"I don't believe it,"
Long Chen said with disdain, "At least there's one thing you haven't brought out—the divine weapon of the Beitang family. Do you want to keep it for yourself?"
If you stole it and Beitang Rushuang saw it, just imagine how she would see you. "
Clang, clang, clang!"
Mo Nian threw out several more divine weapons and stormed off angrily. Among those divine weapons was indeed a dazzlingly colorful, ancient divine bow.
Looking at the many divine weapons on the ground, Qu Jianying said a bit embarrassedly, "Long Chen, isn't this a bad idea? He risked his life to enter the City of Wrongful Death, relying on his own skills to retrieve the treasures. Isn't it a bit too much for us to clean him up completely?" "
Too much?" No, no, that's because you don't understand Mo Nian. What he spat out definitely doesn't exceed half of what he received. Long Chen smiled. He knew Mo Nian very well.
This guy is very generous in other ways, but when it comes to what he gained from tomb raiding, he's like a miser—picking at his things hurts as much as picking at his flesh.
This guy had once taken Long Chen to tour his secret chamber, a place even Liu Zongying didn't know, containing millions of artifacts.
All of these were obtained by Mo Nian over the years, and he categorized them by type, age, plasticity, and so on. Long Chen even saw things like bellybands and undergarments.
In short, he was reluctant to give away anything he obtained from tomb robbing, especially fond of collecting, under the pretext of understanding history and protecting the relics of sages.
The reason Long Chen kept teasing Mo Nian and making him spit out some treasures was because he feared some supreme treasures would be hidden away by him. That would be such a pity.
But with Mo Nian showing so many terrifying artifacts, Long Chen felt at ease. No matter how foolish this guy was, he wouldn't hide such a terrifying artifact at a time like this.
As long as he took it out, whether for the Mo Sect disciples or the Tianwu Alliance, it was the same.
"This is truly astonishing. So many powerful figures actually died in the City of Wrongful Death." The old man looked at the divine artifacts on the ground, still finding it hard to believe.
These artifacts are all renowned in history, and their owners are supremely powerful warriors. Looking at these artifacts, thinking of how they died in the City of Wrongful Death back then is both heartbreaking and uneasy. What secrets does the City of Wrongful Death hold?
"The divine artifacts of the Nangong and Beitang families will definitely be returned to them, but the Yanling Blade from the Eastern family will definitely not be given to them, leaving them for skilled blade wielders.
As for this Ximen family's dragon-patterned claw... Qu Jianying was a bit troubled, unsure how to handle it. Qu Jianying looked at Long Chen.
The Ximen family had originally been enemies of Long Chen, but after returning, whether out of conscience or realizing Long Chen's unstoppable trend, they chose neutrality.
In the subsequent battles, although the Ximen family remained neutral, they sometimes sided with the Tianwu Alliance. In the Xingyu Divine Realm, Ximen Tianxiong even pointed at Dongfang Yuyang's nose and insulted him, so the Ximen family was not considered an enemy of the Tianwu Alliance.
"Just arrange it as you see fit. There's no need to ask for my opinion. I'm the worst person who deals with people, so I'll leave this matter to you." Long Chen said with a smile.
Long Chen shook his head inwardly. As his cultivation improved, Qu Jianying's domineering nature had lessened considerably. In many matters, she was considerate of his feelings, unlike before, when she had to make every decision.
But with respect and distance, the old man remained consistent—scolding him for disobedience and hitting him when he was dissatisfied. This made Long Chen feel more close. This was what a real family looked like. Perhaps that's why the old man could never be the commander.
Qu Jianying nodded and respectfully put away these artifacts. It was one thing that Mo Nian didn't know their origins, but for Qu Jianying, these were all predecessors who had sacrificed their lives and shed blood for the Tianwu Continent. He had to show respect—this was the foundation of being human.
After putting away the artifact, Qu Jianying originally intended to go back immediately to make arrangements, but suddenly remembered and told Long Chen the news of the Blood Fiend Demon Lord from the Yin-Yang Realm.
"Blood Fiend Demon Lord?"
Long Chen was startled. Even the Emperor Miao-level experts were willing to serve as his bodyguards, and none of the Dragonblood Legion experts managed to keep him alive. This person's strength was truly terrifying.
No one understood the current terror of the Dragonblood Legion better than Long Chen, so he felt at ease letting them cause trouble in the Yin-Yang Realm. He never expected such a terrifying existence to be provoked.
"This person should be Jiezi. According to our Tianwu Continent, he has already embarked on the path to becoming an emperor. That future Great Emperor will be him."
In every era of the Tianwu Continent, only one Great Emperor emerges, yet there are only Emperor Saplings on the continent, yet no one shows any signs of becoming emperor, which is truly worrying. Qu Jianying sighed.
The omen of emperor-ascension she mentioned referred to the blood sun behind the Blood Fiend Demon Lord. It was said that when the Great Emperor attained enlightenment, various strange phenomena appeared. Once these phenomena appeared, all the Dao empowered them, heaven and earth overturned, and the laws of heaven and earth obeyed him.
Now that the Blood Fiend Demon Lord has emerged and the path to emperorhood has begun, yet there is still no sign of movement on the Tianwu Continent. How could this not be anxious? No matter how strong Long Chen is, without the power of the Tianwu Continent, what could he possibly use to fight against the Blood Fiend Demon Lord?
