The war involving the An Clan was imminent.
Li Tianming therefore stopped returning to the Taiyi Realm for grueling cultivation. Instead, he joined An Ning and the An Clan in making arrangements and communicating over the details of this life-and-death battle.
Zi Zhen was mainly in seclusion, making a final sprint, while Weisheng Moran had nothing much to do and silently stayed by Li Tianming's side.
Her quiet, reserved, tranquil, and delicate appearance made it impossible for anyone to imagine that she was Li Tianming's greatest pillar of support at this stage.
Since Mu Dongyuan was an An Clan daughter-in-law, and all her sisters had died at Li Tianming's hands, having the Right Tomb King lead the Mu Xue Line and other Illusory God experts in attacking the An Clan was clearly the most suitable arrangement for the Divine Tomb Cult!
As for the Xiao Clan, Xuanting's strongest Illusory God family, standing against the An Clan at this time and acting as the vanguard, that was purely a coincidence.
Reason piled atop coincidence, gathering more than ninety percent of all Illusory God experts in Xuanting!
While this battle's oppressive pressure and sense of threat were enough to suffocate one, the potential gains it offered also left Li Tianming exceptionally thrilled and tense.
He met Weisheng Moran's gaze, and even she grew tense beneath his stare. She took a deep breath, then smiled at Li Tianming, as though telling him, "We can do this!"
It was not that Li Tianming lacked mental fortitude. It was that the ones who would suffer in this battle were all An Ning's family and loved ones. He could not afford to lose!
During this period of intense preparations, Lin Xiaoxiao, far away at Flying Star Fort in the Supernova Relic, activated her communication stone.
