Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Nine – Meeting Up
“Shui Yue, how have you been these days?” a friend called out loudly.
“Hah! How has he been? Which one of you have ever seen him go out play?” another friend rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly.
Shui Yue smiled slightly and did not respond.
“Ah, I feel that my question is pretty stupid too.” The friend shrugged. “Alright, we’re going, we just got something on our hands, and it really would be a waste not to go out and have some fun.”
“This guy really wastes his good skill!” The other friend’s words were filled with envy and jealousy.
Shui Yue smiled and waved at his friends as they left. He was not tall and his figure was slim. His short hair was messy and soft, and his complexion was slightly pale and caused him to look prim and delicate. The smile on his face was especially endearing. Along the way, many females glanced at him, and some more daring mo females threw seductive looks in his direction.
Suddenly, Shui Yue’s expression changed slightly and his steps stilled. His expression quickly recovered and he looked just like usual except that he walked at a slightly faster pace.
When he returned to his home, Shui Yue quickly locked his doors. At this time, a thread of excitement flashed through his eyes.
He spread open his palm. A bright blood coloured dragon had clearly appeared on his skin. The blood dragon’s head was raised proudly, that pair of eyes giving off a vicious air as though it could fly out of his hand at any moment.
“It is true! It is actually true!” he said to himself. He was out of his mind in excitement, laughing and crying at the same time.
He recalled both his father and grandfather who had passed away. Their last words had been so similar.
Wait for the blood summons!
He had doubted whether or not the blood summons existed numerous times. Grandfather had waited his entire life and never gotten it, Father had never gotten it either. He did not truly know what the blood summons were. To him, the faint dragon script on his palm was just a memento to remember his father and grandfather by. The blood summons existed only in a tiny part of his mind, a corner that he had long forgotten.
The Water Moon Family, he smiled weakly. When Grandfather had grown old, he would always tell stories about the past glory of the Water Moon Family, but from youth, Shui Yue only listened to them as stories, because he had never feel the glory of the Water Moon Family. None of his friends had ever heard of the Water Moon Family.
As for Water Moon mo skill, it was just slightly better than the average mo skills. Shui Yue who had been very mature from a young age was extremely hard-working and his talent among those of the same age was among the top half. Grandfather had sighed countless times while saying that if Water Moon mo skill was complete, Shui Yue would far surpass his present skill.
When Shui Yue heard this, he would hurriedly try to comfort his grandfather each time, saying that he could still become very strong with the present mo skill.
He never believed that there was a complete Water Moon mo skill, but he understood Father and Grandfather.
Old people would always live in their memories of their past glory.
Not long after Grandfather passed away, Father also passed as well. Shui Yue had started to learn how to make a living for himself. Fortunately, he had worked hard from a young age, and was much stronger than those of his age cohort. As he was composed and willing to work-hard, people gradually stopped underestimating him because of his age.
He was young, but after hunting mo embryos, his battle experience was high.
Starting from a long time ago, he assumed that he would live his life like this.
Until today when the blood summons appeared!
Shui Yue recovered from his daze, his eyes becoming clear again. He stood up and started to pack.
There was no mental struggle, no resistance. He didn’t know why. Maybe it was that the stories and reminders from his father and grandfather had leached into his blood in his youth, even if he told himself countless times that the blood summons didn’t exist.
For the blood call, his forefathers had struggled and lived.
This youth’s pale face was now full of longing.
———
Ceng Lian’er found it strange. Today, Zuo Mo had not cultivated like he usually did. She smelt something was unusual. In the days since she had come, she had personally seen how crazy Zuo Mo was in his dedication to cultivating. He was crazy, squeezing out every second of time. She had been astounded inside.
He repeated the dull and dry cultivation process over and over as though he did not know exhaustion.
In her eyes, Zuo Mo’s manipulation of shen power was very crude and there were still many flaws. It was not as refined as hers, but if the two of them fought to the death, she felt that the one to survive would be Zuo Mo.
