Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Six – Sudden Change! (2/2)

Wei Sheng and the others had terrible complexions.

They had not found Zuo Mo and A Gui after ten days of searching. All of the mist people tribe had been sent out to search every inch of the ground but there was no discovery. Zuo Mo and A Gui seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Bing Yao’s expression was not good. He had not yet recovered from the fight against Ding Zhen.

Looking at Bing Yao, Wei Sheng asked through his teeth, “Is there any news?” Zong Ru and the Little Ones all raised their heads. They had also not healed from their wounds and additionally they could not move as easily as the mist people through the ice mist.

Bing Yao gave a grimace and shook his head. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “My clansmen have searched the area within a thousand li and still haven’t found anything. I suspect … …”

“Suspect what?” Wei Sheng’s gave focused.

“Suspect they have entered the restricted lands!” Bing Yao gritted out. “They definitely should not have flown out far. There is only one place within a thousand li that has not been searched, the restricted lands!”

Wei Sheng and Zong Ru’s heart sank. They recalled how Bing Yao had been willing to sacrifice his life to prevent people from entering the restricted lands.

The two sides became silent at the obvious rise in tensions.

At this time, a disturbance suddenly came from the door.

A mist person lead an unfamiliar man about thirty-years old into the room. “Clan Leader, he says he is Mister Zuo’s messenger.”

Wei Sheng and Zong Ru suddenly stood up. Wei Sheng’s gaze was sharp as he said gravely, “Who are you? Why do I not know you?”

Wei Sheng’s presence was as sharp as a sword. Even though his wounds had not healed, the presence clearly was outside the limits of what the other could endure. Seeing the other’s ashen face, Wei Sheng realized that he was too impatient and hurriedly dampened his presence.

The expression of the incomer recovered slightly but his voice was still trembling. “This one … … this one is a good friend of Kang De. A few … … few days ago, I received a message from him. He begged me to come here … … to send a message!”

Then he tremblingly took out a jade scroll and respectfully presented it.

Kang De? Hadn’t he gone back already?

Wei Sheng took the jade scroll and started to read it. His expression became dazed and then he handed the jade scroll to Zong Ru with a weird expression. When Zong Ru’s consciousness entered the jade scroll, his expression also became strange.

“You do this, your illusory spells are better than mine,” Wei Sheng said to Zong Ru with a grimace.

Zong Ru’s hands flipped and the message appeared in front of everyone.

The one speaking was Lil’ Miss. Lil’ Miss said they received a message from Zuo Mo saying that he and A Gui were fine but they were unable to come back in the short term etc etc, telling Wei Sheng and Zong Ru to not worry and first go back to Turtle Island to heal.

Everyone exhaled in relief.

Noticing Bing Yao’s expression of release, Wei Sheng bowed towards him and said apologetically, “I was very offensive towards Clan Leader just now, Clan Leader, please have tolerance!”

They had seen all the people from the mist people tribe going out and search these past days, and were grateful yet just now, they had almost started a conflict with Bing Yao over the restricted lands.

Bing Yao said guiltily, “The one who should say sorry is me. I’m am ashamed not have to have taken better care of Brother Zuo!”

Receiving a message from Turtle Island, Wei Sheng and Zong Ru’s hearts were at rest. The information was definitely true. Kang De had never seen the mist people. If Zuo Mo didn’t give him any directions, how could the messenger find this place?

Even though the words inside the jade scroll were general and vague, Wei Sheng and Zong Ru did not think deeply about it. They were very used to anything related to Zuo Mo to be out of the norm.

Since Zuo Mo could pass on this news, it was enough to show that he was in no mortal danger at this time.

This was the news that made them the happiest.

———

If Wei Sheng and Zong Ru knew Zuo Mo’s present situation, they definitely would be worried.

Zuo Mo’s skeleton had almost came apart. Every time A Gui took a step, he felt a wave of enormous pain but he did not make a sound. He had spent ten whole days on A Gui’s back.

