undying Shen Punishment. A Gui had a puzzled expression. It had been too long since A Gui spoke. As a result, in both expression and speech, she was slightly stiff.

As long as A Gui was free ... ...

So happy he was about to go insane, Zuo Mo was like a wasteland beast filled with energy and unprecedented motivation. He wanted to tear down this entire ocean.

However, not everyone was wasteland beast. Everyone needed to meditate to recover shen power.

Three days later, Wei Sheng Shixiong opened his eyes. Following him, Ceng Lian'er, Luo Li and the others also opened their eyes. By the time everyone had recovered, five days had passed.

When everyone saw A Gui smiling and standing bashfully next to Zuo Mo, they were astounded.

Was this the same brutal, ruthless, and cold-blooded A Gui?

The strong reversal in personality shocked them for a long time before they recovered. Only the Little Ones came over without hesitation, still close to A Gui.

The seal scripts in the sky above the King's Forbidden City were much fainter. After being continuously attacked for five days, their expenditure was astounding.

However, this kind of consumption was worth it. Everyone's shen power had recovered to their maximum, and this caused them to be full of confidence.

Zuo Mo who had been waiting impatiently waved his arm. "Let's go!"

Everyone formed the formation again and travelled between the storm.

Everyone had learned from the previous experience and were more skilled at passing through the storm.

They flew for seven days.

Suddenly, Zuo Mo's eyes lit up. He pointed forward and shouted, "Look, there!"

Through the rain and hail, they saw a small black dot in the distance. Everyone became refreshed and they sped up.

When they flew closer, the blurry shadow became clear. It was a set of bronze gates. The gates stood alone above the ocean. The surroundings were calm winds and bright sun. A ray of sunlight travelled through the dark clouds and shone off the bronze gates.

They were finally about to leave this damned place!

Everyone was excited. Who would have thought that they had suffered for twenty three days in this body of water!

Twenty three days!

When they passed through the storm and flew in front of the copper door, everyone had a smile on their face.

Pushing open the bronze gates, a long passageway appeared in front of them.

Everyone was on alert and carefully entered the passageway. Unexpectedly, there were no defenses in the passageway. However, the passageway was longer than they imagined. They walked for a long time before they saw light up ahead.

Flying out of the passageway, a tall tower that reached the clouds appeared in front of them.

"Up there!" The Ghost Mist Child shouted joyfully, "This is the Chief Tower! The shen device nucleus is up there!"

Hearing this, everyone was energized. Zuo Mo said unhesitatingly, "Let's go up!"

The group flew upwards.

The Chief Tower was tall, so tall it surpass imagination. They flew through the astral wind and still hadn't reached the top of the Chief Tower. Flying upwards like this took a great amount of shen power.

None of them had flown so high before.

Everyone's expression became solemn.

Soon, the weakest guards slowed down. They panted and didn't have the energy to fly upwards. They were about five to six hundred li from the ground. While they had strong minds, they couldn't help but pale.

Even flying with a sword, no one would fly so high.

The wind was like knives.

The higher it was, the stronger the wind.

Zuo Mo saw this and said, "Go down, and wait for us below."

Finishing, they continued to fly up.

The wind high up became even strong. Zuo Mo and the others had to use shen power. The wind created sparks when it hit their protective shields. The wind here was packed. From afar, the group looked like a swarm of meteors flying upwards and drawing a tail of sparks behind them.

The faster they passed through, the sooner they would be safe.

Everyone gathered their power and furiously headed upwards.

Boom!

Everyone suddenly felt the pressure ease. The sparks around them all disappeared. They had passed through the wind layer!

Everyone looked down curiously. The wind layer was extremely thick. Anyone weak would be torn to pieces by the strong wind high up.

Zuo Mo and the others possessed strength but if there was no matter, no one would be so bored as to take a stroll in the strong wind layer.

Void, endless void. In this void, the sun and the stars appeared together. Everyone was attracted by the wondrous scene in front of them. So in the sky up high, it was like this.

Without the wind, everyone's worries were eased.

They raised their heads. They still could not see the top of the Chief Tower. Everyone inhaled in shock.

"Continue the charge!" Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and flew out along the Chief Tower. The others did not hesitate and followed closely. They continued to fly upwards.

Yet everyone was filled with shock. A tower that was ten thousand li tall!

What great work of labour was this!

How strong had the creator of the Totem Coliseum been?

Fifteen thousand li!

When they flew to a height of fifteen thousand li, everyone finally saw the enormous shadow covering them. That top of the tower was enormous. Everyone became nervous. Even Wei Sheng had a slightly nervous expression. The power represented by a tower fifteen thousand li tall surpassed any sect.

No one knew what was at the top of the tower.

But at this time, no one would retreat.

"Everyone, be careful." Zuo Mo's nerves were also tensed.

Everyone slowed down as though they were facing a great enemy. They slowly flew towards the outskirts. The are Ao Feng the tower was enormous. They had to fly to the edges of the tower top in order to get to the top of the tower.

When everyone flew to the edges of the tower top and then flew upwards, they stretched out their necks.

They were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

This was an enormous and flat stage, a large stage that could hold tens of thousands of people sleeping on the ground. The ground was as smooth as a mirror without any marks. It was smoothly polished as though it was a piece of stone that had been cut open in the middle.

Star lights in the billions gathered on the stage that turned into a thick pillar of light that shot towards the center of the stage.

When they flew up, what they saw was this mirror-smooth stage and a pillar of star light that ung down from the firmament. Star power, counted in the billions, were mostly as thin as hair or invisible to sight. Only a few of the stars formed faint rays of light that came down.

But when these minuscule rays of light gathered in the billions, it was astounding strong!

Zuo Mo was the first to recover from the astounding scene. He could feel the thick power of the stars from far away but his obsession with treasure caused him to quickly refocus!

There was something in the thick pillar of star light!

"There's something in the pillar!" Zuo Mo shouted. Everyone seemed to wake up and stared at the pillar. There was something flickering in and out of view inside the pillar of star light.

The scene in front of them was so stunning. Every piece represented terrifyingly great power.

Chief Tower, the mirror stage, the pillar of star light!

All of them were masterworks, and needed uncanny skill.

So terrifying.

Seeing their goal in sight, the reverence they felt did not decrease but increased. If someone this powerful set up jinzhi, if they just touched it, they would most likely turn into dust.

Everyone was experienced and knew that at times like this, they had to be even more careful. Looking at the distance, Zuo Mo's mind shifted, and he turned to ask Qing Xiao for the Green Pulse String.

The Green Pulse String was long enough to reach it without stepping on the stage.

There were too many strange things about this stage. If he didn't have to step on it, it was better not to.

Zuo Mo's wrist shook and the Green Pulse String shot towards the central pillar of the stage like a nimble snake.

A strange feeling came from the other end. Zuo Mo was overjoyed.

It worked!

Gritting his teeth, Zuo Mo ignored everything else. The Green Pulse String was pulled, and it shot back at him with what was inside the pillar of light.

Boom!

Zuo Mo's action seemed to have poked the hornet's nest.

The pillar of star light responded to the disappearance of the thing inside. It melted like snow from the end of the pillar of light.

Zuo Mo and the others that were afraid of the effects had moved away long ago.

Crack crack crack!

The surface of the mirror started to crack. Terrifying cracks appeared on the stage.

Boom-om-om!

The cracking did not show any signs of stopping. It headed down destructively along the Chief Tower.

Under the wide gazes and open mouths of Zuo Mo's group, this tall tower that was fifteen thousand li tall cracked inch by inch and collapsed!

Translator Ramblings: Nooooooooooo, all that free stuff!

Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirteen – Allies

When Zuo Mo's group escaped from the ruins, the ruins behind them had completely collapsed. Shattered fragments of stone flew and floated in air as though they were weightless.

The stones stretched out for thousands of li and looked like a thick and low-hanging cloud.

The Lotus Sutra Temple disciples that had been waiting near the ruins were stunned by the sudden collapse.

Lotus Sutra Temple's sect leader changed expression. The scene in front of her was too astounding. Had Zuo Mo encountered great danger? The more she thought, the uglier her expression became. At this time, if something happened to Zuo Mo, Mo Cloud Sea was over. Unlike other sects, Lotus Sutra Temple did not have many choices left to them. Lotus Sutra Temple had just burned their ties with Kun Lun and Tian Huan could only live if they sided with Mo Cloud Sea.

She might have regrets, but she was not an ordinary person. She knew that saving the other was her only choice as Mo Cloud Sea was in great danger at thi moment. She was already tied with Mo Cloud Sea, prospering and declining together.

Aftering learning that Mo Cloud Sea lacked materials, she had transported a batch of materials to Mo Cloud Sea.

But Lotus Sutra Temple was too small, and did not have any outstanding abilities to produce materials. The other sects, afraid of Tian Huan, did not sell materials to her.

The sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple was burning in urgency but Zuo Mo and the other had not come out. She waited outside the entrance of the ruins in order to see Zuo Mo as soon as possible.

When the sect leader saw the figures of Zuo Mo and the others, she finally sighed in relief.

"Let's go!" she said urgently.

Zuo Mo saw the urgency of the sect leader and immediately realized that something must have happened. "What is it?"

"We'll speak on the way." The sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple flew out first.

Seeing this, Zuo Mo did not linger and followed immediately. Everyone else knew that something had happened and the mood of the group became heavy.

When Zuo Mo heard the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple explaining the situation, his heart continued to sink. He immediately ran into the sea of consciousness and asked when he found Pu Yao and Wei. "Why didn't you tell me?" He knew that Pu Yao definitely knew long ago. With Pu Yao's strength, he was able to connect to the Ten Finger Prison from within the ruins.

"What's the use in telling you?" Pu Yao snorted.

Zuo Mo was speechless, unable to think of a response. He had been in the ruins surrounded by danger at the time. If he had been distracted even in the slightest, then he would have died in the ruins.

Zuo Mo relaxed his tone, his brow creased, "What solutions do you have?"

"These are the suggestions that Hong Xiao and Cang Ling Xue gave us." Pu Yao threw over a ball of light.

Zuo Mo received it and countless words flew through his mind.

Hong Xiao and Cang Ling Xue's suggestions were to the point. First was to push out stronger shen equipment to increase Mo Cloud Sea's fame. Second was to see if they could advertise shen equipment to the mo and the yao. Mo Cloud shen equipment was most suitable for Mo Cloud system shen power, and was the primary shen equipment of Mo Cloud Sea. However, the mo shen power and the yao shen power were completely different. If they could make shen equipment of these two types, it would definitely be welcomed. Third was to attempt to purchase materials from the mo and yao realms. This way, they could avoid the sanctions of Tian Huan. Fourth was to increase ling farming on the forty four newly conquered jie to increase production of materials.

Zuo Mo read through carefully and was slightly reassured. It had to be said that these suggestions were all good. If they could follow these suggestions, they could break Tian Huan's monopoly of the xiuzhe world. Right now, Mo Cloud Sea had expanded to one hundred and thirteen jie. While this could not compare to Kun Lun and Tian Huan, it could be considered large.

"Follow these suggestions, have Golden Crow Camp start work." Zuo Mo thought of Golden Crow Camp and then suddenly thought of Xi Xuan's astounding large shen equipment order. Based on the present situation, the order was in danger ... ...

Wait!

Xi Xuan!

Zuo Mo's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly realized that the crux of the entire matter was not all the supplies, but Xi Xuan's alliance! From the breakdowning in the supply chain, stealing their market share, all of this was like a chain tightening on their necks. While they would feel suffocated, it would not be immediately fatal.

What was truly fatal was a change in Xi Xuan's attitude!

Xi Xuan was the most important point. If Xi Xuan sided with the enemy, they would immediately be surrounded on three sides! The first to fall would be the Nine Great Dhyana Sects. The five sects that were still resisting now would have to submit to Kun Lun and Tian Huan.

Would Xi Xuan change sides!

Zuo Mo's head was a mess. He was one of the few that knew that Zhong De only had three years left to live! Would Xi Xuan change sides? If Kun Lun and Tian Huan agreed to an alliance, then definitely! If they allied with Kun Lun and Tian Huan, they could follow the two factions and divide the Nine Great Dhyana Sects and Mo Cloud Sea. The declining Xi Xuan might be able to turn the situation around. He could see this, and he didn't believe that Xi Xuan couldn't see it.

Damn it!

Zuo Mo's expression became ugly.

Finding a remote location, the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple said, "Yuan Hao said for you to immediately contact him after coming out."

Zuo Mo took a deep breath. He knew that the more urgent the situation, the more he had to remain calm.

———

"Tian Huan made a great move!" Gu Liang Dao shook his head and said, his expression worried, "This time, Brother Zuo is probably in trouble."

Shuang Yu's expression was also serious. He said, "Is there no way of solving this?"

Xiao was at the side with a terrible expression.

"The crux is Xi Xuan." Gu Liang Dao's face imperceptibly twitched. These two words would always easily pierce his heart. The twitch was so minute that even Shuang Yu didn't detect it. Gu Liang Dao's expression was dark but his tone calmed. "Zhong De only has three years, more accurately, slightly more than two years. Without Zhong De's support, the death of Xi Xuan is just a matter of time. The people from Xi Xuan can definitely see this. If they ally with Tian Huan, this is a rare chance for Xi Xuan."

Shuang Yu was slightly puzzled. Mo Cloud Sea who had seemed to be prospering just a few days ago seemed to be suddenly surrounded by enemies, and was also at the end of its tether!

"Send materials to Mo Cloud Sea, as much as we have," Gu Liang Dao said.

Xiao did not waste words. "Yes!" He said rapidly. "We also have some extra money and can buy some materials."

"Send them all!" Gu Liang Dao waved his hand.

Xiao nodded. He didn't speak and turned to leave quickly.

Shuang Yu raised his face to look at Gu Liang Dao.

"While it is minuscule, we should do as much as we are able." Gu Liang Dao had a determined expression. "No matter if it is for the common good or for ourselves, we cannot watch as Mo Cloud Sea falls."

A light flashed through Shuang Yu's eyes. "What are we going to do?"

He was unusually respectful of his brother. Seeing Gu Liang Dao's spirited expression, he was similarly fearless. This was also why he followed Gu Liang Dao and did not stay at Xi Xuan.

"Kill Tian Huan!" Gu Liang Dao's gaze was sharp as he said.

———

In the mirage, Yang Yuan Hao had a tired expression. The pressure he had been under in this period of time was unimaginable. The five large sects that had been of one mind began to have differing opinions after seeing Tian Huan's fierce attacks and Mo Cloud Sea's dilemma.

Compared to the fighting on the battlefield, internal fighting made his mind feel even more tired.

"Brother Zuo, you have been well since we last met." Even at this time, Yang Yuan Hao's speech and conduct was flawless. His handsome face recovered its usual calm.

"It is not well, it is great trouble." Zuo Mo grimaced.

Yang Yuan Hao grinned but his expression quickly became stern. "The situation is truly terrible. According to the information new got, Tian Huan's envoys have already reached Xi Xuan. The conditions they set are very detrimental to us."

"What conditions?" Zuo Mo asked.

"Sect leader oath for a defensive pact. Tian Huan will have a duty to help Xi Xuan fend off other attacks. In other words, if Xi Xuan is attacked, Tian Huan will have to announce war on the other. For ten years!" Yang Yuan Hao's expression was terrible.

Zuo Mo was not too surprised. Tian Huan had been so fierce in their opening moves, how could their killing move be soft? He laughed. "Tian Huan really thinks highly of Mo Cloud Sea, they are willing to pay the price of not touching Xi Xuan for ten years."

"Yes! Tian Huan has an expert directing them." Yang Yuan Hao nodded and a hint of admiration flashed through his eyes. "But I have to admit that their move is beautiful, and we are very discomforted."

Zuo Mo asked, "How's the situation on your side?"

"Not very good!" Yang Yuan Hao shook his head. "They are fighting a lot. The majority are remaining neutral, these short-sighted people!"

Having this proven, Zuo Mo was even more calm. This was within his prediction.

"What do you plan on doing?" Yang Yuan Hao looked at Zuo Mo.

He was filled with curiosity. Facing such a situation, what would Zuo Mo, who had produce miracles, do?

From a long time ago, he had paid attention secretly to the master of Mo Cloud Sea who did not seem very outstanding. In his view, the rise of Mo Cloud Sea was a spectacular legend yet was reliant on chance. But there was a person that attracted his attention, the master of Mo Cloud Sea, Zuo Mo.

Examining Zuo Mo's history, he found to his shock that Zuo Mo had never truly lost. Zuo Mo was like an undying juggernaut. He would also successfully flip the situation when people thought that all hope was lost, and would take a bite of the richest spoils!

One time was luck, but multiple times, that was not luck.

So when Yang Yuan Hao found that Mo Cloud Sea was in an unprecedented situation, he was under pressure but he was also curious.

In such a terrible situation, what would Zuo Mo do?

"What would you choose?" Zuo Mo suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Me?" Yang Yuan Hao had a surprised expression. He perceptively detected the importance of Zuo Mo's sentence. Zuo Mo said "you" and not "your side."

"Yes, you!" Zuo Mo emphasized the word "you." He looked directly at Yang Yuan Hao and said calmly, "Your situation is bad as well. After this matter, discord will have been sown. There will be a divide between the five great sects. Just relying on Thunder Sound Temple and Lotus Sutra Temple, you cannot do a thing. They can side with Tian Huan or Kun Lun, but what will you do?"

"Siding with them is not a bad matter." Yang Yuan Hao shrugged.

"And then?" Zuo Mo stared at him, each word hitting his heart. "You will be marginalized, then alongside the rest of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects, become cannon fodder for Tian Huan and Kun Lun. Don't say it won't happen, you understand them as well. Their traditions are deeply rooted, they are strong internally. You will never be able to squeeze into their inner circle. To them are there any cannon fodder better than you?"

The speech caused Yang Yuan Hao's expression to shift, and the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple behind Zuo Mo seemed to make a decision.

"At least, I will live longer." Yang Yuan Hao raised his head and shot back, "Worry about yourself first and about how to stay alive!"

Zuo Mo did not speak but just a cold and sharp smile.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Fourteen – Hostage

"He's crazy! He wants to pull us all down with him to the grave!" Xi Xuan Sect Leader's furious shriek echoed in the secret room. He almost could not believe that Zhong De had unexpectedly refused to ally with Tian Huan. He really could not imagine any reason that Zhong De would have!

Didn't he know that he would only live for two more years?

Or because he knew he would not be living for long, he wanted to have everyone die with him? This madman! Yes, this was definitely it!

The sect leader of Xi Xuan was filled with terror. This madman could do anything now. If he wanted everyone to die with him, then he would definitely do it!

Why?

The sect leader of Xi Xuan could not understand. But in his eyes, Zhong De was a madman, one that could do anything.

Originally, he had hid his strength and bided his time. All of the things he done, he did not conceal from Zhong De because he knew that Zhong De only had three years left to live. Xi Xuan would end up his in the end. Even if the Tian Huan envoys visited Zhong De first, he was displeased but he kept his calm.

Without Zhong De, Xi Xuan would immediately collapse.

What he was most worried about was not Zhong De's in power, but what would happen to Xi Xuan after Zhong De died? He was furiously searching for young talent. He hoped to find a successor to Zhong De. His fear of death gnawed at his soul day and night, and he woke up countless times from nightmares.

Suddenly, Tian Huan had caused him to see ten years of peace!

A whole ten years!

He did not have to live in fright all the time. Ten years! He would have enough time to slowly search and uncover new geniuses. Xi Xuan was a large sect, how could they not have geniuses? If he had enough time, he could do it.

At that time, he would be the true master of Xi Xuan, the true sect leader of Xi Xuan!

But this hope that came from the hope was smashed ruthlessly by Zhong De, that bloodthirsty madman.

"Sect Leader, this is a rare opportunity!" A confidant of the sect leader, Ban Xia, came forward and said, "Use the death of Mo Cloud Sea to buy ten years of peace for us, what is there to hesitate about? If we form the alliance, we can buy shen equipment from Tian Huan. Tian Huan and us will ally against Kun Lun, this is a true equilibrium of three powers."

Ban Xia was a true confidant who had grown up with him. He had gone to Ban Xia to plot and commit many schemes.

The sect leader said dispiritedly, "The madman will not agree, what is to be done? If we rebel, he will kill us!"

Ban Xia lowered his voice. "We cannot deal with him, but other people can."

"You mean?" The sect leader suddenly raised his head and said in a trembling voice.

"Since Zhong De is the biggest problem, then we will eliminate this problem!" Ban Xia's tone was dark as he made a cutting motion with a vicious expression. "Tian Huan's intentions are clear, they have finally acted. Mo Cloud Sea is their biggest enemy. For Mo Cloud Sea, they are willing to do anything."

"This ... ..." The sect leader's mind shook and his expression wavered.

"We can imply to Tian Huan, they will naturally think of a way. We only need to give them some secret aid. Once the head is cut off, Sect Leader can step forward to take control of the situation and it will stabilize." Ban Xia said gravely, "Also, we can push this onto Mo Cloud Sea."

It had to be said that Ban Xia's plan had a high possibility of success. If Tian Huan sent out a top expert, and with them working from inside, the possibility of success was high.

Hesitation flashed across the sect leader's face. "But if Zhong De is dead, what do we do if Kun Lun and Tian Huan go back on their word and attack us?"

A matter like this could not be written down. If this was leaked, he would be overthrown as sect leader! Also, Zhong De was one of his greatest bargaining chips. Tian Huan and Kun Lun were wary because of Zhong De's existence.

Once Zhong De was gone, Xi Xuan would become a piece of fat meat without any ability to defend itself. It was unknown if Tian Huan would hold to their previous agreement at that time. If Tian Huan did not abide by the agreement, then Xi Xuan would be in danger.

Ban Xia was also flummoxed by this problem. After some thought, his eyes suddenly lit up. "We can have Tian Huan's Li Xian Er be our hostage! Li Xian Er is the granddaughter of Tian Huan's sect leader, and the leader of the younger generation of disciples. She is equivalent to Kun Lun's Lin Qian. Tian Huan will definitely not allow anything to happen to Li Xian Er. If Tian Huan is willing to send us Li Xian Er as a hostage, it means that they are sincere."

The sect leader's expression eased. This was a good plan. But he thought of another problem. Shaking his head, he said, "Which of us can match Li Xian Er's strength? It is too dangerous to have someone like this be a hostage!"

Ban Xia was full of intelligence. He smiled and said, "Sect Leader, you forgot we have a wondrous place."

"What place?" The sect leader stilled.

"Fiend Abyss Jail!" Ban Xia said a term that had long been forgotten.

The sect leader's eyes suddenly lit up.

———

Receiving the message that the sect leader of Xi Xuan had secretly sent, the higher levels of Tian Huan were stuck in a dilemma.

Xi Xian's demand was simple. They wanted a hostage, and they wanted Li Xian Er. This was not something that they could decide. Li Xian Er was the granddaughter of the Sect Leader, and the most talented disciple of the younger generation. Her future was limitless and it was very likely that she would become the next sect leader.

This was not the only factor. Mu Shuang, one of the ten great battle generals and a significant person in the sect, and Gongye Xiao Rong who was also thought to possess top battle general level strength, opposed this fiercely.

This party could not be dismissed.

But there were those that agreed, for example, one of the ten great battle generals, Mi Nan.

Mi Nan was ranked third among the ten great battle generals, under only Xue Dong and Zhong De. He ranked even above Mu Shuang at seventh. He was one with real and great power in Tian Huan. Also, the Mi Family was a traditionally powerful family within Tian Huan. In almost every generation, they had someone in a position of power.

The Mi Family had a near monopoly on Tian Huan's materials business and was extremely wealthy. Due to this, the Mi Family wanted to kill Mo Cloud Sea more than everyone else. In these years as Mo Cloud Sea had risen, the Mi Family's business had suffered greatly.

Mi Nan was influential within Tian Huan. He was sixty eight this year, at the prime of his life. The battalion he led was the strongest battalion of Tian Huan, the only battalion with [Tian Huan] in the name, the [Heaven Fate Hoop]!

Mi Nan was extremely skilled and a group of able people gathered around him. He could be considered the sect major power inside Tian Huan.

The biggest faction in Tian Huan was, of course, the Tian Huan's Sect Leader's faction. The sect leader was peaceful in personality but fair in his conduct. Everyone respected him. Adding on that he had the support of the Chief Elder, a supreme existence, behind him, no one dared to oppose him.

Mu Shuang was one of the ten great battle generals, but the faction behind him was not as strong as Mi Nan's. Mu Shuang was usually concerned with battles, and didn't have any interest in the affairs of the sect.

Gongye Xiao Rong had influence among the disciples. While he was not as respected as he had been before he had been defeated by Gongsun Cha, he was still respected for struggling and returning from the deadly situation.

So when Mu Shuang and Gongye Xiao Rong were united in opposition, their voices could not be ignored.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Mi Nan's side thought that Xi Xuan would not dare to harm Li Xian Er. Li Xian Er would be a hostage but not in danger. If she could complete Tian Huan's alliance with Xi Xuan, Tian Huan would be in an undefeatable position. Otherwise, with Mo Cloud Sea competing with them in forging, and being weaker offensively than Kun Lun, Tian Huan's future was in danger."

The opposition claimed that Tian Huan had not reached the point that it needed to send a core member of the sect, like Li Xian Er, to act as hostage. It would be good to eliminate Mo Cloud Sea but there was no need to pay such a great price. Also, they thought that Tian Huan was stronger than Mo Cloud Sea and they should not fear competing with Mo Cloud Sea. Like right now, when Tian Huan moved, they had the upper hand. In terms of overall strength, Mo Cloud Sea wasn't on the same level as Tian Huan.

The two sides fought. Because it was concerning his granddaughter, the sect leader could not express an opinion. The chief elder who could make the decision was resting with his eyes closed in silence.

Suddenly, Li Xian Er stepped out and said calmly, "I am willing to go."

The hall immediately quieted.

Gongye Xiao Rong's expression was panicked. He was about to speak when Li Xian Er gave him a comforting expression.