He really was a crazy person!
Every time she thought this, she would unconsciously look at A Gui. Those shattered yet heart-shaking visions would silently creep into her mind and cause her heart to tremble.
She casually pondered and observed as though everything had nothing to do with her.
But today, Zuo Mo was acting out of the ordinary!
He wasn’t cultivating! This was the first time in the many days she had been here, that she saw him stop his cultivation.
Even though Zuo Mo seemed very calm, Ceng Lian’er perceptively noticed the thread of excitement in his eyes.
Was something about to happen?
At this time, Zuo Mo suddenly stood up.
Almost at the same time, a bunch of little dots appeared in the distant horizon.
Those were … …
Ceng Lian’er’s heart shook slightly as she stared at the little black dots. While her expression was calm, her surprise increased. And her maid, Yan’er’s expression showed terror.
A battalion!
Ceng Lian’er’s eyes were very sensitive. There was only a hundred people but she could judge, from the organized formation, that this was a battalion, and it was a battalion that was very strong in combat!
A black flag was held at the front of the troop with a large word “Guard” written on it.
This battalion did not move quickly, but the formation was strict and flawless. The shock it brought was enough for Ceng Lian’er to be stunned, the daughter of a jie master who had seen numerous battalions!
The other also noticed the four of them and the troop suddenly turned in their direction.
Like a shark that smelt blood, the entire battalion accelerated without warning. A wild howl started like hundreds of beasts howling as they charged!
Ceng Lian’s fist unconsciously tightened within her sleeve. She felt as though an invisible rope was strangling her!
“Miss!’ Yan’er’s face was ashen, her scream filled with terror. She pulled hard at Ceng Lian’er’s sleeve trying to pull her to escape.
Even though her face was a pale white,Ceng Lian’er did not move at all because she noticed that Zuo Mo was motionless.
Was it … …
An absurd idea rose in her mind.
Boom!
The battalion had arrived. The dust that rose up from their landing was like a wall of earth that had appeared out of nowhere. It rose up and shrouded everyone’s view!
Two zhang away, Zuo Mo fearlessly stood in front of the earth wall like a spear.
The wall of dirt dissipated and the true appearance of this battalion was exposed to Ceng Lian’er. The first phrase in Ceng Lian’er’s mind was, veterans. This was a troop of just one hundred people, and each person’s individual strength wasn’t worth anything in her eyes. But when this dusty troop appeared in front of her, she was unable to dismiss their existence.
They seemed to be part of one being, the combat formation was intimidating as though it was a killing machine that was prepared to massacre the enemy at any moment.
“Daren!”
Many people’s voices were hoarse but everyone had excitement on their faces. Morale was high as they stared at Zuo Mo, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration and respect.
Looking at their dirt covered uniforms and the exhaustion that could not be hidden, Zuo Mo’s nose felt sore. He suppressed it, and a smile bloomed on his face. “Everyone, you must have worked hard!”
“Have everyone rest.” Zuo Mo said to Shu Long in a soft voice.
Shu Long was hesitant.
Zuo Mo knew what he was worried about and said directly, “I have broken through to yuanying!”
Ecstasy appeared on Shu Long’s voice and then he nodded, giving the order to rest. When the order was given, everyone immediately sat down where they were.
Zuo Mo walked over and inspected every person to see if there were any hidden wounds. They had completed such an astoundingly long journey with many fights big and small along the way by gritting their teeth and holding their breath. Now that they released it, the exhaustion and suppressed wounds would come up like the tide.
Yan’er’s little mouth was wide. Everything that was happening in front of her surpassed her imagination. This battalion … … was that guy’s!
She didn’t understand why Miss had to follow this guy. Was it because he had healed and woken Miss up? It was the first time she had seen a man being carried in a princess carry by a woman. Such a weak man … …
But since Miss had decided to do this, she did not speak. In any case, her duty was only to follow Miss.
