Chapter 95: Preparation

If Mo Xiu agreed to a battle, everything was easy to say.

But if Mo Xiu refused, the people of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce in various parts of the Yan Kingdom would probably not be able to escape. Those who Mo Xiu sent to control Azure Prefecture, and those of the Mo Family in Sun Martial City might all be finished, even Mo Zhuo's body who had been dead for a long time might be humiliated.

No matter how people looked at it, Mo Xiu had reached the point where he could not refuse, but Mo Xiu was very derisive of this, and said with a cold face, "You can't threaten me."

Yan Wuji was stunned.

Before he could say anything, he heard a few "thud, thud, thud," and the executioners behind him who had their swords on the necks of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce fell to the ground.

There was no screaming, and no appearance of panic as if the existence of those people were obliterated by an extremely strange force at the same time.

The twenty or thirty members of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce were intact, but before they realized what had happened, another invisible force pulled them into the defensive array.

This was naturally Mo Xiu's action, killing people without moving his hand, this was also obviously the method of Soul Devouring Knives.

Although Yan Wuji had heard of such a method from Mo Xiu, it was the first time he had seen it, so that he was taken aback at the critical moment.

When he reacted, he shouted angrily, "Don't you hope to be succeeded!"

With that, he raised his hand and grabbed two of the members of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

However, in the next instant, a figure rushed out of the defensive array and slapped Yan Wuji with a palm of lightning speed.

"Boom!"

Yan Wuji was taken by surprise by this sudden palm and backed up several steps. When he looked up, he found that the twenty or thirty members of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had already entered the defensive array, but Mo Xiu was standing outside the array at this moment and looking at him flatly.

"Protect His Majesty!"

A nearby general yelled, and the nearby army began to move.

But soon, Yan Wuji raised his hand and signaled them not to act rashly, so they stopped again and stood there.

Staring at Yan Wuji for a while, Mo Xiu turned around and returned to the big array, and with his back facing Yan Wuji, he slowly said, "You can't threaten me, but I happen to want to kill you. Three days later, you and I will go to the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds on time, so you can wash your neck and wait until you die," after saying that, he left.

Yan Wuji stared at Mo Xiu's back, his eyes flickering, and when Mo Xiu's back disappeared from his sight, he gave a cold snort before calling someone and ordering a few words. And with that, his figure disappeared from the spot.

...

Su Mansion.

Su Qianqian handed a challenging book to Mo Xiu.

Of course, it wasn't that Su Qianqian was going to challenge Mo Xiu, and this challenging book was not Su Qianqian's, but it was sent by Yan Wuji to be sent by Su Qianqian to Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu opened the challenging book and looked at the specific time and place that were written on it, as well as the parties involved in the battle.

Originally, Mo Xiu thought that the so-called challenge would determine life and death. It was a battle between Mo Xiu and Yan Wuji and decided the victory or defeat. After reading the challenging book, he realized that it was not.

It was written in the challenging book that each side could lead 10,000 people to fight to the death in the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds in the northern suburbs.

After reading the content of the challenging book, Mo Xiu couldn't help being a little speechless.

Yan Ran was standing beside Mo Xiu at the moment, and also read the content of the war book.

She also seemed to be shocked by Yan Wuji's shamelessness, and whispered, "Can bring 10,000 people each? Why didn't he say to bring one million people each?"

For Yan Wuji, the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, it might be difficult to mobilize one million people in three days, but mobilizing 100,000 people was easy, not to mention that only 10,000 people would fight.

It was very difficult for Mo Xiu to mobilize 10,000 people.

Not to mention the mobilization of 10,000 people, it was hard to say whether there are 10,000 people in the entire Five Carapace District.

As for those forces outside the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, although some forces owed Mo Xiu's favor, it was obviously impossible for them to help Mo Xiu deal with Yan Wuji.

Therefore, Mo Xiu's players could only be selected from the Five Carapace District, and even if they were selected from the Five Carapace District, the number of people who would fight in the end would certainly not reach 10,000, and it was hard to say whether there were even 1,000 people.

In addition, Yan Wuji said that the two sides could lead 10,000 people into the battle, but the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds was Yan Wuji's territory. Even if Yan Wuji didn't set up a trap, wouldn't Yan Wuji leave one hundred and eighty thousand troops there?

Even the expert of the Seraphic Sword Sect was very likely to join the battle and fight Mo Xiu with Yan Wuji.

No matter how he looked at it, Yan Wuji was too shameless.

But Mo Xiu didn't care. He just looked at Su Qianqian and said, "You can help me ask and see if anyone in the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is willing to play with me. By the way, tell them that for those who are willing to play with me, I will help them upgrade their cultivation base to the Spirit Vessel Realm."

Su Qianqian was taken aback, nodded, and said, "It's fine to help you ask, but I guess there are not many people willing, after all..."