"I'm willing to go. Actually, everyone knows that the risk is not high. Also, even if there is risk, I still think we should agree to Xi Xuan's demand. Because Mo Cloud Sea was more dangerous than Xi Xuan and filled with more life."

Li Xian Er's beautiful face was as calm as water. Her usual mischievousness had disappeared, and her voice echoed in the hall.

"I've seen Zuo Mo, I have interacted with them, I know how strong they are. An opponent like this should not be underestimated. This kind of chance is rare. If we can grab it, we can eliminate a great problem forever. Also, do not forget about Kun Lun."

"We all know that we are a level below Kun Lun in terms of offensive power. If we and Kun Lun are the only ones left, the ones to fall in the end will be us."

The hall was silent. Everyone was stunned by Li Xian Er's words. Mi Nan, Mu Shuang, and Gongye Xiao Rong did not have good expressions. What Li Xian Er was saying were things that people usually discussed in secret but no one had ever talked about it publicly.

"What is our advantage? Money! We are richer than Kun Lun! This is our greatest weapon. We should spread our money to buy and recruit other factions. We need allies. If we have to fight against Kun Lun, we need allies. Xi Xuan is the most suitable ally. They have vast territory, and a great population. Once Zhong De is eliminated, there will not be any person in control with any real power. They can only rely on us. We will provide them with shen equipment, with all kinds of fluff. They can outfit enough battalions to help us fight against Kun Lun. An enormous amount of cannon fodder. This is what Tian Huan needs. Also, Mo Cloud Sea's existence will only weaken us. We have to fight them for materials, for market share. This will make Tian Huan poor. Without money, we cannot recruit other factions. We will lose our greatest weapon, we will be in danger."

Li Xian Er's words were firm.

Chief Elder opened his eyes at this time and showed admiration. He slowly said, "All of you do not think as clearly as a little girl. After returning from this mission, you will become the next sect leader."

The chief elder announced his decision.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Fifteen – Yang Yuan Hao's Dilemma

Zuo Mo was very surprised when he received the message.

Zhong De sent a message inquiring about the shen equipment and also sent along a large shipment of materials.

This message did not mention Tian Huan at all but expressed Zhong De's thoughts. Zhong De had not agreed to Tian Huan! Zuo Mo had to say that he was very shocked when he received the news. He really could not think of why Zhong De had chosen him.

Even the stupidest person could see that the benefits of choosing Tian Huan were far greater than choosing Mo Cloud Sea.

But Zhong De made an unexpected choice.

Zuo Mo thought hard about why Zhong De had made this choice but after thinking for a long time, he could not think of anything. After asking Pu Yao and confirming that Mo Cloud Sea had received a shipment of materials from Xi Xuan, Zuo Mo's anxiety finally settled. While he did not know what Zhong De was thinking, but it appeared that Zhong De had refused Tian Huan.

Zhong De's refusal of Tian Huan was the best news that Zuo Mo had heard in recent days.

Zuo Mo threw away his puzzlement and started to consider the effects of Zhong De's unexpected choice on Mo Cloud Sea.

Zhong De was the true holder of power in Xi Xuan. His refusal of Tian Huan meant that Tian Huan's strategic intentions were destroyed. Mo Cloud Sea's situation was not as bad as it was previously.

But had the danger been resolved?

Zuo Mo had to admit that Tian Huan's moves had hit Mo Cloud Sea in their weakness. He could feel it, how could Tian Huan not feel it?

Tian Huan's scheme only had one obstacle Zhong De. Zuo Mo put himself in Tian Huan's position and thought. If it was him, what would he do?

Go around Zhong De? Impossible. Zhong De was in control of Xi Xuan at the moment and could not be skirted around.

If Zhong De could not be avoided, there was only one solution, eliminate Zhong De!

Eliminating Zhong De would be eliminating the only obstacle.

Zhong De was a great battle general and heavily protected. How could he be eliminated?

Send an army? Zuo Mo shook his head. The price was too high to start a war with the second ranked battle general and was famed for his viciousness and bloodthirstiness. If Tian Huan was not dumb, they would definitely not do such a thing.

Then there was only one choice, assassination!

Zuo Mo was startled, his eyes suddenly widening. It definitely would be an assassination! Tian Huan had top experts, and from the information he obtained, the sect leader of Xi Xuan clearly was in agreement to ally with Tian Huan, and would likely act as a spy.

Zhong De was in danger!

Zuo Mo's heart beat wildly!

———

Yang Yuan Hao had not had a good rest in the past few days. This was very rare for him. His calm and steadiness were his most outstanding traits. He understood himself. No matter what kind of battle it was, he could maintain his calm and stability. The choices he made would never surpass the limits of his ability. He never tried to do anything outside of his abilities.

He was always measured and unhurried. It was as though nothing could disturb his peace of mind.

His strategic vision was not as good as Xue Dong, he was not as decisive as Zhong De, not as experienced as Mi Nan, not as sharp as Gongsun Cha, and compared to Bie Han, his explosiveness was lacking ... ...

Of the ten great battle generals, the one that did not have any unique trait was Yang Yuan Hao.

He seemed to not have any trait that was outstanding yet he could always win. His fighting style was just so. All of his skills were strangely equal, and none were better than any other. Of course, being as well-rounded to such a degree was special in itself. He was the only one.

However, only people that studied Yang Yuan Hao's fighting methods would understand his terrifying nature. What was scariest about Yang Yuan Hao was that he would always make the appropriate choice at the appropriate time.

These choices may not be the best, but they would not be bad. Countless choices formed countless small advantages that would accumulate and, in the end, turn into victory.

Yang Yuan Hao's victories would cause other people to feel hopeless. People that were trapped would not detect when they had started to lose. Steadiness, a hope-robbing steadiness. He almost didn't have a weakness.

But such a calm and steady mind was thrown into chaos by Zuo Mo's words.

What should he do?

He could not disguise his disappointment with the present state of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects. While he knew that this alliance would have a short honeymoon, but he was still disappointed when this day came so quickly.

Zuo Mo's words caused some things he did not want to face to surface in front of him.

This was really a dislikable person!

He could not refute Zuo Mo's words. Both Kun Lun and Tian Huan would definitely welcome him. No matter if it was because of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects or himself who was the fifth ranking battle general.

But he also knew that if he sided with Kun Lun or Tian Huan, he could receive good treatment but would definitely be unable to enter the inner circles of the two sects. Kun Lun and Tian Huan were full of talent, and their inner competition was fierce enough. If he, an outsider, tried to squeeze in, he would be unanimously rejected.

The best result would be leading his battalion to guard a base that was not important and live an idle life. The worst case result would be that he and the Nine Great Dhyana Sects would be turned into cannon fodder and sent into the battlefields with the most fighting.

None of these were things that he wanted. For any battle general, a chance to fight all kinds of factions like right now was a rare chance. Who did not want to accomplish something? Also, Yang Yuan Hao had the ability.

As to cannon fodder, no one was willing to be cannon fodder.

Yang Yuan Hao was not dumb. He naturally understood Zuo Mo's intentions of recruiting him.

Based on the situation, Mo Cloud Sea was actually the most suitable. Mo Cloud Sea had only been founded for a short time, they did not have any well-established local powers. Zuo Mo himself was a reliable person. Also, Mo Cloud Sea was strong but had a small territory. They would definitely expand. This way, he did not need to worry that there would be no wars to fight.

However, Mo Cloud Sea's situation was dangerous right now. If they were the least bit careless, they would lose it all.

Joining Mo Cloud Sea at this time meant that he needed to take on this danger as well. The future was unknown. Even if he was willing to take on the risk, other people may not.

He was not Zhong De, one person who could decide the fate of all of Xi Xuan. He had power, but the one in charge of Thunder Sound Temple was still the sect leader. Would Sect Leader be willing to ally with Mo Cloud Sea right now?

He shook his head. Everyone would want to avoid at this time.

He decided to go and ask the sect leader.

When Yang Yuan Hao saw the sect leader, he did not conceal any of his thoughts and reported everything to the sect leader.

After the sect leader heard this, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

Yang Yuan Hao was silent. He knew that Sect Leader was thinking.

"If Tian Huan succeeds, what do you think the result is?" The sect leader opened his eyes and asked Yang Yuan Hao.

Yang Yuan Hao thought and said, "If Tian Huan succeeds, Mo Cloud Sea will be danger, they will be surrounded and attacked on three sides ... ..."

"Mo Cloud Sea's territory is not connected to them," the sect leader said coolly.

Yang Yuan Hao stilled and his expression changed slightly. "Then they will first get rid of us!"

"How does our Thunder Sound Temple compare to Kun Lun and Tian Huan?" the sect leader asked.

"As weak as a baby,"Yang Yuan Hao responded.

"In other words, even if we join Tian Huan and Kun Lun, we are not needed, and unimportant," the sect leader seemed to say to himself.

"Yes." While he did not want to admit it, Yang Yuan Hao knew that this was the truth.

"How do we compare to Mo Cloud Sea?" the sect leader asked.

"We are greatly inferior," Yang Yuan Hao's response was honest.

"How much?" the sect leader asked.

Yang Yuan Hao struggled with this question. After thinking, he said, "Them ten, us three." After a while, he thought and then added, "Them ten, we two."

The sect leader did not care and asked directly, "If Lotus Sutra Temple is added?"

"Them ten, us three."

"In other words, if we join them, our importance is only three out of thirteen." The sect leader asked, "What if we join Tian Huan and Kun Lun? What is our importance?"

"Not even one in thirteen." Yang Yuan Hao understood what the sect leader meant but couldn't resist saying, "However, Mo Cloud Sea is in danger, and can be destroyed at any time!"

"Is it better to give coal in the winter, or give gold to gild the lily?" the sect leader asked.

"But ... ..."

"Is there really not a solution?" the sect leader said cryptically. "Your mind is better than ours, Think hard. Does Mo Cloud Sea really not have a solution? If we are added, is there still no chance to turn this around? Think, who, like us, is not willing to see Mo Cloud Sea fall?"

Yang Yuan Hao was stunned where he stood, only one sentence in his mind.

Was there really no solution?

———

Zuo Mo was never someone that waited around for others to decide his fate.

Ever since he thought of the possibility that Tian Huan would attempt to assassinate Zhong De, Zuo Mo and the others moved. Undoubtedly, there was nothing else at this time that was more important than protecting Zhong De.

Zhong De's Abyss Jail Battalion was powerful and his protection would not be a problem. However, there was a great problem. He lacked true top experts. This was usually not a problem, but if there was someone on the inside helping his enemies, Zhong De's safety would be questionable.

Zuo Mo's group did not dawdle at all. They travelled day and night at their fastest sped towards Tian Huan.

They needed to get to Zhong De before the experts of Tian Huan.

If Zhong De did not die, Tian Huan's strategic aim would not be realized. Then this danger to Mo Cloud Sea was not something that could not be overcome. If they then retreated for two years, then they would have enough power to solve all of these problems. Mo Cloud Sea did not lack ling farmers. The unique formation ling fields of Mo Cloud Sea would be able to be spread used across their territories.

The new forty four jie they took was enough to satisfy Mo Cloud Sea's demand for materials.

After two years, their situation would be resolved on its own.

But everything was based on the fact that Zhong De would live until then!

Only a living Zhong De could stop Tian Huan!

For safety, Zuo Mo did not split up his subordinates. The people he took on his journey this time were almost all of the high level fighting forces in Mo Cloud Sea. He had enough confidence to fight against the experts of Tian Huan.

This would be an unprecedentedly hard battle!

The two sides fighting all had reasons that they needed to complete!

Translator Ramblings: The fate of the world rests on one person ... ... Zhong De.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Sixteen – The Change Among The Yao

It was hard to detect the secret battle between Tian Huan and Mo Cloud Sea if one did not pay attention. All of the xiuzhe world was in turbulence, yet on the surface, it appeared peaceful.

At this time, the internal conflict of the Yao Council of Elders attracted the attention of the world.

The cause of the matter was because of a speech that the youngest inner council member, Ming Yue Ye, had made at a yao art house.

Ming Yue Ye had given a fervent speech, criticizing the present yao for their relaxed attitude. She used all kinds of examples to illustrate the terrible lives of the yao jie that had ended up in the hands of the xiuzhe.

When the speech was broadcast, all of the yao realm was moved.

In the war there were victories and defeats between yao and xiuzhe. But overall, the xiuzhe had held the upper hand. There were many yao jies who had been conquered, but up until now, no one had mentioned recovering these lost territories. The Council of Elders seemed to have forgotten them.

Until Ming Yue Ye pointed to this scar.

For the yao, the successive losses had been a humiliating and painful memory. Under the strong suppression of the Council of Elders, the full impact of these realities had been forgotten.

Soon, the news that the Council of Elders had voluntarily given up these jie from the start, and their strategy of accumulating personal armies to guard their own territories was leaked.

The populace was filled with fury!

They could not imagine that the great majority of yao jie which had fallen had been voluntarily surrendered by the Council of Elders! Even now, the Council of Elders did not proactively try to take back the lost territories!

What kind of Council of Elders was this!

At a time when many clans had been forced to move due to the calamities of war, these people only wanted to protect their kinsmen, their wealth, and did not care for the life and death of the people that had been conquered!

No one could accept this cruel reality. The people used all kinds of methods to express their fury, especially those intermediate and small families. Being the first group to be abandoned. They started to move and team up.

Almost all of the yao art houses stopped classes. The young and spirited youths were almost unanimously opposed the Council of Elders.

All of the yao were pulled into an unprecedented whirlpool.

Facing all kinds of accusations, the Council of Elders remained oddly silent. All the major families also maintained their silence. The major families were connected intimately with the Council of Elders. They were beneficiaries so they helped the Council of Elders suppress the chaos occurring locally.

A tragedy occurred.

At a protest event, the battalion responsible for the local public safety had a conflict with the petitioners. Seventy six people were killed!

When this event occurred, all of the yao were shocked.

Even the slowest person realized that a bigger storm was about to come.

When Corps Commander Bing Lan stood up and said the yao should take back the lost yao jie, no matter if it was for the yao that were living there or to make up for past mistakes, it had to be done.

This was the first time the military were expressing their opinion publically!

In reality, the conflict between the military and the Council of Elders had been brewing for a long time. The military had always been discontent with the Council of Elder's conservative and defensive strategy, especially those young battle generals that hoped the yao could also participate in this fight for the world.

The Council of Elder's constant and continuous concessions to the xiuzhe made them feel uncomfortable.

Soon after Corps Commander Bing Lan spoke out, other corps commanders followed suit and spoke out in support of taking back lost territories. Some battle generals even mocked the Council of Elders for being useless. They thought that yao battle generals were not any bit inferior to xiuzhe battle generals. The Council of Elders were afraid without even fighting. This was distrusting the abilities of the military, and it also showed that the Council of Elders had not adjusted to this era of great change.

Past debts and grudges were brought out. The complete annihilation of Ice Frost Corps occurred under Kun Lun's ambush yet the Council of Elders seemed to have forgotten this. More details were uncovered. The only surviving battle general of Ice Frost Corps, the hero Liang Wei who had been honored in the past, had been relieved of his duties and sent back home. The reason for this was that Liang Wei had desired to fight, and take revenge for Ice Frost Corps.

The one who had relieved Liang Wei of his duties was Corps Commander An Shi. Corps Commander An Shi was coincidentally a supporter of the Chief Elder of the Council of Elders.

The Council of Elders received another great blow!

The words of the military became the catalyst of this storm!

The yao world was about to change!

The change among the yao attracted the gaze of the world. Before this, the yao had been thought of the most united faction. The xiuzhe world had been split into the Four Realm Heaven, the mo into even more factions. Only the yao had the Council of Elders that ruled over vast lands. While many people criticized the yao for not having any ambitions to improve, no one dared to look at them.

The Council of Elders had once been seen as a strong existence that would fight Kun Lun and Tian Huan for the world.

However, the actions of the Council of Elders had caused people to lower their expectations of the yao. In terms of shen power, if it wasn't for Ming Yue Ye, no one knew when the Council of Elders would have created the yao shen power. When Ming Yue Ye found the method to merge shen power and spiritual consciousness, she unexpectedly resisted opposition on the council and publicized the basic method.

Countless clans benefited. This earned Ming Yue Ye a great reputation. Supposedly, the Chief Elder had been shocked and angry at Ming Yue Ye's actions. For a long time, Elder Ming Yue Ye had been suppressed.

The other reason the Council of Elders was not favored was because of battle generals. The xiuzhe world was full of battle generals, and the mo territories did not lack them. For both the xiuzhe and the yao, their top battle generals were very young. However, the yao were weak in this area. Most of their corps commanders had been promoted based on their experience. It was rare to see young people at the corps commander level.

The promotion and use of young battle generals had always been heavily obstructed.

And Elder Ming Yue Ye who liked to use young battle generals received the support of young generation of battle generals. Elder Ming Yue Ye daringly promoted Mu Xi to become corps commander, and this filled countless young battle generals with hope. Mu Xi had become the youngest corps commander of the yao and attracted attention.

There was not a lot of conflict over Mu Xi's promotion. Mu Xi's battle with Gongye Xiao Rong had increased her fame and propelled her to become one of the top yao battle generals. In reality, she had become the idol of countless young battle generals.

She was the first yao battle general that had fought with a top xiuzhe battle general and won.

What was interesting was the clan behind Mu Xi. Palace Lake Wood Clan was not a small clan. This clan had a long history and was famed for being able to make correct choices. Its unexpected support of Ming Yue Ye caused her prospects to rise.

Yet how could the fraction represented by the Chief Elder just give up?

Conflicts started to occur locally.

Tragedies started to occur!

The leaders of the protesters died quietly in their homes, being assassinated on the street, elders being ambushed ... ...

Public safety was continuously worsening!

Everyone was in danger!

———

The intelligence on the yao was the easiest to obtain for Zuo Mo. Pu Yao's network was unimaginably strong in this area, and all kinds of intelligence gathered like streams into rivers. After Pu Yao's organization of the details, the entire frame of the matter became clear.

On the road to Xi Xuan, Zuo Mo learned everything that was happening to the yao.

"This woman is so strong!" Zuo Mo could not help but sigh. He knew from their last meeting that Ming Yue Ye was not a friendly person, but seeing her manipulations like this, he could not help but sigh in shock.

It was clear that this entire string of events had been orchestrated by Ming Yue Ye in secret.

Zuo Mo understood Ming Yue Ye's intentions. Ming Yue Ye wanted to use this method to break out of the endless stalemate for power.

He had seen before that Ming Yue Ye's ambitions would not be small!

But he hadn't thought that her ambitions were so great!

Ming Yue Ye clearly was not willing to slowly wait to be handed power. She clearly could not wait, and the reason that she couldn't was because she saw that these next few years were the most crucial time for fighting for the world!

If this kept on getting delayed, the yao would most likely have not much to do with this fight.

Kun Lun and Tian Huan were becoming stronger by the day, Mo Cloud Sea and Gu Liang Dao was prospering, the Nether King of the mo had conquered the entire Nether Realm, the Mo Shen Temple was becoming stronger while weaker powers were being constantly destroyed. What was left were the strongest factions.

Battle generals were growing and maturing through these battles.

This caused Ming Yue Ye who had hopes of vying for the world to feel great pressure. The old age of their battle generals, the inactivity of the Council of Elders, their attitudes of enjoyment ... ...

If everything proceeded normally, she probably would only be able to take power in about a decade. Everyone, including the Chief Elder were in unspoken agreement that she was the successor.

But she could not wait for so long!

Such a vicious, decisive, and ambitious woman!

Zuo Mo knew there would be a great cleansing after a short yet intense full out battle between the two sides. Such an ambitious woman like Ming Yue Ye would not be able to tolerate the existence of a restraint.

She had the upper hand now.

The majority of the military were on her side, the young people were on her side, morality was on her side, fame was on her side, and the so-called righteousness was on her side as well.

After a period of cleansing, the yao would be greatly impacted, but they would be reborn and become a terrifying opponent.

And its leader was such a powerful woman!

A thought could not be suppressed from coming out of Zuo Mo's mind: This woman had to be stopped!

If she united the yao once more ... ...

Zuo Mo saw the similarities to Kun Lun on those fanatical yao, a zealotry similar to Kun Lun! The appearance of a new "Kun Lun", how terrifying would that be!

Wait!

The appearance of a new "Kun Lun" ... ...

A light suddenly flashed through Zuo Mo's mind. Who was the most afraid of a "New Kun Lun?" Not Mo Cloud Sea, not Tian Huan, it was Kun Lun!

Kun Lun was the most afraid of a fanatical and united a faction like them forming. No one knew better than Kun Lun themselves just how terrifying a power like them was?

Especially when both sides had large amounts of territory bordering each other. A strong yao would directly threaten Kun Lun. The one that had conquered the majority of yao territories had been Kun Lun.

It seemed that he had to find some things for Kun Lun to do!

Zuo Mo knew that right now, all of Kun Lun was focusing on this secret battle between Tian Huan and Cloud Mo Sea. Zuo Mo felt that Kun Lun would be happy to see Tian Huan kill Mo Cloud Sea.

Kun Lun, how could he let them just watch from the side? While everyone else was so busy!

A devious smirk floated at the corner of Zuo Mo's lips.

Translator Ramblings: The setup to this yao revolution took so long to set up. Not as long as Zuo Mo's search for his memories but still a few hundred chapters.

99 pieces of jingshi on the wall, 99 pieces of jingshi, take one down, spent it all, 98 pieces of jingshi on the wall.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Seventeen – Zhong De's Mad idea

Soon, all kinds of news about the yao spread in the xiuzhe world.

Ming Yue Ye was described as the strongest woman in yao history. Her actions won her countless praises, and she was thought of as the only hope of the yao prospering again.

The power struggle among the yao immediately became the topic that the people in the xiuzhe world discussed over tea. However, for sects like Kun Lun, what they saw was not just limited to this.

Kun Lun had actually received related intelligence long ago.

Yet the information they had received before had not been so detailed. At the start, they had thought that this was just a normal power struggle. But as more detailed information appeared, their wariness of Ming Yue Ye quickly increased.

If Ming Yue Ye could truly succeed ... ..

Then the yao would become even stronger, and would be a great threat to Kun Lun!

Once Kun Lun realized this, they could not sit still. As the strongest in the world, Kun Lun had always thought of the world as their future territory. The yao ruled by Ming Yue Ye was not something that was beneficial for Kun Lun.

The abilities that Ming Yue Ye showed caused Kun Lun to believe that if the yao really came under her leadership, the would quickly transform to become a rival top faction. The present yao, in Kun Lun's eyes, was only a paper tiger. Their threat was smaller than Mo Cloud Sea. This could be seen from the battalions stationed at the borders. The battalions stationed at the border of the yao were not elite.

But the yao had such a strong foundation. It had always maintained its method of rule though the Council of Elders and never had significant infighting. The accumulation and foundations built over thousands of years was astounding. They were not strong now because the higher ranks lacked ambition. Once someone like Ming Yue Ye took power, then the power the yao would display would be terrifying.

At that time, the threat that Kun Lun needed to face would increase drastically.

They could not sit and watch such a thing occur!

While the higher ups in Kun Lun concluded this, the information had come so suddenly there definitely had been people manipulation this from the shadows. But even though they knew someone else was behind this, Kun Lun had to respond. Of all the factions, the one with the most territory bordering the yao was Kun Lun.

This was an open conspiracy.

But Kun Lun's hand was forced.

Small group of Kun Lun's elite started to move towards the yao. At the same time, the secret envoy to meet up with the chief elder also moved.

Kun Lun decided to give Chief Elder their support.

A divided yao Council that was fighting among themselves was one that Kun Lun was happy to see.

———

Zuo Mo threw this problem to one side. For him, the state of the world was something for an overlord like Kun Lun to think about. The urgent problem was to face Tian Huan's attacks.

They disguised themselves, travelling day and night, and finally arrived at Xi Xuan.

On the way, Zuo Mo had sent a message to Zhong De. Zuo Mo finally sighed in relief when he saw Zhong De with his own eyes. Before he reached the other, the enemies still had a chance.

Now, unless all of the top experts of Kun Lun came, they had no chance to assassinate Zhong De in front of him.

When Zhong De saw Zuo Mo, he was not surprised. His expression was calm. "I thought that you would arrive soon."

Zuo Mo was shocked but immediately recovered his calm. "Why has Mister Zhong refused Tian Huan?"

Zhong De did not respond. He suddenly said gravely. "Other than Shi Pei, everyone else out."

No one in the military council made a sound. They all silently left with solemn expressions. Only a youth next to Zhong De did not move. Zuo Mo knew that this person must be the Shi Pei that Zhong De mentioned. It seemed that this was the second-in-command of the Abyss Jail Battalion.

Zuo Mo couldn't resist but examine Shi Pei.

Shi Pei was not very old, about twenty eight or so. He was tall, had cold features, and his face was covered in criss-crossing scars. It could be seen that his original appearance had been very handsome. He stood expressionlessly behind Zhong De like a statue. From beginning to end, he did not move.

Seeing everyone else leave, Zhong De finally spoke. But when he did, Zuo Mo was given a fright.

"Xi Xian is already beyond cure." Zhong De seemed to be describing something he was not concerned about. His expression did not change at all. "Even with ten more years, Xi Xuan cannot be saved."

Zuo Mo hadn't thought that Zhong De had such a depressing outlook on Xi Xuan. He was puzzled. "While Xi Xuan has many problems, they have the foundation, with time, there may be a chance."

"No chance." Zhong De shook his head. "Xi Xuan is rotten to the core. They have been ruined for decades, there is no cure. They had stopped training young talents for a long time. I searched all of Xi Xuan and there is none that can be used! To catch up on a few decades is not so simple. If this was a time of peace, and there are no outside threats, ten years, twenty years, then maybe there would be a chance."

"Didn't Tian Huan promise ten years?" Zuo Mo asked curiously. Zhong De's thoughts were actually not very different from what Zuo Mo and the others thought. The training of the younger disciples could not be completed in one or two years. Without ten to twenty years, there was no real effect to be seen. Xi Xuan's lack of talent was caused because it had not placed importance on training young disciples for the past few decades.

