Zuo Mo had learned many things from this fight.
First, this fight showed that no matter how strong the spell or the individual’s strength, they could not defend against scheming. In reality, Huang Zhuo Guang was strong, the sword scripture he cultivated was strong. Most xiuzhe battled in the skies, and was the place his sword essence was most powerful.
This sword scripture was really powerful!
But even the strongest sword essence could be stopped if its weakness was found
The second point had strengthened Zuo Mo’s desire to take his spoils. The other had been so strong even when attacked at his weakness, it was all due to support from his talismans! Truthfully, if he hadn’t been here today, Zheng Zhong and the others wouldn’t have been able to trap him.
At important times, talismans could save lives.
Even though the scene was slightly bloody, it could not stop Zuo Mo’s decision to scalp. However, he only picked one thing this time [Clear Sky Sword Scripture].
When he held it, Zuo Mo knew he made a profit. He didn’t plan on cultivating this [Clear Sky Sword Scripture]. Right now, there were too many things he had to practice. Reality showed that his talent in the consciousness and body cultivation were stronger. Adding on that he had to study formations, he wanted to cut himself in half.
After discovering that [Clear Sky Sword Scripture] was suitable for aerial battle, he thought of Lil’ Miss’ subordinates. If they could cultivate this, then that power, hee hee … …
At the very least, a complete fifth-grade sword scripture could sell for a high price
Nothing was left on Huang Zhuo Guang’s body, not even the remaining Double Eyed Tiger Head Boot. Other than Zheng Zhong who picked an item ,the rest were divided among the people. There were more people than talismans, so everyone looked at Zuo Mo. Luckily, Zuo Mo was used to being a leader and used the simplest method, drawing straws.
Everyone had an equal chance. The people who got it were happy, the people who didn’t could only sigh at their bad luck.
The other people had even more respect for Zuo Mo. Zuo Mo’s punch that killed Huang Zhuo Guang had frightened them half to death. That was Huang Zhuo Guang! In their hearts, Zuo Mo’s strength had reached a level they could not comprehend, and Zuo Mo was fair. He wasn’t like other leaders that took everything.
Everyone could respect this kind of person.
Zuo Mo saw them look at him, and was clear to their thoughts. He said, “Since you all want to enter the formation, then let me first say the rules. If there is danger, I am not responsible for saving you. You have to think of ways to protect yourselves. The division will be like just now.”
Everyone instantly became cheerful. They had never entered a secret realm before.
Zuo Mo slowly scanned over everyone and said in a deep voice, “I’ll say the ugly things first. Don’t blame me for being rude if any of you cause trouble.”
Finishing, he didn’t look at the people behind him, turned, and entered the secret realm.
The scenery in front of him suddenly change, but it made him freeze where he stood. Zheng Zhong who followed behind him turned to stone instantly. Every person who came in afterwards had dazed expressions.
This … … this secret realm was really too small!
The scene in front of them could be encompassed within their field of view. It was a place the size of a yard, only ten zhang in radius. In the middle, there was a sweetly sleeping grey bird. There was nothing else in the area. Other than the ling energy slightly dense than the outside, there was nothing.
Zheng Zhong said in a low voice, “This should be a secret realm that just formed.”
He saw that Zuo Mo was still frozen there and assumed that Zuo Mo was very disappointed so he hurriedly explained. He had great admiration for Zuo Mo. Even though the other was much younger than he was, not in terms of moves and aura, he could not catch up. He had seen many of the leaders in Little Mountain Jie, and no one could rival this youth
That grey bird was sleeping well, a string of saliva hanging from its mouth. Due to the small space, it was possible to hear the rise and fall of its snores.
The anger instantly flamed up in Zuo Mo’s heart, his expression instantly becoming twisted and frightening Zheng Zhong and the others.
Zuo Mo darted forward and, pia, slapped Silly Bird’s head, the feathers flying!
Silly Bird opened her eyes dazedly.
“You idiot, ge nearly died to find you, had to fight other people, and killed all the way over here. You’re great, had a nice sleep! Ah-ha!”
