Mo Xiao stared at the six landmarks on the map and said, “After finding Broken Cliff, the Fire Spring Mountain Range, the Blue Lake Glacier, the demonic cave, and the Sleeping Island, I finally deduced the location of the last array point.”
Mo Xiao’s hand landed on the skull’s eyebrows.
And that was the northernmost part of the map.
The artist who made the map drew a towering black tower at the northernmost end of the map.
Mo Xiao looked at Yu Huang and said, “You should know this place.”
Yu Huang nodded slowly and said with a complicated tone, “Central Pagoda.”
“That’s right.”
Mo Xiao stared at the six coordinates on the map and said, “The Central Pagoda is between the eyebrows of the skull, the demonic cave and the Sleeping Island are the ears of the skull, the Fire Spring Mountain Range and the Blue Lake Glacier are the eyes of the skull, and the Broken Cliff is the mouth of the skull.” At this point, I have found all six array points of the Luck Seizing Array.”
Yu Huang grabbed the edge of the table tightly with both hands. She said, “Is my father also one of the Prime Master bones?”
Mo Xiao nodded.
Mo Xiao said, “Back then, when your father self-destructed his beast form in the Central Pagoda, I couldn’t figure out what happened inside. It was only a few days ago, when I discovered that the Central Pagoda was one of the array points of the Luck Seizing Array, that I finally guessed why the Central Pagoda was in chaos back then.”
Mo Xiao turned his head to look at Yu Huang and stared at her sad face. He said, “That person deliberately started a massacre in the Central Pagoda to lure your father into the pagoda to save people. He deliberately forced your father to self-destruct his beast form. Only then could he have a powerful and perfect Prime Master bone.”
After a pause, Mo Xiao continued, “Your father’s soul is in the Central Pagoda. While he protects all living beings, his spiritual power is also being devoured by that person day by day.”
Not daring to think about her father’s encounter before he died, Yu Huang closed her eyes.
Seeing that Yu Huang was emotionally unstable, Mo Xiao remained silent.
Soon, Yu Huang calmed herself down. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Mo Xiao sharply. She asked, “Who is the array core?”
Mo Xiao looked at Yu Huang speechlessly. His blue eyes were filled with unwillingness and resignation.
When Yu Huang saw Mo Xiao’s gaze, she immediately understood everything. “Godfather, you’re the array core, right?”
Mo Xiao suddenly unbuttoned his shirt and pulled open his collar, revealing his fair chest. Then, Mo Xiao closed his eyes and mobilized the spiritual power in his body. When his spiritual power circulated, a skull that looked like an ink painting suddenly appeared on his chest.
Yu Huang stared at the skull in a daze and heard Mo Xiao say, “Back then, after that person killed Bai Zhenzhen, he wanted to use She Ying’s feelings for me to make her the last Prime Master bone. At that time, my will suddenly became stronger. After a ten-year struggle, I regained the initiative of my body.”
“It took me another twenty years to force him out of my Spiritual Abode world. After he left, I discovered that this skull would appear on my chest every time I cultivated. However, I didn’t know that I was actually the core of the Luck Seizing Array. It was only a while ago that I discovered this truth.”
Mo Xiao fastened his clothes and buttoned them while mentioning to Yu Huang, “Do you know why there have been fewer and fewer children who have successfully awakened their beast form in the Holy Spirit Continent in the past hundred years?”
Yu Huang subconsciously said, “Isn’t it because Su Xuanye poisoned them with the Spirit Restraining Parasite?”
Mo Xiao shook his head and laughed. “How can Su Xuanye have so many Spirit Restraining Parasites? Spirit Restraining Parasites are only one of the reasons for this outcome, but the main reason is actually me.” After Mo Xiao finished buttoning his shirt, he suddenly asked Yu Huang a question. “Isn’t everyone curious why my cultivation has been stagnant for hundreds of years?”
Yu Huang nodded. “Many people are suspicious of this.”
Mo Xiao told Yu Huang the truth. He said, “Ever since I became that person’s array core, no matter how much I cultivated, I couldn’t feel my cultivation improving. In the beginning, I couldn’t understand the reason either. It was only when I discovered that I was the array core some time ago that I guessed the truth. The reason my cultivation level didn’t increase was because every bit of energy I tried my best to absorb was transferred to that person’s body through the Luck Seizing Array. What I absorbed was the luck of the Holy Spirit Continent.”
Mo Xiao pressed his forehead with his hand and said in pain and frustration, “Because I helped that person snatch the luck of the continent, there were fewer and fewer Beast Tamers in this world. Ah Huang, I’m a sinner.”
Yu Huang didn’t expect that this was the truth behind the decreasing number of Beast Tamers on the continent.
She couldn’t imagine how pained Mo Xiao was when he discovered that he was the reason for this.
“Godfather…” Yu Huang asked Mo Xiao,” Did you tell the Alliance about this? ”
Mo Xiao shook his head.
“Why didn’t you say so?” Yu Huang couldn’t understand Mo Xiao’s actions. She said, “Only telling them the truth will clear your name. Only by publicly exposing that person’s scheme can we think of a countermeasure together! Are you really willing to let the world suspect you?”
Was he willing?
Of course he was unwilling.
“I’m unwilling, but what can I do about it?” Then, Mo Xiao revealed something else to Yu Huang. He said, “The travel development company that discovered the Prime Master Bone in the Fire Spring Mountain Range and the exploration team that discovered the Prime Master Bone in the Blue Lake Glacier were both teams that I secretly asked Lin Feng to invest in.”
Yu Huang’s first reaction was confusion, but immediately after, she understood Mo Xiao’s true intentions.
Yu Huang could clearly feel her throat instantly tighten and become dry and sore. Yu Huang said in disbelief, “Godfather, you deliberately let people discover the burial places of Senior Dongfang Sile and Bai Zhenzhen? Then… the mastermind who paid fake reviewers online and deliberately led everyone to suspect you was yourself?”
Mo Xiao said, “…It was me.”
