Indiscriminate means... Taoist Soldiers’ warfare?
The Barbarian Soldiers are planning to attack the camp?
But Mo Hua thought again and felt it wasn’t that simple.
This is the Taoist Court’s army; how could the Barbarian Soldiers easily raid the camp?
Moreover, Yang family’s Taoist Soldiers are in the "rear guard," even if engaged with Barbarian Soldiers, they’d be the last to charge.
Yang Jiyong is a Second Grade minor commander, seasoned in battle, he wouldn’t die so easily.
Unless... the threat came from behind?
Behind is...
Mo Hua’s pupils contracted, "The Great Wilderness Sect?!"
But this... seems unlikely too...
It’s not that the Great Wilderness Sect can’t rebel, but why would they rebel?
The Great Wilderness Sect indeed dominates a region, powerful, comparable to a Fifth-grade Sect, all true, but even so, they’re just a Sect, how dare they turn against the Taoist Court?
Sick of living?
Yet causality indeed foreshadowed as such.
In a flash, Mo Hua thought of the Big Tiger...
Why did Young Master Tuoba go to such lengths to tame the Big Tiger?
Because... he wants to use the Big Tiger as a ’mount’?
Mo Hua recalled what Elder Ji told him in Little Post City:
"The ’Tiger’ originates from one of the Divine Beasts of the Four Symbols, the White Tiger, a symbol of the Great Wilderness Royal Family."
"It’s said that every adult member of the Great Wilderness Royal Family, wishing to vie for power, must tame a powerful ’Tiger’ as a mount, to showcase their bloodline."
The Great Wilderness Royal Family, vying for power, taming a mighty tiger as a mount...
Mo Hua shook his head.
But this too seems wrong. That Young Master Tuoba is the son of the Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect.
The Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect is not of the Great Wilderness Royal Family...
Thinking this, Mo Hua paused.
The Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect is Young Master Tuoba’s father. As the Leader, reigning over the Great Wilderness, surely he can’t be of the Great Wilderness Royal Family, but...
What about Young Master Tuoba’s mother?
Mo Hua recalled that during the marching banquet, he saw the Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect in person, whose appearance was indeed of Jiuzhou cultivators.
But Young Master Tuoba, taller, more handsome, with a touch of wildness.
That’s no mistake; having grown up in the Great Wilderness, it’s normal to have some of its aura.
Mo Hua hadn’t thought much of it at first.
But what if... Young Master Tuoba’s birth mother was of the Great Wilderness Clan? Even of the Great Wilderness Royal Family?
Then Young Master Tuoba would also have the bloodline of the Great Wilderness Royal Family.
Thus, he tried so hard to tame the Big Tiger, using this King of Demons as his royal ’mount.’
If this is the case, then... the Great Wilderness Sect directly under the Taoist Court had long through bloodline crossbreeding become the Great Wilderness Royal Family’s ’Great Wilderness Sect.’
A chill surged from the heart.
Mo Hua couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
All these thoughts, while slow to express, spun rapidly in Mo Hua’s mind.
Yang Jiyong was still puzzled, wanting to ask Mo Hua what happened.
But Mo Hua grabbed Yang Jiyong’s arm, asking seriously, "Brother Yang, do you trust me?"
Yang Jiyong was slightly startled, then slowly nodded.
Mo Hua’s face was grave, lowering his voice, "The Great Wilderness Sect might also be rebelling..."
