In his room, Mo Tianji furrowed his brows tightly while listening to Chu Yang recount everything that had happened.
"Is this true?!" Mo Tianji exclaimed in shock, suddenly standing up and pacing around the room.
Chu Yang naturally understood that Mo Tianji's shock was about 'the matter of the Nine Calamity Sword's seventh section' and not about 'the fact that you have such a remarkable grandfather and uncle.'
Mo Tianji was someone who lacked a sense of humor and always focused on the most critical point.
"Indeed, it is true," Chu Yang sighed.
Mo Tianji turned around with a frown, then suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Your grandfather and uncle actually managed to survive in this martial arts world for so long... truly extraordinary..."
Chu Yang felt a headache coming on. "Let's not discuss that for now; let's talk about your opinion first."
Chu Yang himself did not know that he had come back to deal with an internal traitor, but unexpectedly, this return was not just about a pressing issue.
There were two issues!
One was the internal traitor incident.
The other was the Nine Calamity seventh incident!
Mo Tianji pondered for a moment, then firmly stated, "The situation with the Yang Family cannot be delayed even for a moment! We must act immediately! Although the Xiao Clan is unlikely to discover it... But there’s always a possibility; if something goes wrong... then we would be at a passive extreme."
With the matter of the Nine Calamity Sword's seventh section in play, Mo Tianji completely put the internal traitor incident aside.
"I know we need to act, but the question is, how should we act?" Chu Yang said. "The Yang Family is less than two thousand miles from the Chu Family. This distance might be a long journey for ordinary people, but for experts, it is nothing."
"Therefore, since the Xiao Clan occupies that area to guard against the Chu Family, they will definitely have strong defenses! This time, it could be a tough battle!"
Mo Tianji pondered for a moment, then slightly shook his head. "Not necessarily!"
"This operation is in the land of Dragon and Phoenix. The Yang Family only knows about Dragon and Phoenix and absolutely cannot know about the Nine Calamity Sword!" Mo Tianji said. "So... they will only conduct large-scale excavation... there may be experts, but there may not necessarily be heavy defenses!"
"As for what lies beneath... we will only know once we get there!"
Mo Tianji decisively stated, "However, we still need to make full preparations! This operation involves both the Dragon and Phoenix clans. Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong need to take the lead. Gu Duxing, Dong Wushang, Rocky Luo, Xie Danqiong, Ji Mo, and you and I will serve as the second wave; and you must persuade the two seniors of Fengyue to have one accompany us to ensure nothing goes wrong!"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "The Nine Calamity operation... having the two seniors of Fengyue involved seems off... Moreover, people of this cultivation level could break the balance. Throughout history, when have we ever seen a ninth rank pinnacle supreme participate in a Nine Calamity operation?"
"This is a major taboo on the Nine Calamity path."
Chu Yang was not speaking nonsense; he had heard from Ning Tianya that people of their cultivation level could not directly participate in the battles for unifying the Nine Heavens.
Otherwise, there would be severe consequences.
Moreover, the Sword Spirit had repeatedly reminded him; the Nine Calamity path is one of trial and error. The balance must not be broken...
Mo Tianji rolled his eyes and said, "We are not asking them to participate in any combat... we are merely inviting one of the seniors to take a trip for leisure; what does that have to do with the Nine Calamity?"
Chu Yang cleared his throat.
This guy can really talk. Just a trip for leisure? Just leisure?... Hmm, but it seems like a good idea?
Mo Tianji looked at him with a hint of hesitation. After coughing twice, he said, "Actually... Chu Yang, we need practice; this is immensely important. But it is just practice. As the Nine Calamity Sword Master... don't you think you have already surpassed previous Nine Calamity Sword Masters by a long shot?"
