Hou Wuji's expression immediately shifted, and he turned his head to whisper, "Brother, have you forgotten the news we heard along the way? The war on the Xuzhou Jiangdong Road has reached a fever pitch. Wuwei King's army has pressed forward completely, do you think it's possible that...?"
"You mean, Uncle is planning to take action against Leiyin Temple?"
Hou Wuqie was quick to respond, immediately realizing Hou Wuji's thoughts. Recalling the events of the past two days, he nodded, recognizing that Hou Wuji's words were likely correct.
"Eight or nine times out of ten, as we've heard from Uncle Five before, my father has long wanted to take action against Leiyin Temple, but due to strength and the silence of Wuwei King in the east, he's held back. When we set out, the Red Flame Army from the Five Elements Heaven was already starting to dispatch in batches. I guessed at the time that it was likely for an operation, which is why I wanted to come to Jiujun County."
