No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
"The rear is unstable and the front is weak. What he wants is revenge, not death."
"Then he must first stabilize his own power, then seek development, and ultimately achieve a situation where he can rival my Peak City."
"But gradually, I realized something was wrong."
"He didn't even bother to take care of the rear!"
"Instead, we're becoming increasingly passive on the front lines, and it feels like we're about to collapse."
"That's strange. I didn't put too much pressure on him. If this is all he can do, then what can he use to seek revenge on me?"
"And all of this, from the moment the prison door was completely opened, I understood it all."
Ling Mo smiled, his eyes curved into crescents.
"Those rumors outside, true and false, have confused me."
"At least, it's true that he's waiting for reinforcements from the city."
"Answer me now. Do you think it's possible for the troops in the lower city to break through the top city?"
The sudden question left Xu Jian unable to react for a moment.
But just as he was about to speak, he found that there was a hint of coldness in Ling Mo's voice.
"What I want to hear is your truest thoughts, not telling me that Summit City is invincible."
Xu Jian's Adam's apple moved.
"It will cause us some trouble, but... it will be difficult to defeat us."
"That's right."
Ling Mo nodded in satisfaction, a smile reappearing on his face: "Then why do you think they can't take it down?"
"Absolutely a master!"
Xu Jian raised his head and spoke each word with emphasis: "No one can fight Emperor Ling! Including Xu Jiang!"
"Um."
Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully again, then leaned forward and asked, "Guess what Xu Jiang is waiting for?"
Xu Jian's body trembled, his eyes full of disbelief!
He thought of the answer, but...
But I think this answer is too bold.
"He's waiting for someone...who can fight me."
Ling Mo bared his teeth.
"This person is from the lower city."
