Long Chen had been immobilized by the terrifying pressure. Furious, he was about to summon the Qiankun Cauldron, refusing to believe the Heavenly Seal could surpass the Cauldron.
Even though the Qiankun Cauldron was still weak, he was confident he could rely on its divine power to break free from the suppression of the Fangtian Seal.
Long Chen was furious because he hadn't expected Gao Jianli to also participate in the suppression. This guy had used him and even wanted to kill him.
However, before Long Chen could act, Xing Wujiang made his move. The golden seal in Xing Wujiang's hand was identical to that of Gao Jianli and the others, but not golden—it was a noble purple-gold color.
As soon as this seal appeared, the three bodies trembled violently, and the pressure on Long Chen instantly vanished, regaining his freedom.
When Xing Wujiang made his move, Long Chen and Mo Nian both stopped moving, but Gao Jianli and the others' expressions changed. Cao Guofeng shouted harshly, "
Xing Wujiang, as the city lord, how dare you act out of favoritism and corrupt the rules of Fumo City?"
"Long Chen maliciously sabotaged the Nebula Arena and extracted the Demon Saint runes. Eight or nine times out of ten, he's a spy for the demon clan. Aren't you afraid of being punished by Fangtian Seal for doing this?" The Hall Master of Tianxin Hall shouted equally fiercely.
"Damn, the head of Lingxiao Academy is a demon spy?" When you lie to me, can't you use your brain? Mo Nian couldn't help but curse.
The Hall Master of Tianxin Hall was instantly at a loss for words. She spoke without thinking, and Mo Nian immediately caught her with a weakness. But since she had already spoken and couldn't be taken back, she still forced herself to say:
"So what?" The demon clan is everywhere—who can guarantee he's not a spy? Mo
Nian was about to retort, but Xing Wujiang snorted coldly, "I am the city lord, and I have the authority to deal with Long Chen. If you disagree, you can appeal to Fang Tianyin, who is in seclusion."
However, there's one thing I want to remind you: no matter how covetous you are for my position, before you become city lords, don't shout at me. Otherwise, if I lose my temper, even Fangtian Seal won't be able to protect you." "
You..."
Xing Wujiang looked as if he was determined to guarantee Long Chen, which shocked and angered Cao Guofeng. If Xing Wujiang wanted to protect Long Chen, they really had no way to do anything.
Although they had heard before that Xing Wujiang was having health problems, at this moment they showed no sign of anything unusual. Xing Wujiang had no children, and the future position of city lord would inevitably have to be handed over. However, if he pushed Xing Wujiang too far, he might truly do something irrational, and they dared not push him too hard.
"Can the city lord break the rules at will? Although you are the city lord, the rules of Demon-Subduing City were not made by you. If you want to change the rules, have you ever asked your ancestors? At
that moment, a calm voice rang out, and then more than a dozen figures appeared on the arena at once.
As soon as these people appeared, the temperature in the arena rose rapidly, as if inside a furnace. All the strong fighters present were shocked.
When Long Chen saw these people, he was startled. They wore splendid robes, with a cinnabar cauldron painted on their chest, and above the cauldron was a golden core like the rising sun.
The collars, cuffs, and belts of these people's clothes were all painted with golden flame patterns. These designs were not ordinary but terrifying runes.
Although Long Chen was well-traveled, this was the first time he had seen runes that could be engraved on silk clothing.
The stronger the rune, the more powerful the carrier required; otherwise, it simply cannot withstand it. Ordinary runes can only be engraved on weapons, armor, or other metal objects, or on the bones of the strong. At worst, they must be engraved on animal hide, which is often the limit of the rune's endurance.
Yet these people's clothes could bear runes, and they were terrifyingly so, indicating that the material of their clothes was astonishing.
"Brahma Heaven Pill Valley?"
When she saw these people appear, Chief Yu Luo's pupils contracted. She hadn't expected that the sixteen Heavenly Saints from Brahma Pill Valley would suddenly descend upon Demon-Subduing City, and judging by their demeanor, it seemed they were specifically targeting Xing Wujiang.
Xing Wujiang was also very surprised to see these Dan Valley experts. He snorted coldly and said,
"My Demon-Subduing City and Brahma Heaven Dan Valley have always kept to themselves. What do you mean by your sudden appearance?" Are you trying to interfere in the battle for the lord of my Demon-Subduing City? Among
the powerful figures of Brahma Pill Valley, a tall, fair-faced middle-aged man shook his head and said,
"Let me introduce myself. I come from the Fire God Hall of Brahma Pill Valley, surname Jiang Yizhou, serving in the Blood Division of the Palace Guard, specializing in handling some troubles for the valley."
We have no interest in your city lord position. We received news from Sect Master Gao Jianli and came specifically to capture Long Chen. Jiang
Yizhou's words from Brahma Pill Valley immediately drew everyone's attention to Gao Jianli, who was furious.
He had already agreed that Brahma Pill Valley would help keep it secret, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yizhou revealed it in front of everyone, making everyone know he was a snitch.
"Sect Master... Lu
Ziqiong and Lu Ziyu stared at Gao Jianli in shock, completely stunned.
Gao Jianli said, "Long Chen is a wanted criminal in Dan Valley. Our Zichen Sect has always relied heavily on their pills and has no way to repay him. Helping to hunt a criminal is just a small favor, nothing to worry about." Gao
Jianli's words ignited Long Chen's anger, and he said coldly,
"If a person had a whole face, they would never say such shameless things. If you want to flatter the foul foot of Brahma Pill Valley, aren't you afraid your Zichen Sect will be destroyed because of it?"
Long Chen's words instantly made the veins on Gao Jianli's forehead bulge. It had to be said, Long Chen's words were too powerful, striking straight at Gao Jianli's wound.
Half of Gao Jianli's face was lost during a fierce battle when a terrifying monster clawed off half of his face. Countless years passed, and despite all his efforts, he could not restore it. This was the pain of his entire life.
Anyone who dared to joke about his shortcomings would be cruelly killed by him. Even if it was gossip behind his back or even the strange look in his eyes, it would make him hold a grudge. Even if he didn't personally take action, he would order his men to kill them.
In fact, Gao Jianli only needed to create a mask to cover up this flaw, but he chose not to. He wanted others to recognize him, but he also feared being mocked—a contradiction that could not be suppressed.
Now, the "intact skin" Long Chen mentioned was like tearing open his wounds—and doing so in front of everyone in Fumo City. The murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Damn little bastard, you'll pay a heavy price for your foul mouth." Gao Jianli said with a sinister expression.
"Before I pay the price, I'll chop off your head first."
Long Chen's anger boiled instantly. He absolutely would not allow anyone to insult his parents. With the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in hand, he swung his blade down at Gao Jianli.
