World of Cultivation - Volume 06 - All Hail Our King

by Fang Xiang

  Zuo Mo was startled and then he reacted after a moment. He said cautiously, "After finding them, I planned to leave Great Peace City."

  "Leave Great Peace City?" Princess Xia stilled slightly and a hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes. She quickly recovered and said with a smile, "So you have come especially for them."

  "Yes." Zuo Mo nodded.

  "I really don't want to give them to you," Princess Xia said with a light laugh. "It is not very easy to find a good person to drinking with."

  But when she saw Zuo Mo's nervous expression, she burst into laugher and said to herself, "It is rare that I am kind, I have to maintain this. Don't worry, don't worry, I will give them to you."

  Finishing, she turned and gave orders in a low tone. The middle aged attendant in the corner glanced at Zuo Mo. She did not seem to move but moments later, a servant came in with two other female attendants.

  Xiao Guo! Li Ying Feng!

  Zuo Mo's eyes suddenly widened. It was hard to control his expression of joy but he suppressed it and did not call out to the two of them."

  "Here, from today onwards, they belong to you," Princess Xia said to Zuo Mo with a smile.

  Zuo Mo hadn't expected that the matter would proceed so smoothly. Looking at Princess Xia, he gravely bowed. "If Princess thinks of something you need, please request it as long as I have not left Great Peace City!"

  Xiao Guo's eyes suddenly widened and became disbelieving. Li Ying Feng looked at Zuo Mo anxiously.

  "Then you will owe me for now." Princess Xia's beautiful eyes stared at Zuo Mo as she said with as smile, "I like it best when people owe me. When I think of something, you cannot fail to uphold your word."

  "Never!" Zuo Mo said seriously.

  "Take your friends and leave, they had significant hardship on the road," Princess Xia said with a light laugh.

  Zuo Mo also desired to return. He raised his folded hands to Princess Xia. "Farewell!"

  He stood with one hand pulling Xiao Guo and the other pulling Li Ying Feng as he prepared to rise into the air.

  Suddenly a bright voice sounded in the sky.

  "Where is Xiao Mo Ge? Nanmen Xue asks for a fight!"

  Princess Xia looked at Zuo Mo's frozen expression. Her hand covered her mouth as she laughed, "This is not my fault!"

  A hint of joy flashed imperceptibly through her eyes.

  Translator Ramblings:

  Zuo Mo: That was easier than expected!

  Three seconds again

  Zuo Mo: Not again!

  I think what Fang Xiang tried to do is showcase the way that the races are different. With the xiuzhe, it’s focused on sects, contribution points, your own skill set. With the yao, it is the education system, the interchange of information and with the mo, what he’s trying to so is how warlike they are. There’s more to the mo, but at this time, fighting.

  Also, we are officially 2/3 of the way through the chapters. Thank you for all your comments and likes. It would be much harder doing this without any support.

  Chapter 611: Ambush

  Who was Nanmen Xue?

  Of course, Zuo Mo knew, the person ranked third on the Great Peace Mo Rankings. After the battle with Shen Yu, Zuo Mo's ranking had shot up. And in a flash, he went from the bottom of the ranking to the seventh rank.

  But why would the other challenge him?

  This shouldn't be happening!

  If the third ranked challenged the seventh ranked, the victory would not be fair and there were no benefits to winning.

  Zuo Mo found it bewildering. He walked into the yard and raised his head to see Nanmen Xue with his black robes flapping in the wind.

  "You are not going to accept the challenge?" Princess Xia suddenly crowded over. The beautiful face was mischievous.

  "This person's mind is faulty." Zuo Mo stared at Nanmen Xue in the air as he muttered, "I did not offend him … … so strange!" He thought and then shook his head, "I won't accept."

  "Why do you not accept?" A hint of confusion flashed through Princess Xia's eyes. "If you do not accept, your reputation will drop. People in Great Peace City that do not accept challenges will be laughed at."

  "I can't win." Zuo Mo threw up his hands with a helpless expression.

  Princess Xia was stunned. It was the first time she had met someone who would admit their weakness in front of her. The other men would try to show off their strength in front of her, show off their wealth, show off all kinds of qualities, each of them like peacocks with their tail feathers spread out.