She didn't say the following words, but the meaning was not difficult to guess. Mo Xiu seemed to have no chance of winning, so what if he could raise their cultivation bases to the Spirit Vessel Realm? Rather than raising the cultivation base to the Spirit Vessel Realm and then going to death, it was better not to raise the cultivation base and stay in the Five Carapace District, so that they could live for a while.

"If someone wants to go, let them come to me, but no one wants it, it's no big deal either, I'm not going to rely on them to turn things around," Mo Xiu said dismissively.

Su Qianqian stopped talking as she turned and left.

Only Mo Xiu and Yan Ran remained.

Yan Ran read the challenging book again, and immediately said, "Yan Wuji is really hard to change by nature, so I think even if he said that he won't need to set traps, it is only his mouth that talked, not his real heart."

Mo Xiu glanced at Yan Ran and asked suddenly, "What kind of trap do you think he will set?"

Yan Ran thought about it briefly and replied, "Maybe Chen Xiaoyang of the Seraphic Sword Sect will be involved in secretly, launching a sneak attack on you at critical moments, flanking you with Yan Wuji, and killing you alive?"

"Not that simple," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "there should be a battier covering the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds. Once I bring people into it, it may not be easy to leave. You said Chen Xiaoyang could be involved in secret, but Yan Wuji knows that my strength should not be weaker than Chen Xiaoyang's, so he may not let Chen Xiaoyang take the shot. So in my opinion, it's the 10,000 people he will bring to the battle that is not so simple..."

"According to you, isn't that place a den of tigers and dragons?" Yan Ran frowned slightly.

"For most people, it is a den of tigers and dragons. To me, it is just a perfect place to kill him," Mo Xiu didn't take it seriously.

"Okay," Seeing Mo Xiu's confident look, Yan Ran relaxed a little.

Later, she said, "I will go with you when the time comes. Although my current cultivation level is not high, it shouldn't be a hindrance to you."

"Fine," Mo Xiu nodded lightly, and immediately asked, "what happened to Wu Qingshan?"

After Mo Xiu rescued Su Qianqian from the East Palace, he took Su Qianqian into the Sky Prison and rescued eight special prisoners. Wu Qingshan was one of them. He wanted to stay in the Sky Prison and was unwilling to die.

Su Qianqian said that Wu Qingshan's identity was the confidant of the former emperor and the former commander of the Forbidden Army. It was precisely because of this that Mo Xiu could remember Wu Qingshan.

Originally, Wu Qingshan's hands and feet had been severed, but the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had medicines to restore the meridians, not to mention that there was also Mo Xiu, who was awarded the title of Divine Physician in the Five Carapace District.

Now, Wu Qingshan should be in the process of restoring meridians.

But what Mo Xiu asked was not about Wu Qingshan's recovery, but what Wu Qingshan felt after learning about Yan Ran's identity. After all, Wu Qingshan was also the confidant of the former emperor.

Yan Ran did not expect that Mo Xiu would suddenly mention Wu Qingshan.

She was taken aback for a moment, and shook her head, "I haven't seen him either, it's not very clear, or should I have someone call him now?"

"Yes," Mo Xiu nodded.

Yan Ran went out and gave orders. After returning, she waited for a while with Mo Xiu, only to see Wu Qingshan walking in from the outside with a strange and awkward look.

As soon as he arrived in front of Yan Ran, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and said, "This criminal minister sees Your Royal Highness!"

"Get up," Yan Ran responded indifferently.

When she was alone with Mo Xiu, Yan Ran behaved no different from ordinary girls. When she was with Lin Jie, Mo Ruyi, Su Qianqian, and others, she could also show a heart-to-heart look, even in front of Lin Jiannan and Fang Shuping, she could put her posture very low.

However, Yan Ran was the real Yan Ran at this time. The noble and icy temperament of snow lotus on top of the frozen mountain was shown by her vividly. This was the majesty that a princess deserved.

Of course, there was also the Holy Saint Sutra to boot, otherwise, her temperament would not be so obvious.

After Wu Qingshan heard this, he still did not get up but knelt down, touched the ground with his head, and said heavily, "This minister is guilty!"

Yan Ran asked blankly, "What is your crime?"

Wu Qingshan: "This criminal official is greedy for life and fear of death. When the military power was seized, His Majesty was killed. This criminal official could not follow his death, so this criminal official was really ashamed of His Majesty's trust and cultivation."

Yan Ran did not comment on this matter but looked at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu said, "Now that you know you are guilty, I'll give you the opportunity to erase your crimes. Three days later, follow me to the Northern Suburbs Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds to break the battle and kill the enemy."

"This..." Wu Qingshan was dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, I already prepared a surefire solution."

As Mo Xiu said, he used his Divine Consciousness to carve an array map in Wu Qingshan's Sea of ​​Knowledge, "You can go back and study this array map. It will have miraculous effects by then."

...

After Wu Qingshan left, Yan Ran asked, "Is this all right?"

"Not enough," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "I'll go out."

"Why are you going out?"

Mo Xiu didn't answer but take out the Abyss Demon Sword before he disappeared.
