Chapter 1325: The Celestial Master Mo Xu

ht! Apparently, Yu Yueyue's doing a dance and Xia Tinghe's playing the guzheng solo... Besides those two, we've got the class beauties from every grade. All in all, tonight is gonna be a visual feast!...The atmosphere in the main hall was incredibly oppressive.

"Bang!"

After a long silence, the man suddenly slapped the armrest of the chair he was sitting on, producing a muffled thud.

"To dare steal the sacred fruit in front of me... Damn human scum!" The man's fury was palpable, his eyes blazing with crimson light, his aura rising steadily.

The silver-armored beings standing on both sides of the main hall didn't dare to move, all bowing their heads.

"I should have gotten the Sacred Fruit ages ago!" The man's anger grew, and he stood up abruptly, his emotions seeming barely contained.

The Dongdu Water Demons are his direct lineage.

He spared no effort, planning for a full two months, before allowing the Water Ghost tribe to obtain the Holy Fruit first.

After obtaining the holy fruit, he bragged to his mother and received a great reward!

But he never expected that, with the holy fruit in hand, there would be a mishap during the process of it being transported to him!

And when the sacred fruit was taken, he tried to contact the Divine Sea Dynasty territories located on the coast of Dongdu, but he received no reply!

Now he was completely panicked.

He knew, something big was going to happen!

The holy fruit was snatched away, not to mention that the previous reward would be revoked... What's more crucial is that he knows his mother's character very well!

Such a low-level mistake, and it was made by a human cultivator... If this got into the ears of the Mother who looked down on humans the most, he, the prince, would probably lose his position!

Even... one's life might be at stake!

We have to find a way!

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he was clutching his head as he paced back and forth in a chair.

At that moment, a soft sound came from outside.

The man looked up and towards the entrance of the main hall.

A creature with purple skin, snake-like in shape and ugly in appearance came in from outside.

Upon seeing this creature, the man's face changed, and his expression immediately subsided.

He looked at the creature with a hint of fear in his eyes, and immediately sat back down on the chair.

"Master Mo Xuantian, why...did you suddenly come to my territory" The man sat in the chair, trying his best to appear normal as he asked.

This hideous creature walked straight to the front of the hall, slightly raised its head, and stared at the man on the high seat.

"Your Highness... didn't you lose the sacred fruit from Tongdu" This creature didn't move its mouth, but a gloomy voice echoed out, sounding extremely eerie.

Especially its two black eyeballs arranged vertically, made people feel very uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Mo Xu's words, the man's face changed drastically.

"Master Mo Xu Tian, you... how did you know about this..." The man's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach, his face turned pale, and he trembled as he asked.

How did Mo Xu find out about this so soon!

This is no longer important.

It's important, didn't mother also know about this!

“Your Highness, don’t concern yourself with where I learned this… I only know that the Emperor and Empress value the Sacred Fruit greatly,” Mo Xu said softly. “The other one is currently in the Empress’s possession. She is waiting for this one in Your Highness’s hands, but... something like this has happened.”

"With the Empress's personality, if she were to learn of this..."

"Your Highness, the consequences should be self-evident."

Upon hearing this, the man's face completely changed, his heart pounding wildly.

What Mo Xu said was also what he thought.

Therefore, this matter absolutely cannot be known by Mother!

He must retrieve the holy fruit!

"Mo, Mo Xuantian Master... please do not tell mother about this." The man widened his eyes, stood up, and said in an almost panicked voice.

"I would never dare to deceive the Empress," Mo Xu replied coldly.

The man's face turned pale, and his breathing became extremely rapid.

He didn't know what to do!

"Your Highness, I advise you to retrieve the Sacred Fruit as soon as possible… otherwise, the Emperor and Empress will inevitably learn of this." Mo Xu said calmly.

The man was completely panicked.

What should I do!!!

What should he do!

The Sacred Fruit was taken during the handover between the Water Ghost Clan... He didn't even know the identity of the human cultivator who took it!

How to find the sacred fruit with no clues

The man scratched his head, then suddenly thought of something. He jerked his head up and looked down at Mo Xu who was standing there.

When Mo Xu learned that the sacred fruit had been taken, he came to his territory again. He obviously wasn't just here to warn him.

The man immediately descended the steps and came before Mo Xu.

