A bloody mist filled the air.
But just as they were about to fall in front of the bed, they disappeared without any warning.
It's as if it's evaporated.
The fragrance of the girl and the flowers quickly covered up the smell of blood.
Except for the girl lying in a pool of blood, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
The dancing girls kneeling on the ground below all lowered their heads, not daring to look at what was happening in front of them, and not even daring to make the slightest sound.
Because they knew that if they couldn't help making a sound, they might incur the displeasure of the emperor in front of them.
By then, their fate might be the same as that girl's.
"What were you about to say?"
Ling Mo did not let the girls leave, but asked the old man beside him.
"Go back to Emperor Ling."
The old man bowed slightly and said, "News has come back from Jinfeng City, saying that those people from the lower city are gathering a large number of troops."
Ling Mo was still leaning on the couch, showing no emotion at all.
"When I don't tell you to stop, just keep talking."
"clear."
The old man bowed again.
"According to the information I received, the total number of lower city troops gathered at the prison gate has exceeded one million, and the number is still increasing."
"According to my guess, they are definitely planning to support Xu Jiang. Once they are fully assembled, they should launch a general attack on us."
"As for the strength of the people in the lower city, they shouldn't be very strong, but they have a large number of weapons. If they join, the battle situation will definitely be affected."
"Add to that the information we received earlier. The people of Lower City don't understand Huang's cultivation, but the action of Jinfeng City and several other small cities ended in failure. This means that there must be masters with considerable strength among them."
"What is certain is that this expert is definitely not the Lin Chuan who follows Xu Jiang."
"Lin Chuan's strength is not enough to eliminate all the people involved in that operation."
"And Xu Jiang returned only after that incident was over."
"Through our analysis over the past few days, there may be one or even several people in the lower city with strength around the Six Desolations level."
Having said that, the old man shut up.
"Are you done?"
Ling Mo patted his knee and asked softly.
"Replying to Emperor Ling, yes."
"Oh."
Ling Mo's laughter was filled with mockery and contempt: "Even though we're brothers from the same mother, there are still differences..."
The old man didn't look up, but his body trembled slightly.
"How can there be such disparity between children born to the same parents?"
Ling Mo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Apart from being insidious, you can't compare to the teacher. In other aspects... you are far behind."
There is only one person Ling Mo can call a teacher.
Emperor's tutor Xu Kui.
The old man standing next to the couch at this time also happened to be surnamed Xu.
Xu Kui's brother, Xu Jian.
"Xu Jiang reached Beiyang Mountain a year ago."
After mocking Xu Jian, Ling Mo began to talk to himself: "Everyone thinks that it was because of our fate in Diancheng that he was blocked from marching north."
"Do you think so too?"
Xu Jian remained silent.
In fact, he did think so.
"The number of troops we deployed isn't large. At least... it's not enough to stop him."
"So in my opinion, Xu Jiang is not unable to walk anymore, but wants to rest and recuperate."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you what my teacher taught me. This will also help you understand the gap between you and your older brother, so you don't feel resentful."
Having said that, Ling Mo raised his body slightly and sat cross-legged on the couch casually.
"Ever since Xu Jiang established the Qiu Camp, he has fought with swiftness!"
"We haven't had a war here for many years. Most cities were caught off guard by Xu Jiang starting such a large-scale war."
"It is precisely because of this that Xu Jiang has been able to travel smoothly and achieve success wherever his troops go."
"To be honest, Xu Jiang's initial strength wasn't as strong as people saw."
"It's just that his methods were cruel enough to suppress the anger before everyone could regain their courage."
"During this process, Xu Jiang frantically expanded his strength. When everyone came to their senses..."
"He's really gotten stronger!"
"Use momentum to cultivate momentum. This is the lesson my teacher taught me."
Ling Mo smiled, as if thinking of something happy.
"Xu Jiang and I have played together since we were young, so I know him well."
"His greatest strength is that he knows when to have fun and when to be serious."
"And when he gets serious... he's scary."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't let you throw him down."
"After all, he's my only friend since childhood. I can't bear to kill him."
"But I really didn't expect him to be able to come up."
After a brief sigh, Ling Mo sighed softly: "But why did he... come up here?"
"Why did he insist on me killing him?"
"Ah, we've strayed off topic."
Ling Mo waved his hand. "As for why Xu Jiang suddenly stopped, my first thought was that he wanted to secure the rear."
"He knew very well that it was unrealistic to capture the Peak City with the power he had."
