When Xiao Mo received the news, he immediately headed to Peacehaven City in the rear.
As the command center of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, all kinds of intelligence would be sent to Peacehaven City. The cultivators in the rear would deduce the most favorable strategies from the massive amounts of intelligence, then send them to various places in the Ten Thousand Laws Realm via message flying swords.
So when Xiao Mo arrived at Peacehaven City, he could see tens of thousands of message flying swords forming several enormous sword rivers, flying into Peacehaven City and then flying out from Peacehaven City, creating an extremely spectacular scene.
Xiao Mo walked straight to the entrance of the City Lord's Manor in Peacehaven City.
When Xiao Mo appeared, the several sword cultivators guarding the gate instantly heightened their vigilance.
Because they couldn't see through Xiao Mo's cultivation level at all.
If they, as Nascent Soul realm cultivators, couldn't see through it, that meant this man was in the Upper Three Realms!
Previously, a human cultivator at the Jade Simplicity realm had come to the City Lord's Manor and assassinated cultivators within, causing a tragedy.
So once they saw an unfamiliar Upper Three Realms cultivator, whether human or demon, they would first treat them with the highest level of vigilance.
"Gentlemen, please announce that Xiao Mo from the Confucian Academy requests to see Miss Shang Jiuli to reminisce about old times," Xiao Mo stepped forward and politely bowed with cupped hands.Several people looked at the "Accompanying Saint" token hanging at his waist, and their expressions relaxed considerably, "Please wait a moment, sir, we'll go in and announce you right away."
At the same time, in a plaza within the City Lord's Manor.
Message flying swords flew down one by one, taken by cultivators. Over a thousand cultivators categorized the intelligence according to location, personnel, time and other factors, then hurriedly sent them into the main hall of the City Lord's Manor at the front of the plaza.
In the main hall, there were a total of two hundred cultivators.
Most of these cultivators were between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms, all sharing one characteristic: "powerful divine consciousness, insufficient combat strength."
They would formulate corresponding strategies based on the intelligence sent to them, delivering them to the frontlines at the first opportunity.
If the matter was of great importance, they would need to organize and report it again, submitting it to higher decision-makers for judgment.
It was precisely because of the existence of this "brain" that the ten million cultivators of the human alliance, with their various sects, could coordinate with each other without falling into chaos.
At a position on the left side of the main hall, a woman was truly too exhausted. She rubbed her eyes, drank a cup of tea, patted her cheeks to wake herself up a bit, then continued throwing herself into the mountain of accumulated intelligence.
A sword cultivator entered the main hall, immediately found the woman, and hurried forward, bowing with his sword, "Master Shang, a Confucian Sage is looking for you to reminisce about old times."
"A Confucian Sage? And looking for me to reminisce? Shang Jiuli was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "This young lady has no time."
"Yes, this subordinate will go convey that right away."
"Wait." Just as the sword cultivator turned to leave, Shang Jiuli asked, "What's the name of that Academy sage?"
"He said his name is Xiao Mo," the sword cultivator answered truthfully.
Upon hearing the words "Xiao Mo," Shang Jiuli's eyes instantly lit up. She said to her fellow disciple beside her, "Wenwen, there's an old friend I need to see. I'll go and come right back."
"Eh? Jiuli, I can't handle all this work..."
Before Xu Wenwen could finish her words, she saw Jiuli pull out a piece of intelligence and put it in her sleeve's storage space, then run out of the main hall.
Shang Jiuli ran out of the City Lord's Manor and immediately spotted Xiao Mo with her first glance.
"Senior Brother," Xiao Mo bowed with cupped hands.
"I didn't expect you to come so quickly," Shang Jiuli's expression carried some urgency, "I was just thinking about sending you an urgent letter."
"Is it about Little Green?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Let's go first. I'll take you to a wine stall, it's not good to talk here," Shang Jiuli didn't waste words with Xiao Mo. She walked straight forward and, disregarding the difference between men and women, grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and led him forward.
Soon after, the two sat down on wooden stools at a wine stall. The owner cut half a catty of beef and brought two pots of osmanthus wine.
"Here," Shang Jiuli took out a stack of intelligence reports from her fragrant sleeve and handed them to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo took them and carefully looked through them.
After Shang Jiuli set up a small formation to isolate sound and divine consciousness, she spoke, "Just four months ago, that Miss Little Green from the North Sea, leading five dragons from the North Sea along with three hundred thousand demon army troops, appeared in the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.
During this time, Little Green captured two human cities.
However, after capturing them, Little Green strictly forbade her subordinate demons from harassing ordinary people, with immediate execution for violators!
Little Green even actively opened granaries to distribute grain, providing relief to common people suffering from the ravages of war.
Little Green left quite a good reputation in the hearts of many humans.
Moreover, the North Sea's offensive momentum wasn't fierce either.
So the human alliance felt that for now, there was no need to allocate too many forces to deal with Little Green. They just needed to delay Little Green's advance, deal with other urgent battle lines first.
But just recently, Little Green led her army and completely destroyed the Red Lotus Sect.
This was immediately followed by the Yellow Sand Sect and Water Forest Sect."
Xiao Mo frowned and drank a cup of wine, "If I remember correctly, these sects all seem to have grudges with the North Sea."
"Yes," Shang Jiuli nodded, "Among the twelve sects that originally besieged the North Sea, of the remaining sects today, only the Red Lotus, Yellow Sand, Water Forest, and Black Mountain sects are left. Little Green is settling accounts for what happened back then."
Shang Jiuli poured Xiao Mo a bowl of wine:
"Actually, our human alliance never had a very good impression of these sects to begin with. These sects were sneaky and underhanded, even thinking of preserving their strength during the great war so they could gain more influence after the war ended, and even took advantage of the war to annex other sects.
Not only that, several sects even colluded with the demon world.
The Divine Fist Sect that you destroyed back then was one of them.
But regardless, no matter how much we dislike these sects, we can't just stand by and watch.
So the human high command has already ordered a campaign against Little Green."
"I understand," Xiao Mo nodded, "Do you have Little Green's location? I'll go find her now."
Shang Jiuli sighed, "Xiao Mo, I don't know if you can make it in time. Just one incense stick's time before you came looking for me, I received news that Little Green has already begun fighting with the Black Mountain Sect.
And Peacehaven City is located in the far rear of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, very far from the Black Mountain Sect. Even if you're at the Ascension realm, it would take quite a while to rush there.
Moreover, there's one thing I've always felt wasn't quite right."
"How so?" Xiao Mo asked.
"On Little Green's side, the highest cultivation level person is Little Green herself, who is only at the late Jade Simplicity realm. Any Immortal realm powerhouse, leading one hundred thousand human cultivators, could suppress Little Green along with the Black Mountain Sect.
But the result is, what I heard is that the Heavenly Mist Sect's ancestor will personally go to kill Little Green."
Shang Jiuli looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes.
"I have an intuition, I feel like someone is using Little Green as bait, the purpose is to lure Miss Bai out."
