Gu Duxing was anxiously waiting, but saw Mo Tianji float over slowly, unable to suppress his frustration.
“Handled cleanly?” Mo Tianji asked through divine thought.
“Divine thought wrapped around it,” Gu Duxing replied coldly, “Everything is under my sword intent and divine thought, completely blocking the detection of other supreme beings.”
Mo Tianji snorted and said, “Don’t be careless!”
Gu Duxing snorted back, “No kidding! If I were as slow as you, I would have been discovered long ago.”
Mo Tianji smiled without speaking and then estimated the distance between the guest room and the main building of the Lan Family, his brows slightly furrowing.
There was nearly a hundred zhang between them, and this hundred zhang was a difficult heavenly abyss to cross!
If he detonated the explosives in the guest room, it would create large-scale chaos but wouldn't shake the foundation of the Lan Family.
The main building direction was the best place to target.
Mo Tianji observed with a frown for a moment before saying, “Duxing, look… the terrain of the Lan Family is generally like this. The main building is to the north, and… the northward slant is surrounded by the dragon vein. According to common feng shui layout, that must be the ancestral hall of the family.”
Gu Duxing was completely unaware of these details and responded, “Ah.”
Mo Tianji said calmly, “Generally speaking, the ancestral hall is extremely important for every family. However, because such places are somewhat eerie, not many people are willing to guard it. Thus… those who watch over such important places are unlikely to have high status…”
Gu Duxing nodded, knowing this to be true. The ancestral hall was only nominally supreme, but its actual value was equivalent to nothing.
A warehouse could store treasures, but the ancestral hall could only hold spirit tablets: who would be foolish enough to steal from there?
Thus, this place was very important internally for a family, but for outsiders, it was truly worthless. The absence of experts was expected.
“This is the least conspicuous place, but its overall position is the core of the Lan Family; detonating it here would yield the greatest effect,” Mo Tianji said lightly.
“Cough… this… blowing up their ancestors is a bit sinister,” Gu Duxing admitted that Mo Tianji’s words made sense but had concerns.
If the ancestral hall were blown up, it would be akin to digging up their ancestral grave, a major taboo in the Nine Heavens.
Mo Tianji rolled his eyes and said, “If you don’t blow up their ancestors, we won’t have the chance to become someone else’s ancestors… At such a moment, you’re actually being virtuous and humble…”
Gu Duxing could only smile bitterly.
Mo Tianji looked around, sensing carefully, and said, “About several dozen zhang away from the ancestral hall should be a warehouse. There, a treasure aura is swirling… but it’s not visible on the surface, likely underground.”
“Generally, such places are highly confidential… but the more secretive the place, the more important it is.”
“And then there’s the sleeping quarters of the Lan Family…” Mo Tianji calculated and finally made a decision, “Here’s the plan. I ask you to rush into the Lan Family ancestral hall within half a breath, and I’ll rush in with you. When you rush in, I’ll be precisely fifty zhang away…”
“You’ll immediately pour all the explosives out. Then, without stopping, come to my side. The moment you move will be when I launch my phosphor arrow… The moment you reach my side will be when the phosphor arrow ignites the powder… the first wave of the explosion will begin… and then we’ll leave together!”
Mo Tianji spoke methodically, “That way, it’ll create a shocking chaos. Even if someone discovers us at that time, they won’t have time to react…”
Gu Duxing gasped, “You’re crazy… that’s twenty-two thousand pounds of explosives. Once detonated, you and I will only be starting fifty zhang away… we can’t escape the coverage of the explosives.”
