Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy – Lil’ Miss’ Order
“Feng Shixiong is well-informed, do you recognize this formation?” Li Shu looked from a distance at Turtle Island and said quietly.
Beside him was a middle-aged person named Feng Bao. Astonishment showed on his face. “It seems a bit like the Meridional Azure Aether Formation of Azure Sky Sect, is Turtle Island owned by a disciple of Azure Sky Sect?”
“Azure Sky Sect?”
“En, Azure Sky Sky is a powerful seal cultivator sect that is very powerful in Black Night Jie. They do not have many disciples, but they are most skilled in forging and seal-creating so the sect is extremely rich. What is most wondrous about Azure Sky Sect is the sect-protecting formation, called the Meridional Azure Aether Formation. It is extremely powerful,” Feng Bai explained.
“Black Night Jie?” Li Shu was slightly shocked, “So far away?”
“En, very very far.” Feng Bai nodded.
“Why did they run to Cloud Sea JIe?” LI Shu’s brow creased.
“I do not know that.” Feng Bai smiled and said, “What is Shidi worried about? According to what I know, the disciples of Azure Sky Sect are skilled in forging and seals, but they are peaceful and rarely enter conflicts against others.”
“Then it’s strange,” Li Shu said as he shook his head. “Shixiong may not know this, while these people from Turtle Island do not cause conflicts, they are not peaceful people. Their moves are vicious and decisive and the battalion they have are clearly veterans that have been on the battlefield. They would be hard to deal with.”
“There’s something like that?” Feng Bao said in wonder, “Then I wouldn’t know. Azure Sky Sect is too distant from us. It would require several years to go and investigate. I had only seen accounts of this formation by coincidence.”
Li Shu seemed to be pondering something and did not speak.
Sounds of violent explosions came from Turtle Island occasionally, the lights of all kinds of spells illuminating the sky. The Tian Family’s explosive barrage of attacks was still continuing.
Suddenly, Feng Bao made a light sound. “En, the formation has been penetrated?”
Li Shu woke up with shock and looked over. The Tian Family battalions that had been packed in the sky above Turtle Island were flowing furiously towards Turtle Island.
Had the formation of Turtle Island fallen?
———
“What?” Ma Fan thought that he had heard it wrong. Beside him, Lei Peng, Nian Lu and the others were frozen on their spots.
“Didn’t hear clearly? I said you can solve this problem yourselves.” Gongsun Cha showed a harmless smile, “You have the ability to solve a battle of this level by yourselves.”
Finishing, he shrugged, spread his hands, and looked away at ease.
Ma Fan instantly became frantic. His first response was —Damn it, which dumbass had offended Lil’ Miss? Dragging everyone down to feel the pain!
It wasn’t the first time something like this occurred. Once someone caused Lil’ Miss to show this demonic smile, what would follow would cause the Vermillion Bird Camp to be tormented together. When it was serious, even Guard Camp was unable to avoid the calamity.
“Daren! This is not possible!” Ma Fan lowed his voice and said fawningly, “Without you, we are blind! You are the bright light in the middle of the great sea, our helmsman, only on your hands can we express our greatest power! You are our spine, we can lack anyone but how can we lack you? Even Boss has said you are a Gold Battle General!”
Lil’ Miss smiled slightly bashfully as though he was embarrassed at hearing Ma Fan’s undisguised flattery yet Ma Fan and the others instantly had a foreboding feeling.
“Your flattery is slightly sickening but mostly truth.” Lil’ Miss smiled bashfully.
“Yes yes yes!” The foreboding feeling increased but Ma Fan and the others hurriedly nodded in agreement.
“But I am a Gold Battle General, that Tian Family, at most it is a Silver Battle General, it is worth of my attention.” Lil’ Miss smiled brightly, his face like a flower and showed two rows of white teeth. “You have stayed with me for this long, if you can’t even kill a Silver Battle General, then you might as well cut your own necks.”
Lil’ Miss smiled prettily again and everyone felt their backs dampen with cold sweat.
“I’m not joking.”
So Lil’ Miss really wasn’t joking!
Stumbling and crawling out of Lil’ Miss’ place, everyone huddled together and started to discuss.
“No way, Lil’ Miss wants to play us to death?” Someone wailed.
“Don’t cry, think of a solution! If we really can’t kill the Tian Family, ha, wait for it, if we don’t cut our own necks, Lil’ Miss will hand us the blade. Or he might just snap it, that is also possible!” Hei Zi motioned.
Everyone shuddered in unison. Even a fearless person like Lei Peng was slightly white.
Especially when the scene of Lil’ Miss holding a blade as he smiled shyly appeared in their minds. Uncontrollably, they all shook again!
