Chapter 1339 – Dad Is Only Tired!

“It has only been a few years, how did you turn into this wretched state?” Wine Sage could be considered half a teacher of Ji Mo Ya. Looking at the handsome and awe-inspiring disciple turning haggard made him feel alarmed and furious.

Ji Mo Ya returned a forced smile but did not speak.

As Wine Sage inspected Ji Mo Ya’s pulse, his face slowly turned severe. Brat Ya’s condition seems to be exactly as the rumors spread by the Ji Mo Clan had rumored it to be.

Especially his body. The injuries aside, Wine Sage also sensed a stagnant state of mind from Brat Ya. This feeling permeated throughout his entire body, making anyone witnessing feel sad for Brat Ya.

Wine Sage could not endure this and wanted to advise, but the words were stuck at his throat.

This was ultimately the internal affairs of the Ji Mo Clan. Even as a Half-Sage, he has no authority to meddle in it. Poor Brat Ya, he has given everything for the clan, yet he was turned into a discarded chess piece now.

After pondering for some time, he said: “I observed that the Feng Shui of the Ji Mo Clan is not really good. The person who should be getting well became even worse off than before. Why not return to the Holy Court and recover there instead?”

With the Ji Mo Clan acting overly excessive, they would likely not view Brat Ya with much importance. Letting the latter remain here would only bring about more suffering from him; if that is to be the case, the Holy Court would be a better option. With him watching over, his days would be better.

Ji Mo Ya smiled, revealing a vague visage of his past glory: “Is Lord Sage looking down on this disciple and feels that I no longer have the ability to defend myself?”

Wine Sage was dumbstruck.

He sighed and patted Ji Mo Ya’s shoulders before turning to leave. Upon reaching the door, he could not help but add: “If you have any requests, you can send a letter to this Sage at any time.”

This was a promise.

A trace of gratitude flashed through Ji Mo Ya’s eyes for a moment but soon disappeared. However, he still nodded: “Thank you, Lord Sage!”

Wine Sage left.

Mo Si was still feeling slightly unconvinced: “Young Master, why did you not agree with Lord Sage, staying at the Holy Court is much better than remaining here!”

Ji Mo Ya’s voice was filled with fatigue as he replied: “In my current state, it will be the same no matter where I stayed! So be it! As a Ji Mo Clan member, I have offered everything in this life to the Ji Mo Clan, consider this as my repayment for the clan’s nurturing. From today onwards, I will no longer owe or have anything to do with the Ji Mo Clan!”

He waved his hand after speaking, signaling for Mo Si to leave.

Mo Si could not hide the anger and sadness in his heart as he silently retreated.

Little Treasure was silent for a moment before he patted Ji Mo Ya’s hand, this was his way of expressing consolation.

Ji Mo Ya laid down on his back, preventing Little Treasure from seeing his expression. All he could hear was a voice filled with cold frustration: “Little Treasure, Dad is fine! Dad is only tired! Very tried! I have carried the heavy burdens of the Ji Mo Clan and finally obtained relief today. Dad should be happy! Just that I have caused Little Treasure to suffer because harsher days are to come. However, Little Treasure you can be rest assured, Dad will protect you even if I have to die!”

Little Treasure silently took Ji Mo Ya’s hand, placed it on his cheek, and said: “Dad, Little Treasure will accompany you. Do not be sad!”

The hand on Little Treasure’s face started trembling…

Demons.

Lord Lion Emperor has recently cleaned up the tribes that held animosity towards him, causing waves of unrest amongst the demons. Things have finally calmed down during recent days.

That was because it was the Full Moon Sacrificial Ceremony that happens once every century.

The Full Moon Sacrificial Ceremony is one of the most important ceremonies for demons. The Moon Deity held great significance to demons.

During Ancient Times, other than the Primordial Divine Beasts, the rest of the demons were unable to develop intelligence.

The Moon Deity took pity on the demons and bestowed them its grace, the Moon Essence.

The demons slowly developed intelligence after absorbing the Moon Essence. They started to temper their constitution and started walking the path of cultivation.
