Chapter 1503 Morning Rain from the Southeast

Seeing Li Jinglei returning to report, Mo Tianji listened to the briefing and quickly pretended to yawn, opening his mouth wide. He fiercely controlled his gaze, not revealing his strong surprise, but he still couldnt help the urge to curse in his heart. It was too absurd. Even if one had strong power, they shouldnt be treated like this.

In Mo Tianjis estimation, their sudden ambush this time would not result in significant losses for the Li family. At most, a dozen people would die, and their achievements would be glorious. But the current situation was the achievements were still glorious, but the number of dead had exceeded the expectations by twice! And there were still some who had lost arms and legs

Moreover, these were all due to accidents.

Mo Tianji swallowed his saliva, closed his mouth, and looked at Li Jinglei, who was saying, Its my fault, I was negligent, but had no remorse on his face. Mo Tianji finally smiled gently and comforted him, Its alright. Accidents happen, and its not your fault. There are accidents happening every day in the Nine Heavens. How can we blame Old Li?

Li Jinglei sighed and said, Its a pity that so many heroes of our clan have died. II will surely comfort their families! He apologized with a smile, Ill go prepare. For the people who died in battleI am willing to bear the expenses myself. Then he hurriedly left.

Mo Tianji easily noticed that as Li Jinglei turned around, the slight heaviness on his face completely disappeared, and his steps became lighter. Mo Tianji silently observed the expressions of the other high-ranking members of the Li family, and they all seemed relieved.

It seemed that everything had been resolved to their satisfaction, and they were pleased, relieved, and relaxed. Mo Tianji thought to himself: So, the Li family thinks that even if a supreme, high-level supreme dies, its just a matter of money to make up for it

Suddenly, he felt very sarcastic. Was this how they planned to deal with the lives of these experts who fought and died for them? Had they ever considered their families feelings, their bloodline inheritance, and their innocent grievances from dying unjustly?

They shouldnt have died! Your negligence caused so many people to die, and you take it so lightly?

Mo Tianjis face showed a gentle smile, but in his heart, he had already made a judgment about the Li family: the Li family had absolutely no future! No long-term prospects!

Li Wubo watched Li Jinglei leave, and the expression on his face gradually turned to worry.

He looked at Mo Tianji, and Mo Tianji smiled and said, Now, theres no other way. Get ready for a tough battle. Keep an eye on the enemys movements; report any signs of activity, no matter how small!

Alright! Li Wubo agreed and hesitated for a moment before asking, What does Brother Mo mean? Do they already suspect youre here from this incident?

Mo Tianjis eyes flickered and said, No, they wont suspect me alone, but they will suspect that I and my brothers are all here! A single slip of the tongue has led to this!

Li Wubo was speechless for a while, unable to find the right words. Although he had a strong urge to strangle Li Jinglei, he couldnt bring himself to say it out loud. The slip of the tongue Mo Tianji mentioned was Li Jingleis claim that there was absolutely no mole!

Li Jingleis intention with that statement was to muddy the waters: I say theres definitely no mole, do you really believe me? His intentions were good, but his intelligence wasnt enough. Using such a clumsy provocation against Diwu Qingrou was like a child trying to guess riddles with an adult: I have candy in my hand, guess how many pieces? If you guess right, Ill give you all three

It was like that! If he hadnt said it, things might have been better. If Diwu Qingrou hadnt reacted to it, he could have just killed himself With that one sentence, Li Jinglei had thrown away their greatest advantage!

How could Li Wubo not be furious and heartbroken?

Li Jinglei quickly composed himself and respectfully accompanied Mo Tianji back. Along the way, he praised Mo Tianji and expressed his desire to learn chess skills from him. Mo Tianji smiled but couldnt help but think he had made a mistake.

How great would it be if Dong Wushang were by his side instead of Rui Butong? Dong Wushang would definitely grab the talkative Li Jinglei by the collar and throw him out, while Rui Butong would just watch the show, building his happiness on Mo Tianjis suffering

Not long after Mo Tianji returned to the courtyard, Li Xiongtu came back, followed by several sleds carrying carriages. It was clear that Li Xiongtu had shown rare care in handling the parents of Meng Huanhuan. Seeing Li Jinglei in his courtyard, Li Xiongtu was a bit surprised, greeted him, and then helped the two elderly people off the carriage and arranged their accommodations.

After Li Xiongtu finished the arrangements, Li Jinglei smiled and said, Xiongtu, now that youve brought Miss Huanhuans parents here, you no longer have any worries, right?

Li Xiongtu gratefully said, Yes, I am infinitely grateful for the clans decision.

A flash of light flickered in Li Jingleis eyes, and he smiled, Well, now is a time of many troubles. The clan asked me to tell you that from now on, our family needs to fight with all our might.

Li Xiongtu loudly declared, Of course! I, Li Xiongtu, will never fall behind others.

Li Jinglei smiled and nodded, Alright!

