Within the courtyard, Chen Mo leisurely sips tea, already a maiden of grace. The young soybean, now a grown-up girl, has become much more understanding. She no longer asks him to buy some good food as she did in the past, but is quietly pouring tea by her side.
Days have passed since Miao Fei Yu's submission, and during these days, Chen Mo has been able to live a relatively peaceful life.
Although Xiao Tianyi is on the run, there are imperial spies checking around him. If he dares to leave Chen Mo and others, he will receive news at the first time. Not only is Long Feiwu trying to find out his whereabouts, but even the patronage of Zong is searching for his whereabouts.
Chen Mo lifted the teacup and savored a sip, while the little bean sat quietly beside him, expectantly staring at him, waiting for his praise.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared like a ghostly figure in the courtyard.
The little soybean is slightly alert, but when he sees the person coming, the alertness on his face disappears and is replaced by displeasure.
Pei Jiangnan arrived.
Pei Jiangnan bowed his hands and respectfully said, "Brother Chen, I have some news."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Mo was overjoyed and quickly stood up, "Is it news about Xiao Tianyi?"
Pei Jiangnan nodded slightly, "It's news from the border army. They found Xiao Tianyi's traces near the border, and it seems they are preparing to enter the restricted area."
"All right, since this matter is urgent, let's set off immediately"
Chen Mo laughed heartily, speaking with a trace of excitement.
"But..."
Pei Jiangnan hesitated for a moment, "Brother Chen, is it really feasible to just go find him like this?"
With the backing of both the Qian Shan sect and the empire, their combined forces should have no problem taking down Xiao Tianyi. However, Xiao Tianyi is not alone.
"What are you worried about, Pei brother?"
Chen Mo seemed to have read Pei Jiangnan's thoughts and asked with a smile.
"Earlier, Brother Chen had already mentioned that Xiao Tianyi will not be alone. His subordinates have three major forces: the Spider Network that controls information, the Shadow Pavilion responsible for assassination, and Tian Fa strong in direct attacks. Even just the Spider Network and Shadow Pavilion are noteworthy in strength, while Tian Fa can sweep across most of the forces on the nine states continent. Now that Xiao Tianyi is in trouble, I'm afraid they are already on their way..."
"Haha, there's no need to worry about that, Pei brother."
Chen Mo smiled slightly and explained, "Even before we left the Qian Shan sect, I had already instructed Fu to take down their intelligence network, Spider Web. Last time you went to deliver a message was also to remind Fu to deal with this matter. Some time ago, he replied to me, and he has wiped out all the spiders hiding in the Tian Long Dynasty."
"If not for that, Xiao Tianyi wouldn't have been so desperate and would have run into the restricted area... Without the Spider Web, Xiao Tianyi can't pass any intelligence, no one knows about the situation here, and neither the Shadow Pavilion nor Tian Fa can provide support in time..."
Hearing this, Pei Jiangnan's eyes lit up, "Then we should act quickly."
"All right."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, asked Pei Jiangnan to wait outside, and then called everyone to gather in the courtyard, including Ning Xin, Li Yueyue, the Crispy duo, and the two with Miao Feiyu.
"Brother Chen, you can rest assured that we will fully support you in this matter of killing Xiao Tianyi..."
Sun Qian vowed with a clap on his chest, showing determination to share Chen Mo's fate.
Chen Mo couldn't help but give him a cold look. This guy had only decided to join him after hearing that it wasn't too dangerous. If it had been truly dangerous, he would have undoubtedly tried to hide away first.
"This journey is extremely dangerous, you two don't need to go."
"Do you not trust me, Brother Chen?"
"Am I the type to lie to you?"
"It's really dangerous, I won't go."
Chen Mo gave Sun Qian another cold look, "You two stay here to take care of Ms. Su Qin. This journey, only Miao Feiyu and the little bean will accompany me."
"Don't you let us go?"
Hearing this, Ning Xin and Li Yueyue couldn't help but be stunned, and their faces looked a bit unnatural.
"She has other things to do... Yun Chuangqiu has been gone for several days, and I estimate that the reinforcements she has called are almost here. You are responsible for meeting her and informing her of our location..."
Chen Mo ordered.
After subduing Miao Feiyu, Chen Mo ordered the unwilling Yun Chuangqiu to run errands again and send a message, though she was unwilling, she had to do as she was told.
Outside the capital city, many high-level masters of the Zhen Wu Si had gathered. By the leading of Emperor Long Feiwu, both emperors of the empire had joined in, which array of force was so magnificent that if anyone did not know any better, they might think that Tianlong Dynasty was about to wage war and conquer other countries.
Hanhai Empire and Xuyu Empire, which border the Tianlong Dynasty, trembled with fear upon hearing the intelligence reports sent back. They dispatched heavy troops to their borders, fearing that they might take this opportunity to annex their empires.
However, what they didn't know was that Tianlong Dynasty's such a show was only to deal with one person.
The army set off towards the restricted area, two days out of three. Just as they were about to reach the border, an urgent report came from the border: beasts in chaos, and the restricted area had been overrun.
Previously, with the two emperors of the empire stationed in the restricted area, everything was peaceful. But now, since they have left to return to the capital in order to topple Miao Tiannan, and without a powerful figure to hold down the fort, once chaos erupted in the restricted area, it fell into enemy hands at the first opportunity.
"Beasts in chaos, at this time, if not quickly sending high-level masters to hold the fort, it may affect the safety of the frontier. Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the restricted area to hold it."
Pei Jiangnan bowed respectfully.
Long Feiwu nodded slightly, opened her mouth to agree, but then saw Chen Mo suddenly wave his hand, his expression serious, "No."
"Brother Chen, what is your meaning? Are you going to ignore it?"
Pei Jiangnan's eyebrow twitched, and his expression suddenly became more serious.
Long Feiwu looked curious but did not speak, silently waiting for his answer.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and said seriously, "Do you remember, Yeliangchen was there several times before."
Pei Jiangnan thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "I also know this. After that, he was killed in the restricted area..."
"That's right, he was indeed killed in the restricted area, by the beasts. But at the same time, he had cultivated his own forces there. This time, being surrounded and unable to send out a message to the empire, with no help from the Shadow Pavilion, Tian Fa, or even the Spider Network outside the empire, in a desperate situation, he must have caused chaos among the beasts in the restricted area to support him..."
"Although Pei brother is a three-level martial artist, the beasts in the restricted area are not to be trifled with. It's just you alone who can't stop them. I think it's better for the imperial forces to first subdue the restricted area and then come find us."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, the people of Tianlong Dynasty had no choice but to comply. However, Long Feiwu raised an eyebrow and looked displeased, "Are you going to leave me behind and face it alone again?"
Because of the previous warning, Long Feiwu was worried that Chen Mo would again go to his death.
Chen Mo was slightly startled, then smiled and explained, "Ao Tian brother, please do not worry. Everything is under control, and I have already made arrangements. It's not just me facing this challenge. I am surrounded by high-level masters. Besides Xiaodouding and Miao Feiyu, there are also Qian Shan sect and the most powerful force in Youzhou..."
