Chapter 1495 The Wise Men Enter the Li Family

Li Wubo’s face reddened slightly as he forced himself to remain calm and asked in a low voice, “Xiongtu, do you know these three people?”

Li Xiongtu’s face also turned somewhat excitedly red, “Patriarch, these are the people I mentioned who can help the Li family!”

With that, Li Wubo had no more doubts. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Everyone looked at the three people who slowly approached, their eyes filled with admiration. These three, facing dozens of high-ranking Supreme Masters, remained calm and composed as they walked leisurely.

Looking at these three people, Li Xiongtu’s heart surged with emotions. He couldn’t help but recall the days in the Middle Three Heavens; back then, even though his strength was weak, he was ignorant of the vastness of the world and moved freely, wielding great influence.

At that time, he had connections with these three people. Initially, their relationship had been quite ordinary, then they gradually developed a competitive spirit, and finally, they fought together in the Desperate Lake battle.

When he thought of the battle at Desperate Lake, Li Xiongtu immediately thought of Dong Wushang! That ignited his fighting spirit, and a heroic aura suddenly rose within him. Unable to hold back, he stepped forward and shouted, “It’s you! Where is Dong Wushang?”

His voice boomed like thunder.

Ao Xieyun, Mo Tianji, and Rui Butong were also sizing up the people in front of them.

As Li Xiongtu stepped forward, it was as if a mountain had appeared in front of the three of them, majestic and imposing. At that moment, the three of them had a familiar feeling: this man seemed so much like Dong Wushang!

Mo Tianji smiled and said, “Xiongtu, it’s been a long time; do you only remember Dong Wushang? What about all our other brothers… have you forgotten them all?”

Li Xiongtu snorted and replied, “Of course I remember you!”

Mo Tianji’s words about ‘so many brothers’ made the expressions of joy on the faces of the Li family members even more intense.

Only then did Mo Tianji turn his head, looked at Li Wubo, and smiled, “This esteemed senior exudes authority and controls the winds and clouds; could this be the Li family’s Patriarch?”

Knowing that the other party might be the Nine Tribulations, Li Wubo did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly laughed, “Indeed, it is I. May I ask the names of the three of you?”

Mo Tianji replied, “My name is Mo Tianji, this is Ao Xieyun, and this is Rui Butong.” With a somewhat melancholic smile, he continued, “The blockade outside is tight, and the other brothers are still trying to break through. Big Brother was worried that you wouldn’t be able to hold on, so he focused his power and sent the three of us in first.” Li Wubo’s face turned red with excitement, and he stuttered, “As long as you’re here, it’s good, it’s good!”

He understood that the ‘Big Brother’ Mo Tianji mentioned should be the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword.

Li Jue stood behind them, looking at the three with a hint of jealousy. He said, “Now that Diwu Qingrou’s army has encircled and besieged us with countless tricks, it is difficult to defend against them. I’m afraid that under the heavens, only Chu Yang is capable of resisting him. Do the three of you have confidence in countering Diwu Qingrou?”

Li Wubo glanced at him sideways, signaling him not to speak recklessly.

Li Xiongtu finally reacted and said, “Patriarch, this person is the one I mentioned earlier who can counter Diwu Qingrou. This is Mo Tianji, known as the Divine Calculation Ghost. He is always ingenious and leaves no stone unturned in his strategies. He has never been defeated in planning from afar. With him here, let’s not talk about our martial prowess for now, but at least we won’t suffer in terms of schemes.”

As soon as Li Xiongtu finished speaking, the expressions of all the Li family’s Supreme Masters changed, and the four words “Nine Tribulations Strategist” rose in their hearts.

There was a burst of ecstasy.

Mo Tianji smiled faintly, “I came here precisely for this purpose. However, whether we can withstand or not depends on the martial strength present here. After all, if our strength is too weak, even with countless strategies, it would be of no use.”

Li Wubo let out a long sigh and said, “Rest assured, Mo Shixiong. Although we are not as strong as our opponents, the gap between us is not too great.”

He then gestured respectfully, “Please, let us continue our conversation in the hall.”

Mo Tianji nodded and smiled, his expression as gentle as the ripples of spring water, “I would be honored to oblige.”

His smile gave people a feeling of being bathed in a gentle breeze.

Accompanied by everyone, they all entered the hall and took their seats according to their respective positions.

After some idle chitchat, they returned to the main topic.

“May I ask, Patriarch Li, what percentage of the Li family’s strength remains and what losses have been sustained?” Mo Tianji asked slowly, “I need accurate data. This is related to our strategic deployment and survival.”

This meant that if they wanted his help, they must be truthful with him.

Li Wubo nodded and said, “Currently, the Li family’s strength is about 75%, with a loss of 25%. Moreover, all the peripheral families have been wiped out. However, our high-end strength remains undamaged.”

Mo Tianji nodded. Seventy-five percent was close to his estimate; now, he would focus on the specific deployment and the numbers of their high-end fighters.

