Du Rui'er, standing beside them, blushed to the roots of her ears.
Did being older mean one could do whatever they pleased? To utter such shameless words, discussing childbirth in public.
Although the demon race had always been direct and never beat around the bush, this was too unrestrained.
Du Mu, however, was unfazed. The continuation of a powerful bloodline was a natural instinct for the demon race, and an immortal fetus was enough to drive anyone mad!
Even he, upon thinking of a potential immortal grandchild, felt his blood rush to his head with excitement.
But could a heaven-defying bloodline that illuminated nine-colored auspicious clouds truly appear in the Xuanling Realm?
This made him treat the matter with caution.
"Cough, cough..."
Ji Mo, who was still wolfing down his food, choked and quickly gulped down several large mouthfuls of tea.
He swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a solemn expression, "My two elder sisters, you've found the wrong person. My body is actually weak, my kidneys are a bit deficient, and I have to drink goji berry tea and take vitality pills every day. My genes aren't great either, so you should look for other demons. That golden toad just now was quite good; it has a powerful bloodline and a strong body, especially suitable for you."
Forced into a corner, Ji Mo had no choice but to reluctantly admit his weakness and enthusiastically push Jin Cheng out.
A spider and a mantis, both creatures that devoured humans without spitting out bones, he dared not even touch them.
Then, he looked at Du Rui'er with a vigilant expression, wondering if she was also an old demoness pretending to be young.
"What are you looking at? Stare at me again, and I'll eat you. Blehh..."
Du Rui'er glared at Ji Mo, then hooked the corner of her mouth with her little finger, baring her teeth and sticking out her tongue at him.
She deliberately put on a fierce expression, but it backfired, and the grimace she made was incredibly cute.
"Young Master Ji, rest assured, Rui'er is fourteen years old and pure-hearted. Moreover, our Du family are all vegetarians, so you don't need to worry about your safety."
Du Mu seemed to have perceived Ji Mo's worries and explained with a smile.
These two old demonesses were no match for his daughter. In terms of appearance, character, and family background, they were all impeccable. He believed that his daughter would be the one to laugh last.
Upon hearing Du Mu's words, Ji Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to them, this Du family seemed quite reliable.
Tang Ruofei said coldly, "Old Du doesn't eat people, but he's no pushover either. He likes to use people to grow flowers and plants. If you stay here, you'll eventually become fertilizer."
Huh?!
Ji Mo's scalp tingled. It seemed there wasn't a single decent demon in this arena!
The Western Region was too dangerous; he wanted to return to the Southern Region!
Du Mu, Zhu Mei, and Tang Ruofei gathered and discussed something sneakily.
Finally, they reached a conclusion.
"We will invite a formation master as soon as possible to reconstruct a bloodline detection array. Old Du, don't play any tricks. If the person disappears, you won't be able to bear our wrath."
Zhu Mei and Tang Ruofei left with lingering reluctance, issuing stern warnings.
They couldn't confirm Ji Mo's bloodline, and at Du Mu's suggestion, they felt it was better to re-test. They didn't want to make a mistake and become a laughingstock.
"Sect Master Du, thank you for your hospitality. I have an urgent matter at home, so I'll take my leave now."
Ji Mo also hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.
Du Mu said indifferently, "Young Master Ji, please go ahead, but be careful on your journey. It is safe within my Xi Xia Mountain Villa, but once you step outside, I imagine those two old demonesses will invite you back for a good 'reception'."
Ji Mo, who was about to step away, immediately stopped.
Du Mu's lips curved into a smug smile. "Young Master Ji, why not stay here with peace of mind for now? With this old man here, I will surely keep you safe. Where is your home? You can write a letter, and this old man will have his servants deliver it to report your safety."
Ji Mo shook his head, resigned to staying for now and figuring out a way to escape later.
...
Night fell, and the moon hung over the willow branches.
Ning Village was quiet.
During the day, the village celebrated the disappearance of the strange illness, and now, everyone had gone to sleep with happy hearts.
However, danger quietly approached.
Over a hundred shadowy figures arrived stealthily, led by the powerful mysterious figures from earlier in the day.
"Tonight, we will break through Ning Village and capture everyone alive."
A voice devoid of any emotion rang out.
"I've paid a heavy price this time, so you'll have to compensate me afterward."
One of the burly demon races, with a pained expression, pulled out a golden talisman.
The talisman shimmered with flowing light, and a wisp of immortal spiritual energy permeated the air, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations. It was actually an immortal talisman.
Although it was only the lowest grade of immortal talisman, it was extraordinary in the Xuanling Realm.
Ning Village was protected by the White Emperor statue. To break in, they had to destroy the White Emperor stone statue first.
If it were in the past, they wouldn't have had such confidence.
Now, the White Emperor statue was heavily damaged, with little remaining energy, reaching a point where it could be destroyed.
"Don't worry, as agreed beforehand, our families will compensate you, and you can choose the treasures of Ning Village first."
The others nodded and made their promise.
The burly demon race wasted no more words and immediately activated the immortal talisman, transforming into a beam of golden light that struck the White Emperor stone statue.
Boom!
The White Emperor stone statue was hit, instantly cracking and shattering into a pile of dust.
Such a massive commotion startled the entire Ning Village.
"Not good, enemy attack! The White Emperor statue has been destroyed."
A woman cried out, her voice echoing throughout the village.
With the White Emperor statue destroyed, Ning Village lost its protection, and there was a risk of annihilation tonight.
"Everyone, make your move. Remember not to kill anyone first. These old, weak, women, and children must be kept to threaten the stubborn elders of the Ning clan."
The leading shadowy figures reached a consensus and led the experts behind them into Ning Village like a tide.
They soon encountered resistance. Several Ning Village women in the Spirit Emperor realm stepped forward to intercept, injuring several of them in succession.
"Strange, weren't these people poisoned? How are they still so full of life?"
Despite their confusion, the several Emperor realm cultivators could not reverse the situation. The leading shadowy figure made a powerful move, and in no time, he had knocked down several women.
"Mortal Immortal Realm!"
Those women looked on in despair. It turned out that beings of this level were dealing with their Ning Village, and there were several of them.
"Don't resist futilely. Surrender obediently, and we won't harm your lives."
The leading shadowy figures said to the other people of Ning Village.
In their eyes, Ning Village was like fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.
"The Ning clan only fights to the death, never surrenders!"
More than ten elderly women, leaning on their walking sticks, displayed an unyielding attitude.
This was pride ingrained in their bones. The Ning clan had never retreated when facing the Demon race or the Ghost race, let alone now.
"Old fools, you court death!"
The leading shadowy figure struck again, and several elderly women spat blood and were sent flying.
Hearing the commotion, Ning Wenjing woke up from her sleep and rushed out.
Seeing her clansmen injured all over the ground, she gnashed her teeth in anger. She immediately took out the bow and arrows from her storage bag, nocked an arrow, and drew her bow, unleashing an astonishing shot.
"A mere trick!"
The leading shadowy figure was completely unfazed. He easily caught the lightning-fast arrow with two fingers, his face filled with disdain.
But the next second, his expression froze. He felt a sharp pain in his chest.
There was actually a hidden arrow that accurately struck him.
"Such exquisite multi-arrow technique!"
His face turned extremely ugly. Although this arrow only pierced his clothes and left a small white mark on his skin, being shot by an ant-like existence made him feel incredibly humiliated.
"Die!"
His killing intent soared, and he lunged directly at Ning Wenjing, intending to smash her into a pulp.
At the moment of life and death.
In Ning Wenjing's room, a sky-piercing auspicious glow erupted, and a terrifying energy surged forth.
