Demon-Subduing City is vast and boundless; as far as the eye can see, it is only the tip of the iceberg. Even though the teleportation array is tens of thousands of miles away from the city, it is no longer possible to see its full form.
Before Long Chen and Mo Nian could step out of the teleportation array, a gentle force pushed them out. It turned out that another group of people had appeared inside the array.
The teleportation array flickered continuously, and with each flash, a large crowd surged out. Clearly, there were far too many people coming to Fumo City—within a single breath, several waves were teleported over.
Most of these people were just like Long Chen. When they saw the grand Demon-Subduing City before them, they were all utterly stunned, utterly shocked by the city.
Demon-Subduing City towered into the clouds, its walls towering like a giant seal embedded in the earth. When Long Chen's gaze shifted from the city walls to the base, he couldn't help but gasp.
Beneath the ancient city was a massive head, so large it was unimaginable. Half of the head was buried in the earth, half embedded within the city, its full outline unrecognizable. The two gates stretched thousands of miles away—these were its eye sockets.
Even though Long Chen was brave, seeing this scene made his heart tremble. He said in disbelief, "
It's actually still alive?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have used the Fangtian Seal to suppress it. Let me tell you, that Fangtian Seal is a super terrifying artifact. If it weren't suppressing this demon's head, to be honest, I'd really want to try stealing it." Mo Nian looked at Fumo City, his eyes burning with passion.
The Fangtian Seal is this ancient city—a divine artifact of astonishing origin. Its exact history is lost, and legend says it is the life-bound divine weapon of a terrifying mighty being from the Chaos Era.
During the chaos war, the Fangtian Seal and its master fought fiercely against an Outer Heavenly Demon, ultimately perishing together. However, the Outer Demon was terrifying; although only its head remained, its soul remained intact. If given a chance, it could revive.
The Fangtian Seal and its owner sealed it together. The battle between the two sides had continued from the chaotic era until now, with no clear winner. The Fangtian Seal remained, and the demon from beyond the heavens was not destroyed. Looking into those eyes, Long Chen instantly felt an extremely evil and bloodthirsty resentment.
"This Demon-Subduing City is also called Fangtian Demon-Subduing City. This is the City of Forbidden Demons. Anyone with demon blood running through their veins will be killed by the Fangtian Seal as soon as they approach the city. Let's go—there's something even more shocking." Mo Nian explained.
By now, the area was packed with people, making it hard for the two to stay where they were. As the crowd surged, they drifted along and slowly walked toward the city gate.
There were two city gates: one was easy to enter and exit, but the other gate only allowed entry and exit, and there was a long queue. Mo Nian chose the gate with the long queue.
"Why not take the open one?" Long Chen asked.
"I can go through that door, but you can't." Mo Nian said proudly.
"What do you mean?" Long Chen asked.
"Only handsome people can walk through that door. With my handsome and elegant looks, of course that's no problem. But you, although you're decently good-looking, you're not handsome enough to be seen by face to come and go." Mo Nian said seriously.
Long Chen glanced sideways at Mo Nian, about to mock him, when a snicker came from nearby. Long Chen turned his head and saw two women behind him, dressed in fine attire, carrying longbows.
These two women were tall and beautiful, their tight outfits fully displaying their exquisite curves. They stood right behind them, and Long Chen was so absorbed in experiencing the shock of Fumo City that he didn't notice these two beautiful women.
The power of destiny fluctuated extremely strongly on these two women. Although they deliberately concealed their exact Destiny level and couldn't tell what level of Destiny Holders they were, according to Long Chen's estimation, they should be no less than seven stars.
Moreover, their pupils were quite different from ordinary people's, with a faintly visible 'cross' crossing pattern in their pupils—a kind of eye technique that Long Chen had seen before. This technique was used for precise aiming, and since they carried longbows on their backs, it was clear their archery skills must be truly astonishing.
Seeing Long Chen and Mo Nian look at them, the two women showed no shyness. One of them spoke very graciously, "
Friend, don't listen to your buddy's nonsense. You're much more handsome than him. Well, at least that's what we sisters think."
Long Chen immediately laughed. It had been a long time since he'd met such an interesting person, and these two women showed no guarding against them—they could say whatever they wanted, looking so relaxed.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's with your looks? I'm obviously much more handsome than him, okay? Do you believe I can go straight through that door? How about we make a bet? Let's see, with my handsome face, can I pass by with my face? Mo Nian immediately became a bit annoyed and shouted.
The woman playfully pouted and said, "Stop fooling people. Do you think it's my first time here?" I'm here to pick someone up too. The
woman turned to Long Chen and said, "That city gate is for those with a nameplate to enter and exit freely. First-time visitors need to obtain a demon-subduing nameplate before they can use that gate. This has nothing to do with whether you have a sense of dignity or not." Only
then did Long Chen suddenly understand. He looked at Mo Nian, who was now squinting at the sky, pretending not to hear anything.
Long Chen turned to the woman and said, "No, no, no, it matters. Only someone with thick skin could say something so shameless." When
Long Chen said this, the two women burst into coquettish laughter. Mo Nian couldn't keep up the act anymore and said somewhat regretfully, "
That's boring. I was just joking, why did you expose me?"
"Who told you to say you're more handsome than him?" My mother taught me to be honest. The woman said with a smile.
Mo Nian was speechless for a moment, but didn't know what to say to refute her. Long Chen, worried Mo Nian might be awkward, said, "
We're good brothers, and we're used to joking around. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Long Chen, and this is Mo Nian."
"My name is Yutong, and this is my younger sister, Yufei. It's a pleasure to meet you both." The woman smiled graciously and extended her delicate jade hand toward Long Chen.
Long Chen was stunned; he hadn't expected this woman to shake his hand. After all, this gesture was a bit too intimate.
Long Chen instinctively gently shook the woman's hand. This kind of handshake was rare, but when a man and a woman shake, you can't hold a full one but hold it lightly.
Moreover, you cannot hold the entire palm; you can only lightly grasp the fingertips as a sign of courtesy and respect. If you hold the entire palm, it may seem like taking advantage.
But the woman held Long Chen's entire hand, and the moment both hands were joined, a warm flame suddenly rose in Yutong's palm. Long Chen was stunned—this woman seemed a bit too generous.
After the woman grasped Long Chen's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up with wild joy. She reached out and tightly grabbed Long Chen's arms, startling him with her appearance.
"From now on, we're family!" The woman suddenly became excited.
"Damn, is that okay?"
Mo Nian's mouth dropped open in shock; he couldn't believe his eyes.
