第1328章 天王失踪谜

Li Fan was deeply engrossed in the conversation, his mind racing with thoughts and questions.

"Could it be that there's some connection between this and what happened to the true immortal in the Celestial Void?" he wondered aloud.

"But an incident like this occurred a million years ago, and even if the outer wall is affecting time flow differently, it would still have been tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. That doesn't seem right," Li Fan thought, feeling uneasy about his earlier conclusion.

"However, from what Brother Mo said, the methods used by the forces outside the wall to hunt true immortals have indeed improved a lot. The Celestial King wasn't a proper true immortal and still managed to send a warning message after encountering trouble. But that true immortal in the Celestial Void was an actual true immortal who had spent countless years meditating there, perhaps even approaching the realm of nameless true immortals. Yet, he ended up worse off," Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

Mo Yu remained silent as he recounted what happened to Brother Mo. "When I arrived at the scene where the statue was displayed, the hall had already been destroyed."

"The stone statue of the True Face..."

"Suddenly took on a face!"

"The head fell to the ground, severed by an invisible blade, rolling aside. The solitary stone head's features were identical to those of Brother Mo!"

Mo Yu's words left Li Fan in shock.

"What... happened next?"

The atmosphere was thick with mystery as Li Fan asked.

"Initially, we all thought it was the True Face who harmed the Celestial King. But over time, during our escape, I began to feel something wasn't right," Mo Yu said gravely.

"After that, I risked everything and found a remaining Celestial King statue. I tried contacting the True Face using the methods Brother Mo once taught me..."

Li Fan gasped in surprise: "Friend, you truly risked your life for this!"

Mo Yu ignored Li Fan's praise and continued: "True immortals generally don't bother with us mere mortals. As expected, my first attempt at communication received no response."

"But I didn't give up. Instead, I kept trying for three years, initiating contacts every moment of the day..."

Li Fan understood immediately.

"Even if they disdain us, true immortals would surely be enraged by constant interruptions and punish us. Based on what I know about the True Face, he has that capability."

"But there was no response."

"It's as though it was just an ordinary stone statue for three years with no replies at all."

"So, I guessed that after that day, not only did the Celestial King suffer a major blow, but even the True Face himself might have been injured!"

"The reason why the statue of the True Face showed Brother Mo's face and had its head cut off..."

Li Fan found it hard to believe: "Could it be because the True Face intervened and helped the Celestial King avoid disaster?"

Mo Yu nodded. "This is also why I'm certain that Brother Mo is still alive. Although their paths diverged, from what he revealed in his words, they got along well. And as true immortals, helping each other isn't impossible."

Li Fan remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he shook his head and denied it: "This is just your guess."

"I originally thought that the Celestial King's opponent who caused him trouble might have been at most another half-immortal. If a true immortal or even a more powerful entity had intervened, the chance of the Celestial King surviving would be too small!" Li Fan said dejectedly.

"Based solely on your guess, it's hard to convince anyone."

Seeing that Li Fan wasn't budging, Mo Yu hesitated for a long time before adding: "Not just a guess. The感应 I felt from Brother Mo told me he was still alive in the world."

Mo Yu spoke vaguely and didn't elaborate further.

Li Fan wanted to ask more details but Mo Yu refused to say anything else.

"Qing Ming珠?" Li Fan guessed inwardly.

"Fine, if you're so certain, then I'll believe you this once!" Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of Mo Yu, Li Fan pretended to think for a long time and then said with relief: "Anyway, I don't have much time left anyway. It's just one last attempt."

"From your actions, it seems you're not the traitor from the Celestial King's sect. Perhaps we can cooperate to find out where the Celestial King is."

Li Fan stared intently at Mo Yu.

"You know a lot about the Celestial King but are very unfamiliar with today's world. A million years have passed, and much has changed. The arrangements left by the Celestial King's sect might have disappeared due to the upheaval of the mountains and rivers."

"I've already searched through this entire world over these years. I can directly lead you to areas worth checking, greatly increasing our chances of finding him."

"And the remnants of the Ten Elders' faction still control half of the world as the Five Elders Association. Without my cooperation, even if your strength is formidable, you'll inevitably face many troubles," Li Fan said.