This scene stunned her and her mind turned blank.
Ceng Lian’er’s gaze was deep. From beginning to end, she did not speak a word and only looked deeply at Zuo Mo.
It was unknown what she was thinking.
———
“Jie Master! We have identified them, this battalion is Butcher Guard Camp!” Chao Yu reported in haste.
“En?” Ceng Yi caught the thread of fear in Chao Yu’s voice and couldn’t help but feel slightly shocked. He knew his subordinate well who was usually black-hearted and very daring. It couldn’t be anything normal that had caused Chao Yu to lose his composure.
“Butcher Guard Camp … …” Ceng Yi said amusedly, and then asked, “What is their background?”
“Unknown, they are a battalion that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They number just over one hundred people, but some time ago, when they were passing through Eminent Mountain Jie, they were surrounded and attacked by bandits. They massacred three thousand bandits and left unharmed.” When he spoke to here, Chao Yu couldn’t help but think of the blood scene in the mirage he had obtained, and his expression was slightly ugly.
“Eminent Mountain Jie, the jie of bandits!” Ceng Yi’s expression suddenly became grave. “One hundred … … three thousand … … unharmed … …”
He felt deep shock at this news. Eminent Mountain Jie was not far from where they were, and the fame of the jie of bandits was well-known. Even though he did not pay any attention to bandits, but three thousand bandits were not a small number. If the other side had just one hundred people, then it was a very terrifying matter.
If it was his battalion, he couldn’t help but shake his head. Unless he personally lead the troop, and took along all of the brigadiers and colonels under his command, he wouldn’t obtain such a result.
That youth’s face appeared in his mind. He was shocked. This person’s background definitely was not simple.
Thinking of his daughter, he grimaced. There was no use in thinking so much. Other than getting onto good terms with the boy, what else could he do?
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Order the Celestial Planet Guard to follow Miss. No matter where Miss goes, they have to follow. Even if Miss tries to get them to leave, they have to follow.”
“Celestial Planet Guard!” Chao Yu gaped and was stunned.
Translator Ramblings: Finally arrived … …
First . THanks for the chapter 😀
Hahaha…
I always saw you commenting something.
Seems like we have the same taste when it comes to web novels 😀
And Zuo Mo gains a new attack force. Kinda surprised they didn’t mention the Yao traveling with gaurd camp though.
It’s <100 "Mo" from the Guard Camp, and 100 people total. The Yao and Flower Xiu (and I think they have actual Mo with them?) are part of the 100.
Well, it said a few chapters back that it wasn’t uncommon for Yao and Mo to be together since their common enemy was the Xuzhe. Or maybe they hadn’t noticed them yet?
Was more referring to the author not mentioning the named yao who he has recruited. Felt like they would be mentioned instantly having met their daren, but he had time to check for wounds on guard camp and Cang Ze and Nan Yue were never mentioned.
its common for mo and yao be on the same battatlion, when they first attacked the island that Zuo Mo was managing, there was mo between the yao too.
Kinda agree with the hope to have the named yao group mentioned. But then again this author will probably take a full chapter just to describe their personal responses. And I’m ok with that. Mostly because everyone is going to be complete confusion not knowing whether they’re impressed, let down, afraid(“I’ve reached yuanying”) or overwhelmed lol.
zuo mo got new batallion hahaha. thanx for the chapter
I wanted to see Mo Matrix Master’s reaction to that.
Much thanks.
Another Sparta soon? Ge is here…
Thx 4d ch
Guard camp is here!
Thank you for the chapter!
Thx!!!
Yay finally Zuo Mo and Guard Camp met up!!!✨ Loyal Shu Long & team plus their Yao group in real life. Wonder how they will get together with eldest shixiong Wei Sheng? Can’t wait to find out more about the blood summons from Pu & Wei. Since Zuo Mo broke through Yuanying, is there a cultivation higher than this? Thanks for the early updates this week!😊✌️
let me teach you something amazing!
press “home”, hover the mouse’s pointer above “world of cultivation” and click on “cultivation terms and glossary”.