According to the news Mo Nian brought back, Ye Ming was plotting to improve. It was very likely that this was the second Blood Fiend Demon Lord. This news weighed down like a massive boulder weighing down on people, making it hard to breathe, and the City of Wrongful Death made Qu Jianying extremely uneasy.
"What's there to be afraid of? No matter what schemes they have, at worst they'll just die in battle. Life and death are fated—why worry about everything?" Seeing Qu Jianying's worried expression, the old man said carelessly.
Qu Jianying glared at the old man. He was stubborn and indifferent to anything, but she simply couldn't do that.
"Long Chen, what do you think?" Qu Jianying asked.
"I don't have much of an opinion. I agree with the old man's view: work hard to improve yourself, do your best, and leave the rest to fate.
If the Tianwu Continent truly has its fate sealed and is on the verge of destruction, people like us alone cannot change anything.
Anyway, I just need to focus on myself. No matter who invades Tianwu Continent, to protect my family, I'll risk my life on the line. If I fight for one, I'll break even; if I fight for two, I'll earn one. Long Chen chuckled.
The old man chuckled and nodded. Long Chen's idea was exactly his type. Life values pleasure and vengeance; what is meant to come will come. Worries and worries are what life is truly enjoyable.
Qu Jianying shook his head. The old and the young were simply unreasonable. Talking to them about strategy was like playing music to a cow.
"I'm heading back first. I'd better discuss this with Tian Xuan. You two rough guys can't be bothered to waste time with you." Qu Jianying finished speaking and was about to leave.
"Alliance Leader, I just remembered. I have another important matter to discuss with you." Long Chen suddenly said.
"What is it?" Qu Jianying stopped in his tracks.
"Well... Lingshan should have mentioned it to you. At this moment, we should give our Tianwu Continent a ... of celebration," Long Chen chuckled.
Qu Jianying's face instantly turned bright red as he scolded, "You little rascal, you don't think about the real business every day, always spouting useless things. We're all grown up, and if you keep talking nonsense, you'll tear your mouth apart." After
saying this, Qu Jianying ran off as if fleeing. Long Chen looked at the old man, only to see his expression somewhat complicated.
"What, old man, are you embarrassed? This doesn't seem like your style at all. Long Chen asked.
The old man sighed, patted Long Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Child, you're very thoughtful. Lingshan has already mentioned this matter to me."
Thinking about it, I owe Jianying too much. I didn't understand when I was young, but now that I do, we're both old.
As for what you mentioned, I've already decided. When the dark age passes, I want to give her the grandest wedding to make up for what I owe her. Long
Chen nodded: "I've basically mastered the ninth form of the old man's Heaven-Opening Technique. As for the details, I think I'll figure it out myself slowly."
I want to visit the High Priest and see if His Majesty has any instructions. The
old man pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. Since Long Chen was cultivating the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, it was indeed impossible to complete it according to his own standards. It was better to let Long Chen study it himself slowly.
Long Chen left the Kaitian Battle Sect, sat on the flying boat, and gazed at the endless black clouds in the void, his eyes shining with a sharp light.
"In the dark age, dark clouds covered the sky, making it impossible to tell day from night. Perhaps it was known that behind the clouds was sunlight.
But no one knew when the dark clouds would disperse, or if they could live to wait for the morning sun to return again. The darkness gave endless despair.
But... Damn, why do I just like black? Long Chen looked at the sky full of dark clouds, feeling no oppression at all; instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of ease.
"Because your heart is inherently evil." Dragonbone Evil Moon replied calmly.
"Tch, you're the Dark Evil Dragon, the most evil existence. Are you complimenting me?" Long Chen curled his lips and said.
"We are evil, but we have our limits. Unlike you, who threaten others with your excrement, your evil knows no bounds, and you will stop at nothing." Dragonbone Xie Yue cursed loudly, seemingly recalling the scene when he first met Long Chen and when he wanted to pee on him, forcing it to bow its head.
"If you don't believe me, I am someone whose heart is full of sunshine and deeply loves life. How could I be evil?" Long Chen said confidently.
"Nonsense, why do you like wearing black so much? That's because black can cover your evil.
If you wear white, the evil in your heart will be exposed, and you won't be able to stand it yourself. Don't you know this? "Dragon Bone Evil Moon said coldly.
"No way, could it be that I've been infected by you without even realizing it?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Nonsense, stop making baseless accusations. Being with you, I've been infected with all my evil energy. I'm ... now, forget it, not telling you this is pointless.
In short, remember that humans are the most complex creatures; what you see may not be your true self.
Facing sunlight, you can only see where you shine, but you don't realize that the shadow behind you can shade the sky. "Dragon Bone Evil Moon said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Long Chen was taken aback. Dragon Bone Evil Moon was really talking about something.
"Find a way to see yourself clearly, or else when you perform the Ninth Form of Heaven, I will be corrupted by your evil. When I fall too, you will become a demon.
So, remember, the human race has two sides, more complex than any other being. You can't rely solely on me to help you control your emotions; you have to take control yourself. "Dragon Bone Evil Moon reminded him.
"Alright, I understand." Long Chen nodded. He had indeed relied too much on Dragon Bone Xie Yue, Ling'er, and Xiaotian lately, and it seemed somewhat inappropriate.
"Weren't you going to the Wine God Palace? What brings you here? "Suddenly, the Dragonbone Evil Moon shouted.
Before Long Chen was a black sky curtain, with an endless aura of death emanating from him. The surrounding mountains and rivers had long since become a land of death. This was the entrance to the Evil God's Tomb.
