Hearing Mo Tianji's reason of "buying time," Lan Buhui smiled slightly and didn't mind.
With me here watching in person, even if you buy time, what can you do? Just as you said, I actually hope you buy time, so that the Nine Calamities can gather together and strike in one blow!
Mo Tianji continued, "Therefore, the Lan Family has a great chance of making a comeback. However, after their resurgence, they will abandon old customs; this lesson is heavy enough. Hence, the Lan Family will be the hardest to deal with in the future. People say that tigers are fearsome, but a tiger has a den. As long as you avoid it, there is no problem. On the other hand, a pack of wolves without a fixed home is the most terrifying... because you never know where the wolves are."
"Moreover, this wolf pack has a terrifying alpha wolf!" Mo Tianji slightly raised his head, tilted his face, smiled gently at Lan Buhui, and said calmly, "A ninth rank supreme!"
"So, if Duxing can survive and if there's a chance, it's better to give up on dealing with other families' opportunities and first completely obliterate the resurgent Lan Family!"
"Because the Lan Family has already been awakened by us, while other families are still asleep, but the Lan Family won't remind them. Once they do, the Lan Family is done for..."
"Indeed." Lan Buhui nodded with a smile, "If they really knew my intentions, they wouldn't mind swallowing the Lan Family at the same time they devour the Li Family!"
Mo Tianji smiled slightly and said, "But when it reaches a certain point, when you're at a dead end, you will still speak. Or at that time, the Eight Great Families will be awakened because of you. If that's the case, the battle in the Nine Heavens will be postponed indefinitely, and there will be absolutely no way to settle it in the short term. It can only be a long-term effort, grinding, conquering, and killing bit by bit with pure strength!"
"So..." Mo Tianji smiled, "If you survive, first cripple the Lan Family!"
Gu Duxing slowly nodded, "I remember! If there’s a chance, the first to be killed must be the Lan Family, leaving not a blade of grass!"
Lan Buhui applauded, "Good insight! Good strategy! Good planning! Good mind!"
Four consecutive praises, truly heartfelt, each word was sincere.
"The Li Family is no longer a threat; this time, the various families have gathered in the northwest to deal with the Li Family, which is indeed suspicious. Logically speaking, the Li Family shouldn't act so rashly, but suddenly such a flaw has emerged... Regardless, this time the Li Family is doomed!"
In Mo Tianji's eyes, there was a hint of contemplation.
He was thinking, could the current situation of the Li Family have been planned and promoted by Chu Yang?
"Once the Li Family is destroyed, the various families will definitely share and consume the Li Family's resources... this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Mo Tianji showed a trace of regret in his eyes, "If it were up to me to plan, I could guarantee that the Eight Great Families would be in chaos, but unfortunately..."
"It's the Seven Great Families!" Lan Buhui corrected, "The Lan Family will not participate in the competition for interests."
Mo Tianji said faintly, "Even if the Lan Family has been weakened... at that time, the division of benefits won't be something your Ancestral Patriarch can decide not to participate in."
He smiled mockingly, "I have ten thousand ways to make you, the Ancestral Patriarch who keeps saying they won't participate, get involved!"
Lan Buhui was taken aback, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "I believe! You do have that ability, but unfortunately, you won't have that opportunity."
Mo Tianji's eyes revealed a strange smile. He looked at Lan Buhui and remained silent for a while.
Lan Buhui asked, "What are you looking at?"
Mo Tianji shook his head with a light laugh, his expression suddenly becoming a little looser, more relaxed and carefree: "Senior Lan, in the history of the Nine Heavens for the past hundred thousand years, has there ever been a case of a nine calamity sword master dying before unifying the Nine Heavens?"
