Chapter 1507 Great Rumors

The Law Enforcer’s eyes were filled with a hint of heaviness. The last two shadows put forth their best efforts in a single strike, but they failed to kill Wu Juecheng, leaving him severely injured and afflicted by the marrow-devouring qi!

Moreover, the Law Enforcer initially thought that using the Heavenly Demon Qi would directly destroy Wu Juecheng. However, Wu Juecheng turned out to be so strong that he not only survived but also inflicted heavy injuries on the Law Enforcer.

If Wu Juecheng had died, the Law Enforcer wouldn’t mind participating in the mission even with his injured body. But now, Wu Juecheng was still alive!

“Yes,” the two people bowed and replied.

“Take my identification token. Seeing it is like seeing me. Mobilize the law enforcers and cooperate with Diwu Qingrou!” The Law Enforcer said coldly, “Do you understand?”

“We understand!”

Cooperating with Diwu Qingrou meant not cooperating with the eight great families!

Of course, the two people were no fools to the implications.

The Law Enforcer snorted, his eyes filled with resentment. He really didn’t expect Wu Juecheng to possess the Seven Poisons, which could temporarily suppress the Heavenly Demon Qi! Otherwise, Wu Juecheng would have died today, and the Law Enforcer wouldn’t have been so severely injured!

But now, it was too late for regrets.

It was an unfortunate coincidence for the Law Enforcer. Chu Yang had prepared the Seven Poisons for treating Chu Le’er’s injuries. Wu Juecheng naturally knew how to heal Chu Le’er’s wounds and asked Chu Yang if he had any leftovers…

When Wu Juecheng and the Law Enforcer were together, they didn’t have these Seven Poisons. However, during this one-year period, Chu Yang happened to give them to Wu Juecheng.

It was because of this that Wu Juecheng’s life was saved today!

The reason Chu Yang gave them to Wu Juecheng was that Wu Juecheng had accepted Chu Le’er as his disciple. It was Chu Yang’s gift for their first meeting. Chu Yang was able to gather these medicines partly because of the Grand Medicine Canon…

The Grand Medicine Canon was arranged by the Law Enforcer and the Medicine Valley…

In this sense, the Law Enforcer’s flawless plan was doomed to leave an opponent behind from the very beginning. If someone thought deeply about this, they would be dumbfounded— such things could actually happen in this world!

The Law Enforcer’s figure flashed, disappearing without a trace.

He didn’t trust anyone.

Not even his own personal guards!

So, he had to secretly find a place to recover using a secret method. He wouldn’t let anyone know his whereabouts. Although the injuries he sustained this time might have a slight impact on the Fifth Family’s grand plan, the Law Enforcer believed that with Diwu Qingrou, the problem wouldn’t be significant.

Moreover, right now, his injuries were the priority. Even if the Fifth Family were wiped out because of this… the Law Enforcer would still prioritize healing his wounds.

“It started because of me, and it will end because of me; it doesn’t matter,” the Law Enforcer thought.

As Wu Juecheng retreated, he felt relieved. He hadn’t expected Diwu Chouchang to be so terrifying and advanced to such a degree. This time, he had indeed been too careless…

“However, after this battle, the Law Enforcer will need at least four to five months to recover. This should be very beneficial for those youngsters,” Wu Juecheng thought.

“It’s just a pity for my old bones. It seems that I’ll have to request the Nine Tribulations Pill…” Wu Juecheng chuckled bitterly in his heart, suddenly feeling a surge of emotion: the Nine Tribulations Pill… the pill he had consumed in the past!

At this thought, Wu Juecheng couldn’t help but feel a sourness in his nose, sighing deeply before turning around and leaving.

He didn’t return to Chu Le’er’s side, as he was worried that if the Law Enforcer’s men managed to catch up with him… if the Heavenly Demon Qi within him flared up, he wouldn’t be able to protect his disciple.

Moreover, he didn’t want Chu Le’er to see his injured state.

The little girl would definitely cry…

Wu Juecheng headed northwest, deep in thought.

——

In these few days, Diwu Qingrou launched several attacks, each time being very cautious. Mo Tianji was stationed at the Li family, countering every move, blocking the soldiers and defending against the flood of attacks.

Diwu Qingrou’s attacks were measured, and Mo Tianji dealt with them skillfully.

Neither side gained an advantage or managed to exploit the other, resulting in a deadlock. Both sides moved like the wind, rushing back and forth, creating an almost unbearable tense atmosphere.

However, each side only lost a few dozen people.

The Li family was in a state of high alert, and the allied forces felt a storm brewing, with dark clouds pressing down on the city as if it was about to collapse.

