Chapter 1247: 18.85 First Grey Star - Arrival of the Messengers to Aurora Glaciers.
The barbarian invasion proved to be a disaster; not only was the mastermind captured, but the barbarian king also became crippled, losing both arms and legs, but for some reason, he lives on, even though he is in constant pain. In addition, the dark elements are corrupting his soul, so it will not be long before he passes away in the most agonizing way possible.
The three Heavenly Guardians sent the crippled Barbarian King to Wang Xingmo and brought him to the underground prison to meet the other prisoner there. After the battle with the barbarian was over, the barbarian king's current condition was reported to the palace, and he surrendered to the crown as one of the main villains that caused the entire situation.
Both the captured Barbarian Chief and Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun reacted similarly, though not simultaneously. The former was shocked to see his king in this state, while the latter was astounded. Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun was aware of the Barbarian King's strength, to the point where it could be said that not even he could defeat such a being on his own.

In the underground dungeon...
Wang Xingmo went to view the two exceptional inmates in this dungeon once more. The barbarian chief appeared calm until he saw the limbless being carried behind him, and that is when Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun's eyes grew hateful.
Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun shouted, "Why the hell are you here again?!"
"I came to bring you both some gifts! I think you will like him to join you in this dark cell," Wang Xingmo said.
The Barbarian Chief, who had been silent the whole time, screamed at the being being dragged by these humans.
"King! What. did humans do to you?"
When Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun saw the present plight of the arrogant Barbarian King that he had aligned himself with, he too was shocked, unable to believe that this was how his story was going to finish.
"What the hell happened to him? Where are his arms and legs?" Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun asked.
Wang Xingmo answered, "How would I know? According to the information, he went to the Mo Clan and ended up like this. Funny, right? You are too foolish to get the barbarians involved with Lu and Mo Clans. All the barbarians you brought in were killed except for these two. Now that your party is complete, the punishment will be bestowed three days from now or maybe tomorrow.
How about you enjoy your last days? Ah! By the way, your whole clan will follow after you. They shall be uprooted to prevent future harm."
After tossing the limbless Barbarian King onto the ground beside the other two, the current king turns around, laughing at the conclusion of these three idiots—after all, even he dared not disturb the family of that pair.
Now that everything has been cleared up from yesterday, Heavenly Guardian Gu appears to have made it through his ordeals and defeated the six barbarian warriors in the life-and-death competition; he is fortunate to be alive despite having lost a few limbs.
Gu Hen, the current clan master of the Gu Clan, returned to his clan's territory as soon as he heard that all the barbarians had been killed, finding his father half-dead. After pledging his allegiance to the crown, Wang Xingmo gave him access to all the Imperial Doctors and Healers in the Palace, saving his father's life.
Though the population of the Lu Clan was five times greater than that of the Gu Clan, they managed to survive with the aid of two god-grade mounts and were only marginally more fortunate than the Gu Clan because the three Heavenly Guardians happened to be together at the time of the invasion.
As for what happened in the Mo Clan's Territory, no one can believe it. Lord Chaos told them it was Ye Jingxia who killed all the barbarians, including crippling the barbarian king. He was still out of sync after fighting that long and was taken away by an acquaintance of Lord Chaos to help him calm his murderous intent in fear of accidentally killing his relatives.
Lord Chaos, who was currently feeding his little princess, said, "Don't worry about Xiao Jing. The one who took him away was someone who would never harm him. After the boy calmed down, he would go home on his own."
"My lord, can you at least tell us who took him away? So we can explain things to his parents more clearly," Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang asked.
Lord Chaos said, "You're too persistent. Can't you just stay at home and heal your wound? Don't speak. It's annoying to hear your current voice."
The guy with the mask gave off a terrible aura, and Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang bowed his head. His eyes are quite icy and aloof when he speaks to them; only when he looks at Anxia or Ye Jingxia do they become kind and loving.
Anxia said, "Baba munch hahaha."
"Is it delicious, my baby girl?" Chaos asked with a soft voice and a gentle expression on his face, completely opposite of how he looked at the others before. For some reason, Anxia is also attached to him, which the Heavenly Guardians couldn't understand.
Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle whispered, "Why is Baby Anxia so close to him? Is it the face? Is it because the body he is using is the original vessel of her daddy?"
"Shut up. Don't move! Don't you want your arm anymore!?" Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue said.

