Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy One – Mo Skill Steles

“Princess Xia?” Tao Xing was slightly shocked . “Why have you asked about Princess Xia?”

“Do you know her?” Zuo Mo instantly became alert .

“No . ” Tao Xing shook his head and said in self-mockery . “I might have some skill in mo embryos, but in the eyes of those truly great personages, I’m just someone that raises mo embryos . To them I’m not any different than a person who raises insects . ”

Zuo Mo was instantly disappointed but he still hurried to give comfort . “You are still very powerful . ”

At the side, Tang Fei’s expression became strange . It was the first time she had heard someone comfort another person like this . Didn’t he know that City Master was just being humble?

Tao Xing laughed and then warned, “Do not provoke Princess Xia . You were very rash today in provoking Lan Tian Long . However, Princess Xia’s background is deeper than Lan Tian Long’s . Look at how arrogant Lan Tian Long was at the city gates today . If Princess Xia was present, he would be docile . ”

“Who is Princess Xia?” Zuo Mo was confused, his face puzzled .

“Princess Xia comes from the ancient Anwei family and is much older than the Lan Family . The Anwei Family is one of the oldest families in Hundred Savage Realm . They have the most noble bloodline called the Anwei Bloodline . In history, they have produced sixteen marshal levels . You can imagine the glory of this family . ”

Tang Fei had a desirous expression . Sixteen marshals, such a powerful existence .

Tao Xing could not stop himself from warning again . “You have to be careful and not offend Princess Xia . The Anwei Family is an enormous entity that is truly at the top of the food chain . Right now, the leader of Anwei Family, Anwei Ming, is a mo marshal . They rule over seventy four mo jie!”

Hearing this, Zuo Mo was also frightened . One mo marshal ruling seventy four mo jie . A powerful family like this was really scary .

However, when he thought of Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng, Zuo Mo threw all the fear to the back of his head .

“Where is Princess Xia now?” Zuo Mo asked .

“I do not know this . ” Tao Xing spread his hands . He felt more and more admiration towards Zuo Mo . In his view, even though the other was too direct in his conduct, he was a very good young person .

“Anwei Family … …” Zuo Mo murmured .

In his consciousness, Pu Yao’s voice suddenly piped up . “I have a solution . ”

Zuo Mo was slightly surprised and looked suspiciously at Pu Yao . “What are you scheming now?”

Pu Yao said with a snicker . “The Anwei Family are old opponents! Hmph hmph, I had wanted to settle the debts from the past . I had not expected them to come to us!”

Murderousness brimmed in the bloody pupil .

Wei also came out and said with a smile . “A Zuo, in the past, we and Anwei Family had a little conflict . Oh, you will help us, right?”

Zuo Mo instantly felt his head swell up . “Can you not fool around at a time like this?”

“Don’t you want to save Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng?” Pu Yao snorted coldly . “We know everything about Anwei Family’ origins . We will help you find and save Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng, in return you will settle our debts with the Anwei Family . ”

Zuo Mo turned towards Wei .

Wei nodded crisply . “He is speaking the truth . ”

Pu Yao and Wei both nodded . This matter seemed reliable .

Zuo Mo nodded . “Alright! You help me, I’ll help you!”

However, he was gaping inside . It seemed this Anwei Family had seriously offended these two . More than a thousand years had passed, but they did not forget their grudge . Just how serious had this conflict been?

However, as long as he could rescue Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng, Zuo Mo let the two do what they wanted .

———

“Oh, Lan Tian Long really did not act?” Bu Heng asked coldly .

“Yes! This one learned this . Lan Tian Long remained peaceful, he even gave the slave to the leader of Guard Camp as well as a token, and he invited the other to his compound to drink,” the subordinate replied in great detail .

“It seems that this person is not so simple,” Bu Heng murmured to himself and sank into deep thought .

Originally, he had planned to challenge Zuo Mo when he entered Great Peace City and kill the other in the open to wash away the embarrassment on his clan . However, when he heard this news, he immediately realized that the situation was much more complex than he imagined .

Bu Heng was strong but he was more skilled as a battle general . His individual strength was not comparable to Lan Tian Long .

Lan Tian Long had a fiery temper but he was someone with brains . If he did not act in public, then there was something to ponder here .

If it was due to individual power, then it was even more unwise for Bu Heng to challenge the other . If it was any other reason that caused Lan Tian Long’s actions, then Bu Heng had to be even more careful .

If the other had a background that even Lan Tian Long had to worry about . Just the slightest carelessness could bring down a calamity that would destroy his clan .

As a gold battle general, Bu Heng was able to see the important connections .

The embarrassment was related to the morale of the soldiers, but offending those ancient families would bring extinction to his clan!

Not even a scrap would remain!

Familiar with history, Bu Heng knew that countless families had perished like that .

