Gu Duxing was somewhat dismissive of Mo Tianji's excessive caution, saying, "You're overthinking it. In my view, while the nine great clans are powerful, they aren't anything extraordinary. The so-called accumulation of ten thousand years is just a joke."
He smiled coldly and continued, "Of course, there are many masters, but according to the current situation, we just lack some time... At least, they haven't seen through your schemes."
Mo Tianji's expression darkened, revealing genuine concern in his eyes.
He propped himself up with difficulty and said solemnly to Gu Duxing, "Old Gu Er, your way of thinking is very dangerous! You are a crucial person among our brothers. If you take things lightly... the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Gu Duxing replied sharply, "In the beginning, it was just me and the boss, one sword, racing across ten thousand miles! We started from nothing and gradually grew stronger! Now... we've already taken the first step!"
"Ten thousand years of inheritance have already been destroyed!"
Mo Tianji interjected, "Do you know why they fell so easily?"
Gu Duxing replied indifferently, "The Nine Calamity Sword Master appears once every ten thousand years; this is known among all the clans. They should have been prepared, yet at the critical moment, they were still so lacking. How can you expect me to respect them?"
Mo Tianji sighed heavily and gazed upwards thoughtfully for a long while, saying, "Duxing, let me talk to you about the nine great clans... I need to change your mindset first; otherwise, if you continue like this, one day you will make a hasty decision that will send all our brothers to their doom!"
Gu Duxing coldly responded, "Go ahead."
Outside, Lan Buhui had initially intended to strike, but upon hearing Mo Tianji's words, he couldn't help but stop.
From their conversation, it was clear that one of them was likely a sage among the Nine Calamity, while the other was akin to a sharp sword, full of vigor and dominance.
Lan Buhui could disregard anyone's opinion, even that of the Nine Calamity Sword Master; however, the evaluation and perspective of the sage within the Nine Calamity regarding the nine great clans was something he had to heed.
Throughout history, every sage among the Nine Calamity could crush the heavens barehanded, transforming nothing into something!
These sages, regardless of which one, if utilized in a dynasty struggle, would undoubtedly be underappreciated!
They were truly heavenly geniuses!
Now, although the Lan family had been destroyed, there were still people in the lower three days, over thirty supremes survived, and members dispatched to the northwest, including sixty to seventy supremes!
Such strength could easily rise again, even without a base!
Mo Tianji's assessment was critically important, especially at this moment.
...
Mo Tianji paused for a moment and asked, "How long have we been here?"
Gu Duxing replied, "It's already midnight, and the sky outside is beginning to brighten."
Mo Tianji fell silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Since the elder has come, why stand outside? The wind and frost are heavy, isn't that hard? Please, come in and talk. As for grievances and hatreds, we can discuss them afterward."
Gu Duxing stood up, hand on his sword: Did the enemy really come? That can't be possible... With my evasion skills, even Chu Yang wouldn't be able to keep up with me...
Outside, Lan Buhui was also surprised: Did he notice me? How could he possibly notice me? With his insignificant cultivation level and while still injured, how could he discover me?
Could it be a trick?
Lan Buhui immediately affirmed in his heart: It must be a trick!
Stay calm and still. I have merged with heaven and earth. Even if you were to come face to face, it would be impossible for you to see me, how could you sense me?
This, Lan Buhui was absolutely confident about.
Mo Tianji listened for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It seems the elder is not giving me face... Hehe. Afraid I might be tricking you?"
