50: revenge

After Ji Mo stepped into Wind City, he did not deliberately conceal his tracks; with his current strength, there was no need to.

He went straight to the outside of the Zhang Family Manor but did not rush to act.

He planned to wait until the dead of night before taking action.

His targets for revenge were only the contemporary power holders of these two great Families and those at the center of power.

As for the female relatives and children, Ji Mo truly couldn't bring himself to harm them.

As for worrying about these people seeking revenge in the future, Ji Mo didn't care at all.

He thought, if even the people of this continent are feared, how can one speak of reaching the Peak?

Night slowly fell, and the entire Wind City was quietly swallowed by darkness.

Ji Mo looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "It's truly a dark and windy night for murder."

As soon as his voice fell, his figure drifted like a ghost, easily evading the Zhang Family's guards and heading straight for the most luxurious residence in the manor.

His primary target was Zhang Zhentian, the Clan Chief of the Zhang Family.

As expected, Zhang Zhentian was in this residence; he had not yet gone to bed and was handling affairs in his study, which undoubtedly provided convenience for Ji Mo's actions.

Ji Mo's figure flickered, instantly appearing before Zhang Zhentian.

The terrifying Aura of a Half-step Innate surged out like a tangible force, instantly locking onto Zhang Zhentian.

Although Zhang Zhentian saw Ji Mo appear, he was suppressed by this Aura, unable to speak, and his body was unable to move.

Ji Mo wanted him to watch with his own eyes as his life went to the Yellow Springs; only then could it be considered true revenge, only then could the other party fall into Hell with endless regret.

With a flash of Sword Light, Zhang Zhentian's head instantly separated from his body.

Several small furnaces instantly refined his body into nothingness, leaving only a large head, placed solitarily on the study table.

Ji Mo deliberately left the heads of these people to tell the Zhang Family that Zhang Zhentian was dead.

He put away Zhang Zhentian's Storage Ring, then moved through the remaining residences of the Zhang Family.

Anyone whose Aura was perceived by Ji Mo to be slightly strong was cleared away by him, and the Zhang Family's treasury was completely ransacked by him.

After dealing with the Zhang Family, next was the Li Family.

Ji Mo arrived at the Li Family residence and found that the Li Family seemed to be plotting something; all the important core members of the Li Family were gathered in the Deliberation Hall to discuss matters, with Li Batian at the head, speaking passionately.

Since everyone was present, Ji Mo no longer hid his figure.

He casually dealt with the guards at the entrance and walked step by step into the main hall.

Someone noticed a figure entering the main hall entrance and, thinking it was their own guard, loudly reprimanded, "Presumptuous! Who allowed you to enter without permission? Get out!"

"Oh, what great prestige. I had intended to let you die silently, but since you're all gathered here, I'll let you die with understanding."

With this voice, Ji Mo's figure completely appeared before everyone, and only then did they clearly see his appearance.

"You are Ji Mo! Aren't you cultivating in Peerless Sect? How can you be in my Li Family?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Naturally, I'm here to avenge my parents!"

Ji Mo looked at these people, his eyes filled with killing intent, and he no longer wasted words.

A sharp Sword Qi flashed like lightning through the crowd; the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and the Li Family members had no power to resist, their heads instantly rolling.

Following his previous method, Ji Mo used the small furnace to refine their bodies, took their valuables, and left only their heads, to inform the remaining members of the Li Family of their fate.

With his revenge complete, Ji Mo had no intention of continuing to act, his figure flashed, and he headed straight for the Ji Family.

He quickly detected Clan Leader's Aura, then instantly appeared before Clan Leader.

This sudden appearance almost scared Clan Leader to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. After seeing who it was, Clan Leader exclaimed in surprise, "Ji Mo? Why are you back?"

"Clan Chief, I have returned for revenge.

The main figures of the Zhang and Li Families have been completely annihilated by me.

Before others react, you should make some plans as soon as possible. This is my repayment of your last kindness.

From now on, the Ji Family and I will have no further connection."

After Ji Mo finished speaking, he took out several Profound Rank Secret Manuals and some Medicinal Pills and placed them on the table, then continued:

"These Medicinal Pills have the effects of Body Tempering and improving cultivation base. After consuming all of them, they should help you Breakthrough to the Half-step Innate Realm. At that time, you will be able to control Wind City. This can also be considered my repayment to you on behalf of my parents."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mo didn't give Clan Leader a chance to speak, activating his Movement Technique, and instantly disappeared from the Ji Family manor.