“Among them, there are six eighth-rank supremes, two of whom are at the peak, two at the intermediate level, and two at the beginning level. There are eleven seventh-rank supremes, with two at the peak, one at the high level, three at the intermediate level, and the rest at the beginning level. As for the sixth-rank supremes…”

Li Wubo meticulously presented the Li family’s strength: “In total, we have 113 experts above the supreme level. In addition, we have more than 200 saint-level experts. Furthermore, after the initial Law Enforcer’s command, we established two secret units with a combined strength of 300 people, including 93 supremes. However, their cultivation levels are not very high, with the highest being only 4th Rank. The rest are all saint-level, but they are all above 6th Rank saint-level.”

At this point, Mo Tianji raised his head and frowned, “What about the Li family’s ninth-rank supremes?”

Li Wubo hesitated for a moment and said, “Only our family’s ancestor and his personal bodyguard, who is also his sworn brother, are ninth-rank Supreme Masters. Our ancestor is a ninth-rank supreme at the intermediate peak level, while the bodyguard is at the intermediate level. However, these two…”

Mo Tianji nodded, “They might not necessarily take action?” Li Wubo gave a bitter smile, “Perhaps when the family faces a life and death situation, the two ancestors might take action…”

Mo Tianji uttered a sound of acknowledgment, then lowered his head, seemingly contemplating something. No one dared to disturb him.

After a while, Mo Tianji said, “Please arrange accommodations for the three of us, Patriarch Li. We have not seen Xiongtu for a long time, so can we stay together?”

Everyone was taken aback. Was he going to sleep after just clarifying these matters?

Li Wubo said, “Mo Shixiong… ahem, what about the countermeasures?”

During this period, the Li family was truly terrified by Diwu Qingrou’s unpredictable schemes, fearing them to the core.

“Regarding the strategy…” Mo Tianji smiled faintly, “For now, you may not have confidence in me. I will take the liberty of directing the next countermeasure when the enemy makes their move to see the results. Additionally, please send someone to deliver the map of the northwestern terrain to my residence.”

“Alright!” Li Wubo agreed without hesitation.

He immediately felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest.

With the Nine Tribulations Strategist here, regardless of the future outcome, he felt that half of the pressure on him had been alleviated.

At the same time, a sudden thought arose in his mind: What if… one of the Nine Tribulations were to fall into the hands of the Eight Great Clans…?

At present, four of the Nine Tribulations were in the Li family, but the most crucial Sword Master was not among them.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity!

This thought flashed through his mind.

As he was thinking about this, Mo Tianji was observing his expression, revealing a faint smile on his face, like a gentle spring breeze.

When Li Wubo escorted Mo Tianji and the others to their rest, he couldn’t help but inquire through a secret message, “May I ask… Mo Shixiong, what did the Sword Master say?”

Mo Tianji fell silent for a moment, and then replied through a secret message, “The Sword Master… said nothing.”

...

Li Wubo’s heart sank, and he forced a smile, “Thank you, Shixiong.”

Mo Tianji nodded gently.

After Mo Tianji and the others left, Li Wubo let out a sigh of relief, and then said, “Third Ancestor, Fifth Ancestor, Jue’er, Batian, and all the elders, please come with me…”

Everyone agreed and followed Li Wubo inside.

The remaining people knew that these important figures had urgent matters to discuss, which most likely involved coordinating with the Nine Tribulations, so they quickly excused themselves.

“How did you come to help me?” After returning to Li Xiongtu’s courtyard, Li Xiongtu finally asked the question, his eyes filled with confusion.

He was too embarrassed and cautious to ask this question in the hall earlier.

Since the other party had come to help Li Xiongtu, asking this question would have likely dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the Li family members.

Mo Tianji said indifferently, “Helping you is also a part of our training.”

...

Li Xiongtu snorted, not believing it in his heart. Mo Tianji raised his head to look at him and said through a secret message, “Li Xiongtu, no matter why we’re helping you, your Li family only had a glimmer of hope after we arrived. I hope you’ll cooperate with me to stabilize the situation first… If you expose the events of that year, we will leave immediately, and it’ll be up to your Li family to withstand the siege of the Eight Great Clans and the Law Enforcers!”

Li Xiongtu’s eyes narrowed, staring fiercely at Mo Tianji.

Mo Tianji snorted and calmly sat down.

Li Xiongtu glared at him for a while before finally sitting down and asking sullenly, “What is Dong Wushang’s current rank?”

Rui Butong chuckled, “Just a little bit higher than yours.”

A fervent fighting spirit flashed in Li Xiongtu’s eyes.

A girl in white brought tea, and Li Xiongtu’s face showed a tender expression, “You could have let the servants do this, why did you come out yourself?”

The girl in white said, “They are your friends, so of course, I should serve them myself.”

She smiled and greeted Mo Tianji and the others with a bow, “Hello, everyone.”

Mo Tianji and the others stood up simultaneously, smiling, “Hello, younger sister. You are indeed a beauty.”

Li Xiongtu immediately became furious, “You are younger than me! If you want to address her, call her sister-in-law.”

Rui Butong burst into laughter, “Younger sister sounds better, it’s smoother.” He then shamelessly approached the girl, “Younger sister, look at your brother here, still a bachelor. If you have any good sisters or friends… introduce me.”
