<h4>Chapter 1416 Northern Stars</h4>
The south was in chaos.The Zhuge n was prepared and waiting cautiously.
The two young masters, Zhuge Wen and Zhuge Hun both made careful arrangements, leading their group of men, on one side.
The Elder Master of the Zhuge n calcted Heavenly Secret in the n.
Three dayster, when he finally figured out something and passed the message to the n, the chaos had long been settled. Except for dozens of more grounds of ruins that were created, it seemed as though nothing had happened.
Peace in the territory of the Zhuge n was restored.
Nobody knew where that group of troublemakers had gone to.
Holding the secret words from the Elder Master’s calctions, the people of the Zhuge n felt uneasy — Of what use is it now?
“The killing stares from the south, the world is turned upside down; by one who is angry, human beings are wiped out. Heavenly Secrets is hard to predict, figures and shadows don’t remain, with a false rm, a star is gleaming in the north!”
This was the prediction of Zhuge Cangqiong, the Elder Master of the Zhuge n.
‘If we knew it had been a false rm, we wouldn’t be scared like this...’
‘But who could think of such a thing beforehand?’
‘However, thest sentence... “a star is gleaming in the north”...’
‘Does this mean that these people have headed toward the north?’
‘But the north is now engaged in a war. So, are the Nine Tribtions going to rescue Li Xiongtu?’
The Zhuge n immediately ryed the news.
...
In the northwest region.
Inside themander’s tent of the joint army.
Diwu Qingrou frowned slightly, sitting at the top position.
It had been a month since he arrived here, but now, Diwu Qingrou felt somewhat exhausted.
Though he was themander-in-chief of the joint army appointed by the Dharma Supreme, there weren’t many over here who truly respected his authority. Besides, since he was appointed by the Dharma Supreme, in the eyes of these proud and arrogant Supreme Mrtial Artists, he was all the more considered a tterer...
Diwu Qingrou realized a difference.
This was different from the Lower Three Heavens.
The Lower Three Heavens worshiped not only force but also wisdom! Therefore, a schr could be a chancellor, a royal teacher, and even a military counselor. So long as you could bring about victory, even if you were a disabled person, you could get the respect of millions...
But over here, force was all that matters!
Furthermore, it’s only individual force!
They worshiped only individual force.
This time that the joint army of Eight Great ns was here, almost every person in it was a Supreme Martial Artist. All of them were extremely proud.
With such superior military strength, what nning would you still need to deal with a mere Li n?
‘Regardless of your thousands of clever schemes, I’ll only punch my fist over!’
When Diwu Qingrou proposed taking down the enemy using wisdom, a team-leading Supreme Martial Artist of the Ye n said, “Wisdom? Hahaha... Wisdom is useful, nobody is denying that. But that’s under the condition that the two sides have equal strength! Commander-in-chief Diwu, forgive me for my disrespect, but may I ask you, a trap can kill a King-level Martial Artist, but can the same trap kill a Supreme Martial Artist?”
“A group of ants can bite a green worm to the death, but can a group of ants eat away a living, healthy dragon? Haha... So-called wisdom is nothing more than schemes and calctions, but did you think... under such a condition, with more than 1,000 Supreme Martial Artists on our side facing a single Li n, do we actually still need schemes and calction? Aren’t you regarding them too highly?”
After that, all the team-leading Supreme Martial Artists in the tent apuded andughed together!
Diwu Qingrou felt powerless inside.
There were more than 1,000 Supreme Martial Artists here, yes. The armies of the individual ns were very strong, yes. Thew-enforcement officers mobilized arge number of experts for revenge as well! There were three ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artists to begin with!
It was enough to deal with the Li n, that’s for sure.
But this was thebined force. If they were separated, the men from whichever individual n wouldn’t be the match of the Li n! Yet they just each looked like they themselves were the best in the world, with absolutely no possibility for sincere cooperation.
The Ye n and the Xiao n still had some grudges between them and looked like they were always ready to undermine each other’s ns.
The Xiao n and the Lan n also held grudges in which the Zhuge n was also involved. The Yè n had their grievances from the past. The Chen n felt even more indignant. The Shi n was waiting for an opportunity...
Thinking of all these rtionships, Diwu Qingrou felt a severe headache.
And the two guards that the Dharma Supreme had sent for him were only in charge of his safety but held no responsibility in managing the emotions of the Super ns.
Right now, in such a chaotic environment, even if Diwu Qingrou had godlike wisdom, he couldn’t do anything for the moment — Nobody would execute his orders!
Every time there were contact battles, which he wanted to have a meeting to make arrangements, attendance was never full...
What could Diwu Qingrou do with such a disorderly crowd?
Diwu Qingrou could only swallow his grievance for now and slowly consolidate their strength.
Besides, just figuring out the rtionship between each n took Diwu Qingrou two days and two nights... And then he finally realized — Among the Nine Super ns, almost every two were rtives in the other family, but every two also had hatred between them!
Diwu Qingrou could only assign them based on the degree of hatred.
For example, when the Ye n carries out missions in the west, even if the Xiao n had no mission, they would go to the east to stand guard so as to keep the two separated.
This was the first step.
