Luo Zhenjiang turned into ashes, scattering in the air.
The entire Luo family was stunned. What had happened? Why had Luo Zhenjiang died just like that?
"Mr. Ji is becoming more unfathomable!"
Hui Neng spoke. Ji Mo hadn't even made a move, yet he had caused Luo Zhenjiang to turn into dust. Such a divine and mystical method!
What?
Ji Mo made a move?
Hadn't Ji Mo been smashed into a pulp by Luo Zhenjiang?
Everyone was confused.
Then, a series of coughs could be heard.
Ji Mo crawled out of the deep pit, cursing and filled with rage.
If his body hadn't been tempered by the system's cruel and inhumane torment over the years, making it strong enough, he would have been crushed into meat paste.
Sharp-eyed individuals noticed that a crystal ring on Ji Mo's left little finger was flashing with a terrifying, sacred glow.
Recalling the burst of white light from Luo Zhenjiang's body just moments ago, they finally confirmed that it was indeed Ji Mo who had acted, killing Luo Zhenjiang.
The complexions of several Luo family elders immediately fell. Their gazes towards Ji Mo changed completely.
Was he this terrifying?
He could easily kill Luo Zhenjiang, a half-step Immortal Realm cultivator, with such ease. What kind of strength did he possess?
Then, they remembered their previous disrespectful words towards Ji Mo, and they trembled with fear, worried that Ji Mo would settle scores with them.
"Why are you old geezers trembling? So timid."
Ji Mo glanced at them but paid them no mind. He looked up at the sky and asked, "Where is that bastard Luo Zhenjiang?"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. The scattered ashes floating in the sky were him. Wasn't this asking the obvious?
Hui Neng, showing great potential as a sycophant, assumed Ji Mo wanted to maintain a low profile and conceal his merits. He quickly said, "Mr. Ji, that bastard exploded on his own. It's estimated that he did too many evil deeds and was struck by heavenly retribution."
"This is a case of 'he who does evil will perish by his own hand'!"
Ji Mo sighed with deep agreement.
When this statement reached the ears of the Luo family elders, it took on a different meaning.
A warning, it must be a warning.
This Mr. Ji was clearly subtly mocking them.
"Mr. Ji, we know our mistakes."
Luo Zheng and several other Luo family elders, filled with shame, quickly bowed and apologized to Ji Mo.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
Ji Mo gestured with his chin.
The elders understood and immediately turned to apologize to A'li, "A'li, you have been wronged. From today onwards, you are the head of the Luo family, and the entire Luo family will obey your every command."
Instantly, the surrounding Luo family disciples all knelt down, shouting, "Greetings, Family Head."
A'li was somewhat at a loss. Earlier that day, she was packing her bags, planning to leave the Luo family. She never expected things to change so quickly, and now she had become the head of the Luo family.
She looked towards Ji Mo for help, clearly wanting to hear his opinion.
Ji Mo pondered for a moment and nodded at her. Now that the traitors within the Luo family were gone, there were no lingering worries. It was a suitable time for her to take over as the family head.
A'li nodded, finally agreeing to accept the position of family head.
Immediately, the Luo family members cheered, excitement radiating from their faces.
Although the Luo family had suffered a setback today and their strength was diminished, they believed that under A'li's leadership, they would soon regain their glory and even reach unprecedented heights.
A'li's succession as family head was met with widespread approval.
The elders no longer harbored any resentment towards A'li still consulting Ji Mo's opinions. With such a powerful expert protecting A'li, they couldn't be happier.
Ye Yao had always disliked Ji Mo. After this incident, she no longer dared to harbor any other thoughts. Even if Ji Mo were to use A'li to control the Luo family, she would not have any complaints.
After all, the entire Luo family had been won for A'li by Ji Mo.
The forbidden grounds of the Luo family.
A celestial horse carried a young girl out slowly.
Luo Mujin's mood was extremely complex. She shyly walked up to A'li, tears streaming down her face, and said with immense shame, "A'li, I'm sorry, truly sorry. Your innate Dao bone is with me, and I will dig it out and return it to you now."
Having her innate Dao bone forcibly implanted since childhood, Luo Mujin had lived in guilt and torment for years, her conscience deeply uneasy.
A'li, having learned the truth from Luo Yi's confession, said softly, "Sister Mujin, you are also a victim, just like me. Now that Luo Zhenjiang is dead, let this matter end. Consider this innate Dao bone a gift from me."
Upon hearing A'li's words, the Luo family elders felt a sense of profound relief.
Kindness, magnanimity, and a clear distinction between right and wrong – these were all rare and precious qualities!
"This... how can this be?"
Luo Mujin shook her head vehemently, disbelieving that A'li would not want back the innate Dao bone of immeasurable value.
"Brother Ji has already given me a better bone."
A'li smiled faintly and gently touched the fiery mark between her eyebrows.
Instantly, profound runes flickered, and a small piece of special bone was revealed.
This bone was as white as jade, crystal clear, and exuded an otherworldly, sacred aura.
Then, it erupted with brilliant rays of light as dazzling as the sun. The soaring beams illuminated the void, and the surging spiritual energy profoundly touched the hearts of everyone present.
"Immortal Bone!"
Gasps of disbelief echoed as the Luo family members' hearts churned like stormy seas.
So their family head was even more monstrous than they had imagined! Possessing an Immortal Bone meant her path to immortality was wide open, and her future was limitless!
The Luo family members gazed at Ji Mo with reverence, their eyes treating him as if he were a deity. To create an Immortal Bone for A'li, what a heaven-defying feat!
"So, Mr. Ji is even more unfathomable than I imagined!"
The celestial horse marveled, feeling increasingly wise in its choice to follow Ji Mo.
"A'li's bone still has some rejection with your body. Let me help you adjust it."
Ji Mo walked up to Luo Mujin.
Since A'li was generous enough to give away this innate Dao bone, he would help Luo Mujin.
Ji Mo extended his slender fingertips and pressed them against Luo Mujin's forehead, gently massaging it.
Luo Mujin's body trembled, and her mind felt clear.
Then, she couldn't help but recall their first meeting, the words "xiaolongbao" seeming to echo in her ears, and her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness.
Ji Mo's fingertips seemed to possess magic. The innate Dao bone, which had previously rejected Luo Mujin's body, suddenly became perfectly compliant.
Luo Mujin's forehead glowed with auspicious light, runes intertwined, and wisps of Dao charm permeated the air. The innate Dao bone completely fused with her.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forward, forming tides that poured madly into Luo Mujin's body.
Her cultivation soared.
Spirit Saint Realm Mid-stage!
Spirit Saint Realm Late-stage!
Spirit Saint Realm Peak!
Spirit Emperor Realm Early-stage!
Her cultivation had broken through a major realm, becoming a Spirit Emperor.
This scene shocked everyone.
In such a short period, the Luo family had gained a young Spirit Emperor, and a super genius at that!
