planning

Mo Chuang who was currently holding Lin Hao stared at Long Jin. Long Jin felt his powers decreasing lower and lower. Soon later on Long Jin's cultivation soon dropped to essence gathering stage.

Long Jin fearing that he might die shouted, "What have you done to me? What tricks did you filthy ants use to surpress my cultivation?" Mo Chuang then smiled and said, "U fought with Lin Hao at his stage by suppressing your cultivation right? Fight with me at the same stage then."

Long Jin hearing this thought he could live because he would win the battle if they were in same stage. When one hears that two people at same stage were fighting one would probably think that the one with better techniques, foundation and skills would win but if someone is at higher stage and he suppressed his cultivation and fight with someone in that stage they are sure to win.

This is due to the fact that if someone like Long Jin who is definitely in higher stage then Mo Chuang and Lin Hao would only be suppressing his spiritual energy and his stage's extra abilities. But what Long Jin can't surpress is the skills and techniques he is going to use. Once a cultivator advance even a minor stage their technique would advance with them as well.

So if Long Jin were to attack Mo Chuang with his technique then the attack would at least be at the level of eternal essence stage. This was the reason why Long Jin was sure he would win against Mo Chuang and the fact that Long Jin was from the dragon clan made him even more sure because dragon race are known from their physical body being one of the strongest.

Long Jin was still not able to find out what was the thing that pressured him to kneel and even surpress his cultivation. However he didn't think much of it because when his cultivation dropped he panicked so much that he was going to die.

So Long Jin couldn't even think properly and when he heard Mo Chuang's words he completely forgot about that pressure as he believed that surviving in this situation was the best outcome. Even if he was from dragon clan he was nothing like one. Dragons are so prideful that they would start a war just because someone disrespected them.

Mo Chuang just sighed and said, "let's not fight here as it might cause troubles to the civilians here." Long Jin agreed to that because evn if he was selfish he was still assigned to protect the lower realms so if he causes some trouble here he would obviously faced huge punishment.

Mo Chuang then led Long Jin to a familiar place. It was the tomb of the heavenly emperor. Long Jin who was in charge of this realm didn't knew about this himself.

This was simply because ling Shuo before dying had left a pretty powerful array and that was why nascent soul or above nascent soul couldn't enter his tomb. But this time Ling Shuo had deliberately released his array upon his spiritual communication with Mo Chuang.

Mo Chuang, Long Jin and others entered the tomb and suddenly Long Jin who somehow recovered his cultivation tried to attack Mo Chuang because if he could kill Mo Chuang and others there was no need for him to fight Mo Chuang.

Suddenly when he was about to attack his body suddenly burst in blood Infront of Mo Chuang. Yun Zhen witnessing this almost vommited from the amount of blood that came out from Long Jin's body.

Yun Zhen covering his mouth with a cloth looked at Mo Chuang and Ling Shuo with deep fear and he thought that if he ever tried to retaliate he would also end up like Long Jin.

Suddenly he remembered that Long Jin had already recovered his cultivation but why did he die but he didn't dare to ask Mo Chuang about it so he just stood there quietly after calming down.

Mo Chuang seeing Yun Zhen's condition just smiled and said, "You better practice because someday you will be doing things worse than this."

Yun Zhen was terrified yet felt motivated for some reason. He didn't knew the root of this feeling but he knew it was related to Mo Chuang.

Mo Chuang then thought, "Long Jin dying can be said to be an accident because he was careless and entered the tomb without knowing anything."

"If boundary wardens were to investigate the people that saw Long Jin attacking us then that might cause a little trouble so I have to deal with it before it grows." he thought.

Mo Chuang then boarded the mystical boat and gave both Lin Hao and Lei Yun a Heaven grade pill. Seeing this Yun Zhen couldn't help but envy Mo Chuang's close peoples. A Heaven grade pill was something he heard only in legends.

Mo Chuang then went to his room and everyone went to their work. Mo Chuang when he was drinking water heard someone knocking on his door.

"Who is it?" Mo Chuang asked. "Brother Mo it's me." He heard a Ling Shuo's voice. He then opened the door and invited him inside his room. "Did I perhaps disturb you brother Mo?" Long Shuo asked.

"Well not really I was just drinking some water." Mo Chuang replied. He knew exactly why Ling Shuo came for but acted as if he didn't knew.