  There was someone who actually admitted in front of her that he could not win … …

  "Then … …" After a long while, Princess Xia did not know what to say.

  "Let him cool himself up there, the wind is pretty strong." Zuo Mo shook his head and moved his gaze away. He prepared to take Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng to leave.

  Princess Xia couldn't help but laugh at these words. The person in front of her didn't have any of his previous seriousness and was like a little hoodlum. Princess Xia's eyes moved as she said, "What if he were to pursue you outside the city?"

  Zuo Mo turned around and said with a serious expression, "Actually, I never told you before, but what I am most skilled at is fighting using many against few."

  "Fighting with many against few… …" After repeating it once, Princess Xia finally reacted. Her body trembled as she laughed. Pointing at Zuo Mo's nose, she said, "You are a rascal!"

  Zuo Mo's eyes accidentally saw the motions at Princess Xia's bosom. It was like he was struck with lightning and he froze immediately where he stood.

  Illusory spell … … it came again … … was this kind of illusory spell something that was automatically cast?

  Princess Xia was a perceptive person and immediately noticed Zuo Mo's state. She was not bashful, and she blinked her eyes at Zuo Mo as she covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

  "Hem!" Zuo Mo awkwardly coughed and then said, "Is there a back door? One that I can sneak out of."

  Seeing Zuo Mo act like this, Princess Xia felt like laughing. She summoned a servant and said a few words before she said to Zuo Mo, "You can follow her."

  "Thank you!" Zuo Mo's words were sincere. He bowed to Princess Xia. Princess Xia was completely different compared to what Pu Yao and Wei had spoken of. He didn't not know how Princess Xia appeared in other people's eyes, but in his eyes, she was a good person. Waving a hand at Princess Xia, he took Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng as he moved away with the servant.

  Watching Zuo Mo's figure disappear, a hint of dispiritedness flashed through Princess Xia's eyes. But it faded in a blink. The smile on her face faded, and her gaze became sharp again. Confidence and ease came back onto her face.

  She suddenly glanced at Nanmen Xue in the air and said faintly, "Force him down, it is an eyesore to look at."

  The middle aged female attendant was about to act when her expression changed. "Someone has come."

  As she finished speaking, a strange demonic sound seemed to burrow out of the deep of the earth. A man dressed in snowy white robes appeared near Nanmen Xue. The crowd that was watching, shifted.

  Qi Diao Yu.

  Nanmen Xue's gaze slowly became cold. "Qi Diao Yu!"

  "I have come to challenge you." Qi Diao Yu's indifferent voice immediately caused a furor.

  The sudden appearance of Qi Diao Yu at this time attracted speculations from many people—was he helping out Xiao Mo Ge?

  With an icy expression, Nanmen Xue suddenly smiled, "As I expected … …"

  Even though the other did not say what was expected, Qi Diao Yu's expression suddenly changed. Not good, he had fallen for a trap! His body suddenly flashed.

  Almost at the same time, Nanmen Xue appeared in front and blocked his path.

  Nanmen Xue smiled, showing his teeth. "Since Brother Qi wants to challenge me, then let's have a good fight."

  The two top experts were at a standoff and the fight could be set off by anything!

  ———

>   Zuo Mo snuck out the back door after following the servant. In order to disguise himself, Zuo Mo put on a little illusory art on his face. He felt grateful to Qi Diao Yu who had appeared. This was a good person!

  Just after coming out of the door, he heard Xiao Guo who was under his arm say in a trembling voice, "Shixiong, is it you?"

  Zuo Mo stopped walking and lightly rubbed Xiao Guo's head with his hand. "Xiao Guo is really smart."

  Xiao Guo couldn't hold it back any longer and started to cry as she hugged Zuo Mo. Like a child, she hugged Zuo Mo tightly, tears and snot flowing down.

  Zuo Mo sighed inside as he lightly patted Xiao Guo. Li Ying Feng also reacted at this time, and there was a disbelieving joy on her face. "Zuo Shixiong, are you really Zuo Shixiong?"

  Zuo Mo said with a smile, "Li Shijie, I'm still used to you calling me Zuo Shidi."

