There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Suddenly, cool fingers gently covered her eyes, and a familiar voice rang in her ears, instantly clearing her dazed mind like a refreshing breeze.

"Don't look, don't be afraid, it will be over soon."

Amid the crackling of burning wood, a short cry of pain rang out but quickly disappeared, as if the mouth of someone who had been struck had been forcibly covered.

What followed was a chilling crushing sound.

The stench of blood mixed with the acrid smell of burning hair and flesh filled the air, making one feel nauseous. Hu Meier, however, paid no heed to this, greedily clinging to Jiang Mo's chest, drawing a sense of security from him as if breathing in fresh air.

It wasn't until a slightly trembling, furry bundle was placed in her arms that Hu Meier realized what she was seeing was not a hallucination before her death, but reality.

She couldn't help but grab Jiang Mo's sleeve, her expression pale and bewildered:

"Jiang Mo! Have you seen my sister and father? And the newborn baby, they..."

Hu Meier hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Aside from Jiang Mo, she couldn't think of anyone else who could save the people she cared about, but when the words came out, she couldn't help but feel that she was being too selfish and couldn't help but feel guilty.

Finding her amidst such a raging inferno was already no easy feat.

How can we expect Jiang Mo to keep coming and going?

"It's alright, Miss. I've already seen her out. I'll find Lord Huoyu as soon as possible. While I'm gone, please take good care of yourself."

"Okay?"

Standing on the increasingly trembling ground, feeling the growing restless energy around him, Jiang Mo's expression turned slightly serious, but his tone remained gentle.

Chapter 100 Stop it!

Huo Yu Gong, as the owner, knew far better than anyone else what kind of calamity was befalling the manor.

Someone touched something they shouldn't have.

Without bothering to think about when the secret was exposed, before things became completely irreversible, Huo Yu Gong took the secret artifact passed down through generations of the manor and headed straight for the source of the disaster.

An attempt to stop what was about to happen.

However, Huo Yugong was not a master of the Innate Realm like Jiang Mo, who was proficient in lightness skills and movement techniques. The person who dared to risk stealing the treasure was an even more formidable figure.

When Huoyu Gong rushed to the depths of the underground, the situation was already quite bad.

Not only did the Reverse Scale Sword Spirit, sensing the intrusion, awaken and engage in fierce combat with the blood-clad, white-haired man, but someone also forcibly removed the Reverse Scale Sword itself from the pool of earth flames.

He was about to seal the sword in a stone box and take it away.

As for the loss of the Reverse Scale Sword's suppression, it led to another devastating natural disaster, turning the surrounding area into a deathly wasteland.

The thieves clearly didn't care about such things.

To them, human life is nothing more than a number written on a desk.

But Lord Huoyu cared.

His daughter lived here, his wife was buried here, and everything he cherished was inextricably linked to this land.

How can we let these people destroy all of this?

Absolutely not!

Unfortunately, many things cannot be accomplished simply by having the will. Even though there are many masters residing within Fire Rain Manor.

But how much power can they contribute in the face of life and death?

The mere revelation of the identities of the thieves on the other side was enough to deter most people. Only a few who had benefited from the manor for generations and could not bear to part with this land were willing to stay and fight to the death.

Several experts engaged in an exciting battle in the not-so-spacious underground space.

The rampant and chaotic forces further disrupted the surrounding天地气机 (heaven and earth energy), affecting the effectiveness of the seal that originally suppressed the earth's core fire veins.

Streams of flame have been continuously shooting into the sky with a roar.

Due to the influence of the Reverse Scale Sword, the flow of time here has become chaotic, to the point that although it feels like a long time has passed, everything seems to happen in an instant.

The Reverse Scale Sword must be returned to its rightful place!

Clutching the token tightly, Huo Yu Gong, unaffected by the Reverse Scale Sword, huddled in a corner, waiting for an opportunity. Feeling the imposing aura emanating from the masters' every move, his overweight body trembled uncontrollably.

But the resolve in his heart remained completely shaky.

Instead, as time goes by, they become more and more determined, even willing to take a desperate gamble to fight for that last glimmer of hope.

Thus, when the Reverse Scale Sword Spirit unleashed its power once more, disrupting time.

As the person wielding the Reverse Scale Sword was desperately dodging the attacks from the experts of the manor, Huo Yugong rushed out.

His slightly bulky body was now moving with surprising speed.

While everyone else's movements were inevitably slowed by the Reverse Scale effect, Huo Yu Gong was still incredibly swift. Even before the sword-wielding thief looked over, Huo Yu Gong had already rushed to his side.

Caught!

Even though the surrounding air had risen to a level unsuitable for anyone to stay due to the turmoil of the earth's core fire veins, the touch from the Reverse Scale Sword was still somewhat cold.

This made Huo Yugong shudder involuntarily.

But this still didn't make him give up. He turned around and charged towards the pool of earth flames with the sword hilt, intending to return the reverse scale to its rightful place.

