Top city.

"Emperor Ling."

Xu Jian knelt in front of Ling Mo and bent his body as low as possible: "The troops in the upper city have been captured."

Originally, Xu Jian was not so humble.

But recently he discovered that Emperor Ling seemed to look down on him more and more.

In terms of ability, he knew that he was definitely not as good as Xu Kui.

Fortunately, he was able to survive.

Since he could not provide more help to Emperor Ling, all he could do was try his best to be a good servant.

Although he had no dignity, he didn't care.

What dignity can we talk about in front of Ling Mo?

What difference does it make whether you stand or kneel?

As long as you leave this door, dignity...

It will come back naturally.

"News just arrived: the enemy's large force has passed through Wuyang City."

Ling Mo leaned on the couch, slightly closed his eyes, hummed a little tune, and gently patted his raised knees.

After hearing Xu Jian's report, Ling Mo's eyes slowly opened a crack.

"No rush."

Ling Mo yawned lazily: "Let them enjoy our land for a while."

"clear."

Xu Jian replied.

"Is there still no movement from Old Man Su's side?"

Ling Mo asked.

Xu Jian shook his head: "I haven't received any news about his whereabouts yet."

"This old guy, has he become stupid after staying in Wujian Mountain?"

Ling Mo chuckled: "An old friend was killed, and you won't help to avenge him?"

Xu Jian did not comment.

Ling Mo sighed again, "In other words, Xu Jiang must be a man of integrity. To avenge his father, he came to me for revenge even though he knew he would die."

Xu Jian didn't react at all.

This sentence concerns two people, one is Xu Kui and the other is Xu Jiang.

If Xu Jiang showed any emotion...

He couldn't guarantee whether it would affect the moody Emperor Ling.

"That's all."

Emperor Ling waved his hand. "If Old Man Su really fights him, we'll just watch the excitement. But if they don't... just consider it as missing a spectacle."

Xu Jian was still kneeling on the ground.

"I'm tired, let's go down."

Emperor Ling lay down, turned over, and soon began to snore softly.

Xu Jian, on the other hand, used the smallest possible movement and moved out of the room little by little.

When he stood up again, his clothes and forehead were covered with sweat.

Because he has been with Ling Mo for many years, he knows better than anyone how terrifying this person is.

He was already a genius, and he also learned Xu Kui's skills.

At least in Xu Jian's opinion, this person has no shortcomings.

The situation outside seems very tense, but in fact, everything is on Ling Mo's chessboard.

His first move was to throw Xu Kui's body into a cage filled with mad dogs and deliver it to Xu Jiang's hands.

In Ling Mo's words, he grew up with Xu Jiang and he knew this old friend very well.

He knew that Xu Jiang would definitely mobilize troops.

Moreover, they will rush straight to the top of the city without regard for the consequences.

Xu Jiang was of great help to the people of Xiacheng, and the fact that Xu Jiang could safely hand over the entire rear area to the people of Xiacheng showed that the relationship between the two sides was not an ordinary cooperation.

There is a lot of friendship involved in this kind of cooperation.

Xu Jiang was a very temperamental person, and Ling Mo had no doubt that he would make many true friends during the twenty years he lived in the lower city.

Perhaps the Ning Fan in the lower city is one of these friends.

Then, things will develop in two directions.

Watching Xu Jiang go to his death, if the people in the lower city do not take any action, they will completely lose contact with the people in the upper city.

If you don't even save Xu Jiang, who would believe that you people from the lower city would really treat us as the same kind?

The people in Shangcheng might not dare to truly resist, but...

But they know how to turn themselves into termites.

It will take the efforts of several generations to eliminate this sense of rejection and re-cultivate centripetal force.

If things really develop in this direction, these people in the lower city will have to deal with their own family affairs for a while, let alone attacking the top city.

And the other direction, like now.

The people of Xiacheng sent troops to support Xu Jiang.

There is an old sword god in Wujian Mountain who has not appeared for many years.

From a very early stage, Ling Mo paid more attention to this old guy.

He doesn't like people standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

However, Ling Mo is a rather lazy person. Although he is often unhappy because of the old guy, he did not take the initiative to go to Wujian Mountain to meet him.

And when he discovered that the people in the lower city began to gather towards Luoyue City, he knew that they were coming from Scimitar Ridge.

Ling Mo naturally couldn't invite the old Sword God.

However, it is still possible to use the sword skills and martial arts accumulated by Diancheng over the years to hire someone with some skills.

This person is Zhuo Jiunian.

Ling Mo took a fancy to him, not only because he possessed the strength of Qihuang.

He heard that Zhuo Jiunian had a good personal relationship with the old Sword God.

At this age, all the close friends have passed away and are buried in the ground.

You will probably cherish your old friends more.

At the same time, Ling Mo also wanted to see whether the Lord of the Lower City named Ning Fan was just bragging about the Eight Desolations or he really had such strength.

Try using Zhuo Jiunian, it's quite suitable.

On the other side, Qinglai City.

The task Ling Mo gave them was very simple, which was to put enough pressure on the opponent at Scimitar Ridge.
