Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteen – On The Same Path
Complete silence!
A complete and deathly silence .
Everyone started to recover from the initial shock, especially Shu Long and his group. Even though this incident had occurred so suddenly and was so implausible, it had happened in front of him!
Everyone looked at Zuo Mo. Many people couldn’t help but sigh inside—as expected of Daren!
Zuo Mo could not pay attention to them so much. His spirit was suppressed almost to the point of causing an internal injury, it took great effort to calm the energies roiling inside of him.
But as more and more gazes looked at him, he felt he needed to give, oh, display more of the mannerisms of a boss.
He straightened and coughed lightly. In the silence, it was unusually clear. He frightened himself.
Ye Ling and the other’s suddenly became alert, their expressions even more respectful.
“I say, this … …” When Zuo Mo started to speak, the presence of a boss instantly dissipated, “you guys want to pledge allegiance to me?”
“Yes, Daren!” Ye Ling’s response was clean and crisp.
“Why?” Zuo Mo asked curiously. His question attracted everyone’s attention. Truthfully, no one understood what was going on.
“Daren has the potential to become king,” Ye Ling unhesitatingly replied.
Everyone liked hearing flattery. Zuo Mo was not an exception. He instantly gave a smile. “You have pretty good eyes, you managed to find me when I am hiding so deeply?”
Gu Ming Gong who just recovered suddenly had a strange expression. But when he glanced around and saw the seriousness on Shu Long and the other people’s faces, he intelligently suppressed his impulse to laugh.
Shu Long, A Wen, and the others threw gazes of praise at Ye Ling. As Zuo Mo’s core troop and most loyal subordinates, Guard Camp was completely loyal to Zuo Mo. They originated as xiuzhe slaves. Compared to the old-timers of Vermillion Bird Camp, they were less skilled in the ways of social interaction and did not understand the customs of the xiuzhe world. Their thinking was simpler and even purer.
In their minds, Zuo Mo was the most outstanding, powerful, and wisest Daren in the world!
Even if Zuo Mo told them to jump into a fire pit, they would jump in together without any hesitation.
In their minds, they only existed for Zuo Mo.
Gu Ming Gong felt Ye Ling was only giving platitudes but Shu Long and the others did not think so. To be able to recognize Daren’s strength in such a short amount of time, this guy had pretty good eyes!
Unconsciously, Guard Camp’s collective opinion of Ye Ling shot up.
Ye Ling’s words caused Zuo Mo to float and feel as though he was an immortal. The incident of almost getting internal injury just now was forgotten immediately.
He grinned to the point his eyes were narrow lines. His face bloomed like a flower. “Potential to become king? Ohoh, tell me, slowly, in detail!”
“Yes! Daren!” Ye Ling thought that Zuo Mo was testing his abilities. He collected his thought with the utmost seriousness before he opened, “Daren is young and has cultivated the Great Day mo physique. In all of the mo world, Daren could be called a genius. Situated in such a dangerous place, Daren was able to create such a powerful army and create such a situation. Daren has the signs of being a wise leader that can survive these troubled times. Only Daren who is strong, has talent, a resilient personality, and also one with great foresight, might become king!”
Shu Long and the others nodded and exchanged looks. As they communicated through their eyes, they showed expressions of agreement.
Shrunken in the corner, Gu Ming Gong was gaping. As he looked at the smug Zuo Mo, he felt this was impossible. The person speaking was serious, the person being praised was also serious. There was no flattery, no insincerity. It was terribly sincere and honest conversation.
But … …
The clever Gu Ming Gong opened his mouth a few times, but could not produce a word.
Oh, it was a pity that Eldest Shixiong and Gongsun Shidi were not present … … ah, he had forgotten, forgotten, he should have recorded it with a jade scroll.
Extremely happy, Zuo Mo instantly felt regret. This was one of those rare chances to grow face. He wanted everyone to see this.
Finally struggling out of his regret, Zuo Mo smacked his lips with lingering hunger and coughed pretentiously. “Oh, alright! However, we need to be low-key, low-key!”
No wonder Daren was able to survive in the xiuzhe world until now and had even amassed such a group. He really understood the way of concealment!
Ye Ling said with sincere reverence, “Yes, Daren!”
