Chapter Four Hundred and Three – Collision! (2/2)
“This matter will not end like this. Gaining the aid of a daren that can cause the Stars in Daytime is worth any price. This, we understand, the daren of the Council of Elders understand, but the xiuzhe also understand.” The clan elder was very clam. “Since all clues now point to Wu Kong Sword Sect, then we have a direction.”
Mu Xi was slightly puzzled. In her view, they should not enter into the conflict over the matter.
Almost as though he saw Mu Xi’s puzzlement, the clan leader said with a smile, “Our Palace Lake Wood Clan has some power, including influence in the territory of xiuzhe. However, the Council of Elders is probably also investigating in secret.”
“Then aren’t we wasting our efforts?” Mu Xi asked.
“Ha ha. It seems that we are wasting our efforts,” the clan leader chucked, and a sharp light flashed through his eyes, “but what if this daren is an elder that survived from the Thousand Year Battle?”
Mu Xi first froze and then she unhesitatingly shook her head. “That is impossible!”
“Why is it impossible?” The clan leader’s eyes narrowed. “I feel this is the most likely possibility! Otherwise, why did this daren appear in the territory of xiuzhe? A daren that could cause Stars of Daytime, it wouldn’t be strange for them to have some life-saving secret technique. Also, this relates to a secret that not many people know.”
“What secret?” Mu Xi unconsciously asked. But when the words came out, she regretted it. It was almost not appropriate for her to ask this.
Just as she was feeling insecure, the clan leader did not conceal and said, “In that great war, everyone knows that we yaomo lost but there are only a few that know some elders were captured! They were imprisoned in the Yao Subduing Tower. If I haven’t guessed wrong, this unknown daren most likely escaped from the Yao Subduing Tower.”
Mu Xi gaped and stared with wide eyes as she listened to the story.
Seeing Mu Xi’s expression, the clan leader smiled warmly. “Don’t find it strange. If this daren really escaped from the Yao Subduing Tower, then they are definitely worth our Palace Lake Wood Clan investing all our power.”
He did not explain more. There were some things that Mu Xi would understand only when she reached a certain age.

“Heavy Earth Corps?” Zuo Mo felt puzzled. However, when he saw the attitudes of the surrounding four people, his face instantly darkened.
“The draft notice has already been delivered to Sir’s follower, Nan Yue. Please report to the base of Heavy Earth Corps within ten days,” one of the people stared at Zuo Mo and said in a deep voice. He did not know who he had offended, but for him, this order held no influence.
“I have not heard of any Heavy Earth Corps and don’t have any interest!” Zuo Mo’s expression was icy.
Even though he did not understand why the other had come to find him, but in his view, the other’s attitude was enough to indicate a problem. Surrounded by four people, he was not afraid.
“You wish to resist a military order?” This person’s expression darkened and his gaze became vicious.
The other three people also had vicious glares as their bodies moved forward. A murderous energy instantly locked onto Zuo Mo. Even though they had heard that Zuo Mo had reconstructed the Wasteland Beast Chessboard, but in the eyes of this military combat yao, that wasn’t anything. Those genius that boasted so much were like bubbles that popped on impact, once they were placed on the battlefield.
The leading combat yao smirked. His gaze when he looked at Zuo Mo was like he was looking at a lamb waiting for slaughter. He did not object to giving the other a lesson in the Ten Finger Prison. Which one of those proud young masters didn’t obey under his hands?
Zuo Mo’s eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed through them. His upper body waved lightly like that of a clock pendulum.
The pupils of the leading combat yao suddenly shrank. In his field of vision, the Zuo Mo seemed to disappear! What shocked him even more was the other’s decisiveness. Attacking proactively without a word!
He was both shocked and angry. He bellowed, “You dare … …”
The movement of his hands were even faster than his angry shout. After long years oftraining, it was instinct to react once encountering danger. A ball of dirt yellow light lit up in his hand and a shell of dirt yellow light appeared around him.
This was one of the most widely used military intermediate yao arts of the Heavy Earth Corps—[Earth Defence Art]. Proven through combat, it had outstanding defensive capabilities.
Being able to enter the third prison, his power was not weak. As one of the top combat yao in the military corp, he had absolute confidence in his power. Even more, he also had three powerful fellows with him.
Four against one, it made him feel as though he was using a sword to kill a chicken.
Ping!
A clear shattering sound caused his bellow to suddenly stop. A golden fist rapidly grew larger in his eyes!
How was this possible!
His expression froze. The earth defense art that he had always relied on was so easily broken by the other?
A military intermediate yao art at his full power … …
Was … …was … … smashed to bits by one punch … …
Time seemed to suddenly slow at this moment. The other’s fist grew larger and large in his eyes. Everything was so clear. He was even able to see the complex patterns that densely covered the golden armor on the other’s fist.
The terror was like a ferocious beast that escaped and rampaged in his body.
