Zuo Mo sat on a rock at the top of the mountain, under the moonlight, Ah Gui silently sat beside him.

  Gongsun Zhi found Zuo Mo and looked at him, just smiling.

  "What's so funny?" Zuo Mo asked, then immediately asked: "Where is Shifu Cheng?"

  "He's still studying his spiritual beast, and it's said to be at a critical moment." Gong Sunqi casually found a stone next to Zuo Mo and sat down, stretching: "Finally can take a break, in Xiao Shanjie, I haven't had a good night's sleep."

  "I thought you battle enthusiasts didn't need rest." Zuo Mo shot him a glance and said sarcastically.

  "Hmm, mainly because I've just started and haven't had much practice." Gong Sun smiled awkwardly, making a nauseous expression.

  "Why let them go?" Gong Sun's tone turned serious.

  Zuo Mo rolled his eyes: "Can't afford it. You know how much pressure it is to support so many people? Hmm, in Xiao Shan's territory, we can plunder, but elsewhere, it's not possible. Not being the head of the household doesn't mean you don't know the value of rice and salt. Don't mention other things, do you have any idea how much Zhu Que Camp spends every day? Anyway, since we've fought shoulder to shoulder before, let's part ways amicably."

  The expenses of Zhuque Camp were very clear to Gong Sun, and he also knew that keeping everyone here was definitely unrealistic.

  Tianshui realm is much more prosperous than Xiaoshan realm, but the territory has long been divided up. If you want to intervene, you must take action against other forces. Gong Sun Chi is not afraid of fighting, but this way, it's easy to become the public enemy of the entire Tianshui realm, which would be a disaster.

  "It's estimated that many people will leave." Gong Sun Chi said with a stammer: "When we arrive at the Tian Shui border, people's hearts will be unsettled."

  "That's fine too." Zu Mo said.

  The two fell silent.

  After a while, Gong Sun looked at Zuo Mo and then at Ah Gui who was sitting upright, and asked: "Where are we going next? Hmm, don't say anything about it being dangerous and you'll go alone."

  Zuo Mo's heart warmed up and he said: "I'm going to find Water Cloud Embryo."

  "Water Cloud Birth?" Gong Sun Cha looked at Ah Gui: "Is it for Ah Gui?"

  "Hmm!" Zuǒ Mò nodded: "I don't know what kind of relationship I have with ā Guǐ either. But she ended up like this to save me, I can't just do nothing."

  "This is certain." Gong Sun Chi nodded in agreement, and immediately became excited, raised his arms and shouted: "For Ah Gui! Let's go find Shui Yun Tai!"

  Zuo Mo was inexplicably moved in his heart and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

  "Heh heh, it's best if we can encounter more battles! Just thinking about it is exciting!" Gong Sun Chi smiled wistfully.

  Indeed, a battle maniac...

  "Hmm, where can we find this Water Cloud Fetus? Can it be bought?" Gong Sun Chi asked.

  "I don't know." Zuo Mo shook his head and glanced at A Gui before saying, "We'll have to investigate slowly."

  Suddenly, he took out the sound jade from his ring. Gong Sun's eyes were attracted and he was greatly surprised: "Brother actually carries this thing with him! It's been a long time since I've heard it!"

  "Yes, it's been a long time since I've heard that." Zuo Mo poured spiritual energy into the Sound of the Azure Sky.

  A gentle voice floats out from the sound of the guqin, with an indescribable sense of intimacy.

  Under the moonlight, Zuo Mo and Gong Sun were listening to Yin Gui with relish, Ah Gui sat beside them, unusually quiet.

  The next morning.

  Last night was destined to be a difficult one for many people. Many people's eyes were bloodshot, and some faces looked slightly heavy. The number of people in the camp was significantly reduced compared to usual.

  Gongsun Zan's expression was very relaxed, and not a single person from Zhuque Camp had left. The ones who had fled the most were the East and West Camps, with over 2,000 people in the two camps leaving only 700-800 core members behind.

  "Exactly, fill up the Zhuque camp." Gong Sunqi smiled and said.