Meanwhile, at the Tower of Gods...
The man in black robes, Tun Shizhe, sat on the throne, watching the bloodied little boy dispatch the Hell Creatures he had summoned; Ye Jingxia had gleefully torn them to pieces, laughing uncontrollably as he did so. The creatures were directly created using his aura, meaning they could regenerate several times, and he had even made it realistic with the blood and howls.
As he watched the event in front of him, the Second Prince Xingju was astounded, finding it hard to comprehend that a boy of that size could possess such strength and talent.
"What the hell is he? Is he still human? Those creatures of hell... I can barely defeat one at a time, and he is killing them as a group!" The Second Prince exclaimed.
Tun Shizhe glanced at the Second Prince Xingju with disdain and mocked him.
{Stop flattering yourself. Don't compare a mortal like you to my son.}
The Second Prince Xingju was shocked once again and was also a bit confused by this man's words.
"Son? Impossible! How can he be your son? That's the son of Satan. It cannot be your own son!?" Xingju strongly denied his words.
{Hm~ it depends on you, whatever you choose to believe. If I say Xiao Jing is my son, then he is.}
Second Prince Xingju was rendered speechless by this terrible god's revelation that Ye Jingxia was his son. He was so serious that he was unable to even respond.
"How can he be your son? Unless you are Satan himself."
Upon hearing this mumbled statement, Second Prince Xingju covered his mouth in doubt and disbelief, realizing that the man occupying the throne looked pleased at him as though telling him that for the first time in his life, he had become clever.

On the other hand, at the Aurora Glaciers...
Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing led the group after the second snowstorm passed, and they approached the glaciers from a distance. However, the closer they went, the more fiercely the beasts attacked them, and eventually they even entered the glaciers, where there were only a few snow-spotted reindeer at first, then snow wolves, a snow leopard, and a small family of polar bears.
While the other hunters were clearing a path for them, Mo Xuejing was extending his consciousness, looking for the Hellish strawberry they needed. He was trying to peek through the peak of the glaciers and frowned when he found nothing. The hunters of the two clans split into two groups, one led by Lu Shang and Leica. The other by Lu Ming and Mo Yuhan.
Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing, on the other hand, are keeping an eye on the huge hidden being from a distance.
Ye Jieye noticed his change of expression and understood his meaning. He asked, "Found nothing at the peak?"
"Hm. A'Ye, is there really what we need in this place? I'm worried about Anxia as we are both here. What should we do if her illness flares up?" Mo Xuejing asked worriedly.
Ye Jieye held his hand in comfort and said, "Don't worry. Isn't he there? If something really happened, Chaos would drag him out of the tower if needed. He can also use Hell flames like I do."
Sigh~
"We should finish up things here as soon as possible. I feel that something bad happened at home. Am I worrying too much?" Mo Xuejing said with eyes filled with anxiety.
Ye Jieye scowled at this point. He would never have believed anybody else if they had stated these things, but his wife was a different story. He knew that if he so desired, he could control both the past and the future, even though Mo Xuejing was only a fragment and he was not capable of doing so.
Then, as if in response to his dire prophecies, a couple of outside messengers entered their camp: one from the palace, based on the royal family's jade plaque, and the other from the Mo Clan, representing one of the elders who survived and personally visited the two successors.
Leica escorted the two messengers to the main camp, where Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing stayed, and Lu Shang shot a red flare in the sky, which took all of the nearby hunters and made them return. A red flare indicated an emergency summons, and they were all ordered to return to the camp. Lu Shang and Leica, who had welcomed the two, scowled when they heard the message.
Leica greets the two lords from the outside of the tent. "My lords, a messenger from the palace and an elder from the Mo Clan seek an audience."
"Let them in." Mo Xuejing's voice resounded from the tent.
Leica turned around and gestured for the two guests to enter. "Please go ahead. The Lords are inside."
Like Lu Shang, the palace messenger and the senior of the Mo Clan cupped their palms in Leica's direction, realizing that he was their equal and that he too was a direct subordinate of Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing.
The two were taken aback by the lovely couple, who greeted them as soon as they arrived at the camp. A young man with silver hair and silver eyes, dressed in pure white hunting clothes beside him, was a captivating man with a dangerous aura. He is a man with handsome features, particularly those pairs of obsidian irises with glints of crimson hidden within, which made him feel like a villain.
The Mo Clan senior was even more submissive to the pair, lowering his back in greeting, while the royal messenger was so terrified that he had to spit out his saliva.
"This old man greets the heir of Mo and the heir of Lu."
"Elder, why did you come here personally? Did something happen in the clan?" Mo Xuejing asked. "I've been having a bad feeling recently. Don't tell me something really happened."
"A'Mo, let them speak first. If something happens, I will finish the hunt right away so we can return as soon as possible," Ye Jieye said.
He speaks softly, as though he is worried about frightening the man he is holding. His expression softens as he comforts the man in his embrace. However, when his gaze dropped to the two guests, the depths of his eyes were cold and full of warning. Obviously, I am asking them to watch their words as they convey their message.
The messenger from the palace and the elder of the Mo Clan shivered under such eyes.
The thoughts of the two elders are, 'Satan is truly terrifying!"