In the few encounters, they only managed to touch the tail of the opposing force. The danger was so intense that even a Ninth-Rank Supreme would break out in a cold sweat.

Diwu Qingrou set up an ambush, and Mo Tianji commanded his men to break through. Diwu Qingrou’s overwhelming ambush only affected a small squad of the Li family’s men, utterly destroying them.

However, the main force managed to retreat safely. Those who retreated felt as if they had escaped with their lives. The powerful strength and ambush of the enemy left a lasting impression on everyone, making them never want to recall the experience!

If it hadn’t been for Mo Tianji’s quick thinking, perhaps all of them…

At this thought, their admiration for Mo Tianji grew even stronger. Even Li Wubo no longer had any doubts about Mo Tianji’s abilities.

Moreover, the Li family is in a precarious situation now. They don’t have anyone capable of turning the tide, so they have no choice but to give Mo Tianji full authority and unconditional trust.

During these operations, it seemed like a legitimate reason for the Li family to send Li Xiongtu to the battlefield, while Li Jue stayed behind with Mo Tianji. Mo Tianji had no objections to this arrangement; in fact, he even approved of it. Moreover, his interactions with Li Jue seemed to be getting closer, and they would occasionally share a joke.

For the Li family, this was like a ray of hope appearing before their eyes.

As for Li Xiongtu, his bravery was fully demonstrated in this war. With his increasing participation in battles, his natural fierceness enabled him to not only survive but also achieve numerous feats, gaining him great fame.

On the other side, Mo Tianji set up traps twice in a row, each time sending out all the Li family’s experts to deal with one or two factions of the eight families’ coalition. It’s important to note that the coalition’s strength was only about one-fifth of each family’s total power. Therefore, the Li family had a chance to defeat two factions of the coalition in a head-on confrontation, let alone through surprise attacks.

Each time, Diwu Qingrou realized something was wrong and quickly sent reinforcements to rescue them. If not for Diwu Qingrou’s command, the terrifying enemy might have turned the tables, defeating the coalition’s elite forces with their limited strength.

The horrifying power of the enemy alarmed the members of the eight great families and law enforcers, who had dominated the Nine Heavens for ten thousand years. Some even felt a chill of fear. After several encounters, many people thought that if Diwu Qingrou wasn’t present to calmly command the situation, they would rather return home than participate in this battle.

Many agreed that the crisis they had faced in the world for thousands of years was nothing compared to the close encounters with death here. Diwu Qingrou’s brilliant strategies, foresight, and ability to turn the tide made the experts of the eight great families compare him with the wise men of their families. They unanimously concluded that compared to Diwu Qingrou, their family’s strategists were simply trash and inferior.

During this time, Mo Tianji and Diwu Qingrou, the two commanders, didn’t have any glorious achievements, but they both established unshakable authority. Mo Tianji held absolute power, while Diwu Qingrou maintained full control.

All of this took place in just one short month.

No one could have known that the soaring prestige of these two commanders, unparalleled in history, was the result of their mutual understanding and cooperation, each helping the other to fulfill their own needs.

The ones who had to be sacrificed were a group of experts from the nine great families who had already submitted to them, admiring them wholeheartedly.

As Diwu Qingrou’s reputation shone brightly like the sun at its zenith, a rumor suddenly began to spread quietly among the coalition.

...

“Commander Diwu is currently just a member of a subsidiary family to the Zhuge family. He has no power, status, experience, or backing. But with just his own strength, he has reached such heights! And he’s only helping!”

“What if one day, Diwu Qingrou establishes his own family and has some power? What would happen then?”

This rumor spread through the coalition like a silent spring rain. Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively came up with an answer: if that happened, Commander Diwu would be invincible in the world!

Without power, status, backing, or experience, Diwu Qingrou could still make the world’s heroes bow their heads and submit. What if he had power, status, and backing?

There was no need to think about it.

Diwu Qingrou would be absolutely invincible!

But what did this invincibility mean?

It meant that Diwu Qingrou’s family would become the number one family in the Nine Heavens, and with over 90% certainty, they could unify the Nine Heavens.

Achieving the first-ever personal empire in ninety thousand years, doing what countless heroes could not do!

Unparalleled in history!

Another rumor arose: “If Commander Diwu establishes a family and we join them, becoming founding members and elders… what would happen?”

...

This question was even simpler, requiring no consideration. Everyone had the same answer in their hearts: we would go down in history and be renowned in the Nine Heavens as founding heroes!

Moreover, under such a person, the risk to our lives would be reduced by 90% or even more, compared to other families.

Suddenly, everyone’s heart was filled with excitement.
