Only one thing is certain.
The two teams dispatched by Diwu Qingrou were primarily for testing; while the two teams sent by Mo Tianji were clearly premeditated.
Diwu Qingrou observed her side’s two teams entering the battle zone from high above, her expression calm and unperturbed, her mind entering an extremely detached state. No matter what changes the enemy made, she would be able to respond in an instant!
This time, she absolutely would not give Mo Tianji a single chance to take advantage!
From her perspective, she could also clearly see the traces of the Li family’s team entering a rolling mountainous battlefield.
Both sides were advancing at an extremely rapid pace; they set off towards the land of life and death without looking back.
Although the distance was great, both sides were composed of top masters of the world, moving at speeds several thousand times greater than ordinary people. The vast mountains around spanned a thousand miles, but the actual distance each side needed to cover was only five hundred miles.
A journey of several hundred miles could almost be completed in the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, and the two sides would soon clash at one spot.
But Diwu Qingrou firmly believed that Mo Tianji would never allow both forces to collide in an open confrontation.
A head-on clash would be equivalent to seeking death, something unwise people would do! But what further tactics would this wise man employ?
Diwu Qingrou was not Mo Tianji, so she naturally could not know what he would do, which is why she chose to wait!
Waiting for Mo Tianji’s changes, responding to every change with her steadfastness!
In the mid-air, Mo Tianji suddenly let out a long howl.
Diwu Qingrou focused her gaze.
The Li family members had already entered a canyon that was about to connect with the enemy; this canyon was quite long, and directly facing the coalition side, it served as a natural barrier.
It completely blocked Diwu Qingrou’s line of sight.
At this moment, the coalition’s troops were only a few dozen yards away from the other side of the mountain peak.
Diwu Qingrou made a decisive call and immediately ordered, “Stop!”
The coalition troops complied and quickly sought cover behind the rocks; what were once stones that could be shattered with a slap, were now solid barriers that no one could break.
This was also the main reason why Diwu Qingrou was not worried that the terrain would benefit the enemy—Mo Tianji may have created the terrain, but they could also take advantage of it.
The beneficiaries are not only you!
Compared to low-level martial artists, high-level martial artists would still gain the most if they both wielded the same shield!
……
It seemed as if it were as Diwu Qingrou anticipated.
After the Li family members entered this canyon, they disappeared without a trace.
It was as if a droplet of water had merged into the ocean, completely silent and undetectable.
“Indeed, the fifth commander is a master of strategy; the enemy has stopped at that location,” Lan Mofeng said, fully convinced, as if determining victory from a thousand miles away.
“This was not difficult to predict. Among all the mountain terrains between both sides, only the mountain ridge in the middle is the highest, and there were no gaps left on either side; the most crucial point was that it was the only place that could block my line of sight; even if we are positioned higher, the distance makes it hard to discern the situation; if we were lower, we wouldn’t even be able to see clearly on our side.”
Diwu Qingrou said calmly, “Thus, that mountain ridge is the critical juncture. Mo Tianji has spent over a billion Amethyst to harness the celestial powers of the sun, moon, and stars to maintain the terrain, just for this command, to avoid wasteful expenditure. Therefore, that mountain ridge is of utmost importance!”
“Send the word, if the enemy does not move, we will not move!”
“Mo Tianji hopes for us to take the initiative to attack and move past this mountain ridge into their trap, letting him manipulate us… but how can I fulfill his wishes!”
