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

If you want to provoke us, you'd better be prepared to be bitten back.

Therefore, Jiang Mo deliberately created an opening, arriving at the Zuo Sima residence alone without Yan Lingji by his side. This gave Yue Shen a perfect opportunity—a chance to defeat Jiang Mo and prove herself superior to Dong Jun.

And the other party did indeed take the bait.

Well then, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve.

Bathed in the soft moonlight, Jiang Mo opened his eyes, his gaze unwavering as he looked at the bright moon hanging in the distant sky, sensing the ever-changing aura emanating from it.

Was it just a pure illusion?

Or was it a strange omen, symbolized by the moon goddess using magic to summon the cup?

Jiang Mo was also unable to make an accurate judgment for a moment.

He felt that the bright moon was astonishingly large, even exceeding the level of being admirable and praiseworthy, and reaching a point that was somewhat eerie.

It seems so close, making one worry that it might inadvertently fall from the night sky into the mortal world.

The vast and boundless moonlight filled the entire world.

In an instant, it seemed that only the bright moonlight, like frost covering the ground, was rippling around, and the original Zuo Sima residence quickly disappeared from perception.

It was as if I had accidentally fallen into another world.

It must be that some kind of barrier was created to isolate me from the normal world, thus creating an effect similar to disappearing into the shadows.

That's quite a clever tactic.

As expected of someone second only to Dongjun in the Yin-Yang School, if I possessed such abilities, assassinating the King of Han in public wouldn't be difficult, would it? All I need to do is drag him into this barrier, and then…

However, the King of Han is likely surrounded by many skilled guards.

Even though Jiang Mo had many thoughts running through his mind, he didn't dare to relax at all. His right hand was already tightly gripping the Reverse Scale Sword, ready to deal with the Moon Goddess's sneak attack.

However, the other person never appeared before Jiang Mo's eyes.

But within that bright, clear moon, there seems to be...

Moved by the flow of energy, Jiang Mo's heart stirred, and he subconsciously looked up at the bright moon that was so close to him, as clear as a mirror. In the rippling moonlight, he saw a familiar figure.

Moreover, it was a figure Jiang Mo had never imagined.

The figure stepping out from the moon was light and ethereal, with a majestic and awe-inspiring aura. The dazzling golden light surging around him seemed to want to immerse the cold and desolate moon into a blazing sun.

Dongjun?!

Whether as an enemy or an ally, this aura left a deep impression on Jiang Mo.

When he felt the dazzling aura rushing towards him, Jiang Mo couldn't help but feel his forehead throb. He subconsciously tried to activate the Reverse Scale Sword, but after freezing this space-time, he turned around and left without looking back.

The reason is the same as before for Luna.

The enemy outnumbered and outgunned, and I'm not a fool, so why would I charge in headfirst?

The fact that someone who hasn't even reached the Innate Realm could actually get Dongjun and Yueshen, the two beauties of the Yin-Yang School, to join forces is enough to shock countless people from all the schools of thought if this news were to spread.

Most people would consider this a great honor.

Fortunately, Jiang Mo doesn't need to bear this honor.

Chapter 14 So you really want to know how I dealt with Dongjun?

Indeed, for a moment, Jiang Mo's original judgment wavered. He felt that he might have misjudged the relationship between the Moon Goddess and the Eastern Lord, or underestimated the importance that the Yin-Yang School placed on him.

The importance that the Yin-Yang School placed on the secrets of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

If they knew the whereabouts of Ni Lin, they might actually risk alerting others in Xinzheng and take drastic action.

Can one person fight against the two beauties of the Yin-Yang School alone?

That's ridiculous.

Although Yan Lingji commented that Jiang Mo, with the Reverse Scale in hand, possessed the ability to threaten even a master of the Innate Realm, Jiang Mo dared not underestimate his opponent.

In this previous book, he broke through to the Innate Realm using the normal method.

Unlike the uncontrolled power he experienced with Baiyue Huoyu before, this time Jiang Mo was able to sense and analyze the strength of a master of innate realm with a clearer and more rational mind.

Therefore, they need to understand more clearly than ordinary people what kind of existence it is.

Faced with two innate masters attacking him like this, even if Jiang Mo wouldn't be scared out of his wits like an ordinary person, turning around and running away without hesitation would seem to be the right option.

But Jiang Mo was indeed exceptionally knowledgeable.

So what if two innate masters appear together? He's even been involved in battles between beings like the divine bird Azure Phoenix and the Black Feathered Phoenix at close range. This little scene won't scare him!

So what if someone is a master of innate talent?

Not to mention there are two in Zilan Pavilion alone, people you see every day. Even someone as strong as Yan Lingji was still completely subdued by him, wasn't she?

Even though it happened in bed...

Jiang Mo, brimming with confidence, was momentarily shaken and surprised, but quickly regained his composure and calmly analyzed the situation before him.

And before the offensive even hit, a conclusion was reached.

What is before them is not Dongjun himself, but a phantom-like afterimage created by the Moon Goddess using her unique Yin-Yang magic.

If we ask why Jiang Mo is so certain...