  The Zhuque camp didn't leave, the Weicamp didn't leave, and more than half of the Dongxi camp dispersed, which was not beyond Zuo Mo's expectations. What made him feel unexpected was the Refining Department. The cultivators in the Refining Department actually didn't leave either.

  Zuo Mo gazed down at the pairs of eyes below, his heart stirred with emotion.

  He opened his mouth, a thousand words, but when it came to speaking, he didn't know what to say.

  "What's going on here? Get back to work!"

  Zuo Mo's words caused a burst of laughter from the crowd below, and the scattered sadness was suddenly alleviated.

  Rong Wei witnessed this scene, and her heart was shocked. She felt more and more that she couldn't see through the Lord of Golden Crow City. Yesterday, when she heard the Lord of Golden Crow City ask others to leave, she was greatly surprised. How could someone voluntarily weaken their own strength?

  But today, seeing the determined gaze of the repairers under the Golden Crow City, she suddenly had an epiphany.

  This team in front of us is more cohesive and united. Even if they encounter greater danger, they will not collapse easily!

  The Lord of Golden Crow City seems to have weakened his own power, but in fact, not only has the main force not been damaged, but the structure has become more refined and pure, and the strength has actually risen to a higher level, with stronger survival ability!

  Looking at that face which was too young, Rong Wei felt a bit unbelievable. At first glance, Zuo Mo didn't seem to have any outstanding features, but the things this youth did often revealed maturity beyond his age.

  She suddenly realized that even if there was no mysterious door behind the master of Golden Crow City, with his ability, he would not be submerged among the crowd.

  Just as she was pondering, Zuo Mo suddenly turned his face: "Miss Rong, where is the largest city in the Tian Shui Realm?"

  Rong Wei composed herself and smiled: "The Twenty-Eight Heavens of the Tian Shui Realm, the most prosperous one is Ming Shui City. Does the city master have any plans?"

  "I have some stuff on hand that I want to deal with, and I'll buy some things while I'm at it."

  "In that case, Ming Water City is the most suitable. Several of the largest merchant houses in Tian Shui are all located in Ming Water City." Rong Wei smiled and said: "Our estate is also located in Ming Water City, and we have a good relationship with each of these families, perhaps we can lend a helping hand."

  Zuo Mo hastily thanked her: "Thank you, Rong young lady!"

  Su Yue finished reading the paper crane sent by Gao Jian Ting, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes. Su Yue was elegant and refined, even among the many beautiful women of the Hundred Flowers Alliance, she was the most dazzling and attractive one. She had been in charge of the Hundred Flowers Alliance for twenty years, with a long history of good relations with various sects and factions. Her disciples were also married to outstanding disciples from major sects, with deep roots.

  "For now, let's not make any rash moves." Su Yue said thoughtfully: "Let's see what their origins are."

  "Yes!" The young female disciple replied respectfully.

  "Where have they gone now?"

  "Yesterday evening, they arrived outside the city." The female disciple Liso replied: "It was Rong Wei who brought them over."

  "Oh." Su Yue was somewhat surprised, and immediately revealed a thoughtful expression. She couldn't quite figure out what kind of relationship Rong Wei had with this Lord of Golden Crow City.

  The Wu Hou Mansion is as deep as the sea, and outsiders find it hard to fathom its depths. However, with the Hundred Flowers Alliance's numerous informants, they are most skilled at gathering intelligence, and Su Yue can also catch a glimpse or two. If one were to discuss the various powers of Ming Shui City, what Su Yue fears the most is none other than the Wu Hou Mansion.

  Wu Hou's mansion has always been low-key and didn't ask about external affairs, Wu Hou himself was also devoted to cultivation. However, various signs all indicate that behind Wu Hou, there is a very deep background. A long time ago, Su Yue had already sensed this point, but over the years, no matter how they investigated, they still couldn't find anything.

  Rong Wei's move this time was precisely the biggest action of the Wu Hou Fu in recent years.

  Su Yue caught a whiff of something unusual.