A cold sneer appeared on Zhong De's scar-covered face. "Would Tian Huan sincerely want Xi Xuan to grow strong? In their eyes, Xi Xuan is just a great cannon fodder. They will think of all the ways they can for Xi Xuan to be first to use up Kun Lun's strength. Then they will benefit from standing by the side. The present Tian Huan is much stronger than Xi Xuan. Once you are eliminated, Tian Huan will be even stronger. Under Tian Huan's control, Xi Xian doesn't have a chance of fighting back."

Zuo Mo was not persuaded because the present Xi Xuan did not have a chance. In comparison, allying with Tian Huan was more beneficial for Xi Xuan. He didn't believe that Zhong De did not see this.

But why had Zhong De said so much?

Zhong De seemed to know that these words could not persuade Zuo Mo. His eyes were half-lidded as he said lightly, "I plan to give Xi Xuan to Gu Liang Dao."

Zuo Mo shook in surprise and then understood!

So this was why!

All of his confusion was resolved. When he knew had learned that Zhong De only had three years to live, Zuo Mo and the others had speculated who Zhong De would choose as the successor.

The most likely was the present sect leader of Xi Xuan. The present sect leader of Xi Xuan wasn't just the legitimate choice, he had also been the one to invite Zhong De to come back into the world. Once Zhong De passed away, if there were no accidents, he would undoubtedly take power again.

Zuo Mo had once thought that Zhong De would try to find Gu Liang Dao and he had tried to connect the two. However, Gu Liang Dao seemed to have completely given up on Xi Xuan.

He hadn't thought, that even in this situation, Zhong De still planned to give Xi Xuan to Gu Liang Dao!

Was Zhong De so disappointed with the sect leader of Xi Xuan?

The biggest obstacle to Gu Liang Dao taking Xi Xuan was the Xi Xuan's traditional faction led by the sect leader. When Zhong De had first came back, he had once made a great cleansing of Xi Xuan's ranks. At that time, blood had flowed in rivers. Under the knife, the Xi Xuan's traditional faction had suffered great losses and had to bow their heads. They had leaned towards siding with Zhong De, but Zhong De had ignored them so they had sided with the sect leader of Xi Xuan.

Only the sect leader speaking up had prevented their deaths.

He hadn't thought that Zhong De's butcher knife was only delayed and waiting here. Zuo Mo knew that once Zhong De decided to give Xi Xuan to Gu Liang Dao, he would definitely get rid of all obstacles for Gu Liang Dao.

This time, Zhong De would probably remove the sect leader of Xi Xuan as well.

"Big Brother Gu agreed?" Zuo Mo suppressed his shock and asked. In his view, Big Brother Gu had his own thoughts, and would not be easily persuaded.

"No." Zhong De was still expressionless. "But he will agree."

Zuo Mo didn't believe it but he saw that Zhong De was very certain as though he had a way to make Gu Liang Dao agree.

Zuo Mo still didn't quite understand why Zhong De would choose Gu Liang Dao. What he needed to consider now was what changes would occur if Xi Xuan was given to Gu Liang Dao.

"Open the jie map," Zhong De suddenly said to Shi Pei.

Shi Pei expressionlessly opened the jie map of Xi Xuan. On the map, a red line separated Xi Xuan in two.

"I plan to give this part to you." Zhong De's words were astounding.

Zuo Mo wasn't just stunned but completely speechless. Was something wrong with this guy's head? This area was almost one third of Xi Xuan, and contained some important jie.

But after the initial shock, Zuo Mo looked closely. Zhong De might be mad, but he was a person who was very goal-oriented. He seemed mad but he definitely had his own goals.

Eliminating stray thoughts, Zuo Mo saw some things.

This area was not small, but they were all areas bordering Tian Huan. Once Zuo Mo took these jie, than Xi Xuan would not be threatened by Tian Huan at all. Their only worry was their border with Kun Lun. But after close inspection, Zuo Mo had to sigh at Zhong De's skill. There was a natural defensive jie at the connection to Kun Lun. If there was an elite battalion stationed there, they could block Kun Lun with little risk.

After cutting off their flesh, Xi Xuan would be rid of a great burden. The area they had to defend would shrink greatly, and their resources could be concentrated. And if it really was Gu Liang Dao that took power, Zuo Mo believed that Kun Lun would not be able to break through Gu Liang Dao's defense.

This way, Xi Xuan's torn up defense line would immediately become impenetrable, and their pressure would decrease greatly.

Zhong De was terrifying!

Standing in front of the jie map, Zuo Mo was motionless and deep in thought.

Zhong De closed his eyes in silence.

He had to admit that the lure that Zhong De threw out was too tempting! The present Mo Cloud Sea was only one hundred and thirteen ie, and the area that Zhong De had drawn out was three times bigger than Mo Cloud Sea!

If they could get this area, then the problem of Mo Cloud Sea's supply of materials could almost be all resolved by themselves. This vast area contained rich ore mines. If they were developed properly, Mo Cloud Sea's strength would expand.

The small size of their territory had become the bottleneck stopping Mo Cloud Sea from going a step further.

In these past six years, Mo Cloud Sea had secretly trained middle-management talent for their expansion strategy. Due to this, there were no problems in terms of manpower. Mo Cloud Sea had the ability to take these jie in a short time.

But after swallowing this fat piece of meat, the drawbacks were also very clear. Once they took over this area, the long border would increase the pressure on Mo Cloud Sea. Right now, Mo Cloud Sea was a hedgehog with almost no weakness. Any person that attacked would leave bloodied.

This meant that Mo Cloud Sea only needed to maintain a few elite battalions and not enormous numbers of normal battalions.

Such a long border, and it was Tian Huan. This meant that they needed to station large numbers of battalions to deal with the threat of Tian Huan!

Zuo Mo's expression shifted and wavered.

Translator Ramblings: Either the present sect leader of Xi Xuan or his father would have been the person who ganged up with the other sects to exterminate the Zuo Family. I can't imagine Kun Lun and Tian Huan coming in to Xi Xuan without Xi Xuan finding out.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighteen Hidden Trump Card

Mist Tribe

Ever since Lan returned to the tribe, the mist people found to their shock that their cultivation speed had suddenly multiplied.

In this region of the mist sea, there didn't seem to be any beasts that could threaten them.

After a transportation formation between the main tribe and the cloud island was opened, it was easy to travel outside the mist sea. The mist people gradually stepped out of the cloud sea and started to interact with the outside world. The young mist people entered schools, learning all kinds of interesting knowledge. The great majority of them entered the battle general school, and the most accomplished among them as Bing Yue.

Bing Yue who had once cried mist people tears had unexpectedly chose the battle general school. The calm and composed demeanor that defined the mist people had lead her to have outstanding results in the battle general school. She became one of the top ranked among the young battle generals of Mo Cloud Sea.

Gongsun Cha, who managed the battle general school, was full of praise for her.

Information flowed into this isolated tribe. The mist tribe changed constantly. Many of the products of the mist tribe were in demand outside. High grade cloud mist was a good material to make nimbus clouds, and the use of high grade ice crystals were even more widespread.

Only the mist people had the ability to travel deep into the cloud sea to collect these two materials.

The mist tribe quickly became wealthy and under Lan's direction, the tribe leader Bing Yao made a trip to the cloud island to find Zuo Mo in hopes that Zuo Mo could help them forge a batch of shen equipment suited for the mist people. They were willing to pay all the expenses.

This batch of shen equipment was called the Mo Mist shen equipment.

The Mist Tribe became even stronger. As their living standards increased, the number of new births among the mist people increased greatly as well. The prosperity of the tribe caused the leader, Bing Yao's mouth be stretched in a smile everyday.

A great amount of Lan's power had recovered. As the tribe's lives got better, the tribe's belief in Lan grew even stronger. The resolute belief constantly repaired Lan's damaged body.

Lan's body was completely renewed as the bones of the body were healed. The now complete set of bones had become ice crystal like with a faint blue. If one looked closely, they would find that there were layers of tiny scripts in the light ice crystals. There were thousands of layers of these scripts.

Lan had spent a whole seven years in the deepest part of the cloud sea, absorbing countless ice mist crystals to strengthen this body!

It was finally finished!

Lan was slightly emotional. For totems, time was just a concept but there was still a sense of urgency for the tribe. The mist people tribe was not strong. Even though the development of the tribe had been good recently, and they had grown in population, they were still a small tribe.

As the totem of the tribe, Lan paid more attention to the outside world more than anyone in the tribe.

The tens of thousands of years allowed him to see through the mists. The mist people tribe was too miniscule, even in Mo Cloud Sea. In the entire world, they were even more insignificant.

Lan knew that no other faction would be like Zuo Mo and give them such good benefits with their power. But if he wanted the tribe to receive more living space, better investment in development, they had to contribute their power to Mo Cloud Sea, and become a more important part of Mo Cloud Sea.

It had been Lan's order for Bing Yue to enter the battle general school.

It was a pity that the mist people were too few in number. Otherwise, they could form a mist people battalion and fight for Mo Cloud Sea. In this era, there was nothing more valuable than service.

However, Lan had started to prepare all this. Once those young mist people who entered the battle general schools grew up, once the tribe had more people, the mist people would be able to create a mist people battalion. One day.

But until that day, all of the duties of the tribe, all the merit they needed to earn, Lan was the only person who could do it.

This was the responsibility that fell on Lan's shoulders as the totem warrior of the tribe.

Also, Zuo Mo and Mo Cloud Sea did not seem to be in a good situation recently ... ...

Lan thought about Gongsun Cha's request. After thinking, he immediately made a decision.

A thought covered all of the tribe.

A thought spread in ripples. All of the mist people unconsciously stopped what they were doing. Shock flashed across their faces and then they unhesitatingly sprinted towards the shen temple!

Countless figures flashed through the sky.

Everyone had grave expressions and were silent.

Moments later, everyone in the tribe had gathered outside the shen temple. The tribe leader, Bing Yao, stood at the very front with an expression of barely hidden excitement.

"Open the restricted land!"

An authoritative and cold voice sounded from inside the shen temple into the ears of every mist person.

The mist people present all shook. Shock and excitement rose on their grave faces.

The restricted land!

The mist people's restricted land, a territory they had guarded for more than ten thousand years!

It was it about to be opened!

A blinding blue light suddenly flew out of the shen temple and shot towards the restricted land.

Moments later, the ground trembled and boomed, the ice mist in the air clinking and rattling.

The mist people were prostrated on the ground with devout expressions.

Lan floated in the air above the shen temple. The figure was just a skeleton, but the authoritative presence shrouded the entire region.

Countless hair-thin rays of blue light appeared in the restricted land and flew towards Lan in the air.

Lan did not look at them and slowly floated down to the ground.

The moment that Lan's feet touched the ground, the blue energies wrapped onto the skeletal body. Starting from the feet, something began to take form. Lan did not seem to feel it and slowly stepped forward, With every step, the endless blue energies took form.

They formed combat boots, greaves, joints ... ...

The blue energy started from the toes, and then pushed up and grew along the armor as it materialized.

When Lan walked to the front of the crowd, an exquisite battle armor covered in patterns took form. The battle armor covered all of Lan. The ice blue battle armor seemed to be made from layers of ice crystals and was so breathtakingly beautiful.

What shocked everyone was that the battle armor was slender and curved. It was a female warrior's battle armor!

Lan was actually a female totem warrior!

The blue energy did not stop and continued to take form above Lan's head. An icy blue and transparent umbrella appeared in Lan's hand. The handle of the umbrella seemed to be carved from ice. The ribs of the umbrella were deep blue. There were eighteen ice crystals tied with long blue tassels that dangled from the edge of the umbrella and clinked harmoniously as they swayed.

Wearing battle armor, holding an ice umbrella, Lan seemed to have stepped out of a portrait.

"After sleeping for ten thousand years, you and I are able to once again fighting side by side."

The voice spoke from behind the mask.

All of the mist people were overcome with excitement. The older mist people cried. Everyone recognized the figure in front of them! That legend that was worshiped in their shen temple, the tale that was told to every generation of mist people, the legendary guardian protector of the mist tribe, the strongest totem warrior in the mist people trible's history!

No one knew her name, but every mist person could recognize her.

Bing Yao's tears streamed down his face. The god of the mist people, you have never abandoned your clan!

As though she could hear the shout in Bing Yao's mind, a clear icy voice sounded by everyone's ears as through it came from the ancient era.

"I, Lan, the totem of mist, worshiped by the mist people for generations, swear if my soul and body is not deceased, will not dishonor the name of totem and protect the mist people!

———

Mo Cloud Sea.

Gongsun Cha walked out of the transportation formation and stepped onto this nondescript cloud island. The cloud island was about two hundred mu and was a pitifully small island in Mo Cloud Sea. There were no seal formations or jinzhi on this little island that was covered in fauna.

There was no need for any jinzhi because living here was a top level shen power expert.

"How come you are here?" the old many looked at Gongsun Cha with surprise and then realized, "You encountered trouble?"

Ever since he was reunited with A Gui, he had decided to stay at Mo Cloud Sea. He liked peace so he found an unpopulated cloud island for himself. Other than going to see A Gui occasionally, he spent all of his time on the island.

"Yes!" Gongsun Cha did not tarry and said briskly. "I have come to ask Mister to fight."

"Who?" The old man's eyes widened.

"Tian Huan!" Gongsun Cha responded.

"Oh, I heard you are in a sorry state. I was saying, just letting people beat on you and not retaliating, that's not that boy's style!" The old man smacked his lips.

Gongsun Cha had a small smile but did not speak. He could hear the old man's exasperation. A Gui was faithfully loyal to Zuo Mo and no matter how much the old man did not like Zuo Mo, he couldn't do a thing.

The old many snorted coldly and showed his missing and yellowed teeth. He said to himself, "I need to show the brat what a true shen power expert is!"

———

All of Mo Cloud Sea started to move at high speed.

This was the first time Mo Cloud Sea was moving with other factions. Their allies this time was the elite of Gu Liang Dao's faction led by Shuang Yu.

Gongsun Cha had been planning their counter-attack on Tian Huan all this time. However, sending a battalion could not change a secret war. Also, they could not rely on guerilla warfare because Zuo Mo had taken too many experts with him.

So when Gu Liang Dao contacted Gongsun Cha, Gongsun Chao became alert.

If Gu Liang Dao and Mo Cloud Sea were allied together, they could deal with the problem of experts. Shuang Yu was a top expert. Adding on the old man, the forces could not be dismissed.

But Gongsun Cha did not rashly attack. He knew that there was only one chance for a surprise gambit like this. If they attacked and alerted the enemy, there would not be a chance like this again in the future.

He started to design a detailed plan. In order to have greater effect, he used all of Mo Cloud Sea's intelligence network.

In order to increase their military force, Gongsun Cha even send a request for reinforcement from the mist people tribe.

The good news was that Nan Yue's group had finished their mission and returned. Qinghua Xue and Xie Shan also came out of seclusion almost at the same time.

Gongsun Cha sighed in relief. The manpower was enough to support this battle plan.

When Lan appeared, Gongsun Cha was also stunned where he stood. Then he was overjoyed and his confidence increased! He had never thought that Lan would participate!

Lan's attention-catching actions caused Gongsun Cha to immediately know her strength—a top shen power expert!

Shuang Yu who had secretly travelled to Mo Cloud Sea was left mouth gaped with eyes wide. Mo Cloud Sea had a hidden top level shen power expert!

The familiar vibrations from Lan's ice blue battle armor caused Shuang Yu to realize this was a shen device raiment!

Mo Cloud Sea had a secret top level shen power expert with a shen device raiment!

For the first time, Shuang Yu had the feeling that Mo Cloud Sea was unfathomable. Then, Shuang Yu believed that their mission this time would succeed! Even they hadn't known that Mo Cloud Sea had hidden such a trump card!

Tian Huan was going to be out of luck!

Editor's note: Poor Shuang Yu. It isn't just the one shen device raiment that hasn't been revealed. OP MC powers.

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo was so fortunate to have come across Lan's bones and then coincidentally ended up where the mist tribe was living.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Nineteen – Struggle

Zuo Mo stared at the jie map in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

He had been staring motionlessly at the jie map for almost six hours.

Xi Xuan was a little over eight hundred jie and one third of that was two hundred and- almost three hundred jie. How big was Mo Cloud Sea? One hundred and thirteen jie! If they could take down all this, Mo Cloud Sea could expand to almost four hundred jie!

This number was about to almost two thirds of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects total territories.

But that long and tattered border would cause Mo Cloud Sea's defense to become a big problem

Zhong De was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that when something so great and free was handed to him, Zuo Mo would excitedly agree without hesitation. He hadn't thought that while Zuo Mo was excited, he did not immediately agree.

A territory of almost three hundred jie yet someone would hesitate for six hours!

Zhong De re-evaluated Zuo Mo. He had not underestimated Mo Cloud Sea, he actually had a high opinion of Mo Cloud Sea. Mo Cloud Sea was the ally that Zhong De chose for Gu Liang Dao. Putting aside Gu Liang Dao's good friendship with Zuo Mo, Mo Cloud Sea's strength was what he thought highly of.

He had other deeper considerations for giving almost one third of Xi Xuan to Mo Cloud Sea.

Mo Cloud Sea was stronger than Gu Liang Dao, much stronger. The two would be neighbours. If they were to be allies, they needed to be of similar strength. However, Mo Cloud Sea had a firmer foundation. Once they digested the three hundred jie, they would become even stronger.

A Mo Cloud Sea that was too strong was not beneficial for a developing Xi Xuan.

In Zhong De's view, Gu Liang Dao was strong, but he clearly was not at the same level as Zuo Mo.

This could be seen from the comparison of the two's forces. Of Gu Liang Dao's force, other than himself, only Shuang Yu and Xiao were acceptable. They lacked talents. But Mo Cloud Sea, Wei Sheng, Gongsun Cha, Bie Han, Zong Ru, a list of names that could blind and awe people. Even someone with such a resolute mind as Zhong De was not willing to become enemies against them.

The long border would drag Mo Cloud Sea into a tedious and difficult struggle with Tian Huan and slow Mo Cloud Sea's development.

Only when the two sides were in balance could a long-lasting alliance form.

Ten years. Zhong De estimated that Xi Xuan would need ten years under Gu Liang Dao in order to recover. If there was not a titan like Tian Huan, Zhong De thought that Mo Cloud Sea would only need five years to become a new titan of the same level as Kun Lun and Tian Huan.

Zhong De felt that he had not underestimated Zuo Mo but at this time, he found that he had still underestimated Zuo Mo's foresight.

The guy who was said to be peerlessly greedly and only thought of profit was able to maintain his calm in the face of almost three hundred jie!

Such a terrifying person.

Zhong De suddenly suspected whether or not his decision was correct. Could Gu Liang Dao really fight against such a monster? Could he really fight against such a monstrous faction?

But then he grimaced. Other than Gu Liang Dao, he did not have a better choice. Gu Liang Dao was the most outstanding young person from Xi Xuan's lineage. He understood the present sect leader. If he gave Xi Xuan to the sect leader, the end of the ten year agreement would be the time that Xi Xuan would die.

Zhong De's heart was like rock. After wavering slightly, he recovered.

A pair of eyes that flashed with excitement and madness entered his field of view. His heart suddenly shuddered but his expression did not change. "What have you decided?"

Zuo Mo looked closely at Zhong De's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I also want this piece!"

His finger flicked and a curving streak of light appeared on the jie map. A region about thirty jie was outlined at the lower right corner of the area that Zhong De had proposed.

Zhong De's pupils suddenly contracted!

After Zhong De came out of his seclusion, he had studied repeatedly. As the second-ranking battle general of the ten top battle generals, Zhong De was bloodthirsty and savage, but he was unusually wary in his attitude towards war.

No one knew how many times he had studied this jie map. Every detail of this jie map had been imprinted into his mind long ago. Without any effort, it could be redrawn completely in his mind.

This area where Tian Huan and Xi Xuan borders were shared was a long and flat wedge between Xi Xuan and the Nine Great Dhyana Sects.

It was a complex place where three factions intersected. Back in the time when Xuan Kong Temple existed, the three factions had been restrained by the balance between the three forces. That area had become an area that none of the three factions could dominate. Due to this, large numbers of small but complex factions existed there.

The fall of Xuan Kong Temple and the rise of the Nine Great Dhyana Sect caused them to quickly consume these little factions to form this strange area.

On the thirty jie that Zuo Mo drew included the area where Xi Xuan and the Nine Great Dhyana Sects shared borders.

If Zhong De still did not know Zuo Mo's intentions now, then his reputation as the second-best battle general was false.

Nine Great Dhyana Sects! Mo Cloud Sea had a close relationship with the Nine Great Dhyana Sects, closer than expected!

Zhong De sighed inside. He knew that his intentions of using Tian Huan to restrain Mo Cloud Sea had failed.

Zuo Mo's intentions in demanding these thirty jie were clear. The territory connected to the Nine Great Dhyana sects and he would open a passage between Cloud Mo Sea and the Nine Great Dhyana sects. This way, Tian Huan's wedge territory would be facing enemies on two fronts. Mo Cloud Sea's battalions could attack by travelling through the territory of the Nine Great Sects and easily detour behind Tian Huan to attack.

Mo Cloud Sea that possessed Gongsun Cha and Bie Han could easily cleave this wedge-shaped territory from Tian Huan's flesh and bring it under Mo Cloud Sea's control!

The border between Mo Cloud Sea and Tian Huan would drastically shorten.

Zhong De was now in a dilemma. With Mo Cloud Sea's strength, the possibility they would succeed was a high. That way, rather than restraining Mo Cloud Sea, it was giving Mo Cloud Sea a great opportunity.

But without Mo Cloud Sea, Gu Liang Dao who took over Xi Xuan would not be able to survive. He only had two years left. After two years, Xi Xuan would only have one top battle general left, Gu Liang Dao.

In Zhong De's view, Gu Liang Dao had good skill but he was too honest, and was not intimidating enough. Zhong De was able to protect Xi Xuan by himself. No one dared to invade. Even Kun Lun and Tian Huan did not dare to easily start a war.

This was because he was ruthless and bloodthirsty!

There was only one result of fighting against him, blood flowing in rivers! In this time where multiple factions were facing off, no one dared to be damaged so much.

"What is your decision?" Zuo Mo's tone was just like Zhong De's had been previously.

Zhong De knew that the other saw through his intentions. However, he did not care. Power struggles would always exist between factions and had nothing to do with friendships. He was a decisive person and said, "Then I'll give you this region as well."

His finger swiped, and he drew out another twenty jie at the border of the thirty jie that Zuo Mo had just circled. Allying with Mo Cloud Sea was an essential condition to the survival of Xi Xuan. Zhong De did not have a choice, his hand was forced in the matter.

Zuo Mo looked for a while and saw some things.

Zhong De seemed to have casually picked out twenty jie. He seemed to have lost a big part of territory for nothing, but in truth, he had drastically decreased the border between Xi Xuan and Mo Cloud Sea.

Zuo Mo was full of admiration towards Zhong De. As expected of the second-best battle general! Zhong De was so calm to the point of cruelty. He did not linger or hesitate over territory. He did not care for reputation or tradition. For his strategic aims, he could give up everything else. Such a terrifying person!

But these twenty jie were free for Mo Cloud Sea.

Zuo Mo knew that Zhong De was near the end of his life and knew that Zhong De was also making a path for Gu Liang Dao. Zuo Mo did not worry about Gu Liang Dao's Xi Xuan. This had nothing to do with friendship, it was a judgement of the situation. The reason that Zhong De was so generous was because he knew Gu Liang Dao would not be able to protect an enormous Xi Xuan alone.

Actually, Zuo Mo was slightly worried. Even the smaller Xi Xuan was more than five hundred jie. All of Nine Great Dhyana Sects was just a little more than six hundred jie.

Looking at the present situation Yang Yuan Hao was in would show just how hard it was to manage such a large territory.

Gu Liang Dao's path was harder than his own.

"Agreed!" Zuo Mo said solemnly. He was full of spirit. Mo Cloud Sea's era of being in its turtle shell was about to finally finish!

"Good!" Zhong De nodded expressionlessly. He then said, "Tian Huan's people have arrived."

Zuo Mo's attention was immediately moved. Zhong De was the crux of everything. For Xi Xuan. For Mo Cloud Sea. His safety the most important.

"They came slightly earlier than you. Li Xian Er was escorted to the Abyss Fiend Jail." A hint of coldness flashed through Zhong De's eyes. "Let's go see Tian Huan's future!"

Finishing, he walked outside.

Zuo Mo was lightly shocked. He knew Li Xian Er's status in Tian Huan. He asked in puzzlement. "Why would Tian Huan send Li Xian Er?"

"Hostage." Zhong De said coldly. "Otherwise, the sect leader would not dare to act out this plan. The sect leader is too stupid. I've guarded the Abyss Fiend Jail for decades, how can I not have any safeguards? Tian Huan came carefully and my people did not detect them. The sect leader was in too much of a hurry to send Li Xian Er to the Abyss Fiend Jail."

Zuo Mo heard that while Zhong De said "sect leader," there was no respect in his tone.

"He is devious and has great patience," Zhong De said coolly, "but is not decisive or confident enough. His desire for power is too great."

Zuo Mo was filled with curiosity but he did not want to be dragged into Xi Xuan's matters. He perceptively did not ask.

The group followed Zhong De towards the Abyss Fiend Jail. In order not to attract attention, they did not fly, but walked along the walls.

Suddenly, Wei Sheng stopped walking, and his gave focused. Zuo Mo motioned for everyone to stop.

Zuo Mo and the others were in sync and spread out, ready to fight. Shi Pei next to Zhong De stepped forward to protect him. The other guards were on their guard.

Wei Sheng's expression was at ease and unaffected.

The God-Killing Blood Sword slowly rose. Everywhere Wei Sheng passed, there seemed to be a black and bottomless abyss. Wei Sheng's eyes became like bloody glass, but his expression did not change.

"Kill!"

A thunderous shout and the rock wall in front of them suddenly shattered and rain down on them!

Wei Sheng's sword drew out!