But blocking his way was a suddenly appearing bluish-gray figure.

The Reverse Scale Sword Spirit stared at Huo Yugong with icy eyes that seemed not to belong to the living. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and a merciless voice entered Huo Yugong's ears:

"You... are not qualified..."

There was none of the trials Jiang Mo had encountered before. Without hesitation, the Reverse Scale Sword Spirit raised its hand, and a vast and invisible force erupted from the hilt, directly sending Huo Yugong flying backward.

The Reverse Scale Sword slipped from his hand.

Just as Huo Yugong was about to crash into the rock wall like a cannonball, his fate uncertain, a ball of green light suddenly surged out from his chest.

It was as if a gentle breeze had dispelled the gloom.

The power of the Reverse Scale Sword to freeze time dissipated instantly, and everything returned to normal. However, Lord Fire Rain no longer had the chance to try again.

I'm such a useless person...

Watching the Reverse Scale Sword hilt constantly change hands amidst the scramble, but no one except the one holding the stone box could hold onto the hilt for long, Huo Yugong couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile.

He lost his will to fight, but the thief didn't want any more trouble.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the sharp blade aimed straight for his throat. To avoid further interference, the opponent didn't even use any hidden weapons.

Instead, they directly attacked from the front.

But a light, ghostly light was faster than the cold glint of the blade, piercing the attacker's heart and causing him to fall straight down.

Then, a rather familiar figure appeared before Lord Huoyu.

Hope suddenly rekindled in his eyes. Before Jiang Mo could ask about his condition, Huo Yugong, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up and grabbed his hands tightly.

As if entrusting everything, she placed what she had never let go of, even in moments of despair, into Jiang Mo's palm:

"The reverse scale has recognized its master; it can only be entrusted to you!"

The words were fragmented, but Jiang Mo still understood what the other person meant, so his gaze naturally turned to the chaotic crowd scrambling for the prize.

"No problem, then I'll take it. You're entrusting Mei'er to me as well."

Gripping the small, broken piece of the sword tip tightly in his hand, Jiang Mo muttered something to himself and, without waiting for Huo Yugong's reply, charged straight into the chaotic crowd.

Chaos, utter chaos.

The crowd, each employing their own methods to vie for the Reverse Scale Sword, were eager to fill the already limited space completely with all sorts of witchcraft and martial arts techniques. They were so enraged that anyone who approached the sword became their target.

In this situation, trying to retrieve the sword would be like snatching chestnuts from a fire.

Even if a master of innate talent were to come, it wouldn't be effective.

Fortunately, Jiang Mo was not an ordinary innate master, but a thief with the strength of an innate master. Who here could be more skilled in the art of stealing than him?

One figure darted out, six figures entered, and a hundred figures appeared.

The already chaotic situation became even more incomprehensible after Jiang Mo used the modified Phoenix Dance Six Illusions. And taking advantage of the chaos was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to unleash the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique.

A thief never leaves empty-handed.

Like a gentle breeze, Jiang Mo swept through the crowd and took the hilt of the Reverse Scale Sword before anyone could react.

And so, the strange, bluish-gray figure arrived as expected.

As before, the test from the Reverse Scale Sword came without warning, but this time, Jiang Mo was no longer powerless to retaliate.

So that's how it is; it can not only draw upon and utilize the power of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, it directly established a domain similar to certain rules, allowing the originally chaotic and disordered power of heaven and earth to operate according to its own thoughts.

Is this a higher level of attainment?

Compared to his previous confusion and helplessness, Jiang Mo now almost immediately saw through the truth of the time-stagnant position.

And they developed a solution.

Even if it's just a small piece of the power of heaven and earth, a master of innate nature can move around in this stagnant space-time, but they will still inevitably be suppressed.

However, Jiang Mo now possesses a token entrusted to him by Huo Yu Gong.

That broken sword tip clearly came from the Reverse Scale Sword itself, giving Jiang Mo a great deal of immunity to the stagnant spacetime.

Even when faced with the test of the Reverse Scale Sword Spirit, it was still able to handle it with ease.

Without stopping, they headed straight for the Earth's core flame pool deep within the mine, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"Stop it!"

Before the raging sea of ​​fire could scorch his eyebrows, Jiang Mo had already leaped through the air to the spot where the Reverse Scale Sword had been hovering. He gripped the hilt tightly, pouring his innate true energy into it without reservation, eager to unleash the unique power of the Reverse Scale Sword.

The shattered fragments in his palm were deeply embedded in his flesh.

The shattered sword tip, stained with blood, struggled to squeeze out from between Jiang Mo's fingers, returning to its original position and making the Reverse Scale Sword even more complete.

It seemed that she sensed Jiang Mo's determination.

It seems they acknowledged his abilities.

The Reverse Scale Sword, which had been lifeless, ended its long hibernation with a slight tremor, and a thin, bluish-gray light flowed across its blade.
