With the aid of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf tribe, the Great Qin Empire's declining situation began to reverse, and they launched a counterattack.
The newly formed Heavenly Fragrance Wolf Cavalry legion pursued the victory, causing the Yan Zhao army to flee in disarray and driving them completely out of the Great Qin borders.
Great Qin recaptured Wule Pass.
Such a brilliant victory spread, greatly boosting the morale of the Great Qin army.
Subsequently, Ji Mo healed Yue Longgang's injuries and began to deal with the allied forces of Tianlin and Xiliang.
The Heavenly Fragrance Wolf Cavalry legion was invincible.
The cities lost by Great Qin were successively recaptured, and Tianlin and Xiliang retreated steadily.
Great Qin, on the verge of annihilation, actually made a comeback against all odds, shocking countless people.
The name of the Heavenly Fragrance Wolf Cavalry legion also gradually spread far and wide.
...
Black Rose was in trouble. She was accused of being a traitor and locked in the underground stone prison of the Asura Hall.
Viper, with his venomous words, blamed Black Rose for the deaths of Wen San and Wen Si, while also falsely accusing her of ambushing and severely injuring him.
He colluded with Cang Liu to provide false testimony, leaving Black Rose unable to defend herself and unjustly imprisoned.
Asura Hall, Assembly Hall.
The twelve elders of the Asura Hall were in heated debate.
They had not yet reached a final decision on how to deal with Black Rose.
"Esteemed elders, Black Rose fell deeply in love with a man, cruelly killed Wen San and Wen Si, and shamelessly ambushed me. She can never be forgiven."
Viper, his face filled with murderous intent, only wished to see Black Rose dead.
Several elders spoke in agreement, advocating for Black Rose's execution.
These elders were either on good terms with Viper or had conflicts with Black Rose.
They had offended Black Rose before, and now, knowing she had become a Spirit Emperor, they feared future retaliation and thus wanted to strike first.
"We must consider this matter carefully. Black Rose has advanced to the Spirit Emperor realm and awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body. Such an unparalleled genius, wouldn't it be a pity to kill her? It would be better to show leniency and let her atone for her crimes with merit."
The Tenth Elder, White Bear, offered a different opinion.
He had no enmity with Black Rose, so he did not join in the condemnation. Instead, he pleaded for her.
With Black Rose's current potential, her future was immeasurable, and she might even lead the Asura Hall to greater glory.
How could such a peerless prodigy be killed so casually?
Furthermore, White Bear knew Viper's character and did not quite believe his words, finding the accusation of Black Rose betraying the organization somewhat far-fetched.
The elders could not reach a consensus on whether to execute Black Rose, and the debate continued.
The Hall Master of the Asura Hall, seated silently on the jade throne, did not express any opinion.
"How to deal with Black Rose can be discussed slowly, but her man must die."
Viper's eyes darted around, and he retreated to the next best option, intending to eliminate Ji Mo first.
He planned to make Black Rose experience the pain of losing her beloved man, letting her live in endless torment.
"That's right, that man must die."
Almost all the elders agreed with this decision.
Anyone who dared to lay claim to a woman of the Asura Hall, that wild man named Ji Mo, must not be allowed to live.
Seeing that all the elders supported this, Viper became smug, eager to immediately arrange for an assassin to bring back Ji Mo's head.
He could not wait to see what Black Rose's expression would be when she saw the head of her beloved man.
"Hall Master, please let me handle this."
Viper volunteered, his heart set on personally taking Ji Mo's head to vent his anger.
However, the Hall Master of the Asura Hall refused, stating calmly, "That Ji Mo cannot die yet. This matter will be discussed later."
Immediately, the assembly hall erupted in an uproar.
Everyone knew that the Hall Master had always doted on Black Rose. Was this a case of "loving the house and its crow," extending leniency to Ji Mo?
But this was completely unlike the Hall Master's usual style and exceeded everyone's expectations.
The Hall Master of the Asura Hall had always been autocratic. Although Viper was resentful, he did not dare to raise any objections, lest he accidentally anger the Hall Master, which would lead to a tragic end.
After the Hall Master of the Asura Hall left the assembly hall.
The elders immediately began to whisper amongst themselves, discussing why the Hall Master had spared Ji Mo.
"Your vision is too short-sighted."
The Fifth Elder chuckled, his cloudy eyes shining with a cunning glint, clearly having discerned the hidden truth.
Everyone quickly gathered around, asking for his guidance.
After enjoying a round of flattery from the elders, the Fifth Elder asked, "What do you all think of Black Rose?"
"Old Fifth, stop playing coy."
Viper said impatiently, unable to bear the other's deliberate suspense.
"When Black Rose last left the Asura Hall, her cultivation was only at the late stage of the Spirit Saint realm. In less than three months, she not only advanced to the Spirit Emperor realm but also awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body. Don't you find it strange?"
The Fifth Elder pointed out the crucial detail.
White Bear said, "Perhaps Black Rose had some fortuitous encounter outside."
"Even with a fortuitous encounter, a surge in cultivation can be explained, but how can the Star Radiance Sacred Body be awakened so easily?"
The Fifth Elder's lips curved into a cold smile, and he stated with certainty, "Black Rose holds a great secret."
"You mean, Black Rose's awakening of the Star Radiance Sacred Body might be related to that man named Ji Mo?"
Everyone suddenly understood the key point.
In this case, the Hall Master of the Asura Hall not killing Ji Mo was for this reason.
Could it be that Ji Mo possessed the method to awaken special physiques?
Hiss...
Upon hearing this, all the elders gasped, their hearts pounding, their eyes filled with infinite longing.
If one could awaken a special physique, the chance of breaking through the Emperor realm bottleneck would greatly increase.
Such temptation was irresistible to any Emperor realm expert.
Instantly, everyone in the hall displayed greed.
"It's a pity that Black Rose was personally interrogated by the Hall Master, and we know nothing about the situation."
Everyone felt indignant but also helpless.
The pupils of a few people flashed with a sharp light, clearly harboring ulterior motives.
In the deepest part of the Asura Hall's underground stone prison, Black Rose was confined with her cultivation sealed.
She had clearly suffered a lot; her expression was dim, and her beautiful face was pale.
"Sister Rose, why do you have to lie? I know your character, and you would never kill Wen San and Wen Si. As long as you tell the truth, the Hall Master will surely be magnanimous and release you."
A beautiful woman stood outside the prison cell, earnestly persuading Black Rose.
Black Rose remained silent. For Ji Mo's safety, she had to admit to killing Wen San and Wen Si, otherwise, the Hall Master of the Asura Hall would never let Ji Mo go.
She did not want Ji Mo to be in any danger, so she chose to bear all the consequences herself.
"It's useless for you to protect that man. The organization has already decided to eliminate Ji Mo."
The beautiful woman said.
Black Rose's face changed drastically, and she was consumed by worry. She pleaded, "This has nothing to do with him. Sister Du Juan, please help me plead with the Hall Master to withdraw the order."
"Sister, you don't need to worry. I will naturally plead for you, but you must honestly tell me how you broke through to become a Spirit Emperor and successfully awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body."
Du Juan feigned concern, the depths of her pupils flashing with the light of a successful scheme.
