"Is there treasure in the pool?"
Ji Mo's eyes lit up. Such a dazzling treasure light was definitely something good.
The Treasure-Seeking Snake, having benefited greatly, wanted to show off. It immediately turned into a green streak and shot into the bottom of the pool to retrieve the item.
What was retrieved was a rhombus-shaped crystal the size of a palm, with over a dozen finger-sized red beads attached to it.
The beads were radiant, and within them, clusters of pulsing flames were visible, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
"Myriad Flame Beads!"
The proprietress exclaimed, covering her mouth in excitement.
These were truly extraordinary items.
Despite their small size, a single bead, upon fully releasing its fiery power, was enough to incinerate an ordinary city in an instant.
If Sun Zhi had possessed the Myriad Flame Beads, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths to modify the formation. A few beads would have likely been enough to burn Chi Zhang City.
These were ultimate weapons. If handled properly, they could even be used to instantly kill super-experts below the fourth level of the Mortal Immortal Realm.
The proprietress and Ya Zi's eyes turned green with envy, and Ji Mo, being generous, gave each of them a few beads.
Ya Zi clutched several Myriad Flame Beads in its claws and provocatively glared at the Treasure-Seeking Snake. Finally, it had the confidence to face the lewd serpent directly.
After the Myriad Flame Beads were removed from its surface, the rhombus-shaped crystal appeared even more extraordinary.
It shimmered with multicolored radiance, with profound runes constantly appearing. There was even a sound like a heartbeat emanating from it.
No one knew what it was, but it was definitely of extraordinary origin.
The Treasure-Seeking Snake, being the strongest, could sense its internal space, which was filled with dense immortal spiritual energy.
"Could it contain a celestial beast?"
The Treasure-Seeking Snake had such a thought. After all, the sound of a heartbeat implied the possibility of a living creature inside.
"This should be an egg."
Ji Mo studied it for a while and came to this conclusion.
The proprietress and Ya Zi clearly didn't believe him. Did their eggs look like this?
Sensing their suspicious gazes, Ji Mo said, "The world is vast and full of wonders. I once found a black and white stone egg that also had a heartbeat inside."
He remembered picking up a mysterious black and white stone egg in the Silent Ridge last time, which he later gave to the black chicken at home to hatch.
He wasn't sure if it had hatched yet and decided to check on it when he returned home, and perhaps let the black chicken try to hatch this crystal egg as well.
He felt it might be some rare and exotic beast, and if it hatched, it would be worth a fortune.
The proprietress and Ya Zi were struck as if by lightning, their faces filled with shock.
A black and white stone egg?
Could it be that legendary creature, but hadn't it gone extinct long ago?
If it were true, it would undoubtedly cause bloodshed and earth-shattering waves!
They exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
However, they soon felt relieved. With Ji Mo around, what was there to fear from bloodshed?
Ji Mo stuffed the rhombus-shaped crystal and a few Myriad Flame Beads into his embrace, preparing to leave.
The proprietress picked up the Rubik's Cube from the ground and handed it to Ji Mo. Although it was an item of the demon race, it was Ji Mo's spoils of war, and she dared not keep it for herself.
"What do I need this trash for?"
Ji Mo didn't think the pitch-black Rubik's Cube was worth anything. Although it was handy for smashing people, it seemed useless.
The proprietress said, "The item contained within it is quite remarkable."
What was inside the Rubik's Cube was the spatial magic artifact of immense origin, rumored to be an item of the Demon God.
The proprietress said this with a purpose. If Ji Mo could control this item, then the theory of Ji Mo being the reincarnation of the Demon God would be confirmed.
"Oh, it contains treasure inside?"
Ji Mo's interest was immediately piqued. He planned to study it carefully upon returning to see how to open it.
After some effort, they finally found the exit and returned to the surface.
Chi Zhang City was already in ruins.
The ground was cracked, and there were remnants of broken walls everywhere.
Fortunately, Ji Mo had acted quickly and killed the Third Elder, stopping the formation's operation in time.
Otherwise, the entire Chi Zhang City would likely have become a wasteland, possibly even submerged in lava.
"Fortunately, Mr. Ji acted in time. Otherwise, Chi Zhang City would have been turned to ashes and completely vanished from the world."
The proprietress sighed. Ji Mo had saved millions of lives.
This act was truly immeasurable in its merit.
Along the way, many people who saw Ji Mo showed gratitude, with some even kneeling on the ground.
They had been so desperate and helpless before, believing they were doomed. If Ji Mo hadn't stopped the Seven Fiend Alliance's plot, they would have already become corpses.
Ji Mo scratched his head, feeling somewhat bewildered.
Why were they all kneeling to him, making him feel like a savior?
At Fu Lai Inn, there was a joyous atmosphere.
The cultivators inside cheered excitedly, feeling they had not misjudged. Mr. Ji was indeed a master worthy of trust.
Tang Xuan was overjoyed beyond measure.
He was glad that he had ultimately bet on the right person and made the most correct choice in his life.
The Seven Fiend Alliance had colluded with the demon race, plotting to massacre the city. As for Tang Qian's close association with Sun Zhi, even calling him brother, it would surely have brought utter disaster upon the entire Tang family.
His decision to break ties with Tang Qian and support Ji Mo had conveniently distanced him, preventing him from being implicated.
Tang Qian was completely finished. From now on, the Tang family would be his.
"Jian Jian, if it weren't for you, I might already be dead."
Fang Tong clasped her hands in front of her chest, gazing at Wang Wenjian with deep affection. Her tone was unusually sweet and tender.
Previously, she had been cold and extremely proud, but now she was like a clingy little enchantress.
Her eyes sparkled when she looked at Wang Wenjian.
Indeed, women in love were all strange.
It wasn't surprising that Fang Tong said this. It was her spontaneous visit to Fu Lai Inn to find Wang Wenjian that allowed her to escape disaster. Otherwise, given the terrifying situation just now, who knew if she would have died tragically outside.
Therefore, Fang Tong attributed all of this to Wang Wenjian's merit, believing that Wang Wenjian had saved her, and her demeanor suggested she wanted to pledge herself to him.
Xuan Yang was envious. Why didn't he have Wang Wenjian's romantic luck?
He inwardly disdained Wang Wenjian. The girl was clearly showing her feelings, yet this blockhead showed no reaction and was very indifferent. He was truly a disgrace to men.
"Oh, Xiao Yang Yang, if it weren't for you, I might already be dead."
A magnetic voice sounded in Xuan Yang's ear. Jiang Ang, gathering his courage, boldly struck up a conversation with Xuan Yang.
After falling out with Du Mu Bai, he had nowhere to go and had been following Fang Tong.
He happened to follow her to Fu Lai Inn, thus escaping the disaster.
Seeing Fang Tong confessing to Wang Wenjian, he was deeply moved and couldn't suppress the stirrings in his heart, approaching Xuan Yang to pour out his feelings.
Since he had also experienced a brush with death, Jiang Ang had let go of his inhibitions. He no longer cared about worldly opinions and dared to face his true emotions.
Xiao Yang Yang?
Xuan Yang's scalp tingled upon hearing this.
Seeing Jiang Ang's lecherous gaze, he couldn't help but tremble, goosebumps erupting all over him.
"You pervert, get lost! I'm a pure man!"
Xuan Yang let out a furious roar and kicked Jiang Ang flying.
This was infuriating!
Why was it that the soft girl confessed to Wang Wenjian, but the one pouring his heart out to him was a smelly old man?