A blood red sword energy entered the shattered energies!

The sword energy that entered the shattered stone seemed to be hit by something incoming and suddenly gave off bright white light!

The blinding light immediately consumed the group. Everyone's sight became filled with white. They could not see a thing, and the surrounding presences were in chaos.

Sharp murderousness filled the air.

Zuo Mo didn't know what this white light was. Under the white light, he could not see a thing. What was strangest was the white light could disrupt the consciousness!

Zuo Mo's consciousness that was spread out was crushed by the light.

The enemy did not seem to be affected. Eight different murderous presences locked onto him and caused his skin to tremble.

Yet Zuo Mo reacted quickly and his expression changed!

Fishing in muddy waters!

The other's target was Zhong De!

Damn it!

At this time, a muffled grunt came from the white light.

Zuo Mo's heart suddenly sank.

It was Shi Pei!

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo is starting to become a land tycoon.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty – Trap

A layer of complex shadowed scripts appeared over Mi Wu's eyes. The strong white light was filtered by the shadow script, protecting his eyes. He could clearly see every detail.

Mi Wu of the Mi Family was the most talented member of his generation. He had talent that was to be admired, and he did not waste his talent. From childhood, he worked hard. As one of the great families of Tian Huan, the Mi Family naturally raised him in a good environment.

The Mi Family was overjoyed to have produced such a genius. Even the top battle general of Tian Huan, Mi Nan, paid attention to him.

The Mi Family's teachings, his own hard work, and outstanding talent combined to create a stunningly skilled youth.

Of the top experts in Tian Huan, the most famous were the four seats and the twelve rings.

The four seats were the first four discipels of Tian Huan, Li Xian Er, Mi Wu, Sang Dong, Jin Xiao Yi.

Under every seat were three ring masters. Each ring master controlled an elite force.

The four seats and the twelve rings represented the highest combat force of Tian Huan, especially the four seated disciples. These four seats were the genius youths that Tian Huan had trained over the past few years. They were even stronger than the elders of the previous generation. If Chief Elder was said to be a supreme existence in Tian Huan, then the four seats ranked just below the sect leader, Mi Nan, and Mu Shuang.

Li Xian Er would become the future sect leader, and the other three members would become prominent elders of Tian Huan.

Mi Wu's fighting method was unpredictable like his name, like the ancient shamans. He had a quiet and thoughtful personality. While he was from a prestigious clan, he did not have excessive pride.

His pure-white robe was untouched by dust.

The blinding white light was Tian Huan's secret [Silver Light Flashbang]. It did not have any offensive power, but it could blind people with its almost unimaginable brightness. Even if one had shen power, they would not be able to avoid its effects. The most terrifying effect was that it could cause all of the energies in the area to become chaotic.

The seal scripts on Mi Wu's eyes allowed him to avoid the effects the silver light.

Zhong De!

Mi Wu's pupils contracted slightly as he cast the shen methodology. The shen glyph on his hand lit up slightly. Suddenly, the shen glyph on his palm seemed to come alive. It became three-dimensional and spun.

Six imperceptible lights suddenly flew out of the energetically spinning shen glyphs. They were like six nimble snakes that silently flew towards Zhong De!

Mi Wu had absolute confidence in this mission because all of Tian Huan put great importance on this mission.

Three of the four seats had come!

Other than Li Xian Er who had come to be the hostage, there was Mi Wu and Jin Xiao Yi. Other than this, there were also other experts, and four ring masters. The composition of their team was so grand that Mi Wu felt there was no reason they would not succeed.

Jin Xiao Yu's shen glyph flowed. Little arrows floated in a dense group next to him. Every little arrow was made from shen glyphs was astounding in power!

These little arrows vibrated minutely and murderousness filled the battlefield.

Everyone's attention was attracted by these murderous little arrows.

Zhong De did not have any strong experts with him. There were no experts of their level in Xi Xuan. If they could find Zhong De, and avoid the defense of the battalion, the possibility they would succeed was high!

Creating chaos, Jin Xiao Yu and the other people would attract the attention of the enemy and Mi Wu would deliver the fatal blow.

This was their strategy!

Shi Pei's expression changed dramatically. He advanced rather than retreating, a ball of bloody energy forming in his hand that he threw forward.

A shen glyph hit the bloody energy.

The shen glyph suddenly lit up with a strange light. In a blink, the blood energy was completely absorbed! The shen glyph turned into an eerie bloody glyph. It trembled and then continued to shoot at Zhong De.

Shi Pei grunted and flew out as though he had been hit with a hammer!

Mi Wu was unaffected. The other was just a battle general and was insignificant compared to a top expert like him!

The six shen glyph snakes were locked onto Zhong De. Without any more obstacles, they shot in front of Zhong De.

Mi Wu's heart finally stirred. Zhong De was going to die!

Just as he thought Zhong De would die to the six shen glyph snakes, a withered hand appeared without warning in front of Zhong De.

A thin Dhyana xiu with closed eyes appeared in front of Zhong De out of thin air. His withered hand was like a fragile flower.

Impossible!

Mi Wu's eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at the scene occurring in front of him. No one could see under the [Silver Light Flashbang]! Even they themselves were helpless if they did not prepare beforehand. Even Dhyana xiu could not do it. The consciousness was useless!

Who was this person?

Mi Wu's heart suddenly sank. How could there be such a strong expert around Zhong De?

Their intelligence was faulty!

The hand formed a seal and six grey sutra characters flew out of Zong Ru's hands to face the six shen glyph snakes.

Snap!

The sutra characters encountered the shen glyph snakes and exploded like smoke. The grey mist shrouded the shen glyph snakes.

The shen glyph snakes were covered in a layer of grey.

Mi Wu's expression changed slightly. Wish power! Such strong wish power!

The left half of his body started to feel slightly numb. An ugly grey mark appeared on his left shoulder.

Was this a survivor of Xuan Kong Temple? The Nine Great Dhyana Sects did not have such a strong Dhyana xiu! Countless thoughts flashed thring his mind. He did not dare to slack off. The shen glyph in his hand spinning urgently as his shen power surged.

Pew!

His left shoulder suddenly exploded, and the grey mark was destroyed. The terrifying feeling of numbness finally disappeared. All this happened in flash yet the amount of shen power used surpassed his predictions.

Mi Wu's expression became grave.

He could detect that the other was just as strong as any of the three ring masters under his command! Adding on the unpredictable and eerie shen power, this was a troublesome person!

However, the other was delusional to think that they could stop him with just this strength!

Mi Wu brimmed with murderousness.

But when his gaze focused on a three flanged Dhyana staff on the other's hand which had suddenly appeared, his expression froze on his face.

This vibration ... ...

Shen device!

———

Jin Xiao Yu was acting as planned.

Every little arrow was vibrating violently as though they were hungry and hornets waiting to move and consume. The sword essence just now made him feel a sliver of fear but he quickly recovered.

He was just slightly puzzled. Did Zhong De have someone powerful hidden away?

But he knew his duty. What he needed to do was distract the attention of the enemy and create chances for Mi Wu.

He was very successful!

He was so successful that he poked the hornet's nest!

Zuo Mo and the others who had been blinded due to the [Silver Light Flashbang] suddenly felt ferocious murderousness. Without even thinking, they threw out attacks in the direction of the source!

Zuo Mo's hand swiped and the sun axe appeared in his hand. He ignored the white nothingness he saw and threw in the direction of the murderousness with a loud shout.

Almost at the same time, Wei Sheng and Luo Li attacked!

Jin Xiao Yu felt a great sense of danger. He paled and didn't dare to think carefully. The little arrows around him rained on the group.

He did not look at his results. He put all his power into retreating!

Boom!

An enormous explosion sounded behind him, and then a wave of air as tangible as a wall hit his body.

He reacted quickly. Shen glyphs lit up over his body. He was like an untethered dry leaf that was thrown outwards with the wave of air.

Inside, Jin Xiao Yu's mind was in uproar, his limbs cold!

If he hadn't escaped quickly from the attack just now ... ...

Ambush!

This was an ambush!

He was in the air at present and could see the scene under him. His heart continued to sink.

The four ring masters were also engaged!

One was fighting with a bird, another with a dark gold mo puppet. The third had an even stranger opponent, it was a little person dressed in black that was smaller than a hand.

But the one that was in the worst state had a female opponent! This female's figure was unpredictable and ethereal. She did not give any signs of attack, and completely dominated this ring master.

Jin Xiao Yu almost didn't believe his eyes.

How could so many experts pop up? What group of freaks was this?

If he had just a guess before this, he was sure now that this was a planned out trap!

When he saw the appearances of Zuo Mo and Wei Sheng, his face paled.

Mo Cloud Sea!

No wonder there were so many experts. It was Mo Cloud Sea!

Jin Xiao Yu was decisive. The shen glyph at his forehead flashed and his panicked voice sounded in everyone else's minds at the same time. "Retreat! It is Mo Cloud Sea! This is a trap!"

Everyone's' expression immediately changed!

Mo Cloud Sea!

Ever since Tian Huan targeted as Mo Cloud Sea, as their greatest enemy, their spying of Mo Cloud Sea. They gradually learned the power of Mo Cloud Sea.

If one had to say what part of Mo Cloud Sea gave the strongest impression, it was not forging, not wealth, not their turtle-like jinzhi, but that list of names that could not be dismissed. That list was one that even a titan like Tian Huan was jealous of!

They had so much talent that it was incomprehensible. That tiny place had so many strong people!

It was a gathering of monsters!

———

When Mi Wu heard Jin Xiao Yu's shout in his mind, he finally remembered who this emaciated Dhyana xiu was!

Zong Ru!

The strongest Dhyana xiu of Mo Cloud Sea, the one who caused an apparition to appear when he came out of seclusion, Zong Ru!

No one knew how strong Zong Ru was. Mi Wu now had some understanding after the fight today. Zong Ru should be stronger than the ring masters but a step below the four seats.

However ... ...

Mi Wu stared at the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff in Zong Ru's hand with red eyes. When was a child of the Mi Family ever jealous of other people's equipment because it was better than theirs!

Born in luxury, for the first time, Mi Wu felt he was poor.

He could clearly feel the power of this Dhyana staff!

Even if it was not a shen device, it was not far off!

Mi Wu's heart bled. He was furious and sad. Zong Ru was not among the top ranked experts of Mo Cloud Sea, yet even he could have a Dhyana staff of this level!

Was Mo Cloud Sea rich to such a level!

With the Three Manifestation Treasure Staff, Zong Ru's strength was increased greatly. The difference between the two smaller. With the staff, Zong Ru was able to keep him engaged, unable to retreat!

Heart dripping blood, Mi Wu took a deep look at Zong Ru. The shen glyph on his body flashed and he disappeared.

Jin Xiao Yu and Mi Wu's thoughts of retreating were correct.

But sometimes, knowing the right action was not enough.

Translator Ramblings: And then there were 12 golden riiiiiiiiiings ... ...

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty One – Unexpected

Mi Wu and Jin Xiao Yu were a level stronger than the others and immediately retreated but the four ring masters that had come along were not so lucky.

Wu Zhen was one of the ring masters under Mi Wu's command. He had a firm foundation, was both skilled and experienced in battle. He never feared a hard fight. He was just slightly weaker than Mi Wu. Expecting a hard battle, Mi Wu had taken him along this time.

From the start of the fight, they had the initiative on the battlefield.

Everything had gone smoothly according to plan. If the enemy was not prepared, A strange things like the [Silver Light Flashbang] made it likely they had a one in two chance of success on the first strike.

Wu Zhen had sneaked towards someone near Zhong De. He could see that this person was of high status.

In the white silver light, he moved closer like a ghost.

The other was about to enter his attack range. If he went a bit closer, he could strike for the kill!

At this time, he had a feeling and he unconsciously flashed to the side.

Hiss!

A streak of fire brushed past his body.

Wu Zhen's heart jumped. Did the enemy have people that were not affected by the [Silver Light Flashbang]?"

Before he could think, another dot of fire lit up.

Wu Zhen did not retreat at this time. Shen glyphs appeared on his hand, and he pointed fearlessly at the streak of fire!

Boom!

He felt a burning flame burrow into his body through his finger!

Hiss, he inhaled sharply. The shen glyph lit up, and his shen power expanded dramatically to force this fire out of his body. Then he finally saw the attacker, the ambusher was a bird!

Wu Zhen's finger had contained the power of Tian Huan's shen glyph. Silly Bird was also affected and took a few steps back.

These steps looked normal but infuriated the usually proud Silly Bird!

When had Bird-jie ever been defeated like this!

She spread her wings as though she was about to take off. With a bright crow, bright red flames were sprouted from her mouth.

Wu Zhen instinctively felt the danger of the flames. He ignored everything else and retreated.

Silly Bird's wings flapped even faster. The flame seemed to leapt towards Wu Zhen as though it was alive.

The flames were extremely quick and drew out a blinding streak of fire in the air and caught up with Wu Zhen in a flash.

Wu Zhen took a deep breath. The shen glyph appeared. His hand raised and sliced down suddenly like a knife!

The fire line that was flying towards him was cut in two and flew past him on both sides of his body. Wu Zhen's worries eased slightly. He didn't know what kind of yao beast was this strange bird for it to be so strong!

Then, in his peripheral vision he saw that the two lines of flame suddenly arc in two curves and form a circle!

This was ... ...

Wu Zhen was startled. Before he could react, his body suddenly froze!

He was trapped in a strange force field!

This fire was strange.

Wu Zhen's heart continued to sink.

At this time, the shouts of Mi Wu Daren came from his mind. "Retreat! This is Mo Cloud Sea! This is a trap!"

Wu Zhen could not maintain his calm and changed expression.

———

The white light dissipated, and Zuo Mo's vision returned to normal.

But Zuo Mo had never suffered a great loss. Looking at the figures that were growing further away, his heart burned with fire.

Snap!

Lil' Pagoda appeared in Zuo Mo's hand.

The blinding golden sun shen power covered Zuo Mo and Lil' Pagoda

Zuo Mo breathed and his power surged. He seemed to be swinging an axe heavier than himself and his entire body was swung up!

Exhaling, he used all of his strength and threw the chubby Lil' Pagoda into the air!

"Good son! Your turn!"

Covered in golden light, Lil' Pagoda was like a blinding golden meteor that roared as it flashed towards the fleeing people like lightning.

"Yi yi ah ah!"

Covered in sun shen power, Lil' Pagoda appeared mighty as its top pointed forward. Its chubby eaves were tightly pressed to its body as it produced incomprehensible sounds.

Zuo Mo's throw was so powerful it was almost unimaginable. One could not forget that he had cultivated the Great Day mo physique in the past, and the results of ancient shen power on refining the power was even more outstanding.

Wu Ru heard the sharp howl coming behind him and was astounded.

He was a ringmaster under Jin Xiao Yu. He was a clever person so when he received Mi Wu Daren's order, he did not hesitate before moving out.

While he was slightly disheveled, he was not wounded. He was slightly reassured.

When he heard the sound of something splitting the air behind him, he turned his head and saw a bright ray of light flying towards him.

So fast!

His pupils suddenly contracted. In a blink, the golden light came close to him and there was no time for him to dodge.

He snorted coldly. He raised his right arm lightning fast. Threads of shen glyphs lit up and covered his right arm.

That ball of golden light grew closer and Wu Ru finally saw what was covered by the golden light. He couldn't help but freeze slightly. What was that ... ...

However, he reacted quickly. With a shout, he punched towards the ball of light!

Boom!

A fist energy that was formed from shen power left his hand and headed for the ball of light!

Just as the two were about to collide, Li' Pagoda suddenly somersaulted.

The ball of light made a strange change in direction and dodged the fist energy!

"Pagoda Pagoda Back Throw Skill!"

An even stranger event occurred. With this somersault, Lil' Pagoda threw out all of the golden light that covered its body. The golden light that was cast out turned into a sun shen axe!

The sun shen axe flew towards Wu Ru's face.

Wu Ru's expression changed. He could not do anything except unconsciously use his right arm to protect his face.

Boom!

The shen glyphs on his right flashed as his arm flew into the air with a spray of blood. Wu Ru flew backwards as though he had been struck by a heavy mallet.

It was a pity that he could not see Lil' Pagoda swelling up like a balloon, its two small eyes almost disappearing due to the swollen flesh.

"Woosh!"

Mist rushed out of Lil' Pagoda's mouth like a herd of horses!

No one could imagine such a great tide flood forth like water from an enormous dam from such a small body.

In a blink, the surroundings became a sea of mist. Not just Wu Ru, even Jin Xiao Yu who was close was swallowed by the mist that surged out.

With this, Lil' Pagoda spat out all of the mist it had consumed in the Mist Hall.

When he threw Lil' Pagoda out, Zuo Mo had summoned the Ghost Mist Child.

In the area covered by the ghost mist, the Ghost Mist Child was king!

The Ghost Mist Child waved his hand the mist sea suddenly flew towards Zuo Mo carrying Wu Ru and Jin Xiao Yu.

The Ghost Mist Child who had wanted to give a good display felt heated at such a good opportunity. His figure changed and an ancient mist giant the size of a mountain appeared in people's views.

"Mortals! Tremble!"

The thunderous bellow of the mist giant caused people to shake.

In this moment, even Zhong De's, usually expressionless, face twitched when he raised his head to see the astounding big body of the mist giant.

What kind of monsters did this guy raise?

Jin Xiao Yu recognized the danger and didn't dare to hesitate. With a muffled grunt, a shen glyph at his chest split. Furious shen power filled his body. His six senses immediately multiplied in sensitivity. He immediately found the heavily wounded Wu Ru.

"Hiss!"

His body disappeared and he appeared almost at the same time next to Wu Ru. He grabbed the nearly unconscious Wu Ru and with a few flashes, he disappeared.

The mist giant that was waiting to attack froze where he stood.

The cooked chicken flew away!

Zuo Mo and the others prepared to give chase when Zhong De suddenly shouted, "Quick, to the Abyss Fiend Jail!"

Zuo Mo's mind immediately became clear and he shouted, "A Gui, come with me. Everyone else, protect General Zhong! Silly Bird, do not let them escape!"

Then he grabbed Shi Pei, "You, lead the way!"

Shi Pei seemed to be made from the same mold as Zhong De. Even while wounded, he was still expressionless. He pointed towards a direction and said, "There!"

Zuo Mo and A Gui rose into the air and flew at full speed in the direction Shi Pei pointed in.

If they could capture Li Xian Er, they would have an absolute advantage.

Zuo Mo's despondency was swept away and he was full of spirit.

———

Li Xian Er sat and curiously examined the surroundings. "So this is the famed Abyss Fiend Jail!"

Ban Xia did not dare to underestimate this fragile-looking female. If the Abyss Fiend Jail did not suppress power, the other would be able to kill him with a finger.

Li Xian Er did not seem to be worried for her own safety and was curiously and idly examining the surroundings.

The Abyss Fiend Jail was a restricted land of Xi Xuan and rarely known to outsiders. Even the great majority of normal disciples in Xi Xuan had not heard of it.

It was a great opportunity to come to the restricted land of Xi Xuan and personally study it.

Li Xian Er knew a bit about the Abyss Fiend Jail.

When Xi Xuan found this place, it was filled with dangerous fiend souls. However, because the position of the Central Plains were too good, the Xi Xuan of the past decided to set up their sect here.

This dangerous deep abyss was changed into a jail to imprison their powerful enemies.

In the Abyss Fiend Jail, any person's power would be suppressed to a very low level. The place was filled with jinzhi and could not be avoided. Even so, because this was an important area of the sect, no one dared to slack off. The Abyss Fiend Jail still had a battalion stationed there.

The battalion that was stationed at the Abyss Fiend Jail were comprised mostly of criminals. They needed to destroy their cultivation and then enter the abyss before starting cultivation from the beginning. Because this place was filled with extremely dense fiend wind, they need to absorb the fiend zephyr into their body and turn it into their power.

This meant that they would not be suppressed by the fiend wind.

Red fiend zephyr floated in the wind. These zephyrs were extremely dangerous like poison. However, Ban Xia had prepared. He had consumed the special lingdan. As to Li Xian Er, that wasn't for him to worry about.

These red fiend zephyrs shot into the air from the unfathomable abyss.

From far away, it looked like a red waterfall flowing in reverse.

Of the fiend zephyrs that charged out of the abyss, there would occasionally be one or two immature fiend souls that came out. When these fiend souls came out, they would be crushed by the jinzhi.

Li Xian Er imperceptibly frowned. These fiend souls were too weak and this was why the jinzhi were able to destroy them. She had a great understanding of formations and she could see with a glance that these seal formations were not just limited in power, they were old and lacked maintenance. The power they had was not great.

She stayed there silently and waited for the mission to start.

Suddenly, the shen glyph at her forehead lit up and Mi Wu's urgent voice suddenly sounded. "Xian Er, run! It's a trap!"

Li Xian Er's eyes suddenly opened.

Ban Xia detected this and hurriedly opened his eyes. "What is it? Miss Li?"

Li Xian Er did not seem to hear him. A shen glyph suddenly lit up inside her body. A vast presence surged like an unsealed ocean.

She had activated the jinzhi that Chief Elder had set in her body personally!

Li Xian Er was the future sect leader of Tian Huan. For safety, the chief elder had placed protective jinzhi in her body and also told her the shen methodology to activate them. This was adding a lifeline for her.

The fiend zephyrs in the surroundings were pushed aside by an invisible force. The hampered shen power started to flow, and the familiar power came back inside her body.

Looking at Ban Xiao in front of her, a hint of murderousness flashed through Li Xian Er's eyes. The shen glyph flashed.

A bloody hole suddenly appeared at Ban Xia's forehead.

Ban Xiao's terrified and puzzled expression froze on his face. Before he could make a sound, he fell over face first.

"Hey, again. Funny to see you here!"

A familiar voice came from the exit.

When she saw the incomer, Li Xian Er's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Zuo Mo!"

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Two – Ming Yue Ye

On the mountain peak, Gu Liang Dao sat alone as he stared dazedly in the distance.

"What are you thinking?"

A voice came from behind him. Xiao walked over, concern in his calm eyes. He knew just how difficult this decision was for Gu Liang Dao.

"I don't know." Gu Liang Dao shook his head, his voice hoarse. "Xiao, what do you think?"

"No matter what you choose," Xiao calmly shrugged, "even if you want to destroy Xi Xuan, I will not object, as long as you are happy."

Gu Liang Dao's eyes recovered some spirit and he laughed. "Why would I destroy Xi Xuan?"

"Then taking over Xi Xuan is a normal thing to do." Xiao said with a relaxed expression. "Do not put too much pressure on yourself, you are not the savior. Xi Xuan is fated to die, even if you promise Zhong De. In time, there will be no Xi Xuan left, only Gu Liang Dao."

Gu Liang Dao's expression eased slightly. His expression was filled with puzzlement. "Why would Zhong De choose me?"

"I don't know." Xiao spread his hand and said helplessly, "You know, as one of the lowest ranked accountants in Xi Xuan before, I'm completely ignorant about high level secrets."

Gu Liang Dao was amused and laughed. Moments later, he calmed down and his spirit had recovered. "I have already talked with Shuang Yu. He is in Mo Cloud Sea, he said that Lil' Miss is about to do something big."

"Mo Cloud Sea is not someone that would swallow and bear it." Xiao said with a smile, "None of them have a good temper. Oh, what did Shuang Yu say about the offer?"

"The same as you." Gu Liang Dao smiled, a hint of warmth flickering in his eyes.

"That's what it should be." Xiao said as a matter-of-fact. "We were minor characters in the past, what does Xi Xuan have to do with us? Why are you thinking so much? He wants to give it to you, if you want it then take it. If you don't, just refuse. Do you also want to vie for the world?"

"Vie for the world?" Gu Liang Dao was silent for a moment before laughing. "I do not have this ability. My wish is to not fail the brothers that followed me."

"Everyone knows this." Xiao comforted Gu Liang Dao. "Everyone's families have been brought over. We owe Zhong De for that. If you do not want to accept, we can think of another way to pay back Zhong De."

"Zhong De's plan is to give a third of the territory, the area near Tian Huan to Brother Zuo for them to block Tian Huan for us." Gu Liang Dao's expression became solemn. "And there will be about five hundred jie that will be given to us. He will help cleanse them."

"Five hundred jie!" Xiao inhaled sharply, and his expression became grave.

"Would we be able to take it?" Gu Liang Dao looked at Xiao. Xiao was his chief steward, and no one knew their wealth better than he did.

"No." Xiao shook his head and showed a grimace. "Our foundations are too shallow and we lack personnelle."

Xiao counted on his fingers. "We know the state of Xi Xuan. The management at all levels are basically controlled by those families. Zhong De will definitely eliminate these people. We can promote some people from below, but Xi Xuan has rotted for so many years. It is not so easy to set up the infrastructure again"

Xiao sighed lightly. "I really admire Little Mo Ge right now. He started preparing for expansion a few years ago. While there isn't any special talents in their ranks, they have a large group of intermediate ranks that will be useful now."

"That is a group of monsters." Gu Liang Dao also grimaced. He turned and asked, "How many jie can we accept at maximum?"

"Just by ourselves, one hundred and fifty jie!" Xiao gave a specific number. "This is only because Big Brother still has a high reputation in Xi Xuan and can pull over many people. However, if we add Zhong De's support, we might be able to do it, but this will leave behind a great weakness."

Gu Liang Dao grimaced, but his eyes lit up with sprit.

———

Due to Kun Lun's interference, the inner conflict of the yao became even more intense. From the surface, there were no differences in strength between the two sides.

Most of the experts that Ming Yue Ye had were the shen power experts of the new generation. She also controlled the core secrets of the yao's shen power. Many people also forgot that she also controlled the Genius Alliance, this association that did not seem to be of any actual use in the eyes of the higher ranks.

She controlled the strongest yao shen methodology and had a large group of talented youths under her. She had managed the Genius Alliance until it was impenetrable. And her motivated philosophy was accepted widely by young people.

After focused attention over seven years, Ming Yue Ye's strength had quickly expanded.

