On the wide, Greenwood City.

At this moment, along the outermost edge of the city wall, barbecue grills of all sizes were set up, the meat sizzling and dripping with oil, releasing an irresistible aroma—a scene reminiscent of being roasted amidst the 800-mile expanse of the city wall.

Li Mo, holding a skewer of grilled meat, squinted at the dark cloud that seemed to be pressing down on the city.

The vast, howling army, carrying an aura of Savage Wilderness and ferocity, swept over us, suffocating us.

To be honest, it was impossible for Young Hero Li not to be nervous, having never experienced anything like this before. However, all the soldiers were watching him; in their hearts, they were the ray of hope for victory...

He needs to stand up for himself!

"Come on, come on, eat and drink."

"Don't worry, everyone. Those who come to attack the city are just my defeated enemies!"

Li Mo picked up the skewer and took a bite.

The soldiers didn't understand what was going on, but Young Hero Li was already on the front lines with them, sharing life and death, why should they hesitate?

"Damn it, dead birds fly into the sky. Young Hero Li is here, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"Hahaha, even if we die on the battlefield, we can't go to report to the King of Hell hungry!"

So the soldiers, though feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy, all ate their barbecue without fear, following the pre-arranged plan.

Wu Lang squinted at the army besieging the city and took a big bite of his kebab.

"I wonder how much time Young Hero Li's plan can buy us."

Qu Sheng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air:

"Every second counts; if it's not an hour, even half an hour is good."

"Anyone who is thoughtful and deliberate, unless they are a hothead, will hesitate upon seeing this display of force."

If he were to attack a city and find the city gates wide open, completely undefended, he would be stunned for a while before summoning his generals to discuss and try to find out why the other side was doing so.

This is not a retreat tactic, but a delaying tactic.

He was prepared for the other side to see through his plan; the city gates could be closed at any time.

Greenwood City only appears undefended; it is not truly undefended.

"I will try my best to delay the effect of this plan."

At this moment, the brilliant strategist Young Hero Li slowly stood up.

The generals looked in the direction of the sound.

Qu Sheng asked, "How can we delay?"

Li Mo picked up another skewer of grilled meat, revealing a deep smile:

"Actually, I'm an actor."

"The winner of the first Golden Statue Award for Best Actor is none other than myself!"

"!"

Qu Sheng and his generals had no idea what kind of award this was; they had never even heard of it.

However, Young Hero Li was a low-key person, and even after making it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he never mentioned his nickname.

At this moment, however, the Golden Statue Award are being introduced with such solemnity.

Its high value is evident!

That sounds pretty cool.

At the same time.

Under the city.

What smells so good?

"Damn, barbecue? Don't they know we're coming to attack the city? And they're brazenly eating it!"

"Damn, what's this roasting? It smells so good!"

Is it possible that he's trying to make us drool?

"The city gates are wide open, let's just charge in and take Greenwood City right away!"

A buzz of discussion erupted like rolling thunder, and voices of surprise and uncertainty rose among the enemy troops.

Especially those Witch Spirit possessing human bodies and afflicted by the Calamity Beast around Han Zhen roared and howled, unable to resist rushing into Greenwood City to feast.

"Silence! I haven't given the order yet."

Han Zhen's deep voice drowned out the noise.

The Witch Spirit fell silent, suppressing their inner turmoil, and looked at him.

"Imperial Preceptor, this is a golden opportunity, why not let us charge forward?"

"Snort."

Han Zhen snorted coldly.

The Hundred Beast Hall Master pondered for a moment and said:

"Greenwood City isn't deaf or blind; they must have received military intelligence. Even if they hadn't, as the city deepest into the Southern Pass, they wouldn't be in this state."

"Greenwood Commander Qu Sheng, I have fought against him before. He is extremely strict in disciplining his troops and is a formidable opponent."

"He'll definitely fight to the death. With the city gates wide open, could it be... an ambush?"

Helian Wu also said, his eyes flashing.

What they said was exactly what Han Zhen was thinking.

