The news from Xie Danqiong's interrogation left both Mo Tianji and Chu Yang astonished!
“These are the law enforcers! Moreover, they belong to the enforcement hall under the direct command of the Law Sovereign! This time, a total of twenty-three people came to the northwest!”
“Five sixth rank supremes, five seventh rank supremes, and ten eighth rank supremes! Three ninth rank initial supremes!”
“It is said that the Law Sovereign also came personally!”
Just this opening statement was enough to shock Chu Yang and the others.
“The Law Sovereign has issued orders, and the various families are currently increasing their troops.”
“Furthermore, both the Law Sovereign and the nine great clans have sent people to Central Capital to investigate the news of the nine calamities! They have already identified several individuals, including Mo Tianji, Gu Duxing, Ji Mo, Rocky Luo, and me!” Xie Danqiong said, “Currently, our identities have already been exposed!”
Mo Tianji maintained a calm and composed expression, his face darkened as he asked, “What about the others?”
“They are uncertain about the others, but they have confirmed one person, Li Xiong Tu.” Xie Danqiong laughed with a hint of sarcasm, “So this time, a great effort has already been put into besieging the Li family.”
Mo Tianji sneered, “A great effort… is still not enough. I want them to exert their full strength!”
“Dong Wushang and Rui Butong had arrived at Upper Heaven early, thus escaping this suspicion, but… these people have heard the Law Sovereign mention Dong Wushang’s name before… It seems that Wushang has also been targeted.”
Xie Danqiong spoke slowly, “The situation in Central Capital is grim. I wonder…” His worried gaze fell on Mo Tianji.
Chu Yang furrowed his brows and asked, “Tianji. Have our relatives and friends been arranged properly in Central Capital?”
Mo Tianji nodded, “It should be foolproof.”
Chu Yang inquired, “Oh?”
Mo Tianji replied calmly, “I found a vast mountain range and established a manor there. Everyone is residing inside, with sufficient food and clothing for a hundred years!”
Chu Yang frowned, “That’s far from enough!”
Mo Tianji said, “Last time, you left behind several million Amethyst, and I spread out ninety-nine million of them in Central Capital, using the power of the Amethyst to set up a heavenly confusion great formation! The entire mountain range has been concealed.”
“If it weren’t for someone knowledgeable in formations…” Mo Tianji gritted his teeth, “Even a ninth rank pinnacle supreme might not be able to breach the great formation!”
“What about internally?” Chu Yang asked incisively. If someone inside were to come out and be caught… the great formation would collapse.
Mo Tianji scoffed, “I certainly thought of this; I told everyone that those inside could come and go freely, but in reality… that great formation neither allows entry nor exit!”
“Unless it reaches the two-hundred-year mark when the formation’s power weakens, it will become visible. Otherwise, no one can come out or enter!” Mo Tianji smiled faintly, “I, Mo Tianji, have always prepared for rain before it falls. Since our identities have been exposed, how could I allow myself to have lingering worries…”
With a somewhat apologetic look, Mo Tianji gazed at Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang, saying, “Brothers, this time, I deceived you. Because… if I hadn’t deceived you, given the temper of our few eldest young masters at home, they would never remain in the mountains… I hope you can understand.”
He apologized!
Mo Tianji actually apologized!
This fact left Chu Yang utterly astonished. He understood better than anyone what kind of person Mo Tianji was; he was always someone who plotted everything meticulously, which also granted him an almost poisonous confidence!
He would never bow to anyone. Even if he was truly wrong, he would stubbornly hold on. He could allow himself to secretly correct his mistakes but would never admit them publicly!
