Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety – Waiting (2/2)

A short while later, the number of scouts decreased and almost disappeared.

Gongsun Cha realized that Gongye Xiao Rong was planning a new approach.

———

Mu Xi patrolled the camp repeatedly. Her calm expression affected the combat yao below her. Their morale had not changed greatly after the defeat of their allies.

Of the alliance army, Mu Xi Battalion was the only battalion that survived.

Originally, she was to command the entirety of the allied army, but she had actually received great resistance from Bi Shan and the other generals. She was yao so she was naturally not welcomed as the leader of this allied army, one that was primarily comprised of mo.

The allied army quickly elected to have Bi Shan as the lead commander and in the following battles, Mu Xi perceptively detected Tian Huan’s strategy. It was a pity that Mu Xi was unable to persuade Bi Shan and the others to change their strategy.

Seeing that it could not be stopped, Mu Xi instead found an excuse to delay her battalion’s participation for a few days and so they did not land in Tian Huan’s ambush. They managed to successfully survive. Mu Xi’s astounding perceptiveness earned her the trust of her subordinates and everyone followed her faithfully.

Mu Xi recognized from the troop movements of the Tian Huan battalion that the other did not know about the existence of her battalion.

So she led the battalion to hide in the jie river of Cross pond Jie near Black Stone Jie.

She judged that Gongye Xiao Rong’s first choice of attack would be Clear Daybreak Jie and not Cross Pond Jie. She was like a patient hunter and she was just waiting for a chance to take back Black Stone Jie in order to return home!

Suddenly, a scout reported back with an excited expression. “Daren, Tian Huan has moved. As you expected, they went to Clear Daybreak Jie!”

Mu Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up. She said in a deep voice, “Gather!”

Such a good chance!

The attack had occurred in public and Ceng Lian’er coming out added on a spectacular brushstroke to Xiao Mo Ge and Miao Jun’s fight. The Xiao-Miao fight that had been a hot topic became even more popular.

This challenge was full of wonder.

The peerlessly domineering punch that Xiao Mo Ge used shocked everyone. And Miao Jun’s forfeit was something that every person did not understand. The strange green light and the weird Ceng Lian’er caused even more questions to arise.

Why had they tried to assassinate Xiao Mo Ge?

What was the origins of the beautiful woman next to Xiao Mo Ge? How was her true strength?

Those that cared also noticed that there was an extremely ugly woman next to Xiao Mo Ge as well but Xiao Mo Ge treated this woman much better than the beauty.

These all became topics of discussion.

Zuo Mo was not surprised that Ceng Lian’er had lent a hand. Just based on their paired cultivation, Ceng Lian’er had to save him. However, he was very angry that Ceng Lian’er had taken A Gui to the battle stadium and placed her in danger.

However, Ceng Lian’er ignored him and just drank tea in an easy and relaxed state.

Shu Long charged in. “Daren, Miao Jun has come.”

Hearing this, Zuo Mo was slightly shocked. This guy really came?

Truthfully, Zuo Mo was very shocked that Miao Jun had forfeited the match. Even he himself, did not feel that the other really forfeited. He was almost out of strength at that time, and while Miao Jun’s Azure Air Kill had been defeated, but he still had power to fight.

The situation was advantageous towards Miao Jun but Miao Jun had forfeited in that situation.

When Miao Jun walked in, he bowed properly to Zuo Mo, “Daren!”

Zuo Mo instantly felt uncomfortable. However, if he didn’t take advantage, he wasn’t Little Mo Ge. He tested, “You have really decided to work for me?”

“Yes! Daren!” Miao Jun’s expression was calm and there was no deception that he could detect.

Zuo Mo thought and then said, “I’m telling you now that I do not have Celestial Azure Essence.”

“This subordinate has guessed this.” Miao Jun’s expression was still calm. “It is not important if Daren has Celestial Azure Essence or not. This subordinate has admitted defeat, and will follow through with our bet.”

His expression was honest as though he was just stating a simple fact.

But Zuo Mo still felt it was slightly strange. But the other’s expression did not seem insincere. He could not think of a reason the other submitted no matter how he tried so Zuo Mo decided not to think. “You can find a room and settle in.”

“Yes, Daren!” Miao Jun nodded.

What did this person mean? Zuo Mo rubbed his chin. Looking at Miao Jun’s figure, he felt puzzled.

Was there someone this strong that was really willing to be someone’s subordinate? Zuo Mo did not believe it.

But if the other had some unforeseen goal, Zuo Mo felt there was nothing about him that was worthy of being targeted.

In any case, those that were barefoot were not afraid of those wearing shoes!

Zuo Mo comforted himself.

Shu Long quickly reported back with news.

One of the news items was that Zuo Mo had replaced Miao Jun and entered the Great Peace Mo Rankings and was in the twentieth position. Zuo Mo probably was the youngest genius that had entered the Great Peace Mo Rankings.

The other bit of news was that the princesses of three great families were coming together and would reach Great Peace City a fortnight later!

Princess Xia was among them!

This news caused Great Peace City to explode!
