Long Chen nodded and said, "If what you say is true, big brother, and it's really Fang Tianyin's doing, then I have a solution." "
What way?" Can you be more specific? At this moment, Xing Wujiang was so excited that even his voice trembled.
Xing Wujiang feared no death, but there was one thing that caused him immense pain, even fear—leaving him without an heir.
As a direct bloodline of the Xing family, if it were severed in his generation, he would be a criminal of the Xing family. Even in death, he would have no face to face his ancestors.
So, even though Long Chen said he had a way, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Long Chen said, "Big brother's vitality is like a rainbow, his essence is abundant, and nothing unusual can be seen. If he can't have children, then he must be cursed." "
A curse?"
Mo Nian and Xing Wujiang were both shocked. Mo Nian said, "Brother, you're not mistaken, right? I often deal with curses. How come I can't sense the curse on Brother Wujiang?" "
Long Chen shook his head and said, "This curse is different from the curse inside you. Yours is a direct curse, while Big Brother's curse should be an indirect curse."
The Fangtian Seal was originally a legacy artifact of the Xing family. When it was forged, it was always carved with a rune to prevent backlash, in case it would one day harm its master.
Fang Tianyin cannot directly curse Brother Wujiang, so the curse on Wujiang must be the demon leader suppressed by Fang Tianyin.
The demon leader had imprinted the curse on Fangtian Seal, or perhaps he deliberately had the demon leader imprint the curse on himself. As the master of Fangtian Seal, Brother Wujian was the first to bear the brunt of the impact and would be most affected.
If my guess is correct, the other Seal Masters, although not as severely affected as Brother Wujiang, will certainly be affected to some extent. "
Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right."
Xing Wujiang slapped his thigh in excitement. The four city guardians were just like him—their collateral bloodlines were unaffected, but the direct bloodline was clearly slow to reproduce.
The simplest example is Cao Shaoqing. By Cao Shaoqing's generation, there were only seven direct bloodline members in total. It's important to note that such a large family could have thousands or tens of thousands in a generation.
This is also why, despite Cao Shaoqing's extraordinary talent and various divine powers, once he starts fighting, he acts like an idiot and has no strength to fight back against Long Chen.
It was precisely because there were so few direct disciples that they didn't dare to let them take risks. One wrong move and the breed could be extinct. So, Long Chen killed Cao Shaoqing, and Cao Guofeng went mad.
In reality, it wasn't just Cao Guofeng—even the Zichen Sect, Huangquan Pavilion, and Tianxin Hall were no better. They just thought there was something wrong with their cultivation methods and never doubted the Fangtian Seal.
Previously, Xing Wujiang could only trust at most thirty percent of Long Chen's words, but now, with Long Chen saying this, his trust in Long Chen instantly rose to ninety percent. Long Chen was spot on.
"Wow, this Fangtian Seal is way too ruthless!" Mo Nian couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Actually, that's normal. Let's put ourselves in their shoes: if we are always controlled by others, with no freedom or rights, and life and death hanging by someone else's mind, can we tolerate it?" Long Chen said.
"Alright, your perspective on problems is always so novel." Mo Nian shrugged.
"You mean you want me to sever ties with Fang Tianyin?" Xing Wujiang's expression suddenly changed.
If he were to sever the connection with the Fangtian Seal, the remaining four seals would be completely unable to control the Fangtian Seal. The Fangtian Seal would instantly break free from its restraints, leaving it lawless.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Cutting ties does do lift the curse, but how could I embarrass myself with such a lousy idea?" Hearing
Long Chen say this, Xing Wujiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Chen said, "Before I entered Emperor Heaven, I obtained a divine medicine called the Great Sun Divine Sunflower... "
Damn ...it
." At the
mention of the Great Sun Divine Sunflower both Mo Nian and Xing Wujiang were shocked. Clearly, they had both heard of the Great Sun Divine Sunflower, and Xing Wujiang's face was filled with wild joy.
Ever since Xing Wujiang had been childless for many years, he had been searching the world for this legendary divine herb. However, the Great Sun Divine Sunflower had already disappeared in Emperor Heaven, not even the Brahma Pill Valley.
