Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1484 Tianji – Qingrou, First Battle

 

Especially Dong Wushang and the other four, who were careless and lazy.
No wonder Mo Tianji often said, “I worry about these few guys every day.
Sooner or later, our strategist will become old before his time.” The enemy can't torture me, but these useless people can exhaust me…

 

After resting for a while, everyone bid farewell.

 

Gu Yigu did not keep them and sent them out the door.

 

“Have a safe journey!” Gu Yigu waved to the eleven people as they walked away.

 

“Don't worry, we'll meet again soon!” Chu Yang waved back, and in the blink of an eye, the eleven people disappeared on the top of the snowy mountain.

 

Gu Yigu scratched his head and muttered to himself, “You're going where I'm not going, how can we meet again soon?”

 

…

 

In the midst of a heavy snowfall.

 

The campsite of the eight major families stood silently.

 

Diwu Qingrou stood at the entrance of the tent, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao Zhuangyan and Shi Qishu had been gone for two days…
and they still hadn't come back.

 

Diwu Qingrou was not worried about the other two, but he was hoping for one person: Chu Yang! If Chu Yang didn't come, the pressure from the other side would be too small to form any real resistance.

 

“It's been so long already, and with such a great opportunity to cause chaos in the world, how could the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword not seize it…
Why is there still no movement?” Diwu Qingrou wondered to himself.

 

His thoughts then turned to the mysterious person who had been manipulating things: “Who could it be…
using this to their advantage? Could it really be…
someone who is truly helping me?”

 

Standing still for a long time, Diwu Qingrou didn't move.

 

Little did he know, just a moment ago, ten or so figures had flown past the right side of the camp, like a breeze, and floated into the northwest!

 

The Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword that Diwu Qingrou was eagerly awaiting…
had already arrived!

 

Under the leadership of Chu Yang and the planning of Mo Tianji, they were like a sharp arrow, piercing deep into the northwest snowfield!

 

Of course, they had noticed the camps of the Eight Great Clans, but now was not the time for them to strike…
and besides, the other side's strength was formidable, so Mo Tianji had no intention of engaging them head-on.

 

Mo Tianji's real plan was to use the Li Family's power as much as possible and engage in a war of attrition with the Eight Great Clans!

 

The more high-level masters they could wear down, the better!

 

Now that things had reached this point, not even Chu Yang could guess what was going on inside Mo Tianji's mind.

 

The snowflakes in the sky were thick and dense.

 

Chu Yang discovered that the places that were emptied and the mountains that were overturned the last time he was here are now covered in silver and white.
One place that was fresh in Chu Yang's memory was now covered in seven to eight zhangs of snow, showing that the heavens had been busy with heavy snowfall during this period.

 

All eleven people were dressed in white clothes.
Under Chu Yang's insistence, Mo Qingwu's red dress also turned into a white snow-like garment.
The small wind fox was still sleeping in Mo Qingwu's pocket, but a small tail had grown on its buttocks.

 

Chu Yang was amazed.
He couldn't believe how much good food this little guy had eaten.
Was it planning to sleep until it reached its peak?

 

After resting three times, they had already flown two thousand li deep into the area.
Even though they were far enough from the main base of the Li family, Mo Tianji remained cautious and instructed everyone to fly as close to the ground as possible, leaving no traces.

 

While flying at high speed, they suddenly heard a loud noise ahead.
In this icy and snowy environment, someone was fighting?

 

Chu Yang waved his hand and all eleven people lay down on the snow surface in an orderly manner.
The sound grew louder, and it was moving in their direction.

 

The sound of weapons clashing!

 

Someone was raging and cursing, and Chu Yang vaguely heard someone say, “Who are you? Who are you? Are you from the Li family?”

 

Immediately, there was a sinister laughter.
The sound of the wind suddenly became louder, but everyone knew that it wasn't the wind getting stronger, but the people fighting getting closer and closer to this place.
The sound of their fight mixed with the power of heaven and earth, causing the wind to double in strength!

 

Mo Tianji frowned and thought for a moment, exchanging a glance with Chu Yang.
Chu Yang slowly nodded.

 

Both of them understood that since there was fighting here, it must be between the eight major families and the Li family, with perhaps even the enforcers involved.
Regardless of which side it was, they were all enemies to them, but also opportunities!

 

Chu Yang turned his head.
Mo Tianji extended both hands and pointed to the left and right.

 

Chu Yang, Gu Du Xing, Mo Qingwu, Ji Mo, and Luo Kedi silently moved to the left, and immediately the white snow rolled over, burying the five of them under the snow.

 

Mo Tianji, Dong Wushang, Ao Xieyun, Xie Danqiong, Rui Butong, and Mo Leier remained in place on the right side.
A road was cleared in the middle, about forty to fifty yards wide.

 

With a swooshing sound, a white figure rushed over like lightning, with another white figure beside him, but covered in blood.

 

Behind them, there were two figures flying in the air on each side, and one of them sneered as he descended, saying, “Xiao Zhengyan, since you've come to us, do you still want to leave? Stay and play with us!”

 

The tall and thin figure in front was indeed Xiao Zhengyan of the Xiao family, who angrily replied upon hearing this, “You're really from the Li family!”