“Brothers! If the Tian Family doesn’t die, then we will die!” A brother’s face was full of grief and excitement.
“Kill the Tian Family!”
“Kill’em!” “Kill’em!”
Everyone’s eyes were red as their voices almost blew off the roof of the building.
When the noise quieted, Lei Peng’s voice rumbled, “Old Fan, A Ran, you two have the most ideas, quick, think of something.’
The other people looked at Ma Fan and Wei Ran. In the eyes of everyone, these two were the best at strategizing in Vermillion Bird Camp. Ma Fan had been the core before and with his personality preferred to use his cunning rather than his blade. Wei Ran was not as smart as Ma Fan, but he was a reliable person that was widely trusted.
The first to speak was Wei Ran. He said in a low voice, “It is not enough to complete this with just our Vermillion Bird Camp. Defeating them is easy, but Lil’ Miss wants is to kill them. This is slightly difficult. Most importantly, we cannot let any of them escape.”
Ma Fan’s eyes lit up, “Why don’t we use a ‘bolt the door to beat the dog’ tactic!”
“Bolt the door to beat the dog?”
“We’ll let them in and then close the formation of the island. This way, they cannot escape!” Ma Fan’s eyes were bright.
“This idea is good!” Wei Ran clapped his hands in excitement.
The other people also showed excitement. All of them had lots of battle experience, but none of them had experienced being in charge before.
Someone quickly added, “Then we have to be careful, if the defeated battle xiu of the Tian Family damages the ling fields of the island…”
“Yes, yes! Lil’ Miss is not good to offend, and we can’t touch Boss! If Boss comes back and sees serious damage, then we won’t have a good outcome either!”
“En en, we need to have enough manpower. It seems that we really have to ask Guard Camp for help.”
“Let’s do this … …”
———
Shu Long caressed the great black halberd in his hand. This great black halberd was even larger than the one he had formed from killing essence, and its shape was simpler. There was only a single spike that was shaped like a bird’s head and a dark red blade seemed to been dyed in fresh blood.
What was most eerie was the design, a blue-grey eye on the head of the halberd. From a distance, it looked like a black crow standing on top of a black stick.
An intoxicated smile floated onto Shu Long’s face as he gripped it in his hands. A feeling of intimacy came from the body of the halberd and made him feel as though it was his flesh and blood.
All of the mo weapons in the black pond had used totem fragments. Each mo weapon seemed to be alive and caused each of them to have an unique presence.
But the presence of the mo weapons were not like the intelligent presences of the talismans and flying swords, but were vicious and dark. It was possible to see their viciousness at a glance.
The presence of the black halberd in Shu Long’s hands was the most unique. There was no viciousness, just a barely discernable desolate presence.
It may be due to fate that that A Wen received a mo weapon that was identical to the one he had formed from killing essence, it was a dark green spear. The body of the spear was streamlined and etched with complex patterns which made it feel comfortable in the hand. The shape of the green spear was unique. The spear was shaped like a ruler-straight green snake, and the head of the spear reached out of the snake’s jaw. The eyes of the snake were eerily open.
All three hundred mo weapons had chosen their masters.
The remaining people could only wait for a future round of forging. At the beginning, people were uncaring because no one had seen mo weapons before but after the mo weapons came out, everyone had jealous eyes!
Each mo weapon was like a piece of art, simple or exquisite, they all caused people’s hearts to move!
Shu Long raised his head. He saw every person that received a mo weapon were caressing their mo weapons in intoxication.
Hmm? He smiled imperceptibly and then he hid away his smile under a serious expression.
Just now, Ma Fan had sent a message explaining the situation outside and also describing their plan.
Shu Long did not know why Lil’ Miss Daren did not act, but he knew that since Lil’ Miss Daren sent down the order, it could not be changed. Lil’ Miss Daren rarely directed Guard Camp directly but that did not lessen his authority or legitimacy of his orders.
He did not learn battle tactics from Lil’ Miss Daren, and was instead taught by that mysterious person.
He did not have any objections to Ma Fan’s plan. This plan was actually very good.
“Okay, clean up and prepare to go! Let them see the power of our Guard Camp!” Shu Long’s voice spread into the entire mountain cave.
His voice was full of bravado. Receiving the mo weapons, Guard Camp were like tigers that had wings!
———
The large formation in front of them had suddenly opened, the fertile Turtle Island was like an inviting female, with legs spread in front of them.
Tian Heng Bo was full of joy. His already bloodshot eyes murderous as he shouted, “Kill!”
The six jindan changed out at the front!
The two battalions behind them seemed full of adrenaline as they furiously howled and charged with vicious expressions. They feared being slower than the others!
The Tian Family was like a flood bursting the dam, unable to be stopped!
