At this moment, within the Lie Mountain Tribe.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy inside the main meeting tent.
Because of the battle report that had been announced.
"How could we have lost so quickly?" Ma Shihuang, who hurried back from the north, exclaimed in shock.
Previously, Ma Shihuang had planned for the cultivator forces to engineer some minor defeats in this war to prevent Gonggong from winning too quickly.
To undermine Gonggong's prestige within the tribe and elevate the cultivator forces' standing in the Lie Mountain Tribe.
At the same time giving Gonggong the chance to be injured, so that Medicine Ancestor could have the opportunity to heal Gonggong, allowing the poison to enter his body.
This would facilitate controlling Gonggong afterward, but unexpectedly, Jiu Li did not follow Ma Shihuang's script.
Ma Shihuang truly thought that if Jiu Li approached the heart of Lie Mountain, they would be unable to capture it for a long time, giving him room to maneuver.
