When those Saint-level city guards saw the golden nameplate in Mo Nian's hand, they were all shocked, and their gazes toward Mo Nian changed.
"You've slain a Heavenly Saint-level demon?" A city guard leader took Mo Nian's nameplate, carefully examined it, and found it was genuine. He still said in disbelief.
Yutong looked at the golden nameplate in the city guard's hand, her jade-like hand covering her cherry lips, her eyes full of disbelief.
Long Chen didn't know what the nameplate meant, but Yutong did—this golden plaque was a symbol of nobility in Demon-Subduing City.
Only those who personally slay a Heavenly Saint-level demon and cut off its head and hand it over to Demon Suppression City will verify the monster's death curse to determine whether the monster was killed by the visitor and whether it was assisted by others.
In other words, if someone else is present when killing a Heavenly Saint-level demon, regardless of whether that person made a move, it will be considered invalid. Only by killing a Heavenly Saint-level demon independently and confirming it will a golden demon-subduing token be issued.
The Golden Demon-Subduing Token must be issued only when a Heavenly Saint-level demon is killed at the Divine Sovereign realm. Heavenly Saint-level experts do not receive such treatment.
This Golden Demon-Subduing Token allows free use of all public facilities in Demon-Subduing City, including top-tier cultivation venues, trial grounds, martial arts arenas, puppet training partners, and more, along with hundreds of free services.
With this Golden Demon-Subduing Talisman, almost every venue in the city enjoys VIP treatment, with discounts on most items.
Long Chen didn't understand the importance of the nameplate, so he secretly communicated with Yutong. When he learned how important it was, he was shocked—Mo Nian had actually slain a Heavenly Saint-level demon on his own. This was terrifying.
Although Long Chen had also killed Heavenly Saint-level monsters before, that beast had already fought Bai Zhantang to a mutually exhausting battle, and the reason it was able to kill it was the combined effort of everyone.
If he were alone, facing an already injured Demon Lord, to be honest, he really wasn't very confident, since defeating and killing him were two different things.
When Mo Nian revealed the Golden Demon-Subduing Talisman, those who had been slapped by him before looked shocked. They hadn't expected to hit a wall this time.
The leader of this group was also there to pick them up. He naturally understood what the Golden Demon-Subduing Talisman signified. They were shocked, angry, and frustrated—how could they be so unlucky? Just a little flirt and they could encounter such a terrifying presence.
"So you only act arrogantly because you have the Golden Demon-Subduing Talisman, ignoring the rules of Demon-Subduing City. Hmph, let's see what you'll do after losing the Golden Demon-Subduing Talisman. Once you enter the city, I'll show you how tragic the consequences for offending our Ironblood Sect are! "The leader of the group shouted.
Facing the man's shout, Mo Nian chuckled and said, "So it's the Iron Blood Sect, one of the four great city guards of Fumo City. No wonder they're so arrogant. But it's fine, I just like dealing with those arrogant people. Is it really that miserable?" Hehe, it seems you're already pretty miserable.
To be honest, this is the Corpse Demon Curse. Unless a Heavenly Saint is willing to sacrifice a hundred years of cultivation to help you break the curse.
Otherwise, the meat on your mouths will never grow. Just keep living like this, baring your teeth until one day you advance to Heavenly Saint. But it's not that I look down on you, but with your talent, hehe, I'm afraid you'll never have a chance for the rest of your life. "
You ...," the leading expert was both shocked and furious.
If what Mo Nian said was true, they would live a lifetime without a mouth. Although they were disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, their talent was only that of five-star Destiny Practitioners, not core disciples.
Even core disciples and Heavenly Saint experts wouldn't spend a hundred years of cultivation to help break the curse. Not to mention them—even their own children and grandchildren might not be willing.
Long Chen admired Mo Nian in his heart. Mo Nian really had some skills. With his personality, he would have taken down this group of vicious-mouthed, filth-spitting people just now.
Mo Nian's move was even more vicious—they would never have lips again, which was the best punishment for spitting filth everywhere—even more satisfying than killing them.
"City Guard, he maliciously attacked someone at the city gate. Quickly confiscate his golden demon-subduing talisman." At this moment, the man could only vent his anger in this way.
The city guard leader glanced at Mo Nian, then at Long Chen, then turned to the man and said coldly,
"It was clearly you who provoked and slandered me. Otherwise, how could there have been any further trouble?"
"Officer City Guard, ..." The man was stunned for a moment.
The city guard leader shouted coldly, "Shut up! Both of you are at fault. I'll make a note of this first. When I have some free time, I'll settle the score with you." After
speaking, the city guard tossed the golden demon-subduing talisman in his hand to Mo Nian, and at the same time, in a voice only the few of them could hear:
"Young man, we're all human. This is all I can help with. From now on, it's up to you."
Taking the nameplate, Mo Nian was stunned. He hadn't expected this city guard to side with him like this. It seemed he had no connection with these city guards.
"You're corrupt for personal gain... the man shouted angrily.
"Shut your mouth! Didn't you notice your teeth are turning black? If you don't focus on resisting the curse, your lives will be lost." The city guard sneered.
After speaking, he looked around and shouted coldly, "Everyone, listen up! Once you arrive in Demon Suppression City, you must follow its rules. If you dare cause trouble again, you will be severely punished." After
the city guard finished speaking, he disappeared with his men, leaving behind Mo Nian and the others looking bewildered, along with the group of people who were filled with righteous indignation and clutching their mouths and wailing in pain.
The surrounding experts all stared blankly at the scene, confused and unsure of what had happened. But the city guard's obvious favoritism toward Long Chen and the others was obvious enough that anyone who wasn't blind could see it.
For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on Mo Nian, all speculating about his origin. Their eyes were filled with awe, clearly showing the immense power of this Golden Demon-Subduing Talisman.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys stop shouting so loudly? It's so noisy. Where did all that arrogance before? Keep barking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll dig a cesspit and bury you all in it! Mo Nian was enjoying the intense stares from those around him, but in his ears he heard the group screaming in pain, which made him furious.
"That's a bit off. If you dig a pit, just dig a pit. But how do you dig a cesspit?" Long Chen asked.
"If you dig a pit, you and I can each poop a bit, and then the cesspit will come out." Mo Nian said somewhat speechlessly.
"Alright, you won." Long Chen was equally speechless.
"You guys... Just you wait. The group gritted their teeth but dared not provoke the two further.
"Forget it, don't bother with them. There's no need to get angry at them. Hey, I really didn't expect you to be so sneaky, but you're actually this formidable." Only then did Yutong recover from her shock, looking at Mo Nian in disbelief.
"Personally, I think if you remove the penultimate sentence, it would be perfect." Mo Nian rubbed his nose and said seriously.
Mo Nian's words made Yutong and her sister burst into laughter. Soon, it was their turn to process the nameplate. Long Chen had just announced his name and inscribed a unique rune of his own. All he needed to do was add one more drop of blood to complete the nameplate binding.
"Wait."
Just then, a group of people charged at him fiercely. Long Chen turned to look, and it was a group of powerful figures also dressed in city guard uniforms.
When those who had previously provoked Long Chen saw this group of city guards, they were instantly overjoyed, their eyes filled with ferocity:
"Let's see how you die this time!"