Mo Tianji watched with cold eyes and sighed in his heart: Silly boy, to what extent will you let others take advantage of you

The situation on the main road became turbulent. At this moment, the seven major clans collectively turned their attention to the northwest battlefield, continuously sending reinforcements. The Xiao clan sent their elites, with their patriarch Xiao Chenyu personally heading north, causing quite a stir.

Xiao Chenlei, the second-in-command of the Xiao clan, disappeared in Popplar Valley in the southeast. After waiting for a long time without any news, Xiao Chenyu went to investigate himself but found no clues. Frustrated and furious, he went directly to the Chu clan in Flat Sand Ridge, seeking an audience with Feng Yue.

Feng Yue denied knowing anything about Xiao Chenleis disappearance, and facing the Chu clan supported by Feng Yue, Xiao Chenyu was left without any options. He reluctantly returned home. When he heard that the Nine Tribulations Sword Master and his allies appeared in the northwest, Xiao Chenyu remembered the recent appearance of the Nine Tribulations and wondered if his brothers disappearance had anything to do with the Sword Master. Could it really have nothing to do with Chu Yang?

However, the clan soon confirmed the news from the Middle Three Heavens that Gu Duxing, Mo Tianji, Luo Kedi, and others were part of the Nine Tribulations, and that Chu Yang from the Chu clan had close ties with them, almost inseparable.

Xiao Chenyu immediately concluded that if Chu Yang was not the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, he must be one of the Nine Tribulations! So, in reality, it was still related to Chu Yang. Finding Chu Yang would reveal the truth about his brothers whereabouts. With Feng Yue guarding the Chu clan, even the arrogant Xiao Chenyu dared not face Feng Yue alone, and when he used his divine sense to search the Chu clan, Chu Yang was not there.

Since the Nine Tribulations appeared in the northwest, Chu Yang must be there too! So, Xiao Chenyu headed to the northwest. As soon as Xiao Chenyu made his move, it created a stir. Everyone was watching the northwest quietly.

No one truly understood the deep bond between the brothers Xiao Chenyu and Xiao Chenlei; they were not only blood brothers but also lifelong confidants and comrades! They were each others spiritual pillars!

Xiao Chenyu traveled slowly from the southeast, riding in a carriage. Ye Chenchen, who had reached an agreement with him earlier, had already returned to the Ye clan. Before leaving, he warned Xiao Chenyu not to leave the southeast lightly.

However, Xiao Chenyu set out from the southeast on the fifth day after Ye Chenchen left. He sat motionless in the carriage with his eyes closed, surrounded by his personal guards, who were also his brothers-in-arms from years of life-and-death experiences.

Behind the carriage was the elite team of the Xiao clan!

Eight fine horses pulled the carriage, which had no curtains. Xiao Chenyu wouldnt allow anything to obstruct his view.

As the cold wind blew against his face, Xiao Chenyu remained motionless. With his eyes closed and a serene expression on his face, he was lost in memories of the past 9,000 years. Back then, their great father left the Xiao clans affairs to them and never returned.

He and his younger brother worked together to recruit talented people, develop their clan, and eventually become one of the nine great clans in the Nine Heavens. Generations continued this legacy, but it wasnt always smooth sailing. Many brothers fell or left over the years.

Despite these challenges, the Xiao clan had grown into a powerful force. Over the years, he and his brother supported each other through the ups and downs of life, never separating. When he was severely injured during the battle against the Poison Hand Demon, the divine doctor of Medicine Valley said he couldnt be saved. His brother stayed by his side, using his own strength to heal him multiple times a day. He even used half of the Xiao clans fortune to exchange for a piece of Sky-Replenis.h.i.+ng Jade from Medicine Valley.

His brother sacrificed part of his own soul to remove the aura of life and death from the jade, turning it into a divine medicine. After taking it, Xiao Chenyu was saved, but at the cost of his brothers potential. From then on, his brother was stuck at the early stage of the Ninth-Rank Supreme, with no hope of advancing further.

Now, his brother had gone missing. Xiao Chenyu refused to believe that his brother was dead, insisting that he had only disappeared. Ever since the Nine Tribulations Sword re-emerged, the Xiao clan faced constant turmoil. Younger generations died one after another, and his eldest son, Xiao Se, perished in battle at the Heavenly Secret City.

Thinking of his sons birth and the emotions he felt holding him for the first time, Xiao Chenyu sighed, his spirits dampened. Now, his son was dead, but he was still alive. His brother was missing, and he was still here. The clan was in a precarious state, but he remained.

Perhaps Ive lived too long, Xiao Chenyu took a deep breath and sighed. His facial muscles twitched, and he muttered, If my brother is really dead, then I will take revenge even if it means slaughtering the entire world!

My brother was an extraordinary man. If even he is gone, then what right do these insignificant, foolish people have to live longer than him?

His mood s.h.i.+fted, and an overwhelming aura of malice suddenly appeared, blanketing the skies for miles. In that moment, the area they pa.s.sed through fell silent as a graveyard.
