Eighty miles north of Xunyang City, there is an inconspicuous Shengman Village in the vast mountains. This is the most important stronghold of Luotian Sect in Qianzhou and even the entire southwest. In a sense, this is where its Qianzhou branch is located.

The more than 300 barbarians here have actually joined the Luotian Sect, becoming their best eyewitness and ears in Qianzhou, and also making this village the best place to hide after failure.

At this time, the Luotian Sect and the Huntian Army who had escaped from Xunyang were hiding in the village, waiting for further news to come. Although they thought that Long Tianxiang would be defeated before escaping, and Xunyang City would definitely not be able to defend it, they still had the intention of not being able to wait for the miracle to happen.

However, after another deduction, Mo Li came to the same failure conclusion, which made the faces of the people present very gloomy. Like Long Tianxiang, they have devoted too much time and effort to this matter. Even Xue Linjing, who has just arrived in the southwest, does not want to see such a failure result. After all, they were so close to success before, so close that they were within reach.

"Uncle Mo, is there really no possibility of a reversal?" A young man in his twenties asked with an indignant face. He was the real leader of the remnant of the Huntian Army, the son of Chang Hao, the King of Huntian, and Chang Fu. The name Mo Li gave Li Ling that day belonged to him.

Mo Li shook his head helplessly: "The combat power of the Dingxi Army is far stronger than we thought. Even the Shengman of several camps could not stop their troops, let alone the already uncoordinated Long family. I think that once the war is not good, many of the Xunyang defenders will surrender on the spot, and they will not last long.

"In other words, our overall plan will fail this time. Moreover, after this battle, the situation in the southwest will be very different, and the power of the government will be greatly increased. Maybe Xiao Ding will truly control the power of the two places, making it more difficult for us to find an opportunity to avenge the king!"

This made Chang Fu's expression even more gloomy. He wanted to refute it, but he knew that what the military advisor said was absolutely reasonable, so he could only sigh in the end: "What should we do next?"

"Yes, Mr. Mo, what are your plans next? Or do you still hide your identity again as before and wait for the next opportunity to come?" Hao Bao also asked with a depressed look on his face. There was a cooperation between the two parties after all, so naturally he had to care about it.

However, the person who answered the conversation was not from the Huntian Army, but Xue Linjing: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Mr. Mo, you have been planning to wait for this uprising for ten years. How many years will it take for you next time? And you also said that the situation in the southwest will completely change in the future, and there will be no such good opportunity again."

"Yes, it's harder to make the Huntian Army famous in Yunnan and Guizhou than this time. I'm afraid I won't see such a day. Fortunately, we still have the young master and many brothers who are still loyal to the Heavenly King." Mo Li said, looking at the young man beside him with his past.

However, the Luotian Sect was not optimistic about this young man. After getting along during this period of time, Chang Fu had never shown his abilities. Everything was Mo Li who was in charge. He was more of a symbolic meaning of the banner.

Xue Linjing then said: "Actually, Mr. Mo doesn't have to be too frustrated. There are still opportunities, it depends on whether you are willing to seize them."

Mo Li glanced at him and had already guessed what he meant in his heart. However, Chang Fu was happy when he heard this: "What's the chance?"

"It's very simple. Let's work together again to make a bigger career in the Central Plains. With Mr. Mo's talent and strategy, I believe that with the strength of our brothers in Luotian Sect, it will be enough to create a series of war in various parts of the Central Plains. As long as the Central Plains is in chaos, we will have great potential and it won't take long to replace him with the Sun family.

"At that time, the two southwest provinces are not your belongings. No, not only the southwest, but also the more territory you want, we can discuss it. Mr. Mo, what do you think, are you willing to join my Luotian Sect? As long as you are willing to nod, I believe that you will soon become an important figure in my sect, and you can choose the position of the guardian elder!"

Xue Linjing's tone was indeed very strong. He was just a helm leader, and he actually dared to give people a high position in the sect like the guardian and elder who were only under the sect leader. Mo Li did not say anything about this, but just frowned slightly, glanced at Chang Fu and said, "What about my young master? What will you make?"

"Young Master Chang is also a phoenix among people. As long as you go to the Central Plains, you can still be valued by the teachings." This time Xue Linjing's answer was a bit perfunctory. Obviously, he only liked Mo Li. As for the young master of the Huntian Army, whether he can join or not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Mo Li, who understood his attitude, just smiled: "We must go to Central Plains, but it is not now. Now we have all become the target of the government's focus on searching. At least we have to wait until the limelight has passed before entering the Central Plains. Then we will contact you."

