200: Reunited with Nangong Xue'er
"Patriarch, the soul lamp of Young Lord Lu Wu has extinguished! It is our fault that the Young Lord was harmed by a villain in this Plane. We ask for the Patriarch's punishment!"
The person who spoke was actually a powerful expert at the Imperial Rank Third Heaven. Due to fear, his body trembled incessantly, and his words were filled with repentance.
After a long while, an ancient voice emanated from within the statue, majestic and supreme.
"Grand Elder, there is no need for this. My son provoked someone he shouldn't have. Even my consciousness was killed in a single strike; the opponent is at least at the God Rank. His death was not unjust. Even my true form was struck by a sword from across endless space-time."
Within these words, there was thick hatred, anger, lingering fear, and a trace of relief.
"A God!" The people kneeling on the ground were all terrified.
"Indeed! A God Realm expert actually appeared in this tiny Plane." Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor also sighed softly.
"Patriarch, does that mean we will not avenge Young Lord Lu Wu? Even if the opponent has a God behind them, surely they cannot guard that brat's side every moment? Young Lord Lu Wu was the child who inherited your Bloodline the deepest."
"Why don't we descend with our true forms to the place where Young Lord Lu Wu fell and wipe it out directly?"
"Indeed, Patriarch. Our Lu Family has passed down for tens of thousands of years; our dignity cannot be violated. If we act personally to kill that brat, so what if they are God Realm? As long as we don't leave the Plane, could the opponent possibly pay a huge price to descend just for a dead person?"
The person who spoke was the Third Elder of the Lu Family, a powerful expert at the Imperial Rank Second Realm. From the ruthlessness in his words, one could see what kind of ambitious villain he was.
"No!" Compared to these radical old fellows, Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor was much calmer. Only it understood the terror of the opponent.
"Do not speak of revenge again. Do not underestimate that Xuanling Continent; it is not simple. Furthermore, those Empires are not as simple as they appear on the surface. If they truly Face the threat of national destruction, who knows what old monsters might pop out."
"As far as I know, the Imperial Ancestor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire has achieved the God Realm and founded a power in a higher Plane, which is why he hasn't paid much attention to the Lower Realm. Who knows if he might jump out? It is better not to take the risk."
"However, that brat Ji Mo is not untouchable. There is an Opportunity right now. That fellow An Lan's Sword Tomb is about to appear. Ji Mo will definitely go there. There, Karma can be shielded. This child has a great secret; capture him and interrogate him."
"Also, ten thousand years ago, I once fought against An Lan. At his Peak, I was no match for him. There must be countless treasures there. Acquiring them for the Family will also strengthen the Family."
"Lu Hong, Lu Ming, leave this matter to the two of you. You are both at the Saint Rank Sixth Heaven. This time, upon entering the ruins, not only must you capture Ji Mo, but you must also seek Opportunities to achieve a Breakthrough to the Imperial Rank."
These two were also the sons of Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor. Their Aptitude was Heaven-Defying, and they were only one step away from the Imperial Rank. Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor placed high hopes on them.
"Grand Elder, arrange some manpower to assist them. This time, we must succeed. Do not use Imperial Rank experts to bully the weak; I fear the opponent's backers might also make a move."
"Yes, Father. We will definitely complete the mission and capture the murderer who killed our younger brother alive." The two agreed decisively, full of confidence.
Ji Mo did not know that even before he had entered the ruins, someone was already plotting against him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be afraid. Below the Imperial Rank, he was fearless.
One day later, Ji Mo had no choice but to crawl out of the bed of gentleness, because there were still many things that needed to be done.
The priority before him was to cleanse his woman's body and pave the way for her.
The power of that Imperial Rank essence blood was too tyrannical; even an average Saint Rank expert would explode if they consumed it. Ji Mo had to use other methods, but he already had a plan in mind.
He once again condensed the heaven and earth creation bell, placed it upside down on the ground, filled it with spiritual liquid, and took out a drop of essence blood to toss inside. The spiritual liquid immediately began to boil.