Ling fields appeared in the everyone’s vision as though they were able to reach out and touch them. Everyone couldn’t help but become excited! These ling fields were going to belong to the Tian Family! Possessing Turtle Island, the Tian Family would become even stronger! And the service they provided in this battle would allow them to receive enough benefits!
No one could stop them!
In reality, their breakthrough was unusually smooth. They did not encounter any resistance along the way, no, they did not encounter one person.
Wait!
The corner of Tian Heng Bo’s eyes jumped and his expression changed slightly!
They didn’t encounter one person? Where were the people?
At this moment, he seemed saw something out of the corner of his eye. He stilled slightly and hurriedly turned around his face. In this moment, his pupils suddenly contracted and the blood drained from his face!
Translator Ramblings: I’m pretty sure that one-on-one, Gongsun Cha isn’t a match for anyone in Vermillion Bird Camp and Guard Camp … … maybe Golden Crow Camp as well but everyone is still so scared.
Thanks for the chapter !
“The large formation in front of them had suddenly opened, the fertile Turtle Island was like an inviting female, with legs spread in front of them.”
That was not a sentence I was expecting to read.
And I didn’t think that the term “v—– dentia” would be applicable to this series.
Thus why I am unsure whether the term would be censored by the comment section (and why I self censored).
dentata, not dentia
Those invited by the Tian family can just chalk it up to bad karma if they lose their neck. Such is fate, kicking an iron plate your foot bound to get hurt.
Thanks for the new chapter!
Lil’ Miss doesn’t need to raise morale, fear works good enough.
What they fear is not Lil’ Miss’ cultivation, but his bashful smile.
Some cultivate ling, some the spirit, some the body.
But Lil’ Miss is a jindan rank in bashful smile cultivation.
No, lil miss is at soul transformation stage!
Look at all those docile gangster soul that lil miss transformed into a mafia henchmen..
Could he beat Meng Hao?
thanks for the chapter
Thanks!
beware a enemies gifts but be even more careful when your enemies throw wide there fortress gates to welcome you in…..
no one can resist such a charming bashful smile
thx 4d ch
Christmasbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
300 totem fragment.. ZM is gonna rage if he heard this..
“it is worth of my attention” is not worth
I wonder why he doesn’t want to lead them.
I figured the Azure Sky Sect was destroyed in the war when Pu brought out its sect protecting formation. Zuo Mo is going to have a bit of trouble if the GCC finds out about it. I wonder if he’d stick to his lie or come up with a new one.
They probably either a) killed major people from their sect or b) some people from the sect went traitor, giving the formation as an offering. b) would also explain why they have few people, since they don’t want it to happen again.
Sure inviting female with blades inside her though.
i’d say its also because ontop of the ingrained training discipline, he also has backing of boss, who can only be matched by Wei Shang *think thats his name…know it has Wei*
Wei Sheng
Thanks for the chapter!
The superstrong elite battalion of Tian family is the one commanded by Tian Ye, right?
From the description of the charge through the formation, I’m not sure if Tian Ye and his men followed Tian Heng Bo and went in too. Anyone wants to make a guess?
I seem to remember that Tian Ye’s troop was in the rear, and they weren’t attacking the formation. Maybe Tian Ye was smart enough not to charge in!
The mouth of the turtle closed. Prepare to be digested! XD
Thanks for the translation!
>> Translator Ramblings: I’m pretty sure that one-on-one, Gongsun Cha isn’t a match for anyone in Vermillion Bird Camp and Guard Camp … … maybe Golden Crow Camp as well but everyone is still so scared.
Don’t forget that Gongsun Cha is a butcher with a medal. With a knife in hand, he can probably carve anyone up quite efficiently, as long as his target isn’t moving.
BTW, who are Feng Bao and Li Shu? Anyone we need to remember?
Being afraid of him was funny for a time, but it’s getting old now. Imagining middle aged battle hardened guys shivering in front of some young pretty boy, they could easily kill, is grating. What are they worried about? If he used his position to order their deaths that would only backfire. There is no way Zuo Mo would let them get killed and I doubt Gongsun would do it.
He’s only got more skilled, ruthless and bloodthirsty. Remember, Gongsun Cha is the one the orders punishments and psychotic training regimens, while zuo mo gives out all the rewards. And being girly is considered very sinister in china – remember the sunflower manual’s effects on its user.
Speaking of Sunflower, that may be the reason all the guys are scared shitless when Lil’ Miss wield’s his butcher knife while smiling.
No of that matters because he can’t do anything one on one. Damn near anyone in the camp can kill him solo. Like I said, if doesn’t use his position he can’t kill them. They keep acting as if their lives are in danger. If they feared getting grueling training or some duty they didn’t want that would be different. They could be over exaggerating and comparing the severe punishments to being killed though.