Thanks for the “amazing” tip. Just checked the cultivation terms & glossary. Next level-up is Fanxu and last is Dasheng.
oO I was kinda of kidding, sorry. XD
anyway, is possible that ppl dont know about it, I’m glad to have been of help.
>.<
Yeah actually it helped me out so now I know. Thanks for the clarification it’s all good.😊
Yay! The gang’s all(most) here! Things are really getting exciting with the blood summons and everyone’s hard work. Can’t wait for more chapters 😀 Thank you!
Will say I had the same yay moment. Followed by a “Ah yeah!!! Things ’bout to get real all up in here now,” moment. Followed by “Dang I’m too white for that response lol” But yeah super excited to see things getting real with ZM and crew on the move again.
I’m mildly surprised that Ceng Yi isn’t happy that his daughter chose someone with an apparently higher station in life than him. Though I suppose if he was the sort that cared about that type of thing, he wouldn’t be the jie master of such a worthless jie. He may also be worrying about how he strong-armed Zuo Mo originally.
I wonder how Guard Camp will react to his newest harem addition.
Also wondering how her maid could have failed to notice that Zuo Mo is at the general level too. And how she managed to not hear the conversation in which her master directly explained why she was following Zuo Mo, in spite of standing right next to her.
I’m curious how the poor and weak mo and yao that receive the call from those two will actually make the expensive and dangerous journey necessary to answer it.
I’m not a father yet, but I believe that if I was to have a daugher, I wouldnt like the son-in-law, no matter what. I doubt any father who really loves his daugher would like it too, no one cares about the son tho.
unlike most xianxia where the father is happy to give his beloved daugher away, I find Ceng Yi’s reaction way more plausible.
Father and son in law need time to build trust. If there is no trust, how can you feel comfortable to give your precious daughter to someone else? I completely agree with you ^^, his reaction is more realistic as a father who loves his daughter, but I think he will soon have 100 good motives to trust Zuo Mo XD, or at least he will be sure that the other is really someone with some powerful background ^^
you are quite optimistic, I dont think so tho, cause I’m not sure that it will become a harem (even though I want it to!! u-u) and if he doesnt take A’Gui as wife, he will incur public wrath.
ofc, she may be blood-related and the author may have trolled us all so…
my point is, the Jie master will not be very happy with her daugher following and doing pair cultivation with a man who will not marry her.
a harem would solve it all though.
“I doubt any father who really loves his daughter would like it too”. Some realize that they won’t be around forever and are happy that there is someone around who cares for their daughter. You can’t say if someone is happy that their daughter found someone that they don’t love her.
Yeah i dont get how that maid can be so stupid.
Is his jie worthless? Shattered Stone Town was a back water town, but I don’t think that indicates the quality of the whole jie. You’re trivializing being a jie master too. I bet the only reason he even manged to become one was because of his unique bloodline. He seems like a guy that prefers to rely on himself too. Though I would put money on him being on edge that his daughter has to travel with the man he threatened. Or he could think that Zuo Mo did the paired cultivation thing on purpose as insurance and to punish him.
He himself trivialized it a few chapters ago. With his power, he could rule over a much better jie, but he’d have to get involved in politics and join a faction if he wanted it to have any degree of stability or profitability. Also, when people referred to the place as worthless, they were referring to the entire jie, not any individual town.
And, in case you’ve forgotten, people much much weaker than him can be jie masters. Like that first jiedan Zuo Mo killed, or Zuo Mo himself until recently, or their original jie (name escapes me).
Yeah, being a jie master has to do with the neighbors around as well. If you are surrounded by very powerful neighbors with powerful rulers, you won’t be able to get a very big territory even if you are strong.