Pia!
Another slap.
“Eat eat eat! You glutton! You ate so much! Got into trouble! Will you die if you don’t eat?! I’m telling you that from today onwards, you can’t eat anything … …”
Zuo Mo’s swearing stunned the group of people. They were puzzled. What were the origins of this grey bird. Zuo Mo hadn’t been this angry even when he was facing Huang Zhuo Guang!
Just as Zuo Mo’s saliva flew, Silly Bird resumed clarity. It slowly stood up, methodically preening the feathers on its body, not even looking at Zuo Mo straight through the entire process.
The people in the surroundings were stunned again.
Zuo Mo saw the bird still had a proud expression as though she had no regret, and anger rose. He suddenly grabbed Silly Bird.
This bird just lacked discipline! Ge will educate her.
Unexpectedly, the grey shadow in front of him flashed, and his grasp was empty.
Hm!
In another corner, Silly Bird looked at Zuo Mo out of the corner of her eyes with a gaze that was as proud as usual.
Zuo Mo shouted in fury, “Great! If ge doesn’t discipline you today, you don’t know how high the sky is, how wide the earth is!”
Zuo Mo’s body flashed. Before he could reach out, an astoundingly fast grey shadow brushed past him.
So fast!
Zuo Mo paused, his hand coming up empty again
In another corner, Silly Bird raised her head, still stepping her unique bird walk as she walked gracefully towards the crowd
Clank!
The people that were completely amazed by Silly Bird unconsciously stepped back to form a path
Silly Bird was not courteous, calmly walking towards the entrance.
Was what just happened a delusion? Zuo Mo wasn’t sure. Had this bird gotten some benefits this time? He looked at the empty and bare secret realm. He felt it was increasingly likely. This bird was a glutton. All the good things probably ended up in her stomach. This could not stand. He had to interrogate her when they got back.
Zheng Zhong’s expression changed slightly. Of the crowd, his cultivation was the highest. He had seen that scene clearly just now. That grey bird was almost impossibly fast. He clearly saw that when Zuo Mo moved, it had brushed past Zuo Mo and passed to the other side.
What did that mean?
It meant that the grey bird’s speed was many times faster than Zuo Mo! Zheng Zhong’s cultivation was higher than Zuo Mo, but there wasn’t a great difference in speed between the two of them. Multiple times faster than Zuo Mo, meant it was multiple times faster than him!
Zheng Zhong felt he was going insane.
Heavens! What world was this, how could so many weirdos come out?
He already felt the next generation was terrifying due to Zuo Mo’s strength. Now there was a bird that was multiple times faster than he was! Zheng Zhong didn’t dare to even think about what other abilities this grey bird had. Just its lightning fast speed was enough for it to be undefeatable.
Completely speechless, Zheng Zhong felt even more curious about Zuo Mo’s identity.
So young and such power, with such a strong ling beast, he definitely wasn’t an average xiuzhe. Was it a disciple of a large sect? He felt that it was plausible. He always believed that what Clear Sky Sect was doing to Little Mountain Jie could not continue for long.
The reason was very simple. Kun Lun certainly would
allow such a matter to occur within its borders!
When he had been young, he had interacted with a Kun Lun disciple, and it left a deep impression on him.
Zuo Mo had faced Huang Zhuo Guang and didn’t hesistate in killing the other. Any factions that existed in Little Mountain Jie wouldn’t be so impulsive.
Young, of incomprehensible strength, a strong ling beast, and not afraid of Clear Sky Sect seeking revenge.
With all these conditions added together, Zheng Zhong increasingly felt that Zuo Mo could possibly be a disciple of Kun Lun. Oh, even if he wasn’t, he was at least the disciple of a large sect.
Just as Zheng Zhong was thinking hard, Zuo Mo had ran out of the secret realm.
The others still searched in the secret realm due to dissatisfaction, wanting to plow the ground three chi deep, but still did not find anything
Zheng Zhong was cunning and tightly followed Zuo Mo. He already made the decision to follow Zuo Mo. If Zuo Mo was a disciple of a certain big sect, then they wouldn’t lose if they followed. If Zuo Mo wasn’t a disciple of some large sect, and relied on himself to get to this step, then he was a monster.
