Bai Xiong remained silent.
He naturally knew that their Hall Master was terrifyingly unparalleled, but Ji Mo gave off a feeling of being unfathomably profound.
A mere massage, a skewer of barbecue, had already benefited him immensely.
Most importantly, Ji Mo had enabled Hei Meigui to successfully awaken the Star Radiance Sacred Body.
This meant that Ji Mo might truly hold the secret to awakening special physiques.
Looking at Ji Mo, his aura was concealed, his spiritual energy unrevealed, appearing plain and unadorned, suggesting he might possess some peerless Sacred Body himself.
After all, to break through to the Emperor Realm, one had to undergo extreme sublimation, either through bloodline or physique.
If Ji Mo truly had a way to help others awaken special physiques, it would imply that he held the key for Emperor Realm experts to break through their shackles and enter the Mortal Immortal Realm.
The Mortal Immortal Realm was a watershed between mortals and immortals. Only by entering the Mortal Immortal Realm and cultivating to the extreme could one undergo tribulation and ascend, becoming a true immortal.
The path to immortality was distant, yet Ji Mo might hold a shortcut. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Bai Xiong saw a glimmer of hope for becoming an immortal in Ji Mo. If he were not bound by circumstances, he would have eagerly followed Ji Mo. Da Feng Novel Network.
Du Juan frowned, for Bai Xiong's silence was an answer, clearly indicating he considered the Asura Hall Master inferior to Ji Mo.
This was utter disrespect.
"Elder Bai, what do you mean by this? Do you intend to betray the Asura Hall?"
Du Juan threatened, sensing something amiss with Bai Xiong's attitude.
Once one joined the Asura Hall, they belonged to the Asura Hall in life and death. To dare to betray it meant utter annihilation of the soul.
All members of the Asura Hall had restrictions placed within their bodies; their lives and deaths were entirely controlled by the Asura Hall Master.
Bai Xiong responded via telepathic transmission, "Don't try to frame me. I only want to understand the secret of awakening special physiques from Ji Mo. Since you can't do it, don't hinder me, or the Hall Master will be the first to not spare you."
I can't do it?
A trace of indignation flowed in Du Juan's eyes.
For hundreds of years, whenever she faced a mission involving a man, she had never failed.
She refused to believe she couldn't conquer this "big pig's trotter" Ji Mo.
Du Juan suddenly let out a soft moan and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, my stomach hurts so much. Mr. Ji, could you please take a look for me?"
Her long eyelashes fluttered, her face full of allure, her hands cupping her slender waist, evoking a sense of pity.
However.
Ji Mo replied indifferently, "You ate too much, it's indigestion."
Du Juan was so angered she rolled her eyes. Did her charm not even compare to this old man Bai Xiong?
Why would you rather touch him than me?
"Old Bai, come and eat some meat."
Ji Mo handed Bai Xiong another large piece of roasted meat. It was glistening with juice, golden and oily in color, with an inexhaustible surge of spiritual energy, containing unimaginable power.
Bai Xiong took the roasted meat, cast a provocative glance at Du Juan, and began to eat heartily.
Subsequently, blood-red light emanated from Bai Xiong, his qi and blood surging like the sea, his skin surface radiating a layer of precious luster, and his aura growing increasingly potent.
"How is this possible? Bai Xiong's bloodline power is strengthening!"
Du Juan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
This was just a piece of roasted meat?
Then, Du Juan gnashed her teeth in anger, feeling she was being treated with double standards.
Immediately after, she was filled with shock.
Did everything before her mean that Ji Mo also possibly held the method for awakening special bloodlines?
Hiss...
Du Juan gasped, staring intently at Ji Mo, trying to see through his true nature.
From a hidden cave on the steep canyon wall, several pairs of eyes were fixed on the scene, filled with immense shock.
These individuals were all elders of the Asura Hall, and they had come for Ji Mo.
Having witnessed Ji Mo's series of marvels, they were all stirred.
This Ji Mo was extraordinary.
He possessed the strength to instantly kill Saint Realm experts, could crush legendary-grade protective gear with a single kick, healed Bai Xiong's chronic ailments with a stomach rub, and even a piece of roasted meat could enhance bloodline power!
"Brothers, what should we do next? Should we still make a move against Ji Mo?"
"This Ji Mo is terrifying. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to make an enemy of him."
"Perhaps we can learn from Old Bai, befriend him, and thus gain benefits."
The few people in the cave discussed heatedly, debating how to establish a good relationship with Ji Mo next.
A cold, sinister voice echoed, dousing them with a basin of cold water, "Hei Meigui is still imprisoned in the stone cell. What do you think Ji Mo will do if he learns of Hei Meigui's situation?"
The surroundings immediately fell silent.
Although they did not wish to be enemies with Ji Mo, they might not have a choice then.
Rumble!
Just then, a deafening roar erupted in the Yun Kuo Canyon.
The sound was like a great bell, making their eardrums ache and their minds go blank.
Even the Emperor Realm experts present found it unbearable, with a peculiar sound echoing in their minds, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.
What exactly was happening?
Everyone quickly investigated the situation, but their expressions changed drastically.
The Yun Kuo Canyon had undergone earth-shattering changes. The ground cracked, and thick black mist erupted from underground.
Soon, the entire canyon was enveloped in darkness.
"An earthquake?"
Ji Mo looked around with a grave expression. Through the thick fog, he seemed to see the surrounding scenery constantly changing.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, he instinctively felt that danger was approaching.
Du Juan's face turned extremely pale. Sensing the deathly stillness pervading the air, her expression changed dramatically.
She felt a bone-chilling cold, her vitality being continuously absorbed. Terrified, she hurriedly circulated her energy to resist, but the effect was not very significant.
Bai Xiong was in a slightly better condition. His qi and blood boiled, his skin radiating a radiant glow that protected his body.
At this moment, Bai Xiong felt immense gratitude towards Ji Mo. If he hadn't coincidentally awakened a trace of bloodline power, he would likely be in a difficult situation right now.
"I seem to smell an extremely evil aura."
A flicker of fear flashed in Bai Xiong's pupils, hoping his feeling was mistaken.
Upon hearing this, Du Juan's delicate body trembled, and she quickly moved closer to Ji Mo.
However, strangely, the closer she got to Ji Mo, the weaker the chill became. This finally allowed Du Juan to breathe a sigh of relief and regain a sense of security.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, a shrill and desperate scream echoed from the darkness.
A strong smell of blood permeated the air.
Following that.
The sound of some creature chewing and feeding could be heard, making one's hair stand on end and their hearts tremble with fear.
In the darkness, enormous figures constantly shifted, seemingly closing in on Ji Mo and the others.
"It's over, we're dead. We're going to be killed by these monsters and then eaten bit by bit."
Du Juan's voice trembled, her eyes wide with terror as she looked around, afraid something would suddenly pounce on her and swallow her whole.
Bai Xiong was also filled with unease. Although he was not afraid of death, he could not bear this atmosphere.
Only Ji Mo showed no fear on his face, looking curiously at the figures within the black mist.
