Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 226

Mo Xingyun was truly startled due to the fact that someone actually got so close to her, and yet she did not even notice it. As a person born and raised in a Devil Cultivating Family, she had to learn at a very young age to always be vigilant.

Otherwise she would not have survived for so long. Even with her status of the descendant of the Heaven Devouring Emperor, her family did not treat her better or give her preferential treatments. On the contrary, they trained even more ruthlessly.

After looking in the surroundings, Mo Xingyun had a frown on her face as she noticed that someone had deployed a powerful formation that surrounded her and the surrounding environment. At first she thought that she was being ambushed, but after a quick analysis of the array, she realized that it was placed only to prevent all the people that were watching the Tournament from seeing what was happening here.

Of course Mo Xingyun did not let her guard down.

A few seconds after checking the surrounding environment, Mo Xingyun saw an ordinary person walking to her. Although that person had a hood on his face, she could tell that it was a man, and she also had a feeling that something was wrong with that person, but she could not tell what it was.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" asked Mo Xingyun calmly. However, she had used her feet to secretly cast an origin spell to prepare to attack at any moment.

"There is no need for you to use any of your little schemes as I can see through them. And I can honestly tell you that this person is nothing but a meat bag that I am using to communicate with you. So, it does not matter if you destroy it."

Although her scheme was seen through, Mo Xingyun did not panic, nor did her facial expression changed; she kept her calm and collected demeanor.

"Since your excellency did not attack me despite having the capability, it can only mean that you want something from me. So, please be direct and stop wasting both of our time."

"Hehe, it is always refreshing to talk to smart people. You are indeed correct that I want something from you. To be exact, I want to make a deal with you."

"A deal? Please be more specific."

"I want you to create a Devouring Talisman for me with your blood essence," replied the hooded figure.

Mo Xingyun frowned after hearing this. As the person with the Heaven Devouring physique, she could make such a talisman, but to use her blood essence to do so...

"Your excellency, you should know that the blood essence of anyone with a special physique is quite special and would not be handed so easily. Adding to that all the terrible curses that need the blood essence of someone to take effect, I truly wonder what you will use to convince me otherwise."

The hooded shadow was silent for a brief moment, and Mo Xingyun had the feeling that he was smirking despite not seeing his facial expression.

"What I will exchange for this talisman is the news about the whereabouts of the Gluttony Swallowing Scripture."

"Your excellency, you must take me for a fool!" replied Mo Xingyun calmly. "It is common knowledge that my ancestor, the Heaven Devouring Emperor did not leave his Emperor Scripture behind, so how could you know about its whereabouts?" replied Mo Xingyun calmly--despite the fact that her heart was rapidly racing.

"You are partially correct about that," replied the hooded shadow with a rigid voice. "Do you know the origin of the Gluttony Swallowing Scripture?"

"Wasn’t my ancestor who created it?"

"Not really. The original scripture was created by a Devil God during the Devil Era and left his inheritance in the Myriad Emperor World. During one of your ancestor’s fortunate encounters, he got a copy of the scripture, however he only received half of it.

"Later, after your ancestor got his hand on one of the [Twelve Ancestral Talismans] created by the Talisman Ancestor, he combined his understanding of it to finish the second half of the scripture and even created the Heaven Devour Physique--which you inherited.

"Although the Heaven Devour Physique was not acknowledged by Heavenly Dao, it was still a powerful Acquired Physique that could compare to the top 3 Heavenly Physique. And the Gluttony Swallowing Scripture he created eventually became even more powerful than the original."

Mo Xingyun had a frown on her face as her thoughts began to run rapidly. She remembered hearing rumors that her ancestor had indeed acquired the [Swallowing Talisman] in his youth--which was one of the 12 Ancestral Talismans that the Talisman Ancestor left in the Myriad Emperor World after proving the Dao back in the Ancient Emperor Era.

However, there was no evidence to prove otherwise, and anyone who truly knew the truth was probably already killed.

After reigning in her thoughts, Mo Xingyun then said; "So what you are offering is not the scripture created by my Ancestor?"
