The members of the Lone Traveler Alliance finally deduced the truth together. After layer by layer analysis, everyone felt that this was indeed the case.
Instantly, they became indignant.
"We just seized a few territories, was it necessary for them to do this?"
"Territories are not even worth a word to him, what is a mere path to him?"
"He's truly too petty!"
"You can't trust Qian Mo!"
However, they not only did not gain recognition but were instead cursed by many.
"Petty, if you had resources, why didn't you give them to me?"
"Talking about others being petty, look at your own character first."
"Exactly, exactly, if you hadn't provoked the great Qian Mo and tried to steal his spoils of war, would they have wiped out your base camp?"
"Damn it, you made me terrified. So it was because of the Lone Traveler Alliance's actions that everyone was in such panic, fearing they would disappear due to some mysterious force."
"The result is that your group of scoundrels caused this commotion, leading the great Qian Mo to use this terrifying power!"
"That's right, speaking of which, we haven't settled the score with the Lone Traveler Alliance yet."
"Wuwuwu, pity my position, damn it."
"I truly don't know what to say about the Lone Traveler Alliance, you are truly a bunch of scumbags."
"Not only moral blackmail but also extremely disgusting."
"But you do have one advantage, and that is your immense courage. It's hilarious, you actually dared to oppose such a powerful figure like Qian Mo."
"Have you ever considered whether all the lords of territorial forces worldwide combined could contend with the great Qian Mo?"
"Is the great Qian Mo not someone to associate with? Heh, haven't those who follow him soared? I seem to have seen Jin Xuan's troops receive a massive promotion."
"What do you mean by the great Qian Mo being petty? If he had let you go, he would have been a saint, wouldn't he? I believe you certainly wouldn't have thanked his mercy then, but would have mocked his weakness and escalated your actions next time."
These territorial lords who had risen not only couldn't stand it but were also extremely disgusted by the lone travelers.
To be honest, in their eyes, the lone travelers were irredeemable scumbags.
After all, the lone travelers were just trash who had lost their territories. Without territories, they were inherently inferior to the territorial lords.
Moreover, these territorial lords had various frictions with these lone travelers who had lost their territories.
As territorial lords, fighting was a common occurrence. When they attacked other territories, they were usually in distant lands. Sometimes, they would happily go to receive the spoils and civilians, only to find that the place had already been ransacked by the lone travelers, which was infuriating.
Many lords had encountered such situations, and thus they intensely disliked and hated the lone travelers, finding them utterly disgusting.
This was tantamount to openly robbing them of their possessions, greatly hindering their development speed.
...
For the territorial lords and lone travelers, the truth had finally been deduced after layer-by-layer analysis. This was very good news.
At least it was much better than enduring that unknown panic. Because the unknown is a mysterious fear, you constantly worry whether you have violated something and will suffer that death penalty. But known fear is much better, for example, not offending Xiao Mo will prevent you from encountering such danger.
For most people, they could finally sleep soundly and, after death, use this matter as a topic for after-dinner discussion.
But for some, the fear lingered, sending chills down their spines. This group consisted of the high-ranking officials of various alliances.
They were inwardly alarmed. If they were also dealt with by such means, could they survive? Could they resist?
After contemplation, they concluded that they absolutely could not resist. This was because the high-ranking officials of the Lone Traveler Alliance had strength comparable to theirs.
However, the high-ranking officials of comparable strength, like their leader, had already disappeared, perhaps dead, due to this mysterious force. If they, whose strength had not reached divinity, were also targeted in this way, then there was no doubt they would be unable to resist.
Under this psychological pressure, their fear of Qian Mo grew.
"Damn it, what kind of power is this? Seriously, I can't even sleep soundly now."
"Too terrifying. I hope he pays a price for using this power, otherwise, if he can use it indefinitely, it would truly be too god-like."
"Oh, damn it, I choose to remain silent..."
"I wish I had this power too, alas, the envy has been said to death."
"Who doesn't envy it? If I had such power, it would be incredibly satisfying to wreak havoc a thousand miles away."
"You've made me scared again. Although our Immortal Alliance is far away, he can still kill us at will, damn it."
"Is there any way to live? It's better to sleep peacefully than to have sleepless nights because of him."
"I think you're the one who can't sleep peacefully. Are you thinking of challenging the Immortal Demon Kingdom again?"
"Nonsense, at this point, who would dare to oppose the Immortal Demon Kingdom? I'm just scared."
"I seriously suspect he's cheating. I'm going to report him to the authorities!"
"Heh, do you think you're the only one who thought of this? I've actually been reporting him every day. Guess what? It had no effect at all."
"Damn it, you're truly something, reporting Qian Mo daily. Aren't you afraid of being found out and dealt with?"
"Nonsense, he doesn't know I'm reporting him. Only recently did he find out. And I strongly suspect you've also secretly reported him but just didn't say it."
"...I-I am truly impressed. Do you have mind-reading abilities?"
"I strongly suspect the authorities custom-made a cheat for him."
"If that's the case, then it's understandable. The Immortal Demon Kingdom being so monstrous now is likely a result of the authorities' direct involvement."
"Alright, you few, stop talking nonsense. The authorities have always been quite fair. It's just that Xiao Mo's Immortal Demon troops are too monstrous."
"Heh, besides envying the troops, don't overlook Xiao Mo's own powerful intellect. His methods are so powerful they make me tremble." Da Feng Novel Network
"His strategy in deploying troops is simply too powerful. And in terms of diplomacy, he has secretly established contact with local forces. His political vision far surpasses others. Don't think we lost solely due to our troops."
"In fact, if we all had the same type of troops, we would likely be far inferior to him."
"Hiss, I'm sucking all the coolness out of my territory. The more you say it, the more it seems true. Xiao Mo himself is also a heaven-defying talent."
