Li Xiangsi hung her head in despair.
Li Chunbo trembled all over, even his beard was shaking. Suddenly, he let out a furious roar: “Li Jue!”
The sound was like thunder.
At this moment, it was evident that Li Chunbo was filled with extreme hatred and anger!
Mo Tianji frowned, feeling that this turn of events was indeed quite troublesome.
He had spent countless schemes to lay out such a seamless plan, yet it was unexpectedly ruined so cleanly by a fool. This was truly an unforeseen variable that no one could have anticipated.
“There’s no choice. The original plan must be changed,” Mo Tianji sighed deeply.
Who would have thought that just as Diwu Qingrou was embroiled in internal strife, his side would also encounter the same situation?
Was it truly fate playing tricks?
“I’ll go down again! Assess the situation. If I can save a few people…” Li Chunbo furrowed his brow. In his view, the situation had become dire, and he needed to find a way to remedy it. If he could rescue the remaining members of the Li family, at least some combat power could be preserved, and most importantly, the old man couldn’t bear the thought of his descendants sacrificing themselves in vain.
“No! Absolutely not!” Mo Tianji quickly stopped him. “Just now, the situation was unclear, and I didn’t prevent Old Li from stepping into danger. But now that the situation is clear, it can be said to be in complete chaos down there, and at any moment, an unknown crisis could arise. Especially since visibility is zero below, even if you, Old Li, were to force your way down, it would be futile. The returns would be too minimal and not worth it.”
“I’ll watch out for some dangers. Can I really just stand by and watch everyone get killed?” Li Chunbo was evidently very anxious, rarely questioning Mo Tianji’s judgment.
“Old Li, I know you are anxious, but if you act again, the allied forces will definitely not sit idle. Xiao Chenyu will surely follow closely with his troops. If you get trapped here as well, the fight behind will be unnecessary! At this point, rescue is not the best strategy. The only option is… to activate the subsequent changes of the Three Lights Great Formation — the Sunlight Formation.” Mo Tianji sighed.
“Activate the Sunlight Formation early?”
“Indeed, this is currently the only way to break the deadlock.”
“But… this is only the second team… if…”
Mo Tianji replied lightly, “Does Old Li intend to wait until everyone is dead before making a decision?”
Li Chunbo trembled all over, and his eyes flashed with determination. After a long silence, he silently nodded, “Alright! Let’s do it your way.”
Mo Tianji's white robe fluttered as he turned to leave. At this moment, action was the only practical solution.
Li Chunbo followed, but his and Li Xiangsi's footsteps seemed exceptionally heavy.
……
Beneath the snow, Li Jue was still running wildly, constantly exposing his family’s hidden ambush locations to the enemy. The young master at this moment was like a soulless being, blindly running about, completely resembling a corpse.
Now he had lost all ability to think, instinctively seeking the protection of his family members, even if those who came out were immediately killed, he would still feel somewhat safer: because he had seen his kin.
He still had companions.
Having companions meant having protection.
Yet he was completely oblivious that his foolish actions had dragged his entire family down into an endless abyss.
Behind him, there were over twenty high-level supremes above the sixth tier following him, along with seven or eight supremes above the seventh rank, their eyes glinting with cruelty.
They were firmly watching him, not allowing him to escape.
The most laughable thing was that those seven or eight supremes above the seventh rank had an additional purpose: protecting Li Jue’s life. This was because several waves of Li family members had launched suicidal attacks to eliminate Li Jue, but under the joint protection of those seven or eight supremes, all attacks were rendered futile, akin to moths flying into a flame.
