Chapter Three Hundred and Three – Leaving Little Mountain Jie

“En, we need to leave this place quickly,” Zuo Mo said decisively. “Little Mountain Jie isn’t a safe place.”

“When are we leaving?” Gongsun Cha then asked.

“Get everyone to pack, then prepare for departure. Let them prepare well. When we pass through the Clear Sky Sect, there may be a hard battle.”

“Alright.” Gongsun Cha instantly went out to prepare.

 

———

 

Everyone in Golden Crow City started to move. Zuo Mo released all of the Outer Hall captives. Clear Sky Old Forefather had been killed which was a fatal blow to the Outer Hall xiuzhe. At this point, no one would be willing to sell their life for Clear Sky Sect.

The battle of Golden Crow City had shaken Little Mountain Jie.

Right now, everyone knew that the sky had changed for Little Mountain Jie

No one was willing to stay in this cage. In the span of a few days, almost all of the remaining xiuzhe from Little Mountain Jie had gathered outside Golden Crow City.

They looked with awe at this little town of which only remained half standing. Everyone knew this place held the hope to leave Little Mountain Jie. No one made trouble, they only watched from a distance. When Vermillion Bird Camp’s patrols passed, many people bowed of their own initiative.

From a distance, there was a spectacularly dense patch of xiuzhe outside Golden Crow City.

“Will there be trouble?” Nian Lu asked worriedly.

“Who’s afraid?” Lei Peng was unconcerned. “We can kill as many of these as they come.”

“Ha, that’s true!” Pride flashed across Nian Lu’s face.”Before, who could have thought there would be a day like this? It’s worth it even if I die!”

Lei Peng rumbled, “I don’t want to die. Boss still has so much good stuff. Maybe we can cultivate to jindan in the future.”

“You really dare to think … …” Nian Lu looked into the distance.

Suddenly the order to gather came from below. The two exchanged a look. They were going to depart!

The Little Mountain Jie xiuzhe who had been keeping a constant eye on Golden Crow City shifted.

After a short while, Vermillion Bird Camp was the first to ascend into the air. The Vermillion Bird Camp of more than seven hundred people was famed in Little Mountain Jie. When Vermillion Bird Camp collectively flew into the air, many of the people watching from afar sighed with admiration.

“Look! That’s Vermillion Bird Camp! The strongest army of Little Mountain Jie!”

“Whoa! That presence is really frightening!”

“I wonder if they are still hiring? Death would be worth it if I could enter such a troop!”

Chatter rose among the crowd. People were filled with admiration and awe as they looked at this powerful troop. No one dared to underestimate them, even if they there were only seven hundred people.

Vermillion Bird Camp quickly spread out after getting up into the air. They were wary and cautious.

Following them were the five gigantic slave transporting boats that slowly rose. There were one thousand black armor camp guards standing on the lead slave transport ship. That was Guard Camp who became famous in one battle. They were not skilled in flying. The enormous and steady slave transporting boats were perfect for them. The pressure of one thousand camp guards standing on the deck gave people was unparalleled.

The appearance of Guard Camp caused a small crescendo of murmuring.

The xiuzhe that had personally seen the heart-shaking battle described the terrifying strength of Guard Camp to the others.

The ferocious killing energy and the ancient battle armor that they wore, which had long disappeared into the river of history, became the topics that interested the people the most.

The other for slave transporting boats were used for the Eastern Camp, Western Camp and non-combat xiuzhe. And the last boat was filled with all kinds of materials.

Slave transporting boats were enormous. In Little Mountain Jie, five slave transporting boats definitely counted as a gigantic fleet. Adding on Vermillion Bird Camp and Guard Camp, this definitely was the strongest fleet of Little Mountain Jie.

Zuo Mo looked at Golden Crow City below and was filled with emotion.

It just had been a few short days, but Golden Crow City had completely transformed. It was broken and shattered. Possibly in the future, this place would become ruins of an ancient city.

He raised his head and looked at the sky filled with xiuzhe in a dense cloud that did not end. He couldn’t help but sigh again. After this departure, Little Mountain Jie would become a dead jie without any people.

Maybe this place would become the frontlines like Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie had previously been, a paradise of yaomo.

Oh, he really had no standing to sigh. Thinking about Pu Yao in his sea of consciousness, Zuo Mo grimaced.

However, they could finally leave this place … …

He looked at A Gui beside him. A Gui was sitting silently. He turned his face and said to Gongsun Cha, “Depart!”

