Finally, on the ninth day, there was new movement!
The experts of the Xiao Clan, huddled in the mine, suddenly heard the roaring sword energy from above. They exchanged glances, some of them feeling a bit smug, reveling in the misfortune of others.
Damn it, you crafty one, did you miss this time?
Outside was just a mountain; there was no one around.
You try to ambush us? Good luck with that!
Indeed, after wreaking havoc for a while, the opponent immediately retreated!
Knowing that rushing out upon hearing the attack would have been futile, Xiao Chenlei remained seated, waiting quietly.
Little brats, I’m just afraid you won’t come.
If you want the Dragon and Phoenix Bone, you’ll have to enter the mine. Once you step into the mine, the terrain isn't as spacious as outside.
In here, it’s impossible to strike and flee at will!
Moreover, due to the existence of the Dragon and Phoenix Bone, this place cannot be destroyed. So... as long as you dare to enter the mine, even if you are a Nine Calamity, you will only become a corpse here!
Xiao Chenlei’s eyes burned with fierce anger.
Blood for blood! The blood of my Xiao family isn’t so easy to spill.
The only thing Xiao Chenlei found strange was that according to the time frame, the invisible falcon he released should have reached the family by now, and they should have responded.
But, why hasn’t there been any news?
Outside.
Mo Tianji smiled as he looked at the quiet mountain top, a rare content smile on his face.
“They really have retreated inside,” Chu Yang said with a smile. “Tianji, your initial plan was not to wipe them out outside, right? You aimed to force them into the mine from the beginning?”
Mo Tianji nodded with a smile: “Yes. There are too many of them. Once they are in a state of defeat, there will inevitably be some who try to escape desperately. In that case, we would not be able to pursue them all! Our secret, our identities would be exposed.”
“For us at this moment, that is still something we cannot afford.”
“Thus, we pushed them step by step, forcing them into a situation where the only way out before complete collapse was to hide in the mine!”
“And inside there, it is easy to defend and hard to attack. The space is small, making it unfavorable for us to strike. If we launched an attack, it would be like walking into a trap…”
“So, this method is the best.”
Mo Tianji smiled confidently: “And that old ancestor of the Xiao Clan really does have some brains.”
Chu Yang laughed heartily: “But you are right about one thing. Their retreat inside is indeed the best method they have to deal with us right now, and we cannot enter. What should we do?”
Mo Tianji said calmly: “If I can come up with a plan for them, I can crack it.”
“How to crack it?” Chu Yang chuckled.
“Of course, it is you.” Mo Tianji turned and looked at him, saying: “You are the sword master lord. Such a daunting task can only be entrusted to you.”
Chu Yang scratched his nose with a wry smile: “I knew you had your eye on my little stash.”
Mo Tianji laughed: “In this mine, the air must be foul, and it doesn’t circulate well... So, after forcing them into such a place, generally speaking, there are three ways to deal a fatal blow.”
“If Ao Xieyun’s secret manual of the divine dragon is deep enough, it can be used to flood them with Xuanqiong Heavy Water; that’s one method. If Rui Butong grows up, he could burn them with Nirvana Heavenly Fire... Of course, neither of these two methods is feasible right now, so we can only use the third method, which is... poison!”
Mo Tianji smiled mysteriously: “I don’t believe you are guarding a poison doctor in Wuzhuo City, and your sister is a poison doctor heir, who wouldn’t give you, her brother, some way to defend yourself?”
He blinked: “Ordinary poisons certainly can’t kill a supreme, nor can they hide from one. But the Shadowless Poison from the poison doctor in Wuzhuo City, as far as I know, is an exception.”