"Master Mo Xu... Please point me in the right direction. I... need your help." The man looked at Mo Xu and spoke.

"I'm afraid... I don't deserve your trust, My Lord," Mo Xu said with a strange tone.

The man looked at Mo Xu, gritted his teeth.

His relationship with Mo Xu wasn't very good.

Before he became a prince, Mo Xu once wanted to join his ranks.

But at the time, men felt that Mo Xu was too close to his mother and did not want her to place a pawn by his side, so they refused Mo Xu's request.

Since then, his relationship with Mo Xu drifted further and further apart.

However... the current situation forces him to bow his head.

Without Mo Xu's help, he couldn't even determine who had taken the Holy Fruit, let alone find it back.

If the Holy Fruit is not recovered, there will only be one result...being stripped of his princely status and even imprisoned in the depths of the sea.

This is the consequence he couldn't accept.

“Master Mo Xu Tian, please help me… I truly have no other choice.” The man pleaded with a desperate tone.

Mo stared intently at the man, his unsettlingly stacked eyes flashing a glint.

"Your Highness, all I can tell you is my speculation on the identity of the human cultivator who took the Sacred Fruit," Mo Xu said.

The man immediately looked up, his eyes fixed on Mo Xu before him.

"Master, please speak!" the man asked urgently.

"If I'm not mistaken... he should be the most famous human cultivator in the past two days, Fang Yu," Mo Xu said. "According to rumors outside, this Fang Yu single-handedly wiped out all the Tianhun clan who occupied Beidu in just two days."

"All Skyfire Hawks… wiped out…" The man's eyes widened, filled with horror.

The Tianhu clan, even within the ancient clans, was at least in the upper-middle ranks.

The Shenhai Dynasty was recently planning to invade Beidu, but...the Tianhu clan was unexpectedly exterminated! And it was done by a human cultivator!

"Of course, I think it's impossible for a human cultivator to exterminate the entire Skyhawk clan," Mo Xu said calmly.

"What does 'Celestial Master' mean" the man looked at Mo Xu, his eyes full of confusion.

"The news of Fang Yu's extermination of the Tianhun Clan spread throughout Yanxia in a day, reaching all areas inhabited by different races." Mo Xu said calmly, "This is clearly a scheme by the cultivators from Beidu."

They wanted to tell all the races of the world that among humanity, a top-tier powerhouse had emerged who could single-handedly destroy a race.

This way, the different tribes might become wary and dare not continue to invade Beidu.

“What the Celestial Master means is, Fang Yu isn’t as strong as rumored The Tianhu Clan wasn't eradicated by him either” the man asked.

“Yes, the Skyhawk Clan has 200,000 living beings. He is just one human, how could he possibly exterminate them all... He must have many helpers. Of course, compared to the human cultivators we met in Dongdu, Huaibei before, he must be much stronger.” Mo Xu said, “Therefore, he was able to snatch the Sacred Fruit from the Water Ghost Clan.”

"Fang Yu..." A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes as he said, "I'll send someone to find him now."

"Your Highness, I suggest sending a group of those captured human cultivators to scout Fang Yu's strength first. Afterward... it wouldn't be too late for my subordinates to make their move." Mo Xu spoke.

The man glanced at Mo Xu and nodded. "I understand, Celestial Master."

"When Fang Yu snatched the Sacred Fruit, he left behind his aura. I can cast a spell to track his current location for Your Highness," Mo Xu said, "As for what to do next, it's up to you, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Master Daoist, for your help. If I am able to reclaim the Holy Fruit this time, I will surely…" The man said gratefully.

"Your Highness, perhaps it's best to focus on the matter at hand first. We can discuss other matters later." Mo Xu said nonchalantly.

The man's face changed slightly, and he nodded.

Then, Mo Xu raised his right hand, and in his grasp, a staff materialized.

Mo Xu raised his staff into the air, muttering a cryptic incantation.

"Swoosh!"

The staff glowed brightly, and Mo Xu's two eyes, arranged in a top-and-bottom fashion, flickered with an unusual light.

After a few seconds, the gleam in Mo Xu's eyes faded.

"Fang Yu... is very close to us," Mo Xu said, "just off the coast."elt an abundance of energy coursing through his entire body. Every inch of his flesh and blood was pulsing, boiling with power!"Bang!"A beam of energy erupted from Linglong's mouth."Swallow the soul."...