For countless years, Xing Wujiang had spent vast amounts of manpower and resources, seeking all kinds of pill recipes, and having taken countless divine medicines, but none of them worked. Yet the Great Sun Divine Sunflower never even showed a trace. Now, when Long Chen mentioned the Great Sun Divine Sun, Xing Wujiang's eyes were filled with wild joy.
The Great Sun Divine Sunflower is a peerless divine herb. At first, Long Chen didn't think it was particularly miraculous; he always believed that the strongest divine herb would only grow in the highest dimensions.
Not much. When he arrived at Emperor Tianlongchen, he realized that some divine medicines were not available in Emperor Tian, and due to the limitations of laws, Emperor Heaven generally had weaker fertility.
At that moment, Long Chen immediately realized that the Great Sun Divine Sunflower in his hand was about to achieve great things.
Long Chen took out a delicate box and handed it to Xing Wujiang, saying, "Brother Wujiang, this is the Divine Sunflower Yantian Pill I refined. You can eat one... "
Brother, I can't thank you for such a great favor!" Before Long Chen could finish, Xing Wujiang took the pill and said,
"Excuse me for a moment."
As he spoke, Xing Wujiang left. Long Chen and Mo Nian exchanged a glance, both speechless.
"Isn't this way too impatient?" Mo Nian couldn't help but say.
"Maybe it's because we're not that old, or maybe it's something that's lost and recovered is why we cherish it so much." Long Chen shrugged and said.
"Heh heh, no matter what, we helped Brother Wujiang, and we helped ourselves too. This time, it looks like I, Mo Nian, am about to show my skills." Mo Nian chuckled and said confidently.
"This time, you won't fail again, will you?" Long Chen said seriously. Last time, Mo Nian was really badly injured.
"How could this be? I absolutely won't make the same mistake twice. Well, since there's no one else here, I'll work with you to study the treasure hunt plan.
There are two treasure sites on Tianmu Mountain. Last time, I only managed to see one, but due to time constraints, I have to go collect the demon corpse and the Arrow of the Imperial Path.
Go to another treasure site. I'll draw a sketch for you first. It's not entirely accurate, but it can serve as a reference..." Mo Nian said as she began to draw, while also giving Long Chen some precautions.
"Wow, this is way too complicated. I can't remember everything one by one. How about I wait until your side is over and then we all meet up here?" Long Chen hadn't expected that the place Mo Nian sent him to was also a large tomb.
Long Chen had no experience in this area, and he didn't like this kind of treasure hunting. He knew his luck was bad. If he didn't find the treasure and fell into a life-or-death trap, that would be a disaster.
Mo Nian said, "I'm afraid there won't be enough time. The key is for Brother Wujian. I need to collect that demon corpse first, so it will probably take a long time."
How about this: you try it first. If it doesn't work, just look around and see if there are other treasures to dig up.
Anyway, once Tianmu Mountain opens, countless surrounding forces will swarm in. If you can't find any treasure, just grab some of it. Once I'm done here, I'll go to that place. "
How about I go?"To collect your body? Long Chen said.
"Pah, pah, what are you talking about?" Mo Nian was speechless.
"Slip of the tongue. I meant I helped you collect the body, but that doesn't seem right. That's exactly what I meant, as long as you understand." Long Chen said helplessly.
Mo Nian shook his head and said, "No need. There are too many treasures in Tianmu Mountain. It's a battlefield, buried with countless things."
If you come with me, I'll just get the treasure myself—how embarrassing would that be? If you say split with you, I feel bad; if I don't, it's just too painful. "
Alright, it's settled then!" Long Chen couldn't be bothered to scheme with him anymore. Since this guy was confident, he might as well act alone.
After finishing their studies, the two walked straight out of the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as they stepped out the door, they saw the four elders of the Yuling Clan waiting. Long Chen and Mo Nian were both moved and embarrassed, so they returned to the Yuling Clan to rest together.
Three days later, Xing Wujiang came to visit. Upon seeing the two, he immediately beamed with spirit:
"Everything is settled."
