Tianlan

Story context

Welcome back, fellow Daoists, to the grim chessboard of the Moulan invasion! Chapter 748 pivots from Han Li's solo cat-and-mouse game inside the formation to the macro-level strategic dance outside. The Moulan side, led by the coldly analytical Honored Master Le, makes a calculated probe of Yellow Dragon Peak—sacrificing three hundred low-tier Dharma Warriors as bait to confirm the existence of the trap. What follows is a masterclass in Dark-Forest resource management: both sides are trying to bleed each other's assets dry to force the final confrontation under favorable terms. Han Li, meanwhile, is doing what he does best—looting corpses for intel and falling back to center position as the drumbeats of a true grand battle begin to sound. This chapter is short, tactical, and lays the filthy groundwork for the imminent formation-breaking war.

Why it matters

This is a "setting the board" chapter. For readers who crave the logistics war, it's a feast: watch how both sides calculate acceptable losses, prioritize intelligence, and assign counters to specific threats. Pay special attention to Honored Master Le's psychological weakness regarding the "Tianlan Saintess"—that's a crack Han Li might one day exploit, not with compassion, but with cold, tactical precision. Han Li's silent retreat to the center is the most ominous signal: he's not running; he's reloading. The drums of war are beating, and when the formation finally breaks, the real butchery will begin.