It’s not a matter of him using his position or not. He -is- the position. I feel it’s a cultural thing too. It’s not like there would ever be a fight between him and one of his men. If he told them to die, they would die without questioning. Regret for displeasing him, sure, but they wouldn’t fight it. He has proven himself to them time and again. It wouldn’t enter their minds to compare his cultivation or personal fighting skills. He didn’t win their respect with brute force or physical strength is what I’m saying. I don’t know if I’m conveying my thoughts very clearly though, sorry 😛 Seniority and chain of command is the utmost important.
Okay I’m going to stop there because I feel I’m just rambling instead of clarifying now hehe
He is their battle general. If you follow a general’s command, you listen and obey without question, especially because a lot of the commands involve life and death. A trained soldier irl could definitely kill a general. The soldier would be stronger, fitter, and just overall suited for killing. But in a soldier’s mindset, the words of their general is the law. No sane soldier would disregard/disobey a command from their general. If the general has a punishment for failure, the soldiers interpret failure = punishment as fact. The idea of failure = (something else) does not exist in their thoughts. In this case, the general is unpredictable and states failure = death. Makes sense that they believe failure = death, even if their general isn’t stronger than them.
In a battle what the 2 of you said would make since, but not everyday life. This looks to be more of cultural thing though. A general that slaughters soldiers because they don’t bend to his every whim doesn’t seem like one that would be respected long no matter how skilled he his.
Thank you very much for this chapter!
I don’t know, I think Lil Miss might’ve gotten a bit stronger now that he was fed & increased his consciousness.
He might not be on the same level as a strong fighter, but he’s probably gotten stronger than a lot of the production Xiu. he might even be as strong as a regular combat Xiu.
It is all about the authority!!
Seems really negligent of the general to refuse to command the troops and telling them to handle it on their own
He is training them. Right now they are way to reliant on him – if they can defeat a silver battle general by themsleves they will be much stronger.
Isn’t Gongsun Cha still Zhuji, while every survivor of the Little Mountain (wasn’t that the name?) Realm is at least ningmai?
pretty sure he’s still a zhuji, but remember what back when when they had jinshi in their bodies. He literal decided there life or death. Also he’s stronger in other ways, being a leader he has the power to make them on top world or at the bottom.
I would like to have the author clarify his cultivation level since he ate all those conscious enhancing things in the Ancient Battleground. Sword xiu wise he’s probably still zhuji (though he’s had time he could have broke into ningmai), but Battle General wise he’s at least Gold, so I think there has to be some sort of comparison.
as far as i know
when he join with zuo mo earlier. he is still at zhuji stage.
he level up when theyre in ancient battlefield. right when zuomo feed her golden soul and ancient soul?
why they afraid of lil miss…
if u remember when they first meet and being trained by lil miss… u will know that. lil miss have already imprint his fearful appearence deep in their mind and soul. so only by seeing his face… smile… etc etc…
they will be automatic activated…
Thanks for the chapter
thanks for the chapter!
Hell have no fury like that of a lil’miss wrath
Lil’Miss Chacha just manipulated them into fighting to slaughter their enemies!
♥♦♥♦♥♦♥♦♥♦♥♦♥
Thank you for the chapter
♥♦♥♦♥♦☺♦♥♦♥♦♥
Chacha … …
Well, they said trauma last for a lifetime.
The horror from when they first start training with Lil Miss
Bashful smiles are scary.
Thank you for the chapter!
This story makes me so happy. It’s a good thing my office door is closed, I think I would get a lot of weird looks if my coworkers could see me reading this. I laugh and clap and giggle and beat my desk… hehehe If I could read it 24/7 such a happy life I would have. Well it wouldn’t really be a life I guess, but I’d be happy! 😀
One thing that mars it is how the author treats new characters sometimes. There’s so many names in this story when new ones come up I’m not sure if they are actually new or if they are people I’ve forgotten about. But it is a very small matter and doesn’t really dim my love of this author.
Can’t wait to see the new mo weapons in action! And Ma Fan et al earning their stripes. 🙂
Thank you so much for all your hard work guys!
Thanks for the translation! Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Silver Battle Generals are beneath Gongsun Cha’s notice now haha. Wonder if he’ll raise a battle general to fight the small battles for him.
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks wyhcwe!
“The large formation in front of them had suddenly opened, the fertile Turtle Island was like an inviting female, with legs spread in front of them.”
After reading this sentence my imagination runs wild, fitting for my pseudonym 😜🤣
PS CORRECTION:
The six jindan changed out at the front!
It should be:
The six jindan *charged* out at the front!
Thanks for the chapter!
