The chaotic stone forest was enveloped in a brilliant light, which seemed to strongly suppress the ghost race creatures, making them incredibly uncomfortable and letting out piercing growls.
Lu Wukai and the others looked up and saw a massive flying beast circling in the sky. On its back, someone was casting a divine ability, intending to rescue them.
"That's..."
Lu Wukai could vaguely see several figures standing on the beast's back, one of whom was so familiar.
His whole body trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes. "It's my brother Ji Mo, it's really my brother Ji Mo. He... he actually came to save me!"
At the brink of death, to have a benefactor come to his rescue, who wouldn't be moved by such kindness?
If he were a woman, he would surely pledge himself to Ji Mo.
"Mr. Ji is truly loyal. As they say, true friendship is seen in adversity. This is a true brother."
The Sixth Chieftain was very envious. Such brotherhood was truly admirable.
Ji Mo, of course, hadn't come specifically to save Lu Wukai. He was just passing by and saw someone in distress, so he asked Aolige to act.
"My light seems to be a natural counter to these ghost creatures."
Aolige was full of righteous indignation, his spiritual power surging. The giant of light floating above his head became even more brilliant, more dazzling than the sun.
Ji Mo blinked his eyes, marveling, "Indeed, a man who believes in the light has an immeasurable future."
Back then, Aolige was just a petty thief. After believing in the light, he had become so terrifying.
Ji Mo felt he had struck gold. This Aolige was quite good and worth cultivating.
Sensing the admiration in Ji Mo's eyes, Aolige was immensely proud. He straightened his back, his whole body radiating with a flowing brilliance, becoming even more dazzling.
"Brave warrior, hurry up and act, or we're finished."
The Sixth Chieftain urged him on, wondering why the fellow was posing for so long when the surrounding ghosts were about to pounce.
If he didn't act soon, it would be too late.
Aolige blushed and began to act.
He became serious, solemn, and his body was enveloped in a radiant glow, a terrifying aura blanketing heaven and earth.
He crossed his hands in front of him, forming a cross, gathering all his energy.
Then.
A beam of white light, radiating all-encompassing brilliance, suddenly appeared and shot towards the horde of ghosts on the ground.
Instantly, the chaotic stone forest was completely submerged in light.
Ji Mo gulped, so shocked that the words "Ultraman Tiga" almost slipped out.
The move was so familiar that he couldn't help but wonder if this guy was also a transmigrator.
To perform well in front of Ji Mo, Aolige put all his might into it, continuously emitting energy beams.
Visibly, those zombies, skeletons, and ghosts were purified and decomposed, turning into dust.
It had to be said that Aolige's move had an astonishing lethality against ghost creatures.
With such high-intensity output, Aolige couldn't sustain it. After a short while, his spiritual power was depleted, and he slumped onto the beast's back.
"Mighty, but not sustained. Still weak."
Ji Mo muttered, taking out a handful of ninth-grade spirit pills for Aolige. He examined him up and down, thinking that this guy seemed to be missing something.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. Yes, he was missing a form-fitting leather suit.
This was essential gear and couldn't be missed. Ji Mo felt he should make a leather suit for Aolige when he had time. That way, he could witness the scene of Ultraman fighting monsters with his own eyes, fulfilling a childhood dream.
The ghost race in the chaotic stone forest had all been eliminated. Ji Mo had the flying beast land.
The Eastern Domain was in chaos now, and he needed to find someone to understand the situation first.
"My dear brother Ji Mo, I've missed you so much."
Lu Wukai was overjoyed and excitedly lunged towards Ji Mo, wanting to give him a big bear hug.
However, as soon as he got close, he was sent flying backward.
Ji Mo saw a disheveled old man rushing towards him, shouting "my dear," and couldn't handle it, immediately kicking him away.
Lu Wukai was covered in dirt and grime, and Ji Mo didn't recognize him at first.
However, Ji Mo hadn't used much force, otherwise, that kick might have directly taken Lu Wukai's life.
Lu Wukai, dizzy and disoriented, quickly got up and explained, "Hitting is caring, kicking is love. This is how my brother and I greet each other. Don't be surprised, everyone."
He was saving face for himself, otherwise, with dozens of his subordinates watching, it would have been truly embarrassing.
However, the three words Ji Mo spoke were incredibly hurtful.
"Who are you?"
Ji Mo asked, finding the old man somewhat familiar.
Lu Wukai felt the strange glances from his subordinates, as if they were saying: Boss, isn't Mr. Ji your sworn brother? Why does he seem not to recognize you?
He was extremely embarrassed. He tidied his messy hair and said with a mournful face, "Brother Ji, it's me, Old Lu."
"Old Lu, what happened to you?"
Ji Mo finally recognized him.
"Alas, it's a long story. If my brother hadn't come a moment later, you wouldn't have seen me."
Lu Wukai felt incredibly wronged. He tugged at Ji Mo's sleeve, and tears of grievance immediately welled up.
He recounted his experience, which drew a sigh of sympathy from Ji Mo. It seemed Old Master Lu had a difficult fate.
Ji Mo comforted him a few times, then inquired about the situation in the Eastern Domain and Ah Li's whereabouts.
Lu Wukai told him all the information he knew and then sighed, "A few days ago, those people from the Southern Domain were active in this area. But later, they were outnumbered and scattered. Their whereabouts are unknown now."
Regarding the people from the Southern Domain, Lu Wukai was extremely impressed, especially Ah Li. At such a young age, she bore burdens that were not meant for her age.
The selfless demeanor of the Little Human King had truly won over many people.
As long as they survived this catastrophe, the Little Human King would not only be the Human King of the Southern Domain but would likely become the Human King of the entire Xuanling Realm, revered by all.
Thinking that Ah Li was brought out by Ji Mo, and that almost all the formidable figures from the Southern Domain had received guidance from Ji Mo, Lu Wukai's admiration for Ji Mo grew even stronger.
"Scattered?"
Ji Mo became worried, contemplating how to find Ah Li and the others.
The worry on Lu Wukai's face vanished. Since Ji Mo had arrived, the good days of the ghost race were numbered.
He incited, "Brother Ji Mo, back then, Emperor Bai stole the heart of a female supreme being from the Ghost Realm, bringing hundreds of years of peace to the Xuanling Realm. Why don't you just steal the female supreme being herself to resolve the issue once and for all? I hear that female supreme being is incredibly beautiful."
Lu Wukai's face was full of lewdness, but suddenly he felt a terrifying chill, making him tremble.
Ning Wenjing was glaring at Lu Wukai fiercely. The statue had already been taken out, and she almost couldn't resist activating it immediately and killing Lu Wukai.
How dare this lecherous old man instigate the great swindler to do such a thing? It was detestable.
Steal a person?
What kind of ridiculous idea was this? It was too rotten.
So what if she was a supreme being? If she dared to appear, he would kill her.
Suddenly, a sky-piercing beam of radiant light erupted in the distance.
