Chapter 228 Dark Waves Surge
Chapter 228 Dark Waves Surge
"Your Highness, something bad has happened!"
My niece hurried over, holding a secret report. Since the last Demon God War, such reports had been coming in almost daily. But judging by her anxious expression, this time the situation was particularly serious.
"What's going on?" Mo Yunchen was teaching Mo Tianyou to read. This year-old child had already demonstrated amazing comprehension.
"A mysterious organization suddenly appeared among the people. They called themselves 'Messengers of Heaven' and spread the doctrine of Heaven's Mandate everywhere!"
The third lady immediately became alert: "What did they say?"
"They say..." the niece lowered her voice, "that they were sent by God to assist the Prince of Heaven, and they claim to be able to predict the direction of destiny."
Mo Yunchen and the third young lady looked at each other: These people were obviously coming for Mo Tianyou.
At this moment, the old Taoist from Kunlun suddenly appeared: "You came so quickly, earlier than I expected."
“Senior, do you know these people?”
"Of course," the old Taoist sighed, "they are a bunch of lunatics. They are obsessed with controlling destiny and will stop at nothing to achieve it. After their defeat in the last battle against the demons, they must have changed their strategy."
As they were talking, my cousin also brought new news: those "messengers of destiny" not only spread the word among the people, but also secretly contacted various forces. They claimed that they could help people see through the mysteries of heaven and predict good and bad luck.
"These people..." the Third Miss sneered, "They have a good plan."
Indeed, through this method, they can win people's hearts and minds, gather information, and more importantly, develop their power in secret.
But something unexpected happened! As they were talking, Mo Tianyou suddenly started crying. This usually well-behaved child rarely cried for no reason.
"What happened to Tianyou?" The third lady hurried to check.
Mo Tianyou pointed out the window, his face filled with fear. Everyone followed his finger and saw a black aura slowly rising from the distant sky.
"Not good!" The old Taoist's face changed drastically. "It's a curse! Someone is using evil methods to spy on destiny!"
Sure enough, the black energy rose higher and higher, and finally transformed into a giant eye! The eye exuded a cold aura and looked directly at the palace.
"Looking for death!" the old Taoist shouted angrily, and a dazzling light burst out from his palm.
But at this moment, Mo Tianyou suddenly stopped crying. He waved his little hand, and the power of destiny in his body unexpectedly took the initiative to protect the master, forming a golden barrier!
"This..." Everyone was stunned.
The golden barrier not only blocked the black energy's prying eyes, but also struck back! A golden light pierced through the clouds and struck the evil eye directly.
"Ah!" A scream came from a distance.
The evil eye shattered instantly, and the black energy dispersed. But what was even more surprising was that when the golden light fell, it actually revealed the location of the caster!
"There!" Miss San's eyes lit up. "Send someone to catch him!"
The guards immediately went out and quickly brought back a man. He was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance, but his eyes were completely destroyed.
"Tell me! Who ordered you to do that?" Mo Yunchen asked coldly.
"It's...it's the messenger of destiny..." the middle-aged man said tremblingly, "They said that as long as I lend a hand to them, I can get everything I want..."
"Oh," the old Taoist sneered, "you people are blinded by such false promises."
As he was speaking, news came in from outside: Similar spying was happening simultaneously in various places! Those "messengers of destiny" seemed determined to explore the secrets of destiny.
"It seems we have to take drastic measures," Mo Yunchen's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Pass the order and strictly investigate the whereabouts of these people. In addition..." He looked at the third lady, "You and Tianyou will temporarily move to the inner hall to live."
But the Third Miss shook her head: "No need, with Tianming's blessing, they can't hurt us. Besides..." She looked at her son in her arms, "Tianyou doesn't seem to want to hide either."
Indeed, Mo Tianyou was blinking his big eyes and smiling innocently at this moment. But everyone knew that within this seemingly innocent child, there was a great power hidden.
At this moment, the old Taoist suddenly said, "But you still have to be careful. Since these people dare to act so brazenly, they must have a backup plan."
Sure enough, new news came not long after: those "messengers of destiny" began to spread prophecies among the people, saying that the world would undergo great changes and only by following the true emperor could they be saved.
"They're trying to seduce the people," the Third Miss sneered, "to gather strength this way."
"More than that," the old Taoist said solemnly, "they are probably preparing for some big move."
As he was speaking, a sudden fragrance wafted over. Mo Tianyou immediately frowned, and the power of destiny automatically protected the master again!
"Oh no!" the old Taoist shouted, "It's the Ecstasy Incense!"
Everyone then realized that a faint fragrance had filled the hall. The fragrance was so strange that anyone who smelled it would feel drowsy.
"Fortunately, the power of destiny discovered it in time," the old Taoist said, "otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Soon, the guards apprehended several suspicious individuals outside the palace. After interrogation, they discovered they were spies planted by the "Messenger of Destiny." They were attempting to seize the opportunity to kidnap Mo Tianyou!
"These people," the Third Miss said angrily, "are really willing to do anything!"
But what is even more surprising is that when the investigation continued, it was discovered that many of these people were close confidants of important officials in the court!
"So that's how it is," Mo Yunchen sneered, "They want to cut off the source of the trouble."
Indeed, by bribing court officials, these people could not only obtain information but also influence court decisions. In this way, even if they could not directly obtain the Mandate of Heaven, they could still interfere from the sidelines.
"But they miscalculated one thing," said the Third Miss. "The power of destiny will not recognize a thief as a father."
As he was speaking, Mo Tianyou suddenly pointed in a direction and said in a baby voice: "There... the bad guys..."
Everyone immediately understood: someone was secretly casting a spell again! But this time they were prepared, having already laid a tight net.
"Get started!" Mo Yunchen gave the order.
The masters who had been lying in ambush immediately attacked. Before those "messengers of destiny" hiding in the shadows could react, they were all captured in one fell swoop.
"Finally, we've caught some of the ones who slipped through the net," the old Taoist said, "but we still have to be careful. Their true purpose may not be revealed yet."
Sure enough, when interrogating those people, they found that they were just peripheral members. The real core figures were still hiding in the dark and seemed to be planning a larger conspiracy.
"Keep investigating!" Mo Yunchen ordered, "We must find their lair!"
At this moment, Mo Tianyou suddenly said something that stunned everyone: "Daddy... don't be afraid... I'm..."
This one-year-old child actually said something so inappropriate for his age!
"This..." The third young lady looked at her son in surprise.
The old Taoist smiled with satisfaction. "It seems that the power of destiny not only gives him strength, but also gives him wisdom beyond his age. With such a true prince, those who try to interfere with destiny will ultimately waste their efforts."
Mo Yunchen nodded: "But we still have to be careful. Since these people dare to take advantage of Tianming, they will definitely go all out."
The third lady hugged Mo Tianyou tightly and said, "Don't worry, with us here, no one can hurt Tianyou."
Looking at the innocent child in her arms, Miss San sighed: This is her son, a child destined to be extraordinary. Although the road ahead is difficult, with so many people protecting him, he will definitely make a name for himself!