Ling Shuo then said, "Brother Mo, I wanted to ask of all of this was planned from the moment you had made up your mind to enter the tomb?" Mo Chuang after hearing this said, "Brother Ling how could it be? I didn't plan anything and what made you think that?"

"Mo Chuang don't act dumb anymore! I treated you as my brother but you had only thought of using me?" Ling Shuo said. Mo Chuang hearing this was stunned. He knew this won't end well if this conversation keeps going this way.

Mo Chuang then said, "Brother if you really think that I betrayed you then you can kill me with the crimson dragon halberd." As he said these words he took out crimson dragon halberd and was trying to give Ling Shuo that.

Seeing this Ling Shuo sigh and said, "Brother Mo , I've made a grave mistake of doubting you... it's just that the way things were happening was just too much coincidental so much that it made me question even you."

Mo Chuang seeing this kept back the crimson dragon halberd and said, "Brother if I was in your place I would've thought the same. If you ask me about it I would say it's not me who is controlling our actions but it's someone else."

Ling Shuo then thought about it. After some time he sighed and said, "Brother Mo once again sorry for my ignorance and I'll think further about your words." As he said this he stood up and left the room.

Mo Chuang after Ling Shuo left was like a man who got his plan successfully for something. Mo Chuang then thought about today's incident. Mo Chuang after some time asked system about the points he had earned by killing someone like Long Jin.

[Master your balance currently is only 5865 eclipse essence and as to why you didn't earn any eclipse essence after Long Jin was killed was because it was not you who had killed him directly.]

When Mo Chuang heard this he got quite furious. What did the system mean by he didn't kill him directly. He calculated each and every actions of his to kill Long Jin easily.

Mo Chuang then asked, "System listen, I planned about Ling Shuo before even entering Han realm and when I made that plan I had already planned to deal with Long Jin so what do you mean by that?"

[Master sometimes planning is not everything.]

Mo Chuang then said, "Then what about the person who created you? Wasn't that also part of a plan?"

[...]

[Master is right... The system made a mistake... Restarting system and updating features as to master's liking.....]

Mo Chuang was already expecting this because he knew that system is vulnerable at some point. Mo Chuang then thought, "When I came out of the mystical boat, Long Jin was immediately surpressed because of the dragon's heart amulet I'm wearing so the dragon clans are vulnerable to this artifact."

In the cultivation world the dragon race were one of the superior race in the history and even in present time they are called one of the supreme race after human race.

There was one thing about dragon race. Dragons were divided from the bloodline because once someone's dragon bloodline is purer and superior then other then it's like others are slave of them. The artifact was made from the heart of a primordial dragon which was a being that was held as the most powerful race in it's realm.

This was the reason why he was able to surpress Long Jin easily. He didn't wanted to directly surpress him and kill him because other boundary wardens after finding out he was the one who killed them wouldn't let Mo Chuang off and the dragon clan were trouble as well.

So Mo Chuang deliberately let Long Jin recover his cultivation once he entered the tomb because he knew that Ling Shuo could manipulate the tomb at will at this point so he just let Ling Shuo open the array and make it seem like Long Jin died in a accident.

As to why Ling Shuo came and said those things was because he thought that Mo Chuang helped him recover the needed amount to control the tomb so he could kill Long Jin and obviously Ling Shuo was furious that he was being used as a tool so he came to Mo Chuang to clear his doubts.

Suddenly Mo Chuang saw that system was back. Mo Chuang didn't really had to talk to communicate with system Mo Chuang could just use his thoughts.

[Master, I'm back! The system has been updated and is currently calculating your work's reward.]

[For doing such vicious thing and calculating so many things so much that even boundary wardens can't find anything and killing a peak Eternal essence stage cultivator master is rewarded with 68,650 eclipse essence.]

[Current balance: 74,516 eclipse essence.]

Mo Chuang has expected this much because he knew that what he had done was not something small. Mo Chuang after gaining these eclipse points asked, "won't I get any extra benefits for letting system know it's mistake?"

[That's right! Master is rewarded with the bloodline of the 5 supreme beasts.]

[Master also unlocks a new ability where he can steal the bloodline once he meets the system's requirements.]

Suddenly Mo Chuang felt something strange in his blood. It was as if his blood was getting hotter, colder and harder at the same time. Mo Chuang then started absorbing the bloodline.

When Mo Chuang finished absorbing the bloodline he realized it had already been 5 months. When he opened his eyes he saw that there was a girl sleeping in his bed.