Having made the decision, his face was full of smiles. Once a person’s attitude changed, their feeling when they looked at something was completely different. The more he looked, the more he felt that Silly Bird had an aura and mannerisms.
Good bird! An unparalleled good bird!
Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo cleans out Huang Zhuo Guang and Silly Bird cleans out the secret realm. Someone commented and guessed this in one of the previous chapters but I cannot remember who you are. Silly Bird truly learned everything Zuo Mo knows.
Silly Bird has levelled up. Not humanoid right now, sorry to disappoint those of you who wanted that to happen. But why be human? Birds can fly faster, they have sharp beaks and claws. There’s advantages to being a bird and I’m not seeing the benefit of a humanoid shape.
Zheng Zhong gives his viewpoint of Zuo Mo. I do think he is over-thinking it but he’s still quite perceptive.
Chapter 277: Detection
Wu Kong Mountain.
Mu Xi suddenly stood up, “What? Stars in Daytime appeared in Little Mountain Jie?”
“Yes, Daren!” the middle-aged person responded. He was somewhat puzzled. “But we clearly had searched on our way here. It isn’t possible.”
Mu Xi waved her hand. “That isn’t a mystery. If this daren does not want to meet us, they naturally will have ways to avoid our scans.”
She sank into thought. After a while, she raised her head. “It isn’t a coincidence that Stars in Daytime happened here and in Little Mountain Jie. Search to see if there is anyone from Wu Kong Sword Sect that has not moved to Bright Wave Jie. Use every resource we have, and notify the other daren to look into this matter. Also, tell our scouts in Little Mountain Jie pay attention to the xiuzhe that moved to Little Mountain Jie from Sky Moon Jie, especially those that had previously been Wu Kong Sword Sect disciples.
The middle aged person said, “We didn’t leave enough people in Little Mountain Jie.”
“Then send more,” Mu Xi said decisively. “Send a three hundred man troop immediately to Little Mountain Jie for this matter. This information shall be immediately reported to the Elder Council. Urge that the supporting troops should advance and quickly take over Little Mountain Jie.’
“Yes!” The middle-aged person said cleanly.
———
Not long after, a yao troop of three hundred people hurriedly flew away. The mood of Wu Kong Mountain became tense.
However, even Mu Xi would never have thought there was a group of people hiding in the mountain beneath her feet.
“They’ve started to move. A three-hundred strong troop. Looking at the direction, they seem to be going to Little Mountain jie.” A young person with sharp brows said.
In front of him was Lin Qian. There was a person standing beside Lin Qian, it was Wei Sheng.
“Little Mountain Jie?” A pondering expression flashed through Lin Qian’s eyes. “Did they find something in Little Mountain Jie? Brother Wei, how many shidi do you have in Little Mountain Jie?”
Wei Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly, but he truthfully answered, “Only Zuo Shidi and the others.”
“Had my eyes failed me?” Lin Qian muttered to himself.
Wei Sheng did not reply. The mood instantly became slightly awkward. They were currently in the sword cave Wei Sheng had trained in before. He was very familiar with the place. No one would have thought that there was an elite force hidden in here.
This was the strongest troop that Wei Sheng had ever seen! They were well-trained, and had great endurance. What shocked him the most was their individual strengths. Most of them were of similar age to him, no older than sixty years old, and all of them had ningmai cultivation, each just slightly weaker than him, and about the same as Luo Li Shidi. In a slightly smaller sect, this kind of cultivation was enough to become a core disciple, but here, they were just average members.
Eight hundred people. He could not think how powerful this faction was to have gathered such a strong force!
Lin Qian’s identity became even more mysterious in his mind. It was clear these people respected Lin Qian from the bottom of their hearts. He was certain that if Lin Qian encountered danger, every person here, except himself, would be willing to give up their lives to defend him.
