Free Web NovelWithout a common enemy, the internal strife between the Heavenly Clans and the Earth City families would undoubtedly greatly deplete the Celestial Human City.
Providing them with a common enemy, making them wary of each other but not willing to act, was a good thing for Li Mo, and it was also why he decided to raise the banner of rebellion.
He didn't really care much about the position of Emperor.
His goal was to complete the trial as perfectly as possible.
"But if the Two Cities of Heaven and Earth target us together, we won't be able to withstand it."
"Er Niu bought us time. Let them know that Mortals can also be stronger than Heavenly Clans, and with Ice Cube overseeing things, they won't act rashly."
Li Mo smiled, and couldn't help ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) but recall Er Niu's letter.
Dong Ao still hesitated: "Then how should we enter and take control of Heaven City? Although the Mortals of Human City support us, getting them to rebel together, I'm afraid..."
"I know, they'll help whoever wins."
Li Mo nodded, then said: "So we must let them know that we have already won."
"Ah? What do we rely on?"
"Naturally, on me, your undercover agent."
"???"
"I've already drawn up a detailed rebellion plan. Take a look and see if there are any opinions or changes you want to make."
"..."
What kind of rebellion plan is this? Xiao Li, you didn't have this planned out already, did you?
He really did.
This was also a crucial part of Li Mo's achievement of Inner Scenery... On the very day the meeting concluded, Mo City sprang into action.
First, in Human City, all Executioners were dispersed into various villages and towns to recruit talented and Aptitude-filled youngsters to learn Mo City's martial arts.
The Mortals of Human City all considered it an honor to join the Executioners, so this was easy to manage.
However, getting the Mortals of Human City to unanimously oppose the Heavenly Clans and Earth City was unrealistic, and the natural disaster was coming. Even Mortals, if they had any sense, would not believe that Mo City could unify the Celestial Human City before the disaster arrived.
Therefore, Mo City's reason for recruiting people was not to rebel, but to prepare for the upcoming natural disaster.
The excellent among them might even be selected in the future to go to Heaven City to study and advance further.
But the information the Heavenly Clans received was quite the opposite.
Li Mo 'secretly' risked his life to leave Mo City and went to Heaven City. This person, who now held a high position in Mo City, could also swagger into Earth City and Heaven City.
When passing through Earth City, he first met with Old Li.
Old Li knew his plan. The sky had fallen, and after learning that he wasn't bluffing, he almost struck him from the family register.
Fortunately, Xiao Li was quick-witted and saved his household registration book.
He even snatched the pen.
He also said that if Old Li didn't listen to him finish his plan, he would strike Old Li from the family register.
Old Li had no choice but to cooperate, agreeing to invite the leaders of the various martial artist families to gather at the Li family at the time he specified.
"Then, Old Man, I'm off to Heaven City."
"Get out, get out, if you keep lingering around the house, I'll have a heart attack."
"Oh, oh, then I'm going..."
"Hey, where's the family register? Put it down! Get lost! If you don't leave now, don't leave at all, I'll arrest you and report you!"
The prodigal son returned home, and the old father's eyes were filled with tears, reluctant to part. The scene was very touching.
If one disregarded the belt in Old Li's hand and his constant lamentations of family misfortune.
"Alas, I didn't want to involve the family unless absolutely necessary."
"But when the nest is overturned, no eggs remain intact..."
Li Mo didn't feel anything was amiss. His father's projection seemed to have a similar temper to his father's true self.
The exasperated way he had chased him away just now was also an act.
Shaking his head, he went to Heaven City.
As the Heavenly Clan's trump card undercover agent in Mo City, Xiao Li entered Heaven City with unusual ease.
Even the Heavenly Clan guard with Innate white auspiciousness was very polite to him, personally leading the way.
"Brother, the atmosphere in Heaven City seems a bit strange these days?"
As he followed him, strolling through the cloud-shrouded, jade tree and cloud palace-filled Heaven City, Li Mo asked casually.
"Shh... Brother, you don't know."
The Heavenly Clan guard heard this, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:
"The Celestial Human Divine Sword has returned. Pojun, Leize, Yan Tu... many of those Heavenly Clan members with Innate purple auspiciousness want to take up the God Sword and become the new Emperor. Who knows when this matter will be settled..."
"So that's how it is."
Li Mo nodded.
He hadn't continued to ask, but instead, the Heaven City guard asked: freēwēbnovel.com
"I heard that Mo City has grown rapidly recently, and there are even Mortals who can wield the God Sword. Will they also want to lay claim to the God Sword?"
"I have intelligence to report back."
Seeing Li Mo nod but say no more, the guard knew this was not his place to ask.
So he cupped his hands, said his name was Heng Guang, and quickened his pace.
Before long, he arrived at the central palace of Heaven City.
The God Sword was plunged into the palace's doorpost, surrounded by blood and foul Qi.
Leize and the other Heavenly Clans were all here, maintaining a subtle distance from each other, but not a single one went to pull out the sword.
The God Sword was contaminated. Whoever touched it would likely be entangled in bloody karma, only to make a wedding dress for others.
So they didn't dare to pull it out themselves, and even less dared to relax and let others do so.
"You're back. How is the situation in Human City?"
Pojun was the first to ask.
"Thriving!"
Li Mo's spirit tensed slightly. He noticed an elderly man with silver hair, an aged appearance, and tightly closed eyes, holding a mirror in his palm, which reflected him.
This meant that although the other party hadn't opened his eyes to look at him, he was wary of him.
Perhaps... it was some kind of method to verify authenticity and sincerity of what was said?
Li Mo's heart tightened. It seemed the situation among the Heavenly Clans was indeed tense, and they were so distrustful of him.
"In what specific aspects?"
"Many Mortals have learned Mo City's martial Dao, and they are clamoring to enter Human City in large numbers to taste the power of the Heavenly Clans."
"?"
The Heavenly Clans looked at each other. Why did these words sound wrong?
They hadn't invited them, so how could the Mortals enter?
And why was Mo City expanding its recruitment of Executioners for no reason?
But these words were not false, because the Heavenly Clan elder holding the silver mirror did not give any warning.
Li Mo continued:
"Moreover, in many villages, paper slips like this one have been found inside the bellies of wild beasts such as carp, wild boars, and pheashes."
Saying this, he presented the paper slip.
Leize took it and read it aloud with a somber expression:
"The Azure Heaven is dead, Phoenix Heaven shall rise?"
"Great prosperity for humanity, King of Mo City?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"!!!"
The Heavenly Clans' expressions finally changed. Some were worried, some were bewildered, and some were disdainful, their expressions varied.
Feng Zhi scratched her head, about to speak, but Li Mo gave her a look.
Feng Zhi chose the latter between doubt and her brother-in-law, opting to keep silent.
Yan Rong stepped forward and asked:
"Where did this paper slip come from?"
"The people of Mo City deliberately placed them."
Xiao Li, the Mo City person who proposed the plan and personally carried it out, said with a serious face:
"The people of Mo City are probably harboring rebellious intentions, so this time I didn't send a message, but came in person to tell you about this, hoping that you sirs will take it seriously!"
"???"
The silver mirror still showed no reaction.
That's right.
As the initiator of the rebellion, Xiao Li had practically self-destructed in their faces; he was perfectly fine!