Just like the mo had a hard time when cultivate shen power after reaching marshal level, the yao shen power methods were the same. The power of the sky yao was already fixed, and they were not suited to further cultivating shen power.

When the council of elders realized this, they were full of regret.

But the council of elders did not lack for experts. They still controlled the strongest existences that represented the traditional yao arts, the sky yao.

Looking from the perspective of future potential, the sky yao were not as talented as the geniuses, but in terms of current strength, there was not such a great difference between the two.

One side was the peak existence of traditional yao arts, the other were the genius youths that cultivated shen power.

With the addition of Kun Lun's interference, the collision between the two was fierce.

Everyone knew that there was no way the conflict would be resolved peacefully. Intense conflicts occurred and both sides suffered heavy fatalities.

Other than the secret battles between experts, the fighting between the two sides were not limited to one area.

———

Youqin Lie was expressionless. After Nan Yue and the others returned to Mo Cloud Sea, the pressure on him increased.

The Council of Elders and Ming Yue Ye fought and they were also affected.

Everyone looked towards Youqin Lie. Their breathing became rushed. They had a feeling that Boss' background was about to be revealed.

"We will support Elder Ming Yue Ye." Youqin Lie said indifferently.

The group all had expressions of realization. So Boss' background was Elder Ming Yue Ye! Actually, when Ming Yue Ye had mentioned Liang Wei, they had speculated that the power behind Boss was Elder Ming Yue Ye. The arrival Nan Yue and the other shen power experts seemed to prove this. Weren't those outrageously young and powerful guys the same as those from the legendary Genius Alliance?

"Hem!" Youqin Lie coughed deliberately. "Everyone remember, we did not do anything before this."

"Yes yes yes, we did not do anything!"

"Ah! What did we do? We slept and ate every day!"

"I was in seclusion all this time."

All of the members had expressions saying "I know" "We understand."

"Hem!" Youqin Lie showed a cruel and ruthless expression. "Our work has been good, the higher ups are satisfied. Everyone needs to work harder in the future."

Everyone was full of joy. They had managed to launder themselves clean.

Youqin Lie managed to reach out to and form a connection with Ming Yue Ye.

The conflict between the Council of Elders and Ming Yue Ye also affected his territory. He immediately realized that this was a one in a thousand chance, and unhesitatingly sided with Ming Yue Ye, giving up his own territory.

Youqin Lie's youth and his experienced skills immediately won him praise from the higher-ups.

This was a trait of Ming Yue Ye's group. They favoured young talents because the majority of them were young. Youqin Lie was so young yet he had conquered such a large territory. It could be seen that he was talented. Adding on that this was a period of time that Ming Yue Ye's faction was heavily recruiting from other factions, Youqin Lie was immediately deputized as the highest-ranked supervisor in this region.

Youqin Lie took up the burden and immediately started a cleanse the region of the Council of Elder's influence. With experience from the underground world, Youqin Lie was decisive and skilled in killing. At this time, he was like a sharp knife that fit the hand.

Pu Yao sneaked into the Ten Finger Prison, and faked large amounts of investigation reports on Youqin Lie. His cover was flawless.

The state of the world was turbulent, the yao were all worried. Many people even thought that this inner conflict would continue for a long time, and would even cause the yao into civil war.

Yet no one would have thought that it would finish so quickly.

Ming Yue Ye's skill that was a step above others and once again showed its effectiveness.

Just as everyone was focused on the inner conflict between the yao, Mu Xi Corps silently started a campaign against Kun Lun!

Yes, Kun Lun, the hegemon of the world, Kun Lun!

With astounding presence, Mu Xi Corps successively took back seven jie that Kun Lun had taken over!

The military was shocked, the yao were shocked, the Council of Elders was shocked, the world was shocked!

That was Kun Lun!

Ming Yue Ye was so daring to attack Kun Lun proactively. She stepped on Kun Lun to display her resolve.

What people felt most incomprehensible was Ming Yue Ye had succeeded!

When the new of this battle was sent back to the yao, everyone went crazy! Ming Yue Ye who had taken back the occupied territory and reached a peak in her reputation. She wasn't just loved by the people, even the prestigious families that had originally supported the Council of Elders started to lean towards her!

A powerful and united yao benefited everyone!

The situation seemed become one-sided for Ming Yue Ye.

Facing Ming Yue Ye who had won that battle, the Council of Elders shrank back and hid. At this time, fighting against Ming Yue Ye was not wise.

They knew that Ming Yue Ye needed to face Kun Lun's anger next.

All of Kun Lun was angry!

When did someone dare to attack Kun Lun!

Offense on the dignity of the hegemon could not be tolerated!

Kun Lun did not hesitate. Mu Xuan, the eight ranking battle general of the ten great battle generals, led six battalions as they ferociously pressed towards the yao borders.

A great battle was about to occur!

This great battle between Kun Lun and the yao attracted the eyes of the world.

Everyone wanted to see how Kun Lun, the hegemon of the world, was going to get their honor back. They also wanted to see how Ming Yue Ye, called "the strongest female" would respond.

Kun Lun needed to recover face through battle. Ming Yue Ye also needed continued victories to maintain the support of the people. If she failed, she would be the criminal that started a war. Her reputation would plummet. The situation with the Council of Elders would immediately reverse, and she would receive a destructive blow. People would doubt her. But if she won, she believed that the Council of Elders would not have any chance at all.

Both sides needed victory!

This was fated to be a great and terrible battle!

Translator Ramblings: And Zuo Mo now has a spy in the yao.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Three – Weaving Girl's Shuttle

Zuo Mo and Li Xian Er faced off.

"I hadn't thought that I would encounter Mister Zuo. It is a happy occasion when old friends to meet." Li Xian Er smiled without any nervousness.

"Yes, yes!" Zuo Mo said with a snicker. He examined Li Xian Er, as though he was seeing a pile, no, a mountain of jingshi

"Last time in the mo territories, I saw Mister Zuo and wanted to experience it myself. How about a battle today?" Li Xian Er's face was full of spirit.

"Fighting? Of course there has to be a fight, but it is two of us against you!" Zuo Mo said scoundrelly and then moved without any hesitation!

As though she was connected with his mind, almost at the same time, A Gui disappeared from beside him.

Damn it!

Li Xian Er cursed inside. She had originally intended to use words to herd Zuo Mo to get a chance to fight one on one. Usually, in front of a woman, there were rarely any men that were willing to embarrass themselves and gang up on the woman.

If there was a one-on-one fight, Li Xian Er had some confidence that she could handle Zuo Mo. This was her only chance to reverse the situation.

She hadn't expected Zuo Mo to completely ignore her. She didn't know if Zuo Mo had seen through her intentions or if he was such a scoundrel.

But she reacted quickly. The Abyss Fiend Jail had a great effect on suppressing power. She had the Chief Elder's jinzhi to counteract this force, but the enemy didn't.

She may have a chance!

Her eyes suddenly lit up. If she could kill Zuo Mo, then Mo Cloud Sea was finished!

Tian Huan had studied Mo Cloud Sea in depth. Mo Cloud Sea had many strong people. Wei Sheng, Gongsun Cha, Bie Han and others. All of them were stars in their own right. However, there was one person that was the pillar of the faction, Zuo Mo.

Tian Huan thought hard of to find a to kill Zuo Mo but found in the end it was almost impossible. Zuo Mo's strength was unfathomable. The only other faction in the xiuzhe world who could reach this level was Lin Qian's Kun Lun.

But a chance appeared like this!

Li Xian Er's fighting spirit rose, a hint of determination flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Other than the Chief Elder's jinzhi, she had something else powerful enough to determine the battle—Weaver Girl's Shuttle!

Tian Huan's only shen device raiment!

The shen power inside her body moving, the shen glyphs appeared on her exposed skin like blooming roses. An exquisite pink battle armor appeared on her body. The layers of pink plates were like the petals of pink flowers. No one would think that this beautiful and slightly adorable battle armor was the strongest shen device raiment of Tian Huan, the [Weaver Girl's Shuttle].

Yet in Zuo Mo's eyes, Li Xian Er wasn't adorable at all.

The surging shen power caused Li Xian Er to look like a furious whirlpool. Zuo Mo had to pause. If he charged in now, he would be pulled into the shen power whirlpool.

Zuo Mo knew very well the power of a shen power whirlpool. He, in fact, had a small whirlpool inside his right hand. However, the shen power coming off Li Xian Er was enough to tear him to pieces.

As expected!

Just as Zuo Mo retreated, he heard a "brnng" sound next to his ear.

The seemingly adorable armor plates on Li Xian Er stood on end. A powerful presence immediately rushed outwards like a twister that lost control!

Zuo Mo's expression changed slightly. He reacted quickly, golden light appeared on his right hand. A small axe appeared in his palm. With a shout, he threw the little axe towards Li Xian Er.

Zuo Mo did not stay idle. Three sun shen thorns glided along the ground like nimble vipers that flew silently towards Li Xian Er.

Li Xian Er flicked out a pink ray of light that hit the sun shen axe. The sun shen axe seemed to be frozen mid-air.

Her pink-clad feet lightly tapped and a pink ripple spread. Pia pia pia, the three sun shen thorns were crushed into powder.

In the entire process, she didn't even look at Zuo Mo.

Snap snap snap!

A burst of explosions sounded above her heads. She was like a blurry purple mist. A Gui was like a ghost that flashed in and out of view. The two were attacking at a rapid rate.

Zuo Mo was astounded. He knew that as the first seat of Tian Huan Li Xian Er was strong. The only person that ranked above her was the Chief Elder. However, he found after fighting her that Li Xian Er was stronger than he imagined!

She was much stronger than the people he had fought just now!

Zuo Mo took a deep breath, and his spirit burned like fire. No matter what, he had to capture Li Xian Er today! Only if he took down Li Xian Er could he realize his strategy.

Zuo Mo did not hesitate any longer and advanced!

———

Li Xian Er was astounded. The other two was not affected by the find souls!

What she did not know was that Zuo Mo and A Gui had spent a long time in the Sealed Extinction Battlefield and they had developed a resistance against corruption from fiend souls. Additionally, Zuo Mo cultivated the sun shen power which was the bane to all things corrupt. A Gui's Undying Shen Power was the complete opposite, having a strong affinity for fiend souls. She could absorb these yin and corrupt existences. This was the perfect battlefield for A Gui.

Li Xian Er was shocked but not afraid. She was still calm.

The other did not have the upper hand even two against one.

Shen power appeared continuously through the shen glyphs. She didn't have any feelings of tiredness and was filled with fighting spirit. In the sect, the other shidi were not a match for her, and no one dared to really fight against her.

She had great strength but not a lot of real battle experience.

Of the two enemies, Zuo Mo's attacks were broad and open, while A Gui's were unpredictable. The two completely different styles forced her to focus.

However, this caused her to improve quickly. After the initial panic, she gradually calmed down.

The shen glyphs inside her body had an indescribable resonance with the Weaving Girl's Shuttle. This profound resonance caused her consciousness to be clear and hold every corner of the battlefield in her mind. She could clearly feel the shen glyphs inside her body become more active under the simulation of the Weaving Girl Shuttle. It seemed to be a powerful heart that gave her endless shen power and filled her with strength!

As expected, only strong enemies could cause him to improve faster!

Li Xian Er felt unprecedentedly powerful. Her eyes narrowed sharply!

Some of the Weaving Girl's Shuttle's scales started to show exquisite patterns like roses. It was like a sleeping beast gradually waking.

Her attacks immediately became stronger.

As she moved, the pink shen power ripples were filled with fatal danger.

———

Zuo Mo felt the pressure increase.

The techniques of shen power were not as complex as spells. Most of them were simple, and what determined their power was the strength of shen power!

Li Xian Er's shen power was becoming stronger. This was why he was feeling the pressure increase.

Yet he didn't feel any fear. Under the stimulation of great danger, the sun shen power inside his body became unusually active. The golden shen power burned like flowing lava and made Zuo Mo feel as though he was about to burn up.

"Kill!"

Zuo Mo's body flashed dark gold. With a shout, the Anti Dragon Claw he held had a layer of blinding golden energy. He swung towards Li Xian Er as though he was holding a two-handed axe!

At this time, he could not care about something like capturing the enemy live!

The air started to ignite where the Anti Dragon Claw had passed.

The golden axe energy flickered and spat like the tongue of the sun's flame.

Li Xian Er's eyes widened. A long pink shuttle flew in front of her. Li Xian Er's nimble left hand drew in the air lightning fast.

The long pink shuttle moved through the air at astounding speed. In a flash, a pink rose wall took form. Every flower petal could be clearly seen. They were in layers, exquisite and beautiful.

The furious sun shen axe cut hard onto the pink rose wall.

Booom!

The pink rose wall seemed to be weak. It immediately shattered and flew in all directions.

Yet Zuo Mo's expression changed. The Anti Dragon Claw seemed to have cut into cotton. Invisible power was stopping it, or wrapping around it, or pulling at it.

The sun shen axe that had been unstoppable was halved immediately in presence.

Zuo Mo did not have time to be startled when he felt a stirring of danger.

He saw pink flowers spinning in the air around him. They had not dissipated!

Zuo Mo was experienced in battle. With a look he knew there was a killing move coming!

Immediately, he waved the Anti Dragon Claw around to protect his body.

Brrng!

The delicate pink flower petals dancing in the wind suddenly tensed, becoming hard, and then shot at Zuo Mo!

Ding ding ding!

Zuo Mo's Anti Dragon Claw moved and securely protected him. The pink flower petals hit the circle of light like raindrops on banana leaves and caused sprays of sparks.

These seemingly delicate flower petals were astoundingly powerful.

Powerful ripples from the collision caused Zuo Mo's feet to continue to sink into the ground. In a flash, all of Zuo Mo's calves had sank into the rock.

The storm of attacks forced Zuo Mo to instinctively wave the Anti Dragon Claw!

At this time, Li Xian Er was fighting fiercely with A Gui.

———

Li Xian Er could clearly feel that A Gui was more difficult to deal with than Zuo Mo. Other than the unpredictable and erie attacks, A Gui's grey crystal battle armor was not ordinary.

The grey crystal armor caused A Gui to merge with her surroundings no matter where she appeared. Adding on A Gui's eerie and unpredictable movements, even Li Xian Er felt a headache.

What shocked her even more was that A Gui's shen power contained a great presence of death.

Such a great death energy could only appeared on something dead. Li Xian Er almost didn't believe her eyes.

A Gui saw Zuo Mo's situation and a thread of purple flame appeared in her eyes.

Woosh, a layer of purple flames appeared on the surface of the [Undying Ghost]. The flames were extremely thin as they silently burned.

Two short bone daggers appeared on A Gui's hands. The short bone daggers were shrouded in purple flames. The grey [Undying Ghost] spread like the wings of a bird, the purple flames flowing within.

The silent purple flames seemed to be able to consume everything in the surroundings. At the border of the flames was a circle of deep blackness.

Shock suddenly flashed through Li Xian Er's eyes.

Shen device raiment!

This was a shen device raiment!

While the attributes of power were completely different, she was familiar with the unique presence of the shen device raiment. She was almost immediately sure that this was a true shen device raiment!

Heavens!

Other than [Arsonist, Mo Cloud Sea had a second shen device raiment!

Editor's note: Poor poor Li Xian Er. Arsonist, Undying Ghost, Zong Ru's staff, and Lan's armor have been revealed to some people in the world. But there has not been a true reveal for City Destroyer, Wei Sheng's God-Killing Blood Sword, Zuo Mo's Dad's shen device, and the shen nucleus. Even then Lan's armor hasn't had a true reveal. So 4 psuedo shen devices and 4 true shen devices, 8 total. Nine if they capture Li Xian Er and take Weaver Girl's Shuttle. And the Gravestone Armor too... Hoard much? Greedy greedy zombie.

Translator Ramblings: To discuss WanderingGummi's point, the shen nucleus can't be used as a weapon to fight at this point, it's just a potential shen device. You can use it to make a shen device but Zuo Mo hasn't managed to forge it yet. The [Ghost] which started off the whole thing with Zuo Mo's family is incomplete. Zuo Mo only has the pieces from Xi Xuan and Xuan Kong Temple, he's still missing the Tian Huan and Kun Lun pieces.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Four – Zuo Mo's Fury

The appearance of A Gui's [Undying Ghost] was a great blow to Li Xian Er.

A Gui immediately grabbed the other's momentary lapse in concentration and her body moved.

Almost at the same time, two purple dagger shaped energies silently appeared behind Li Xian Er like spitting snakes.

Li Xian Er detected the danger, and regretted her distraction. She lacked battle experience to have lost concentration in front of such a powerful opponent.

The Weaving Girl's Shuttle nimbly curved, and wove shen glyphs to stop A Gui's attack.

Yet A Gui's attack was fast. Li Xian Er lost the initiative when she lost concentration. The Weaving Girl's Shuttle had only woven half of the shen glyph when the two purple daggers hit the Weaving Girl's Shuttle.

Bam!

Li Xian Er's heart shook and her inner energies roiled.

The Weaving Girl's Shuttle was blown back. An extremely thin strand of purple energy permeated the Weaving Girl's Shuttle. At the same time, a dense shen power with the presence of death silently burrowed into her body.

As Li Xian Er was pulling back the Weaving Girl's Shuttle she felt a wave of coldness along her neck. She was astounded. Shen glyphs lit up on her pink boots and she suddenly disappeared from her spot.

An eerie purple energy sliced past where she had been standing. If she had been a sliver slower, the dagger energy would have easily cut her neck in half.

Li Xian Er appeared twenty zhang away, her face ashen, and startled. Several strands of hair had been cut by the dagger energy and were dancing in the wind.

In that moment, she seemed to hear the breathing of the death god. The shen glyphs on her combat boots had spiderweb cracks. The only reason she had escaped with her life was because of the life-saving shen glyphs of the shen device raiments.

The [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] had three life-saving shen glyphs, each with different effects. There were only two left.

She was a genius and strong. However, she lacked the tempering through blood and fire, and her resolve was much lower than people like Zuo Mo and A Gui.

She gathered shen power to exterminate the purple energy that had burrowed into her body.

She suddenly felt that today was dangerous.

———

Zuo Mo felt extremely irritated today. He was being suppressed by Li Xian Er!

It was rare for this situation to occur in his battle history. However, the other's shen power was very powerful, and the shen device raiment she wore was also extraordinary. The two together immediately caused Zuo Mo to be put at a disadvantage.

Zuo Mo had always been confident in his shen power. The shen power whirlpool in his right hand could produce endless shen power. While it was not a lot, the amount was significant when accumulated over time. He was also very hardworking and his shen power had always continued to grow.

In all of Mo Cloud Sea, except for the two freaks A Gui and Eldest Shixiong, no one else's growth could rival his.

Zuo Mo still didn't understand A Gui's situation. But Eldest Shixiong was tempering and absorbing the power of the God-Killing Blood Sword. This ancient shen sword that could rival the Immemorial Shen Sword contained a terrifying ocean of power.

Zuo Mo actually felt sympathy for Eldest Shixiong. Everyday, he had to struggle in that ocean. That would not feel good. Normal people would not be able to endure such pain. Zuo Mo had tried once, and collapsed for three whole days after coming out. Eldest Shixiong received this method of cultivation that was like self-torture everyday. Consequently, Zuo Mo was not jealous of Eldest Shixiong's strength at all. No one knew better than he did how Eldest Shixiong's power had come about.

Under the motivation of the powerful and inhuman Eldest Shixiong, lured by a beautiful future full of mountains of jingshi, Zuo Mo also worked unusually hard on his cultivation.

He had cultivated for every drop of his shen power.

The whirlpool in his right hand could only be considered an aid for him at present. He needed to spend more time on cultivation. He had completely memorized the Sun Shen Methodology.

Zuo Mo was a very pragmatic person. His personality was slightly indolent, he had a bit of talent, but if he didn't have any pressure, he would be a wastrel. But if he felt pressure and danger, he would furiously move forwards to get away from the danger as fast as possible.

Mo Cloud Sea seemed to be prospering but it was surrounded by wolves. Danger was never far from them, and the pressure never disappeared from him.

There was also A Gui.

The present Zuo Mo had a strong belief he needed to protect A Gui, protect Mo Cloud Sea, and to get revenge for Sect Leader and Shishu!

Zuo Mo who did not waste any time was filled with confidence in his own strength. Yet today, he was being suppressed by someone else, and it was also a woman!

A feeling of suffocation he never had before was like a ball of fire burning inside Zuo Mo.

Blood filled his eyes. His features twisted, and his breathing was like fire!

If ... ... if he was so weak ... ... how could he protect A Gui ... ... how could he protect everyone ... ...

There seemed to be a voice echoing in his mind.

Countless scenes flashed through his mind.

———

In a dark cave.

A Gui's pale face gradually became wooden and expressionless, her sad eyes gradually turning dull. Her flawless face started to grow marks, and a dark and grey vitality spread from her body.

The gradually emptying eyes seemed to form tears.

A cold pair of hands lightly touched the face of the unconscious youth.

Everywhere the hands passed, the youth's face started to transform completely. He seemed to struggle but quickly calmed down.

The void and grey had already taken over half of the young female's face. The terrifying marks grew from her forehead to her nose.

She suddenly bent and pressed the remaining half of her smooth face to the youth's face and lightly rubbed.

"A Gui will find Young Master. Definitely!"

The young female's determined voice echoed in the cavern. A teardrop landed on the face of the unconscious youth.

When she raised her head, the terrifying marks had covered two-thirds of her face, and her eyes were almost completely taken over by the grey dullness.

She did not hesitate and stood. She took a deep look at Zuo Mo and disappeared.

There were no tears in her grey and empty eyes.

———

"We will follow Boss ... ..."

"Of course we will follow Boss ... ..."

"We have such a big territory, we need to have a name."

"Oh, how about using Boss' name?"

"Good idea! Zuo Mo Cloud Sea?"

"Please, have some skill! There is nothing poetic!"

"Well you do it!"

"Oh, then let it be Mo Cloud Sea!"

"Poetry is just having one word less?"

"It will be Mo Cloud Sea!"

"Agreed!"

"Seriously agree!"

"Woah-oh-oh, great!"

———

"So if he really is a yaomo?"

"Send him away, it will be better than him ending up in the hands of Kun Lun. We watched him grow up ... ... we cannot rebel against the orders of Kun Lun ... ... ah ... ..."

———

Curse it! Damn it! Bastard!

The fire burning inside Zuo Mo grew even hotter, so hot he felt as though he was about to combust. At this time, he was filled with a strong fury, one against himself!

His shen power could not compare to that woman!

How could it be possible!

How could it be possible!

A furious roar reverberated in Zuo Mo's chest. The burning fire inside his body suddenly exploded and swallowed him.

All of his intelligence turned to ash in this instant. He only had instinct, only dissatisfaction, only fury!

Countless flames erupted from his body and covered him completely.

The sun crystal seed that had been sleeping in his body suddenly woke up. It started to spin slowly. The sun crystal seed seemed to feel Zuo Mo' s fury. Waves of crimson red heat floated out of the depths of the sun crystal seed.

The crimson red flot turned into deep red flames once they floated out and circulated around Zuo Mo's body.

When the burning current encountered shen power, boom, golden flames flashed like the enormous solar flares rising from the surface of the sun. Vast surging shen power, like a volcano erupting, filled Zuo Mo's body in an instant.

The angry golden flames covered Zuo Mo. The snapping of the flames were clear to hear.

As the flames spat, golden ripples formed and extinguished.

———

Li Xian Er was startled. She turned around and was shocked when she saw Zuo Mo within the flames!

A pair of peaceful eyes that did not have any emotion and was indifferent to their surroundings like that of a deity.

Astounding presence spread outwards in waves from the spitting flames. Golden ripples that could be seen with the naked eyes formed and died out.

Each golden ripple was much weaker by the time it reached Li Xian Er.

But even this thin golden ripple caused an explosion and a tongue of flame shot out when it touched her presence.

Li Xian Er felt a burning heat pass to her. Her heart couldn't help but shake.

The Zuo Mo in front of her seemed to be a completely different person.

But ... ... he didn't have shen equipment!

Li Xian Er's mind was filled with terror. The shen power that Zuo Mo displayed now was so strong it almost surpassed the imagination.

Zuo Mo suddenly disappeared.

Shocked, Li Xian Er's Weaving Girl's Shuttle flew in front of her. In an instant, a complex shen glyph took form.

Almost at the same time, a blurry golden figure appeared in front of the shen glyph.

Zuo Mo was so fast that Li Xian Er could not see him with her eyes. She could only see a blurry figure.

The blurry figure quickly became clear.

–Because Zuo Mo stopped in front of the shen glyph.

Without even shifting into an attack posture, his right hand, wrapped in flames, punched the shen glyph.

Crack!

Like glass cracking, the hard shen glyph turned to powder.

The fist that still carried momentum suddenly opened and grabbed the Weaving Girl's Shuttle!

How was it possible ... ...

Li Xian Er's mind was completely blank and she was stunned where she stood. The scene that was occurring in front of her surpassed the limits of her imagination!

The golden flames wrapped around the Weaving Girl's Shuttle. The Weaving Girl's Shuttle trembled violently as though it wanted to break free of Zuo Mo's hand. Yet no matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free.

A Gui's hand appeared at the back of Li Xian Er's head.

Li Xian Er shook but before she could react, she felt something tighten around her neck. A hand covered in purple flames seemed to appear out of nowhere and grab her neck.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Five Breakthrough

Mi Wu's face was black.

Inside Tian Huan the relationship between his family and the group led by the sect leader was tense, but this did not affect the friendship between him and Li Xian Er.

Li Xian Er was mischievous from childhood, but was an honorable and honest person. He had suffered greatly due to her antics in childhood but childhood friendships were so wonderful. The two did not grow apart but became even closer.

In the era of ling power, Mi Wu's talent was not as outstanding as it was now. However, Li Xian Er dismissed him due to this and always motivated him.

This time, Mi Nan Daren had agreed to send Li Xian Er here. Mi Wu had been very angry, but he could not rebel directly against the true leader of the Mi Family. Consequently, he requested to take part in this risky mission.

Unexpectedly, Mi Nan Daren did not object.

