Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy One – Bounty (2/2)

Zuo Mo’s mood was vicious and murderous as he entered the Wasteland Beast Chessboard again!

The scenery in front of him changed as he re-entered the Wasteland Beast chessboard. When he saw the surroundings clearly, his heart was reassured. Good. The position when he entered the Wasteland Beast Chessboard each time was different. This was very advantageous for him. At the least, if he couldn’t win, he could run!

With a trick up his sleeve, Zuo Mo wasn’t panicked anymore.

He started to think about the influence this incident would have on him. He had had a very casual attitude about what had happened before, and did not treat the incident seriously. Now that the situation was different, his demands were also different.

The incident of One Mole seemed to be pretty big. After experiencing so much, Zuo Mo was clear that making a big fuss had its own advantages, like becoming famous faster. When he had successfully completed the prison-breaking battle, people had come to recruit him.

What he needed was information on the Battle of Sealed Extinction. Truthfully, Zuo Mo had no hopes that this would be easy. This was something that even Pu Yao was not clear about. It was a question even if the yao world still had information on the topic. Even if there was information on it, it definitely would not be so easy to access.

Nan Yue was a normal little yao. The Wisteria Clan of the South Sky had been in decline for too long. Cang Ze’s situation was better than Nan Yue but that was just by a little bit. Zuo Mo had a feeling that investigating the Battle of Sealed Extinction was probably not an easy task. If he needed to use large amounts of resources, it would not be possible to realize it with the two of them.

The spiritual imprint on his arm shifted. Nan Yue and Cang Ze had come.

Zuo Mo put a thought and passed it through the spiritual imprint on his arm. Moments later, the two arrived.

“Daren!” The two hurriedly bowed.

“Hmph, is there a quiet place?” Zuo Mo really felt that there were too many people around.

Cang Ze was the first to react and hurriedly said, “Daren only needs to put down an illusory formation.”

Zuo Mo wanted to facepalm. He was so dumb, unable to even think of such a simple solution. It really was an easy matter for him to put down an illusory formation. His right hand rose slightly. A light energy left his hand and landed on the ground. A thin circular curtain of light rose around them and surrounded them.

Cang Ze knew when things were good. Daren’s formation building methods were very powerful. His admiration rose. Daren was not old but he seemed to be able to do anything, and was skilled in all of them.

Nan Yue’s thoughts were much simpler. She looked curiously at the curtain of light. “Daren, what illusory formation is this?”

“Little Coverup, a variant of a water yao art. Water can create illusions, refract light, and is very suitable for setting up illusory formations.” Zuo Mo explained as they moved inside the curtain.

Cang Ze looked with admiration at Nan Yue. Nan Yue and Daren’s relationship was clearly unordinary. It seemed that Nan Yue was Daren’s follower. If she was his student, she would not call him daren, and would call him teacher. Daren still treated Nan Yue as though she was a student, and did not seem like he was interacting with a follower.

It was rare to see a daren that were like this!

Nan Yue was very fortunate!

After Zuo Mo finished his pointer, he asked, “What is Ji Li Yu’s background?”

Nan Yue and Cang Ze’s expressions were slightly strange. Daren, you finally thought of asking about this now?

Cang Ze knew that Nan Yue definitely did not know as many details as he did and said proactively, “Daren, Ji Li Yu is the woman you threw out last time.”

“En, I know.” Zuo Mo said expressionlessly.

“She is the eldest granddaughter of the Ji Family Leader, and is loved by all the elders in the sect. She was very outstanding from youth, and it really was that everyone who saw her was in love with her. The second year after entering the yao art house, she and her younger brother, Ji Cheng, were invited into the Genius Alliance at the same time. Her rise inside the Genius Alliance is much faster than Ji Cheng. She quickly entered the council of elders and is the youngest elder on the council of the Genius Alliance.”

“Genius Alliance again?” Zuo Mo’s brow furrowed slightly. “Continue.”

“Ji Li Yu might not be the next successor to the Ji Family, but she is the most famous yao of the Ji Family. Even the Ji Clan Elder is not as well-known as she is. Ji Li Yu might come from the Ji Family but she is not interested in cultivating yao arts, and studies dancing, singing, and the instruments. She is especially skilled in singing. The sound is enchanting and well-liked by the public.”

“She has many defenders.” Cang Ze paused, and then emphasized, “Many.”

After listening to Cang Ze’s introduction, Zuo Mo instantly felt it was problematic to have offended such a powerful person.

However, Zuo Mo just felt it was troublesome. His attention was still primarily on the Battle of Sealed Extinction.

“Have you heard of the Battle of Sealed Extinction?” Zuo Mo suddenly asked.

“Battle of Sealed Extinction, what is that?” Nan Yu asked curiously.

Cang Ze shook his head. “No.”

Just as Zuo Mo had thought. He mused and then said, “I need to research some information about an ancient battle, do you have any suggestions?”

“Will the records room of our yao art house have it?” Nan Yue said.

Cang Ze said, “If the information Daren is searching for is very rare and obscure, there are some places to try.”

Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up. “Speak.”

“The first is the yao art house that Nan Yue just mentioned. Each yao art house has records rooms, and the scale of the records rooms of those large yao art houses are extremely astonishing, and have complete information in all areas. The second is some special little circles. Each profession will have their own little circles. They would have information exchanges at regular intervals. The third is the simplest, a bounty.”

“Bounty?” Zuo Mo’s eyes gradually became bright.

Translator Ramblings: This chapter might feel shorter but it is normal length. Zuo Mo has now had a shift in attitude. Before, he was playing around, and now he has to actually be serious. He essentially angered a pop-star who is also strong and respected by the “junior government” of the yao world which the Genius Alliance seems to be.
