The core of the ancient battlefield between humans and demons.
Ning Yi, the patriarch of the Ning clan, his hearty laughter echoed throughout the ancient city. The Ning clan cultivators surrounding him also wore smiles, filled with immense joy.
"Excellent, truly excellent. First, those scoundrels from Ten Lakes Village were wiped out, and now these scum from Flying Phoenix Ridge and Tongtian Pavilion have followed suit. What a relief!"
Ning Yi let out a long sigh of relief, the gloom on his face finally vanishing completely.
Ten Lakes Village, Flying Phoenix Ridge, and Tongtian Pavilion, these three top powers had killed many Ning clan disciples. Now that they were all annihilated, it was truly a cause for great celebration.
With so many elites dead, the strength of these three factions was greatly diminished, and they should not pose any major threats for a while, which gave Ning Yi considerable peace of mind.
Finally, he could stop living in constant fear and have some time to recuperate.
"That Mr. Ji is truly remarkable, his strength is extraordinary. To have dealt with these three factions in such a short time is incredible. It seems I must find an opportunity to meet him. If he could help guard the seal, it would be as solid as gold, and those petty individuals would never dare to encroach again."
Ning Yi discussed with those around him, planning to find a way to meet Ji Mo.
He believed Ji Mo to be a person of absolute righteousness and purity, and perhaps they could cooperate.
Just then, a clan member reported: "Patriarch, the latest intelligence indicates that a large number of demon pawns have been mobilized, and many lurking demonic beasts within the ruins have also revealed themselves. It seems there is a major operation underway."
"What?"
Ning Yi's expression became extremely grave. "Could it be that old fellow, the Night Priest, can no longer hold back and intends to fight us to the death? Issue a decree to reinforce the city defenses, activate all defensive formations, and hold the seal at all costs."
Inside the ancient city, the Ning clan members were filled with apprehension, yet their faces were resolute, prepared to die fighting.
However, not long after, new intelligence arrived, bringing a sigh of relief to everyone.
Those demon pawns and numerous demonic beasts were not heading towards the ancient city, but rather towards the basin.
"Could they be going after Mr. Ji? Has the Night Priest lost his mind? To make such a grand move, to expose all his hidden strength, all for the sake of dealing with Mr. Ji?"
Ning Yi could not fathom why, with the Night Priest's cunning and calculating nature, he would make such an irrational move. It was too abnormal.
He feared Ji Mo might be outnumbered, but he dared not rashly send reinforcements, worried that the Night Priest might be feigning an attack elsewhere.
Helplessly, he could only order scouts to closely monitor the situation.
...
Within the basin.
Ning Wen was happily cleaning up the battlefield, her hands getting sore from picking up various weapons, magical treasures, and storage bags. She even found a few spatial rings.
The price of just the spatial rings alone was astonishing, let alone the priceless items contained within.
The harvest this time was truly immense. The Ning clan would no longer have to worry about their livelihood, and even their cultivation resources would be abundant.
Ning Wen would occasionally steal glances at Ji Mo, her eyes full of starlight.
For such kindness, repaying him with her life countless times would not be enough. How should she repay the great deceiver?
The Iron-Eating Beast was still clinging tightly to Yu Xiaohuan's leg, drooling all over.
The little fellow looked at Ji Mo expectantly, urgently "grunting" and calling out, meaning, "You must keep your word, hurry up and make me spicy rabbit heads."
Ji Mo was somewhat envious of the Iron-Eating Beast. Was this fellow also a bit mischievous? It actually knew to cling to a beautiful woman's leg.
And if you're going to cling, what's with the licking?
Those who know understand you're a glutton, but those who don't might think you're lustful.
At this moment, Ji Mo was also a bit speechless. He had only said that to lure the Iron-Eating Beast into action earlier. He couldn't possibly make Yu Xiaohuan spicy, could he?
That black silk... no, that Yu Xiaohuan was also half-human. She couldn't be eaten.
"Little Tuan Tuan, your perspective is too narrow. Look at this little rabbit, it's skinny and has no meat on its bones. Eating it now isn't worth it. Let's fatten it up before we eat it, alright?"
Ji Mo coaxed in a low voice.
He planned to fool the beast for now and make up for it by catching more wild rabbits later.
The Iron-Eating Beast stared at Yu Xiaohuan's shapely figure, then pinched her fair, jade-like slender leg. It thought, this fragrant meat is more than just a little bit. Spicy rabbit heads can wait, but eating a spicy rabbit leg first should be fine, right?
It decisively shook its head, indicating that it must eat spicy rabbit meat.
"Mr. Ji, please, please, don't cook me. I'll do anything you want."
Yu Xiaohuan's slightly reddened pupils welled up with tears, her fluffy rabbit ears drooped, her mouth pouted, her obedient and helpless expression was truly pitiable.
It had to be said, this pitiful, weak appearance was exceptionally endearing.
Especially her soft voice and pleading expression, which were hard to resist, making one's heart melt.
Ji Mo's gaze became a little unfocused. He stepped forward, grabbed the Iron-Eating Beast's short leg, and yanked it off Yu Xiaohuan.
He was about to ask if she really meant anything she said.
But suddenly, he heard a startling roar.
The earth trembled, and beast roars shook the heavens.
Distant dust billowed, and a vast number of creatures were rushing towards them.
"What's going on? Why have so many demonic beasts suddenly appeared?"
The cultivators from the Yu family were filled with terror. The terrifying demonic beasts, rarely seen on normal days, were now charging like a tide.
With so many demonic beasts, the Sky Poison Demonic Ants couldn't hold them back. Ji Mo wondered if he had any solutions and if he could protect them.
"Ooh, big wild boars, big wild cows, and big rabbits. Little Tuan Tuan, your spicy rabbit heads are here."
Ji Mo was very excited, his eyes shining.
With so many demonic beasts delivering themselves, if he could subdue them all, wouldn't he be rich?
He quickly took out the tiger tally and began to activate it.
Brilliant rays of light erupted, and immortal spiritual energy surged forth, a peculiar energy engulfing the approaching horde of demonic beasts.
The Iron-Eating Beast couldn't resist, and with its short legs, it rushed forward, pouncing on a rabbit-like demonic beast nearly five meters long.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Some of this group of demonic beasts were torn apart by the Iron-Eating Beast, while the rest were controlled by Ji Mo.
Following this, a continuous stream of various demonic beasts voluntarily came to him, and at the same time, demon pawns of all factions walked right into his trap.
The demonic beasts that were originally controlled by the Night Priest almost all defected and became Ji Mo's pets.
As for the demon pawns, they came in waves and were wiped out in waves, all of them disappearing without a trace.
Ji Mo's smile was so wide he could barely close his mouth as he saw the ever-growing group of demonic beasts around him.
The proprietress, who had been observing secretly from a distance, was filled with confusion. She didn't understand why Ji Mo was subduing so many demonic beasts.
For a reincarnated demon god, these demonic beasts were like ants, useless. If he wanted servants, he should be looking for powerful ones.
"Mr. Ji's actions have always been unconventional and mysterious. Could he have some grand plan?"
The Ancient Desolate Soul-Devouring Toad guessed that Ji Mo must have some ulterior motive and was planning something big.