Having heard the flattery and having enjoyed it, Zuo Mo felt that leaving like this was not fair. He thought and then said, “Oh, since you have such sincerity, then from today onwards, you are Grey Camp. Shu Long will temporarily lead the camp, you will be the vice commander.”
Ye Ling was overjoyed. “Thank you Daren for bestowing the name!”
“But from today onwards, you have to take note and not reveal your identity as mo,” Zuo Mo reminded Ye Ling.
“Yes!” Ye Ling was full of admiration. Daren was extremely meticulous.
He turned his head and spoke a few words. The entire mo army changed their expressions. The mo that could enter the mo military all was of relatively strong strength and changing appearances were not hard for them. However, the mo sense of beauty was far different than xiuzhe. They preferred more rough and powerful appearances.
Then Ye Long greeted Shu Long.
Shu Long and the others had been xiuzhe slaves and oppressed by xiuzhe for a long time. They did not like xiuzhe but did not have any bad feelings about mo. Ye Ling’s words just now had won their good opinion. Shu Long and the others felt as though Ye Ling spoke what they all thought!
A feeling of walking on the same path rose.
Shu Long said solemnly, “I will treat Grey Camp fairly, everyone work hard!”
“Yes!” Ye Ling was full of excitement.
Accidentally recruiting Grey Camp caused Zuo Mo’s sneak attack journey to end in a strange manner but in all, he had still accomplished his objectives.
Under the efforts of Guard Camp and Grey Camp, they quickly began setting up a new base at the chaos rift. Compared to the crude base that Ye Ling had, the scale of the new base was astounding.
However, the mo grass sea was still uprooted. This was really too eye-catching.
At this time, Ye Ling suddenly came to find Zuo Mo.
“Daren,” Ye Ling said with hesitation.
“What is it?” Zuo Mo asked.
“Daren, please permit me to persuade Shi Dong Daren to surrender!” Ye Ling gritted his teeth and said with determination.
“Shi Dong?” Zuo Mo stilled and then he reacted. “You mean the other mo army?”
“Yes, Daren,” Ye Ling hurriedly said, “Shi Dong Daren was this subordinate’s previous commander.”
“Oh, tell me about him.” Zuo Mo’s interest was stirred.
“Shi Dong Daren is born from a rare branch of the mantis mo called the Sky Mantis Mo. Shi Dong Daren is the most outstanding battle general this subordinate has ever seen. He is resilient and determent, extremely perceptive in battle. If he was not limited by his birth as a mantis mo, his accomplishments would not be limited to just so!”
“How is he compared to you?” Zuo Mo asked curiously. Ye Ling’s Mist Hand Seat had left him a deep impression.
“This subordinate is inferior,” Ye Ling said seriously, “this subordinate has always served as Shi Dong Daren’s quartermaster.”
“So that’s how it is … …” Zuo Mo instantly had the feeling he was making a great profit and hurriedly nodded, “then you can try!”
Ye Ling was overjoyed. “Yes!”
———
Smoke wafted off Shi Dong’s body. His grand cape was no torn and dirtied, his body covered in wounds of various sizes. He also had a tired expression.
Beside him, there were only half of the organized troops that remained and all of them carried wounds.
Shi Dong had not expected the other to be so powerful! Thinking about these nightmarish days of battle, his heart couldn’t help but shudder.
The enemy battle general was too powerful!
Other than at the beginning when the two were at a standoff, Shi Dong had been forced to watch as the balance of battle slowly tilted towards the enemy.
A slow yet resolute tilt!
He had tried all the solutions he could think of but was still unable to stop the tilt.
The other had suppressed them completely and did not give them any faults to use.
He had never thought he would encounter such a terrifying opponent!
Was this the legendary Xue Dong from Kun Lun? Or Tian Huan’s Gongye Xiao Rong?
Wasn’t this Cloud Sea Jie? Wasn’t this a remote little place that Four Realm Heaven disdained to enter?
How could such a peerless battle general be here?
A golden battle general!
Only a golden battle general could suppress him to the point of hopelessness!
Shi Dong was just a step away from becoming a gold battle general. If it wasn’t for his mantis mo bloodline, maybe he would be a gold battle general already. Since a very early point in his life, he had rarely encountered a match for himself. He never lacked confidence when directing battle.
But this time.
Looking at the small groups of three and five sword xiu that were nearby in the sky, he bit down on his lips with a pale face.