  Li Ying Feng also could not hold it back and cried from joy.

  Zuo Mo did not know how to comfort them and could only pat the two of them lightly.

  There were not many people on the streets, as all of them were focused on the faceoff between Qi Diao Yu and Nanmen Xue in the air.

  Zuo Mo abruptly stopped walking and said lightly, "An enemy is present." He warily scanned the surroundings as he slowly put Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng down. Hearing this, the two immediately stopped crying.

  The scenery around him suddenly twisted. The trees on the road seemed to be kneaded into a ball by an invisible hand.

  In a flash, the surroundings around the three of them were completely transformed.

  Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng had ashen faces. However, they did not make a sound in fear they would disturb Zuo Mo.

  Domain!

  Zuo Mo's gaze suddenly became icy. This was an ambush that had been planned. By the time he had detected that something was wrong, he had already fallen for the enemy's trap.

  They had actually sent an expert that comprehended Domain to ambush him!

  A golem of mud slowly rose from the ground. His body was covered in wet mud and only the general shape of a person could be seen.

  "Who are you?" Zuo Mo thought of Nanmen Xue who had just challenged him. He felt there was a connection between the two of them. He suddenly said, "So Nanmen Xue has given his allegiance to you people."

  "You are actually smart." The other reflexively responded, but he immediately realized that he had fallen for a trap. He smiled darkly. "Your realization has come too late. If you want someone to blame, blame Qi Diao Yu for being too dumb."

  "Qi Diao Yu?" Shock flashed through Zuo Mo's mind. How was this matter related to Qi Diao Yu? However, no matter how hard he thought, he could not think what connection he had to Qi Diao Yu.

  "Haha, it is useless no matter how much you think about it, submit peacefully." The mud golem smiled darkly.

  Zuo Mo suddenly felt his feet become heavy and his body sank down slowly. At some unknown time, the hard ground under his feet became soft mud like that of a bog.

  There was a strong attraction force that came from within the bog that pulled the bodies of the three of them downwards.

  This was strange!

  The strange presence of corrosiveness were in wisps that burrowed into Zuo Mo's body like insects. Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng's expressions were ashen. Their cultivation was too low and they were fragile in front of a Domain.

  Zuo Mo plucked the two of them from the bog and put them on his back. With his strength, the mass of the two women was negligible.

  But when he did this, his body suddenly sank further.

  The bog reached past his calves. The dark and cold presences were like a group of strange and mad insects that continuously burrowed into his body. But the Sun Crystal Seed in Zuo Mo's body would not tolerate its territory being invaded. It immediately sent out a few streams of fire that swept out, clearing out the dark and cold energies.

  He had the Sun Crystal Seed and he cultivated the Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus. While he could not be invaded by anything evil no matter how Zuo Mo struggled, he could not break free of the force that was pulling him down. Watching as he continued to sink, Zuo Mo could not care for anything else and activated his still incomplete Ten Crow Celestial Domain.

  A dash of red light spread from Zuo Mo's feet. Zuo Mo felt his feet lighten and his body rose up slightly.

  "Oh, I had assumed that you would use the Reversed Stellar Revolution first, not your incomplete Ten Crow Celestial Domain." The mud golem smiled darkly. "The Ten Crow Celestial Domain is powerful, but that is only after you achieve it. It is naïve to think you can stop me with what it is now."

  The bog suddenly spread from under Zuo Mo's feet. In a blink, what Zuo Mo could see was just a bog as vast as the ocean.

  The strong force pulling his feet had multiplied. It was like there was a monster hiding under the bog that was pulling him down. The power was so strong that Zuo Mo almost couldn't raise his arm. In a blink, the mud reached his knees.

  Damn it!

  Zuo Mo had not expected that he wouldn't have any power to fight back!

  His gaze landed on the Reversed Stellar Revolution. His mind shifted and the handful of sparks shot at the mud golem.

  The mud golem laughed and suddenly entered the bog. His body disappeared and the sparks missed.

