Long Chen and Mo Nian quietly left the academy. Mo Nian took out two Concealment Talismans. The talismans were already yellowed and carried an ancient aura, clearly not modern products. Needless to say, these were dug up by Mo Nian from somewhere.
Mo Nian explained that this kind of Concealment Talisman not only conceals one's aura, but also blocks the perception of heavenly secrets and fortune, allowing the two to avoid the prying eyes of Brahma Pill Valley.
"Bro, I'm not saying you're doing well, are you? Just entered Emperor Heaven, and you're already targeted in all sorts of ways. Killing a man before the Gate of Nine Heavens and leaving corpses everywhere—that's not your style, is it? The two chatted as they walked, and Mo Nian still needed to heal his injuries, so he couldn't walk quickly.
After being cursed, Mo Nian immediately thought of Long Chen. He had originally planned to go to the main campus of Lingxiao Academy to find Long Chen. Fortunately, Long Chen had already arrived in Emperor Heaven. If Long Chen weren't there, Mo Nian didn't know if he could have held out until he saw Long Chen.
After being hit by the curse, Mo Nian sped all the way and heard someone mention Long Chen's name. Upon inquiry, it turned out they were the people targeting Long Chen.
Mo Nian immediately didn't hold back and began soul-searching. Only then did he learn that Long Chen had arrived at Emperor Heaven. After much inquiry, he learned the location of Lingxiao Academy. By the time they arrived at the location, Long Chen and the others had already reached a new base.
Along the way, Mo Nian had been chasing him with great effort, but fortunately, when his body was exhausted, he managed to reach Long Chen.
"You also think that's not my style?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Of course. Back in the day, our brothers roamed the Tianwu Continent, invincible wherever we went, killing anyone who stood in our way, slaying gods in our way—how arrogant we were!
I don't get it. You clearly have the chance to kill ruthlessly, yet you seem to have some reservations, leaving room for maneuver everywhere. This really wasn't your style back then.
I remember you once said that anyone who wants your life, you won't let them go, whether they're good or bad. Mo Nian said.
"Did I ever say that?" Long Chen asked.
"Of course, you forgot about all of it? No matter what kind of good person or bad person you are, it can't take away the full strength of my survival. In this world, the only person who can control my fate is myself. Mo Nian glared and said,
"What's going on?" Have you forgotten all this? You weren't possessed, were you? Hey, hey, hey, let me ask you, where did we first meet? "
Enough, enough nonsense."
Long Chen said irritably, "If I were possessed, I'd risk my life to save you. Why should I?" Just because of your big face? "
That's true."
Mo Nian nodded, then said angrily, "What do you mean by 'my big face'?" This is a handsome and charming big face, okay? Mo
Nian didn't care about anything else, but when someone said his face was big, he was really annoyed—after all, his face was indeed a bit bigger.
"Mo Nian, to be honest with you, I'm trapped by a demon right now." Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
This was Long Chen's secret. He had never told anyone else, but when it came to Mo Nian, he did reveal it. It wasn't that he didn't trust others, but that no one else could help share the burden, which would only make them worry about him.
But Mo Nian was different. Long Chen had absolute trust in Mo Nian, and also felt an inexplicable confidence in him.
"Inner demon?" Mo Nian was startled; he never imagined that someone as strong as Long Chen would also have inner demons.
Long Chen didn't hide anything and told Mo Nian in detail about his entanglements with his inner demons. After finishing, Long Chen felt a sense of relief, as if he had become much more relaxed.
Sometimes, when secrets are bottled up in your heart and you can't share them with others, the pain is something only you truly understand.
"Wow, that guy is that strong?" Mo Nian said in shock.
"He's insanely strong, but I still don't know how his power has increased." Long Chen said with great frustration.
"Oh, I get it!"
Mo Nian looked as if she had suddenly realized: "No wonder you no longer have the sharpness you once did. It's because you've been tormented by inner demons."
Actually, this thing is very simple—why bother with it? If you're destined to be strong, the one troubled should be him.
If you're not strong enough, sooner or later you'll be devoured by him, so worrying is pointless, right?
And the inner demon is just one of your countless enemies. Even if you defeat the inner demon now, can you guarantee every enemy you defeat in the future?
Even if you defeat every enemy, can you guarantee you'll never face death or defeat? Life is like fireworks; we just need to give our all to shine, no matter when it ends. Mo
Nian's words sent a shock through Long Chen's heart. He had said these words before, and at that moment, it was like a sudden enlightenment, and the shackles in his heart were instantly broken.
"Hahaha..." Long Chen laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.
Within the laughter lies self-mockery and comfort. People can persuade others, but not themselves; they understand the truth, but need others' guidance. Perhaps this is why those involved are confused, while bystanders see clearly.
No matter how strong the inner demon is, can it surpass the Great Brahma? Even the Great Brahma cannot afford to fear him, so why can a single inner demon torment him so much pain? What a funny thing that is.
"Talking to you makes me feel much better. Having a brother like you is truly wonderful!" Long Chen patted Mo Nian's shoulder, speaking excitedly.
"Heh, who told us we're the best bad friends? However, your inner demon has piqued my curiosity. If I get the chance, let me see him.
If his personality aligns with mine, I wouldn't mind being brothers with him, hahaha! Mo Nian burst out laughing.
If it had been before, Mo Nian might have been very upset by Long Chen's words, but now that his knot was resolved, he didn't care about the joke at all.
"By the way, when did you arrive here?" Long Chen asked.
Mo Nian counted on his fingers and said, "I can't remember exactly, because most of the time was spent underground. In some places, the flow of time varies, so it's hard to calculate. Anyway, it's just over half a year, less than a year." "
Wow, you really are dedicated." Long Chen was speechless.
"There's nothing you can do. You have to see things through to the end. Love what you do. Once you've chosen, you have to do it to the fullest.
But don't underestimate me. I'm no longer the person I once was. Now, in Emperor Heaven, I'm considered a top figure. Though I can't claim to be a force to dominate, I'm still quite famous. Mo Nian said proudly.
"Buzz."
As the two spoke, Mo Nian suddenly put away the talismans on them and returned from invisibility. It turned out that unknowingly, they had arrived at an ancient city.
As soon as the two appeared, someone at the city gate saw Mo Nian and looked shocked, clearly recognizing him.
"There's nothing I can do. It's hard to keep a low profile these days." Mo Nian shrugged helplessly.
"Mo Nian, you scoundrel with a thousand blades, you wicked bastard, prepare to die!"
But after the man was shocked, his murderous intent soared,Drawing his weapon, he charged at Mo Nian. Long Chen's envious expression instantly turned to shock:
"Is this what you meant by 'fame for a time'?"
