A shadow flashed beside him and said, "Yes. Currently, the Li Family controls the entire northwest, and all the affiliated families have united to form an ironclad defense! The surroundings are on high alert, allowing no one in or out. They have drawn a bloody line, stating that anyone who crosses this line will die!"
The Law Sovereign's long hair stood on end without wind: "What audacity!"
The shadow's voice was calm and steady: "I suspect that our enforcement branch in the northwest may have been uprooted completely."
"Those who entered the Li Family have probably already been purged. Moreover, Lang Yilang, the Lang Chief, pursued the heavenly demon accomplices into the northwest but was ruthlessly killed by the Li Family. This is beyond doubt."
The Law Sovereign nodded slowly.
The shadow continued, "From my analysis, the sudden strength of the Li Family must have its reasons!"
The Law Sovereign inquired, "Oh?"
The shadow said, "Master Law Sovereign, the Li Family has been enduring and compromising for a long time, but this time they have become inexplicably aggressive!"
"But today, I suddenly understood."
The Law Sovereign's expression remained unchanged as he said, "You mean..."
"Yes! It is indeed related to the nine calamity sword master! The Li Family suddenly became aggressive, and right after they launched their attack, the nine calamity sword master happened to obtain the sixth section of the Nine Calamity Sword, opening the passage to the Nine Heavens and beginning the true path of conquest for the nine calamity sword master!"
"You mean the Li Family knew about this several months in advance..." The Law Sovereign's gaze was distant.
"Exactly!" The shadow chuckled faintly, "I really can't think of any other reason that could drive the Li Family to act so frantically against the Eight Great Families and the enforcers!"
The Law Sovereign paced a few steps, furrowing his brow, and said, "I remember you never believed Li Xiong Tu was one of the nine calamities."
The shadow felt a bit awkward, and his previously steady voice finally wavered: "Well... I didn't dare to believe it before, that the nine calamities would be exposed like this. But the Li Family's actions this time are clearly serving as a precursor for the nine calamity sword master; if I hadn't thought of that, I would have..."
The Law Sovereign pondered for a moment and said, "I do have some doubts... I always feel that Li Xiong Tu is not one of the nine calamities... However, since things have reached this point, regardless of whether he is or not, the Li Family must be eliminated!"
The shadow said gravely, "Yes. If he is not one of the nine calamities, then such chaos is a blatant act of rebellion and a grave sin. If he is indeed one of the nine calamities, eliminating him would also sever the great crisis of their gathering!"
"Exactly!" The Law Sovereign nodded lightly. Then he asked, "What about the Eight Great Families?"
The shadow reported, "All the Eight Great Families have already dispatched secret forces to the northwest and have sent letters requesting our enforcers to assist in exterminating the Li Family. Except for the Chen Family, which got into trouble on the way and lost about forty to fifty people to Wuzhuo City, the other families are intact in strength."
He paused and added, "The Lan Family is slightly weaker!"
"Mm." The Law Sovereign nodded. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly gave an order: "Convey my order: All enforcers across the land, immediately take action! Deploy all divisions of the hunting hall and the dark hall! Send one-third of the elder hall! Collaborate with the Eight Great Families, concentrate all forces, and first destroy the Li Family!"
"Yes!"
"Go! Wait!" The Law Sovereign pondered, his expression somewhat complex: "What about the person I asked you to pay attention to?"
The shadow paused: "Are you referring to... Diwu Qingrou?"
"Exactly." The Law Sovereign said, "Send a message to the Zhuge family and have Diwu Qingrou rush to the Law Enforcement Hall. Then, this encirclement battle will be commanded entirely by Diwu Qingrou!"
