Young Master Tuoba’s gaze deepened a bit, he smiled, and then asked, "I wonder when this Brother Mo came to Great Desert City?"
"He..." Yang Jishan paused here for a moment, thought a bit, and then smiled, "Just arrived recently, he came to Great Desert City at my invitation."
Young Master Tuoba nodded, looked deeply at Mo Hua again, and praised:
"No wonder Leader Yang has his eyes on this young man, truly impressive in demeanor and uncommon in temperament."
Mo Hua bowed and said, "Young Master Tuoba overpraises me."
Young Master Tuoba nodded, raised his glass, and said with a nonchalant expression, "Young Master Mo, would you like to have a drink together?"
Mo Hua’s eyes flickered slightly and nodded, "It would be an honor."
The two drank a glass of wine.
Young Master Tuoba said nothing more, changed to a calm and considerate smile, and continued to toast with other commanders.
Mo Hua savored the taste of the wine in his mouth, but had some doubts in his heart:
"Did this Mop Young Master recognize me?"
"Or is it that he is confused himself, not knowing who I really am?"
Whether recognized or not, it didn’t matter to Mo Hua.
Just a Foundation Establishment Peak noble young master.
In terms of personal talent and strength, this Young Master Tuoba is far inferior to Shen Linsu and those four exceptional geniuses of Qianxue’s top bloodline.
Even compared to the first line of the Four Great Sects, people like Shen Cangfeng, Ao Zheng, and Xiao Ruohan, he is far behind.
Mo Hua didn’t act against him, entirely for the sake of the Great Wilderness Sect.
If not for the fact that Young Master Tuoba had the Great Wilderness Sect as his backing, and him being the son of the Sect Leader, Mo Hua could play tricks on him in a hundred ways.
"The Great Wilderness Sect..."
Mo Hua looked up at the high platform, his gaze slightly deepened.
The Sect Leader and Chief Elder of the Great Wilderness Sect are all in Feather Transformation.
This, in the Qianxue state boundary, is the configuration of a Fifth-grade Major Sect.
This means that, limited by the state boundary restrictions, in the absence of Heaven Void taking action, the hard power of the Great Wilderness Sect has actually reached the level of a Fifth grade.
It’s just that the Great Wilderness Sect itself is located in the Great Wilderness, quite remote, and its sect position is also quite sensitive, easily offending the Taoist Court, so it has never been publicly announced.
Mo Hua’s gaze shifted slightly, looking at the Great Wilderness Sect’s Chief Elder nearby; suddenly, his heart trembled slightly, giving rise to a strange sense of familiarity.
This Chief Elder of the Great Wilderness Sect, a low-key person, silent and sparing with words, hasn’t said many words from beginning to end.
But Mo Hua always felt that the aura of this Chief Elder was a tiny bit familiar.
Yet Mo Hua was sure it was his first time seeing this Chief Elder of the Great Wilderness Sect.
This Chief Elder was a completely unfamiliar person.
"But why... do I feel a slight familiarity?"
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
Just at this moment, the Chief Elder of the Great Wilderness Sect on the high platform seemed to sense the gaze, turning to look in Mo Hua’s direction.
Mo Hua was startled, immediately burying his head, gnawing on a pig’s trotter, pretending to be completely absorbed.
The Chief Elder of the Great Wilderness Sect, casting his eyes around for a moment, not noticing anything unusual, silently withdrew his gaze and returned to his deep and silent demeanor.
Mo Hua, gnawing at the pig’s trotter, secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
...
After the marching banquet ended, Mo Hua returned to the barracks, continuing to organize his belongings, familiarizing himself with the Taoist soldiers’ marching regulations and tactics.
The planning of the rebellion suppression was also gradually being implemented.
Five days later, everything was ready.
The Taoist Court’s army officially launched the war for suppressing the Great Wilderness rebellion.
The main force of the Taoist Court’s soldiers officially set off, leaving Great Desert City, marching towards the depths of the Great Wilderness.
This journey would annihilate all resisting forces along the way, attacking the Great Wilderness Royal Court, executing the rebellious princes and lords, to stabilize the Southern Wilderness and restore the prestige of the Taoist Court.
At this time, Mo Hua was also an ordinary Taoist soldier in this rebellion suppression war.
He wore the light robe of a Taoist soldier and left Great Desert City together with the Yang Family’s Taoist soldiers to head towards the Great Wilderness.
A day’s march covered approximately three hundred miles.
Because the Taoist soldiers had just started moving, they started slowly, and each team needed to coordinate, so the first day’s march wasn’t fast.
Moreover, because the Taoist soldiers of Yang Jishan’s camp had previously engaged in battle with barbarian soldiers, many were still wounded.
Hence during this march, they were at the rear.
At nightfall, they temporarily set up camp.
Mo Hua estimated the distance and time, feeling it was about right, then found Yang Jiyong and said, "Brother Yang, something’s wrong, I forgot something."