Just at this moment, a gasp of shock came from his vice commander.
He suddenly turned around his face with a sword-sharp gaze.
But when he saw the black insect in the vice commander’s hand, he suddenly froze.
———
“A good opponent,” Lil’ Miss’ voice was full of praise.
No one dismissed his words. The hardiness of this troop far surpassed their expectations. Even though Vermillion Bird Camp had quickly gotten the advantage, the other still withstood their assault.
Even though they could not stop the rising tide, the collapse in moral that people predicted had not occurred.
Even fighting to now with only half of their battalion left, their morale was still shocking steady. If this was a normal battalion, they would have crumbled long ago.
This kind of enemy was worthy of being respected.
Ever since Lil’ Miss created his own core scripture, his consciousness expanded rapidly by the day. His last shortcoming disappeared. Lil’ Miss who had been strong to start with, had become extremely terrifying, unusually and abnormally terrifying!
The advancement in skill caused by his increase in consciousness could be seen in this battle. From the moment the battle begun, the rhythm of battle was in his hands.
From beginning to end, he didn’t give the enemy on chance. Steadily and unrushed, with a method that was almost suffocating, he pressed on the other’s space leaving them no room to maneuver.
However, Lil’ Miss still had a high opinion of Shi Dong.
If he hadn’t had a breakthrough in his consciousness recently, the other would have been significant trouble for him to defeat. If the battle was fought in those conditions, less than one third of Vermillion Bird Camp would remain, and it wouldn’t have been zero fatalities like it was now.
The other reason they had such an advantage was the enemy mo army’s level was one lower than Vermillion Bird Camp. The investments that Zuo Mo made on Vermillion Bird Camp without any consideration for the cost finally showed their effects.
Lil’ Miss was sure that the other had power that was nearing that of a gold battle general.
Of all of Turtle Island, only Gongsun Cha and Zuo Mo had the power to fight against him. Even Shu Long was lacking in comparison.
It was a pity that Shi Dong encountered Gongsun Lil‘ Miss. The terrifying Lil’ Miss that even the renowned Corps Commander Yu Heng had fallen at the feet of!
Such a hardy opponent, Gongsun Cha sighed emotionally and turned to give the order to attack.
“Prepare to attack, let’s finish this battle before sunset.”
Suddenly, Gongsun Cha’s gaze stopped. He saw the enemy battle general leave the battle formation alone. The sword xiu at the front quickly flew back and reported to Gongsun Cha.
“Daren, they are surrendering!”
Translator Ramblings: I won’t go so far to say they are fanatical, but Guard Camp has been pretty well indoctrinated. Poor Gu Ming Gong, he’s surrounded.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you.
Thank you for the chapter.
I’m waiting to see the face of the Mo Guy when he will learn that Zuo Mo is a human
it would be more fun to watch there reaction when they learn zuo mo can use all 3 battle art. and they learn he is form some ancient tribe that older then yaomo and human. im thinking author will throwing us a twist about zuo mo race. so far right now peoples ( in the story) assume zuo mo is a human, because of were he is raise and how he look like( not sure why cause he change his apparent 3 time already ) while the author is giving us clue confirming or denies that is the case. got to loved how the author use is foreshadowing.
Yeah, he is human *taps nose, winks*
But is he actually just a normal human? Said it before, but I feel like he’s a Shen descendant (probably from a water/five-elements tribe) which is why he can train all these abilities. In other words, if that’s the case he wouldn’t be a normal human, and on top of that I have a feeling the Mo don’t care as much as the other factions would…they’re not exactly known for intelligence.
Well from were he is from we don’t know, for the moment we know that he is a xiuzhe (something like that), what I wanted to say is that he is not part of the yaomo faction (not that he is part of the xiuzhe faction), that he is able to use ling power, and that his group is principaly human, I want to see the face of the guy at this moment
You need intelligence and strategy to become a battle general on top of strength. The mo aren’t stupid. It always sounded more to me like they were ‘simple’. Not simpleton simple. Just a very simple people that worshiped strength.
And if they worship strength, then the mc will be right up their alley. He constantly gets stronger, helps his people to get stronger, and the most important thing… Teaches them how to shear sheep 🙂
Thanks for the new chapter!
yes!!! cough blood, shidi!!! XD thanks for the chapter!