  When he saw the Ming Water City, Zuo Mo was slightly shocked. Compared to Dong Fu, the scale of Ming Water City was dozens of times larger. The entire sky was filled with a dazzling array of colors, like a rainbow that never ended. In the air above the city, hundreds of islands of varying sizes floated, and houses built on auspicious clouds were also resplendent in every color of the rainbow. Various seals and spell formations glowed with a soft light, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.

  Tianshui Realm is indeed much more prosperous than Tianyue Realm.

  Others were fine, Zuo Mo, Gong Sun Cho and Xun Yu Cheng, three sworn brothers, were all inexperienced in the ways of the world, each with their mouths agape, looking utterly bewildered.

  She had been paying attention to them all along, and Rong Yun couldn't help but wonder in her heart, how could the behavior of these three people not look like they were from some big sect?

  However, she did not suspect anything, as many of the sect's disciples, in order to focus on their cultivation, never asked about worldly affairs. Some people had not stepped out of the mountain gate for decades.

  She didn't show any sign of disdain, but instead introduced it with great enthusiasm.

  "Mingshui City is the essence of the Tian Shui realm, with nearly 40% of the spiritual veins gathered here, and it has the most Dongtian Fudi. If the city master wants to develop here, it's not bad to buy a few Dongtian Fudi for cultivation."

  Dongtian Fudi has no attraction to Zuomo, his magical body can automatically absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and can also eliminate impurities, so Dongtian Fudi is not needed.

  Others also lack enthusiasm for grotto-heavens and blissful lands.

  Rong Wei was even more convinced that the master of Golden Crow City came from the Dà Mén Pài. For ordinary cultivators, a grotto-heaven blessed land was their delight and also their greatest wish. Many cultivators' lifelong struggle goal was to have a grotto-heaven blessed land.

  Only Taiji Men disciples don't need to worry about good or bad luck.

  Zuo Mo's group was indeed impressive, with their camp set up in a desolate area outside the city. What made Zuo Mo unhappy was that the desolate land outside Ming Water City actually belonged to someone else. It wasn't until Rong Wei stepped forward that this matter was settled.

  Shu Long and his men had no interest in touring the city. The rejuvenated Shu Long's fervor for cultivation made Zuo Mo feel ashamed. Under his leadership, every member of the Wei Camp became a cultivation fanatic.

  The people of the Refining Department stayed in the camp, only Sun Bao and Ji Wei followed. Apart from this, Bao Yi was also an indispensable person. Considering not to attract too much attention, Gong Sun Chi still brought three departments' repairers, Tian Feng Qu was among them.

  But even so, the group of people was extremely eye-catching.

  Especially the murderous aura tempered by Zhuque Camp's experience in war, is vastly different from that of ordinary guards. To a discerning eye, it would inevitably arouse some speculation.

  Fortunately, Rong Wei was still recognized by many people in Ming Shui City, and from time to time someone came forward to greet her.

  Suddenly, Rong Wei's mind stirred and she looked up to see a paper crane flying towards her.

  The paper crane fluttered into her palm, she skillfully unfolded it, and after reading it, she showed an unexpected expression.

  The young master is not in the mansion!

  The news brought to her by the guards she had sent back to the mansion was that Master Hou had gone out half a month ago and had not returned yet. Rong Wei felt somewhat disappointed, as she had originally wanted to bring Jin Wucheng's group to meet Master Hou, who was knowledgeable and might be able to find out their origins.

  It seems that there is no other choice. She was also worried about the affairs in the mansion, so she bowed her head to Zuo Mo and said: "I'm really sorry, Rong Wei didn't know that Master had gone out half a month ago and hasn't returned yet. The affairs in the mansion are complicated, Rong Wei will take her leave first, please forgive me, City Lord."

  Zuo Mo didn't say a word and hastily said: "Miss Rong has already helped us so much, thank you very much! You go ahead and busy yourself, we'll just take a stroll around!"

  Yongyi leaves after worrying about the situation in the palace.

  After walking for a while, Zuomo's expression changed and he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Someone was following them!