The relationship between the four seats was not bad. Other than Sang Dong who was more of a recluse, the other people had small flaws but were within the limits of normality.

They had grown up together as children and trusted each other.

He and Jin Xiao Yu had led the assassination accompanied by four ring masters. He had thought that they would absolutely succeed with such a powerful team. However, the development of events surpassed their predictions.

In a meditative trance, Jin Xiao Yu's body shook, and Mi Wu hurriedly threw away his stray thoughts.

Jin Xiao Yu opened his eyes. Seeing Mi Wu's concerned gaze, he grimaced, "Terrible, the shen glyph has been severely damaged. It will take at least three months to fix. I only have six-tenths of my battle abilities."

Mi Wu felt bitterness in his mouth. What Tian Huan disciples feared the most was damage to their shen glyphs.

The use of shen glyphs among top disciples like them were completely different from the normal disciples. Their shen glyphs were the spring that their shen power was produced from. If the shen glyph was damaged, both the production and use of shen power would be greatly obstructed.

This was the newest method that Chief Elder had created. Tian Huan's shen glyph scripture had reached a completely new height.

However ... ...

"How are Wu Ru's wounds."

Jin Xiao Yu's voice interrupted Mi Wu's thoughts. Mi Wu comforted, "It has stabilized. But the possibility of the shen glyph recovering is not high."

Jin Xiao Yu was silent, a flicker of pain flashing through his eyes. He had personally picked Wu Ru to be a ringmaster, and the other had followed him for a long time. He never thought ... ...

Mi Wu was silent for a moment before he said hoarsely, "Wu Zhen also did not come back."

Among the twelve ring masters, Wu Zhen definitely ranked in the top three for power. For Mi Wu, the sacrifice of Wu Zhen meant that his strength would be greatly reduced.

Jin Xiao Yu sighed and said, "This trip, we really made a great misstep!" His expression was bitter. The cruel battle had cleared his mind. He asked, "Have you managed to get into contact with Xian Er?"

"No." Mi Wu bit hard on his lips that looked as though they were about to drip with blood.

Jin Xiao Yu's mouth was open, but he was speechless. Moments later, his face was dispirited.

Both of them knew they had completely failed the mission this time!"

———

"Why?" The sect leader of Xi Xuan glared at Zhong De like a wild beast at the end of the road, his eyes bloodshot.

Zhong De was expressionless. "You do not have the capabilities."

"No!" The sect leader of Xi Xuan seemed to be mad as he shouted at the top of his lungs. "Who says that I do not have the capabilities? Based on what? Based on what do you say I am not able! If you consent to Tian Huan's demands, we would have ten years of time. Ten years! With these ten years, Xi Xuan will rise again in my hands ... ..."

Zhong De's eyes did not even move. "Your Xi Xuan and the past Xi Xuan will not be any different."

"Isn't that a good thing?" The sect leader of Xi Xuan looked in disbelief at Zhong De as he howled. "How strong was the previous Xi Xuan!? One of the four titans, no one dared to go against us, we were high up, and experienced the greatest power of the world ... ..."

Zhong De said coldly, "Therefore, Yun Ji died, and I was sent to the Abyss Fiend Jail."

The howls of the Xi Xuan sect leader choked off. He looked dazedly at Zhong De. A moment later, he said furiously. "No! You cannot do this! You madman! You want to ruin Xi Xuan ... ..."

Zhong De was expressions. "The Xi Xuan of the past should not exist."

Finishing, he turned and walked away.

"You cannot do this! You cannot do this!" The sect leader was incoherent. He trembled. Terror surrounded him. He suddenly seemed to find a life-saving tether. "You cannot do this! You owe my father! You owe my father!"

Zhong De stopped walking. Without even turning his head, he threw down.

"I said to you before that I already repaid his favor."

Finishing, he left and did not linger.

"You cannot do this! Sob sob you cannot do this ... ..."

The loud screams suddenly stopped.

———

When Mi Wu and Jin Xiao Yu's reports were passed back to Tian Huan, the higher ups of Tian Huan were astounded.

Trap!

This was definitely a trap.

Mo Cloud Sea unexpectedly sent all of their top experts to set up such a trap! Tian Huan suffered great losses, and now Tian Huan was in a state where they had lost the initiative.

They tried to use all kinds of methods to get in contact with Li Xian Er but they all failed. All the signs pointed that Li Xian Er's situation was not good.

For Tian Huan, this was an unacceptable result.

The upper ranks fought fiercely. One side thought they needed to use all of their power to rescue Li Xian Er. The other side thought they should start negotiations with Mo Cloud Sea to ransom Li Xian Er back.

The side favoring negotiation quickly gained the upper hand.

The reason was very simple. Mi Wu and Jin Xiao Yu's reports had come back to Tian Huan. There were many problems that had been exposed by the battle this time. For example, Tian Huan disciples lacked combat experience. This was especially evident during battles.

Mo Cloud Sea's experts all were experienced in battle, and the experts on Tian Huan's side were mostly youths that had been promoted due to having outstanding talent at cultivating shen glyphs these past years. Many of them had been unknown before the era of shen power had started, and no special attention had been paid to them. After entering the era of shen power, their talent at cultivating shen glyphs were uncovered and attracted the attention of the sect.

They all worked very hard, and with the great investment the sect gave them, it created their strength. However, their experience in battle could not be made up so quickly. These years of time was only enough for them to work on their cultivation.

They were on a completely different level compared to the lawless bandits from Mo Cloud Sea.

The two sides had similar numbers of experts but they were unable to win.

And sending a battalion was not the best plan. If they angered Zuo Mo, Xian Er would be in danger.

After fierce fighting, the Tian Huan envoys travelled day and night to get to Xi Xuan at the fastest possible speed.

———

Zuo Mo slowly opened his eyes. The surging shen power in his body gradually calming like a furious sea becoming peaceful. He exhaled, and a ruler-straight gust of air flecked with gold appeared.

His dark gold eyes were like two small golden suns.

The sun crystal seed in his body slowed down in its revolutions. His shen power also calmed down. Burning flows continued to erupt out of the slowly spinning sun crystal seed. These burning flows were not shen power but it could perfectly meld with shen power.

In Zuo Mo's eyes, the sun crystal seed had always been a very powerful treasure. When the strange corpse had given it to him, he had said that this was something passed down by the Sun Tribe.

While the strange corpse had sealed it so that Zuo Mo could take it, Zuo Mo had never found the correct way to use the sun crystal seed.

Until today.

Zuo Mo's shen power suddenly moved, and a sun shen axe appeared on his hand.

Yet this time, the sun shen axe was clearly different than before. On the axe made from golden light, crimson red burning flames wisped. The already domineering sun shen axe became even more savage, and an indescribable burning presence spread.

The sun crystal seed was the seed of a sun. It already contained the power of the sun, and it perfectly matched with sun shen power.

In other worlds, the sun crystal seed was the best amplification device for sun shen power.

Zuo Mo's hands moved and a sun shen spike appeared in his hand. Unlike in the past, there were crimson red rings around this sun shen spike. The sun flowing flames were segmented on the sun shen spike.

So devious!

If the enemy was inattentive, the sun shen spikes would explode in segments and the sun's flowing flames inside would spray everywhere. These flowing flames that came from a true sun would burn someone until not even their bones were left.

As Zuo Mo sighed over this, he was overjoyed. Deviousness was great!

The shen power inside his body also had large amounts of sun flowing flames mixed within. With every circulation, they slowly refined his body.

This was not of visible effect in the short term, but over time the accumulation would be astounding.

He shook his head. The revolutions of the sun crystal seed, and the endless sun flowing flames could make his attacks stronger, but they could not increase his shen power.

Zuo Mo's mind suddenly moved. Theoretically, Li Xian Er was unlikely to have cultivated shen power faster than him, but the battle just now showed that Li Xian Er's shen power was stronger than his.

Had Tian Huan found a special method?

Zuo Mo's eyes unconsciously landed on his spoils of victory.

A Gui had taken the Weaving Girl Shuttle that Li Xian Er wore. Other than clothing, almost everything else had been stripped off. A Gui had been with Zuo Mo for a long time, and learned all he did.

Coming out of his sudden excitement, Zuo Mo looked at Li Xian Er and immediately had energy.

He unconsciously swallowed.

Li Xian Er's status in Tian Huan could match Lin Qian's past status in Kun Lun. Zuo Mo completely ignored Li Xian Er's beauty, his eyes staring straight at the pile of spoils at Li Xian Er's feet that A Gui had taken off.

The pink Weaving Girl Shuttle had been placed on the ground. The rose patterns were exquisite.

There were other things such as rings and bracelets. Oh, A Gu, you are too bad, you even took off her boots ... ...

Ooh, good job!

While the combat boots were slightly damaged, they could be seen from the patterns that they were exceptional.

Little Mo Ge's breathing suddenly sped up, only one thought in his mind.

They had struck it rich!

Translator Ramblings: The Xi Xuan sect leader is like a two year old throwing a tantrum. Going to be traveling for 13 hours if lucky. If not, longer. Next chapter will most likely be later than usual.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Six – Familiarity Caused by Inspecting The Spoils

Little Mo Ge needed a long time to calm his excitement before he started to carefully examine his spoils.

Naturally, the first prize he took as the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle]. Zuo Mo was curious about the supposed greatest shen device raiment of Tian Huan. While he was the inventor of shen device raiments, he was still very curious about the shen device raiments from other factions.

Tian Huan and Kun Lun were many times richer than he was.

Zuo Mo never thought that he was the most ingenious person in the world. Those as powerful as Lin Qian were the ones that really dazzled the eyes. Even the deceased Shi Zi Ming was someone he could only look up to.

He flipped the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] and looked carefully.

He was a professional. After examining for a few moments, he had to sigh at the cleverness in the design of the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle]. The [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] was made from countless formations of various sizes. Tian Huan had pushed seal formations to its limits.

The design reminded Zuo Mo of the formation forts that Mo Cloud Sea frequently used.

They were made from seal formations criss-crossed and interlinked together.

Yet the skill needed to shove the same seals from the forts into the little [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] was astounding. Even someone as skilled in formations as Zuo Mo thought he would not be able to accomplish such a task.

Yet at the core of [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] was a shen glyph.

It was the first time Zuo Mo saw shen glyphs and seal formations merged together so perfectly. One wrapped around another, as exquisite as it could be.

As expected of Tian Huan!

Zuo Mo sighed repeated as he inspected the pseudo shen device. It had been very long since something had shocked him so greatly. The forging skill in the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] was extremely high, and the forger's understanding of seal formation was almost incomprehensible.

"Who forged the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle]?" Zuo Mo suddenly raised his head to ask Li Xian Er.

Li Xian Er cooperatively answered, "Chief Elder."

She had a clear understanding of her situation. At this time, being proud and uncooperative would only bring her trouble. What eased her worries slightly was that Zuo Mo did not seem to be interested in her.

As expected, Zuo Mo made a sound of acknowledgement and turned his head back to study the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle]. Zuo Mo was familiar with the core members of Tian Huan, an enemy of Mo Cloud Sea.

Chief Elder's status in Tian Huan was unsurpassable. Before he discovered shen glyphs, many disciples didn't even know he existed. It was rare to see someone enter seclusion for decades in a restless and warring era.

So it was that old guy!

Zuo Mo realized. His eyes became even more heated and he looked even more closely.

Li Xian Er suddenly had a feeling that Zuo Mo was extremely similar to those people from Tian Huan that were obsessed with forging.

Her gaze turned to land on A Gui.

A Gui noticed Li Xian Er's gaze and only glanced once before shifting back to focus completely on Zuo Mo.

Li Xian Er knew that while A Gui didn't even look at her, if she tried to make a move at all, A Gui would unhesitatingly kill her where she stood. The rainbow light that Zuo Mo had put into her body had froze almost all of her shen power.

She thought for a long time. This light seemed to be similar to the legendary Soul Setting Divine Light.

She found this was hard to believe. Soul Setting Divine Light, this thing of the legends actually existed and it was in Zuo Mo's hands.

This guy ... ...

She remained silent and thought inside. The sect really stumbled this time. They had had too smooth of a journey recently, and this had caused all of the sect to reckless and impatient. The sect's opinion of Mo Cloud Sea had still been too low. Including her, all of Tian Huan had the same thoughts. All of them thought that the reason that Mo Cloud Sea was so powerful was because Tian Huan had not paid attention to them. If Tian Huan paid attention, Mo Cloud Sea wouldn't have a chance at all.

The situation developed as everyone had thought. When Tian Huan started to fight back, Mo Cloud Sea was immediately put in a reactive state. Mo Cloud Sea had too many weaknesses.

The alliance with Xi Xuan was the final blow to kill Mo Cloud Sea. If this plan was completed, Mo Cloud Sea would be dead.

Yet this time, they stumbled greatly.

Other than Zhong De's unexpected choice to side with Mo Cloud Sea, the magnitude of Mo Cloud Sea's explosive reaction under threat was unimaginable. She could see too many problems. She and the other sect elites were strong on paper but when they actually fought the difference in experience immediately showed.

The enemy was vicious, hardy, and fearless, all of this was beyond her imagination. In comparison, Tian Huan's elites were like flowers grown in the greenhouse. Beautiful, but could not withstand the harsh wind.

This caused Li Xian Er to feel very uncomfortable, but when she thought of her captive state, she had to admit this was true.

Deep in thought, Zuo Mo was exceptionally focused. He seemed to have forgotten the terrible environment of the Abyss Fined Jail.

The [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] seemed to have opened a new window for Zuo Mo.

Tian Huan had survived for thousands of years, and naturally had their unique traits. In Zuo Mo's eyes, Chief Elder was a true grandmaster. If Kun Lun's shen power was said to be influenced by Zuo Mo, Tian Huan's shen power was a completely new system.

Chief Elder's focused study of shen glyphs for decades had developed a completely new system on top of Tian Huan's original system.

This system was extremely valuable as reference.

A long time later, Zuo Mo finally broke free of the sea of seal formations. His face had a rare expression of tiredness. The packed seal formations, and the core shen glyphs were exquisite and clever. Zuo Mo spent great energy to understand them.

Even as powerful as he was, he felt tired.

However, his eyes were as bright as stars as they flashed with a bright light. He finally understood the secret of the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle].

He was filled with respect towards by the Chief Elder of Tian Huan who he had never met before.

Shen glyph!

Tian Huan cultivated using shen glyphs. He had heard this before, but he had never understood how their system worked. Only after seeing the Weaving Girl's Shuttle did he completely understand.

Tian Huan's shen power came from shen glyphs.

A shen glyph that could produce shen power!

There was such a shen glyph on the Weaving Girl's Shuttle that would constantly produce shen power. One portion of the shen power was stored, and another seemed to be used for Li Xian Er's daily cultivation. Li Xian Er definitely had a similar shen glyph inside her body. The two glyphs resonated with each other, and could create wondrous effects.

Of course, the construction of Weaving Girl's Shuttle was more clever than stated, but there was nothing different in terms of the fundamental principle.

Zuo Mo suddenly went forward and grabbed Li Xian Er's hand.

Li Xian Er was startled. Her expression changed slightly. Was he ... ...

A smile suddenly rose on Zuo Mo's lips. The smile grew and grew until it turned into roaring laughter.

"So it's like this ... ... so it's like this ... ..."

Hearing Zuo Mo's words to himself, Li Xian Er's heart landed back on ground yet she seemed to realize the meaning of Zuo Mo's words and her expression changed!

No, it was not so simple, Li Xian Er comforted herself.

Gradually, she gradually calmed down. It was not so easy. There were so many disciples in the sect, but how many saw the meaning? Even she who was peerless in talent spent so much time to understand shen glyphs.

When she thought of Chief Elder, she immediately calmed.

Chief Elder would definitely have a solution!

Zuo Mo sank into ecstasy. He didn't just finally understand why Li Xian Er's shen power was stronger than his, this completely new system created by Chief Elder gave him sparks of inspiration.

He even had quite a few good ideas that he could use in further forging.

More importantly, he thought of a wondrous idea.

This shen glyph was not something that average materials could withstand. It could be seen from the Weaving Girl's Shuttle that all of it was made up of valuable materials.

Also, the Weaving Girl's Shuttle only had this one shen glyph. It could not hold a second one. Also, the reason that a portion of shen power was channeled into Li Xian Er's body wasn't just to help Li Xian Er cultivate but because the Weaving Girl's Shuttle could not tolerate the full amount of shen power that the shen glyph produced.

But Zuo Mo had a perfect medium –the sun crystal seed!

It could definitely hold this shen glyph. Zuo Mo suspected that there could be similar shen glyph inside the sun crystal seed, but he had just not discovered it yet.

But no matter what, Zuo Mo was excited by today's discoveries.

Coming out of the Weaving Girl's Shuttle, Zuo Mo did not continue to study it. This was not a good place to study.

He carefully put the Weaving Girl's Shuttle back into his ring. A treasure like this could not be lost.

He started to inspect his other spoils of war.

Li Xian Er was the first of the four seats and what she had was naturally valuable. Zuo Mo was kept in a state of excitement.

Treasures flowed through his hand, each one causing his eyes to flash with the light of jingshi.

Suddenly, something at the corner of the ring attracted Zuo Mo's attention.

Zuo Mo curiously picked it up.

It was a very common-looking paper crane, a pink little thousand paper crane. Paper cranes like this were commonly used for wishes, however ... ...

Zuo Mo suddenly felt that this paper crane seemed familiar to the eye. He was puzzled. Why would he have this strange sense of familiarity?

So strange!

Zuo Mo muttered inside as he unconsciously unfolded the thousand paper crane.

Three twisted words entered his eyes.

"Ye'll wait for you!"

Zuo Mo immediately turned to stone. He finally remembered why he found this thing familiar.

Little Mo Ge froze where he stood. The three words made him feel unusually awkward. A distant memory floated out of his mind. He had never thought that he, and that horrid paper crane girl would meet once again!

And that malicious and spoiled paper crane girl was Li Xian Er!

His expression became strange.

"Hey! How can you touch other people's things?" Li Xian Er's expression became slightly panicked. For the first time, she was not calm.

Seeing Zuo Mo motionless as though he was focused, Li Xian Er suppress her panic and said with deliberate calmness, "It is a private message, there is nothing secret there."

Private message? Whose private message!

Thinking of what he endured in the past, Zuo Mo was actually not angry. While the paper crane girl had been horrid and he had been very unhappy back then, he had experienced many things since and forgotten this minor matter. It was just the prank of a bored little girl.

If he hadn't seen this paper crane from the past, he would not have remembered at all.

But it was still very awkward!

Editor's note:

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Seven – Yang Yuan Hao's Decision

Zuo Mo turned around with a serious expression. After a moment of silence, he said a sentence.

"Cough, so my writing was this ugly before!"

Puh, he didn't say this well, ge's presence was weak ... ...

Zuo Mo mocked himself, but his words did cause his awkwardness to reduce greatly.

Li Xian Er suddenly froze. She looked in disbelief at Zuo Mo as though she saw a ghost.

"In the past, you really tormented me terribly. Cough, and now karma turns back to haunt you. I hadn't ever thought that you would actually end up in ye's hands, mwhahahaha... ..."

After his embarrassment faded, Zuo Mo immediately became smug as though he had achieved a great victory over Li Xian Er. However, he did not have any hateful feelings towards Li Xian Er, but had some warm feelings instead. His time at Wu Kong Sword Mountain was probably one of the most carefree times in his life.

Li Xian Er wa still gaping with wide eyes as she stared at Zuo Mo. She couldn't speak for a while.

Zuo Mo laughed while gesturing to the crane. "Don't worry, just based on our past relationship, I will not do anything to you. When your Tian Huan envoys come, I will release you after we negotiate."

Then he turned and said to A Gui. "A Gui, take her. We're leaving."

A Gui nodded and then carried Li Xian Er. Zuo Mo brought Shi Pei as they left the Abyss Fiend Jail.

They met up with Zhong De. Everyone had expressions of joy when they saw Li Xian Er. Now they had more bargaining chips. Their strategic plan had a higher chance of success.

Zhong De's plan was full of temptation. But there were so many problems it was hair-raising to think about. For Zuo Mo, taking so many jie at once was an enormous task in times of peace, much less times of war.

If they were the slightest bit careless, they could lose it all.

After everyone was happy for a while, Zhong De bid farewell. He had much work to do. The death of the sect leader needed an explanation. At this moment, what was most important was the stability of Xi Xuan. No matter how strong Zhong De was, he just had one battalion. If Xi Xuan fell into chaos, then the situation would become terrible.

And the families that were willing to follow him or Gu Liang Dao had to be arranged for their move into their new boundaries.

This was a vast and complex process.

———

Mo Cloud Sea.

When Zuo Mo's message was received, all of the higher ranks in Mo Cloud Sea erupted. Heavens, that was three hundred jie! Everyone was astounded by this plan. Everyone was filled with respect towards Zuo Mo.

As expected of Boss!

He went out on a stroll, invested nothing and gained three hundred jie!

Even Bie Han's expression became slightly discontent. He had dragged Tang Fei, Ma Fan, and many of the others to fight until even Sin Battalion was crippled to just conquer forty five jie. But Zuo Mo, he went out for a trip, and more than three hundred jie came into his possession.

And it was the other side that was begging him to accept it for next to nothing in return!

The difference between people was so great!

Other than Bie Han who started to reflect on the value of being a battle general versus being a black-hearted business person, all of the higher ranks in Mo Cloud Sea were cheering. Soon, under Gongsun Cha's command, all the departments started to move furiously to prepare to accept more than three hundred jie.

Everyone knew that this would be a mission unprecedented in scale. This would likely be the largest and greatest transfer of territory in the history of the xiuzhe world.

Resources, battalions, manpower, they were quickly gathered.

In a shockingly short amount of time, Mo Cloud Sea had finished its preparations.

———

Other than Zuo Mo and Gu Liang Dao, no one knew of Zhong De's intentions. No one would think that there would be a madman that would hand over three hundred jie for free.

But the movement inside Zuo Mo and Gu Liang Dao's territories still set off the wariness of many factions. The gathering of battalions, the preparations of resources. Officials were constantly being summoned to Cloud Sea Jie.

All the signs pointed to the two having some great action coming up.

If someone was ignorant, they would think that the two were preparing to fight each other, but anyone with common knowledge knew that the alliance between Zuo Mo and Gu Liang Dao was unbreakable. They had not heard of any conflict between the two sides so it was not possible the two were about to start fighting.

Then there was only one possibility, the two sides were going to team up!

Who would be the target?

Kun Lun, Tian Huan, Mo Shen Temple and others immediately became nervous.

If Mo Cloud Sea and Gu Liang Dao allied together, to speak of nothing else, their offensive power could not be dismissed. The probability of Bie Han fighting was low, but one could not forget that Mo Cloud Sea still had Gongsun Lil' Miss that ranked fourth among the ten great battle generals. His Vermillion Bird Camp was also complete and whole. Gu Liang Dao was astounding powerful himself and ranked fifth. [1]

If the two battle generals ranked fourth and fifth teamed up, this would be such a strong pairing that even Kun Lun would feel threatened.

Also nervous was the Nine Great Dhyana Sect. Many people were thinking about whether their recent actions had angered Mo Cloud Sea and now it was time to settle the score.

Yang Yuan Hao was not nervous at all. He was experienced and he had an understanding of Zuo Mo. With this guy's personality, if he planned to wage war on someone, he would definitely not leak anything beforehand.

This one was faithful sneak attacker!

Fighting openly was not his style at all.

While he did not know what Zuo Mo and Gu Liang Dao wanted to do, he was sure that they were not preparing to start a war with someone.

He did not struggle over this question. He knew clearly that as long as the Nine Great Dhyana Sect did not completely side with Kun Lun or Tian Huan, Mo Cloud Sea would not act against the Nine Great Dhyana Sects.

He had been considering the sect leader's words these past days.

Previously, he had assumed that Mo Cloud Sea could not stop Tian Huan's attacks, but now, he suddenly believed that Mo Cloud Sea had reversed the situation.

Something definitely happened.

Yang Yuan Hao perceptively realized Mo Cloud Sea's silent change. If Mo Cloud Sea reversed the situation, then Mo Cloud Sea would undoubtedly be the best to side with.

It was time to make a decision.

Yang Yuan Hao stood up.

———

When Zuo Mo received the paper crane from the sect leader of Thunder Sound Temple, he was astounded.

The sect leader clearly expressed their willingness to join Mo Cloud Sea's territory in the paper crane. Other than the message from Thunder Sound Temple, a letter from Lotus Sutra Temple arrived as well. The two had clearly communicated in secret beforehand.

Zuo Mo was not too surprised by Lotus Sutra Temple's decision. They had burned their bridges with Kun Lun and Tian Huan. If they wanted to survive, they had to side with a large faction.

But Little Mo Ge was very surprised by Thunder Sound Temple's action. Thunder Sound Temple wasn't just the head of the Nine Great Dhyana sects, it possessed a powerful battle general Yang Yuan Hao. Their own strength was not something to be dismissed.

Had his words last time been effective? Zuo Mo muttered inside.

Zuo Mo did not immediately reply but started to think carefully.

He was not completely stunned dumb by what had dropped on his head from the sky. Thunder Sound Temple and Lotus Sutra Temple's allegiance had benefits and detriments.

What was good was that Mo Cloud Sea's strength would increase again. Mo Cloud Sea's strength would undoubtedly reach another peak after adding a top battle general like Yang Yuan Hao.

But there were also detriments. If the news that Thunder Sound Temple and Lotus Sutra Temple siding with Mo Cloud Sea became public, the Nine Great Dhyana Sects would immediately collapse and cease to exist. The sects would quickly divide when they felt a threat to their survival, each of them seeking a route to survival. There were only three choices, Mo Cloud Sea, Tian Huan, and Kun Lun.

Zuo Mo had thought of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects as a barrier, a buffer.

If the situation changed, the alliance of the Nine Great Dhyana Sect's dissolved, then this barrier would also disappear. Mo Cloud Sea would have territory directly bordering Kun Lun and Tian Huan. The pressure would immediately increase.

