Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chapter 99 The Arrogant Bright Moon, the Lost Mirror and Suppressed

"Don't talk nonsense. These people have nothing to do with me. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can claim kinship with me."

Chen Hao scoffed, "As for punishment, how about suppressing these Ji family members at the foot of the mountain, making them clearly feel their life's cultivation being gradually eroded, and incidentally picking a few who care about their reputation to turn against them?"

"Oh, you're so naughty~"

Qin Yao thought of something, and even this teasing, lewd old driver couldn't help but blush slightly. She couldn't resist elbowing Chen Hao, that wicked guy, with her fair and delicate arms.

"Hehe, don't you like it when I'm so naughty?"

I love it so much!

Jin Yan watched the two who seemed to understand each other perfectly and were flirting, and felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart. She longed to join them, and she longed to have such a tacit understanding with Chen Hao.

Yan Ruyu and her demon clan members pretended to be fleeing in a hurry, leaving the Xuan Yuan Sect's stronghold. However, before they had completely left the territory of Wei, they were intercepted by the Ji family in a desolate mountain range in western Wei.

The Ji family has many experts, and they had already sealed off all sides in advance, with people deployed on each desolate mountain.

Directly ahead, on a broken mountain, a man in purple robes, his clothes fluttering, appeared as if a god had descended to earth. He was one with the mountains and blended with heaven and earth, giving people a sense of the natural way and the unity of man and nature, making it impossible to fathom his depths.

"Why are you blocking our way?"

A middle-aged beautiful woman from the demon race glanced at His Highness, then stepped forward, trying to keep her expression straight, and asked in a deep voice.

Looking at that pretentious show-off in front of her, she had to suppress her laughter and pretend to be serious, which was really a bit difficult for her.

"My divine body is newly formed. I heard that the descendant of the Demon Emperor is here, so I have come to challenge him to a duel."

This man in purple was of inestimable nobility, yet he seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural world. His expression was calm, and his words were soft and gentle.

"My lord is currently preoccupied with important matters and has no time to fight you. Let's discuss this another day," the middle-aged beauty transmitted.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Please leave the Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon behind. After my divine body was initially formed, there were few divine weapons in the world that I liked, and I lacked a suitable weapon."

Ji Haoyue's words were gentle, like a spring breeze, but her attitude was unquestionable, showing an air of determination to win.

Upon hearing this, none of the demons felt humiliated, nor did they angrily curse. Instead, they looked at the Ji family members, especially Ji Haoyue, dressed in purple, with strange eyes and uneasy expressions, as if they were watching a clown jumping around.

The Ji family members frowned, feeling that this reaction seemed a bit off. Could the demon race really tolerate this?

Behind Ji Haoyue were two beautiful maids. One of them, having received a hint, stepped forward and provocatively said in a clear and melodious voice, "My young master's divine body has just been formed. Only the Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon can match him in this world. Please leave the Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon behind."

Perhaps it was truly difficult, for someone among the demon race suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing. And this laughter seemed to be contagious; once one person laughed, everyone else couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Chen Hao, standing among the demons, couldn't hold back either, and he was laughing the most heartily.

Chen Hao had been enduring it—enduring it again—but—how could he possibly tolerate something so ridiculous?

"What are you laughing at?"

A maid behind Ji Haoyue questioned him unhappily. This was Ji Haoyue's mouthpiece, and Ji Haoyue himself was also very unhappy at this moment, clenching his fists and no longer as calm as before.

"This place is an ancient battlefield, extremely strange, and it's very difficult to open the dimensional gate, so don't even think about escaping. If you don't hand over the Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon, then you'll all be left here!"

The Ji family elder roared angrily, unable to tolerate being mocked like a clown by a group of prodigies.

"Now that they're trapped, how long are you going to keep watching?"

With her fair skin and jade-like features, Yan Ruyu's smile was captivating. She was no longer tense, which not only did not ruin her original ethereal and fairy-like aura, but also added a touch of playfulness and charm.

"Yu'er, don't worry, I'll close the net now."

Chen Hao laughed and joked, completely disregarding the Ji family.

His attitude, and the way the demons revered Chen Hao, finally made the Ji family realize that this nobody might be the demons' trump card and backbone.

"Who are you?"

The Ji family elders shouted sternly.

"I am your ancestor—forget it, if you were to claim kinship with me, it would only benefit you. The Void Emperor is truly cursed to have descendants like you!"

With a single palm strike, Chen Hao channeled Yin and Yang energies, gathering the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, and in the blink of an eye, a phantom-like, majestic mountain materialized.

The Five Finger Mountain did not fall, but it emitted an immense suction force, slowly drawing in all members of the Ji family under Chen Hao's deliberate weakening and control.

If he wanted to kill, he could have wiped everyone present out in an instant, but dying in ignorance and without feeling is a kind of happiness.

This Five Finger Mountain, temporarily formed by Chen Hao, forms its own domain. If it takes root, it will automatically suppress all members of the Ji family and slowly dissipate their cultivation.

Even the power of their proud imperial bloodline will be gradually worn down and reduced to mortal during the suppression process, allowing them to clearly feel how their pride and reliance have vanished.

"With a mere flick of his wrist, he drew upon the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, condensing such a terrifying 'momentum'—not good, he's a master! Retreat quickly!"

An elderly member of the Ji family was horrified and uttered some vulgar remarks.

The Ji family members also realized something was wrong and tried to escape the mountain's pull, but the suction, though slow, was real and irresistible, making escape impossible.

They tried everything to avoid it, but they couldn't resist it in the slightest.

"Haoyue, quick—how could this be?!"

Just as an old man was about to have Ji Haoyue unleash the Void Mirror to sweep away the powerful enemy, he saw Chen Hao playing with an ancient bronze mirror that emitted a hazy and chaotic aura.

"Give it back to me!"

Ji Haoyue roared angrily, how could the precious mirror passed down from their ancestors be lost in his hands? If he did, he would become a sinner for the entire family.

But at this moment, he was enveloped by an invisible force, like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as he was sucked into the sky.

Ji Haoyue was extremely anxious. She bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. She recited a secret incantation in her heart, trying to call for the ancestral artifact to return.

Seeing Ji Haoyue's actions, the other Ji family elders realized the seriousness of the problem. They all silently used profound spells and incantations, and some even bit their tongues or cut their wrists to use the gushing blood as a sacrifice to summon the Void Mirror.

Amidst the frantic shouts of the crowd, the bronze mirror in Chen Hao's palm seemed to tremble slightly.

Chen Hao knew that the Emperor Weapon God was still not awake and was only reacting instinctively to being called. However, he then did something that the Ji family did not expect.

This madman actually squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip and smeared it on the bronze mirror. This is clearly a blasphemous and defiled act. You overestimating fool, do you think the Void Mirror will be refined and subdued because of your filthy blood?

Among the crowd, only Ji Ziyue showed an incredulous expression, her eyes wide as if she had realized something.
