They were terrified of making any noise that might attract Jiang Mo's attention and turn them into another ant that could be easily crushed by him.

Ignoring the way these guys came to an abrupt stop in such a sorry state.

Jiang Mo leaped lightly into the air, looking down at the battlefield from his high vantage point, his gaze falling on the Baiyue army that was still shouting battle cries.

Many of Li Kai's men are still fighting valiantly.

Jiang Mo had no intention of getting involved in the war between Korea and Baiyue, but among those covered in blood, he recognized a familiar figure.

Perhaps it wasn't a very deep friendship.

We also raised our glasses together, boasted together, and drank and celebrated together under the bright moon.

A subtle ripple stirred within his deep, dark eyes.

The bento box was just an experiment, a test to see what I could achieve after breaking through to the Innate Realm.

In his heart, Jiang Mo found an excuse for himself.

So, instead of turning away and riding the wind, he raised his arm high and waved his sleeves toward the battlefield where the fighting was in full swing.

True energy surged, and the wind and clouds changed color.

The gentle breeze emanating from Jiang Mo's sleeve was merely enough to turn the pages of a book, but the innate true energy infused within it constantly stirred the surrounding forces of heaven and earth, causing the breeze to rapidly expand and enlarge as it drew closer.

Several meters away, a howling wind suddenly appeared, whipping up sand and stones.

The army that was besieging Li Kai's remnants never expected that the originally calm weather would suddenly change so drastically. They had no time to react to the sweeping gale and were immediately thrown into chaos.

Some fell, some collapsed.

Like bowling pins overturned by a bowling ball, they were scattered all over the ground, and many horses were startled and ran away.

Another tragic stampede occurred.

Li Kai's remaining troops, however, were surrounded in the center and were few in number, so they were not greatly affected.

The enemy collapsed without a fight.

This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for the group who were surrounded and had already resigned themselves to death. However, because the event happened so suddenly, they were stunned on the spot.

A moment later, they came to their senses and hurriedly broke through the encirclement and fled.

Faced with these remaining troops who had little strength left to fight, they should have been prevented from escaping under any circumstances.

But at this moment, no one dared to intervene, and no one dared to shoot arrows to injure anyone.

Even though Jiang Mo's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, the entire battlefield remained strangely still for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Then, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

Like dominoes triggering a chain reaction, everyone sat down on the ground, panting heavily, looking at each other with relief at surviving the ordeal.

Facing a master of the Innate Realm was like facing a natural disaster.

Even the most brutal natural disaster cannot completely kill everyone. If everyone unites and fights back with all their might, even a natural disaster is not invincible. But when it comes to an individual, even a little bit of the residual power of a natural disaster is simply impossible to resist.

As for how to explain the situation after Li Kai was rescued...

Let's wait until they've caught their breath and calmed down before we think about it.

Jiang Mo, on the other hand, didn't care about such issues at all. Carrying Li Kai, he seemed completely unaffected by the extra weight, and with a few light leaps, he was far away from the battlefield.

We returned to the cliff top where the fledgling swallows were waiting.

Gently putting Li Kai down from his shoulder, Jiang Mo did not rashly remove the arrow from Li Kai's back. Instead, he took out the pills that Hu Yu'er had specially prepared before they set off and pried open Li Kai's mouth to pour them into his mouth as if they were free.

He then activated the "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon Technique," using his palm to transfer a wisp of innate true energy into Li Kai's body. This protected his life force from dissipating while also helping him absorb and digest the power of the elixir.

It took a long time for Li Kai's vital signs to stabilize slightly.

Jiang Mo's gaze shifted from Li Kai, his tense face relaxing slightly. He casually glanced around and chuckled softly.

"Now that we're here, why hide?"

His tone was light and carefree, showing no sign of nervousness. However, Chu Yan, who had been helping him out, was startled and nervously gripped the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

Is someone lying in ambush nearby?

How come I didn't sense any presence from him? Wait, that's...

As several familiar figures appeared before her, Chu Yan was slightly taken aback, her wariness turning into astonishment and confusion.

Chu Yan recognized all three people who appeared.

Yunhe on the left is dissolute and lusts more at the beauty of wealthy young ladies than at gold and silver. Yexiao on the right is gloomy and often takes on assassination jobs.

The swallow standing in the very center is an important source of intelligence for the Hundred Birds Organization.

The clues about Li Kai's whereabouts were provided by Tang Qianyan. Without his help, I really don't know if we would have been able to save him in time.

These three are all key members of the Hundred Birds.

Although Jiang Mo mobilized a large number of people from Bai Niao to search for Li Kai, the appearance of these three here is also understandable.

But it could hide quietly to the side...