After thinking for a long time, Zuo Mo replied to the sect leader of Thunder Sound Temple. He expressed that he welcomed them and also promised that Yang Yuan Hao's battalion would receive the same benefits as Vermillion Bird Camp and Sin Battalion. But he told them to temporarily keep it a secret and for Yang Yuan Hao's battalion to prepare.

Zuo Mo thought of the plan he formed in Zhong De's tent.

If Thunder Sound Temple joined Mo Cloud Sea, then it meant that they did not need to find a way to sneak battalions to Tian Huan's rear. Yang Yuan Hao Battalion would only need to attack at an opportune time, and Tian Huan would immediately panic.

They could easily cleave the wedge-shaped area from Tian Huan's map.

Also, this was not a good time to split up the Nine Great Dhyana Sects.

Zuo Mo was full of spirit. Thunder Sound Temple that had come to him was a great bargaining chip to add to his hand.

He was even more confident.

After taking care of these matters, he threw himself back into his study of the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle]. Tian Huan's unique system inspired him.

If he could completely study it, it would be of great help to him to perfect Mo Cloud Sea's system.

Tian Huan's study of the shen glyphs were more advanced than Mo Cloud Sea.

He did not avoid Li Xian Er when he studied the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle]. Right now, Li Xian Er was a treasure in his hand, a crucial piece of his plan, and no accidents were allowed.

Supposedly, Tian Huan's envoy was about to arrive but Zuo Mo knew that Tian Huan would not give up on trying to rescue Li Xian Er. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at them from the shadows.

In order to stop a cooked duck from flying away, Zuo Mo kept Li Xian Er close by. A Gui, Wei Sheng, Ceng Lian'er, Zong Ru and the others formed a perimeter. Zhong De's Abyss Fiend Jail Battalion formed a larger encirclement on the outside.

It was so heavily guarded that not even a fly could go in.

Only now could Zuo Mo have the peace of mind to ponder Tian Huan's shen glyphs.

———

Li Xian Er could not describe her feelings right now.

That paper crane represented her childhood memories. Every time she thought back to it, she would smile. Theoretically, this should have been just a minor incident in her life, however, she always had feelings of reminiscence towards that faraway unknown "victim."

She had not thrown away that paper crane and left it in the ring as a memento.

Maybe it was the other's rebelliousness and hardiness that had left a deep imprint on her. When she had grown up, she would frequently reflect that her prank back then had crossed a line.

It was hard to see such an indescribable presence around her.

Those people around here were elegant and gentle, they were full of talent, their conduct and speech were flawless.

But they did not have that spirit.

But that playmate from her youth was actually Zuo Mo!

She was in a daze for a few days.

Also just to remind everyone of this little FX journey in writing:

Li Xian Er – Disciple of Tian Huan, granddaughter of Tian Huan's sect leader, member of the Four Seats . First appears in chapter 7, where she sends a pink paper crane to Zuo Mo. Thinking that the crane is a normal Thousand Paper Crane, Zuo Mo responds antagonistically, and starts a strange long distance abusive relationship with the Mystery Crane Girl. On several occasions Zuo Mo nearly dies due to her antics. She later appears in chapter 659, where she is sent to negotiate with Marshal De, but is later sent to deal with Xiao Mo Ge. It is later revealed in chapter 700 the alliance between Marshal Di and Tian Huan will likely be cemented through marriage. These plans are thrown into disarray as a result of the dawn of the shen era. In the shen era, she becomes the most talented member of the younger generation, is appointed the leader of the four seats, and owner of the Weaving Girl's Shuttle. She agrees to become a hostage in a risky mission for the sake of the sect, and is later appointed as the next sect leader of Tian Huan by her grandfather.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Eight – Gap

Li Xian Er looked at Zuo Mo.

Zuo Mo seemed to be possessed as he caressed the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] with his hands day and night. He completely forgot himself. Li Xian Er felt slightly ashamed. She had the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] for such a long time, but never treated or studied it so seriously.

Everyone else had become used to Zuo Mo when he became like this.

Sometimes, Zuo Mo would suddenly stop, a ball of fire would erupt from his hand, and then he would silently throw things into it. Li Xian Er could see that Zuo Mo definitely had some kind of understanding, and he was experimenting.

Then, accidents would occur.

Explosions, thick smoke, toxic mist ... ...

Li Xian Er's heart beat wildly as she watched, but when she looked around, everyone else was calm. They were meditating, practicing the sword, chanting sutras, they looked as though they were used to events like this.

This group of people ... ...

LI Xian Er suddenly had a strange feeling that this group of people were really a group of freaks. This was not the first time she observed Zuo Mo, but this was the first time she observed the rest of the group from Mo Cloud Sea at such a close distance.

The feeling they gave her was unspeakably strange.

Yet, after a period of exposure, Li Xian Er had a different feeling. This group was hard-working, exceptionally hard-working. They were always cultivating. They never wasted a moment of time. Other than seeing Ceng Lian'er occasionally sipping and savoring tea, everyone else was cultivating except when they were resting. There were even a few that she never saw resting.

This kind of mad cultivation state produced a pressure hard to describe that almost suffocated her.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in her mind.

If all of Mo Cloud Sea was like this, then it ... ... would be terrifying!

When a person talked about Mo Cloud Sea, they could not avoid discussing the string of miracles in its short history. This string of miracles created the now prosperous and strong Mo Cloud Sea. Many people though that Mo Cloud Sea's success could not be copied. They were the blessed of the heavens. Their accomplishments could not be separated from their luck. Li Xian Er had been influenced by this way of thinking. Yes, when one looked back at Mo Cloud Sea's rise, they had a powerful and wondrous luck.

But when she was in close contact with them for multiple days, her way of thinking was completely upended.

Yes! Mo Cloud Sea's rise could not be copied but not because of luck, but that it would be impossible to get a group of people like this, each full of talented, and outrageously hard-working!

Before this, Li Xian Er thought that she was hard-working. And in reality, in Tian Huan, she was very hard-working, but today, she learned that there was still a gap when compared to this group of freaks from Mo Cloud Sea.

The luck of Mo Cloud Sea now seemed like an eruption of potential, unearthed by hard work, each time they had been forced to the precipice. The hard work of this group of people reached a harsh level.

It was not strange if it was one person, but a whole crowd being so strict made people feel terror.

This stirred Li Xian Er greatly. She realized for the first time just how terrifying the enemy they were facing was!

Of everyone, the one she paid the most attention to was Zuo Mo.

Zuo Mo was the master of Mo Cloud Sea. He decided the present and future of Mo Cloud Sea, and an important enemy of Tian Huan. Also, she had some special emotions towards Zuo Mo.

She really was great. A random little thousand crane had managed to leave the famed master of Mo Cloud Sea so dishevelled.

A smile floated at the corner of Li Xian Er's mouth.

However, very soon, she was unable to smile because she saw the crude work on Zuo Mo's hand.

It was a very rough and irregular object. And it was mostly made out of low quality materials like bronze and she had watched him add many other kinds of materials.

For other sects, forging was a production method, but for Tian Huan, it was an important method of cultivation.

Increasing understanding of forging and seal formation to increase one's control of ling and shen power was a method unique to Tian Huan. This was also why Tian Huan had a near monopoly of the talisman business in the xiuzhe world. Every single member of the sect was skilled in forging. This was what was most scary.

Li Xian Er was one of the best among them and naturally great in skill. She was ranked first or second among the young disciples.

But seeing Zuo Mo forge was a great blow to her.

At the start, the golden colored fire in Zuo Mo's hand did not attract her attention until Li Xian Er realized that any material that was thrown into the flame would immediately turn to liquid. Then she started to pay attention.

When she did, she found that this extraordinary nature of the golden flames.

Shen flame!

That was a shen flame!

A flame had to surpass tenth grade and also needed shen power to produce it before it could be called a shen fire. In all of Tian Huan, only Chief Elder had a shen flame. Chief Elder's shen glyph heaven fire was a shen flame!

Other than this, no one else in the enormous Tian Huan had a shen fire. Even Li Xian Er only had a ninth-grade [Charming Beauty]. This pink beautiful flame was a great treasure that Tian Huan had spent great effort to find.

Shen flame, Zuo Mo possessed a shen flame!

She was stunned speechless, especially when she saw Zuo Mo's movements were unorthodox and without any kind of elegance or beauty. A strange feeling of unease filled her heart when she saw this. Yet, Zuo Mo's unique movements, unqualified and lacking in any beauty, did not affect his forging ability!

Zuo Mo's movements were unusually accurate, so accurate that even Li Xian Er, a Tian Huan disciple, felt embarrassed of herself.

However, Li Xian Er did not have time to feel ashamed at this time. She stared at the rough object on Zuo Mo's hand.

It was crude, irregular and ugly.

But Li Xian Er's gaze was fixed on it, and unable to move away. Shock spread through her mind.

[Weaving Girl's Shuttle]!

She actually felt an aura similar to that of [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] on that ugly object!

The strong blow caused her to lose her mind and she exclaimed, "This is not possible!"

Almost at the same time, everyone opened their eyes and looked in shock at the rough object in Zuo Mo's hands. They felt any extremely weak vibration of shen power from this crude object that seemed to be breathing.

Zuo Mo once again had a smug expression. "Tian Huan's shen glyph lives up to its reputation!"

What he had gained in these recent days almost surpassed Zuo Mo's imagination. The [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] was Tian Huan's masterwork, and contained large amounts of Tian Huan's most secret seal formations and a shen glyph.

Zuo Mo knew the value of these things. Once he absorbed these formations and shen glyphs, Mo Cloud Sea's forging level would tangibly rise a level in a very short amount of time.

Its value could not be measured.

In Zuo Mo's hand was only a rough work, but it showed Zuo Mo's understanding of Tian Huan's shen glyphs.

"It has shen power vibrations," Wei Sheng asked curiously.

"Yes, copied from Tian Huan's shen device, this thing can produce shen power, it is very interesting," Zuo Mo explained.

"It can produce shen power on its own?" Ceng Lian'er immediately became excited. Born a mo, Ceng Lian'er had an obsessive pursuit of power. Once she heard that this could produce shen power, she was like a shark that had found a prey. "Can people use it?"

"Yes." Zuo Mo nodded. "Tian Huan uses it like that. However, I need more time to completely understand it."

"Oh, Tian Huan." Ceng LIan'er turned to look at Li Xian Er. That gaze was filled with meaning and caused Li Xian Er's hairs to stand.

Soon, everyone moved their attention away. They started to cultivate and meditate again.

The crude object suddenly exploded into powder. The low-level materials could not withstand shen power. Even the tiniest bit of shen power would turn the materials into dust.

Zuo Mo did not care. A jade scroll appeared in his hand and he furiously recorded down what he learned.

After he finished recording, Zuo Mo closed his eyes and finally relaxed. After focusing to study day and night, he was tired. As he rested, he habitually thought back to his arrangements in his mind.

Suddenly, his heart jumped. He opened his eyes. How could he have forgotten such an important thing!?

"There is something important I missed." Zuo Mo said gravely.

Everyone opened their eyes and they looked at Zuo Mo.

"Zhong De's safety is related to our victory or defeat. If Tian Huan attacks Zhong De, we will be in a reactive state." Zuo Mo's expression was grave.

The joy at capturing Li Xian Er and learning the shen glyph of the [Weaving Girl's Shuttle] almost caused him to make a fatal mistake.

With their present strength, the Tian Huan experts would not have any hope of capturing Li Xian Er from them. But if they targeted Zhong De, it would not be good!

Zhong De had the protection of his army, but if the other was decisive and ruthless enough and would send enough experts to their deaths, they had the ability to sneak into the base and assassinate Zhong De. Zhong De still lacked the protection of a top expert. While this was not enough to be fatal blow at any other time, but at this crucial moment, this would put them back where they started.

And if something happened to Zhong De, the good situation they had managed to negotiate would be ruined.

Everyone's expressions became grave. Wei Sheng stood and said, "I'll go."

Zuo Mo sighed in relief. "Please, I'll trouble Shixiong. Shixiong, no matter what, do not leave Zhong De's side."

"Alright." Wei Sheng did not waste words. He turned and left.

Zuo Mo completely relaxed. Eldest Shixiong was a man of his word. If he made a promise, no matter what happened, he would definitely not leave Zhong De.

With the protection of Eldest Shixiong, and the numerous battalions surrounding Zhong De, Tian Huan would not have a chance.

Li Xian Er's heart immediately sank.

She had noticed Zuo Mo's mistake as well. If Tian Huan could take down Zhong De, they could turn defeat into victory. While Zuo Mo had seemed smug, she hadn't expected him to not forget himself.

Of course she knew of Wei Sheng. The strongest of Mo Cloud Sea, and accepted by the public as a genius that could match Lin Qian. He started as a sword servant and struggled his way up step by step. Wei Sheng was a determined person, his resolve was made of steel. He was the idol of all sword xiu other than Kun Lun.

With a person like this guarding Zhong De, and with the fearless Abyss Jail Battalion to support him, the possibility of taking down Zhong De was minuscule even in theory.

Zuo Mo felt some lingering fear. His mistake had almost cost them everything.

He became wary. For some reason, he kept on feeling a kind of danger.

After a moment thought, he decided to make his move first.

He communicated with Gongsun Cha.

"Start the plan!"

Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Nine – Counter-Attack

"Be alert!" Zou Fan scolded the guards. Looking at the sky full of snow and the howling wind, he felt slightly anxious.

The Clear Sea Storehouse that he guarded was an important resource base for Tian Huan. It had countless materials that had been transported from all over. They would be packed onto ships here, and be transported to their destinations. These were mostly mid-level and low-level materials. The types and amounts were astounding and due to this, the scale of the storehouse was also astounding.

This was Tian Huan's material transportation hub. Its importance to Tian Huan could not be described. Due to this, there was a whole battalion stationed at Clear Sea Storehouse. Other than this, there were also many experts protecting this place. However, a few days ago, the ring master that was guarding Clear Sea Storehouse had left with three of their strongest experts, saying that they had an important mission.

The careful Zou Fan felt slightly anxious. Clear Sea Storehouse was at its weakest.

If the enemy attacked at this time ... ...

This thought caused his heart to shudder but he then shook his head. It was unlikely. Mo Cloud Sea was being completely suppressed by Tian Huan. They were in a panic and did not have the energy to deal with Tian Huan.

Also, in such terrible weather, it was impossible to travel.

Clear Sea Jie was a world of wind and snow. In a year, about nine-tenths of the days were filled with wind and snow. Also, the wind and snow were so strong that this place was a world of ice and death. Those that could survive here were all powerful ice-type yao beasts.

The transportation fleets also had a hard time travelling in this kind of weather. Normal xiuzhe would not be able to fly and travel in this kind of weather. The wind and snow would tear them to pieces.

But the position of Clear Sea Jie was so important that, without any other jie around, people had to pass through here.

This kind of snowstorm was rare to see, and it really helped him greatly right now.

While he thought this, Zou Fan still increased the guard patrols on the storehouse. His gaze swept across the packed jinzhi. Much of his anxiousness dissipated. There were so many jinzhi here it was a fortress.

Zou Fan was only a silver battle general, but he was careful, reliable and worthy of trust so he had been sent to guard the Clear Sea Storehouse. His battalion was much larger than normal battalions and had been built according to the standards of a gold battle general.

Suddenly, Zou Fan's gaze focused.

There was a blue figure flickering in and out of view in the wind and snow.

Zuo Fan's heart suddenly rose into the air. There were three defensive lines in front. How had this person come in? A strong feeling of danger filled his mind. His expression changed as he shouted, "Enemy attack!"

The storehouse immediately descended into chaos, the sounds of alarms going off and jinzhi lighting up. The entire storehouse seemed to wake up from a sleep and was covered in a pressuring light.

The guards moved into the jinzhi, each of them with nervous expressions as though they faced a great enemy!

The blue figure came closer. The furious wind and snow seemed to be nothing.

Among the snowstorm, a blue figure gradually became clear. A beautiful figure that moved with an umbrella and was filled with an ethereal beauty.

A woman!

Zou Fan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong feeling of danger rose. A woman appearing out of such strong snowstorm. This was not a good sign.

The other's level of danger did not need to be stated.

"All jinzhi, prepare to attack!" Zou Fan decisively ordered.

In the wind and snow, Lan gazed at the distant fortress, the two ice blue crystals at the eyeholes of her face mask lighting up slightly. After ten thousand years, she once again stood on the battlefield!

Her icy heart suddenly became excited.

The totem sleeping among the incense of the shen temple was so lonely.

A totem's home should be the battlefield!

Born in the tribe, powerful, becoming the totem, experiencing countless years worship and reverence. They led the tribe in times of danger, protected the tribe, foughtfor the tribe, never abandoning the tribe, for the glory of the tribe!

The glory of a totem!

The distant and faded glory would once again spread the name of Lan!

The hand around the ice umbrella tightened and Lan's figure disappeared from the wind and snow.

"Careful!" Zuo Fan's pupils shrank again as he roared.

Boom!

An enormous explosion, and the snow that had accumulated on the ground exploded. A wall of snow dozens of zhang tall rose and then swept towards the storehouse!

In this moment, countless beams of light sprouted out of the fortress.

Almost unconsciously, all the guards unhesitatingly activated the jinzhi. All kinds of light rained down on the wall of snow!

The snow wall immediately split into pieces. The wild flows of air and the snow mixing together causing snow to fly into the air.

It was white everywhere they looked.

Not good!

Zuo Fan's heart jumped. Before he could respond, a blue figure flashed at the corner of his eye.

Bling bling bling!

Like hail raining down and tearing through the leaves of the banana tree, the light shield nearby shattered immediately.

Pew pew pew!

Pillars of blood shot up. Before they could land on the ground, they were frozen into droplets of ice by the cold air and was swept up with the wind and snow.

The guards widened their eyes, a chill spreading through their bodies. In a blink, they turned into people of ice.

They fell down face forward, pia, and shattered!

The wind and snow they had relied on had become the great boon for the enemy. Ice spikes shot out of the wind and snow. These ice spikes possessed astounding power. Even the defensive light shield of Clear Sea Storehouse could not withstand a single blow!

Several figures were rapidly moving to the third defensive position. Zuo Fan was slightly reassured. These people were usually very proud. Fortunately, they did not mess up at important times.

"Third Position!" Zuo Fan shouted. "Prepare the [Sky Lock]!

As he finished, countless seal scripts suddenly flew out of the depths of the storehouse and quickly flew into the sky. In a blink, a circle of light appeared in the sky above the storehouse. The light circle was over ten li in diameter and countless bright seal scripts flowed endlessly.

The [Sky Lock] was one of the Clear Sea Warehouse's strongest jinzhi. It was for facing experts, especially shen power experts. The enemy's strength was unfathomable and was definitely a shen power expert.

This definitely was not good news for Zuo Fan.

Right now, the development of jinzhi had fallen behind. The jinzhi that could match shen power experts were rare. However, due to the importance of Clear Sea Storehouse's location, there were jinzhi set up here that could be used against shen power exerts.

This was [Sky Lock]!

If those people could delay the enemy, the [Sky Lock] would be able to restrain the enemy.

Several figures quickly engaged the enemy in battle. With Zuo Fan's strength, he could only see several grey figures and one blue figure flashing around.

"The lock is set!" the subordinate said joyfully.

"Attack!" Zuo Fan unhesitatingly ordered.

The circle of light suddenly contracted. It descended from the sky, its target Lan!

The wind and snow seemed to suddenly stop.

———

This was the first time Shuang Yu was working with Gongsun Cha. It was a strange feeling. He had to admit that Gongsun Cha's preparations had been very detailed, so detailed that it was beyond his imagination.

While they were both among the ten great battle generals, Gongsun Cha and Gu Liang Dao's styles were completely different. Gu Liang Dao's moves were big and open, but Gongsun Cha was more detailed. Only battle generals like Gongsun Cha would be able to do preparations to this level.

The accurate and thorough preparations allowed Shuang Yu to feel relaxed. What he needed to do was simple. He only needed to express his strength to successfully complete the mission.

His target was Thousand Sail Sect.

Thousand Sail Sect was not a large sect. Actually, it was only one of Tian Huan's outer sects. Its status in Tian Huan was not high, but its importance was seriously underestimated.

Tian Huan had many outer sects. There were thousands of sects that had connections to Tian Huan and the Thousand Sail Sect was just one of those.

They were skilled in the forging of treasure ships, especially transportation ships. Almost seven-tenths of transportation ships in Tian Huan came from Thousand Sail Sect. For Tian Huan who made their living on forging and mercantilism, the amount of materials transported was astounding and the demand for transportation ships was high. Transportation ships were not hard to forge, but took time, and the profits were not high. Naturally, Tian Huan was not willing to invest manpower and energy into this.

They were happy that Thousand Sail Sect was willing to take over. Thousand Sail Sect jumped to become one of the relatively strong sects among Tian Huan's outer sects.

Their transportation ships sold well based on their connection to Tian Huan.

In Gongsun Cha's intelligence analyses, the importance of this sect was high. If it was destroyed, it would have a great effect on Tian Huan's transportation abilities.

Transportation ships did not need high level materials or high level methods to be forged, but needed time.

If Thousand Sail Sect was destroyed, Tian Huan would have a difficult time making up their transportation ships in the short-term. Other sects could forge them, but no one could compare to Thousand Sail Sect in scale. There were confirmed reports. An enormous order had come to Thousand Sail Sect, and Tian Huan was currently facing the problem of lacking sufficient transportation ability.

Gongsun Cha's plan targeted the enemy's weakness. He had to admit that Gongsun Cha was someone skilled at grabbing a person's weakness.

What made Thousand Sail Sect a tempting target was that, despite their importance, Thousand Sail Sect did not have the corresponding level of defenses. Thousand Sail Sect was in the core lands of Tian Huan and it was not easy for them to be attacked. Adding on that Tian Huan was supporting them, their competitors did not dare to scheme against them.

The situation formed gradually over time to become like this.

However, Tian Huan did have some measures. They still stationed a battalion near Thousand Sail Sect to guarantee their safety.

Yet a defense of this degree for a super expert like Shuang Yu was like there was nothing.

Especially right now when Tian Huan's attention was attracted by Zhong De and Zuo Mo. Almost all of the top experts had been moved. This was undoubtedly the time that Tian Huan was weakest in defense. They would not encounter any experts of the same level. For Shuang Yu, this mission was so easy it was like taking a sightseeing trip.

Gongshun Cha's move was really vicious!

Behind Shuang Yu were a few dozen elites that carried large amounts of explosive talismans.

They only had one mission, flatten Thousand Sail Sect to the ground!

Shuang Yu took a deep breath, his expression becoming cold. "Begin!"

Translator Ramblings: Attack on two fronts. Guuurgh, holidays are robbing my energy.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirty – Counterattack (Two)

The old man's mission was the Yao Forging Tower

The Yao Forging Tower had been the place that Pu Yao and wei had been imprisoned in. It was a restricted land that the forebearers of Tian Huan had created using their great power. There were eighteen levels in the Yao Forging Tower. Pu Yao and Wei had been imprisoned in the bottom level. Every level was filled with jinzhi. Unless one attacked from the outside, it was extremely difficult to escape. Pu Yao and Wei's escape had been the result of Pu Yao spending thousands of years and put his all to think of a solution.

In reality, only Pu Yao and Wei had been left on the eighteenth level. The other yaomo had passed away a long time ago. Pu Yao had seen countless powerful yoamo that could not hold against the wear of time, lose their minds, and then turn into dust. This was what had caused him to resolve himself and escape the Yao Forging Tower.

The Yao Forging Tower did not just imprison yaomo, but a large number of powerful people that could be a threat to Tian Huan's rule. They were not killed due to many various reasons and were imprisoned in the Yao Forging Tower.

The Yao Forging Tower was heavily guarded.

However, in this era of drastic change, for something as gigantic as Tian Huan, they had countless problems they needed to face, and too many places they could not attend to.

The Yao forging Tower was one of those.

Tian Huan need to face Kun Lun's expansion, needed to face the threatening Mo Cloud Sea, the exchange of power between generations inside the sect, the change from the ling power to shen power system and so on. There were too many problems they urgently needed to resolve. In a situation like this, the defense of the Yao Forging Tower was not a priority.

Just like the transportation formations of Mo Cloud Sea that were attacked, Tian Huan's shen glyphs and jinzhi were being developed with full support, but there was still a great distance until they were developed enough for widespread use.

The jinzhi of the Yao Forging Tower were the products of the era of ling power.

For experts that were in the era of shen power, they were lacking power.

For safety, especially the safety of the old man, Xie Shan, Nan Yue, and the others were all sent with the old man's group. None of the group who qualified to go into the Yao Forging Tower was harmless. Even so the old man alone was enough to intimidate the entire group.

If they only released those imprisoned and caused a small degree of damage to Tian Huan, this was an embarrassing waste in the eyes of Gongsun Cha.

For Lil' Miss, these vicious brutes that had suffered under Tian Huan were great helpers!

At usual times, other than the battalions stationed at the Yao Forging Tower, there were also experts. However, Li Xian Er had been captured, and almost all of the experts were sent to Xi Xuan to negotiate and rescue Li Xian Er. This was the time that the tower was most empty.

The old man was very satisfied at being put in charge of such an important mission.

"Which of you two will go first?" The old man glanced at the orange-haired yao and A Wen out of the corner of his eye.

The orange-haired yao had an expression of smug pride as he patted his chest. "We need to discuss this? Of course it is the most handsome and genius youth first! Good brothers are loyal, seeing how pitiful you are, I will condescend to help!"

The old man's face turned green "Who is brothers with you?"

The smug orange-haired yao suddenly recalled the old man was A Gui's grandfather and immediately froze. He reacted and hurriedly smoothed over, "Haha! A Wen! I'm speaking about A Wen!"

The orange-haired yao thought that the old man could not be offended. If Big Sister A Gui learned of this, and then attacked him, he would not be able to withstand it!

A Wen snorted coldly. "Idiot!"

Before he finished speaking, he shot out.

"Hey hey hey! You bastard! You rule-breaker! Unfair! You shameless being, I had a wrong opinion of you, you are a person without a bottom line, you embarrass the name of Mo Cloud Sea ... ..."

