In the far east, a brilliant radiance shone, illuminating the sky.
The winds and clouds surged, and terrifying energies churned, clearly indicating that something major was happening.
"It seems to be the location of the Ghost Realm's Gate. Such a huge commotion, could it be that a ghost immortal has descended, or perhaps... that Female Supreme has arrived!"
Lu Wukai gazed eastward, feeling a pang of unease.
He had just mentioned the Female Supreme of the Ghost Realm, and immediately such a great disturbance occurred. It was too eerie.
What if the Female Supreme learned of his disrespectful words and malicious teasing, and had specifically descended to settle the score with him?
Lu Wukai was panicked. He clung tightly to Ji Mo, holding onto one of Ji Mo's arms, feeling a sliver of security.
If that Female Supreme were to attack, he'd have his brother Ji Mo capture her and make her a personal maid.
Ning Wenjing couldn't stand it any longer. She immediately pushed Lu Wukai away, shielding Ji Mo and preventing Lu Wukai from getting any closer.
She also threatened him with her eyes, signaling Lu Wukai to stay away from Ji Mo, or she wouldn't be polite.
Ning Wenjing found this old rogue, Lu Wukai, extremely displeasing. She always felt this old man was very wicked and would corrupt her great villain.
Lu Wukai sensed the strong jealousy emanating from Ning Wenjing and couldn't help but frown.
He thought, what's wrong with us good brothers being close? It's normal to put an arm around each other. What's with this young girl, she's so clueless.
Just as he was about to lecture Ning Wenjing, he felt a startling aura erupt from the statue in her hand, immediately scaring him into silence.
He was very familiar with this aura; it was similar to the peace charm Ji Mo had given him before. It proved that this inconspicuous statue was actually a powerful weapon, not to be trifled with.
The Sixth Master sighed with a worried expression, "It seems that more powerful figures from the Ghost Clan have arrived. There will undoubtedly be major actions to follow, and the Eastern Domain might not be able to hold."
Although he knew Ji Mo was formidable, the Ghost Clan had an army of thousands, with countless experts of various kinds. Ji Mo, by himself, might find it difficult to turn the tide.
Unless, as Lu Wukai had just suggested, he could capture the Ghost Clan's Female Supreme, he didn't believe Ji Mo could withstand the Ghost Clan's invasion.
Lu Wukai was crestfallen. Many of his brothers had been separated, and he needed to find them as soon as possible, otherwise, they would likely all perish at the hands of the Ghost Clan.
He hurriedly asked Ji Mo, "Brother Ji Mo, do you still have that kind of peace charm you gave me last time? Could you give me another one?"
As long as he had another peace charm, he would have the confidence to rescue his scattered brothers.
Lu Wukai, if nothing else, was quite good to his subordinates. Having just escaped from the jaws of death, he immediately thought of the safety of his subordinates.
He couldn't bring himself to survive alone while disregarding the fate of his subordinates.
"If you want them, I can draw a few more for you."
Ji Mo didn't overthink it. He asked Ning Wenjing for paper and brush and immediately began drawing peace charms.
Daoist rhymes permeated the air, and runes surged.
Ji Mo's brush moved like a dragon, drawing profound runes on the paper, creating over a dozen peace charms.
What outsiders cherished as treasures, he considered quite ordinary, so he was very generous, stuffing over ten peace charms into Lu Wukai's hands.
Silence fell all around. Many people were encountering Ji Mo for the first time, but they were all stunned into speechlessness by his methods.
His strokes made the heavens and earth weep; his charms astounded ghosts and gods!
Were these peace charms?
These were all powerful weapons, their might immeasurable. Even those in the lower stages of the Mortal Immortal Realm might not withstand a single blow and would be instantly killed.
"All of them for me?"
Even Lu Wukai, who had weathered many storms, was trembling with excitement, his voice quivering. He hadn't expected Ji Mo to be so lavish.
He had only asked for one, but he received over a dozen.
This was a true brother, so moving.
If Ning Wenjing hadn't been glaring at him suspiciously, he would have rushed forward and kissed Ji Mo a few times.
"Yes, you can make do with these. Without good talisman paper and special cinnabar ink, these peace charms are just passable. Don't mind them. If I have time in the future, I'll draw some proper ones for you."
Ji Mo was clearly not entirely satisfied, but he couldn't help it due to the limitations of the conditions.
Passable?
Lu Wukai was stunned. If he hadn't known Ji Mo was always low-key, he would have thought this was intentional bragging.
The power of these peace charms could kill ordinary Mortal Immortal Realm cultivators as easily as slicing vegetables. If these were considered passable, then proper ones would surely be able to slaughter immortals!
Lu Wukai's throat felt dry, and he greatly anticipated what level of peace charms Ji Mo would give him in the future.
With over a dozen peace charms, Lu Wukai felt confident. As long as he didn't encounter the main force of the Ghost Clan army or their super experts, he would be fearless and could walk sideways in the Eastern Domain.
He didn't waste any time. After bidding farewell to Ji Mo, he led his dozens of brothers to search for their scattered subordinates.
"Little Tuan Tuan, can you find A'li?"
The Eastern Domain was vast and boundless. With ghosts rampaging everywhere now, finding A'li and her group was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
At this moment, Ji Mo had no good solution and could only place his hope on the Iron-Eating Beast.
The Iron-Eating Beast shook its head blankly. Who was A'li? It didn't know her either.
Besides, if you want to find someone, you should at least let me know their aura, otherwise how would I know who you're looking for?
"Sigh, so useless. Not even as reliable as the pig at my house."
Ji Mo was disdainful, reminiscing about Tianpeng.
That pig was fat and plump, could be used as a mount, and could also find people.
If Tianpeng were here, finding A'li would surely be a simple matter.
I'm not as reliable as a pig?
Little Tuan Tuan was so angry it bristled. This was a great insult to it.
How could a dignified divine beast be compared to a pig? It was too heartbreaking.
Seeing the little fellow get angry, Ji Mo quickly comforted it, "Don't be angry. Actually, you still have your shining points. That pig can't eat as much as you can."
The Iron-Eating Beast felt even more hurt upon hearing this. It stomped its short legs and left in a huff. It wouldn't be appeased this time without ten portions of roasted meat.
Ji Mo didn't continue to coax Little Tuan Tuan. He found some colorful shredded fur on the ground, belonging to some kind of ghost creature, and excitedly began collecting it.
"Mr. Ji, what do you want these scraps of fur for?"
Oli Ge looked puzzled and also helped collect them.
"To make you a close-fitting leather suit, it'll keep your body strong and let you punch little monsters with one blow."
Ji Mo said excitedly, feeling that Ultraman from the Xuanling Realm was about to appear under his hands.
He planned to use these special shredded furs to make a Tiga-themed leather suit for Oli Ge.
Oli Ge was so excited he was about to jump. The peace charms Ji Mo drew casually were so powerful; if the clothes he made were anything to go by, they would definitely be extraordinary.
Ning Wenjing also helped collect them. The three of them were engrossed in picking up the colorful fur on the ground, paying no attention to the neglected Little Tuan Tuan, who left without looking back, feeling wronged.
