World of Cultivation - Volume 05 - Charge Out of the Ancient Battlefield

by Fang Xiang

  No matter how strong the Genius Alliance was, what did it have to do with her? She was Daren’s follower!

  Just as she was panicking, a familiar voice came from behind her. “This is where you are.”

  Hearing this voice, Nan Yue almost cried. She suppressed the urge and said with a lowered head, Daren.”

  “How was your recent cultivation?” Zuo Mo asked. He glanced at Cang Ze at the side.

  Nan Yue instantly stammered. Her mind distracted with all kinds of news these past days, how could she be in a mood to cultivate?

  Zuo Mo creased his brow and did not blame her. He asked curiously, “What happened?” In his eyes, Nan Yue was a cultivation obsessed person, no, a cultivation obsessed yao. It was really abnormal for her to neglect cultivating.

  Nan Yue instantly felt ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow into. “Daren, it’s the matter of the Genius Alliance … …”

  Nan Yue, Nan Yue, you are too weak, just this minor bit of news, and you cannot cultivate! She was filled with self-blame.

  “Genius Alliance?” Zuo Mo paused. His first response was, what a grandiose name! His second response was, “What is that?”

  What is that … …

  Nan Yue’s tongue tied up and she did not know how to reply. At the side, Cang Ze’s expression was also strange.

  “Daren has not heard of Genius Alliance?” Cang Ze probed.

  “No.” Zuo Mo shook his head. “Very strong? Do they have Sky Yao?”

  Cang Ze swallowed. “They did before. In their history, the Genius Alliance produced … …”

  “Oh.” Zuo Mo realized. “So they had ancestors who were.”

  Cang Ze swallowed the words that reached his mouth, his expression abject.

  Out of caution, Zuo Mo secretly asked Pu Yao, “Have you heard of this Genius Alliance?”

  Pu Yao didn’t even bat an eye and said irritably, “Don’t bother me with these insignificant nobodies.”

  Seemed that this wasn’t a famous faction. Zuo Mo silently judged according to Pu Yao’s response.

  “Have they made trouble for you?” Zuo Mo’s courage grew and his tone was slightly unfriendly.

  “No … …” Nan Yue weakly replied. She hesitated before saying, “They are trying to find trouble with you.”

  “Me?” Zuo Mo pointed at his nose as he asked in shock.

  Nan Yue quietly narrated the cause. Looking at Daren’s attitude, he did not seem to know the Genius Alliance. Her explanation was very detailed. However, how could Daren not know Genius Alliance? How could there be a yao that did not know the Genius Alliance?

  “Understood.” Zuo Mo nodded and smacked his lips. With a dismissive face, he made his final conclusion. “They don’t have the skills, and dislike people that earn more than they do!”

  Seeing Nan Yue’s face was still worried, he waved his hand and said, “Why care about them? A deranged group! Putting so much effort into prison-breaking, there isn’t any money there.. Full of it and have nothing better to do.”

  Nan Yue and Cang Ze’s expressions were strange. At this time, they could not find the words to describe their current mood.

  Daren was really deep and profound!

  “Hee hee! It really is full of it and they have nothing better to do!” A sweet voice passed over. A shapely body appeared in everyone’s field of view. The tight evening dress highlighted her curvaceous body, the full and soft chest almost bursting out, the hair styled in a high up-do and revealing the snowy-white neck. A faintly discernable smile on the face, was highly seductive. There was a small mole at the corner of her red and moist lips that added a hint of enchantment.

  Cang Ze and Nan Yue were dazed.

  This female yao was like a burning flame that could melt people’s bones.

  This restless feeling … … was a bit familiar … …

  Zuo Mo was dazed for a moment and then was furious. She dared to use illusions!

  The tragic memory that the paper crane female had left on him back on Wu Kong Mountain surfaced in his mind. Ge hates illusory techniques the most!

  The furious Zuo Mo did not hesitate to give a powerful counterattack.

  His hands secretly made a move, [Little Thousand Leaf Art—Bone-Crushing Obscuring Flash]!

  A invisible wind spread in ripples.

  The female yao seemed to be heavy struck. Her body shook, and her face paled as she gave a delicate cry of pain. Her expression was pained, her brow slightly creased, her eyes unfocused. On the slightly bent body, the snowy white mounds on her chest moved. Even the delicate cry was seductive and caused people’s hearts to heat up.

