Mo Tianji said, "I can only say that if Li Xiongtu can continue to live, his achievements will be even higher than yours. Maybe even much higher."
Li Chunbo sighed. "It's enough that you can say this. My life's experience in martial arts is all on Li Xiongtu. He can be considered my successor … I have no regrets. "
Mo Tianji finally understood why Li Xiongtu's cultivation could improve by leaps and bounds in this period of time. So that was the reason. He said, "The people in the Li Clan … What does Elder Li plan to do?"
Li Chunbo's gaze swept across the hall. Everyone felt that the elder elder's gaze was like thunder and lightning, penetrating their hearts. Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
Li Chunbo sighed deeply. "Other than a limited number of people and the old, weak, women and children … my Li Clan … is already full of people who deserve to die! My efforts back then have been squandered away. I didn't get any inheritance. My original intention of establishing the clan was also completely abandoned a few thousand years ago! "
His voice was even trembling a little. "Mo Tianji … When you reorganize the world order … even though killing is unavoidable, even though human nature is greedy and insatiable … I still hope that you can put loyalty and filial piety in the list of priorities. In that case …"
Mo Tianji's heart trembled. He raised his head and looked at Li Chunbo.
Li Chunbo's eyes met his. Those eyes that had seen through the vicissitudes of life were already filled with fatigue and stillness.
"This world has long made me feel disgusted and disgusted. I don't want to stay in this world anymore, nor do I want to go to the Heavenly Imperial Court. I don't want to see any of my old friends from back then … Until now, the only thing left is to fight to the death! "
Mo Tianji didn't speak anymore.
Li Chunbo didn't send any more voice transmissions.
…
"Everyone, the cruelest war is about to begin. I should have told everyone that I wish everyone good luck and a triumphant return. But now, not only is it meaningless to say those empty words, it's also very irresponsible. "Mo Tianji sorted out his emotions. He adjusted his tone and faced everyone present. He said with unusual frankness, "For the sake of the bloodline of our descendants. I want to tell everyone one last truth seriously — Be prepared to die! "
Everyone gathered below had a solemn expression on their faces.
"Since Senior Li has entrusted me with such an important task today, I, Mo Tian Ji, can only do my best. However, the enemy is too powerful. The most important thing now is no longer to fight for a temporary victory or defeat with the enemy, but to preserve the Li Clan's lineage, hoping for the day when they can make a comeback. We must seize the opportunity to protect the descendants of the bloodline and help them escape. As for the method of cover, there is only one word — sacrifice! "
Mo Tian Ji said, "I'll solemnly remind everyone for the last time — Each clan is only allowed to have two people! It would be best if he was alone! Also, let me give you a word of advice. Don't try to play any tricks anymore … Right now, our bloodline is on the run. Sacrificing the entire clan in exchange for a tiny chance of survival … If any part of our clan has a problem from within, then … don't blame me for not reminding you all. Then, the only outcome will be the extermination of our entire clan! I believe that everyone understands this point. Don't try to take millet out of the fire and drag others down with you! "
It was quiet down there. For a long time, no one spoke. Everyone was trying their best to hold their breaths. For a moment, the hall, which had a radius of ten thousand feet, was densely packed with people. However, there was no sound at all. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Li Wubo stood at one side while Li Jue and Li Batian stood beside him. At this moment, the three of them seemed to be deep in thought. However, only they knew what exactly they were thinking about.
"Now, let's do a headcount and divide the battle teams. Eighth grade Supreme Martial Artists and above, please step forward, "Mo Tian Ji said calmly.
Li Chunbo took the lead and stepped forward. Immediately after, Li Xiangsi and the others followed suit.
"Eight!" Mo Tian Ji frowned. "There should be a total of 11. This means that in the previous battle, three eighth grade Supreme Martial Artists have already been sacrificed … Among these eight, there are still two who are seriously injured and their combat power has been greatly reduced. Excluding Elder Li and the other three who have just appeared today, this means that … in the previous battle, we have already lost more than half of our combat power!"
"The terrifying strength of the enemy is evident from this."
"The enemy's reinforcements are coming from all directions and they are almost inexhaustible. However, here, we have no backup inside and no reinforcements outside. It can be said that one death is one less enemy. Everyone, don't think that the situation will be so optimistic just because Elder Li and the others are here! "
The expressions of the Li Clan members became even more solemn.
"Next, seventh grade Supreme Martial Artists, please step forward," Mo Tian Ji said again.
Another seventeen people took a step forward.
"Third grade Supreme Martial Artists!"
25 people.
"Fifth grade Supreme Martial Artists!"
However, only ten fifth grade Supreme Martial Artists stepped forward. In the recent battles, fifth grade Supreme Martial Artists had already become the leaders of the troops and were the ones who were most likely to lose their lives.
"Fourth grade!"
There were still 28 fourth grade Supreme Martial Artists remaining. Furthermore, they were all injured. Li Xiongtu was among them.
