Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety – Waiting
A streak of green light flew out of the stands and straight down at Zuo Mo!
At this time, the jinzhi in the battle stadium had been deactivated. Nothing was blocking this green energy. Just as the green energy appeared to strike Zuo Mo, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The black billowing sleeve was like the hissing tongue of a snake that suddenly flickered and stopped the green energy.
Ceng Lian’er!
Faint murderousness rose on that seductive face. The deep black opal eyes flashed with a strange light.
Bam!
The green energy exploded. The sleeve billowed and then suddenly grew, stopping all the green energy fragments of the explosion.
The sleeve dropped and Ceng Lian’er’s eyes flashed across the stands. The deep gaze caused people to feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
This had occurred without any warning. Ceng Lian’er’s movements had been as fast as lightning. Many people had not understood what happened. However, everyone was stunned by such an enchanting woman. Those that noticed her sleeve had stopped the green energy shifted expression.
This woman was very strong!
Ceng Lian’er moved her eyes but did not locate the attacker. Without a word, she grabbed Zuo Mo and A Gui. In a few leaps, they had disappeared.
No one dared to follow.

Black Stone Jie.
Gongye Xiao Rong’s expression was black. Beside him, Duo Li’s expression was ashamed as though he wanted to find a crack in the earth and bury himself.
Duo Li had been defeated.
The battle generals around them did not dare to even breathe heavily.
Gongye Xiao Rong took a deep breathe. He did not vent his anger. He knew that the defeat could not be blamed on Duo Li. He had seen the entire battle and while the other had been strong, their strength was evenly matched to his side. The reason that Duo Li had been defeated was mostly due to the other’s battle tactics.
Strange battle tactics.
When Gongye Xiao Rong thought about it, he couldn’t help but feel slight incredulity. That was a kind of battle tactic he had never seen before. It could use the strength of the mo in the battalion to their greatest effect.
A xiuzhe battalion that used tactics based around mo, he had never heard of such a thing!
But these strange tactics was extremely powerful. Duo Li’s performance was good but he was quickly picked apart by the other’s domineering charge.
Even if it was himself, he did not have the confidence he could beat the other if he was encountering this battle tactic for the first time.
“Reflect well. You guys really have face to be defeated by an unorthodox battalion,” Gongye Xiao Rong said coolly.
His subordinates all flushed bright red.
Gongye Xiao Rong glanced at them. “Go down, pay more attention to what is happening on the other side.”
The battle generals under his command hurriedly left as though they were being pardoned.
When there was no one left in the room, Gongye Xiao Rong’s expression suddenly darkened.
This time, he really tripped up!
He had not suspected anything when Gongsun Cha said they had just taken Orchid Home Jie. Thinking about it now that he had time to think, the situation was definitely not as Gongsun Cha had claimed. The other’s tactics had clearly been trained for a period of time. In other words, those mo had been a part of the battalion for some period of time.
How could mo enter a xiuzhe battalion?
What was strangest was that the tactics of this battalion were designed around a group of mo.
Gongye Xiao Rong was muddled. Was this a xiuzhe faction or a mo faction?
Gongye Xiao Rong did not care about who ruled Orchid Home Jie. That place was extremely easy to attack and unable to be properly defended . For the present Tian Huan, it had no value.
However, when had he, Gongye Xiao Rong, ever lost so?
Thinking about this, he suddenly smiled.
So interesting!
———
Taking down Orchid Home Jie was a great encouragement to Gongsun Cha. What made him even happier was that the Orchid Hill Jie was at the intersection of Hundred Savage Realm and Dark Realm. Going from here to Dark Realm was very convenient.
According to the jie maps he had obtained, Zuo Mo would go to the Dark Realm by passing through the Orchid Hill Jie.
In other words, right now, Gongsun Cha and the others only had to hold Orchid Home Jie and could wait here for Zuo Mo.
However, Orchid Hill Jie was unable to be properly fortified. Gongsun Cha was extremely decisive. With a wave of his hand, he decided to give up on the other regions and only set up defenses around the chaos rift.
He concentrated all of his strength around the chaos rift. Anyone that wanted to take over it would have to pay a great price. Also, Golden Crow Camp was hurrying to come. When they got here, this place would be built into a highly defended fort.
The people of the Rahula Clan were all sent towards Middle Granary Jie while A Zha Ge’s battalion was settled around the outer perimeter of Vermillion Bird Camp acting as a barrier and meat shield. Lil’ Miss did not have any sympathy for them.