 

———

 

The five slave transporting boats slowly started to fly forward. Many people looked back at Golden Crow City, their eyes filled with reluctance. This little city had given them hope and sunlight. This little city would become a place they would reminiscence for their entire life.

The vast troop flew towards the jie river towards Sky Water Jie.

Along the way, there was a constant stream of xiuzhe merging with their convoy. The troop became even larger. Each person’s face was filled with excitement and exhilaration. They looked with awe at the figure standing on the deck of the lead slave transport ship.

There was no light coming from the ling armor, the not-so-broad figure did not have a grand presence, this normal looking youth that was outrageously young gave them hope and led them to escape this cage.

Not far from their troop, a troop of yao soldiers watched as they left.

Daren, are we not pursuing them?”

“No, we are too exhausted.”

“But … …”

“The order from the Council of Elders is to take Little Mountain Jie at the fastest speed possible, not to do anything else.”

 

———

 

Rong Wei entered this convoy along the way.

Personally seeing this scene, she sighed inside. After this hard battle, the master of Golden Crow City had become the true king of Little Mountain Jie. If he sent down an order right now, there definitely would be many people willing to sell their life for him. In the remaining xiuzhe of Little Mountain Jie, there was not another person that could be spoken of in the same terms as him.

The xiuzhe from Little Mountain Jie had all chosen to leave. Her mission did not have much meaning then.

She didn’t think that she could investigate and find something in Little Mountain Jie with just the handful of compound guards she had come with. The best choice right now was to leave with the master of Golden Crow City.

She held a high opinion of the master of Golden Crow City. With the group of people under his command, the master of Golden Crow City would be invincible wherever he went. From the battle, she had seen how powerful the master of Golden Crow City was.

It was a profitable matter to give someone friendship when they were in their most difficult straits.

“Good day, City Master!” Rong Wei went over and bowed. With a smile, she said, “We will be travelling with you!”

Zuo Mo smiled. “Miss Rong is too courteous.” As he finished, he had his people make room.

Rong Wei was not courteous and stepped onto the slave transporting boat. The compound guards all held their head and chests high, and shared in the glory.

“What does City Master plan to do for the future?”

Rong Wei tilted her head and asked.

“We’ll plan each step when we get there.” Zuo Mo was very wary of this female xiu that was investigating Stars in Daytime.

“Sky Water Jie isn’t a bad place. City Master could consider it,” Rong Wei said.

Zuo Mo shook his head. “Too dangerous, The yao army can enter Little Mountain Jie at any time. Sky Water Jie is this close to Little Mountain Jie, it is slightly dangerous.”

Rong Wei stilled. Upon further thought, she instantly stopped speaking. The other’s words were very reasonable. She considered whether or not she should urge the Marquis to move the House of the Crow Marquis to a place further way when she returned.

Pu Yao suddenly spoke up inside Zuo Mo’s mind, “Ask her if she has a jie map?”

Hearing this, Zuo Mo’s mind moved. He asked Rong Wei, “Speaking of that, this one has something to request.”

“Oh, please speak,” Rong Wei said cautiously.

“This one’s jie map was lost, and wants to borrow and copy Miss Rong’s jie map,” Zuo Mo said without blushing or an increase in his heartbeat.

Hearing this, Rong Wei’s heart settled. She said, “No problem, but the markings on this one’s jie river are limited, and hope that City Master will not be too disappointed.”

Zuo Mo hurriedly gave his thanks, took out a blank jade scroll and copied.

After he finished, he gave the jie map jade scroll back to the other and went back to his cabin after bidding farewell.

Once he entered the boat cabin, he couldn’t wait and took out the jie map to examine.

The jie map was filled with the names of all the jie and the jie rivers connecting them. Zuo Mo instantly felt his vision broaden. Only today did he discover the general location of Sky Moon Jie, and Little Mountain Jie.

Sky Moon Jie and Little Mountain Jie were at the corner of the entire jie map.

As expected, it was rural area … …

He smacked his lips and rubbed his chin as he read intensely, unaware that Pu Yao had also crowded next to him and was examining the jie map.

“Such a small jie map?” Pu Yao said with slightly disdain.

“It’s already a lot. There’s more than three hundred jie labeled on here!”

“Three hundred jie is a lot?” Pu Yao seemed to have heard a great joke. “Country bumpkin!”

Zuo Mo ignored him. It was the first time he saw a jie map and he was very curious. The labels on the jie map were very detailed. It even included the specialty products of each jie. He read on with interest. Around the jie map were large areas of blank space. Those were probably areas that had never been mapped before.

