Long Chen and Mo Nian rushed into Demon Subduing City at the first moment, instantly causing countless powerful figures to exclaim in surprise. Clearly, they recognized Long Chen and Mo Nian's identities.
After all, in the battle three days ago, Long Chen and Mo Nian had slain nearly a thousand Heavenly Saint experts, and the Child of Destiny was personally killed by Long Chen. The Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall was even destroyed in a battle, his primordial spirit nearly collapsing.
Now, aside from the four great families, the rest of the city had all moved. After all, losing the Fangtian Seal meant entering a state of death—the city lacked even the most basic defenses, and no one dared stay long. Otherwise, if the monsters attacked, there wouldn't even be a barrier.
In fact, many forces had sensed the danger long ago and began withdrawing before Tianmu Mountain opened. Now, those who have evacuated are basically the last group.
In the battle between Long Chen and Mo Nian in front of Tianmu Mountain, even if the Fire God Hall deliberately sealed it off, it was powerless—after all, far too many people had witnessed that scene.
These people were making their final move, and suddenly saw Long Chen and Mo Nian's figures appear. Some were so shocked that they dropped their belongings to the ground.
"Oh my god, what did I see?"
"It's them, yes, it's them..."
"They're actually still alive..."
For a moment, countless people cried out in shock, because rumors had it that Long Chen and Mo Nian had already been killed by the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall.
Long Chen and Mo Nian ignored the screams and didn't care if others recognized them. They flashed and arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion, only to find the place already a pile of rubble.
At that moment, Long Chen and Mo Nian's hearts sank; the scene they least wanted to see still appeared.
"Rumble...
At that moment, countless powerful auras shot up from all directions. Gao Jianli, Cao Guofeng, the Hall Master of Tianxin Hall, and the Master of the Yellow Springs Pavilion all arrived.
When they looked at Long Chen, their eyes were filled with shock and joy. They led their respective sect experts to tightly surround Long Chen and Mo Nian.
"Kid, you guys are really lucky—you survived?" Gao Jianli looked at Long Chen, his eyes filled with greed.
"You just escaped, but instead of seeking treatment, you came here to check on Xing Wujiang's family. Hehe, you two really are loyal." The Hall Master of Tianxin Hall sneered.
"Truly, if there's a path to heaven, you won't walk it; if there's no way to hell, people come to you. No matter how lucky I am, I can't withstand your torment!" The master of the Yellow Springs Pavilion also chuckled and said.
The four city guardians were also at Tianmu Mountain back then, but they did not participate in the war, because at that time they were engaged in something more important.
"Today, let's see how you die!"
Cao Guofeng sneered and waved his hand.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz"
As Cao Guofeng moved, the others moved as well. Each of them held a golden seal in their hand.
As soon as the great seal appeared, Mo Nian's expression changed:
"The aura of the Fangtian Seal—how is that possible?"
The golden seals in Cao Guofeng and the others' hands carried the aura of the Fangtian Seal. Perhaps its aura was much weaker, but the fluctuations there were absolutely certain.
"Hahaha, that idiot Xing Wujiang wants to destroy the Fangtian Seal. Before the seal was destroyed, he distributed most of its power into our four divine seals. Honestly, we should thank him." The Hall Master of Tianxin Hall laughed heartily, his face wrinkled and trembling, looking both disgusting and terrifying.
It turned out that the reason they hadn't participated in the battle back then was because they were desperately absorbing the power left behind by the Fangtian Seal, which had been destroyed by Xing Wujiang.
But it was unwilling to die just like that. It released most of its power, which was absorbed by the four golden seals. They absorbed not only the energy of the Fangtian Seal but also its will.
Fang Tianyin hoped to preserve his obsession in this way, so that it wouldn't be completely dead.
They focused on absorbing the power of the Fangtian Seal, so they ultimately escaped disaster. However, they were still unconvinced, believing that if they had absorbed the Fangtian Seal's power earlier, they wouldn't have needed the Fire God Hall's Vice Hall Master to easily defeat Long Chen and Mo Nian.