But no matter how much power Lin Qian had, Wei Sheng still did not like him. Because Lin Qian was suspicious of Wu Kong Sword Sect. Even though the sect had already migrated and settled down in Bright Wave Jie, Wei Sheng was filled with deep attachment towards everything of Wu Kong Mountain.
On the matter of Zuo Shidi’s disappearance, he maintained his silence. He had a deep bond with Zuo Mo. He could understand the sect’s actions, but he could not completely accept them. Presently the sect was much larger than before, but the flavor had changed. Not just him, even Luo Li and Xiao Guo maintained their silence.
The Desolate Wood Reef had received a destructive attack from the yao army. The chance that Shidi was still alive was small.
He wasn’t willing to take Lin Qian and his group to hide in the sword cave, but due to the sect leader’s orders, he carried it out. He decided to just observe. He was familiar with every place in Wu Kong Sword Sect, and never found any place that was unusual. Yet what he hadn’t expected was that the yao army had come to Wu Kong Mountain and established their base here.
His head was lowered as he thought. He suddenly felt that if it really was Zuo Shidi and the others that were the problem, it wasn’t a bad matter. At least, it meant that Zuo Shidi was still alive. Thinking about that, his brow relaxed.
———
In a secret realm in Sky Moon Jie, Bo Feng listened to the report of his subordinate and said heavily, “Little Mountain Jie?”
After a while, he shook his head, “Let’s just observe.”
———
Zuo Mo was very depressed, extremely depressed. Silly Bird was extremely fast now, flying close and far away. Her eyes undoubtedly showed the attitude of an ungenerous person who had become powerful.
Showing off, boldly showing off!
Zuo Mo gritted his teeth. He had thought many times of raising his hand to throw bolts of Yang Fiendish Hard Lightning at Silly Bird. He really saw the bird clearly. Usually, she was a proud show-off. Now she was even more so with the support of her faster speed.
This could not be tolerated!
Before he could think of an idea, he heard Zheng Zhong praise from beside him, “This bird is really wonderful! As fast as lightning, it is rare to see, really rare to see!”
Liu Gui and the others agreed.
Zuo Mo almost spat blood upon hearing it. He glanced and saw the smugness in Silly Bird’s eyes had increased, the grey feathers at her tail rising towards the sky.
Ge finally knows why you guys have had such a hard time, you don’t have good eyes!
Zuo Mo ignored them. There we
re eighteen xiuzhe that decided to follow him. The others chose to leave. Zuo Mo didn’t try to get them to stay. Of this group, other than Zheng Zhong who he felt had some skill, the strengths of the other people were just average.
Without him realizing it, his eyes had become much picker.
He had felt this especially clearly in the fight this time. If it was the batch of people that Lil’ Miss had trained, if he had had one platoon, then he had the confidence to kill Huang Zhuo Guang.
If this group met a group from Vermillion Bird Camp, one on one, the two sides would be fight to a stalemate. Five versus five, Vermillion Bird Camp would win. Ten versus ten, there was no meaning. One hundred versus one hundred, Vermillion Bird Camp wouldn’t even have one fatality.
He heard that Vermillion Bird Camp was trying out new battle tactics now, and he felt anticipation. Gongsun Shidi had settled into his role even more, and became even more outstanding.
The female xiu flew silently beside him, Zheng Zhong and the others felt she was slightly strange, but held no fear towards her. Yet Silly Bird was extremely afraid of the female xiu. Even though she continuously came up to Zuo Mo to show off, she didn’t dare go near the female xiu.
Zuo Mo glanced at the female xiu and sighed. Even though it looked as though she was fine, but in reality, her body had been severely wounded this time.
When he got to the mountain cave, the female xiu was still meditating. He took the chance to inspect her body, and found a strange situation. Her body was even more damaged, but the strange purple power inside her body had become even greater.
This was a situation that Zuo Mo felt he could not understand.
This purple power was like a net trapping every part of her body. Her body had already become split into pieces. The only reason she had not collapsed was due to this purple power. However, Zuo Mo also found the more damaged her body was, the stronger this purple power was, and the tighter it enveloped her.