In due time.. Gu Ming Gong will join the collective, there is no escape.
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks!
Thanks For The Chapter 😀
when the realize what they did how will they live with them selves.
Happily would be my answer. Zuo Mo treats his subordinates well. Even if they had some way to test him, they is no denying he has mastered a top physique.
true but settling in to that will be fun to watch
If you follow ‘strength’ over ‘race’, then you find out that this human doesn’t actually side with the other humans… Pretty sure they’ll take it well in the end.
correct he will take any useful ally he can get. that last bit is the most important the end. Also the reveal that shen power is the combination of all three powers should smooth the way for a lot of this yao Mo and xuixi non sense(
“Daren, they are surrendering!”
“All Hail The King!!!”
XD
Thanks for the translation!
I wanna know how those who runaway react knowing the mo that they scared so much surrender to turtle island
They wont’ know, they have to keep it a secret that they are mo. They will be shocked that Turtle Island killed “all” of them though.
And suddenly gained a large number of new soldiers =)
i just imagine shu long and the guard camp nodding at everything that the mo guy was saying, lol
Like birds pecking rice.
Omg… I can’t anymore.
I know that the author HAD to find Mo, to maintain balance and everything.
But, this is still funny as hell tho.
See talismans? MINE! see Jingshi? MINE! See Mo? Wait, what? 😀
The last two chapters can be titled READ THE MOOD!
it would be more fun to watch there reaction when they learn zuo mo can use all 3 battle art. and they learn he is form some ancient tribe that older then yaomo and human. im thinking author will throwing us a twist about zuo mo race. so far right now peoples ( in the story) assume zuo mo is a human, because of were he is raise and how he look like( not sure why cause he change his apparent 3 time already ) while the author is giving us clue confirming or denies that is the case. got to loved how the author use is foreshadowing.
Brilliant Chapter !
So they have the complete collection now.
The pure yao brigade has yet to join up, it’s sort of trapped behind hostile lines. Hostile to the main core, that is, they are probably sort of fine…
Oh, it was a pity that Eldest Shixiong and Gongsun Shidi were not present”
He doesn’t even mention Chunyeng. Why did the author make him? 10th grade has gotten more airtime than him at this point.
Oh, the animal guy right? I guess he’s not really related to combat so it wouldn’t really apply to him.
That shidi never leaves the beast pool….
Tenth grade is your answer why Chunyeng was introduced. Tenth grade needed a proper pappa after all. Can’t just have ZM catch all of his lil’ brigade or be gifted them like he was for Silly Bird.
so with Shi Dong, now Zuo Mo has two good battle general right? his subordinates become more powerful again.
He also picked up2-3 silver generals for black turtle corps. So they are pretty much fine on the general s front
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
Uhoh.. i wonder if gong sun is gonna cut off his head or gets impressed by the battle so much that he’ll let Shi Dong say what he has to say
Much thanks.
“His spirit was suppressed almost”
You got an extra space between “was” and “suppressed”
Hmmm….So now that they got a true Mo army amongst their ranks….I guess that the Yao army will join up with them in a hundred chapters or so? After showing off their might of course. Guess the end of the novel will be the fusion of Yao, Mo, and Xiuzhe lol
Just wait till wei and pu head the two armies and start competing with each other 😀 and jinshi, I mean Zuo Mo is gonnab e in the middle of that as a balancer
I’m anticipating the reactions of the two antiques, as well as Wei Sheng 🙂
They are still smashin their heads in after that surrender. Please check in with them in a week or 2.
Smashin iwth jingshi 😀
Its too bad ge won’t be there to see everyone’s reactions when they find out that he subordinated the enemy. I’m sure they’ll be priceless 😉
Just wondering, but how much time has passed since the beginning when Zuo Mo was just a ling farmer? It has to have been like a couple of years at this point. But For some reason i feel like everyone is mentioning how young Zuo Mo is so not that much time must’ve passed.
