Chu Yang sped southward.
He finally understood why many people on the street were hurrying north—they were on their way to participate in the battle to exterminate the Li Family. It turned out that the Law Sovereign had issued a decree to annihilate the Li Family.
Chu Yang was certainly interested in the extermination of the Li Family, but he felt that his priority was to support his brothers and to find Xie Danfeng in the next three days. As for the Li Family... he could deal with that later.
Chu Yang was unaware that, at the moment he set off, many others were already on their way.
For example, Tan Tan, Young Master Wei, Mo Tianji, Gu Duxing, and others...
Chu Yang raced through the air. In the afternoon, as dusk was approaching, he suddenly discovered a cavalry troop approaching down the road.
Among the cavalry, a horse-drawn carriage came rushing forward with its wheels clattering.
Chu Yang sidestepped to the roadside, and the cavalry whizzed past; as the carriage passed by him, by coincidence, a curtain of the carriage opened slightly.
Two pairs of eyes met, locking gazes.
Both individuals showed expressions of surprise.
Then, a command rang out: “Stop!”...
Within the Zhuge Family’s convoy heading north, Diwu Qingrou sat calmly in the carriage.
He didn’t know why the Law Sovereign specifically called for him to command, nor did he know what had happened in between. Yet, he cherished this opportunity greatly.
Thus, he had come.
Traveling along the road heading northwest, Diwu Qingrou felt a bit regretful.
Because the Nine Calamity Sword sixth section had emerged, and the Nine Heavens Passage had already opened.
In fact, what Diwu Qingrou wanted to do the most was to carefully analyze every person passing through the Nine Heavens during this time. Then, find each Nine Calamity. Slowly verifying his speculations into reality would be the greatest thrill.
Moreover, Diwu Qingrou had made all necessary preparations.
Only by grasping the true identities of the Nine Calamity could he negotiate terms with the Nine Calamity Sword Master and stand on an equal footing.
He had planned for this for a long time; but he never imagined that a decree from the Law Sovereign would transfer him from the south, hastily rushing north to become the supreme commander of the allied forces of the Eight Great Families and the enforcers!
This was like stepping straight into the heavens!
Diwu Qingrou had confidence and certainty that as long as he commanded properly, this victory would undoubtedly be magnificent. The achievements would be monumental. Moreover, it could potentially establish a lasting foundation for the Fifth Family.
For him, it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
You cannot have both the bear’s paw and the fish.
But Diwu Qingrou quickly made his choice: trust the Law Sovereign!
Because the Law Sovereign’s status was worlds apart from his own. He had no reason to play tricks on him; all of this was real. However... judging the Nine Calamity remained somewhat ethereal for him.
And that Nine Calamity Sword Master was certainly not easy to deal with.
But on the Law Sovereign’s side, everything was already confirmed.
Diwu Qingrou sighed deeply. Unconsciously feeling a bit stifled in the carriage, he opened a gap in the curtain.
Unbeknownst to him, at that moment, a figure by the roadside met his gaze.
In an instant, both felt the same sensation: No way? What a coincidence?
...
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going northwest.”
“What for?”
“To be the supreme commander. And you? Where are you going?”
“I’m going southwest.”
“What for?”
“For fun.”
...
The two exchanged knowing smiles.
Chu Yang smiled, “I actually miss the next three days.”
Diwu Qingrou nodded, “Likewise.”
“It seems... another battle is about to commence?” Chu Yang tilted his head with interest.
“Yeah, if so... it may be unavoidable.” Diwu Qingrou smiled warmly.
“Fighting against you can be a bit exhausting...” Chu Yang chuckled, “So, you’ll have new opponents. Of course, this is assuming that you succeed in going northwest.”
