Ying Tianbao was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Was Mo Ge abandoning him to die?
Steward Fu was also confused. Had Mr. Ji just gone in and come out, deciding not to save His Majesty?
"As expected of someone Mr. Ji calls a brother. This Great Qin Emperor truly has courage, daring to pounce on a celestial maiden descended to the mortal realm with such meager cultivation!"
Ao Li Ge muttered softly, full of admiration, thinking that a true man should be like this.
His gaze then drifted to Xuan Yang, wondering if he too should be bolder and braver.
Bang!
The wall exploded, creating a large hole, and Ying Tianbao was sent flying out from within, crashing heavily onto the ground.
He was covered in dust, his protective shield completely dissipated. If Chen Hui struck him again, he would surely die.
"Mo Ge, save me."
Ying Tianbao scrambled and quickly hid behind Ji Mo, his fear finally subsiding.
"You bastard! No one in this world can save you. Today is your death anniversary."
A voice filled with killing intent shook the heavens and earth. The entire palace collapsed with a roar, and Chen Hui slowly emerged from the ruins.
Today, this lecher must die.
"Little Bao, you two played too wildly, bringing down such a large palace. What a waste. Lust leads to ruin. Be more restrained in the future, don't be so indulgent."
Ji Mo lectured earnestly, not wanting Ying Tianbao to truly become a decadent ruler. He then turned to Chen Hui and advised, "Sister-in-law, as they say, lovers quarrel in bed and make up by the end of the night. Talk things out properly, don't keep mentioning death."
In Ji Hanhan's eyes, this looked like a lovers' spat, so he naturally had to mediate.
"Sister-in-law?"
Chen Hui's eyes widened in fury, and her anger immediately shifted to Ji Mo. She felt this fellow's mouth was too glib and he deserved to die as well.
Hearing Ji Mo's words, Ying Tianbao's eyes lit up.
He used to prefer beautiful women over his kingdom, but now he felt life should have higher aspirations. If he could have a celestial maiden as a concubine, his life would be complete.
"Die!"
Chen Hui's expression was cold, killing intent surging in her eyes.
She took a step forward, the ground shaking. Her fair hand formed seals, and accompanied by a deafening tiger's roar, a terrifying palm strike was sent towards Ji Mo.
After descending to the mortal realm, Chen Hui's cultivation was suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth in the Xuan Ling Realm, preventing her from unleashing her true strength.
However, her full-power palm strike already contained the might of immortal Dao. Even if dozens of peak ninth-level Mortal Immortal realm experts joined forces, they would not be able to contend with it.
This was the difference between immortals and mortals, a gap as vast as heaven and earth.
Unless one encountered an immortal artifact, they were invincible and insurmountable.
"This seems to be a unique palm technique from Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Immortal Spirit Realm. She's from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and her status must be quite high."
Gui Huo, who knew a lot about the Immortal Realm, judged her origin from the divine ability Chen Hui displayed.
Dragon Tiger Mountain had a considerable reputation in the Immortal Realm, dominating a celestial domain. They were not to be trifled with.
However, thinking of Ji Mo's terrifying power, Gui Huo felt it was nothing.
As this palm strike appeared, it was like Mount Tai pressing down. This area was sealed, and the terrifying pressure made one's hair stand on end.
Xuan Yang and the others felt their spiritual energy flow becoming sluggish, and their minds were affected by the tiger's roar, making them unable to resist.
However, as this terrifying palm strike approached Ji Mo, it directly collapsed and turned into nothingness.
"This… how is this possible?"
Chen Hui was dumbfounded, thinking she was hallucinating.
The opponent hadn't even moved a finger, yet he had broken her divine ability. It was too bizarre.
Disbelieving, she fully activated the immortal power within her body, her hands sliding as runes intertwined, and two phantom images of a tiger and a dragon gradually condensed.
This was her intention to use Dragon Tiger Mountain's highest offensive divine ability, unleashing her strongest strike.
As the dragon and tiger slowly took shape, boundless pressure swept across heaven and earth. The sky churned with wind and clouds, and terrifying energy continuously gathered.
One could imagine the power of this strike. However, the prelude alone caused heaven and earth to change color. Once unleashed, the entire imperial palace, or even the entire capital of Wangdu, might be leveled.
"Enough, stop making trouble."
Ji Mo said calmly, not wanting to fight the woman of his brother.
As his words fell, the tiger and dragon, which were about to take shape, let out a mournful cry of unwillingness and directly dissipated.
The terrifying energy that was about to erupt vanished in an instant.
With just a word, Ji Mo had directly broken Chen Hui's powerful immortal technique.
"Mr. Ji's 'Word-Breaking Technique' is becoming more and more terrifying!"
Fan Jingxian clicked his tongue. Even immortal techniques could be broken with a word. Mr. Ji seemed even more powerful than before.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Chen Hui's mouth, her face pale. Because her immortal technique was disrupted, she suffered a backlash, her immortal power surging chaotically within her, causing great discomfort.
She swayed precariously, swallowed the blood that was about to surge out, her face changed greatly, and she asked, "Who exactly are you?"
The opponent's strength was unfathomable, and she was definitely not someone she could deal with.
At the same time, she couldn't understand why the opponent was not suppressed by the will of heaven and earth at all, and could display such terrifying abilities.
"This is Ji Mo, Mo Ge, also known as Ji Da Caizi. Didn't you just clamor to see him?"
Ying Tianbao explained with a playful face.
Not long ago, this woman had an arrogant and condescending demeanor. Now, she finally knew what it meant to have a heaven beyond heaven and a person beyond person.
Chen Hui recalled carefully. She had never heard of such a person in the Immortal Spirit Realm, so she assumed he wasn't some distinguished figure. She then said coldly, "I am Chen Hui of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and my master is the Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Heavenly Master Zhang."
She directly stated her origin and invoked her master, intending to bully him with her influence.
Chen Hui believed that with the name of Heavenly Master Zhang, she could definitely shock Ji Mo. This brat would surely immediately back down and apologize to her.
"Wow, Heavenly Master Zhang!"
Ji Mo exclaimed, then shook his head, "Never heard of him! But your Dragon Tiger Mountain did ask me for a favor, so you should treat me with more respect."
He vaguely recalled a Dragon Tiger Auction House, which was said to be an enterprise of Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Northern Region. They had indeed interacted, and the other party had sought his help, politely proposing cooperation.
Ji Hanhan did not know that the Dragon Tiger Mountain Chen Hui mentioned was completely different from the one he was thinking of.
"Impossible, how could my Dragon Tiger Mountain beg for help..."
Chen Hui couldn't help but retort. With Dragon Tiger Mountain's immense power, people always sought them out; they never sought favors from outsiders.
Moreover, this person actually showed disdain for her master, Heavenly Master Zhang. This was too much posturing.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
She vaguely recalled that her master had mentioned some time ago that he wanted to invite a senior expert to come out of seclusion to jointly explore the Land of Buried Gods, and was willing to pay an unimaginable price for it, but the other party was unmoved.
Could it be that the person in front of her was the senior expert her master had mentioned?
Chen Hui carefully examined Ji Mo, but could not connect him with the senior expert whom her master respected immensely. However, when she saw the little Tuan Tuan obediently staying at Ji Mo's feet, she immediately confirmed Ji Mo's identity.
With a divine beast as a companion, what else was there to doubt?
"This humble woman deserves a thousand deaths!"
Chen Hui immediately knelt on the ground.
The arrogant demeanor on her face had vanished, replaced by one of utter panic.
Offending this senior expert would disrupt her master's grand plans, and she could not bear such responsibility.
