The crowd was instantly rendered speechless.
Everyone present was no fool; no one could reach such a martial arts realm without some intellect. However, regarding the twists and turns of what was happening, especially concocted by two supreme strategists, it was truly baffling.
Everyone understood that even if they tried to think it through, it would be pointless. Moreover, it would leave them looking foolish, providing their brethren from thousands of years an excuse to mock them for life, becoming a negative example for future generations. Thus, everyone wisely chose to remain silent.
"Can't guess?" Diwu Qingrou smiled and asked.
If we could guess, why would we need you as a strategist? Everyone thought in unison, while in chorus they politely said, “We ask the strategist for enlightenment.”
"This time, it was a sudden attack that was both expected and unexpected; consider it a benefit at my expense. Logically, I shouldn’t have left behind such a head statue."
Diwu Qingrou's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
"It is said that this entangled strategist is not very old." Finally, someone spoke up, it was Ling Zhankong, the supreme leading the Ling Family: "Since he is young, he must have the temperament of youth. Could it be that Mo Tianji, in a weak position, took such a large advantage and couldn’t help but show off? This is a mindset of a small-minded person coming into fortune, like a beggar suddenly becoming wealthy and flaunting their riches…"
In this attack, the Ling Family nearly suffered complete annihilation, the losses among all the families were the most significant. Ling Zhankong hated Mo Tianji to the bone and began with no kind words.
"Even if I sometimes get carried away and boast a bit, Mo Tianji would never be so shallow!" Diwu Qingrou was somewhat displeased. The tone of her words was quite heavy.
Facing such a formidable enemy, even the slightest negligence could lead to total destruction. They had to muster all their spirits, fearing they wouldn’t manage to cope, yet in their ranks, there was actually such a peculiar individual who believed the opponent was showing off…
To be blunt: there’s no way to seek death so deliberately; even Jing Menghun back then would never underestimate any enemy; now, to hear such words from the mouth of an eighth grade supreme was simply astonishing!
Ling Zhankong’s expression was grim.
"Mo Tianji's head statue tells me he has seen through some things of mine; at the same time, he specifically gave me some things to help me see through him, as compensation. Because this time, he finds it a bit unfair for me…"
Diwu Qingrou said calmly, "This is the pride of a top strategist, and has no relation to arrogance."
"As for whether what we see is his true self, that remains unknown; if I guess correctly, then that would be his favor to me, and we'd owe nothing to each other in the future; if I guess wrong, then it’s a series of deadly traps, and there will be no psychological burden: he has already notified us. If we still guessed wrong, that's seeking death, how can we blame him?"
Everyone found it hard to comprehend; how could there be such strange conduct in this world?
"Mo Tianji's carving is very meticulous. It emphasizes spirit; he himself should believe that the realm of intention surpasses reality; every cut is precise and reflects a control that is effortless and a strong confidence; the hair is impeccably detailed. This shows he is very strict… The final message indicates that Mo Tianji is a person who prepares for the future; he never undertakes matters he isn't sure about!"
All the supremes were not fools; after hearing this, they naturally felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"As for deeper insights, I will ponder tonight; after all, what can be seen now is only the most superficial and obvious."
Diwu Qingrou sighed somewhat.
The supremes each buried their worries while arranging their people.
Diwu Qingrou watched everyone move away, then sighed deeply. There was one thing she didn’t say, which was also a very important meaning from Mo Tianji.
