NORTHWEST BATTLE SITUATION.
Diwu Qingrou held a meeting specifically to gather everyone's opinions and prepare to accelerate the attack.
In fact, seeking opinions was just a formality for these people; during this time, under Diwu Qingrou's command, they had fought countless battles and achieved victories, avoiding all traps set by the Li Family, and had not lost a single person!
Such remarkable achievements made them develop a strong sense of reliance on Diwu Qingrou.
What Diwu Qingrou said went, and whatever Diwu Qingrou decided was how it would be done, without any dissent.
Thus, when Diwu Qingrou mentioned accelerating the attack to quickly resolve the battle, no one raised any objections.
Rather than discussing for an afternoon, it would be more accurate to say that Diwu Qingrou meticulously arranged everything over the course of the afternoon.
Everyone returned to prepare, filled with fighting spirit, ready to attack at dawn and completely erase the Li Family from the Nine Heavens Continent's map.
However, they never expected that just as night fell, the Chen Family's eighth-grade supreme master, Chen Jianlong, suddenly encountered assassins. The assassins came and went like the wind, striking swiftly before disappearing.
Caught off guard, Chen Jianlong was injured in the shoulder. Although the injury was not severe, he was extremely angry; that night, he immediately launched a pursuit and investigation.
In the two months prior, nothing like this had ever happened. This was a groundbreaking first. Moreover, it directly targeted the Chen Family.
As midnight passed, the traces of the assassins vanished.
The group stayed on high alert but took a brief rest.
Later that night, the Lan Family's Lan Mofeng and the Xiao Clan's Xiao Zhengyan both faced attacks from assassins! This time, however, the assault was thunderous!
Two supreme masters from the Xiao Clan were annihilated, and Xiao Zhengyan himself sustained a cut. Meanwhile, Lan Mofeng was besieged by three assassins and received five or six heavy blows, leaving him severely injured!
All the masters pursued the assassins through the night, chasing them to the snowy plains where the rare visitors suddenly disappeared. Upon their return, new information surfaced: Ye Xiaoyao and his team from the Ye Family had also been attacked by three assassins!
The losses were severe!
Although Ye Xiaoyao himself was unharmed, seven or eight masters from the Ye Family were taken down!
The assassins fled far away, leaving no trace.
These consecutive four assassination attempts made the coalition army of the Eight Great Families feel an immense sense of crisis.
Everyone could clearly sense: these assassins were mostly eighth-grade supreme masters! Moreover, the chilling aura contained in their sword techniques revealed their identity: they were from the Li Family!
Everyone was filled with rage, nearly exploding with anger. But deep down, they also felt a sense of dread: the Li Family was so powerful!
A rough estimate showed that during this night, there had already been six eighth-grade supreme assassins dispatched by the Li Family!
Six eighth-grade supreme masters acting as assassins! This discovery left the higher-ups of the Eight Great Families in silence. How many eighth-grade supreme masters could a single family possess?
This was a secret, a core secret for all the families!
Yet all families were astounded by this depth of strength; perhaps only the Xiao and Ye Families among the Nine Great Clans could compare to the current Li Family, right?
They never expected that the Li Family, which usually kept a low profile, had such solid strength!
Furthermore, it seemed that this time, the Li Family was prepared to go all out!
This situation made everyone feel as if they were walking on thin ice: the Li Family still had one most powerful individual who had yet to make a move.
Li Chunbo!
Everyone suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure.
Diwu Qingrou immediately called for an emergency meeting.
The leaders of the various families' supreme masters rushed to Diwu Qingrou's tent at the first opportunity. Even the injured ones were no exception!