 

The figure in white laughed and replied in a harsh tone, “Obviously!”

 

And with that, he descended upon them.

 

Xiao Zhengyan dodged and his companion Shi Qishu rushed over.
The two of them yelled and turned back without engaging in combat, trying their best to flee!

 

Suddenly, a big hand from midair clapped, causing a crack in the air that sounded like the breaking of glass.
It extended in all directions, creating a black hole.

 

However, Xiao Zhengyan and Shi Qishu had already fled.

 

But how could Chu Yang let them go?

 

If they escaped, where would the show be?

 

With a thought, his sword spirit rushed out of the Ninth Tribulation Space and invisibly blocked their path of escape.

 

The two had just fled twenty zhang when suddenly a strong killing intent rose up in front of them.
They were caught off guard and unable to dodge in time.
The killing intent was already rushing towards them and seemed to have a pair of hands.

 

The left hand pressed against Xiao Zhengyan's forehead and the right hand pressed against Shi Qishu's shoulder, then with a forceful push, the two of them screamed and stumbled, shouting, “There's a ghost!” Their souls seemed to have left their bodies.

 

The swordsman used a phantom attack, although the enemy could not harm him, he could not harm them either.
However, it was enough to obstruct them.
With just this obstruction, the four white-clothed men flew and landed in front of Xiao Zhongyang and Shi Qishu, sneering, “Xiao Zhongyang, Shi Qishu, you can't escape now!”

 

Shi Qishu looked ahead with fear in his eyes, his lips trembling and turning pale.
“Is…
is it a ghost?”

 

“The hell with ghosts!” The leader of the white-clothed masked men waved his hand.
“Take them out!”

 

The four of them attacked together!

 

Xiao Zhongyang and Shi Qishu were unnerved and immediately fell into a disadvantage.

 

They had just felt a cold hand touch their foreheads, and the force was clearly tangible, but now they opened their eyes and saw nothing, causing them to panic.

 

They were also in the midst of a fierce battle and could not concentrate, so they were completely beaten.

 

But the four white-clothed men were also anxious and cursing like crazy.

 

They didn't really want to kill Xiao Zhongyang and Shi Qishu, they just wanted to keep pressure on them.
Now, these two idiots didn't run away and were just standing there stupidly…

 

Aren't they asking for death?

 

It's fine if they want to die, but don't ruin our plan.

 

Over there, Chu Yang and Mo Tianji were communicating through telepathy.

 

“What's the plan?” It was Chu Yang speaking.

 

“Should we leave these two here?” Mo Tianji's voice followed.
“These two are important figures from the Nine Great Families.
If we keep them here, it will be helpful for our future plans.”

 

Chu Yang pondered for a moment.
“But I'm not sure…
one thing is certain though, these four people are definitely not from the Li family! I've met almost all the experts from the Li family before.”

 

Mo Tianji fell silent for a moment, seeming shocked by Chu Yang's words.
Then he said, “Not from the Li family? But they're pretending to be the Li family to ambush us?”

 

“Yes,” Chu Yang frowned.

 

Mo Tianji asked, “So, what is their purpose…
or rather, what's their plan? Could it be related to Diwu Qingrou?”

 

Chu Yang wondered, “That's the problem.
Diwu Qingrou doesn't have such experts!”

 

Mo Tianji immediately frowned.

 

When he heard about this situation, he immediately felt that something was wrong!

 

Mo Tianji thought for a moment and then said slowly, “Although we can't be sure about Diwu Qingrou's strength…
can you be certain that he doesn't have such experts?”

 

Chu Yang was taken aback.
“I can't be certain!”

 

Mo Tianji's eyes flickered with a sharp light as he said slowly, “Although we can't be certain, I know for sure that there is some connection to Diwu Qingrou! That's why I've decided that this chance encounter will be my first battle with Diwu Qingrou!”

 

“The first battle!” Chu Yang's heart stirred.

 

“So fast, so early…
Is it really coming?” Chu Yang focused on the battle circle and said, “Tianji, have you figured it out? These four people…
haven't used their killing moves at all! Although their killing intent is strong…
I have a feeling that they don't really want to kill these two!”

 

Mo Tianji said, “That's right.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that Diwu Qingrou is using this as an opportunity to act.”

 

No matter what Chu Yang said, Mo Tianji was determined that it was Diwu Qingrou who was behind this.

 

“Apply pressure?” Chu Yang muttered to himself.

 

Mo Tianji suddenly spoke urgently, “In any case, we have to stir up trouble this time.
It's certain that these four people don't want to kill these two, but…
we can't let them have their way!”

 

Chu Yang asked, “What do you mean? Should we intervene and save these two people?”

 

Mo Tianji's eyes flashed and he decisively said, “One dies, and one returns…
that would be the best situation!”

 

Chu Yang's eyes lit up, “Great plan!”

 

The battle in the field had already reached a white-hot stage.
Xiao Zhuangyan and Shi Qishu quickly adjusted their mentality.
Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they dare not be distracted anymore.

 

But the situation had become unfavorable, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't turn the tide.

 

At this moment, Mo Tianji's voice transmitted through their ears, “Now!”
