Chapter 5127 A Good Brother

The flas.h.i.+ng tablet on Long Chen’s waist was his communication tool with Mo Nian. It hadn’t activated at all while Long Chen was in the Glacial Heaven Domain because Mo Nian had known of Long Chen’s arrival. He just wasn’t in a place to respond.

Now that it was flas.h.i.+ng rapidly, it meant that Mo Nian was in mortal danger and needed immediate a.s.sistance. However, with the curse afflicting him, Long Chen was barely able to care for himself, let alone help anyone else.

“You really know how to pick a time!” Long Chen cursed under his breath. Clenching his teeth, he took out a transportation formation disc. After undergoing seven transportations and verifying Mo Nian’s location twice, he spread his lightning wings and rushed over at full speed.

In a secluded cave nestled within a mountain valley, Long Chen finally found Mo Nian. The latter was covered in blood, a rusty sword embedded in his shoulder. Slumping against the stone wall, he looked ashen and lifeless; he had lost consciousness.

Long Chen was shocked to find that the sword stabbing Mo Nian’s shoulder exuded Emperor aura. It was a Human Emperor divine weapon.

Mo Nian’s qi was weak, and his soul’s flame flickered perilously close to extinguis.h.i.+ng. Long Chen jumped in fright and hastily fed him a medicinal pill.

At the same time, he summoned Lei Linger. Mo Nian was enveloped in corpse qi, with curse runes crawling across his body. So, with the aid of the medicinal pill, Lei Linger used her heavenly tribulation energy to begin erasing the curse runes. Gradually, a hint of color returned to Mo Nian’s face.

When Mo Nian opened his eyes and saw Long Chen, he smiled with relief. “To have a brother like you is truly my fortune.”

“To have a brother like you is my life’s curse,” Long Chen replied irritably. “What in the world did you get yourself into this time? If I had arrived any later, you’d be dead.”

“Brother, I’ve uncovered something huge this time. My name is about to make waves across the world,” Mo Nian’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Long Chen yanked the sword out of Mo Nian’s shoulder, causing Mo Nian to grimace in pain. However, Long Chen ignored him. He took out a sharp knife and carefully removed the corroded flesh around Mo Nian’s wound. After applying a medicinal paste, Long Chen wrapped the wound.

After completing the task, Long Chen felt like he would pa.s.s out. Overcome by exhaustion, he sat down, barely able to stay upright.

“You’re injured too?” Mo Nian finally noticed Long Chen’s condition.

“f.u.c.k, I ran into that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lu Fan. We ended up injuring each other,” Long Chen gritted his teeth in frustration.

“Oh? You crossed paths with him as well? That Brahma Divine Diagram of his is truly monstrous. I didn’t have a strong enough weapon to stand up to him, so I had no choice but to run. He chased me for quite a while,” Mo Nian explained.

When Mo Nian entered the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, he knew that the Brahma Pill Valley would send pursuers to chase after him. Since this channel was under their control, Lu Fan would somehow track him down. Instead of fleeing immediately, Mo Nian set up an illusion formation.

Everything went as Mo Nian planned. Just as he set up his trap, Lu Fan appeared. After that, Mo Nian launched a sneak attack, smacking him in the face with his shovel. Lu Fan was so enraged that he directly summoned the Brahma Divine Diagram, shattering the entire area.

Seeing this fellow go insane, Mo Nian directly fled. After all, he didn’t have a weapon that could fight the Brahma Divine Diagram. Lu Fan naturally chased after him.

Due to the Brahma Divine Diagram’s ability to read the lines of fate, Mo Nian’s fleeing techniques were seen through multiple times. He was chased all over and even encountered the devil race, almost dying several times.

The main issue was that he lacked a Human Emperor divine weapon. In the end, he escaped by diving into an underground cavern, escaping the senses of the Brahma Divine Diagram.

However, after entering the cavern and confirming that Lu Fan had left, Mo Nian sensed something amiss. He stealthily emerged and examined his surroundings. To his shock, he discovered a terrifying existence buried beneath him.

Just like that, his tomb raider soul awakened, and he quickly found a natural tomb. This so-called natural tomb was the result of a powerful expert’s death. Their body then absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, transforming the surrounding terrain into a natural burial ground.

When Mo Nian found the master of the tomb, he was shocked to find that it was an immemorial lifeform that had been a Human Emperor in life. Clutched in its hands was a weapon—the Dragon Bone Seven String Bow.

Mo Nian’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight. It was a Human Emperor divine weapon, and an exceedingly terrifying divine bow at that. With such a weapon, why would he have to fear the Brahma Divine Diagram?

In his excitement, all his focus was on the bow, causing him to overlook the presence of a pre-Emperor skeleton nearby.

The skeleton was almost completely buried in the mud, making it nearly invisible. But as Mo Nian got close, it suddenly attacked, stabbing him with its sword and nearly taking his life.

A huge amount of corpse qi and curse energy invaded Mo Nian’s body. He hastily fled in terror, but fortunately, that skeleton didn’t pursue him, which was the only reason he got away alive.

After escaping, Mo Nian had a bad feeling. The curse energy carried the skeleton’s deep resentment from death, and none of his methods were able to halt its invasion. Desperate, he sought Long Chen’s aid. Considering the skeleton was a pre-Emperor, it was no wonder the curse energy was so terrifying.

“Hehe...” Despite his injuries, Mo Nian couldn’t help but laugh as he rubbed the rusty sword in his hand. He was filled with delight.

“I’ve struck gold this time. The next time I encounter Lu Fan, I’ll definitely beat the c.r.a.p out of him,” Mo Nian said with a sinister smile. His last encounter with Lu Fan had left him nursing a grudge.

“This sword’s item-spirit is dead. It’s useless,” said Long Chen, shaking his head.

“Hehe, do you think my years of archaeology were for nothing? Its master stabbed me with this sword, which means that despite it being dead, its soul essence hasn’t fully dissipated. Thanks to that, I can restore this sword to its former glory,” chuckled Mo Nian.

“What? Are you saying you plan on going back?” asked Long Chen.

“Do you have to ask? When have I ever given up on something I’ve set my sights on? I always pick myself up where I stumble,” said Mo Nian solemnly.

“Are you not going to the core of this domain for your breakthrough?” reminded Long Chen.

Shaking his head, Mo Nian said, “The Heavenly Flame tempering isn’t too useful for me. I’ll pa.s.s my tribulation in that natural tomb, and then we can join forces to slaughter Pill Valley’s disciples. It’ll count as comforting big brother Wujiang’s soul.”

“If something else happens to you, I won’t be able to save you, alright?” warned Long Chen.

“What are you talking about? Do you think I’d fall for the same trap twice? Who knows, maybe I’ll be the one saving you next time!” replied Mo Nian.

Long Chen was speechless. Seeing that Mo Nian was fine, Long Chen bade him farewell. He had to get to the core region as quickly as possible. He couldn’t waste a single moment.