  Cang Ze’s breathing suddenly became heavy as his eyes turned red. Nan Yue also felt her body was unusually heated. She felt the female in front of her was overbearingly beautiful.

  Such a powerful illusory technique!

  Still not giving up?

  Zuo Mo glared and his anger increased. His hand gave three [Bone-Crushing Obscuring Wind]! [Bone-Crushing Obscuring Wind] was the ninth move of Little Thousand Leaf Hands. After the encounter at Hundred Flower Alliance, Zuo Mo had relentlessly urged Pu Yao to teach him a move of Little Thousand Leaf Hands that specialized in breaking illusory techniques.

  He hadn’t thought he would encounter such a powerful illusory technique the first time he used it!

  Three bursts of wind hit the female yao at the same time. The female yao’s eyes suddenly straightened as though she was struck by lightning. Her hairdo exploded. As her locks fell down, a stream of blood came from the corner of her mouth.

  “You … …”

  The hate filled and piercing voice suddenly stopped. The light flashed on her body and she disappeared. She had been pushed out of the Wasteland Beast Chessboard by Zuo Mo’s fourth [Bone-Crushing Obscuring Wind].

  Zuo Mo finally released a breath. Turning his face, he saw Cang Ze and Nan Yue look dumbly at him, and warned them gravely, “This female’s illusory technique is very powerful! You have to be very careful! Do not fall for it!”

  Illusory technique … …

  Nan Yue and Cang Ze looked at each other in confusion. They still did not know what had happened. Where had there been an illusory art?

  Had there really been a powerful illusory art?

  Cang Ze’s heart was filled with regret. It was the first time he had seen such a seductive being! Such a pity. But why would she cast an illusory art?

  Even though he was filled with regret, Cang Ze finally calmed down and felt that Zuo Mo was even more powerful. It definitely was a very powerful illusory art if he hadn’t detected it at all. Daren’s strength was, as expected, immeasurable!

  He suddenly rejoiced slightly that the council of elders had made a correct decision.

  “Daren!” he said with unusual respect.

  “Un-huh.” Zuo Mo was still immersed in the satisfaction from defeating the illusory technique with the [Bone-Crushing Obscuring Wind]. Zuo Mo knew some of the Little Thousand Leaf Hands. At the beginning, Pu Yao had taught him five moves, and then periodically taught a few more here and there. However, Zuo Mo always felt that the effect of Little Thousand Leaf Hands was average, even less than the [Sky Glass Wave] and was far cry from the Great Day mo physique.

  However this time, he experienced the exquisiteness of Little Thousand Leaf Hands. If he was familiar with the move, he would have defeated the other’s illusory technique with one [Bone-crushing Obscuring Wind]. Would he have needed to cast it four times? Zuo Mo finally recalled that the Great and Little Thousand Leaf Hands were created by a Sky Yao, and naturally was extraordinary.

  Hmph, just a half-learned illusory technique and dare to show off in front of ge, they don’t want to live.

  If she knew ge’s glorious battles in illusory formations, she definitely wouldn’t dare. Before ge learned [Bone-crushing Obscuring Wind], ge still defeated the illusory technique of the Hundred Flower Alliance.

  Zuo Mo felt very proud. The only grudge he had left was the pa
per crane girl. If he encountered the paper crane girl now, he would definitely pin her down on the ground and then beat her until her head swelled like a pig’s head, get a batch of jingshi off her, and then use a similar illusory technique on her before letting her go.

  “Daren.” Cang Ze did not discover that Zuo Mo was still in his fantasy and said with the utmost respect. “The clan has agreed to give Daren ten Golden Souls annually as tribute!”

  “Good!” Zuo Mo refocused and was overjoyed. He hurriedly asked. “When will you give the Golden Souls to me?”

  Cang Ze suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to have met a conman. Daren wasn’t a conman, right? He muttered inside but did not show any of it on his face. He carefully reminded, “Daren, do you remember, the [Grey Scar Art]?”

  “Oh, right, wait a moment.” Zuo Mo hurriedly found Pu Yao.

  Pu Yao’s eye at this moment was like a hungry wolf that gleamed eerily. He stared at Zuo Mo for a while without a word.

  Zuo Mo’s hair rose under his gaze. He muttered inside, was Pu Yao also going to cast an illusory technique?