Clan Leader wanted to keep him, but could only raise his hand, looking at the disappearing figure. After a long while, a sigh full of regret leisurely came: "Alas..."

However, what did all this have to do with Ji Mo?

Ji Mo had no deep feelings for the Ji Family to begin with; except for Ji Ruoxi, he owed no one else.

Reaching this point was already his repayment for occupying this body. From then on, the sky was high and the sea was vast, allowing him to roam freely.

Ji Mo only felt his Soul cleansed as if it had been purified, and his mind was exceptionally broad.

He had already fulfilled his promise to the original owner, helping the original owner avenge his parents' deaths. Now, his only enemy was Song Jianyi in the Peerless Sect Holy Land.

With one major concern perfectly resolved, Ji Mo was in a great mood.

At this moment, he only needed to wholeheartedly pursue the Dao and live the life he yearned for.

As for what would happen to this small city afterward, Ji Mo no longer needed to concern himself.

Whether the Ji Family chose to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots or had other plans, it no longer had anything to do with him.

The reason Ji Mo did not converse with the Zhang and Li Families to inquire about the cause of the original owner's parents' deaths was that he felt it was completely unnecessary.

He only needed to know who the enemies were, then kill them, which would be an explanation to the original owner. Moreover, he also incidentally enhanced the Ji Family's strength.

In Ji Mo's view, his actions were completely in line with his inner self and had already reached the extreme.

Ji Mo did not linger in Wind City and left the city under the cover of night.

He first returned to the ancestral land, the place that witnessed his rise.

Under the waterfall, he took a refreshing bath, hunted some wild game, roasted meat to eat, and decided to rest there for one night, thinking he would not return again.

Ji Mo had a special attachment to this place; after all, when he Transmigrated, this was his sanctuary, and he had spent over a year here.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Mo felt playful and used Sword Light to carve out a hidden cave behind the waterfall.

He took out a blank Jade Slip, immersed his Soul into it, leaving behind a Profound Rank Advanced Mind-Cultivation Technique and an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, the Drawing Sword Technique, and also took out two bottles of Medicinal Pills and placed them on a stone table.

Ji Mo preserved the Medicinal Pills using a unique method, believing they could be stored for hundreds of years.

Perhaps someone in the future might obtain these Opportunities, or perhaps they would be forever buried here as time passed.

But none of this mattered; this was just a small pleasure for Ji Mo.

The next day, Ji Mo operated the Lightness Skill to its extreme, his Movement Technique at Perfection, and his speed was incomparable to when he first went to Peerless Sect.

At this moment, his figure was like lightning, darting through the mountains and forests, leaving only blurry afterimages.

At sunset, Ji Mo saw from afar the Wushuang City standing on the vast land.

Looking at the giant city within reach, a hint of longing unconsciously appeared in Ji Mo's eyes.

That mature and gentle figure quietly emerged in his mind, causing his mood to suddenly become excited.

He quickened his pace, entered the city gate, and headed straight for his small courtyard.

Along the way, the surroundings were calm as usual, without any disturbances.

It seemed quite reasonable.

Since joining Peerless Sect, Ji Mo had spent very little time in the city and rarely socialized, so not many people actually knew him.

Standing in front of his courtyard gate, Ji Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

In just over half a year, having undergone countless hardships and tempering, he now possessed formidable strength.

He gently pushed open the courtyard door; the house, having been uninhabited for a long time, had accumulated some dust.

Ji Mo raised his hand and waved, and a small spiritual power storm instantly surged forth. Wherever it passed, the dust scattered and dissipated, and the house immediately looked brand new.

"I wonder if Sister Ruoxi is here," Ji Mo muttered to himself, then moved to Ji Ruoxi's courtyard gate.

He held his breath and focused, but did not detect the Aura of Ji Ruoxi or the big cat, suggesting that neither of them was in the house.

So, Ji Mo took out a Communication Jade Slip and quickly sent a message to Ji Ruoxi.

If she could receive it and was near Wushuang City, she would surely return.

Afterward, he sent a message to Nangong Xue'er, informing her that he had returned.