"Your consciousness has already been refined, yet you still want to act up? Be suppressed for me!" He circulated his Cultivation Technique, and the heaven and earth creation bell directly suppressed it.
The essence blood slowly merged into the spiritual liquid, which gradually turned blood-red, and a thick Dao aura permeated outwards.
"Xue'er, come in. Bathe in the Imperial blood and cleanse your Saint physique."
Nangong Xue'er was not shy; her jade-white body soaked naked in this "large bathtub."
Under the suppression of the heaven and earth creation bell, everything went smoothly. Various Dao aura runes slowly permeated into Nangong Xue'er's body.
After a day and a night, Nangong Xue'er finally absorbed the last drop of essence. She had been reborn, and her Realm naturally broke through to the Condensing Gang Realm. Most importantly, her Aptitude had improved. Now, Nangong Xue'er's Aptitude was no worse than the descendants of the Di Xue Family.
As long as there were enough resources, she could rush all the way to the Peak Saint Rank without any difficulties.
Did Ji Mo lack resources? Of course not. With so many couriers to take from, he just had to go get them. It was just that Ji Mo's attention was not on those places at all.
Ji Mo, who hadn't fully released himself yet, looked at the jade body floating in the air, which carried the aura of the Saint Rank amidst its charm. This made Ji Mo's appetite surge.
After another round of dragon and phoenix singing in harmony, half a day later, a refreshed Ji Mo walked out of the small courtyard.
He had to come out; if he didn't, he wouldn't make it in time for the appearance of the ruins.
It was only because time was too tight; otherwise, upon returning this time, Ji Mo had intended to go find his fiancée, Shangguan Yanran.
It had been three years since their original agreement; it was time to marry her and fulfill his promise. But now time was too tight; he couldn't just finish spending half a day with Xue'er and immediately go find another woman. That would be too scummy!
There was no other way; he would have to wait until this ruins exploration was over to go find her. If she was still unmarried, he would certainly fulfill his promise to her.
Casting aside distracting thoughts, he held Nangong Xue'er's small hand.
Walking into Elder Mu's small courtyard, Ji Mo said to Elder Mu, "Elder Mu, do you want to come along to the ruins this time? Since it is an ancient Sword Emperor's, perhaps there might be your godhead fragment there!"
Elder Mu laughed dumbly, "Fine. An Imperial Rank ruin might not be much to look at, but accompanying you brat out for a stroll is still doable."
At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor also teleported over. He also brought two people: one was a young man, and the other was an old man.
The Emperor walked forward, looking a bit embarrassed, "Ji Mo, I brought two extra people. I don't know if..."
Ji Mo understood the Emperor's meaning and nodded, indicating it was fine. The ruins were so large that two extra people didn't matter. Presumably, he still had to give the Sun Emperor this bit of Face.
"Ji Mo, let me introduce you. This is my Imperial Ancestor, Saint Rank Fifth Heaven. He is the trump card of my Heavenly Dragon Empire and also a Sword Cultivator. He values this ruin very much, so I brought him along."
This old man had a kindly Face and looked like an ordinary person. However, the wisdom radiating from his eyes showed the old man's extraordinariness.
"Hello, Ji Mo. I have long heard of your heroic deeds. Hearing of your reputation is not as good as meeting you; meeting you is even better than your reputation!"
"You are too kind, Elder," Ji Mo responded humbly.
He then pointed to the young man beside him, "This is my son. His Aptitude is quite high, Saint Rank First Heaven. He admires you very much and is the future heir of the Empire, so I wanted to bring him out to Cultivate him a bit."
"Idol, hello..."
This was not a lie. From the light in his eyes, Ji Mo could see that he was indeed his fan.
"Hello. I hope you can have a harvest in the ruins."
Facing his own fan, Ji Mo still had to offer some encouragement.
"Time is tight. Let us set off together!" Several people nodded, and none had any objections. He had left plenty of resources and trump cards for Xue'er, and she would be fine cultivating in seclusion here.
