Seeing Lan Mofeng seated beneath Diwu Qingrou, the supreme masters felt that this Lan Mofeng was somewhat different from the one they had known earlier, though they couldn't quite articulate how.
However, none of them would be naive enough to think that Diwu Qingrou could sway Lan Mofeng with just a few words.
Each of them was an eighth grade supreme master.
Their resolve was incredibly strong; they wouldn’t flinch even if a mountain collapsed in front of them, and the pain of life and death was merely a commonplace occurrence. How could they be swayed by just a few words from someone?
Thus, they did not dwell on it any further.
Yet, they did not realize that the destruction of one's family was a heavy blow for anyone. At this moment, a warm word could leave a lasting impression for a lifetime!
What could compare to sending coal in the snow?
Moreover, Diwu Qingrou's words had allowed Lan Mofeng, who felt like he was sinking, to puff his chest out again in this group.
Diwu Qingrou had given him dignity.
This, of course, could not buy Lan Mofeng’s allegiance, but in the days to come, Diwu Qingrou would leave a trustworthy impression in his heart.
With Diwu Qingrou's capabilities, as long as she was given time and opportunity, she could definitely transform this momentary gratitude into control!
Once Lan Mofeng was seated, Diwu Qingrou smiled and spoke, “Everyone, this matter is unexpected. It can be described as earth-shattering, completely disrupting our original plans.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This incident truly had an impact like an earthquake. Some of them were still feeling dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
As for the original plan… in the face of such a sudden event, what plan could remain?
The initial plan had anticipated that the nine calamities would merely be saint level… and now, they had directly wiped out the Lan Family, one of the nine great clans…
“This incident is significant,” Diwu Qingrou said lightly. “Although the nine great clans have their strengths and weaknesses, since the nine calamities could sweep away the Lan Family, then dealing with the other families… shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“Furthermore, from the intelligence, it seems that when dealing with the Lan Family, the nine calamities did not pay a particularly heavy price. So… can they manage to deal with the other families, even the top-ranked Ye Family? Or do they just need to pay some… price!”
Diwu Qingrou nodded apologetically at Ye Xiaoyao, “Elder Ye, please forgive the metaphor.”
Ye Xiaoyao's expression deepened, and he sighed heavily, “This is a fact, what is there to blame?”
Everyone’s expressions turned serious in unison.
This was indeed what everyone was most worried about.
Diwu Qingrou's statement struck to the heart of the matter, revealing everyone’s deepest fears simultaneously.
An older man standing behind, his eyes subtly fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly lowered his eyelids and remained motionless.
This man was the only fifth rank supreme master of the fifth family; at this moment, he was enduring great difficulty, filled with confusion...
Just last night, when he received the news, Qingrou had still claimed that the strength of the nine calamities could not achieve this, indicating that there must be some trickery; how come now she spoke with such certainty, making alarming claims?
“United as one, unparalleled in the world!” Diwu Qingrou gently rubbed her brow with her index finger and said heavily, “Now, although one of the nine calamities, Li Xiong Tu, is trapped in the northwest… there are still nine people over there, because among them is the sword master! Such a group of nine may not be weaker than the united nine calamities. In fact… they should far exceed it!”
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Ye Xiaoyao spoke up, “That is absolutely true! If the sword master's power is not less than that of the original nine calamities, then this sword master is truly unimpressive.”
Xiao Zhengyan added, “Yes, the sword master’s strength should be the highest among the nine calamities; moreover, he is also the core. Therefore, extraordinary combat power is to be expected.”
