Chapter 561: 561

Countless runes condensed in the air, surrounding that woman . The void trembled in a rhythmic cadence .

Shes actually a Celestial!

Long Chen was now too familiar with this manifestation, because in that instant, he felt the will of the Heavenly Daos expel him .

He sensed the world immediately become inharmonious with him . He was isolated and also suppressed by some kind of energy, making it so he couldnt absorb more spiritual qi .

This was a Celestials manifestation: the Cry of the Heavenly Daos . It was a very resounding, very arrogant name . But Long Chen was filled with hate and killing intent towards this manifestation .

The instant she activated her manifestation, all the Mo familys experts pupils shrank . Although they had known she was a Celestial, the Cry of the Heavenly Daos was rarely seen .

Furthermore, even if you saw this manifestation a hundred times, you would still be incomparably shocked . This represented the will of the Heavenly Daos, something no one could resist .

This was why Celestials were termed the top heavenly geniuses of this world . Under that Heavenly Dao suppression, even Xiantian experts would have to lower their heads .

Mo Nian clenched his fists tightly . If it werent for this manifestation, he wouldnt need to be afraid of her . If he could just defeat her, then he would be completely free . What he said would be what counted . But before he could defeat this fiance of his, he would have to listen to her .

BOOM!

The ground beneath Long Chen emitted an explosive sound . The strength behind her palm multiplied, and it was like a mountain trying to crush Long Chen .

Long Chen instantly sank into an inferior position, the ground beneath him crumbling . Her power had explosively increased, while his own was being reduced .

Lets stop . Dont play this kind of nonsensical game, sighed Long Chen .

Admit defeat . You arent a Celestial, and theres no way you are my match, she advised .

Let me say it again, lets stop playing this nonsensical game . You arent able to suppress me, said Long Chen icily .

Long Chens expression was dark, and his eyes shone coldly . A dense killing intent was surfacing out of his heart .

He was currently doing his best to suppress that killing intent . That killing intent wasnt towards this woman but towards the Cry of the Heavenly Daos .

After entering the Meridian Opening realm, Long Chens primal chaos bead had become stronger and endless energy filled him . He felt as if his own blood was boiling .

He knew this was the involuntary reaction of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art towards the Cry of the Heavenly Daos . It felt an intense desire to destroy it, which caused Long Chen to feel an urge to kill this woman .

But this woman wasnt really an enemy . In fact, she was Mo Nians fiance, so there was no way he could kill her . That was why he was giving her a warning .

However, she didnt notice the situation, causing him to feel anger . As soon as he got angry, the killing intent became even stronger .

Did you hear me?! I said stop!

Long Chen suddenly roared and killing intent surged out of him . This terrifying killing intent caused the world to shiver .

His roar was like thunder, and he seemed like a devil as he stood there . That killing intent grew stronger and stronger, and the Mo familys experts that were spectating all felt their hearts turn cold .

It was as if Long Chen had transformed into a bloodthirsty monster that might go berserk at any moment . That intense feeling of danger caused their hair to stand on end .

You! That woman also sensed it . A terrifying energy was on the verge of erupting from Long Chens body . However, she had no intentions of retreating .

BANG!

Suddenly, a gentle force appeared between their hands, and the two of them were immediately blown back dozens of meters .

Gate master!

The woman turned her head to see Mo Yi had already stood up . It was he who had separated the two of them .

Zongying, let this competition go as a draw . Were all one family, so theres no need to go all-out . Long Chen didnt win, and you didnt lose . The matters between you and Mo Nian should be resolved between the two of you . Let me say the same thing again, whoever is stronger has the bigger voice . Mo Yi smiled towards her .

Ill listen to gate masters instructions . She hastily bowed . Evidently, she was extremely respectful towards Mo Yi .

Once she put away her manifestation, Long Chen gradually returned to normal . Even he didnt know why his reaction towards this manifestation of the Heavenly Daos had become so intense after advancing to Meridian Opening .

Back when he had faced Yin Wushang, all he had felt was rejection . But now, he had almost been unable to suppress his own emotions . That killing intent and hate was uncontrollable .

Dont be angry, Long Chen . Our Mo familys people all have this kind of temperament . We also dont treat you like an outsider now that youre here . A battle between youngsters isnt some bad thing . Here, let me give you an introduction . This is Mo Nians fiance, Liu Zongying . Seeing that Long Chens expression was still a bit gloomy, he thought Long Chen might still hold some ill-feelings towards her, so he opened his mouth .

Hey, you couldnt actually be angry, right? For a man to be so petty, getting angry just because he couldnt win, that would be too unmanly . But if you really are angry, I will apologize to you, said Liu Zongying magnanimously, extending a hand towards him .

Long Chen smiled bitterly inside . Why did it seem like she wanted him to say he wasnt a man? He wasnt actually angry, but just now, he had almost gone berserk .

If he really did go berserk and go all-out, that would cause a huge disturbance . If Liu Zongying was an enemy, then fine, but the main problem was that she wasnt .

