Hey guys! I've got a new fanfic translation for you. Give it a read and let me know what you think—should I keep going with this one?

Inside the commander's tent of the Jia Ma Empire's military camp, Grand Marshal Mo Ya stood before a massive map, a strange smile hanging on his face.
"As long as this plan succeeds, I will obtain a High-Level Xuan Grade cultivation technique. At that time, I will also be able to become a Dou Huang. Hai Bodong, I won't let you and your Mittel Clan keep pressing down on my head forever!"
A low murmur escaped Mo Ya's mouth inadvertently.
At this moment, Mo Ya was actually similar to Yun Shan from the original story—stuck at the peak of Nine-star Dou Wang for so long that he had become obsessed.
Because he couldn't break through, his entire being had become demonic. Therefore, the things he was doing now were things he would never have dared to imagine in the past!
Once, he was indeed loyal to the Jia Ma Empire, but now?
To break through to Dou Huang, he was willing to do anything!
"Report! Grand Marshal, things are bad! Half a corpse suddenly appeared at the camp gate, and there is a letter on the body. General Wu does not dare to make a decision and asks you to go handle it!"
At this moment, a messenger arrived at the tent to report.
"What?"
Hearing the news, Mo Ya's heart suddenly skipped a beat. For some reason, an ill omen surged into his heart.
"Take me there quickly!"
Without any hesitation, Mo Ya walked directly toward the camp entrance. Soon, arriving at the gate, Mo Ya saw the half-corpse.
"Grand Marshal!"
General Wu had just called out when he was cut off by a wave of Mo Ya's hand.
He had no time to listen to his subordinate's chatter right now. However, when Mo Ya saw the appearance of that half-corpse, his entire face turned even darker!
Creak.
At the same time, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. Although it was only half a body, Mo Ya clearly recognized him. This person was the contact placed by the Chu Yun Empire by his side.
One must know that just a few hours ago, he had instructed this contact to send back the news that Xiao Lin and Mu Chen were about to rescue Nalan Jie and the others. But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this contact had been split into two and sent back!
Without even looking, he knew that his connection with the Chu Yun Empire had likely been discovered by someone. Thinking of this, his first thought was whether he should just defect to the Chu Yun Empire directly.
As for the Yinter Clan behind him?
Heh, as long as he, a Dou Wang, was still around, even if he went to the Chu Yun Empire, he could build another Yinter Clan!
However, this thought was quickly suppressed.
"No, regarding the deal between me and the Chu Yun Empire, no one around me knows. That person in the dark has now killed the contact, so what am I afraid of? Even if the Imperial Family asks, at worst I'll just deny it."
"Who can do anything to me? Moreover, since he sent this half-corpse back, he must want something. I can't scare myself."
It must be said, Mo Ya deserved his title as the Grand Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire for so many years; he quickly figured everything out and calmed down rapidly. It was certain that the person in the dark had a motive, but what that person wanted, he wasn't clear about yet.
But soon, his gaze was drawn to a letter on the half-corpse.
"That letter, no one has touched it, right?"
Having calmed down, Mo Ya inquired.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, from the moment this half-corpse appeared until you arrived, no one has approached it, and no one has touched that letter!"
General Wu stepped forward to reply.
"Very good. Handle this half-corpse as quickly as possible, then increase the manpower for patrols nearby to see if any suspicious people are lurking about."
"Yes!"
After instructing his subordinates, Grand Marshal Mo Ya took the letter from the half-corpse and returned to the commander's tent.
Upon returning, Mo Ya impatiently opened the letter. He saw only a few short lines written on it: If you don't want your collusion with the Chu Yun Empire to be made public, meet at the Black Rock Mountain Range at midnight tonight!
After finishing the letter, Mo Ya gritted his teeth and squeezed the paper into a ball. With a jolt of Dou Qi, he shattered it into fine dust.
"Damn it, it really is aimed at me! Who exactly is it?"
A low growl escaped Mo Ya's throat.
Although he could ignore the contents of this letter—after all, there was no direct evidence of his collusion with the Chu Yun Empire—if such a thing were spread, it would inevitably bring all sorts of trouble.
Not to mention anything else, being investigated by the Imperial Family was a certainty!
If things went poorly and the Chu Yun Empire decided to "burn the bridge after crossing it," he might truly be finished.
After all, his cooperation with the Chu Yun Empire was to help them win this war and bury the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire in the process. Yes, in this battle, the Chu Yun Empire didn't plan on keeping prisoners like before; they planned to wipe them all out!
In this way, the strength of the Jia Ma Empire would suffer a generational gap. In another few decades, the Chu Yun Empire would be able to directly destroy the Jia Ma Empire. This was the plan of the Chu Yun Empire's royalty.
Grand Marshal Mo Ya's choice to collude with them actually had two goals.
First was to obtain a High-Level Xuan Grade cultivation technique from the Chu Yun Empire. Second was to eliminate the heirs of the Xiao, Nalan, and Mu Clans—three Clans with the hope of producing a Dou Wang in the future.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two sides could be said to have happened instantly. But now that the plan had been seen through by someone, Mo Ya was naturally a bit anxious. Thinking it over, Mo Ya finally decided to go meet this mysterious person.
The reason Mo Ya had this confidence was still due to his own strength.
In his view, this mysterious person doing such sneaky things obviously meant either their strength was inferior to his own, or they didn't intend to expose the matter and just wanted to get some benefits from him.
Since that was the case, he might as well go to the appointment and adapt to the situation as it came.
"I hope your strength is enough to match your greed, otherwise..."
Though the remaining words weren't spoken, it was clear that Mo Ya had developed murderous intent.
The part following "otherwise" was certainly the routine of killing to silence the witness. When one's schemes are seen through, normally, killing the witness is definitely the priority. After all, he didn't want to keep a handle in someone else's hands forever, right?
Just like that, Mo Ya began to wait quietly for the arrival of midnight.
Oh, right—the so-called Black Rock Mountain Range was actually the place where Nalan Jie and the others were trapped, and it was also the location where Xiao Lin and Mu Chen were originally rushing toward.
Although the choice of this location made Mo Ya feel that something was slightly off, he ultimately just chalked it up to a warning from the mysterious person. One must know that Nalan Jie and the others were trapped in the Black Rock Mountain Range precisely because of his plotting.
Now that the mysterious person had set the meeting place at the Black Rock Mountain Range, in Mo Ya's view, wasn't it a way of telling him that the person knew he was the one behind the plot?
Therefore, Mo Ya didn't think too deeply about it in the end.
On the other side, after Xiao Lin sent the half-corpse of the Chu Yun Empire's poison master to Mo Ya, the remaining half was naturally sent back to the Chu Yun Empire. Similarly, Xiao Lin left a letter on the other half-corpse.
However, on that letter, the meeting time Xiao Lin set with the other party was half an hour later than the one set with Mo Ya.
This half-hour time difference was exactly what Xiao Lin needed!