  "Slightly interesting." The voice came from behind Zuo Mo. The mud golem appeared behind Zuo Mo like a ghost. His tone carried a hint of smugness. "I heard that it was your Reversed Stellar Revolution that defeated the Peacock King Plume? It seems that the Peacock King Plume isn't anything special after all. So disappointing."

  Zuo Mo was silent. The handful of sparks turned into a stream of light and shot behind him.

  Almost at the same time, a mud golem suddenly rose from the bog in front of him.

  "Is this the extent of your abilities?" The mud golem was slightly disappointed. "If this is all you can do, then your life will end here today."

  As he finished speaking, one mud golem after another slowly rose up from the bog.

  In a flash, there were an endless amount of mud golems.

  Translator Ramblings: Fight, no, run.

  Chapter 612: The Mud Golem Mo Visitor

  Why had the other ambushed him?

  This thought flashed through Zuo Mo's mind before disappearing. He closely watched the mud golems that rose from the bog of mud. A strong feeling of danger caused all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

  This person's domain was not as bright and colorful as Shen Yu's Peacock Eyespot Domain but Zuo Mo could feel that the other's domain was more complete than Shen Yu's.

  This person was more experienced than Shen Yu. From the ambush in the beginning, to even this action, they were not slow or rushed, he controlled the pace of battle.

  This was very terrifying!

  Expert! A definite expert!

  The Reversed Stellar Revolution returned to Zuo Mo's hand. The strong power pulling down on his feet constantly disrupted Zuo Mo's focus.

  There was no leverage in the bog. Regardless of how strong Zuo Mo was, he could not use his strength. The mud domain of the ambusher was the perfect counter to Zuo Mo. This was an ambush that had been planned for a long time and the enemy found his weakness.

  After this short contact, he landed in a well-planned net.

  However, how could he admit defeat so easily?

  Waves of heat came from the Reversed Stellar Revolution. The muddy water that flew at him was stopped.

  Every spark in the Reversed Stellar Revolution was formed from sun shen power!

  The other definitely would not have thought of this.

  Zuo Mo smirked coldly and the hand with Reversed Stellar Revolution suddenly pushed into the muddy bog under his feet!

  Boom!

  The bog under his feet trembled violently, followed by a sudden scream so loud, it almost ruptured Zuo Mo's eardrums. Streams of steam rose up, and his vision was shrouded in white.

  The strongest quality of a bog was its flexibility
. This was something given to it by water.

  Water was the greatest bane of fire, but the opposite was also true. If the fire was strong enough, it could subdue water! Zuo Mo's Reversed Stellar Revolution was made from sun shen power and unparalleled in its fire attribute. There had been many tribal heroes that had been turned to ash under the power of the sun shen power!

  When the sparks entered the bog, the domineering fire attribute of sun shen power was completely stimulated.

  In a flash, every spark expanded and turned into a ball of fire. Like a flood of fire, the Reversed Stellar Revolution rampaged under the bog. Everywhere it passed, the moisture in the bog dried up. When the dried soil was passed over by the wave of fire, it melted and turned into beads of glass.

  If one looked down from the sky, they could see that heat wave was spreading rapidly with Zuo Mo at the epicenter. Everywhere it passed, the mud golems seemed to be paralyzed and immediately lost their moisture as they stood.

  The mud golem was stunned and wanted to escape. But the sun shen power was too strong. Before his feet could leave the bog, the sun shen power spread to him.

  The mud golem lost moisture in front of Zuo Mo at a visible rate and turned into a statue.

  Then the statue started to crumble as though it was weathered by sand. The pieces of mud dropped to the ground and smashed into dust. The speed of crumbling increased and it finally could not stand under its own weight and turned into a pile of dust.

  Boom!

  On the dry bog, the numerous mud golems seemed to have received an order and collapsed at the same time.

  The scene was spectacular.

  On Zuo Mo's back, Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng were dumbstruck with wide eyes.

  Zuo Shixiong … … was this powerful … …

  The Reversed Stellar Revolution once again returned to Zuo Mo's hand. Once it back came to him, Zuo Mo found that the color of the Reversed Stellar Revolution was much dimmer than before.

  The scenery around them resumed to normal.

  The streets were normal. Those that were walking nearby didn't even detect that a battle of life and death had occurred here just now.