Then, during the several battles with the Li n, although no one listened to themand, Diwu Qingrou still madeplete war ns and assigned missions to each of the leading fighters.
These people would not act per Diwu Qingrou’smand, but if they didn’t follow the orders, they would certainly suffer. Then after the loss, they would refer to the strategic n on hand and understand that Diwu Qingrou was right...
And then, they finally had a little respect and admiration for Diwu Qingrou — He actually needed to use such a method of learning from suffering to build respect?
Diwu Qingrou felt extremely ridiculous!
But it was necessary.
And this was the only way to make them listen to him.
Over a month, there had been seven or eight battles. The Ye n ran into an ambush and lost many men; the Xiao n had about a dozen eaten up and ran back embarrassingly; the Shi n was trapped once and almost all perished; the Chen n also almost had a whole bunch of people burnt alive...
And then, these ns finally became somewhat obedient to Diwu Qingrou.
In short, Diwu Qingrou spent the equivalent of one month for training, furthermore, he was training a group of bandits to make them into a proper army, with blood and death!
The price for each troop’s obedience was actually the lives of dozens of Supreme Martial Artists!
Such a training cost was absolutely the most expensive in the history of the Nine Heavens!
Diwu Qingrou gradually changed from one who was powerless at the start into a person with some authority, well, only some. This amount of authority was absolutely mismatched with his position as amander-in-chief!
But Diwu Qingrou didn’t show the slightest anxiety.
He knew that to achieve what he did then was already pretty impressive.
Every time Diwu Qingrou inspected his troops, he always sighed in his heart — Is such a group going to go against the Nine Tribtions, who are as tightly knit as a rope? So long as the powers of the Nine Tribtions grow to a certain extent, these Supreme Martial Artists are absolutely a herd of pigs waiting to be ughtered...
Fortunately, the situation had changed now. At least, when a meeting was called, the leaders, although some still not very punctual, came in full attendance.
That’s progress!
Right now, a meeting was ongoing in the main tent. They were discussing something that was equivalent to a bolt from the blue to the Nine Super ns.
Diwu Qingrou had been watching others discussing coldly. He felt that this would be his opportunity!
“What? The Lan n was destroyed?” Ye Xiaoyao, an eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist leading the Ye n troops widened his eyes. “Is the source reliable?”
“Rumor! This is definitely a rumor!” Mo Feng, an eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist leading the Lan n troops stood up and said with an emotional face and a loud voice, waving his arms!
“Even Elder Lan Buhui died? This can’t be...” Xiao Zhengyan, a team-leading expert of the Xiao n, said.
“This big move was done by the Nine Tribtions who came up? Bullshit, the Nine Tribtions Sword Master has only just obtained the sixth fragment of the Nine Tribtions Sword, right? How could the Nine Tribtions have such an ability right now?” Chen Jianlong, a team-leading expert of the Chen n felt skeptical.
“It’s absolutely true... All the super ns have received such news, how could it be fake?” The Shi n’s team-leading expert, Shi Qishu, twisted his beard.
“We,w-enforcement officers, have received the same news,” said thew enforcement leader Yu Zhenhai with a serious voice. “And it was issued with the signature of the Dharma Supreme!”
This gave the final confirmation.
Even the Dharma Supreme confirmed this news, so it was absolutely true.
Lan Mofeng from the Lan n stared straight, his face pale. Like a balloon that leaked air, he sat down, stunned.
Diwu Qingrou frowned slightly and gave Lan Mofeng a discreet look. If the Lan n was really annihted, then Lan n members over here were the unrooted final forces of the Lan n?
Inside the main tent, everyone was discussing and all faces looked scared and confused.
But such chaos was also useful. In the end, everyone had confirmed this piece of information, and all that was left were the defensiveness and suspicion toward the Nine Tribtions and the Nine Tribtions Sword Master.
“Latest news from the Zhuge n...” A voice reported from outside.
Zhuge Yinfeng, the leading expert of the Zhuge n, hurriedly shouted, “Come in!”
The curtain of the main tent was lifted and a man came inside.
Zhuge Yinfeng said, “Just read it out!”
That person said, “Yes!”
He took a piece of paper out of his arms and reported, “The Lan n was exterminated; the Nine Tribtions harassed the Zhuge npound for more than ten days, as though they were insane. The Zhuge n suffered great losses, many experts were killed. Right now, the Nine Tribtions have left for elsewhere. The Elder Master calcted the Heavenly Secret and got a prediction...”
At this point, that person was a little hesitant.
“Read!” Inside the tent, besides Diwu Qingrou who kept his mouth shut, everyone else yelled in unison.
“The killing stares from the south, the world is turned upside down; by one who is angry, human beings are wiped out. Heavenly Secrets is hard to predict, figures and shadows don’t remain, with a false rm, a star is gleaming in the north! The Elder Master sends a particr notice that the Nine Tribtions Sword Master and the Nine Tribtions have probablye all the way to the north...”
After he finished, the main tent waspletely silent!
A star in the north...
So that means the Nine Tribtions Sword Master and the Nine Tribtions will take part in this besiege war in the northwest?
Everyone’s eyes lit up at the same time!
In the host seat, a hint of an explicable smile revealed in the corner of Diwu Qingrou’s mouth.
