Chapter 925
Some Truths
"We hope the Imperial Advisor will show leniency!"
Mo Lao, a Golden Immortal Realm expert, was once a high and mighty figure in the empire, but now he was bowing and scraping before the Imperial Advisor, all for the sake of survival.
The Imperial Advisor stared at Elder Mo for a while, about to say something, when suddenly there was a spatial anomaly.
A figure was thrown out from the spatial turbulence, looking extremely disheveled.
Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized the man as Xue Ye, the crown prince of the Snow Moon Empire.
"His Royal Highness!"
Everyone gasped in surprise and rushed to help him up.
At this moment, the prince was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
"Prince!"
The Imperial Advisor approached the Crown Prince and sensed that the snowy night had not caused him much damage, only that his soul had suffered some torment.
"wake up!"
As a powerful figure at the Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal Realm, the Imperial Preceptor possessed methods that were unimaginable to ordinary people. His loud shout was like the words of Buddha, immediately waking up the still bewildered Crown Prince Xueye.
"Ahhh~"
Xue Ye immediately covered his head with his hands, as if a force was about to burst his head.
"Imperial Preceptor, that thief has stolen the Blood Phoenix Beast's remains!"
He struggled to look up at the Imperial Preceptor in the snowy night, feeling a sense of fear.
There are not many people in the entire Snow Moon Empire who can make Snow Night feel fear, and this Grand Preceptor happens to be one of them.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor's expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, it's good that you're alright. Go back to the palace first and report this matter to His Majesty. They actually dared to rob our Snow Moon Empire. This matter won't just end like this."
Upon hearing this, Xueye felt extremely helpless, and a faint sense of fear enveloped her.
I was ordered by the Emperor to retrieve the Blood Phoenix Beast's remains from the Wuyin Merchant Guild. These were the treasures my father needed to break through to the Immortal King Realm, but now they have been taken away by others. This is my dereliction of duty!
If he returns empty-handed, he might be punished physically if he's lucky, but he could also be stripped of his crown prince status.
Being a crown prince is more than just a title. It grants access to tremendous resources, three to five times more than that of an ordinary prince, and allows one to mobilize powerful figures at the Golden Immortal level, such as Elder Mo.
Xue Ye and his group returned empty-handed, while Lin Xuan and Lin Xiao returned with a full load of loot.
Yuan Kong fled all the way, but ended up at the home of his sworn brother, the Lin family mansion.
Yuan Kong gazed at the Lin residence for a long time before finally deciding to push open the door and enter.
"Uncle Yuan, it's been a long time."
Lin Xiao was already waiting in the Lin residence. After all, Lin Xuan was a space-type expert, and by using space power, he could return to the Lin family several times faster than Yuan Kong.
"I can't believe you've grown up so much. It feels like more than a decade has passed since I left the Lin family. Time really flies."
Looking at Lin Xiao, who bore a striking resemblance to his sworn brother Lin Xiaotian, Yuan Kong couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy.
My sworn brother is the true chosen one of heaven, the man of destiny!
Unfortunately, they were framed by that damned Snow Moon Empire, and their whereabouts are now unknown.
"That mysterious space-elemental expert, was he someone you invited to help me?" Yuan Kong asked Lin Xiao curiously.
Yuan Kong and Lin Xiaotian had known each other for hundreds of years, yet he had never heard of such a master in the Lin family.
"Yes, I invited him. His name is Elder Xuan, a very powerful senior."
Lin Xiao did not hide anything, nor was there any need for him to.
"Indeed, he is very powerful. Even several Golden Immortals working together are no match for him. A space-type expert is truly terrifying."
Yuan Kong sighed deeply, feeling both admiration for Lin Xuan's strength and a sense of helplessness at his own inferiority. If he were also a space-type expert, he would surely be able to get the royal family to tell him what really happened back then.
"Hehe, that's natural. My spatial abilities are beyond his comprehension. What you've seen is merely the tip of the iceberg."
Lin Xuan, now back inside Lin Xiao's body, couldn't help but speak with a touch of pride.
Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but smile slightly as he listened to Lin Xuan's self-praise.
"Uncle Yuan, how did you end up going up against them?"
Lin Xiao poured Yuan Kong a cup of tea and asked him with some curiosity.
Yuan Kong stared at Lin Xiao for a long time, and finally smiled wistfully.
“That’s right. Now that you can get such a master to help you, there’s no need for me to hide the truth from your parents anymore.”
"Uncle Yuan, do you know why my parents disappeared?!"
Lin Xiao suddenly stood up, his breathing becoming much more rapid.
“I don’t know for sure.” Yuan Kong shook his head slightly, then sighed. “Your parents were sent out by that dog emperor to resist the evil race. Later, your father told me some things, and then the two of them went to Tianze Mountain. Tianze Mountain was a hideout of the evil race in our immortal realm. Several of your parents’ imperial generals actually deserted in the face of battle, leaving only the two of them behind. In the end, although the hideout was destroyed, your parents’ whereabouts were unknown. And the more than a dozen cities around Tianze Mountain, hundreds of billions of people became victims and all died.”
"Because of this, the Snow Moon Empire has charged your parents with failing to hold their ground and deserting their post!"
"Bang!" Yuan Kong became increasingly angry as he spoke, slamming his fist on the table, gritting his teeth in hatred.
Lin Xiao's eyes gradually sharpened.
Why would they do that?!
“I don’t know the specific reason yet, but I do know that the emperor knew about the evil clan’s hideout back then, but he still sent your parents there. He wanted your parents to die. In particular, the dozen or so Golden Immortal Realm generals and the hundred Heavenly Immortal Realm experts he sent to support them all returned unharmed. They didn’t go to support them at all!”
"I suspect that it was your parents' terrifying talents that frightened the emperor."
Yuan Kong took a sip of tea, his eyes darting around.
Lin Xiao remained silent for a moment, then looked at Yuan Kong.
"Uncle Yuan, are my parents very strong?"
“Of course.” Yuan Kong nodded without hesitation: “You should know that your parents are unparalleled geniuses, one in a million years in our Snow Moon Empire, especially your mother, who is a genius among geniuses!”
Yuan Kong's high praise made Lin Xuan a little curious. Was this a once-in-a-million-years occurrence?
"Really?!" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, but then his resolve hardened. He absolutely couldn't let his parents down!
"Of course, your father entered the Golden Immortal realm in less than a thousand years of cultivation, and your mother is even more terrifying. She has a special physique and her cultivation speed is as fast as drinking water. She is more than three hundred years younger than your father, but her cultivation level is no less than your father's!"
Lin Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement. No wonder Lin Xiao inherited the Four Symbols Sacred Body; his parents were geniuses after all. (End of Chapter)