Now that she had extended her hand so heroically, he couldn't help sighing emotionally . Mo Nian really was lucky to run into such a top grade person .

No need for an apology . Im not so petty . I suppose its as the expression goes, you cant make friends without fighting . Long Chen also extended his hand .

Originally, he had just been intending on having a gentle shake with her to express that any of their grievances ended here . He hadnt expected her hand to tightly clench his . He felt as if his hand was caught in an iron loop .

Long Chen immediately felt an urge to laugh . This woman really was peak grade . Even at this time, she didnt give up a chance to compete .

But it went without saying that Liu Zongyings strength was incredible . Let alone another woman, even a male Xiantian expert who spent years bitterly training his physical body wouldnt necessarily be stronger than her .

If it was just physical strength, Long Chen wouldnt fear anyone . No matter how Liu Zongying tried, Long Chen just smiled calmly . What kind of joke was that? His body had been tempered by heavenly tribulation . Within the same realm, the only one who could make him feel pain in this way was probably Wilde .

If you keep holding my hand like that, Mo Nian will get jealous, said Long Chen bashfully .

Ah, no, no, I wont get jealous . You can keep holding it for a while . Mo Nian laughed .

Of course, he wouldnt be jealous . Just from Liu Zongyings posture, he knew what was going on . His bones had already been crushed several times now . He really was not the slightest bit jealous .

Alright, Zongying, why have you suddenly come here? Mo Yunshan finally interjected to defuse the situation .

Uncle Mo, my father wanted me to give you a letter . Here . Only now did Liu Zongying remember her proper business and hand over a letter .

Mo Yunshan read that letter and smiled coldly . He then handed it to Mo Yi . Mo Yi didnt have any expression upon reading it . There are always people who like to join in on the fun . But thats not always a bad thing!

Zongying, if you have nothing else to do, you should live here for a few days . With Mo Nian and Long Chen present, youll have some playmates, said Mo Yunshan .

Hearing that, Mo Nians expression instantly changed . If he was able to defeat this father of his, he would have long since attacked . Wasnt he trying to harm him now?

I still have one more matter to take care of . Once I finish it, Ill come back to find Mo Nian . Gate master, Uncle Mo, Ill take my leave first . Liu Zongying bowed towards Mo Yi and Mo Yunshan .

Afterward, she walked over to Mo Nian . You better listen to me . Unless your strength surpasses mine, dont even think about being fickle hearted and getting multiple wives .

Liu Zongying left just like that . She was extremely direct and straightforward .

Once Liu Zongying left, Mo Yi told Long Chen and Mo Nian to stay inside for a few days . They were about to attempt to attain the ancestral inheritance . They had to maintain their peak state .

Then the others left, and it was only Long Chen and Mo Nian . Long Chen looked at Mo Nian, not saying anything, merely laughing mischievously .

Mo Nian was a bit scared of Long Chens laughter . He awkwardly said, Well, now youve seen my future wife . So that means I really treat you like a real brother

Tch . Tell me, did you do this intentionally or not? You wanted me to be your shield? raged Long Chen . As soon as Mo Nian had left, Liu Zongying had arrived . That was definitely a trap .

I swear, I had no idea she would come . Otherwise, no matter what, I definitely wouldnt con you! I really went to get the wine . But when I returned, I saw her and then well, you know, said Mo Nian .

Mo Nian, are you even a man? Dont you feel its embarrassing to be this afraid of your woman? said Long Chen .

Please, you dont even understand my struggles . Would you like to try having such a valiant woman? Our arranged marriage was set when I was just six years old . She has bullied me for twelve whole years, and I havent had the slightest chance to reverse the scales! cried Mo Nian helplessly .

You were actually childhood friends? asked Long Chen .

Childhood friends?! As if! When she was ten, she awakened as a Celestial . My talent was never able to compare to hers . More importantly, my Mo familys cultivation technique focuses on offense, not defense . Its not like I can really attack her mercilessly Cough, well, the main point is that even if I did, I wouldnt be able to beat her . Each time, I can only be bullied by her . So, I want to switch to a more gentle woman .

But youve also seen just how difficult it is to achieve such a grand dream! Right now, my only hope is the ancestral inheritance! If I can obtain that inheritance, there will still be a chance I can reverse the tides . But if I fail, then just thinking about those dark days will make me want to kill myself, said Mo Nian bitterly .

This was Long Chens first time feeling a trace of sympathy for Mo Nian . His grievance faded a great deal . He supposed it really was difficult for a man to live this way .

Its alright, dont cry . Lets go find a place to taste your old mans fine wine . Then Ill help you refine pills in preparation for the inheritance .

Long Chen and Mo Nian switched locations . They chatted as they drank, and only then did Long Chen learn that the Mo family and the Liu family were old friends . However, it seemed that since the Mo family declined, the differences between the two had only grown .

As for the specifics, Mo Nian didnt know . Only the higher-ups of the family knew, and they all kept their mouths tightly sealed .

After resting for a bit, Long Chen had Mo Nian keep watch as he began refining . As a result, when he refined a furnace of pills in front of him, Mo Nian became dumbfounded .
