"Are there an ambush?"
Noticing the Qi coming from beneath Tai Yan Mountain, Miao Wu's expression immediately grew serious.
Just as he was curious, he saw three figures hurry up from the mountain below.
It was Mo Qiuige, who Chen Mo had asked to wait below earlier, as well as the little beanbag and Mo Lengyue who had been waiting in the background just in case.
Chen Mo ventured into the Heavenly Punishment alone, and before setting off, he was worried that things might take a turn for the worse, so he used the inquisitive bugs to communicate with Mu Qiuge.
If anything unexpected happened, he could notify Mu Qiuge of his situation through the bugs placed on him.
And Mu Qiuge naturally knew what to do. To prevent any unexpected accidents, she had notified the little beanbag early and asked him to hurry over as soon as possible.
"Haha, hahaha"
Seeing the person approaching, Miao Wu not only didn't panic, but also burst into a wild laughter, "I thought your ambush was so strong. It's just the saintess of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cult. No, in fact, she should be the Cult Leader now. But that doesn't matter. Anyway, just relying on them, they can't help you turn the tide".
Miao Wu laughed heartily as he spoke, and the little beanbag, arriving late, his face showed a hint of annoyance. Glancing around, he secretly sighed in his heart.
The Heavenly Punishment is indeed worthy of its name, with countless high-level cultivators. Even the mere second-level cultivators are numerous, far surpassing the strength of the Poison Sect.
Initially, if the Heavenly Punishment had intended to contend for the position of head of Miao State, perhaps there would have been no room for the Poison Sect.
"Head of the Heavenly Punishment, Miao Wu, don't think that just because you have more people you can bully us. When we count numbers later, we might not be fewer than you."
The little beanbag stared at Miao Wu with confidence and sneered, "My Poison Sect has high-level cultivators who have come with me early. Soon, they will arrive here. At that time, I can flatten your Heavenly Punishment."
As they spoke, quite a few figures were seen to be approaching leisurely from the forest.
Miao Wu coldly scanned the surroundings, and couldn't help but sneer, "The Poison Sect does have some abilities, but after Chi Hong's absence, how many high-level cultivators can you show off?"
"With these people, they are just ordinary pets, unworthy of attention. Even if more useless cultivators come, they are still useless and cannot be relied upon"
Saying this, Miao Wu snapped his fingers, causing the mountains and forests to shake. In a flash, the previously dispatched three-grade cultivators, who had been heading towards the prison, all returned.
Moreover, the backup members of the Heavenly Punishment were all deployed, forming a dense crowd. The entire mountain forest was filled with Heavenly Punishment cultivators.
In comparison, the cultivators who came from the Poison Sect were indeed insignificant.
The little beanbag raised an eyebrow, remembering what Chen Mo had said about the strength of the Heavenly Punishment. At the time, it was all hearsay and she hadn't felt any reality from it.
As the leader of the Poison Sect and the ruler of Miao State, she believed herself to be the top existence on this piece of land, but when she saw all the Heavenly Punishment cultivators appearing, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Little Beanbag, as the top leader of the 13 caves of Miao State, issuing orders to the high-level cultivators of the other 12 caves is a piece of cake. Have you managed to call for help?"
Chen Mo turned back and asked with a smile.
The little beanbag nodded slightly, "Brother, you can rest assured. The high-level cultivators from the twelve caves have already come with us and are probably encircling this Tai Yan Mountain from all sides right now."
After speaking, another group of figures appeared in the sky.
Those were the high-level cultivators from the twelve caves who had previously agreed to submit to the little beanbag.
Just the number of second-level cultivators is not inferior to the Heavenly Punishment.
Even though there was no first-level cultivator, the aura was completely comparable to that of the Heavenly Punishment.
Miao Wu's eyes flashed, quickly scanning the surroundings. At first, he was somewhat worried, but then he quickly realized the problem and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, it has to be said that Chen Mo, you indeed have some abilities. Every time you take action, you're able to cover all bases and make plans ahead of time. However, can a one-acre piece of land in Miao State be ruled by you alone?"
With his hands behind his back, Miao Wu coldly and proudly stared at Chen Mo, "Do you think that by calling all the high-level cultivators from the twelve caves, you can rest easy? Naive."
"The high-level cultivators from the twelve caves are not as generous as you might think. Hahaha, they say they have already submitted, but how can these people possibly be content to serve others?"
"The Poison Sect has suppressed the twelve caves for years. Over these years, they have been eager to put the Poison Sect under their feet at every opportunity. However, due to the strength of the Poison Sect, they have refrained from taking action"
"But the Heavenly Punishment has never been weaker than the Poison Sect."
"Today is their chance to flip the script. Do you think that by making a big show of bringing them here, they will willingly serve you and take action against us?"
"Haha, naive, so very naive. They won't just watch while they take action against the Heavenly Punishment; instead, they will stand by idly, waiting for the Heavenly Punishment to crush you into dust and ashes."
"When you are defeated, the high-level cultivators from the twelve caves will step forward one by one and firmly crush the Poison Sect under their feet."
……
Miao Wu scanned the surroundings and showed no fear of the twelve caves' cultivators joining forces with Chen Mo and others at this moment.
Because the thoughts of these people have already been exposed by him.
As expected, after Miao Wu finished speaking, the high-level cultivators from the twelve caves, who had surrounded Tai Yan Mountain, only circled around without any signs of attacking.
Just as Miao Wu had said, they were merely there to watch the show.
Seeing this scene, Miao Wu's lips unconsciously curved up, and his smile was evident.
"Brother, it's just as you predicted. They're not attacking."
The little beanbag raised her eyebrows and swept her gaze around the surroundings. Most of the high-level cultivators from the twelve caves had already arrived, but the missing leader of the twelve caves was nowhere to be seen.
"Haha, that's just how their minds work. So, this is your chance to establish your authority."
Chen Mo smiled warmly, turned his head to look at Xiao Douding, who nodded solemnly in response.
At the same time, outside Tai Yan Mountain.
On a hill, the missing leaders of the twelve caves, who had previously disappeared, were all gathered here, away from the main battlefield and out of Chen Mo's sight.
"Yin and Yang cave master, is our move a bit inappropriate?"
While the twelve of them were all gathered here, some of them began to worry and frown.
"The little witch is not to be trifled with. If she finds out that we've surrounded them but not attacked, just waiting to see them fail, will she hold us accountable later?"
"That's right, we have all seen the little witch's methods. She does not show leniency towards traitors."
"On the day of the secret treasure, because we surrendered, she spared us and let us go. If she finds out that we're all waiting here for her to fail and then attack from behind... perhaps we will only be able to keep our lives."
Among the leaders of the twelve caves, some were worried, while others were full of confidence.
"What's all the panic about? The outcome of today's battle is uncertain. If the little witch loses, then we've made a profit."
"That's right, we've been suppressed by the Poison Sect for so many years, it's time to turn the tables. We can't be afraid at this moment or else we'll never have any face in this life."
……
Amidst the various opinions, the Yin and Yang cave master, who was revered as the backbone of the group, spoke up.
"Gentlemen, the strength of the Heavenly Punishment is not something unfamiliar to us. They have a first-level cultivator behind them. In this battle, I think the Heavenly Punishment may not necessarily lose. You all must remain calm. As several of you said, whether we can turn the tide depends on this battle."
