Chapter 5170 Short Lived Ghost

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

BOOM!

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest broke through space, causing the surrounding area to quiver before it vanished again. When it reappeared, it had already undergone seventeen spatial transportations. At this point, even Mo Nian had no idea how far they had traveled from the Glacial Heaven Domain.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest stopped in a wasteland. The moment it appeared, all the surrounding birds and beasts fled for their lives, their low growls and warning cries echoing through the area as they sensed the powerful aura of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

“My god, I thought we were dead several times already.” Hu Xiaoyu said, patting her chest with a deep sigh of relief.

The others felt the same, especially those who had entered the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. Having narrowly escaped death several times, they were utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. They felt like they were about to collapse.

“Mo Nian, that was incredible. I’ve never heard of a talisman capable of transporting a Ten Thousand Dragon Nest through space,” praised Bai Yingxuan.

She was truly amazed by Long Chen and Mo Nian. The two of them were not just incredibly powerful, but they also had endless aces up their sleeves. All of a sudden, she felt like she had grown old. The world indeed belonged to the new generation.

“I admit that some people might be stronger than me in combat, but I refuse to admit they can outrun me,” said Mo Nian proudly.

However, the next moment his face twisted with pain, and he howled, “My puppet, your death was unjust! How could you leave me like this…!”

Mo Nian stamped his feet, with tears leaking out of his eyes, leaving people speechless. They couldn’t tell if he was just acting or really hurt.

In truth, Mo Nian was truly aggrieved. He had already imagined how he would dominate the world with a Human Emperor puppet. Just who could stop him then?

To walk around with a Human Emperor guarding him—just how grand, how domineering would that be? But those dreams were now shattered.

The puppet hadn’t even had a chance to fully mature before he was forced to use it. He hadn’t even managed to activate all its original runes before it was destroyed.

“It’s all your fault!” blamed Mo Nian, pointing accusingly at Long Chen.

Long Chen was in the midst of examining his internal injuries when Mo Nian accused him. He couldn’t help but ask, “What does it have to do with me?”

“It’s all the fault of your stupid luck! You even dragged me down with you! Think about it, I completely suppressed those so-called heavenly geniuses all by myself. I was in full control—just imagine how mighty I looked! But then those devil creatures suddenly appeared out of nowhere, when it should have been impossible! That’s clearly your bad luck rubbing off on me! And my puppet? It was properly hidden, waiting to be turned into a Human Emperor fighter, but thanks to you, it got destroyed in the Glacial Heaven Domain. Remember, you owe me a Human Emperor fighter! Brothers or not, debts have to be settled! Don’t forget to pay me back!” Toward the end, Mo Nian decided to be a complete scoundrel.

Long Chen was speechless and looked at Mo Nian scornfully. He remarked, “If you had left earlier and not dragged out Lu Fan, we would have escaped nicely. You’re the one who delayed us, resulting in us being caught. So, if anyone’s to blame, it’s you.”

“That’s right, I still have a hostage!” Mo Nian slapped his leg and cried out, “I can definitely get some stuff out of Pill Valley! Perhaps it can make up for my losses!”

Mo Nian immediately ran over to check on Lu Fan, only to wail, “You stupid child, how could you be so short-lived?! When did you die!?”

Long Chen and the others were startled and quickly looked over at Lu Fan. He was pale, his eyes dim, and he gave off no aura of life. Most importantly, the flame of his soul had been extinguished.

“Child, wake up! You can’t die! If you die, I’ll have lost everything!” Mo Nian desperately tried to resuscitate Lu Fan, using various methods, but it was all in vain. Lu Fan was well and truly dead.

“Aren’t you a mighty son of Brahma?! Wake up!” Mo Nian furiously shook him, unwilling to give up.

Long Chen and the others were speechless. If outsiders saw this scene, witnessing how much Mo Nian seemed to care about Lu Fan, they might think those two were family.

“Most likely, when that lifeform erupted its Emperor might, it shook Lu Fan’s soul. We didn’t notice it at the time,” sighed an elder of the white dragon race.

Back then, Mo Nian had tossed Lu Fan to one of the white dragon race’s disciples. At that time, Lu Fan was barely clinging to life. When that lifeform emitted its Emperor might, everyone else circulated their energy to defend, but they forgot to protect Lu Fan.

It was at that time that the fire of Lu Fan’s soul, which was flickering on its last embers, was fully extinguished. In truth, it wasn’t fair to blame that disciple. After all, Lu Fan was a son of Brahma, someone backed by the full support of Lord Brahma’s karmic luck. How could he die so easily? And yet… he did.

Mo Nian’s hostage plan instantly fell through. Thinking of how he had lost his puppet for this fellow, only to end up with nothing, Mo Nian cried out in frustration. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

“No matter how you put it, you owe me a puppet!” declared Mo Nian.

“Based on what?” demanded Long Chen.

“Based on the fact that we’re brothers! I’m feeling bad, and I need some comfort!” said Mo Nian frankly.

“Fine, then I’ll say that I was influenced by you. You often fail at showing off, and you made me fail this time. I just said something so arrogant, and then something unexpected happened, throwing me off immediately after. Don’t you think that it’s your fault?” said Long Chen, directly blaming Mo Nian for his failure at summoning the Eight Star Battle Armor.

“How shameless! How can you blame that on me?!” demanded Mo Nian speechlessly.

“You say that I have no shame? I cannot imagine just how much courage it takes to say something so shameless.” Long Chen shook his head, exasperated.

Watching Mo Nian and Long Chen argue, everyone else couldn’t help but find it funny. Their banter clearly showed the bond between them.

“Alright, although my losses were huge this time, since we fulfilled the promise we had made in Devil Fall City, it was worth it,” said Mo Nian seriously.

.

Back then, they had sworn to make the Brahma Pill Valley pay for Xing Wujiang’s death, and they had done it, ruining the whole Glacial Heaven Domain. Taking down a half-step Human Emperor should be enough to comfort Xing Wujiang’s soul.

But as soon as they thought of Xing Wujiang, Long Chen and Mo Nian’s expressions turned somber. They had made the Brahma Pill Valley pay an immense price, but so what? Xing Wujiang still wouldn’t come back.

“Long Chen, are you interested in coming with us to the Dragon Domain? The Dragon Domain is in disorder at the moment. I wish someone could unify the various branches of the dragon race.” Bai Yingxuan stepped forward, looking at Long Chen hopefully.

The white dragon race’s disciples instantly grew excited, their eyes lighting up with hope as they looked at Long Chen.