A Zha Ge knew this was a hard task but he was smart. Since he had submitted to the other, if he did not integrate into this group now and earn their trust, then his clansmen would not have good days in the future.
So he did not hesitate to carry out any of Lil’ Miss’ orders.
Scouts from Tian Huan frequently appeared near the jie river but Lil’ Miss ignored them. He allowed them to investigate freely. He thought clearly. What was most valuable in Orchid Home Jie was this chaos rift. He would not feel pain if the other places were invaded and taken over.
A short while later, the number of scouts decreased and almost disappeared.
Gongsun Cha realized that Gongye Xiao Rong was planning a new approach.
———
Mu Xi patrolled the camp repeatedly. Her calm expression affected the combat yao below her. Their morale had not changed greatly after the defeat of their allies.
Of the alliance army, Mu Xi Battalion was the only battalion that survived.
Originally, she was to command the entirety of the allied army, but she had actually received great resistance from Bi Shan and the other generals. She was yao so she was naturally not welcomed as the leader of this allied army, one that was primarily comprised of mo.
The allied army quickly elected to have Bi Shan as the lead commander and in the following battles, Mu Xi perceptively detected Tian Huan’s strategy. It was a pity that Mu Xi was unable to persuade Bi Shan and the others to change their strategy.
Seeing that it could not be stopped, Mu Xi instead found an excuse to delay her battalion’s participation for a few days and so they did not land in Tian Huan’s ambush. They managed to successfully survive. Mu Xi’s astounding perceptiveness earned her the trust of her subordinates and everyone followed her faithfully.
Mu Xi recognized from the troop movements of the Tian Huan battalion that the other did not know about the existence of her battalion.
So she led the battalion to hide in the jie river of Cross pond Jie near Black Stone Jie.
She judged that Gongye Xiao Rong’s first choice of attack would be Clear Daybreak Jie and not Cross Pond Jie. She was like a patient hunter and she was just waiting for a chance to take back Black Stone Jie in order to return home!
Suddenly, a scout reported back with an excited expression. “Daren, Tian Huan has moved. As you expected, they went to Clear Daybreak Jie!”
Mu Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up. She said in a deep voice, “Gather!”
Such a good chance!
———
The attack had occurred in public and Ceng Lian’er coming out added on a spectacular brushstroke to Xiao Mo Ge and Miao Jun’s fight. The Xiao-Miao fight that had been a hot topic became even more popular.
This challenge was full of wonder.
The peerlessly domineering punch that Xiao Mo Ge used shocked everyone. And Miao Jun’s forfeit was something that every person did not understand. The strange green light and the weird Ceng Lian’er caused even more questions to arise.
Why had they tried to assassinate Xiao Mo Ge?
What was the origins of the beautiful woman next to Xiao Mo Ge? How was her true strength?
Those that cared also noticed that there was an extremely ugly woman next to Xiao Mo Ge as well but Xiao Mo Ge treated this woman much better than the beauty.
These all became topics of discussion.
Zuo Mo was not surprised that Ceng Lian’er had lent a hand. Just based on their paired cultivation, Ceng Lian’er had to save him. However, he was very angry that Ceng Lian’er had taken A Gui to the battle stadium and placed her in danger.
However, Ceng Lian’er ignored him and just drank tea in an easy and relaxed state.
Shu Long charged in. “Daren, Miao Jun has come.”
Hearing this, Zuo Mo was slightly shocked. This guy really came?
Truthfully, Zuo Mo was very shocked that Miao Jun had forfeited the match. Even he himself, did not feel that the other really forfeited. He was almost out of strength at that time, and while Miao Jun’s Azure Air Kill had been defeated, but he still had power to fight.
The situation was advantageous towards Miao Jun but Miao Jun had forfeited in that situation.
When Miao Jun walked in, he bowed properly to Zuo Mo, “Daren!”
Zuo Mo instantly felt uncomfortable. However, if he didn’t take advantage, he wasn’t Little Mo Ge. He tested, “You have really decided to work for me?”
“Yes! Daren!” Miao Jun’s expression was calm and there was no deception that he could detect.
Zuo Mo thought and then said, “I’m telling you now that I do not have Celestial Azure Essence.”
“This subordinate has guessed this.” Miao Jun’s expression was still calm. “It is not important if Daren has Celestial Azure Essence or not. This subordinate has admitted defeat, and will follow through with our bet.”