"Third grade to first grade."
When this order was given, the expressions of the Li Clan members became even more terrible.
There were only ten people of three grades of Supreme Martial Artists in total!
"At its peak, the Li Clan had a total of 211 Supreme Martial Artist level experts." Li Xiangsi heaved a long sigh. "Now, including us, there are only 174 of them. Many of them are also injured and their combat power has been greatly reduced."
"Supreme Martial Artist experts are formed through the accumulation of tens of thousands of years, countless years and countless resources. Now, within a year … we have lost 117 of them. Furthermore, more than 80 of them have died in the four months of battles. This is a testament to how tragic it is. "
Li Chunbo sighed. "This is already a kind of fortune. If not for Mo Tian Ji's planning behind the scenes in these four months, I'm afraid there might not even be many left of these 174 people."
"The remaining Martial Saint experts, as long as they are fifth grade and above, step forward," Mo Tian Ji said again.
…
"Those Martial Saints below fifth grade, step forward … Martial Monarch experts, step forward … Those below Martial Monarch level, all Martial Emperors and Martial Kings, step forward and line up outside."
Mo Tian Ji took the lead and walked out.
Li Chunbo seemed to know what Mo Tian Ji was going to do. Together with Li Xiangsi, Li Wubo and a few other Elders of the clan, he followed him out.
Halfway through, Mo Tian Ji stopped in his tracks.
He didn't turn back. Instead, he looked straight ahead and asked, "I want to know, if the Li Clan is defeated in the end and all the experts and those who can fight are dead, how will the enemy deal with the remaining women, children and elderly?"
Li Chunbo's eyes trembled violently. He had no excuse to speak. Beside him, Li Xiangsi sighed and said, "The possibility of them being wiped out is infinitely high!"
Mo Tianji trembled slightly. "How many old, weak, sick, disabled, women, children, and children are here now?"
Li Wubo replied, "About 730,000 people."
This was undoubtedly a rather huge number. It was so huge that everyone was speechless for a moment.
Although these people also had a certain level of combat power, compared to the enemy outside, they were worse than babies. Faced with a strong enemy, other than waiting to be killed, there was no room for resistance!
Mo Tian Ji asked calmly, "When you invade other clans and expand your territory, how do you deal with the captives or the defeated, especially the women, children and elderly? Don't tell me that the Li Clan has never invaded other clans! Or that the Li Clan has never taken captives! "
The underlying meaning of this sentence was very clear. Whatever they did in the past, others would use the same methods to deal with them now.
This was how retribution worked in the world. It wasn't that they didn't want to take revenge, it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
Li Wubo's mouth was dry. For a moment, he couldn't say anything.
He wasn't the only one. All the members of the Li Clan present fell into silence. The entire place was silent. Many of them lowered their heads deeply.
Li Chunbo was furious. He slapped Li Wubo's face hard and growled, "What exactly will they do? Say it! Are you mute?! "
Li Wubo's cheeks puffed up high. His lips trembled a little before he said, "Kill all the men. Kill all the boys. Girls … Women … Those old, ugly, crippled ones, kill all of them too. Those who are slightly more attractive … will be … will be …"
Li Chunbo's face was pale. His body actually swayed a little. He hadn't been involved in worldly affairs for too many years. Although he knew that the Li Clan was probably in a very bad state, he didn't expect it to reach such a stage even in his dreams!
Li Chunbo had always governed the Li Clan with benevolence and filial piety. Friendship and righteousness were passed down from generation to generation. He had always had a clear conscience and felt that his heart was boundlessly open and just! However, once his grandson gained power, he didn't even spare the women and children on the opposing side who were completely defenseless.
The old man gritted his teeth hatefully and delivered another palm strike. With a loud smack, Li Wubo was sent flying several feet away. He crashed heavily onto a pillar and bounced back. Stepping on Li Wubo's chest with one foot, he asked fiercely, "Go on, how do you deal with those who are slightly more attractive? Tell me quickly! "
How could the old man not know this in his heart? But at this moment, he wanted Li Wubo to tell him personally.
"… Despicable! Bestow meritorious subjects as servants, or … sell them off! " Li Wubo spat out a mouthful of blood. With great difficulty, he said, "Elder Master, don't think that we are the only ones who have done this. In fact, all the big clans … are like this! This, this is the current Jianghu … Justice doesn't lie in the hearts of the people. It lies in strength … "
Li Chunbo lifted his leg in a daze. "This is the current Jianghu fashion?"
Whoever he looked at would nod silently and then turn their face away.
Being in the Jianghu, he had seen and done too many such things. Didn't everyone present have thousands or tens of thousands of lives? And how many innocent people were among these lives?
"Justice doesn't lie in the hearts of the people. It lies in strength. If we are defeated in the end … Our family members will also be treated the same way when they fall into the hands of the other party."