People at that level live for far longer and usually take decades to get there. It’s been a fair few years, but Zuo Mo is still considered extremely young compared to his strength. His longevity atm is probably a few hundred years or so (because he cultivates all three paths, it’s probably significantly higher than a normal Ningmai, not even mentioning his physique can battle Jindan)
I’m pretty sure it’s only been like a year or two
Always 0 fatalities, I know this is xianxia but come on now.. it breaks common sense.. which is what xianxia is all about… carry on then, nothing to see here
It’s probably because thanks to the formations people have been able to cover for eachother, meaning they have enough leeway to not have any fatalities. Especially so because they’re all elites and stronger than the opponents.
And all of them have epic gear
@greeeed: Money Warriors ftw
Its not due to the formation, its due to micromanagement.
They say that money can’t buy happiness, but with enough jingshi even top of the line armor can be bought for the subordinates lives and happiness. In other words, Jingshi Can Buy Happiness! All hail the Dao of Jingshi!
They say money can’t buy happiness. But Jingshi can!
(i.e. jinshi ain’t simply money)
Thanks for the chapter
Man, Wei must be pissed. Expect Grey Camp to have their training be harsh enough to make Guard Camp’s look easy.
lol it just mean there will be a complete with wei and pu yao since both just got an brand new camp. knowing both of them it going to see who can train the better camp. i feel sorry for both camp now
I’ve figured out Zuo Mo’s bloodline: He’s a reaper.
only they have such a strong indoctrination effect.
Thank you for the chapter!
Thank you very much for this chapter!
Gu ming gong being the only normal guy there.
Thank you for the chapter!
normal xiu*
Yao? Mo? Xiuzhe?
Who cares!
Jingshi is the true path!
Thanks for the chapter. New addition of mo with abilities just one level below vermilion bird camp. This is a crazy boost in power for Ge. Cloud Sea Jie has a new owner now.
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! I’m still waiting for them to find out that the camp is actually made of xiuzhe who’ve been abandoned by their various sects and brought together by Zuo Mo. If they stick around even after that revelation then he’ll have gained two more generals for free.
Didn’t you already predict the future in which he joins forces with Mo and Nan Yue camp of yao?
*pokes for a new chapter*
This is too good , should have waited a few more chapters before reading .
“We surrender” hahahahahahahaa i can already see the hellish training under shouts of “Degeneration! This is degeneration!”
‘ “Daren has the potential to become king,” Ye Ling unhesitatingly replied.
Everyone liked hearing flattery. Zuo Mo was not an exception. He instantly gave a smile. “You have pretty good eyes, you managed to find me when I am hiding so deeply?”
—
Finally struggling out of his regret, Zuo Mo smacked his lips with lingering hunger and coughed pretentiously. “Oh, alright! However, we need to be low-key, low-key!”
No wonder Daren was able to survive in the xiuzhe world until now and had even amassed such a group. He really understood the way of concealment! ‘
– Awww, LIl’Mo is flattered. And the misunderstanding keeps getting more and more severe. Poor, Ye Ling!
‘ “Oh, since you have such sincerity, then from today onwards, you are Grey Camp. Shu Long will temporarily lead the camp, you will be the vice commander.”
Ye Ling was overjoyed. “Thank you Daren for bestowing the name!” ‘
– Okay, Ye Ling, it’s good you that liked the super generic name…but you did notice that you just got demoted, right?
Ye Ling is super eager to please his new master:“Daren, please permit me to persuade Shi Dong Daren to surrender!”
Zuo Mo is considering the facts:“How is he compared to you? Stronger? Weaker?”
Ye Ling:“He is stronger. I was the underling.”
Zuo Mo is calculating profits:“So that’s how it is … …”
*insert diabolic inner laughter* Profit, profit, profit!
Zuo Mo says gracefully: “Then I permit you to try!”
Ye Ling is overjoyed: “Yes! With pleasure! Thank you, Daren!”

────────── from Jack
“Smoke wafted off Shi Dong’s body. His grand cape was no torn and dirtied, his body covered in wounds of various sizes.” – no torn?
Honestly want SOMEONE to die from Zuo Mo’s camp. Come the hell on, for every note of praise mentioned of the battlefields they’ve come off of, not a single person has died.
It’s gone too far that nothing wrong has happened in any shape or form for the army…
Thanks for the chapter!
Pu’s training his yao soldiers and Wei will train the Mo soldiers. The most amazing army in all of history is being born! 😀
Well now, isn’t this amusing? Mo army razes a few cities, everyone runs away, and now Zuo Mo recruits them, after looting all that’s left.