The orange-haired yao wailed loudly as he turned into a fiery red shadow and charged in.

The old man turned his face. "Are the two of them usually like this?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Nan Yue and the others were respectful of the old man. The old man's power was enough that they had to look up in reverence. Also, the old man's unique status was such that even Gongsun Cha had a high opinion of him, much less juniors like them.

With everyone surrounding him, the old man felt unprecedentedly well, and full of spirit. These juniors were mature, obedient and had sweet tongues. They had smoothed his feathers. With a good mood, he did not skimp on teaching them. Soon, he found to his shock that these juniors were not just exceptionally talented, they were all very hardworking. Even the orange-haired yao that seemed unreliable was focused when he cultivated.

Such good children!

The old man sighed. He decided that he was going to attend more events in the future, and show off the glory of an elder.

He pretentiously pointed at the Yao Forging Tower and said with a serious expression. "The person who gets into the entrance first will be taught a secret technique by this old man!"

Woosh!

Everyone's eyes turned green.

On the trip here, the old man's unfathomable power and masterful shen techniques caused reverence in all of the juniors. Such a promise immediately ignited the fighting spirit of all of the juniors.

Nan Yue and the others unhesitatingly charged to the Yao Forging Tower. Behind them, the old man strolled slowly with the presence of a master.

The sharp wails of alarms could be heard in the distance as the light of the jinzhi lit up in twos and threes.

———

It had been too long since Tian Huan itself had been attacked. The guards stationed at the Yao Forging Tower to be dazed for a moment when they heard the alarms.

The enemy came so quickly they hadn't even entered the jinzhi before the enemy reached them.

The attack lights of the perimeter jinzhi rained down on the enemy but were unable to stop their advance.

Rong Zhi looked in terror at the eerie and dangerous figures, cold rising from his heart.

Ever since that time many years ago when yao had escaped from the Yao Forging Tower, the guards at the Yao Forging Tower and the jinzhi had been improved greatly. However, as war had occurred, the situation became more tense, and almost all of the experts at the Yao Forging Tower had been called away. As the situation calmed, the higher ups seemed to forget about the Yao Forging Tower.

Those left behind to guard the Yao Forging Tower would be transferred immediately when they had a breakthrough in cultivating shen glyphs. Rong Zhi had not improved much in cultivating shen glyphs so he had never left here.

Rong Zhi wanted to leave since a long time ago. Guarding the Yao Forging Tower was thought of as exile, a place with no future. There were no benefits here, and the days were hard. It was also difficult to accomplish something that would attract the attention of the higher-ups. But if they were not careful, it was easy for problems to occur. Naturally, no one was willing to come here. Only those that offended the higher ups would be sent here.

Occasionally in the past, there would be some experts with terrible personalities but were strong that were transferred over. In the recent years, there wasn't even one such expert. The higher ups had developed a higher tolerance of those with strength than in the past.

Rong Zhi was often too lazy to think about these matters. Guarding the Yao Forging Tower was a hard job, but the benefit was that no one managed them, and they were free. They could occasionally go to the nearby battalion to act as a teacher, and guide the soldiers from the battalion.

The scene of the lights raining down caused Song Zhi to lose focus for a while.

Elite!

It was definitely elite! From what he saw, every figure was multiple times stronger than himself.

Song Zhi immediately knew the enemy's intentions. The enemy was targeting the prisoners of the Yao Forging Tower!

Suddenly, he was filled with grief. He knew that he would pay the price for the inattentiveness of the higher ups.

———

Seeing the juniors were unstoppable, the old man was slightly shocked. The defenses of the Yao Forging Tower were so weak!

He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. Theoretically, a place like this was a restricted land for each sect and should be heavily protected. It was time for Tian Huan to taste its own medicine for missing this.

The battle progressed quickly. The guards were cleared out in a short period of time.

The nearby battalion was disturbed by the noise and were rushing over. They had quickly assembled and were hurrying over at their fastest speed.

"How's the situation?" the old man asked the black smoke yao. In his view, this person shrouded in black smoke was the smartest of the group.

"The jinzhi here are complete and suitable for facing battalions. If our intelligence reports on this battalion are accurate, we can hold the tower for at least twelve hours. However, you have to be fast," the black smoke yao said without hesitation.

"Good, I will leave this to you." The old man was very satisfied. He watched as the black smoke yao directed people into the jinzhi to prepare to stop the battalion outside. The fighting spirit inside his chest started to burn.

"I hope the people inside the Yao Forging Tower, do not disappoint me!"

The old man unhesitatingly flew into the Yao Forging Tower.

———

Lan lightly spun the ice umbrella in her hand and the wind and snow seemed to be disturbed by an invisible hand. The sharp snow and wind were docile and vented in a storm.

Ding ding ding.

Countless blooms of blood appeared at the same time. The enemy that lost the protection of the light shields were fragile. The death of large numbers of their members caused many jinzhi to stop functioning and the light in the sky weakened.

At this time, Lan suddenly raised her face.

In the sky, an enormous seal script ring of light was coming towards her at astounding speed. The sky full of wind and snow seemed to suddenly stop.

Lan's eyes suddenly lit up with an eerie light.

A reminiscing smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After sleeping for tens of thousands of years her battle skill had not decreased. As a totem warrior, fighting was a instinct that was engraved deep into her bones!

Ten thousand years ago, the greatest value of any totem warrior was fighting!

She seemed to return to the time ten thousand years ago, in that chaotic and primitive land. Where the ice umbrella passed, it left ice and snow!

She had never lost a fight in the ice and snow!

The ice umbrella in her hand spun rapidly. The tassels that flew up were pleasing to hear with their chimes.

Under the ice umbrella, she lowered her head, her expression was devout and grave.

In the name of Lan, dance!

The wind and snow seemed to hear the summons and spun to gather at the ice umbrella above her head.

With Lan as the center, a whirlwind of ice formed.

The snow that had had built up for tens of thousands of years on the ground crumbled. They flew into the sky and were sucked into the whirlpool of wind and snow above Lan's head.

Boom-om-om!

The ice and snow gathered like a twister and formed an enormous pillar of icy wind. From far away, it looked like a terrifying dragon of ice twisting and rearing into the air.

There was no longer was any sharp wailing of the wind. What filled the ears were the roars of tens of thousands of horses stampeding towards them at once.

The ground seemed to tremble.

Zuo Fan and the others looked with ashen expressions at the enormous ice dragon in the air that stretched for dozens of li.

The [Sky Lock] could not strike and was stuck in the air. There seemed to be an invisible hand that securely held it.

Under the umbrella, the devout and solemn Lan murmured softly, "In the name of Lan!"

She suddenly raised her face and darkly said four words.

"[Ice Snow Mist Kill]!"

The blue mask flashed with an icy light and cruelty.

The ice umbrella pointed forward.

Translator Ramblings: The Yao Forging Tower finally makes an appearance. If only Pu Yao's fellows hadn't died ... ... this would have been an epic rescue mission.

Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirty One – Counterattack (Three)

Looking at the waves of fire and roiling black smoke, Shuang Yu decisively ordered, "Retreat!"

Dozens of figures around him quickly disappeared into the night.

The next day, he successively destroyed a third storehouse of Tian Huan. His mission was different from Lan. Lan's mission was to destroy Clear Sea Storehouse, an important materials transportation hub . His mission was to damage Thousand Sail Sect, including the supply points along the way.

In this situation when the enemy shen power experts had all been called away, Shuang Yu lacked opponents and was unstoppable.

Shuang Yu had no intentions of hiding his strength.

Gu Liang Dao's faction did not share any borders with Tian Huan, but Mo Cloud Sea was their greatest ally. If Mo Cloud Sea was in danger, it meant that they were also in danger. Gu Liang Dao had hinted to them of Zhong De's intentions. If that was the case, then the connection between Gu Liang Dao and Mo Cloud Sea would become even closer.

He had to admire Gongsun Cha's strategy.

In the hidden battle with Mo Cloud Sea, Tian Huan had the absolute upper hand. This came from their thousands of years of management experience. The newly risen Mo Cloud Sea was not a match.

However, Tian Huan was not invulnerable.

With long borders and enormous territory, it was not hard for them to infiltrate enemy lands. An enormous territory also meant that the difficulty of defense was much greater.

It had been too long since the interior of Tian Huan had experienced battle. This caused the wariness of the battalions stationed in the interior to be very low. They never thought that the safe interior would be attacked.

Tian Huan relied heavily on the seal formations, just like Mo Cloud Sea. They also shared the problem that seal formation development hadn't caught up with shen power development. While Tian Huan's upper levels had increased wariness after Mo Cloud Sea's transportation formations had been attacked, Tian Huan's territory was too vast. Other than sending battalions to reinforce some extremely important locations, the great majority of areas were left the same as before.

Gu Liang Dao was a decisive person. After he decided to kill Tian Huan, he immediately began planning. Gu Liang Dao knew that they would only have one chance. If they could not strike a heavy blow, they would alert Tian Huan and never be given a chance like this again.

In order to obtain the best effect, he decided to message Mo Cloud Sea.

Because Zuo Mo was absent, the one left in charge was Gongsun Cha. After Gongsun Cha heard the plan, he was in agreement. While this plan could not strike Tian Huan at their foundation, it could buy more time for Mo Cloud Sea. Even though top experts like Zuo Mo and Wei Sheng were not present, Mo Cloud Sea still had Qinghua Xue. Nan Yue and the others had also returned from their mission and managed to arrive in time.

Gongsun Lil' Miss had been very discontent at being suppressed by Tian Huan for a long time. He decided to do something big. Due to this, he even personally went to persuade A Gui's grandfather. He had originally thought that the old man would refuse, and hadn't expected the old man to easily agree.

With the two top experts, the old man and Shuang Yu, leading the way, the power behind this plan exploded. In addition, Lan suddenly stepping out of the mist allowed the entire plan to to choose more targets.

For this plan, Gongsun Cha used almost all of the intelligence that Mo Cloud Sea had.

The targets were quickly selected.

These targets were similar. They were not attention-catching, but each was crucial in the transport of Tian Huan's materials. If they were damaged, Tian Huan's material transportation would have problems.

In order to accomplish the goal of damage, Golden Crow Camp specially forged one-use talismans. These talismans were based on the fire box that Bie Han had used to burn the main peak of Xuan Kong Temple. The new fire boxes they forged were more powerful, the fire stronger, and could burn nearly anything. More astounding was the black smoke produced by the flames had the added ability of removing ling power. The more ling power a material had the more effective the fire was. Once a high end material came into contact with the black smoke, it would become impotent.

It was perfect to use in causing indiscriminate damage.

Gongsun Cha was gathering power on his side to give Tian Huan an blow they would remember. No one had expected that Zuo Mo seemed to be of the same mind as Gongsun Cha and actually captured Li Xian Er alive.

The situation had changed from them being reactive to being proactive.

The Tian Huan experts were all lured away by Zuo Mo which gave the mission that Gongsun Cha planned the perfect opening.

This mission went so smoothly that Shuang Yu almost couldn't believe it.

Was Mo Cloud Sea strong to such a degree?

———

The beautiful and fine ice umbrella pointed.

Boom boom boom!

The enormous dragon of ice and snow broke through the [Sky Lock]. Then, that suffocatingly large body howled as it rammed the jinzhi with its head at a rapid speed.

The great power immediately destroyed all the jinzhi, and an immeasurable amount of snow and ice drowned the fortress.

There was only a mountain of snow in front of Lan, a snowy mountain that completely buried the fortress. Around this three hundred zhang tall mountain that was was an enormous basin that was fifty li in diameter.

Holding the ice umbrella in hand, Lan lightly flew to the top of the snow mountain.

Clear Sea Storehouse was exposed in front of her. Endless rows of storehouses were laid out in neat rows, and mountains of materials were exposed, showing off vast wealth.

A hint of a smile rose on Lan's lips. This time, Tian Huan would feel pain.

An army of figures flew past land and into the mountains of materials.

Soon, flames danced and licked towards the frozen sky. The flames became so hot even the ice started to melt. Only the mountain of snow, shrouded in the wind and snow, under Lan's feet did not show any signs of melting.

The thick smoke quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

It was not just the loss of the materials. Even Clear Sea Storehouse would not be usable.

Lan looked calmly at the large fire in front of her. Having been through countless battles, her will was as hard as stone.

She turned. Holding the ice umbrella, she disappeared into the wind and snow.

Just like tens of thousands of years ago.

———

"Attack!"

Tian Huan's battle general shouted angrily. He was forced to the end of his rope. If the Yao Forging Tower was opened, his only outcome would be death. He had never thought that the Yao Forging Tower that had never been attacked before would see this day!

Damn it!

The enemy were an elite force. While they were few in number, each one of them was strong!

Rong Zhi and that group of trash always boasted about their abilities so much. Yet even with the jinzhi, they were unable to withstand the other long enough even with the help of the jinzhi! The battle general couldn't help but curse inside. If Rong Zhi had managed to delay the enemy, then he would have pincered the enemy with his battalion. Unless the enemy had the topmost experts, he would be able to wear the other to death with numbers.

Yet Rong Zhi lost control of the jinzhi in the first attack.

The jinzhi of the Yao Forging Tower became a great weapon used against them. Right now, they were being pinned down by the jinzhi and unable to charge close to the enemy.

The battle general had never thought that there would be a day these jinzhi would become the greatest obstacle to stopping his side.

Because of the past incident where yao had escaped, the jinzhi of the Yao Forging Tower had been strengthened. Now, these jinzhi became the nightmare of this Tian Huan battalion.

No one had expected the enemy would use the power of their own jinzhi to strike at them.

In their first charge, unprepared, their fatalities were extremely high! The rain of attacks almost drowned them.

Motherf*er! Whose territory was this?

The battle general couldn't help but swear. The power that the enemy managed to get out of the jinzhi was even stronger than Rong Zhi's group.

Were there traitors?

The pitiable battle general couldn't help but become paranoid.

What he did not know was that in Mo Cloud Sea, learning how to use jinzhi was something that almost every person was required to study. It was rare to have someone like Ma Fan that could use a formation defense line to its limits, but everyone was familiar with seal formations.

The black smoke yao's photographic memory and his exceptional intelligence helped him refine skills in this area.

Nan Yue was the leader of the orange-haired yao and the others, but the strategic mind was the black smoke yao, this guy was the weakest in the group but had the highest intelligence.

Under the direction of the black smoke yao, the yao Forging Tower was extremely powerful.

Everyone in their squad trusted the black smoke yao's abilities. All of his orders would be followed completely and without question. This was the classic battle style of Mo Cloud Sea.

The Tian Huan battle general was full of panic. The longer this dragged out, the worse the situation would get. The other was definitely opening the interior jinzhi of the Yao Forging tower to release the prisoners inside!

This could not continue!

"Charge! All of you, charge!"

His angry shout echoed in the air.

However, the effect of his shouting was negligible. The jinzhi attacks of the Yao Forging Tower was too strong, and there were no dead spots. There was almost no possibility of surviving after being attacked by the jinzhi. He also knew that the jinzhi could maintain attacks of this level for a long time.

He thought furiously in search of the almost minuscule possibility of success.

The enemy had the upper hand, and was on defense. Even elite battalions would not have any good solutions stuck in a trench warfare like this, much less a regular battalion like them.

The enemy's only weakness was their few numbers!

They would do it!

The Tian Huan battle general decided. If the enemy succeeded, he and his men would only have death waiting for him. Rather than that, it was better if he died on the battlefield. At least this way, his family would not be affected.

He gathered the remaining warriors.

"We only have one option left to us. Everyone spread out, scatter, try to spread out as much as possible! We will attack from every angle. The enemy is few in number, if we get close, we will have a chance! Everyone knows our chances. If we die in battle, the higher ups will allow our families to live good days due to our sacrifice. But if we flee, they will be dragged down with us. If the enemy succeeds, and we are still alive, everyone's families will still be affected!"

Everyone was silent. All of them unconsciously balled their fists. They knew that Boss was right.

"No one pays attention to us, our benefits are lacking, we are just cannon fodder. There is no way about it. This battle isn't for Tian Huan, just for our families! Everyone, let's die here!"

The battle general said gravely. His gaze swept across the group with the resolve to die.

There was a deathly silence. No one spoke. Everyone silently prepared. Their presence suddenly changed.

An indescribable pressure covered the battlefield!

Translator Ramblings: Ahh, this is how you know it is Gongsun Cha in charge of the mission and not Zuo Mo. How much jingshi went up in flames?

Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirty Two – Counterattack (Four)

The black smoke yao was the first to detect the change in the enemy troops.

His vantage point allowed him to quickly identify the other's intentions. His heart tightened and he shouted, "Everyone, pay attention. They are about to start an all-out attack! Defend your own areas, do not allow any dead spots to appear! Yue, go high up, I will leave the ones that have slipped through to you!"

"Alright!" Nan Yue acknowledged. She jumped up, and went to the highest point. A bow of light appeared in her hand.

[South Sky Shen Arrow]!

The [South Sky Arrow Art] that had been strengthened by shen power flashed with an eerie purple light. The ruler-straight and thin bowstring was filled with power.

Nan Yue stood in the wind with a cold expression. She was no longer that little girl from the past, one that did not understand anything at all. She had been through hundreds of battles, was experienced, had a strong mentality and was a trusted team leader.

Her attacks had a great attack range.

Everyone had been together for a long time, and worked well together. Hearing the reminder from the black smoke yao, everyone's nerves tensed. Whenever the black smoke yao was like this, it meant that there was a hard battle to come.

However, the group did not fear this. They were at the age where their spirits were high. They had abundant endurance and strong resolve. After cultivating the many different practises that were unique to Mo Cloud Sea, they had outstanding regulation and iron resolve.

In Mo Cloud Sea, cowards were looked down upon. Gongsun Cha, Wei Sheng, and including Zuo Mo, they were all people with extremely strong resolve. Affected by these leaders, Mo Cloud Sea admired this trait.

Mo Cloud Sea had a saying, you can have no talent, no skill, no high birth, but you cannot be a coward.

Everyone focused and breathed calmly with grave expressions.

The black smoke yao was unprecedentedly nervous. It was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation. However, an indescribable excitement rose in his body. He was not afraid.

He repeatedly ran through what he had learned. The group usually had small-scale conflicts and never had experienced a true battle.

Figures started to appear at the edge of his view.

"Attention! The enemy is about to come!" He warned in a loud voice.

His gaze did not waver. When those figures gradually came close, he finally saw the situation clearly. His heart tensed. The other had scattered their forces and they did not seem to be connected to each other.

When he saw the expressions on the enemy faces, he became even more wary.

"They are about to go all out!" The black smoke yao couldn't help but warn. The black smoke that shrouded his body seemed to reach out tentacles that inserted into the jinzhi around him.

The bodies of the enemy fifty li away paused slightly.

Fifty li was the upper range of the jinzhi's attack. The enemy knew the jinzhi's limits.

The black smoke yao blurted unthinkingly, "Kill!"

Almost at the same time, the xiuzhe who had paused slightly gathered their power and charged in unison at an astounding rate!

Almost every person was shrouded in light that drew bright streaks in the sky.

Yet what welcomed them was a rain of attacks. All kinds of light in different colors flooded out of the jinzhi and immediately covered the fifty li range of the jinzhi.

The enemy was clearly fighting to the death. No one retreated, there were no wails or screams.

The people who were hit by the jinzhi attacks were cut to pieces or a disintegrated into dust.

Yet these Tian Huan xiuzhe continued to move forward, furiously dodging and moving their bodies as they faced the rain of attacks. They advanced at the expense of their lives!"

A distance of fifty li was not far for a xiuzhe.

Even though Tian Huan's battalion was not famed for their charging abilities, a charge like this without any regard for life still gave the black smoke yao and others great pressure.

They were too few in number!

When the enemy's entire battalion all charged, the scene was spectacular.

Seemingly countless figures wrapped in faint light seemed to pack the sky. There seemed to be no end. Their features were vicious and twisted. You could clearly see their almost crazed and hungry state. They leapt towards you like a swarm of locusts.

When the sky and ground were full of people like this, those with slightly less resolve would have been so frightened they would have turned and fled.

The black smoke yao and the others were completely absorbed in battle!

Each person gave off indistinct howls. Their eyes were wide as they gathered all of their shen power. Their consciousnesses were all pressed to their limits as they controlled all the jinzhi that could be controlled. They opened all of the jinzhi attacks and furiously vented out!

Boom boom boom!

Endless explosions caused people to almost not hear any other sound.

The storm of jinzhi attacks ploughed through the ground within fifty li. The sky was covered by furiously moving figures that moved like moths to a flame.

Standing at the tallest point, Nan Yue changed expression. She was shocked by such a cruel and brutal battle.

Their sneak attack previously had gone unusually smoothly. The Yao Forging Tower's weaknesses were exposed. However, these seemingly mad people caused her to reconsider Tian Huan.

Fortunately, the shen power of the majority of these people were weak. Most of the lights flashing on their bodies were the lights of ling power.

If this battalion cultivated shen power, if they were a bit stronger, it would not be possible for so few of them to suppress the entire battalion.

Undoubtedly, this was a cannon fodder battalion that no attention was paid for. This could be seen from their weak shen power, and the fact their armor that was still ling armor and not shen equipment. However, the spirit of this cannon fodder battalion was worthy of respect.

Soon, Nan Yue did not have the time to think.

Someone had broken through!

She narrowed her eyes, and her light in her hand that had swung downwards and suddenly disappeared.

In the distance a ruler-straight light penetrated the other's chest like lightning.

The other's mouth was wide, they didn't give any sound as their eyes quickly dimmed and they fell face forward.

Nan Yue was completely immersed in battle. Her attack rate was astounding. Her right hand was a blur of afterimages, long thin arrows of light appearing and disappearing from her hand.

The light arrows were like rain!

None of them missed!

She was like the god of death, ruthlessly and efficiently harvesting lives.

The [South Sky Arrow Art] strengthened by shen power into the [South Sky Shen Arrow] was multiple times as strong as before. The enemy's ling armor was as fragile as paper in front of it.

The enemy quickly found Nan Yue up high, and they tried their best to dodge.

But no matter how they tried to dodge, the arrows of light never missed. They seemed to be able to pass through space and directly appear in front of them to take their targets.

Pew!

A spray of blood. The battle general felt a pain at his chest. Something seemed to be pulled out of his heart.

His seemingly mad face calmed down. There was no discontent, no fury.

They could only reach this level ... ...

Bam. He felt down face forwards, the lights that occasionally passed by in the sky reflected in his gradually dimming pupils.

The death of the Tian Huan battle general was the climax of this battle field's cacophonic symphony of death. The remaining xiuzhe charged even more madly without regard for life or death!

Not one person retreated.

The sky seemed to be dyed red by blood.

When the last figure fell down, the battlefield became calm again.

Everyone was soaked in sweat as though they had just come out of water. They panted heavily, their twisted features gradually relaxing. No one spoke. Even the endlessly chatty orange-haired yao was silent at this moment.

Their gazes were directed to the completely transformed battlefield. Corpses were spread all over. Nothing was alive.

Everyone lost the interest in speaking. This battalion had been a cannon fodder battalion, their battle general had been average, their soldiers skill level was still back in the ear of ling power, their equipment was terrible. But this battalion had displayed an admirable battle spirit, one worthy of respect. No one retreated, no one fled, everyone charged into the jinzhi knowing they would die.

Nan Yue and the others could not describe what they felt now.

"It really is a battalion worthy of respect." The black smoke yao was full of emotion. His voice was tired.

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

"Oh, it seems that you have had a hard battle!" The old man's voice came from behind the group.

Woosh, everyone turned following the voice. Immediately, everyone's expression froze on their faces as they gaped.

The old man seemed like a barge hauler as he dragged a golden chain the thickness of an arm. He walked towards the group with the mannerism of an expert.

More than twenty unfamiliar people were tied up in a bunch and being dragged on the ground behind him. The old man walked in alone dragging his spoils behind him.

The old man looked at the group that had turned to stone with a smile, feeling smug inside.

"Ah-hah, there were too many people, I didn't take much care."

The spoils at his feet all had expressions of anger, their eyes wide as though they wanted to stab through the old man with their stares. However, the jinzhi on them stopped them from making any sound.

The orange-haired yao's stunned gaze recovered and he blurted out, "Woah, you are so wretched, you are like a prison warden!"

The surroundings immediately became silent.

The old man's expression froze on his face, and his murderous rose.

The orange-haired yao had an innocent expression as he turned and asked the others, "Don't you feel that it is similar?"

Everyone else turned their faces away and didn't bear to look.

"You're dead!"

The old man gritted as he glared at the orange-haired yao.

———

When Zuo Mo received the message from Gongsun Cha, he relaxed greatly. Gongsun Cha's victories were significant and could draw away a portion of Tian Huan's attention.

The battle between Kun Lun and the yao were at the fiercest time. Supposedly, the battle between Mu Xuan and Mu Xi was extremely intense. This caused Zuo Mo to sigh in relief. It was good news for him that Kun Lun was delayed by the situation and could not participate over here.

Gu Liang Dao's battalion was already on the way to Xi Xuan.

Once Gu Liang Dao met up with Zhong De, the situation would be roughly set.

Mo Cloud Sea's battalions had finished preparing. Other than Ma Fan's battalion that guarded the defense line, the other battalions had all been recalled. Vermillion Bird Camp had finished gathering and Lil' Miss could enter Xi Xuan at any time.

Yang Yuan Hao had also finished preparing.

If they won this battle, Mo Cloud Sea would jump to become one of the titans.

Zuo Mo knew he needed to be more calm and careful at a time like this. He put down the [Weaving Girl Shuttle] and focused completely on preparing to welcome the hard battle about to come.

Tian Huan would not suddenly rest. It was likely they would negotiate as they schemed in the shadows.

Zuo Mo became alert. While he had offensive power on his side, Tian Huan was not weak.

As time moved, the Tian Huan envoys came closer, and the atmosphere became heavier.

This was a battle that could change the state of the xiuzhe world!

Translator Ramblings: Still counterattacking ... ...
