Bai Yin 'er's body trembled when she heard her father's words. Her face turned as white as a sheet.
She had been nominated for the Emperor's concubine selection!
This was like a bolt out of the blue to her!
Although the Emperor was the ruler of the Divine Martial Kingdom and was the supreme existence of the Divine Martial Kingdom, not many women were willing to become the Emperor's concubine!
This was because the Great Emperor had too many concubines. These countless concubines were merely the Great Emperor's playthings. They had no status at all.
The Emperor would select a hundred concubines every year.
Each time, the thirty-six cities would nominate ten virgins with decent cultivation and good looks. The Great Emperor would personally choose 100 of them as his concubines.
Of course, if there was a particularly outstanding woman whose name had reached the Emperor's ears, she would also be nominated for the concubine selection.
The nominations of the Great Martial City were all handled by Governor Bai and she did not nominate her daughter. However, Bai Yin 'er's name must have reached the ears of the Great Emperor since she had still been nominated.
"It looks like some of my enemies in the Imperial City have recommended you to the Emperor!" Governor Bai's expression was solemn. The Emperor spent most of his time in the Imperial Palace. If no one had recommended him, it would be impossible for him to know how outstanding his daughter was!
Governor Bai was both furious and helpless. He did not want his daughter to become the Emperor's concubine. If Bai Yin 'er became the Emperor's concubine, her life would be over!
As the governor of Great Martial City, one of the 36 cities in the Divine Martial Country, Governor Bai naturally knew the Emperor well.
Many of the Emperor's concubines had died and those who had survived had their martial path crippled. Many of them had even lost their cultivation ranks.
However, despite knowing all this, Governor Bai was powerless to do anything. He was powerless to resist the Emperor.
Bai Yin 'er stood rooted to the ground. After a while, she grabbed her father's arm and shouted, "Father, I don't want to participate in the selection. I won't go!"
Bai Yin 'er was so agitated that she looked like she had lost her mind.
Governor Bai's heart ached when he saw this. He did not want Bai Yin 'er to participate in the selection.
However, the Emperor had decreed that if they did not comply, the entire Bai family would be executed.
"Yin 'er, calm down first. Let me think of something!" Governor Bai patted his daughter's shoulder and comforted her.
"Father, you have to think of a way. I don't want to participate in the election, and I don't want to be an Imperial Concubine!" Bai Yin 'er was on the verge of tears.
Of course, she knew what would happen to her if she became the Imperial Concubine. The so-called Imperial Concubine was the Great Emperor's plaything. She could never leave the palace for the rest of her life.
"Yes! I'll think of something! "Governor Bai said determinedly as he stroked his daughter's hair lovingly.
After a while, Governor Bai said, "Yin 'er, go back and rest. Give me some time!"
"Alright!" Bai Yin 'er nodded obediently.
…
Inside the Divine Map.
Su Mo's Spiritual Spirals had reached the final juncture. His face was pale and his body was thin.
The blood on his body was almost completely drained, and there were countless wounds all over his body. His skin and flesh were torn out, and it was extremely terrifying.
Su Mo's face was covered with wounds, making his handsome face look extremely hideous.
Not only that, but his internal organs were also severely injured, and they were practically torn apart.
"Fuse! Fuse! Fuse! "
Su Mo roared in his heart. He did not even bother to check on his injuries. He was fully focused on fusing his Spiritual Spirals!
Soon!
His last ordinary Spiritual Spiral was about to fuse with his Super Spiritual Spiral.
As long as he could hold on for another two hours, he would be able to succeed!
However, to Su Mo, these two hours felt extremely long. It was as if a century had passed!
"Pfft!"
Not long after, Su Mo spat out another mouthful of blood, which was mixed with the remains of his internal organs.
His internal injuries were already very serious. If it was an ordinary martial artist below the True Darkness Realm who suffered such serious injuries, he would have already died!
Su Mo's body had already stopped trembling. He had completely adapted to the pain and was numb to it.
It was as if he had been petrified. No matter how severe his injuries were, he did not move an inch.
Time passed slowly, and Su Mo felt as if he had been meditating for a hundred years. His consciousness was starting to fade.
However, he continued to grit his teeth and persevere.
Finally, at a certain moment, the Super Spirit Spiral suddenly trembled and then slowly returned to normal. All the pressure suddenly disappeared.
The 49 Spiritual Spirals had completely fused into one at this moment!
After a while, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were crimson, like a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Huff!"
Su Mo gently exhaled a mouthful of murky Qi, which contained a strong Blood Qi.
"I've finally succeeded!"
A smile appeared on Su Mo's face. The next step was to condense the divine elixir and break through to the Martial King Realm.
Su Mo's smile unavoidably pulled at the wounds on his face, causing another wave of pain.
Su Mo sighed inwardly. This time, his injuries were several times more severe than when he was attacked by Yin Ting.
After a while, Su Mo raised his trembling hand, took out a few healing elixirs, swallowed them, and started to heal.
As he refined the elixirs, the numerous wounds on his body, as well as the serious internal injuries, slowly began to heal.
After more than 20 hours, Su Mo's wounds had all healed and the scars had all fallen off. His skin was as good as new.
However, although his external injuries had healed, the serious internal injuries would still take some time to heal.
Su Mo opened his eyes and stopped healing. He did not have much time left and had to go to the Imperial City of Divine Martial Country to look for the Blood-striped Seed.
The rest of his injuries could only be healed slowly.
Su Mo stood up and walked to the river outside the courtyard. He washed himself thoroughly, changed into a black robe, and left the Divine Map.
When he returned to his room, he immediately went to find Governor Bai to bid him farewell.
In the main hall of the Mansion of the City Governor.
Governor Bai sat in the main seat, and Su Mo sat below him.
"Governor Bai, thank you for your hospitality. I'm here today to bid you farewell!" Su Mo said, cupping his fists at Governor Bai.
Governor Bai frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Su Mo, are you leaving just like that?"
Ever since Su Mo had moved into the Mansion of the City Governor, he had not left his room at all. Governor Bai had wanted to build a good relationship with Su Mo, but he could not find an opportunity to do so.
For the past two days, he had not given Su Mo any thought because of his daughter.
He had not expected Su Mo to leave so soon!
"Yes!" Su Mo nodded.