Because according to them, they had absorbed at least about sixty percent of the Fangtian Seal's power, enough to kill any strong opponent.
So Long Chen and Mo Nian charged forward, carrying the lingering force of the battle at Tianmu Mountain, yet they showed no fear. Instead, they were filled with endless surprise, feeling as if Long Chen and Mo Nian had walked right into a trap.
Most importantly, Long Chen and Mo Nian's auras fluctuated unpredictably, clearly still in a severely injured state, making them even more fearless.
"Speak, where are Brother Wujiang's family?" Long Chen roared angrily.
Long Chen wasn't afraid of these golden seals. As long as they dared to use them, he dared to smash them with the Qiankun Cauldron. The Qiankun Cauldron couldn't kill, but damaging such things was no problem.
"We've cut them all to pieces, eradicated them completely, not even spared their newborn babies. What's the matter? Do you want to avenge them? Come on! The Hall Master of Tianxin Hall gave a sinister smile.
"Then you all should die with me!" At that moment, Long Chen's murderous intent surged to the heavens.
"Don't listen to them. Xing Wujiang's family was relocated long ago." Just then, a clear and beautiful voice rang out.
"Chief Yuluo"
Hearing that voice, Long Chen and Mo Nian were instantly overjoyed. Turning to look, they saw Chief Yuluo and the four great guardian elders coming out.
"Thank you, Chief Yuluo!" Hearing Yu Luo's answer, Long Chen finally felt a weight in his heart. He was filled with gratitude toward Yu Luo. Being able to protect Xing Wujiang's family was a way to explain his fate.
"I'm ashamed. In fact, when we rushed back, the Xing family had already withdrawn. It seems the City Lord already knew this trip was perilous and had made all the arrangements." Chief Yuluo said with a look of shame.
Long Chen immediately understood. No wonder Xing Wujiang had been talking about fate and fortune before—he had long anticipated this journey would be a near-death experience.
He tried to resist and fight, but in the end, he couldn't overcome fate. Thinking of this, Long Chen and Mo Nianwu sighed in regret. However, the only comfort was that Xing Wujiang already had a child.
"Shut up! You wretch, go to hell!"
The Hall Master of Tianxin Hall roared. As a goosebump-haired old woman, she hated seeing those beautiful women the most, especially her jealousy toward the Yuluo Clan Leader. At this moment, she finally found an opportunity. The golden seal in her hand shone, and the vast divine might instantly made the entire Demon-Subduing City tremble.
Seeing the Hall Master of Tianxin Hall making a move, Chief Yuluo snorted coldly, formed hand seals, and the phenomenon behind him parted, revealing a towering tree—the Tree God of the Feather Spirit Clan.
Long Chen snorted coldly. He had already agreed on the Qiankun Cauldron: if she dared to unleash the golden seal, Long Chen would use the cauldron to strike it.
The Qiankun Cauldron was not suitable for direct combat, fearing that if it detonated someone's weapon, it would kill them, which would taint the blood soul's death resentment. This would not only seriously affect its pill-refining effectiveness but also slow its recovery speed—something neither it nor Long Chen could accept.
But weapons that are taken out of hand—the Qiankun Cauldron never fears them—Long Chen is waiting for himThe golden seal slipped from his hands, but at that moment, a shocking change occurred.
"Rumble rumble... The
golden seal had been radiating divine power and overwhelming momentum, resembling the pressure of the Fangtian Seal. But after just a moment, a rune of the purple-gold seal appeared on the seal.
"Xing Wujiang"
When they saw the runes on the purple-gold seal, the four city guards exclaimed in unison.
"Crack..."
Amidst their shock, the Golden Great Seal of the Hall Master of Tianxin Hall instantly cracked all over.
"Bang!"
Then it exploded and scattered from her hand.
