Mo Tianji furrowed his brows, his expression somewhat serious as he said, “Senior, your return to the mortal realm is indeed a great benefit given the current situation, but may I ask, which clan’s Ancestor Lord is participating in this war?”
“Mo Junshi’s reputation is well-deserved. Just from my appearance, you’ve deduced the changes at play. To not hide it from you, Xiao Chenyu from the Xiao Clan ranks second among the nine great clans! The second strongest of the nine Ancestors has already entered the battlefield!” Li Chunbo said with a calm demeanor. He found Mo Tianji’s reaction unremarkable; if Mo Tianji failed to notice such changes or refrained from asking due to his identity, it would be underestimating him.
“I see.”
Mo Tianji did not find it surprising at all.
If the other side had not dispatched such a dangerous figure capable of overturning the situation, how could Li Chunbo have appeared here?
Since Li Chunbo was here, it meant the other side also had a powerhouse of his caliber present.
“This is Li Xiangsi; he is my son.” Li Chunbo introduced, “These two are my brothers; they are also my guards! We have been through life and death together for over ten thousand years!”
“Li Xiangsi is at the peak of eighth grade supreme, merely a step away from ninth rank supreme. As for my two brothers, they broke through to ninth rank supreme two hundred years ago, and now they are at the junior level of ninth rank supreme, fully developed.”
Li Chunbo calmly introduced everyone to Mo Tianji: “I am at ninth rank supreme, close to the peak, but can only be considered advanced, fully developed in this condition.”
Mo Tianji’s expression shifted slightly as he said, “With the assistance of all the seniors, I believe our chances in this battle have significantly improved.”
Li Chunbo’s expression turned bleak. “This time, the Li Clan is indeed facing an unprecedented crisis. Even during the most perilous moments of the nine calamity battle, we never faced such a dire situation, and our families were never implicated. Mo Junshi doesn’t need to say any flattering words; I am somewhat aware in my heart. If it weren't for Mo Junshi’s presence, planning everything, the Li Clan would eventually be exterminated. That is a certainty.”
“However, even with Mo Junshi commanding, strategizing against the enemy, once we reach the decisive battle involving the three tiers of supreme, no matter how high the intelligence or schemes, they will be of no assistance. Absolute power renders everything else meaningless. Therefore, the final outcome for the Li Clan is still certain to be annihilation.”
Li Chunbo said this flatly, then looked at Mo Tianji, softly asking, “Do you agree, Mo Junshi?”
Mo Tianji nodded, “The odds are indeed extremely slim, nearly nonexistent. However, if we want to preserve a sliver of our bloodline… it may not be absolutely impossible; there’s still hope.”
Upon hearing these words from Mo Tianji, everyone in the hall let out a long sigh.
They all shared the same understanding of this outcome; it was a cruel reality. Yet, no one felt particularly surprised.
“The Li Clan is situated in the northwest, with a harsh geographical environment. If we were in the center of the continent, it would be easy to hide and preserve our bloodline. But in the northwest, it’s quite challenging. The only way is to break out; only by breaking out can there be a future.”
Li Chunbo responded, “I’ve thought of this, as has Mo Junshi, and I suspect the allied forces have as well. Therefore, breaking out will truly be very difficult.”
He paused, his gaze passing over Mo Tianji to look at Ao Xieyun, Rui Butong, and Li Xiong Tu, saying, “You all must take care!”
His tone had not changed throughout, but Li Xiong Tu distinctly felt that Li Chunbo’s gaze lingered on him for just a moment longer.
Mo Tianji’s eyes flickered slightly.
He caught on; this wise elder’s last seven words held significant meaning.