An army of over 100,000, along with numerous Calamity Beasts, besieged the city. Once breached, not a single blade of grass would remain.

But when they arrived at Greenwood City after their long journey, they found it not fully prepared, and the defending soldiers were not trembling with fear...

So they ate it?

In this situation, can you still eat?

They're eating so heartily! It looks so delicious, it makes my mouth water!

Something's not right.

Nine out of ten points are wrong!

"So what should we do next?"

The wind, which had possessed the person, wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth and asked.

"I'll wait a bit..."

"Hey, you old geezer!"

Before he could finish speaking, a cheerful voice came from the city wall.

Han Zhen: "?"

Next, standing atop the city wall, is our first-ever Golden Statue Award Best Actor!

Li Mo held a skewer of grilled meat in his hand, looking down at the city with a nonchalant and even smiling expression.

"I spared your life last time, and you still dare to come here to die knowing I'm here."

"Do you dare to step forward and fight me for three hundred rounds?"

"..."

Han Zhen's eyelid twitched.

This was yet another unexpected event for him.

It is said that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Li Mo must know this. The army pressing on the city is precisely for this purpose.

But instead of hiding, Li Mo brazenly stood on the city wall?

And he was even pointing and gesturing while holding a skewer of grilled meat?

"Come here!"

"Today I'll make sure you suffer both the pain of a knife going in and the pain of a knife coming out; I'll stab your gallbladder!"

"If I let you go in with a white knife and come out with a yellow knife again, I'll stab your shit bag!"

"!"

Hiss...

The three soldiers gasped, the barbecue aroma seeming to fade slightly as they inhaled. Their curiosity grew even stronger; what kind of sauce was used to make it smell so good...?

The Witch Spirit, who were actually Calamity Beast, leaned back tactically.

The Great Shang Imperial Preceptor.

He was once Seventh Realm expert, Profound Mastery.

In its heyday, even the ruler of a country would treat him with respect, yet now that brat is pointing his finger at him and behaving arrogantly.

Even though Han Zhen was quite composed, his face remained ashen. Out of caution, he did not order an attack on the city, but he couldn't help but retort:

"You..."

I really don't want to hear you bark like a dog.

Li Mo turned his back to Li Mo with an air of nonchalance.

"??!"

After provoking him, that kid actually turned around!

After you've insulted someone, you don't even let them talk back?

Moreover, when the two armies were facing each other, he just casually turned his back on the more than 100,000 troops, treating them like a bunch of chickens and dogs, completely ignoring them!

Aren't they human?

Are they even human?

"Li Mo is actually facing away from us?"

The Hundred Beast Hall Master's eyes widened, completely bewildered by what was going on.

"Imperial Preceptor, he... he's insulting you, Imperial Preceptor!" Helian Wu exclaimed.

Han Zhen was so angry that his body was trembling slightly.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but this person happens to be his mortal enemy. It was because of Li Mo that he lost the Blood Phoenix Essence.

How can we tolerate this?

It really can.

The more this was the case, the more suspicious he became.

That day, Li Mo's attack didn't hit him; instead, it was a feint that shattered the secret realm. He knew then that this kid was definitely not a brainless idiot.

So Han Zhen suppressed his anger and gave the order, his voice booming:

"This brat is doing this on purpose, trying to provoke me into ordering an attack on the city, so I'll fall into his trap."

"There must be an ambush within this city."

"Conduct preliminary investigations to ascertain the facts!"

After speaking, Han Zhen looked to the side, where a middle-aged man covered in black raven feathers stood, his pupils blood red.

The middle-aged man with raven feathers nodded slightly, and each feather on his body transformed into a black raven, flapping its wings and flying hundreds and thousands of them toward the city.

It wasn't just him.

Several kinds of bird -Calamity Beast unleashed their bloodline abilities to scout out Greenwood City.

On the city wall.

Li Mo frowned.

The intensity of the investigation was greater than he had anticipated.

As expected, this world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, possessing mysterious powers, is incomparable to the one of my previous life...