His expression was honest as though he was just stating a simple fact.
But Zuo Mo still felt it was slightly strange. But the other’s expression did not seem insincere. He could not think of a reason the other submitted no matter how he tried so Zuo Mo decided not to think. “You can find a room and settle in.”
“Yes, Daren!” Miao Jun nodded.
What did this person mean? Zuo Mo rubbed his chin. Looking at Miao Jun’s figure, he felt puzzled.
Was there someone this strong that was really willing to be someone’s subordinate? Zuo Mo did not believe it.
But if the other had some unforeseen goal, Zuo Mo felt there was nothing about him that was worthy of being targeted.
In any case, those that were barefoot were not afraid of those wearing shoes!
Zuo Mo comforted himself.
Shu Long quickly reported back with news.
One of the news items was that Zuo Mo had replaced Miao Jun and entered the Great Peace Mo Rankings and was in the twentieth position. Zuo Mo probably was the youngest genius that had entered the Great Peace Mo Rankings.
The other bit of news was that the princesses of three great families were coming together and would reach Great Peace City a fortnight later!
Princess Xia was among them!
This news caused Great Peace City to explode!
Translator Ramblings: Only moved up one spot … … long way to go!

Thanks for the chapters.
The game is hard. I’ve been pressing reload since 8:30. 🙁
*pats skyaeon* yup
Dare I recommend NU Reading list
#ItHelps
NU Reading list is for those casual sort of players. They might get into the top 10, but the top 3 would likely be nigh impossible. If you really want to be ahead of the pack, you must stay at the page and learn the Dao of refresh to get there in time.
*sagely nods, even though this is the first time actually trying it*
Wow.. you’re already refreshing this early?!
Good luck~
*does a F5 salute*
.
So i guess i’m 4th today ? Thanks for the chapter 😀
Heh, you followed that tip from yesterday. Too bad Meatbun was delivered faster today…Well, there’s always tomorrow.
The competition for fist place is very intense in this week so i am wondering if i missed something .

Meatbun is very weird today ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Lol… you stopped mentioning numbers…
Well , i always lose because i type super slow thats why i followed yesterday’s advise from the TL . XD
Thanks for the chap!
Thank
It seems Mu Xi’s battalion will be the Yao part of Zuo Mo’s army.
Wonder if the assassin tried to kill Zuo Mo because of how talented he seems or because he knows Zuo Mo’s origin. Might also have realized he’s not a mo or yao.
Mu xi battalion are mo, only mu xi is a yao
Well, I suppose he’ll get a Yao general at least.
Mu Xi and her battalion are all Yao (or atleast enough so that any Mo don’t really matter for anything), she happens to be the one who had earlier ‘disrupted’ ZM’s lucrative lifestyle at the island by investigating the ‘Stars in Daytime’ where Wu Kong Sect used to be.
Ch 576
‘“Not very smooth.” The large man shook his head, his expression worried. “They encountered trouble. Gongye Xiao Rong’s reputation is not as famous as Jiang Zhe, but he is just lacking a major victory. Bi Shan has lost two times already. Fortunately, the losses were not large. Bi Shan is planning on allying with the yao in the area. However, the battle general of that yao battalion is very young, and it is a female!”
“Female? A Zha Ge stilled.
“Yes, she’s called Mu Xi. She is from a famous family, the Palace Lake Mu Clan but she is too young. I’m slightly worried.” The large man’s expression was slightly displeased. He clearly felt discontent that their ally had sent a little girl.’
Ch 426
‘She might have been an important person of the younger generation from the Palace Lake Wood Clan, but in all of the yao world, she really was an unknown person. Her performance in the last mission could only said to be competent but average. In terms of fame, she was not as famed as Liang Wei, the only leader that had survived the previous battle, much less that mysterious and uncanny genius, Xiao Mo Ge.’
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the new chapter!
Thank you.
The distance from zero to one is far greater than the distance from one to two when it comes to these kinds of things. I wouldn’t say he “only” moved up one step.
I don’t understand why they keep saying it has no value. Sure, its hard to defend, but when paired with other jie, it is obscenely valuable as a transit point. Its value is difficult to underestimate from both a military and economic standpoint. Wars have been fought more times than anyone can count over places as strategically important as it. Unless every jie it connects to is trash, or every jie save one, there’s no reason to think of it as trash. Its value is equal to the cumulative value of every jie it connects to, friendly or otherwise. At least, from the viewpoint of a powerful faction.