"Since that's the case, it's hard to force me." Seeing that the other party's indifferent attitude, Xue Linjing did not continue to persuade him. Elder Zhao still had to make the final decision on this matter. "Then will you continue to stay here next?"

"Well, let's see what the result is for Xunyang before making a decision."

Just as Mo Li said this, the closed door was knocked on. As the door opened, a Luotian scholar guarding outside walked in with a serious expression, holding a note in his hand: "Xunyang's flying pigeon letter, two days ago, the city had been destroyed by the Dingxi Army, most of the Long family's children had surrendered, Long Tianxiang, and Long Sihai committed suicide!"

After hearing this report and reading the content on the paper, everyone present had a gloomy and black face. Although they were prepared, when the bad news came to implement, they still felt annoyed and lost, because it meant that their years of efforts had completely failed.

"Li Ling... After all, everything was caused by his existence, which caused loopholes in our overall plan and ultimately failed!" Mo Li gritted his teeth and said, he had already mastered some of the inside stories when he escaped, so he knew what role this young man played in this change.

Yes, if he hadn't traveled from Qianzhou to southern Yunnan, it would have been impossible for the Marquis of Dingxi to be wary of it and rush back to Kunzhou in time. In that case, Kunzhou would have fallen a few months ago, and the entire southern Yunnan would have been in chaos according to their established plans.

Then, he first led a large number of troops from the Luotian Sect, and then encircled and annihilated them with the Dingxi Army; then he colluded with the two sects of the Long family, and then instigated the three sects to disintegrate the Long family.

In Mo Li's opinion, this young man who was once used by him and was playing around has grown up extremely terrible in just a short period of time, but now he is restrained by him everywhere and has failed.

If I had known this, I should have killed him in Lanxi Town. It was obvious that there were opportunities at that time, and I really regretted it.

Also annoyed was Xue Linjing. Compared to Mo Li's thought of killing Li Ling at this moment, he really had the intention to kill from the beginning. After all, he came to the southwest to take the task of killing Li Ling.

But as a result, he let the target escape again and again. However, the brothers in the sect were constantly injured and died because of him. Now they were forced to hide in the deep mountains and forests, and they didn't even dare to show their faces. This made him even more uneasy. I wonder what severe punishment would be waiting for him after returning to the Central Plains this time. Elder Zhao would definitely not be able to spare him...

Just as the two of them were thinking about this hateful opponent at the same time, another Luo Tian scholar came to the front of the room. However, this time he did not speak out the news loudly like the previous person, but took two steps, approached Xue Linjing's ears, and muttered in a low voice.

After hearing this report, Xue Linjing's eyebrows suddenly raised, his eyes full of disbelief: "He is still alive, has anyone really seen them?"

"Yes, it was the brothers in our church who saw them, but they were all very injured..."

"That's a matter of course. Being able to live is already a miracle. How can you not be hurt?" Xue Linjing sighed and suddenly stood up, "Mr. Mo, I have something to do, so let's say goodbye. If you change your mind in the future, you can come to Zhongyuan to find our brothers in the sect..." As he said that, he said another way to contact Luotian Sect where he was secretly stumped in various places, and then left in a hurry.

Mo Li watched him leave thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly he sneered.

Chang Fuze looked puzzled: "Uncle Mo, what are they in a hurry to do?"

"It should be to kill someone, because in their eyes, some people pose greater threat to them than Xiao Ding and Li Ling." The answer given by Mo Li was obviously full of sarcasm.

...

In Xunyang City, Li Ling, who has been regarded as a life-and-death enemy by these fish who have missed the net, doesn't know the matter. Of course, even if he knows, he may not take it seriously. After all, he and these two sides have long been in a state of unstoppable death.

However, Xiao Ding suddenly asked someone to call him in front of him, and then solemnly entrusted him with a slight surprise: "Mr. Marquis, do you actually ask me to coordinate the financial and food affairs of this Qianzhou province?"

"Why, do you think you are not competent?" Facing Li Ling's questioning in surprise, Xiao Ding asked back with a smile.

"You can... you have never held such a position in the past. And I am not an official in the southwest, how can I interfere with it?"

"I am in a hurry to follow the power, and I can't stay here for a long time. There are not many people who can entrust major events to stay here, so I can only let you, Bier and Chengzhi, stay in Qianzhou for the trouble."
