"Everything is as you predicted!"
This sentence almost represented victory.
Li Wubo let out a nearly imperceptible sigh of relief, as a heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After all, this was a risky venture!
The internal situation of the Li family had become alarmingly precarious.
If Diwu Qingrou had seen through Mo Tianji’s arrangement and sent troops for a long-distance attack, any attempt to rescue would have been a joke. There would be absolutely no time.
Although out of high trust, they had coordinated this operation with Mo Tianji, Li Wubo had always worried that Diwu Qingrou would see through it; after all, the opponent was certainly not a trivial character.
Now it seemed that she had indeed not seen through it.
That was what truly gave him peace of mind.
On the other side, in the high and snowy sky, Chu Yang watched the Li family army and smiled softly, "So that’s how it is… Mo Tianji is truly cunning…"
Dong Wushang stared in shock, "What?"
Not to mention Dong Wushang, even the experienced Mo Lei Er from the martial arts world looked puzzled, "From above, Diwu Qingrou's arrangement appears flawless. Other than attacking the Ye family in exchange for benefits, Mo Tianji has no other options…"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Wrong. Diwu Qingrou fell into a trap the moment she made that decision!"
Saying this, Chu Yang took a breath and added, "If it were me… I would have fallen for it too."
"I don’t understand." Dong Wushang, Mo Lei Er, and Mo Qingwu all shook their heads together.
"It’s okay if you don’t understand; just watch, and you’ll understand immediately." Chu Yang smiled slightly.
On the other side, in a secret location.
Gu Duxing, Xie Danqiong, Ji Mo, and Rocky Luo stared blankly at the allied army's campsite, each feeling confused, "What on earth is going on… why can’t we understand anything?"
"What’s the coordination here? Isn’t this operation supposed to require our cooperation?" Xie Danqiong looked equally bewildered.
Ji Mo and Rocky Luo clearly hadn’t considered this at all; the two of them were lounging comfortably.
For these two, what Mo Tianji arranged was of no interest; if an attack was needed, they would charge; if a retreat was necessary, they would run…
…
"We need to begin our operation immediately." Mo Tianji said quietly but slowly, "Ten small teams, all to attack, following the first plan, executing the formation practiced beforehand. End with the practiced formation, and retreat immediately."
"Understood!" Li Wubo replied.
Mo Tianji continued, "I will accompany the team forward. When we reach a certain position, I will stop at a designated location, which will be my first command post. If I need to give commands, I will signal with a code, then move to the second command post. I only have two opportunities to command, and each time will not exceed a single breath. After the second time, I will return to the rendezvous point to await you. At that point, there will be only one choice: a full retreat!"
Li Wubo earnestly said, "I hope both those commands never need to happen."
Mo Tianji smiled, "The opponent will certainly react, so at least one of those commands will be necessary. Therefore, you should not harbor any wishful thinking. The enemy is far stronger than you imagine!"
"Yes." Li Wubo nodded solemnly, "What about the second plan?"
Mo Tianji shook his head lightly, "The second plan will not be needed!"
Li Wubo took a deep breath, his eyes glinting with shock, "Alright!"
"Final equipment check: poison, hidden weapons, weapon toxins, and the gear needed for the retreat!" Mo Tianji spoke in a deep voice.
"All personnel checked and ready!"
"Do not forget, no one is allowed to make a sound!" Mo Tianji’s gaze fell upon the snowflakes drifting in the sky, focusing ahead, he whispered, "Let’s go!"
Those two words were spoken calmly and slowly, yet everyone felt an overwhelming sense of impending bloodshed.
All the soldiers divided into ten neatly arranged small teams, like ten arrows, shot out like lightning!