  Pu Yao stared at Zuo Mo for a while before shaking his head and saying to himself, “Black-hearted, really black-hearted!”

  Speaking of this, Zuo Mo’s spine instantly became straight. He instantly said, full of disdain, “Getting the benefit and you still complain. If you feel it’s black, take one less Golden Soul!”

  Pu Yao’s mouth was instantly tightly closed.

  “Right, the more we make, the more we can divide.” Zuo Mo had an expression like he was teaching a child. He reached out. “Give it.”

  “What?” Pu Yao instinctively asked.

  “Grey Scar Art. Don’t you want the Golden Souls?”

  “Oh.” Pu Yao instinctively threw a ball of light at Zuo Mo.

  “And give me that [South Sky Arrow Art] along with it so I don’t have to run over again.”

  “Oh.” Another ball of light.

  Zuo Mo contentedly left the sea of consciousness before Pu Yao could react.

  You antique from thousands of years ago, how can you fight with ge? Don’t you know that ge is the sun at eight or nine? The present is ge’s, the future is ge’s, all of it is ge’s!

  Before the satisfied Zuo Mo could make the transaction, a cold voice interrupted. “You are the master of the Wasteland Beast Chessboard.

  A male yao covered in blue marks stared coldly at Zuo Mo.

  The master of the Wasteland Beast Chessboard?

  Zuo Mo rolled his eyes but did not answer him. He asked Cang Ze. “When will we carry out the transaction?”

  The blue yao swept Cang Ze and said neutrally, “The Grey Clan is very daring to dare be enemies against our Genius Alliance!”

  Cang Ze’s pupils suddenly shrunk. “Genius Alliance? Sire, who are you?”

  “Qinghua Zang Shui,” the blue yao said faintly.

  Cang Ze’s body shook and a layer of fine sweat began to cover his forehead.

  His business disturbed, Zuo Mo instantly became discontent. He flipped his hand, and a little stool appeared. He shoved it in front of the blue yao. “Hold this.”

  “En?” Qinghua Zang Shui looked with puzzlement at the stool made from yao arts. His gaze flashed. It was very rough and simple. Was he planning to compete in yao arts?

  Zuo Mo pointed. “There, take the stool. Go to the corner and draw circles.”

  Qinghua Zang Shui’s indigo face instantly became red. In an instant, his mind turned blank.

  Humiliated, he had actually been humiliated!

  Chapter 368: Battle of Tongues

  As the exceptional successor of the young generation of the Blue Flower Family, Qinghua Zang Shui had an talent unrivalled within the clan. Cloud Ridge Blue Flower had been a famed and influential clan that flourished for thousands of years and never declined. Each generation had outstanding descendants. If they went back a few hundred years, the Blue Flower Clan had occupied a seat on the Council of Elders that oversaw the entire yao world.

  The present Blue Flower did not have the status of its past, but it was still a large sect that was firmly established and admired. Compared to them, the Grey Clan was just a wild, little clan from some backwater mountain, so when Cang Ze heard the other’s name, he instantly became silent.

  Usually, just based on the words “Cloud Ridge Blue Flower,” Qinghua Zang Shui could charge recklessly anywhere. When had he ever been humiliated so?

  When had the Blue Flower Family ever been humiliated like this?

  Qinghua Zang Shui was so ashamed that he could die. A burst of hot blood rushed into his head. His eyes glaring, he pointed at Zuo Mo and gritted, “Those that humiliate my Blue Flower Family shall die!”

  Zuo Mo rolled his eyes. “Are you mental? Am I humiliating your Blue Flower Family?”

  “So- you … …” The anger in Qinghua Zang Shui’s chest calmed slightly before he was interrupted by Zuo Mo.

  “Who I am humiliating is you.” Zuo Mo looked at Qinghua Zang Shui like he was looking at an idiot and said mockingly, “Just a person like you, you aren’t ashamed to be called a genius? Don’t come out to frighten people? Oh, you definitely want to kill me right now, I know this. So, people like you only have this little bit of patience, only this bit of breadth of chest! Compete with me?” He suddenly increased his volume. “What qualifications do you have to compete with me? Does the Blue Flower Family have more face than other people? You who eats soft rice, go and break the prison. Don’t bother me before you break the prison. Ge is very busy, understand?”

  Qinghua Zang Shui’s face flushed turned black and then white. His entire figure wavered unsteadily.