A Gui’s situation was very terrible. The vitality in her eyes had disappeared. No matter what Zuo Mo said to her, she did not react at all.

Only when they encountered danger would the purple light in her eyes flare up again.

A Gui stopped walking, put Zuo Mo down and then silently sat down.

“A Gui, do you know what place this is?” Zuo Mo said to himself. He knew that A Gui would not respond but he still asked her.

He wasn’t the only one ignorant. Pu Yao didn’t know, Wei also did not know. He only knew A Gui had saved him. According to Pu Yao, A Gui had been hit by Ding Zhen in order to save him.

Strangely, Ding Zhen’s strike had worsened A Gui’s health but had also stimulated the purple energy in her body. It seemed to become even more powerful but Zuo Mo didn’t want it to be so powerful. Thinking about the feelings of coldness and death from the purple energy, Zuo Mo did not feel good.

Compared to A Gui, Zuo Mo’s state was much worse.

His shen power had dissipated, his ling power, spiritual consciousness, and mo skill tangled together. He was unable to use any power, and even worse, he wasn’t even able to move a finger. The only thing he could do was talk. Any timethe streams of power inside his body collided against itself, it would cause enormous pain.

Pu Yao and Wei did not have a solution. It was the first time they saw such a strange state.

“Ah, I wonder if Eldest Shixiong and Zong Ru received my message,” Zuo Mo said to himself. Then he asked, “Hey Pu Yao, did you really send the message?”

“Stop being bothersome, you asked twenty times already!” Pu Yao’s impatient voice echoed in his sea of consciousness.

Done with his harassment, Zuo Mo threw Pu Yao to the side and said to A Gui. “A Gui, your power seems to have recovered. It is so strange, getting injured causes a recovery in your power. A Gui, if we find a water cloud embryo, would you remember the past?”

A Gui was like a wooden puppet and did not react at all.

Zuo Mo continued to chitchat to himself. “What relationship do you think we had? You have helped me so much, your relationship definitely is not a shallow one!”

Zuo Mo spoke to himself as A Gui remained motionless like a statue.

Four hours later, A Gui put Zuo Mo back on her back and continued to walk forward.

“A Gui, why don’t you fly? Did you forget how?” On her back, Zuo Mo started to speak again. “That stupid purple energy. When I cultivate my Sun Shen power to a high level, I will eliminate it!”

A Gui did not respond as she walked forward.

This was a land of death with only rocks and crags spreading out without end. There was no trace of life. They would frequently encounter sand storms. When the sand and stones in the wind hit their bodies, it was enormously painful.

But no matter how strong the wind storm, A Gui would not change her direction or stop walking.

Her small body carried Zuo Mo who was a size larger than her as she walked against the sand storm. She did not seem to know exhaustion and did not speak. Only when she had walked for a day and night would she stop and rest for four hours.

Zuo Mo was pressed against A Gui’s neck as he was carried on her back. The enormous pain in his body did not seem to be so painful. No matter how excruciating the pain was, Zuo Mo did not speak. For some reason, he did not want A Gui to hear it, even if he knew that A Gui could not hear it.

Even the stupidest person would know that he and A Gui had more than a passing acquaintance. She was probably someone really close to him.

When she did not use the purple energy, A Gui’s strength was the same as the average person.

Her steps were very heavy. For her, it was slightly difficult to move Zuo Mo’s weight.

“A Gui, I’m going to tell you a joke, a very funny joke … …”

Zuo Mo patiently talked to A Gui. She could not hear but for some reason, but still Zuo Mo wanted to talk.

Translator Ramblings: I mistranslated Fu Feng as Bo Feng way back in the beginning. I haven’t corrected those chapters yet but just so you guys will remember. It also seemed like Fang Xiang was a very generous person and didn’t leave on a cliff hanger. This would have been the perfect place for one.
