Chapter 921
Siege
The Fu family didn't lack the desire to compete; rather, they were unwilling to offend the royal family. It could be said that everything the Fu family has today is a gift from the royal family.
This is completely different from the Lin family of the past, whose relationship with the royal family was more like a partnership.
Thirty million!
Crown Prince Xueye waved his hand and directly shouted out a high price of 20 million Origin Pills.
The scene fell silent instantly. The price was simply too high; it could completely drain a second-tier power within the Snow Moon Empire, and even a first-tier power would be severely damaged.
Only a superpower like the royal family would dare to spend so extravagantly.
The Ice Moon Immortal Sect also stopped bidding, as the price had already far exceeded the actual value of the Blood Phoenix Beast's corpse.
The mysterious man at number nine also stopped bidding that day, clearly because the price had exceeded his budget.
Ultimately, the Blood Phoenix Beast's corpse ended up in the hands of the Snow Moon Royal Family.
"Your Highness, once we have the body, we should immediately return to the palace."
Old Mo, standing beside Xue Ye, breathed a sigh of relief as he successfully snapped up the Blood Phoenix Beast's corpse. This was something His Majesty had specifically requested; if they had failed, things would have been difficult.
"Not urgent."
A single sentence on a snowy night made Old Mo's heart skip a beat.
"I hope Your Highness will consider the bigger picture. Although the essence blood of the Golden Armored Divine Turtle is valuable, our Snow Moon Empire is vast and rich in resources. We have many such treasures. There is no need to waste time on this!"
As one of Crown Prince Xueye's protectors, Elder Mo knew Xueye's character all too well.
Xueye's motivation wasn't solely for the essence and blood; more importantly, she couldn't swallow this insult!
As the crown prince of the Snow Moon Empire, he is the most noble person in the entire Snow Moon Empire, yet today two people dared to disobey him.
"Elder Mo!" Xue Ye turned to look at Elder Mo, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"With Father Emperor absent, I am the master. Do you, Elder Mo, intend to defy the imperial decree?!"
Although Elder Mo could kill Xue Ye with a single slap, he dared not make a move, because the current emperor could also kill him with a single slap.
"Your Highness, His Majesty urgently needs the corpse of the Blood Phoenix Beast. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be dire. Your Highness, please reconsider."
Mo Lao still wanted to stop it.
Crown Prince Xueye waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, Elder Mo, my mind is made up. Besides, this is Yue Du, the territory of my Snow Moon Empire. Anyone who dares to fight our royal family here is just asking for trouble!"
Xueye's words were not wrong. After all, Yuedu was the capital of the Xueyue Empire, and there were experts from the royal family everywhere there.
"Hey."
Old Mo was speechless and could only follow Xue Ye into this mess.
"I, the Crown Prince, will make that fool of himself die without a burial place!"
Xueye glanced at room number nine in the tiered room, and then at the private room where Lin Xiao was staying below.
Xueye was unwilling to let either of them go, but her first priority was to kill Tianzi No. 9, since the item was still in Tianzi No. 9's hands.
After the auction ended, the area around the Wuyin Chamber of Commerce was filled with murderous intent and the smell of blood.
Lin Xiao, covered by a black robe, quietly slipped out of the Wuyin Merchant Guild.
"Kid, you've got a tail behind you."
Lin Xuan spoke up to remind him.
Lin Xiao paused slightly. "Elder Xuan, could it be that the Crown Prince wants to kill me?"
Lin Xiao immediately connected the dots to the Crown Prince, after all, he had made the Crown Prince lose face in public.
"That's probably it. Two people came, both at the Earth Immortal Realm. They're giving you a lot of respect."
Lin Xuan chuckled, his words utterly nonchalant. "Elder Xuan, can you handle it?"
"I can kill two shrimps with a flick of my finger, but I cannot reveal my soul form and need to borrow your body."
Lin Xuan said calmly.
"Alright, Elder Xuan, please come on." Lin Xiao nodded seriously.
As a faint light emanated from Lin Xiao, the two Earth Immortal Realm experts who had come with him were slightly taken aback.
"What's going on? Why is this thing glowing?"
"Can you sense his strength level?"
"I can't find out anything, it's like something strange is blocking my investigation."
"I sense danger; this person may not be as simple as he seems."
After thinking for a while, the two immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to leave, but it was too late.
As soon as the two turned around, they found a figure shrouded in black robes standing in front of them.
This scene startled the two Earth Immortal Realm experts, who were completely unprepared!
"Heh, you've followed me all this way, what, you want to leave now?"
Lin Xuan had already taken control of Lin Xiao's body. Although Lin Xiao's body was weak, there was still a Four Symbols Sacred Body hidden deep within him. In terms of physical strength, Lin Xiao could barely withstand Lin Xuan's terrifying soul power.
"Who are you?!"
One of them tried to remain calm and even thought he could turn the tables, but he miscalculated Lin Xuan.
"Who I am is none of your business."
Lin Xuan attacked swiftly and decisively. The two were powerless to resist and were instantly crushed. As for their souls, they were naturally devoured by Lin Xuan and turned into nourishment.
"So strong!"
The "Lin Xiao soul body" inside Lin Xiao's body was stunned by this scene. Only by truly feeling Lin Xuan's move could one feel the unparalleled power.
"Hehe, this is just the beginning. Now we're going to turn into bandits."
Lin Xuan's soul power could easily cover the entire Moon Capital, making it easy for him to pinpoint the location of the mysterious person number nine on that day.
At this moment, the mysterious person number nine was in a precarious situation.
"Elder Xuan, were these two really sent by the Crown Prince?" Lin Xiao wanted to know the truth.
"By devouring their souls, we can learn from their shattered souls that they were the people of that prince. So it's highly likely that the prince summoned them to follow you. Presumably, you angered him by competing with him for the Golden Armored Divine Turtle's essence blood."
"You actually want to kill me like this!"
Lin Xiao was furious.
Lin Xuan remained calm, already accustomed to such things. "Isn't this normal? This is the world of cultivation, where the law of the jungle prevails. The strong make the rules, and the weak can only adapt to them. It's perfectly normal."
Lin Xuan's words made Lin Xiao fall into deep thought. If that was the case, then he had to hurry up and work hard to become stronger.
Lin Xuan arrived at the place where the mysterious man was being besieged in just half an incense stick's time.
Outside the Moon Capital, in a mass grave, a mysterious figure dressed in tattered clothes stands atop a mountain of bones piled up from skulls.
Surrounding the mysterious man were Xue Ye, the crown prince of the Snow Moon Empire, and Fu Batian, the head of the Fu family, with these two families as the main figures.
In addition, several other major forces also sent people, including the Ice Moon Sect.
"It's very lively."
Lin Xuan did not immediately reveal himself, but instead stood in the shadows watching. (End of Chapter)
