Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Six – Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie
“The news that the Ice Frost Corps was almost completely wiped out has been reported back. The Council of Elders have ordered our battalion to travel immediately to the front lines. Daren has sent down the order to clean the surroundings. We needed to sweep this entire area before the situation is stabilized.”
Mu Xi listened carefully and her heart couldn’t help but shake. The female yao in front of her was very tall and was the vice commander of Bing Lan Daren. Her tone was cold and distant which caused it to be unpleasant to hear but Mu Xi did not feel any dissatisfaction. Her heart was actually full of respect. The other said it so plainly, but Mu Xi could imagine the cruelty in this.
Bing Lan Daren’s move seemed idiotic, but it was truly transformative and had gotten rid of all hidden weaknesses.
“I heard that your performance on the last mission wasn’t bad, so Daren decided to transfer you over. Please do not fail Daren’s hopes,” the female yao said faintly.
“Yes!” Mu Xi solemnly responded. She finally understood. So it had been Bing Lan Daren that had requested her transfer. However, she found it even stranger. How did Daren know of her?
She might have been an important person of the younger generation from the Palace Lake Wood Clan, but in all of the yao world, she really was an unknown person. Her performance in the last mission could only said to be competent but average. In terms of fame, she was not as famed as Liang Wei, the only leader that had survived the previous battle, much less that mysterious and uncanny genius, Xiao Mo Ge.
When she received the order to go to the front lines to assist Bing Lan Daren, Mu Xi’s shock could be imagined.
“Also, Liang Wei has also come.” The female yao paused. “But his situation is not the same as yours. He wishes for battle and has offered himself to fight. Bing Lan Daren has agreed to his battle plan. You only have to know this, you do not need to pay attention to him.”
“Starting from today, you are responsible for the defenses of Area Number Three. Go see your subordinates. Farewell!” The female yao turned to leave after she finished.
When the female yao walked away a long distance, Mu Xi inhaled deeply.
Was this the battlefield?
———
“We’re finally out!”
It was unknown who said this but it instantly ignited everyone’s emotions. Cheers and yells filled the Black Turtle! The nervousness and uncertainty that had accumulated on their minds were completely vented in this moment! These hardened men that had endured the test of countless battle were like children, some murmuring to themselves, others hugging each other, and some flying about frantically!
Among the cheers of these people, the strange corpse’s troop seemed abnormally silent.
The strange corpse’s grey eyes were empty and lifeless.
Noticing the strange corpse’s unusual state, Zuo Mo suppressed the joy inside and ran over. “What is it? We finally got out of that ghastly place! Really got out! Aren’t you happy?”
The strange corpse did not reply. He said calmly, “I need to leave.”
“Leave?’ Zuo Mo froze. The strange corpse was very strange but after this period of contact, Zuo Mo felt the other was very good and their interactions had been very harmonious. He couldn’t help but ask, “Where do you plan to go?”
“To find my homeland.”
“Homeland?” Zuo Mo stilled. Place of birth, this phrase was very unfamiliar to him.
“Yes. I hope that we can meet again in the future,” the strange corpse said calmly, “my name is Shi.”
It really was a strange name. Zuo Mo shook his head inside and shook off the thread of melancholy that had formed. He hung a bright smile on his face. “Thank you, without you, I wouldn’t have had the ability to gather those things.”
“No burden at all,” Shi said faintly. “I’m going.”
As the sound landed, the strange corpse’s troupe disappeared.
Having already noticed the disturbance on this side, Wei Sheng and the others hurriedly came over.
“He’s gone,” Zuo Mo spread his hands, “to find his place of birth.”
The others showed expressions of realization.
Other than Zuo Mo feeling some melancholy, the others didn’t feel anything at the departure of the strange corpse. It was the opposite. Without the strange corpse present, everyone felt much lighter. Even though the strange corpse had appeared friendly along the way but his immeasurable strength still put pressure on everyone.
Zuo Mo quickly throw away his emotions and called Wei Sheng, Lil’ miss and the others together.
“We’ve come out of the damned ghastly place, but that does not mean that we are safe,” Zuo Mo spoke first.
Gongsun Cha nodded. “Yes, if our previous speculations are correct, this should be the Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie, a battlefield! We must leave Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie at the fastest speed possible, otherwise … …”
Lil’ Miss did not continue but everyone understood what he meant. Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie was the place where the fighting between xiuzhe and yaomo was the fiercest. If they were careless in the slightest way, and were pulled into a battle, there wouldn’t be anything left of them.
They really belonged to the camp of xiuzhe, but none on the Black Turtle were willing to seek the help of xiuzhe. Undoubtedly, the xiuzhe battle generals here would be disciples of those large sects. The people here, if they weren’t from Sky Moon Jie, they were from Little Mountain Jie. They didn’t have any good feelings towards those large sects.
And if they were chanced upon by yaomo, they didn’t need to even think about that result.
“Go ask, who has the jie river for Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie?” Zuo Mo thought and said, “We don’t even know the directions here, we can only blindly blunder here.”
