Chapter Three Hundred and Seven – Bright Water City

Zuo Mo sat on top of a rock at the top of the mountain. The moon was shining above his head, and A Gui was sitting silently beside him.

Gongsun Cha found Zuo Mo. Seeing him, he could only smile.

“What are you smiling about?” Zuo Mo said irritably, and then asked, “Where’s Cheng Shidi?”

“He’s still experimenting with his ling beasts. According to him, he’s at a critical time period.” Gongsun Cha found a rock beside Zuo Mo and sat down. He stretched lazily. “I can finally rest. In Little Mountain Jie, I didn’t have one night of peaceful rest.”

“I had thought that a battle maniac like you wouldn’t need to rest.” Zuo Mo glanced at him and mocked.

“Oh, that’s because I was just starting.” Gongsun Cha gave a shy smile. Zuo Mo acted as though he was going to puke.

“Why are you letting them leave?” Gongsun Cha’s tone became serious.

Zuo Mo rolled his eyes. “I can’t support them. Do you know how great the pressure it is to feed all these people? Oh, in Little Mountain Jie, we can steal resources, but that doesn’t work anywhere else. Those not in charge of the household, do not know how expensive food is. To say of nothing else, you know how much Vermillion Bird Camp uses every day. In any case, we have all fought together, it’s better to have a good farewell.”

Gongsun Cha was the one that knew the most about the expenses of Vermillion Bird Camp. It definitely was not realistic to keep everyone.

Sky Water Jie was much more wealthy and prosperous than Little Mountain Jie, but its territories had already been divided up. If they wanted to insert themselves, they would have to act against other factions. Gongsun Cha did not fear fighting, but this way, they would easily become the common enemy of the entire Sky Water Jie. That would not be good.

“A lot of people would probably go.” Gongsun Cha smacked his lips as he said, “People’s hearts have started to change as they arrived in Sky Water Jie.”

“This is also good,” Zuo Mo said.

The two became silent.

After a while, Gongsun Cha looked at Zuo Mo, and then at A Gui who was sitting woodenly. He asked, “Where do we go next? En, don’t say something like it’s dangerous, and you will go alone.”

Zuo Mo’s heart warmed and said, “I need to find Water Cloud Embryo.”

“Water Cloud Embryo?” Gongsun Cha looked at A Gui. “For A Gui?”

“En!” Zuo Mo nodded, “I don’t know what connection I have with A Gui, but since she became like this to save me, I cannot just sit back and do nothing.”

“That’s for sure.” Gongsun Cha had an expression of agreement and then raised his arms, shouting exuberantly, “For A Gui! We will find Cloud Water Embryo!”

Zuo Mo was very moved and a smile appeared on his face.

“Hee he, the best is if we can encounter more fighting! It makes me excited just thinking about it!” Gongsun Cha said calmly.

As expected from a battle maniac … …

“Oh, where are we going to find Water Cloud Embryo? Can we buy it?” Gongsun Cha asked.

“Don’t know.” Zuo Mo shook his head. He looked at A Gui and said, “We have to investigate.”

His heart suddenly moved and took out the sound tablet from his ring. Gongsun Cha’s gaze was attracted and he was very shocked. “Shixiong has kept this with you! It’s been so long since I listened to it!”

‘Yes, it’s been a long time since we listened.” Zuo Mo channeled ling power into the sound tablet.

The calm voice floated out from the sound tablet and was unspeakably intimate.

Under the moonlight, Zuo Mo and Gongsun Cha idly listened to the sound tablet, A Gui sitting silently beside them.

The morning of the next day.

Yesterday night was fated to be a difficult one for many people. The eyes of many people were bloodshot, some of them had heavy expressions. The number of people in the camp had been dramatically reduced.

Gongsun Cha’s expression was very relaxed. No one from Vermillion Bird Camp had left. The people that left were mostly from the Eastern and Western Camps. Of more than two thousand people, less than eight hundred remained.

“I can fill Vermillion Bird Camp now,” Gongsun Cha said with a smile.

Vermillion Bird Camp did not leave and Guard Camp did not leave. The departure of the majority of the Eastern and Western Camp was not out of Zuo Mo’s expectations. What surprised him was the forging division. None of the xiuzhe from the forging division had left.

Zuo Mo looked at the pairs of eyes below him and was very moved.

He opened his mouth, but when the words reached his lips, he didn’t know what to say.

“What are you all standing here for? Go back to work!”

Zuo Mo’s shout made everyone roar with laughter. The sorrow due the departures had dissipated greatly.

Rong Wei saw this scene and her heart shook. She increasingly felt that she could not clearly understand the Master of Golden Crow City. Yesterday, she had been very shocked when she heard the Master of Golden Crow City was letting people leave. How could there be someone that would willing weaken themselves?

But today, when she saw the determined looks of the xiuzhe from Golden Crow City, she seemed to understand.

This troop in front of her was more unified and had stronger morale than the previous group. Even if they encountered greater dangers, they wouldn’t easily break up!

The Master of Golden Crow City appeared to have weakened his power, but in reality, his primary strength had not been damaged, the organization had become purer, and the average strength had actually went up a level, and had gained strong abilities of survival!

Looking at that outrageously young face, Rong Wei felt it was almost impossible to believe. At a glance, Zuo Mo did not have any outstanding qualities. But the actions this youth took frequently displayed a maturity that surpassed his age.

She suddenly realized that even if the Master of Golden Crow City did not have that mysterious and powerful sect behind him, he would not be one of the masses with his abilities.
