Chapter Six Hundred and Eighteen – Activation

Zuo Mo’s business was open.

Ever since Princess Xia’s visit, Zuo Mo’s estate had become a popular place. The families that thought themselves possessing some power, all offered olive branches to Zuo Mo. All kinds of mo weapons, all kinds of rare treasures, and some families were so generous as to even give jie to Zuo Mo.

Zuo Mo accepted them all. He was profusely grateful in words but did not mention anything else.

These factions did not mention it either. This was just them feeling out the road. Zuo Mo was something rare but nothing had started at this time. It was not the time for them to truly give their prices.

As to these things, they were nothing to these large and powerful factions.

Inside the estate, the gifts piled up in a mountain. There were many precious treasures but Zuo Mo was not very happy. There was no news yet of A Wen and the others. They seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Zuo Mo had practically asked all the factions in Great Peace City but hadn’t found anything.

Luo Li Shidi was still in seclusion. Zuo Mo was very worried about his condition. Sometimes, there would be a thread of life, but most of the time, there wasn’t any vitality.

The state of affairs in Great Peace City was complex. Even Zuo Mo could not predict which way it would develop.

He was something rare and desired. In other words, everyone knew him.

There were countless pairs of eyes staring at him openly and from the shadows. With the slightest misstep, he would die. What he was most worried about were A Wen and the others. This mastermind was able to remain so composed and it put great pressure on Zuo Mo.

He could only wait patiently. Other than waiting, there wasn’t anything more he could do. Everyday, he had to suppress the restlessness he felt, be patient, and cultivate.

Yet at this time, an invitation from City Master Shi was delivered to him.

———

When Zuo Mo arrived at a room hidden deep in the Great Peace Palace, there were already eight people inside.

The people greeted him when they saw him. Right now, everyone in Great Peace City knew that Zuo Mo was a person important to the opening of Great Peace Treasure Pavilion. All the families hoped to develop a closer relationship with him and had friendlier smiles.

Shi Yue Yi, Chang Yuan Hao, Yu Shuang, Princess Xia and the others were among those present.

Moments later, more people came in. About an hour later, the room closed up. Zuo Mo looked around and inhaled in shock. This room contained almost all the important personages in Great Peace City.

What was happening?

Zuo Mo thought inside.

The first to speak was Shi Yue Yi. “I have invited everyone today because we have intelligence on the xiuzhe in Great Peace City.”

Then Princess Xia stood and bowed to the crowd. She said, “Those xiuzhe are very well disguised. If it wasn’t that they first lost to Mister Xiao, it would really have been difficult to detect them. We secretly sent people to investigate all recent newcomers to the city and finally had a result today. However, there is trouble. Many of them are still hidden, and our investigations have already attracted their attention.”

The room was very quiet. The people present were all leaders and naturally could hold their composure.

Princess Xia wasn’t timid at all. She was at ease and her seductive eyes now flashed with an intelligent light. “I suspect that xiuzhe sects like Kun Lun probably had spies in Great Peace City a long time ago. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence that they knew that the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion is about to appear?”

“Hmph! These xiuzhe still won’t give up on eliminating us mo!” Yu Shuang shorted coldly, his expression frosty.

Princess Xia smiled and brimmed with strong confidence. “Elder Yu is right, and we shall give them a memorable lesson.”

“Princess, tell us what arrangements you have. On this matter, there is no reason for us to refuse!” one person shouted.

The others all agreed.

Princess Xia’s eyes turned. “This plan requires the support of Mister Xiao in order to proceed.”

“Me?” Zuo Mo pointed at his nose and looked dazedly at Princess Xia.

“Yes!” Princess Xia blinked her eyes at him.

———

“You are not kind to drag me into this!”

Inside Princess Xia’s residence, Zuo Mo waved his arms around in displeasure. Princess Xia was smiling in front of him.

“However, aren’t you the person with the greatest grievance against Kun Lun? How can this be called pulling you under the water?” Princess Xia said innocently. Mirth flowed deep in her eyes.

Zuo Mo was unable to form words. He had been the one urging this matter. Princess Xia was correct. But this completely disrupted his previous plans. He had originally wanted to help urge this matter forward and strike at Kun Lun using the mo.

But now, it became him going forward to give Kun Lun a blow. How could he remain calm?

Yes, he had a grievance against Kun Lun. But if he went to make trouble for the other before he was strong enough, that was just throwing meat buns at the dogs. Zuo Mo knew just how vicious Kun Lun would be.

Great Peace City was full of experts but no one had the certainty of victory when facing Kun Lun’s experts.
