Mo Nian's shout startled Long Chen, the Yuluo Clan Chief, and the others; they didn't feel anything at all.
Mo Nian hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me who sensed it, it sensed it." As
Mo Nian spoke, a strange flower appeared in her hand. The flower looked like a sunflower, only about a foot tall, with a stem like a chopstick. The pallet plate was only the size of an egg, and it had no leaves on its entire body, making it look extremely bizarre.
Mo Nian explained to everyone that this was an ancient divine plant unearthed from underground, possessing the ability to sense danger, calculate cause and effect, and predict the future.
However, it was still in its larval stage and limited abilities. Normally, it could only help Mo Nian sense powerful fluctuations for treasure hunting and detecting traps.
It could be said that this was a supreme treasure, especially for Mo Nian, who had spent years walking underground—it was a life-saving treasure.
However, Mo Nian usually wouldn't use this treasure, as it would seriously affect its growth. As for this divine sunflower, which had an astonishing origin, Mo Nian still hadn't figured out how many divine powers it had, so he cherished it exceptionally and rarely used it.
But this time, because he and Long Chen were seriously injured and had to come to rescue Xing Wujiang's family, for safety, he had to use this small Divine Sunflower.
Mo Nian moved the sunflower, only to see its palm plate always facing one direction, which meant the danger was coming from that direction.
"Do you know what level of being the newcomer is?" Chief Yuluo asked.
Mo Nian shook her head: "The little one hasn't grown up yet, and the perception it gives is extremely vague. But the fact that it can issue a danger warning means that once that guy comes, I won't be able to escape." "
Even you can't escape?"
Long Chen was startled. Mo Nian had said his greatest skill was fleeing for his life; fighting was actually his weakness. If even he couldn't escape, the newcomer must be terrifyingly terrifying.
Suddenly, Long Chen had a thought. He remembered that he also had a treasure, and now he had an Amethyst Heavenly Eye in his hand. He looked in the direction Shen Kui had pointed.
Long Chen kept adjusting his direction, and soon he spotted a group of figures galloping at high speed. There were nine people in total, led by a white-bearded elder with a cold and stern expression. As his eyes opened and closed, he could faintly see the flame runes burning.
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Although he couldn't sense his aura, the danger this person posed was even greater than that of the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall.
Long Chen handed the Amethyst Heavenly Eye to Mo Nian for him to examine. However, Long Chen's hand couldn't leave the Amethyst Heavenly Eye; it needed Long Chen's purple blood power to operate.
"It's people from the Fire God Temple!"
Mo Nian exclaimed in surprise.
Chief Yuluo also looked over and said, "He's wearing the Fire God Temple's attire, but his attire is completely different from the Vice Hall Master. However, this person's strength will only surpass that of the Vice Hall Master. Let's hurry and leave!" Long
Chen and Mo Nian nodded. Such terrifying powerhouses—let alone being seriously injured now, even at their peak, wouldn't dare to fight them. That would be no different from courting death.
The reason they were able to defeat the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall was mainly through risky calculations and careful maneuvering, pushing the Vice Hall Master into a desperate situation.
Moreover, the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall never took them seriously. Falling into a trap due to carelessness, one wrong step and never regaining the upper hand, ultimately leading to this fate.
But luck played a significant role in this victory. If it happened again, Long Chen and Mo Nian would definitely die.
"I'm curious, how did they know we were here?" Mo Nian shook his head. Their actions were so secretive, so logically they shouldn't have leaked their whereabouts.
Besides, Demon-Subduing City is now a ruined city. Even if the enemy wanted to intercept him, they might not even consider this place.
Besides, those people in the Fire God Temple are all high and mighty, with eyes fixed on their nostrils, full of utilitarianism. Feelings are completely unnecessary to them.
Putting themselves in others' shoes, they definitely wouldn't believe Long Chen and Mo Nian would risk their lives to rescue the Xing family. Besides, the Xing family members had already been evacuated, so they should have enough time to investigate.
Mo Nian was completely baffled, and Long Chen couldn't figure it out either. Suddenly, Long Chen slapped his thigh:
"I get it."
"Understand what?" Mo Nian said hurriedly.
"Quickly search the residences of the four great city guardians. There will definitely be a breakthrough." Long Chen didn't bother to explain and charged straight toward the Zichen Sect.
Mo Nian didn't ask any questions and immediately charged toward the Ironblood Sect, while Yuluo and the four chief clan protectors charged separately toward the Tianxin Hall and the Yellow Springs Pavilion.
"Boom..."
After Long Chen arrived at Zichen Sect, he began smashing it fiercely. At that moment, the Lu family disciple also ran over. Seeing Long Chen smash the sect to ruins, he was not saddened but instead cheered loudly and laughed heartily. He had already hated this ruthless sect and had no intention of staying any longer.
"Young brother, did anything unusual happen at the Zichen Sect three days ago? Has anyone been here? Long Chen turned the Zichen Sect upside down but found nothing, so he directly asked the Lu family disciple.
"No, really?" The Lu family disciple was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said.
"Could it be that I was wrong?" Long Chen also lost confidence.
"Long Chen, Mo Nian, come over here quickly..."
Just then, a startled cry from the Yuluo clan leader came from afar.
Long Chen immediately dashed out like lightning, heading straight for the Yellow Springs Pavilion. When Long Chen arrived, he saw from afar an altar glowing, with a figure sitting cross-legged atop it.
Mo Nian looked at the figure on the altar and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Old man, what kind of sin have you committed? In the end, it still falls into the hands of us brothers. Heaven's net is vast and nothing escapes, hehe..."
Long Chen rushed forward, his face full of delight. The figure on the altar was none other than the primordial spirit of the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall.
Around the altar were countless corpses. These bodies were not members of the four great city guardian clans, but likely civilians from the city who had not yet been evacuated.
"Using innocent souls to extend his life—killing you is truly not a mistake." Mo Nian looked at the endless corpses around the altar, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
Clearly, all of this was done by the four city guardians. To protect the primordial spirit of the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall, they sacrificed so many civilians.
When Long Chen and Mo Nian arrived, the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall inside the altar also woke from his slumber. The moment he saw Long Chen and Mo Nian, his expression changed, and fear filled his eyes.
However, he forced himself to stay calm and said coldly, "I advise you to pull back before the cliff begins. There's still a chance to turn things around."
If you leave now, I can swear with my soul that I can forgive everything that happened before; otherwise, I would offend the Fire God Temple... Long
Chen and Mo Nian completely ignored him. The two exchanged a glance, and Long Chen asked, "You come, I do?" "