He quickly discovered that there was no information on Water Cloud Embryos on the jie map.

“Pu, which jie produces Water Cloud Embryos?”

“I don’t know,” Pu Yao said irritably, “I’m not familiar with your xiuzhe territories.”

“Aren’t you a Sky yao? You don’t even know this.” Zuo Mo egged him on.

Pu Yao tilted his head and smirked coldly. “I know of a place, but it is in a yao jie, you dare to go?”

Zuo Mo instantly was speechless. It seemed he had to do a search when he got to Sky Water Jie.

When the vast troop reached Clear Sky Sect’s base, they found it was completely empty. Zuo Mo, who had been expecting another hard battle, was very surprised.

When they found out the Clear Sky Sect disciples had all run away, cheers rang out from the troop. Zuo Mo did not doubt that if any Clear Sky Sect disciple’s identity was revealed, and they encountered any xiuzhe that escaped from Little Mountain JIe, they would die a terrible death.

Every single one of the surviving xiuzhe from Little Mountain Jie hated Clear Sky Sect to the bone.

What Zuo Mo felt was a pity was everything good in Clear Sky Sect had been cleaned out. He didn’t stop there, followed the jie river, and flew towards Sky Water Jie.

When they arrived at the airspace above the jie river, many of the xiuzhe’s tears uncontrollably flowed.

They finally believed that they were going to leave this hell-like cage!

They could finally return to the life they had been familiar with before. This made everyone excited.

Cheers, sobs, venting roars … …

The sky above the jie river was very busy.

Zuo Mo wasn’t very excited. He looked at A Gui sitting silently beside him, his gaze determined.

The other end of the jie river was just a new beginning.

Translator Ramblings: Don’t worry, Pu Yao hasn’t forgotten the golden core yet. It will come up. Zuo Mo getting the jie map is like those players who just left behind the beginner level. Sky Moon Jie was the tutorial, Little Mountain Jie the beginner village, and now we are off to the real world.

The yao army juuuuuuuuuuust allows Zuo Mo to slip through, again. It’s a string of coincidences. They are too tired after traveling at full speed and Zuo Mo’s convoy is too numerous. Last time, it was that they adhered to the mission and were merciful so they did not to go after “innocents.” I’m not sure what is plot armor if this isn’t.

As for A Gui’s name, the guywhoshere had a good answer: Ah (阿) is a prefix for endearment, like you would use Xiao (小) to say little *name*. Gui (鬼) is ghost, hence why he previously called her ghost.

  1. Thank you for your great work. One Question: what happend to the Pet breeder shidi? He wasn’t mentioned for ages.

  2. And so begins the next arc in the grand adventures of Scalping Zombie, Arrogant Demon, Stoic Tombstone, and Female Ghost, along with everyone’s favorite side characters, Lil’ Miss, Beast Enthusiast, Lil’ Black, Silly Bird (a.k.a Best Girl), Lil’ Pagoda and Lil’ Flame!

    1. Because it is “A” Gui for affection, not Xiao Gui which has totally different connotations like being childish or mischievous.

  3. As for plot armor, at least it wasn’t convoluted one. I personally would have preferred if they had arrived just after our MC had left. Adding the reason of being to tired to fight made it an obvious plot armor just as you pointed out.

    1. Its not really plot armor. Honestly, it would feel more forced if they had attacked such a massive convoy. Though, even if they had attacked, and been so overwhelming that the convoy couldn’t fight back, everyone would just scatter and the only things likely to be lost would be the boat with all the loot on it and a bunch of no-name NPC types. And personally, I don’t really want to see Zuo Mo have to start over from scratch again.

    2. The last time, didn’t they blow the crap out of Desolate Reef and Zuo Mo only escaped underwater because of the date ship? That doesn’t sound like ‘avoiding casualties’ to me.

      1. I think the blow only shattered the moon chime formation and whoever got caught in the backlash. But the stronger ones fled and Mu Xi said to not pursue them.

  4. Cheers, snobs, venting roars … …
    Cheers, sobs*, venting roars … …

    Thanks for the chapter!

  5. I wonder why he hasn’t asked Rong Wei about the embryo yet. If she has it, she would likely be willing to trade it for something he has. If nothing else, just the secret to making Golden Crow Fire has got to be worth enough.

    I also curious to see how many jie’s he’ll wind up visiting by the end of the series. I expect it will be a fairly high number.