———

Zuo Mo walked along the street, Shu Long and the others a few steps behind him .

“Anwei Family will have a faction established in Great Peace City . ” Pu Yao’s tone was very certain . “That old man was right just now . The Anwei Family is full of talents and has produced many mo marshals . However, Anwei Family has never produced a king! Haa, Anwei Family has always had ambitions and this is the greatest thorn in their side . The desire of each generation of the Anwei Family has towards acquiring mo skills is something other families cannot compare too . They desire too much to have a breakthrough! The Mo Skills Steles placed in Great Peace City contain mo arts that can touch the power of the king level . How could they pass up on that?”

The more Zuo Mo heard, the more he felt that Pu Yao had a special understanding of the Anwei Family .

“This Shi Zi Ming is definitely a influential person to be able to teach mo marshals . ” Pu Yao who usually had his eyes high up expressed rare respect towards Shi Zi Ming . But then he smirked coldly . “However, it is not so easy to understand what people like him think . Shi Zi Ming’s Mo Skill Steles are real, but it is hard to say if visitors can read and understand their contents . When techniques and skills reach that level, it is very hard to describe them using language . ”

“And then?” Zuo Mo couldn’t help but ask .

“The people of Anwei Family are very smart . They cannot understand the steles but there will eventually be someone who can . I suspect that the construction of this Great Peace City was supported by the Anwei Family from the shadows . If this Great Peace City was built, the Mo Skills Steles were put up, many geniuses will gather and eventually someone would understand them . Ha, what is left to do is very simple . Either they pull the person into their Anwei Family, giving them enough mobei and beauties . If the person doesn’t obey, hee hee” Pu Yao laughed coldly .

Zuo Mo’s hairs stood up upon hearing this . “Aren’t there other people that see this?”

“Probably . ” Wei continued, “That Shi Zi Ming definitely knew this but he sees clearer than the Anwei Family . He only wants his succession to continue and he definitely did not believe that the Anwei Family would gain complete control because the other families are not stupid . Why have so many factions established themselves in Great Peace City? Because experts and geniuses will be produced here . Which family doesn’t need experts and geniuses? Why were there so many mo generals and marshals that helped out with the construction . Were they really repaying Shi Zi Ming out of gratefulness? No, it is because everyone saw the benefits . But this is where Shi Zi Ming was good . I have to admire how he used the powers!”

Hearing this, Wei sighed .

Zuo Mo finally understood . However, after the two exposed this, much of his admiration and reverence of Great Peace City dissipated . But he felt even more interested in Shi Zi Ming .

“We can use this to our advantage . ” Pu Yao snorted coldly and said, “If you go to the Mo Skills Steles and pretend to be intoxicated for a few days and act as though you have comprehended them, you will naturally attract the attention of all the factions, including the Anwei Family . Then you can throw out the information that you do not have any background . At that time, these factions will come to recruit you . You can make a few challenges to prove your strength . The Anwei Family definitely will not be able to sit still . At that time, they will give you whatever you want, not just Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng!”

“Pu, you are so cunning!” Zuo Mo sighed . He then asked, “But this does not guarantee that Princess Xia would come . What if they send someone else?”

“They won’t,” Wei came to explain . “Princess Xia of the Anwei Family is not a name, but a special identity . There will only be one princess in each generation . They hold many duties such as recruiting talents . Their arrival represents the Anwei Family . If you display enough skill, they will definitely come!”

“Do not say it so pleasantly . They are just a socialite, . ” Pu Yao inserted coldly .

Zuo Mo gaped on hearing this .

“Well, that’s true,” Wei said and nodded . “Before each generation of princess debuts in society, the family will try to increase her reputation . Making her the object of everyone’s attention and surrounding her with geniuses . After a decade of storms, they will choose a powerful family and marry her off . This is a marriage alliance . ”

Zuo Mo listened to this as though they were matters from a different world . He didn’t know what to say .

“Daren, we are at the Mo Skill Steles . ”

Shu Long’s voice interrupted Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo refocused and was instantly attracted by the spectacular scene in front of him .

There were rows of tall sword-like steles carved with clear characters . Even after three hundred years of wind and rain, they were pristine and whole as though they were newly carved . The stone steles formed a dense forest . Every stone stele was carved with characters .

These were the famous Great Peace Mo Skill Steles .

There were many mo studying below each mo skill stele . Some were copying down content . The mo that came here were at least colonel level . Brigadiers could be seen everywhere, and Zuo Mo saw several generals .

Gazing at such a spectacular stele forest, for some unknown reason, Zuo Mo felt admiration for Shi Zi Ming .

A person that did not have any mo skill to cultivate dared to carve his knowledge of power onto stone steles for the world to read, examine and judge .

The stone steles that pointed up into the sky suddenly became much taller in Zuo Mo’s eyes .

The mannerisms of the great ones in the past were so!