Despite always regarding the birds as her home and the birds as her family, Chu Yan couldn't help but have some different thoughts and gripped the dagger in her hand tightly.

"Don't be so nervous, little fledgling."

Seemingly sensing a faint hostility, the woman in the hall stepped forward and spoke with a cheerful smile, clarifying in a seemingly harmless tone:

"Just now, seeing that Brother Mo was in a hurry to save people, we didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing him."

"That was indeed a bit abrupt. But with Brother Mo's abilities, he must have already discovered us, right? Perhaps he's blaming us for not paying our respects in time? That would certainly be our fault, and I apologize in advance!"

"No way, we're all brothers, why be so polite?"

Raising his hand to stop Tang Qianyan from bowing and apologizing, Jiang Mo smiled and replied, but a hint of ambiguity lingered in his eyes as he looked at the three people in front of him:

"However, it is indeed rare for the three of you to appear at the same time."

"Could it be that there's some big deal going on?"

"Hey, you can't hide anything from Brother Mo. It's all thanks to you that we accidentally discovered the Baiyue troops secretly escorting military supplies when we were searching for Lord Li's whereabouts."

As Tangqianyan spoke, she rubbed her fingers together excitedly:

"If we can manage to steal it, our family won't need to open for business for a year or two. Besides, wouldn't that be considered serving the country?"

"That's great! Lead the way."

Things progressed unexpectedly smoothly, but Jiang Mo's unwavering agreement surprised Tang Qianyan slightly, though he managed to suppress his unease.

Before leaving, Jiang Mo raised his hand and patted Chu Yan on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo, leave this to me. I'll take good care of Lord Li. You can focus on the other brothers..."

Before Jiang Mo could speak, Chu Yan responded enthusiastically.

He wasn't particularly excited or looking forward to the military pay, but seeing that Jiang Mo's relationship with the others from Bai Niao seemed to have improved and that they could act together, Chu Yan felt very gratified.

Naturally, it is essential to do a good job in logistical support.

"Heh, it's great that you have this intention. You're not a child anymore, so I won't say much. Just take good care of yourself."

These words sound like a final farewell.

Chu Yan was slightly taken aback, and before she could figure out the hidden meaning in Jiang Mo's words, he had already left with Bai Niao and the other two.

The fledgling swallow frowned and pondered for a long time, feeling more and more uneasy.

He wanted to catch up with Jiang Mo and ask him for clarification, but he couldn't leave the person beside him who needed care, and he didn't know which direction to chase after.

In his confusion and disarray, he was completely unaware of the dagger that was quietly approaching from behind.

The attacker was incredibly fast, darting behind the fledgling swallow and mercilessly stabbing the poisoned dagger into its back.

But even faster than this person was the suddenly spreading gale.

The innate true energy stirred the airflow and suddenly erupted in a narrow gap, causing the man to spit out blood and fly backward, as if a battering ram had suddenly crashed out.

The fledgling swallow turned its head in surprise and saw yet another rather familiar face.

Hundreds of birds...

Chapter 98 People with Different Paths Cannot Make Plans Together

Is it here?

Stepping into the rather narrow, cramped, and dimly lit cave, Jiang Mo paused slightly, his tone revealing an undisguised smile:

"The Baiyue people really hid their military supplies in a well-concealed place, huh?"

Tang Qianyan, who was leading the way, felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this. He sensed a hint of sarcasm in Jiang Mo's words and couldn't help but think to himself:

Has this guy already discovered something?

That can't be right. If he had noticed earlier, why would he have followed us here? With his skills, he could have found a suitable opportunity to escape along the way.

Have you become too arrogant from being away from home for too long?

I hope so...

Suppressing the turmoil in her mind, Tang Qianyan responded to Jiang Mo's words with a perfectly normal smile:

"The Baiyue people have different customs than us."

“Important places such as military pay and treasures must not only be hidden in secrecy, but also in dangerous places. They cannot feel at ease without some poisonous insects and wild beasts guarding them.”

Is that so?

Shrugging, Jiang Mo's indifferent gaze swept over his surroundings. Seeing the three of them positioned in a triangular formation around him, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought those methods were reserved for me."

With a slight twitch at the corner of her eye, Tang Qianyan's fingertips instinctively reached for the weapon hidden in her sleeve. Yunhe and Yexiao, who hadn't said much behind her, also tensed up to varying degrees.

However, before completely breaking off relations, Tangqianyan still tried to struggle one last time:

"Brother Mo, please don't joke like that! If it weren't for your efforts in supporting Bai Niao all these years, we would have broken up long ago."

"Those years..."

Repeating the words spoken by the other person, memories belonging to Mo Yuan flashed through Jiang Mo's mind, causing him to sigh inwardly:
