Old Master An also took a sip of tea before he began to speak:
“Back then, when my An Family was competing with the Qian Family for profits, it wasn’t as if we were at a disadvantage from the start.”
“At first, both families had their victories and defeats, but the Qian Family was greedy, and their disciples were mostly selfish and greedy, while our An Family was harmonious, unified in spirit, and not as exploitative as the Qian Family. In our struggle against them, we gradually gained the upper hand.”
“At that time, within Tongxian City, our An Family controlled most of the Artifact Refining and Alchemy businesses—so much so that the Qian Family was on the brink of defeat…”
“Was there some kind of mishap?” Mo Hua asked.
Old Master An nodded and sighed deeply before continuing:
“Indeed, a major mishap occurred—the An Family took on a certain business deal…”
“It was the largest deal the An Family had ever encountered. If we could secure this transaction, the Qian Family wouldn’t be able to compete with us for at least a hundred years.”
“We had everything prepared; all that was left was to safely transport the goods out of Tongxian City and deliver them to Runan City nearby. With that, the deal would have been successfully completed.”
“Therefore, I specifically arranged for the only Foundation Building Elder in the An Family to lead the formation, with fifty of our elite disciples as escorts, accompanied by two hundred An Family cultivators.”
“The strength of these cultivators was not to be underestimated, even by the Qian Family. And the Qian Family wouldn’t dare to engage us directly; the loss of life would lead to too great a loss, no matter how you look at it.”
“I thought I had been cautious enough and the preparations were adequately safe, but I never, never could have anticipated…”
Old Master An’s face showed a look of regret and agony.
“…I never could have anticipated that after they entered Big Black Mountain, they would never return!”
“Not a single one of them returned!”
“They all disappeared in Big Black Mountain!”
Old Master An’s face twitched, his emotions fluctuating violently.
Mo Hua quickly poured him a cup of tea. After drinking it and catching his breath, Old Master An nodded slightly and continued:
“This was not just a crippling blow, but it also struck at the very root of the An Family—like cutting a chunk of flesh from my heart!”
“Afterward, I went into Big Black Mountain myself, but no matter how I
“From this, it’s clear that there is indeed a Camp Leader in the Black Mountain Stronghold, and he is not the same person as the Householder!”
After sharing Old Master An’s words, Mo Hua asked Leader Yang, “Are these evidences sufficient?”
Yang Jiyong pondered, “They aren’t fully conclusive, but they are enough. When it comes to Evil Cultivators, it’s better to wrongly kill than to let one escape; delaying any longer and letting the Qian Family become aware would mean missing our chance.”
Elder Yu nodded in agreement. “Whether the Camp Leader of Black Mountain Stronghold is the Patriarch of the Qian Family, we will know as soon as we make a move.”
“If it is him, we will execute him on the spot!”
“If not, I will apologize to the Qian Family. Anyway, I have thick skin. I have not spared them from my harsh words on regular days, so apologizing now won’t be a loss.”
Yang Jiyong nodded, “Alright then, let’s finalize the plan to move against the Qian Family and eliminate the Patriarch of the Qian Family!”
The whole following day, everyone discussed strategies together.
By evening, Old Master An, dressed in black, also came quietly.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Old Master An disclosed some secrets of the Qian Family that were not known to the public—about the Qian Family’s terrain, as well as the cultivation techniques, Taoist skills, and the preferred fighting methods of the Patriarch of the Qian Family.
Mo Hua listened attentively from the side.
He did not understand Foundation Building Cultivators, was not familiar with the manipulation of spiritual energy above Foundation Establishment, and had no idea how to kill a Foundation Building Cultivator.
His own skills could not harm those at the Foundation Building level.
The only thing that might be lethal to a Foundation Building individual was causing a Compound Formation to collapse through Divine Sense Calculation.
However, the calculations for such a Compound Formation took time, and Mo Hua, busy with investigating the Patriarch of the Qian Family, had not yet finished the calculations, nor had he actually used them, so it was of no use for the time being.
Now, all Mo Hua could do was to listen and learn:
How to design an execution of a powerful enemy cultivator.
How to estimate the enemy’s strength, including their cultivation, cultivation techniques, Taoist skills, spiritual artifacts, and so on.
What strength his own side needed to successfully execute the plan.
How to arrange manpower, how to deploy them, how to exploit the enemy’s weakness and attack their shortcomings, and how to minimize casualties to the greatest extent.
Whether it was Yang Jiyong, the leader of the Taoist soldiers, or Zhang Lan with his profound family learning, or the experienced Elder Yu, as well as battle-hardened Mo Shan, they were all fairly adept at this kind of thing, each with their own strengths.
In discussing the plan, each expressed their opinions, playing to their strengths and compensating for each other’s weaknesses.
Mo Hua watched and listened silently, memorizing everything, pondering and adapting it for his own use.
He might not need it now, but one day in the future, it might come in handy.
Two days and one night later, everything was settled.
The plan to eliminate the Patriarch of the Qian Family officially began.