Once they gain momentum then it makes it easier to defend. But It is like trying to take over asia in Risk. That shit don’t work unless you are able to easily overpower your competition.
But yes, the interconnection is a valuable trait in the long run
<3 Risk!
thanks for the chapter!
Thankyou for the new chapter!
Gongye Xiao Rong was muddled. Was this a xiuzhe faction or a mo faction?
— It’s Scalping Zombie faction or Give Your Jingshi faction or All Hail The King faction or Xiao Mo Ge Faction…what else?
Those that cared also noticed that there was an extremely ugly woman next to Xiao Mo Ge as well but Xiao Mo Ge treated this woman much better than the beauty.
–ofc, A Gui’s no 1. Moreover Ge like those foots lol
Zuo Mo instantly felt uncomfortable. However, if he didn’t take advantage, he wasn’t Little Mo Ge.
–Indeed.
But if the other had some unforeseen goal, Zuo Mo felt there was nothing about him that was worthy of being targeted.
–Ge don’t realize, there’s a lot of advantages with following Ge around. What’s with that luck and the two antiques Ge have
It’s not all luck. Give him the HINT of a formation, and he’ll magnify the effects or add something completely new into it. And Pu is still mad at how freakishly talented Zuo Mo is at Mo techniques. It also wasn’t luck when h created the wasteland desolation beast, or whatever it was called.
Super Lucky AND Freakishly Skilled. Can you ask for a better Boss? <3
Thanks for the chapter
Our zombie is too talented
haters gonna hate (and assassinate)
That last line rhymed 😀
I totally planned for that…yup. definitely. *nods ^-^
They’re freaking out because mo are working together with them. How will they react when the flower users show up in the formation and start using yao techniques? 😛
‘This woman was very strong!
Ceng Lian’er moved her eyes but did not locate the attacker. Without a word, she grabbed Zuo Mo and A Gui. In a few leaps, they had disappeared.
No one dared to follow.’
– *thinks of an wild and dangerous female lion defending her cubs and nods* “Yep, I wouldn’t follow either.”
‘How could mo enter a xiuzhe battalion?
What was strangest was that the tactics of this battalion were designed around a group of mo.
Gongye Xiao Rong was muddled. Was this a xiuzhe faction or a mo faction?’
– Me:”Why does this feel so familiar…? Oh, right. They are like the poor confused yao who were watching Zuo Mo and company fight against Kun Lun and couldn’t decide if Zuo Mo tachi were yao using xiu like methods or xiu using yao like methods. But you know, dear Gongye Xiao Rong, you haven’t seen anything yet…What would you do if you saw their formation xiu, bodycultivation xiu…yao allies, Little Ones…oh, right and the Big Boss aka freak of nature with xiu, mo and yao skills as well as shen power? Hmmm~I bet that reaction would be fun to see.”
He didn’t only move up one spot, he advanced to another tier.
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Can’t wait for Zuo Mo to gain more battle experience with his new physique. Wonder if he’ll end up building a small group of elite Mo under him while he’s here.
Thanks!
Lianer is cool. I do hope she later has an actual role or responsibility. It’s a waste to make her a mere spectator all the time! A Gui has special circumstances, so I don’t mind, but come on now! Everyone ever mentioned in either Golden Crow Camp, the Guard Camp, Vermillion Bird Camp, and the newer camps are all male! Don’t tell me there isn’t a single outstanding female! No female xiu has been named among Zuo Mo’s followers so far.
Among the yao, there is Nan Yue, but she like completely disappeared when the Guard Camp met up with Zuo Mo. None of her impressions were written. I mean, the Daren she chose to follow for his impressive use of yao arts turns out to be getting fame in the mo jies as well, and a pretty mo lady keeps following without any apparent reason…
Up until now, I thought most people assumed Zuo Mo was a couple with Lianer while A Gui was labeled as a maid or something, because I assumed people would make biased assumptions. To think everyone noticed what’s really going on…. Well, perhaps Zuo Mo’s small acts of affection aren’t as subtle as they come across when reading.
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter 😁
Thanks for the chapter
Technically speaking, Zuo Mo went up more than just one spot, try maybe a few thousand? I’m not sure where that previous dude he killed was ranked but I’m guessing there’s no lack of warriors in Great Peace City.
Thank you for the chapter!

Actually he skipped all the famous warrior rankings so he jumped up like 100s of spots directly to the top 20 🙂
