"Digging up graves, cutting off descendants, today I'm going to behead your dog."
It was a bald man over a zhang tall and exceptionally strong. Although he looked no different from a human, his aura contained intense flame fluctuations, and his blood energy fluctuations were different from humans', so he was likely not human.
When he saw Mo Nian, he immediately gritted his teeth, as if he had seen his father's killer. Wielding a battle axe, the power of destiny erupted—he was actually a powerful Nine-Star Destiny Practitioner.
"Buzz!"
The bald man attacked with full force. Clearly, he had ruthlessly ruthlessly struck Mo Nian, but he also knew how terrifying Mo Nian was, so his first move was the strongest finishing blow.
"Tch, with your strength, you have no right to let me fight. If I move a finger, I'll lose." Facing the bald man's strike, Mo Nian stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of stopping.
"The way you pretended is truly unprecedented."
Long Chen was speechless. This guy was still in the healing phase and had no strength to fight anyone. He clearly asked for help, yet spoke so arrogantly.
"Smack!"
Dragon scales appeared on Long Chen's large hand. With a single palm force, he grabbed the axe. With a loud explosion, the shockwaves rolled fiercely, yet Long Chen stood like a rock, taking the bald man's full-force strike.
"You—
" The bald man struck Long Chen's large hand with his axe, causing his blood to surge violently. Shocked and furious, he was about to speak when his throat suddenly tasted sweet, almost spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and hurriedly shut his mouth.
"Let's go, you can't afford to mess with him." Long Chen looked at the bald man and said calmly.
"Defending our ancestors' hatred, irreconcilable! Since you're all in cahoots, I'll kill you too." The bald man showed a fierce expression, suddenly opening his huge mouth and shooting out a blood arrow.
The blood arrow did not strike Long Chen nor rush toward Mo Nian, but instead sprayed toward the giant axe in his hand. Seeing this, Long Chen's expression instantly darkened, and blood-red divine light shimmered across his large hand.
"Boom!"
The battle axe shattered with a thunderous crash. It wasn't caused by Long Chen's shock, but by the bald burly man. At the same time, he self-destructed, determined to use his own life and divine weapons to drag Long Chen and Mo Nian on their journey.
Long Chen's large hand still hovered in the void, endless blood mist and fragments of divine weapons flying everywhere, but they couldn't harm him in the slightest. However, Long Chen's expression was extremely grim.
"A woman's kindness only brings endless humiliation. You kindly spared his life, but he wants to drag you along.
I, Mo Nian, may not be a good person, but I have my principles. I choose my grave carefully. Mo Nian curled his lips.
Mo Nian's meaning was clear: although he often dug up graves, before he acted, he would always figure out the tomb owner's situation—which tombs could be dug and which couldn't—he knew exactly what he was doing.
To put it bluntly, the tombs he decided to dig were basically not good people, and Long Chen's mercy toward that person was, in fact, a form of distrust toward Mo Nian.
If he could absolutely trust Mo Nian, he wouldn't hold back. Long Chen's actions made Mo Nian very annoyed, even a little sad.
"Sorry, brother." Long Chen was also deeply ashamed.
"Forget it, a lifetime of life, two brothers. I'm not that petty. Besides, the influence of your inner demons can't be eliminated in a day or two. Take it slow," Mo Nian said, patting Long Chen on the shoulder.
Mo Nian also knew that Long Chen's current condition wasn't good. He had been affected by his inner demons for too long. Even if he understood now, it would take time to correct himself and gradually regain the Long Chen he once was. This matter couldn't be rushed.
"But before even entering the city, you've already run into enemies. Looks like your time spent this time wasn't in vain." Long Chen said somewhat speechlessly.
"Diligent people naturally attract attention. There's nothing you can do—the saying 'Heaven rewards diligence' is probably just like that," Mo Nian shrugged, somewhat helpless. Though his tone was resigned, his expression was quite proud.
The two entered the city. It was an ancient city, extremely dilapidated, lacking even a grand protective formation, with only a few broken teleportation arrays.
No one maintained order inside the city, nor did anyone collect an entrance fee. Mo Nian explained that this was a city without a ruler, and because it was frequently attacked by monsters, no one wanted to operate here.
This was just a temporary teleportation point. When he arrived at the teleportation array, the guards charged him two hundred top-grade Chaos Spirit Stones. Hearing this price, Long Chen was startled and thought he had been ripped off.
You have to know, top-grade Chaos Spirit Stones are extremely precious even in Emperor Heaven. Using a teleportation array once costs so much money—it's no different from robbing money.
But Mo Nian was already used to it. He readily paid the teleportation fee and, together with Long Chen, entered the teleportation array. At this moment, two men and one woman were already waiting inside.
When Long Chen and Mo Nian entered, the three of them glanced briefly at each other, each stepped inside, keeping a certain distance. Clearly, the three didn't know each other.
Mo Nian explained to Long Chen that in Emperor Heaven, many places are in a semi-wild state. Those who come here are basically adventurers, and they're the kind who risk their lives to earn cultivation fees.
The initial costs for establishing teleportation arrays in ancient cities are extremely high, usually taking decades or even centuries to barely recoup the costs before they officially start making a profit.
However, before making a profit, if you get attacked by monsters, you'll lose everything, so the teleportation costs are ridiculously high, which is understandable.
To put it bluntly, whether it's the adventurers or the people supporting the teleportation array here, they are all just licking blood from the blade's edge, so they respect each other deeply.
If someone really doesn't have money or needs to use the teleportation array urgently, they can borrow credit from them. This is done quite generously.
After waiting a full two days and gathering ten people inside the array, it finally officially activated. When the teleportation was complete, Long Chen and the others appeared atop a barren mountain.
Looking around, the surroundings were desolate, even the spiritual energy was extremely thin, spatial fluctuations were chaotic, and the laws of the Heavenly Dao were unstable.
However, this was not Mo Nian's destination. The Emperor Heaven here was overrun by monsters, many areas were forbidden zones and impassable. They had to be bypassed, so multiple teleportations were necessary.
Many teleport points are places monsters don't like to stay in, and places they dislike are basically unsuitable for human survival, though at least they're safer.
After leaving the teleportation point, Long Chen and Mo Nian continued on to the next one. Fortunately, Mo Nian needed to heal and wasn't in a hurry, so Long Chen could also ask Mo Nian about the situation in Emperor Heaven.
After continuous teleportation, Long Chen found that the cities he passed were growing larger, more prosperous, and more lively.
"Buzz"
When the teleportation array lit up and an ancient city soaring into the clouds appeared before Long Chen's eyes, even though he was well-traveled and knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene before him.
Mo Nian looked ahead at the unimaginably magnificent city. Although this wasn't his first time here, every time he saw it from here, it was so awe-inspiring.
"This is one of the three largest cities in the Imperial Celestial Clan's territory—Demon-Subduing City."
