Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5095 Mo Nian Appears

The sight of only a few hundred thousand Pill Valley disciples surprised Long Chen. It seemed implausible that such an influential organization would have so few disciples.

Then it dawned on him: it was another scam. The Heavenly FlDevil Domain was their treasure land, and they could open it whenever they wanted to. Why would they compete with others?

Most likely, the majority of Pill Valley’s disciples had long since entered the Heavenly FlDevil Domain, or they could be advancing to the Eternal realm in better places.

They naturally had to keep the good stuff for themselves. The disciples appearing now were merely for show, a calculated display to ensure people didn’t suspect a trap. If all the disciples had stayed hidden, it might have aroused suspicion and fear.

Amongst those disciples, Long Chen saw a familiar figure: Huo Qianwu. She stood in the third line, her expression icy and tinged with resentment. It was clear she hadn't had an easy tsince Long Chen had bested her and taken her Blaze Dragon Bone Whip and Thousand Phoenix Feather Dress.

In truth, Huo Qianwu was extremely formidable. At the very least, the likes of Ye Lingxiao and Zhao Qingtian couldn’t compare to her. Even after losing those two divine weapons, she couldn’t be underestimated.

Huo Qianwu was now in the third line. While there were many Heavenly Chosens behind her, this still surprised Long Chen.

But what truly caught Long Chen’s attention was the figure at the very front. Adorned with a golden crown and a jade belt, the man in white robes appeared extremely grand. He was surrounded by a shimmering white divine light, giving him an almost godlike presence.

“His aura...” Bai Yingxue stared at that man in shock.

“Yes, it’s Lord Brahma’s aura. This person is probably an important person to the Brahma Pill Valley,” said Long Chen. This man’s aura was identical to that of the Brahma statue, so his status was definitely not ordinary.

At this moment, Han Qianye once more spoke. “Letintroduce everyone. They are the disciples of the Brahma Pill Valley, while this is one of Brahma’s eight divine sons, Lu Fan.”

That man named Lu Fan turned to face everyone and cupped his fists. “Greetings, everyone. I am honored to be favored by Divine Venerate Brahma and inherited the Fan[1] character. In truth, becoming one of the eight divine sons of Brahma was just luck. My ranking is last amongst them. As the weakest of the divine sons, I am hoping to discuss the Dao and learn from everyone this time.”

Keep acting. Long Chen scoffed at him. If this guy raised his nose any higher, he’d be looking at the sky. It was just a scripted act, and his words lacked sincerity. In truth, he looked down on all of them.

Long Chen sneered at Lu Fan’s performance, finding his acting skills terrible. Most likely, someone had forced him into saying these words.

This was the first tLong Chen had heard about the so-called eight divine sons of Brahma. They didn’t seem to be among the three thousand formal disciples of Brahma he was familiar with. Long Chen had encountered the disciples[2] before, but never any divine sons.

From what Long Chen understood, the three thousand disciples of Brahma were ranked by their power. If someone surpassed them in strength, their ranking would be usurped.

Yet, a divine son seemed different. The divine radiance emanating from him was unmistakable, and Long Chen could vaguely discern Lord Brahma’s figure within the flickering light. It was as if Lord Brahma’s power could descend upon Lu Fan at any moment.

Long Chen suddenly had a brazen thought: If I kill him, will I be able to see Lord Brahma?

As Long Chen mulled over this unsettling idea, Han Qianye continued speaking, but Long Chen’s attention was elsewhere. Lu Fan and the other disciples started to bid farewell and walked toward the spatial gate.

“Hold it!”

Suddenly, one of the three-vein Heaven Saints guarding the path stepped forward, blocking Lu Fan’s way. Long Chen’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

“No way!” Long Chen almost couldn’t believe his ears. That elder’s face was covered in wrinkles, and Long Chen didn’t recognize him at all. However, he immediately recognized the voice—Mo Nian’s!

“What’s the matter?” Han Qianye asked, clearly puzzled by the elder’s sudden intervention. Lu Fan frowned, staring at the elder with a mix of confusion and irritation.

“Don’t move!” The elder scrutinized Lu Fan closely, his eyes sharp and assessing. He extended his hand and gently lifted Lu Fan’s chin, as if he had noticed skind of worrisissue.

Lu Fan was startled. Thinking he had something on his face, he lifted his chin obediently.

In front of everyone’s disbelieving eyes, the elder suddenly swung his hand and viciously slapped Lu Fan’s face. The force of the blow sent Lu Fan hurtling through the air.

“He Tong?! Have you lost your mind?!” The other elder roared, horrified by the sudden attack on Lu Fan.

“Hahaha, I’m not He Tong. Do you not recognize me?” The elder chuckled, waving his hand. His hair and face peeled away as a mask, revealing a youthful face still retaining a hint of baby fat. His expression was one of smug satisfaction.

“Mo Nian!”

The realization struck everyone from the Brahma Pill Valley like a thunderbolt. The notorious Mo Nian, whom they had been relentlessly hunting, had infiltrated their ranks!

The experts from Brahma Pill Valley charged toward Mo Nian with killing intent, but one person was faster than the rest. Han Qianye’s overwhelming pressure bore down on Mo Nian as he was personally attacking.

“Die!”

Yet, Han Qianye’s attack was too slow. Mo Nian had already stepped into the spatial channel. His figure vanished, leaving only his mocking laughter behind.

“Haha, I’ll be leaving first!” Mo Nian’s voice rang out, his laughter echoing with arrogance.

Suddenly, a streak of black light shot out.

“Watch out!” Alarmed shouts erupted from the crowd, but it was too late.

A massive shovel burst through the crowd like a lightning bolt. Several Pill Valley disciples were caught off guard and impaled by the shovel. They exploded upon impact, their blood raining down in a gruesdisplay that left everyone in shock.

To disguise himself as a high-ranking Pill Valley member and then attack their own disciples in front of a Human Emperor... Mo Nian’s audacity was staggering.

Now, everyone from Pill Valley had ugly expressions, and Han Qianye’s killing intent had solidified.

Mo Nian had long been a thorn in their side, causing chaos and leaving taunting tokens behind. Yet, despite their efforts, he had always managed to evade capture. Now, he had infiltrated their ranks unnoticed and struck a devastating blow, all under the watchful eyes of their top experts. The Brahma Pill Valley had truly lost face this time, especially in such a public setting.

“You little ingrate, I’ll kill you!” roared Lu Fan while still dazed from the slap. He then charged through the spatial gate, chasing after Mo Nian.

1. 梵天 = Brahma/Nirvana = Fan Tian. Lu Fan has one of Brahma’s characters in his name. ☜

2. In Chapter 4610, there’s an idiot called Gan Luo who’s one of the 3000 formal disciples ☜
