“Naturally reliable.” Mo Tianming said indifferently, “This news comes from an insider that my Mo family has cultivated within the royal palace for decades, and it has been circulating for not just a year or two, but we have been unable to confirm it until now, which is why it was not mentioned.”
“Unconfirmed?” Yan Wuji and the others looked grim; how could such news be fabricated casually?
“Although it is unconfirmed, my Mo family has been secretly observing.”
At this, Mo Tianming smiled faintly, “In fact, not long ago, after I learned about the difficulties faced by the Leng family, I vaguely felt that this matter should not be wrong.”
“My Leng family is in trouble?” Leng Pogong was astonished.
“Indeed, do you all still remember that the Leng family was sealed off because they sold new type pills? Leng Pogong’s ancestor wanted to eliminate Qin Chen from the Chen Di Pavilion, but was stopped by Fu Xingcheng from the Emperor Star Academy, and even Liu Xuanrui wanted to punish the Leng family. At that time, several of you, including Yan Wuji, intervened to plead for the Leng family. That time, the royal family's face was completely lost. Under normal circumstances, if Liu Tai were unharmed, would you all be so arrogant? No response at all? In the end, Liu Xuanrui left in silence, unwilling to stay. If Liu Tai that old fellow was fine, do you think it would be so simple?”
“In that case, you should understand why I have been hesitant to agree before, but this time I unexpectedly agreed, right?”
“Moreover, think about it, how long has it been since we heard any news from Liu Tai that old fellow?” Mo Tianming smiled.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes narrowed.
Looking back now, it was indeed somewhat strange.
Liu Tai, with a fiery temper and eccentric personality, was not someone who could endure in silence.
Normally, if something happened, he would have already made a strong appearance, suppressing it with might.
However, for over twenty years, Liu Tai seemed to have vanished without a trace, with no news of him whatsoever.
That would be fine, after all, there hadn't been any major events within the dynasty in recent years.
But not long ago, news came out that the Leng family had taken a hard stance against the royal family, and yet Leng Pogong made no move at all.
This was indeed extremely peculiar.
With Liu Tai's character, he should have already made a strong appearance, furious beyond measure.
Could it be that Liu Tai, as Mo Tianming said, had already been seriously injured and was on the brink of death?
If that were the case, then...
Leng Pogong and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with ecstatic light.
“Thank you, Ancestor Mo, for the reminder. Since Ancestor Mo has come to this realization and wishes to join us, we naturally welcome you. However, we also need to make some preparations, so please wait for good news,” Leng Pogong said with a cupped fist.
“Good, then I will take my leave. Don’t forget what you promised me in the letter, Ancestor Leng,” Mo Tianming cupped his hands and did not linger, turning to leave the Leng family.
Once Mo Tianming left, the intelligence agencies of the Leng family, Wuji Sect, Wu family, and Guiyuan Sect instantly sprang into action.
They were primarily investigating two matters.
The first: what exactly was Qin Chen going to Xuanzhou for.
The second: whether what Mo Tianming said was true.
The Leng family and other forces had managed the dynasty for so many years, so they were still quite well-informed. It would be difficult for them to gather intelligence aimlessly, but now that they had a target, verifying it became much simpler.
Soon, various clues began to gather.
First, Qin Chen's destination in Xuanzhou did not seem to be his hometown in the Five Nations, but rather the location of the Liuxian Sect in Xuanzhou.
Because the Liuxian Sect secretly sent people to the Daqi Kingdom, intending to do something against his relatives, Qin Chen, in a fit of rage, aimed to eliminate the Liuxian Sect entirely.
