A conspiracy was about to descend upon A'li once more.
The little girl, completely unaware, was packing her belongings in her room.
Having completely fallen out with the Luo family this time, there was no need to stay here any longer. She would return to Baishou Town with her Ji gege.
Ye Yao chattered incessantly from the side.
"Alas, the position of family head is within your grasp. You mustn't give it up for just one Ji Mo."
"A'li, why don't you go and apologize to the Supreme Elder, sever ties with Ji Mo, and the Luo family headship will still be yours."
"A'li, are you listening to your aunt? Think about it again."
Ye Yao earnestly persuaded, hoping to make A'li change her mind.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? If you keep this up, I won't talk to you anymore. Without Ji gege, I don't know how many times I would have died. I belong to Ji gege, and our connection can never be severed."
A'li said indignantly.
In her eyes, the position of family head was not as important as a single strand of Ji Mo's hair.
"Amitabha, this old monk is losing control. I really want to beat up a woman."
Huineng glared at Ye Yao with an unfriendly expression.
The Ginseng King waved its small arms and said, "Count me in."
Tianpeng grunted a few times, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
The Heavenly Horse was more direct, its single horn glowing with lightning, its dazzling electric light making one's heart pound.
Ye Yao's scalp tingled, and she immediately changed her tune, "There isn't a single good person in the Luo family. They are all wolves who devour people without spitting out their bones. Tomorrow morning, we'll leave this cursed place."
...
The sun set and the moon rose, and night fell.
The moonlight, like flowing water, draped the earth in a light veil. The night was cool and serene.
A dark cloud drifted across the sky, and then a chilling killing intent quietly descended upon A'li's courtyard.
The Heavenly Horse sensed it immediately. Its body moved like lightning, soaring into the sky and pouncing at the dark cloud.
Within the dark cloud, a figure transformed into a rainbow and fled into the distance.
"Trying to escape? No way."
The Heavenly Horse gave chase without hesitation, wanting to find out who dared to harbor ill intentions towards A'li.
Not long after, two more dark figures appeared, luring Tianpeng and Huineng away one after another.
"Alas, two idiots with no brains. They were easily lured away by me."
Luo Yi's smug voice rang out as he appeared outside the courtyard.
Luo family's Fourth Elder and Sixth Elder followed beside Luo Yi, marveling, "The Demonic Shadow Clone technique is indeed miraculous."
"A mere trick, not worth mentioning."
Luo Yi said proudly, "I'll go and kill that guy named Ji. Then I'll deal with that little girl for you."
The Fourth Elder couldn't stand Luo Yi's arrogant demeanor and said calmly, "We have our own ways to deal with A'li. As for you, be careful not to capsize in the gutter. I think that Ji Mo is by no means simple."
"Hmph, not simple? Without the Heavenly Horse protecting him, I could crush him with one finger."
Luo Yi snorted coldly and entered the courtyard directly, heading unerringly towards Ji Mo's room.
The Fourth and Sixth Elders also began their actions, stealthily approaching A'li's residence.
After they left, a plump white ginseng emerged from beneath the soil.
"Crush Mr. Ji with one finger? Young man, you probably don't know how dangerous the world is."
The Ginseng King showed a look of pity, then used his earth遁术 to return to A'li's room.
Ji Mo didn't need it to worry about him. It only needed to take care of A'li.
Luo Yi encountered no obstacles and easily infiltrated Ji Mo's room.
He looked at Ji Mo, who was sprawled on the bed, fast asleep with no regard for his appearance, and felt extremely unbalanced.
This kind of person actually made him suffer a crushing defeat, turning years of effort into nothing?
His hatred surged, and he decided to torment Ji Mo with the most vicious methods, to make him die in endless pain.
"First, let you taste the pain of demonic energy corroding your body."
Luo Yi pounced on Ji Mo with a sinister grin, placing his palm on Ji Mo's back, and continuously injected demonic energy into Ji Mo's body.
Soon, the sinister grin on his face froze, replaced by utter astonishment.
Feeling his demonic energy out of control, pouring into Ji Mo's body like a flood,
Luo Yi's face stiffened, disbelief etched on his features. He hastily withdrew his hand, his face filled with panic.
"Die!"
Sensing that Ji Mo was acting extremely strangely, Luo Yi formed a fist seal, his fist spewing black light, intending to smash Ji Mo into a pulp.
Boom!
A terrifying force erupted, and the entire bed instantly turned to dust.
But to Luo Yi's shock, Ji Mo was completely unharmed.
Such a commotion woke Ji Mo from his sleep. He stood up from the ground with a dark expression.
He had a grumpy look on his face, as anyone would be in a bad mood if woken from a deep sleep, especially by being knocked to the ground.
"Which bastard is disturbing my sleep!"
Ji Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes, and a terrifying light flickered within his pupils.
Luo Yi's throat involuntarily slid, swallowing saliva. He couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but he felt like a sleeping dragon was awakening.
Bang!
Before he could even react, Ji Mo slapped him to the ground with a single blow.
The bluestone floor of the room cracked completely, and Luo Yi's body smashed into a large pit in the ground.
His face was ashen, and he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.
Such terrifying palm strength, was this still human?
"Ji Mo, I'm going to fight you to the death."
Luo Yi roared and stood up, black runes weaving across his body, burning his essence, spirit, and energy to unleash his strongest power.
Then, before he could even make a move, he was kicked flying, spitting a mist of blood from his mouth.
"Ah..."
Luo Yi cried out in agony, feeling his entire chest cave in, all his ribs shattered, and his body covered in blood.
The power of Ji Mo's kick was too overbearing!
"This Ji guy is so insidious, he's been deliberately hiding his strength all along."
Luo Yi panicked, finally understanding what it meant to be crushed by strength. They were not on the same level at all.
He felt a chill down his spine, his face ashen, wanting to escape.
"Demonic Shadow Clone Technique!"
Luo Yi's body split into several figures, fleeing in different directions.
However, such tricks were useless against Ji Mo.
One by one, the figures were shattered.
"Ji Mo, what are you doing awake in the middle of the night?"
Ye Yao heard the commotion and walked out of her room, heading towards Ji Mo's room.
Then she saw Ji Mo's door explode and a figure flying out.
"Luo Yi, you damned scumbag!"
Ye Yao's eyes widened when she saw him clearly, her fists clenched, making cracking sounds.
She had already heard of his demonic identity, and thinking of how she had been fooled by this demon before, her anger immediately filled her eyes.
"You're here just in time. I'll leave this guy to you. Try to force him to reveal his collusion with the Supreme Elder."
Ji Mo instructed and quickly walked towards A'li's room.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to deal with this scoundrel properly."
Ye Yao chuckled and walked towards Luo Yi step by step.
"Hey, Ye Yao, what are you doing? Not there... Ah..."
Luo Yi's voice trembled.
Immediately after, screams of unimaginable agony echoed through the sky.