  Puh!

  Qinghua Zang Shui’s blurred figure suddenly exploded into a ball of light and disappeared.

  Zuo Mo shook his head and sighed. “He is mentally weak, his mind is really low in quality!”

  Turning around his face, he looked at the gaping Nan Yue and Cang Ze. He said, “Ooh, let’s continue.”

  ———

  “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

  A shriek filled with fury came from the room. Ji Cheng stopped in his steps and then forced himself to push open the door. Pia! An extremely fine crystal decoration smashed loudly beside his feet into countless pieces.

  Ji Cheng did not dare to block the shrapnel and allowed the crystal shards to hit his body. He wore a smile as he said in a fawning tone, “Sis, what is the matter? Who made you so angry? I’ll go beat him up! Grind his bones into powder, skin him and pluck out his tendons … …”

  His voice suddenly stopped. Ji Li Yu stared fiercely at him.

  Woah!

  Old Sis’s angry face was filled with killing intent. In that pair of eyes that enchanted countless male yao was burning fire!

  Heavens! Ji Cheng felt his scalp tighten. He had never seen Old Sis so angry ever. He didn’t know which pitiful person had infuriated Old Sis. So pitiful!

  In her anger, Old Sis did not recognize anyone. Ji Cheng was filled with regret. Why had he been so dumb to stare down the barrel of this gun.

  Ji Cheng knew the time to show his loyalty had come. He pretended to be angry and said, “Sis, don’t be so anxious! I’ll go send for people! They dare to provoke my sis, they must not want to live!”

  Ji Li Yu stared at Ji Cheng for a while, which caused Ji Cheng’s hairs to stand up.

  “Alright! Don’t act in front of me!” Ji Li Yu snorted coldly and sat down. There was still anger on her face, but she finally calmed down. She propped up her chin, and it was unknown if she was in a daze or considering something.

  Ji Cheng released a deep sigh inside. The most dangerous moment had past. However he knew that if he left at this time, he would definitely receive retribution. He carefully and curiously went forward. “What happened?”

  Which saint had caused Old Sis to be so furious? That skill wasn’t just high! Ji Cheng was full of admiration towards this unknown expert to the point of kowtowing to his or her skills. Of course, he d
idn’t dare to show any of it on his face.

  “My [Charm Clothing] was defeated.” Ji Li Yu said lightly.

  “Ah!” Ji Cheng was stunned. He was sincerely concerned now. “Are you wounded?”

  “No.”

  Ji Cheng released a breath but still wasn’t able to believe it. “How is it possible? How can [Charm Clothing] be defeated?”

  The Ji Family’s [Sky Clothing] was full of transformations and was one of the few remaining earth level yao arts in the yao world. Many of the parts had been previously lost. Afterwards, the Ji Family had founded the Sky Clothing Yao Art House. Under accumulation of research and study over years, they finally recovered the original appearance. There were nine transformations of the Sky Clothing, [Charm Clothing] was one of them.

  But compared to the [Emperor Clothing] and [Domination Clothing] of the Ji Family, those that knew the [Charm Clothing] were the least common. Of the generations of Ji Family disciples, there were rarely those who cultivated the [Charm Clothing]. The conditions to cultivate [Charm Clothing] were extremely strict. It demanded that the one cultivating it was naturally beautiful with a flawless consciousness; but the most important part was that their heart had to be as clean as jade and untainted. The purer the heart, the stronger the power was in their hands.

  Even in the Ji Family, it was one of the most tightly guarded secrets that Ji Li Yu had successfully cultivated [Charm Clothing]. There were less than five people who knew. The most powerful quality of the [Charm Clothing] was that it was intangible and invisible as it affected others. It was one of the best illusory arts.

  Using the power of the [Charm Clothing], Ji Li Yu lived a really a good life. Ever since she was little, she was someone who had always been liked by all. After entering the yao art house, she became blinding and dazzling, she was the dream lover of countless young and accomplished yao. The second year she entered the yao art house, she entered the Genius Alliance and received attention from the leader of the Genius Alliance, Ming Yue Ye. The third year, she entered the Genius Alliance council of elders and became the youngest elder in the Alliance’s history. After becoming the youngest elder of the Genius Alliance, she was appointed by Ming Yue Ye as the Relations Minister of the Genius Alliance and was specifically in charge of recruiting talent.