Personal thought on Ceng Ye’s response. 1) He knows he done screwed up because he stepped all over ZM’s pride by threatening his life when he was injured and unable to respond. 2) His daughter dies as soon as ZM dies so he can’t do anything to ZM. 3) An apparently “normal” portion of ZM’s power base created a new legend by just going out for a stroll. 4) Ceng Ye already made it clear in the chapter where his daughter woke up that he was staying in that jie because of the fact he doesn’t want to be part of the political games of the Marshals……at least that’s how I read it. 5) His whole line is apparently secret Shen power practitioners that aren’t looking to be safe even amongst the Mo. 6) All signs currently point to ZM being at least on the level of those same Marshals that he’s been trying to not group up with.
So in summary Ceng Ye stepped all over a higher authority, had his lineage secret exposed, and had his daughter taken hostage to hold against Ceng Ye’s loyalty.
I don’t see anything in there for Ceng Ye to be happy about. Granted that’s not likely how ZM sees but hey Ceng Ye has to look at from the worst position possible if he wants a chance at survival for his daughter.
I don’t think Ceng Ye cultivates Shen power. I’m pretty sure that his daughter just got lucky and caught the interest of a shen cultivator who decided to take her as his disciple.
thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the new chapter!
So we got another camp to the list, Celestial Planet Guard! XD
Wow, the list is getting really big!
Thanks for the translation!
I hope ZM wont have a good relationship with Ceng Yi after what he did to him and how he killed the 100 mo matrix master for no reason. ZM should kill him, and leave with his troop. And hopefull cut his connection with the new girl, so he wont get dragged down and risk his life because of her.
Wait a minute…who killed who? Zuo Mo’s matrix master disciple got killed or what?
No, before this guy kidnapped ZM and his deciple. He had already kidnapped over a 100 other mo matrix masters, and forced them to try to heal his daughter. But they couldent, and he killed them all for that. So i think that trash like him should be killed off, instead of being a part of ZMs group
The connection can’t be cut and he’ll be risking his life for her regardless because if one dies the other is screwed. I don’t get how leaving her in a place he can’t see is beneficial.
I said i hope he can cut the connection, so that he wont be forced to share his life and death with her. And no leaving her behind without getting rid of their connection isent benefical at all, i know that. But bringing her along isent that safe either, since he will have double the chance of dying, when they go that extremly dangerous mo jie. Since he will have to look after his own life but hers too. This predicament is really forced and stupid. It would have been okay if there was concent from them, but neither of them were willing, so i find it bs.
She’s most likely the second strongest (arguably the strongest) person right now. A general level mo with a unique physique and a complete shen power inheritance. She’s as likely to be saving him.
I can see why Zuo Mo is disgruntled now, but objectively, the connection is beneficial. His power increases quicker, the bomb on his hand isn’t as dangerous, and he is linked to an extremely powerful person.
Thank you.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks!
Thanks for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter!
finally arrived with cliff following them ……………………
Thanks For The Chapter 😀
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
The escort finally came to pick up the newlywed.. but dotting papa still doesn’t want to let her go..
Somehow I think that Joe is going to be an auxiliary headquater
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Ceng Yi sure dotes on her haha. She might be stronger than him now that she’s awake yet he still assigns what appears to be his best guards to her anyways.
We all know that those new guards will get drunk on the zoo mo train and become super loyal to zuo mo…..
ALL HAIL THE KING!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the translation.
Fighting force levels up again.
Haha perfect timing haven’t read since December I finally caught up
thanks for the chapter maybe zuo is from the tribe or even higher existance
In my opinion it displayed magnificent and praiseworthy effort that Ye Ling did not yell:”All Hail The King” the moment they saw Lil’Mo. Let’s give round of applause to that.

I still can’t believe Zuo Mo is a Yuanying now… He didn’t even reach Jindan before he skipped to yuanying XD