Then it must be mentioned that a strand of Dongjun's hair was wrapped around his fingertip, and a spell was cast on it to sense Dongjun's presence.

At this moment, there was no reaction whatsoever, and there was no sign of the contraction or tightening.

Once doubt takes hold in one's mind, when one looks at the figure that appears before one's eyes, one will be able to discover many flaws.

For example, the opponent's aura is not considered too strong.

Although it had already put Jiang Mo under immense pressure, it was really all bark and no bite for someone at the Innate Realm level.

Especially considering that the Moon Goddess is also there to assist her, she should be even more powerful than before.

Upon closer inspection of Dongjun's expression and appearance, Jiang Mo also felt that he was somewhat different from the Dongjun in his memory. It wasn't that the reproduction was not high enough, but rather that the temperament was somewhat different from the Dongjun in Jiang Mo's memory.

It seems to be more aloof and more oppressive.

It possesses more divinity but lacks sufficient human warmth.

With so many indirect clues, Jiang Mo became increasingly certain that what appeared before him was an illusion created by the Moon Goddess, which might possess some of the abilities and methods of the Eastern Lord.

But his strength is definitely not comparable to Dongjun himself.

Thus, the thought of escaping was abandoned. Jiang Mo looked up at the brilliant golden Golden Crow True Flame sweeping across the sky and couldn't help but shrug:

"I was really underestimated."

As if mocking himself, or perhaps whispering to someone, Jiang Mo showed no panic as the golden fire rained down like shooting stars. Instead, a rather strange expression appeared on his face:

“Golden Crow True Flame… Ah, no, Golden Crow False Flame. You should know that even the Eastern Lord himself wouldn’t dare to show off his fire control skills in front of me.”

Jiang Mo looked up, and a somewhat incongruous bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He chuckled softly, and even his voice seemed to have a strange, distorted tone, revealing a hint of coquettishness.

With a flick of the fingertip, as if striking a match, countless streams of flame surge forth.

The rain of fire, which was pouring down, was forcibly taken from Jiang Mo before it even reached him, and gathered in his palm.

Concentric borrowing method.

This is one of the reasons why Jiang Mo dared to come out alone to lure the Moon Goddess into his trap. Even though Yan Lingji was not by his side, Jiang Mo could always ask her for help whenever he needed it, thanks to the invisible connection of the Eternal Bond Gu.

Even if she couldn't unleash Yan Lingji's full power, she would still be able to fight against a master of the Innate Realm.

Of course, this move is not without its flaws. During the process of borrowing the magic, Jiang Mo's connection with Yan Lingji will become even closer.

Even to the point of blurring the lines between "you" and "me," we can more clearly perceive each other's emotions.

My thoughts and ideas are inevitably a bit confused.

That's why Jiang Mo spoke in Yan Lingji's voice earlier, displaying such charming mannerisms and actions. But for a grown man like Jiang Mo, that was really a bit of an eyesore.

Even the illusory afterimage created by the moon goddess seemed to be shocked, and even froze slightly in mid-air, as if it didn't know what to do.

"Then let me show you what the art of fire control really is."

With a light laugh, Jiang Mo withdrew the brilliant golden flames gathered in his palm, instantly refining them into pure flame power. He then unleashed it with a flick of his finger in front of his eyes.

Like a radiant sunset, or a shimmering rainbow.

The seven-colored flames ignited in the sky, instantly illuminating the entire world into a dreamlike atmosphere.

The moonlight and frost that poured down on the ground were dimmed considerably.

The illusory afterimage created based on Dongjun, when surrounded by the surrounding Nirvana Flame, quickly crumbled and dissipated under the terrifying destructive power, and then was reborn from the life force contained within the flames.

It transformed into a small and exquisite golden crow.

In fact, the illusory afterimage just now was not sitting there idly waiting to die. Like the real Dongjun, she was about to pull out the spirit of the Golden Crow with a snap of her fingers and summon it to fight for her.

Unfortunately, it was affected by the phoenix aura within the Nirvana Flame.

The spirit of the Golden Crow failed to take shape; instead, the already dim-witted illusion became even more chaotic due to the failure of the spell.

It was directly refined by Nirvana Flame.

The raging inferno did not stop there; instead, it surged even more violently, rising into the night sky as if it wanted to swallow the bright moon hanging low in front of it.

"We've found a weakness."

As he raised his hand and wiped it across his eyes, flames surged from the depths of his dark eyes. With the unique perspective granted by the Fire Charm Eye Technique, Jiang Mo observed the clash between Nie Yan and the barrier set up by the Moon Goddess.

And from it, they found the boundary between illusion and reality.

Stepping out of the illusion, Jiang Mo looked up at the figure in a moon-white priest's robe not far away, his expression strange:

"Although your temperaments are different, you are actually the same as Dongjun."

"They are both very arrogant people. However, Dongjun does not hide his pride, while your arrogance is hidden deep in your heart."

Thinking of the series of actions taken by the Moon Goddess, Jiang Mo couldn't help but shake his head.

Instead of using her most proficient magic, the Moon Goddess fabricated a fake Dongjun to fight him. Jiang Mo had already figured out her plan.

Simply put, they wanted to see how he would deal with Dongjun.