  6. Rather than “A Gui”, I think it’s more comfortable to read with “Ah Gui”.
    Lots of translations use “Ah” as pinyin for that word.

      1. Oh, now that you mention it, I remember: in the manhua Ravages of Time (火凤燎原), Cao Cao is called “Ah Man” by people like Xiahou Dun who were childhood friends with him. Probably the same character A/Ah. The English translator uses the “Ah” version.

        Hehe, well, just saying; this historical stuff doesn’t have anything to do with xianxia, anyway. ^_~

      2. From what I understand on google search, the A/Ah pronunciation varies geographically. Some people will automatically pronounce “a” as “ah” while others pronounce “a” as “ai.”

  7. “What Zuo Mo felt was a pity was everything good in Clear Sky Sect had been cleaned out. He didn’t stop there, followed the jie river, and flew towards Sky Water Jie.”

    Damn!

    1. My other hypothesis is that Fang Xiang wanted to remind us people were still looking for Zuo Mo. Just to add pressure to the story.

  8. The story up to this chapter is very good, the journey from sky moon jie till little mountain jie is great and it’s only beginner village? I wonder if the next arc will be even better.
    Thank you for the translation.

  9. thanks for the chapter
    I know that the black market merchant is feeling very good right now because I am willing to bet that now that they are leaving the jie that the black processing mats would sell for a great deal less.

    1. I don’t think so, what happened to little mountain jie is exactly what the yaomo did to blood sky metropolis, they always do that to their frontlines to make the fight difficult for xiuxhe. Instead of losing market the black mat processing mats just got a whole new market to explore. If they don’t get robbed of them by the bigger sects that is

  10. Thanks for the chapter!
    It seemed he had to do a search when he got of Sky Water Jie.
    he got of -> he get to
    I think?

  11. Wonder if Golden Crow city will appear at some point in Five Way Heaven, that would be cool, and if after all that time that the remaining city walls have gotten super strong due to the foundation formations that are meant to strengthen it over time.

  12. but our mc has the best plot amour as it doesn’t take away from the immersion. We can only think better luck nice time villains.

  13. What people are forgetting is that the current Yao army is around 300-1000 strong and just our team alone could wipe them out , add the following xiuzhes which might be around 4000-10000.

  14. Someone mentioned Five Way Heavens and gotta say after reading through the translated chapters …the author is quickly becoming my favourite among the chinese xianxia writers.
    Thank you for the awesome series ,if anything I am willing to donate some as this series brings me great joy while reading it (World of Cultivation).
    As for Five Way Heavens I am going to put it to the side until way more chapters come.

    1. Five Way Heaven is about 330 or so chapters at the moment. If the trend keeps going, he’ll probably finish the novel when I’m finished translating. Apparently he improved in terms of the “magic” system and mechanics.

  15. Meatbun delivery~
    Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)

    i somehow skipped this chapter.. it seems this little chapter has escaped the cage too..

  16. well, its more of a hilarious plot armor, the Yao are always just a hair short and let the one guy that they shouldn’t let leave, leave due to a careless reason, probably felt the pressure of a higher being(cough cough, author) telling them that nah, they have completed their mission, no reason to do extra work.

  17. I honestly am rooting for him to somehow become the grand Emperor of this silly planet.

    1. Obviously through happenstance, coincidence, and a sheer shit load of luck and funny encounters of course.

  18. Freedom! Justice is served against Clear Sky Sect! Zuo Mu and friends just wanted to pass but they were trapped in Little Mountain Jie like livestock! Heartless!

  19. Aww Zuo Mo really consider her as his girl now huh?
    I wonder what Xiao Guai would think~~(∩ˊᵕˋ∩)・*

    And this is so awesome!!
    At first I was thinking the author spent so long on this arc eventhough it’s just a beginning, but this is really such a fantastic beginning! 😳
    I hope their lil city ruins become famous in the future, and it’d be nice if its mentioned in author’s other works.

    I’m happy they all decided to move out and so loyal to mc tho. Zuo Mo may not be the strongest xinxia mc but he’s one of the most likeable. Rong wei is right. He’s like their king xD

    Thanks for the chapter!🍀

  20. The yao army probably underestimate xiuzhe too much xD they arrived now and didn’t find zuo mo localization. They are probably thinking that the core disciple of wu kong sect wouldn’t possibly be in a caravan with a xiuzhe army xD

    1. Also, bruh….. they are in the corner of the map. Here jindan are the powerful ones, what king of people might have in the most important locations? Ningmai there might be the lowest in cultivation :”)

Tell me something
