To put it bluntly, the Illusionary Moon Convention was a way for the royal family to win people over. After all, they had already obtained the benefits that the royal family deserved. As for the remaining 20%, if the royal family still wanted to take it for themselves, it would obviously cause dissatisfaction among the other forces. Thus, it was better to just take it out and let the other forces compete for it. This way, not only could it dispel the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the other forces, it could also win them over and make them more loyal to the royal family.
Of course, regarding the Illusionary Moon Fruit, the biggest winner was obviously the Tianfeng Shengzong. They didn't need to do anything and could directly take away 40%. However, there was no other way. Tianfeng Shengzong was a Sage Sect and had a Saint overseeing it.
He had already sent people to the City Lord's Mansion to purchase the Illusionary Moon Convention's invitation. To the Burning Sky Ruler, the Illusionary Moon Fruit was definitely a treasure. At least, no one in the Heavenly Chen Continent had ever heard of it. Moreover, it could increase the spiritual power capacity of a cultivator's dantian. This was truly heaven-defying. Although it couldn't directly allow everyone to break through, it could increase everyone's battle strength.
He was full of confidence and could only send out Sky Realm cultivators. As such, who in the Moonless Empire could be Xiao Chen's opponent?
He only planned to send out Xiao Chen. Just as the Burning Sky Ruler sent people to purchase the invitation, on the other side, in the Wu Family's Mansion, Wu De's residence, Wu Fu, who had been busy investigating Xiao Chen's identity, was currently respectfully reporting the situation to Wu De.
Originally, there should have been a result long ago, but Wu Fu had always been cautious, so he repeatedly investigated Xiao Chen's identity. After confirming that there was no mistake, he came to report to Wu De.
According to Wu Fu's investigation, Xiao Chen and the others seemed to have appeared out of thin air. He couldn't find out their identities at all. He only knew that before entering the Moon Trace City, they had killed a group of bandits on the Illusionary Moon Plain. As for what happened before that, Wu Fu knew nothing.
This was natural. Xiao Chen and the others weren't people of the Heavenly River Continent. It would be strange if Wu Fu could find out.
It was indeed too strange. It was as if a group of people had appeared out of thin air. Hearing Wu Fu's words, Wu De's complexion sank as he said, "How is this possible? How can dozens of people not be able to find any clues? Could it be that they all popped out from the cracks in the rocks? "
"Young master, this old servant also feels that this matter is strange. However, this old servant has already used all of the Wu family's channels to investigate. In the end, we still came up empty-handed," Hearing Wu De's words, Wu Fu said in a rather helpless manner.
He had already exhausted all his resources to investigate, but he still couldn't find any clues. Hearing this, Wu De didn't say anything else. He already knew that Xiao Chen and the others had bought a mansion in Moon Trace City and were now living in Moon Trace City.
After exhorting for a long time, Wu De said in a low voice, "Uncle Fu, in your opinion, why can't we find out their identities?"
"Young master, for such a situation to occur, there are actually only two possibilities. The first is that this group of people really don't have any status and are merely villagers from an unknown small mountain village." Hearing Wu De's words, Wu Fu opened his mouth to reply.
"What about the second one?" Wu De asked.
"The second one is that their status has already exceeded the level that the Wu family can come into contact with. That's why we can't find out. And this level of status has probably already surpassed the Moonless Empire and reached straight to Glory Sect." Wu Fu said. When he mentioned the two words' Glory Sect ', Wu Fu's face turned slightly serious.
Any faction that dared to have the word 'Glory' in their name was definitely an existence that couldn't be trifled with. They were definitely the overlords of a region.
Wu De spoke the thoughts in his heart. Hearing Wu Fu's words, Wu De's expression turned even more complicated. He had been holding a grudge in his heart all this while.
According to Wu De's character, how could he possibly tolerate this? In Moon Trace City, it had always been him, Wu De Huai, who was the one who helped others. Since when had anyone dared to spoil his plans?
However, even though he was holding a grudge in his heart, Wu De indeed didn't dare to take the risk. The development of the situation was a little strange and completely unexpected.
Just as Wu Fu had said, there were generally only two possibilities for such a situation. If it was the first possibility, Wu Fu definitely wouldn't have the slightest scruples and could directly kill Xiao Chen. But if it was the second possibility, Wu Fu didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he acted rashly. If Xiao Chen and the others were really related to Glory Sect, then it wouldn't be strange if the Wu family couldn't find out. But if the Wu family dared to make a move on someone from Glory Sect, then the consequences …
He was in a dilemma. But at this moment, Wu Fu spoke up.
"Actually, Young Master, you don't have to do this. I've received news that they have already gone to the City Lord's Residence to purchase an invitation letter for the Fantasy Moon Competition. This time, the Fantasy Moon Competition is hosted by His Royal Highness, the Third Prince. With Miss's position in the Third Prince's heart, wouldn't it be an easy task to deal with this kid in the Fantasy Moon Competition?"
"Moreover, even if these people really have a great background, it has nothing to do with our Wu family. The Royal Family will naturally take care of it."
Wu Fu had already received news that Xiao Chen and the others were preparing to participate in the Fantasy Moon Competition and had already purchased an invitation letter from the City Lord's Residence. Therefore, he proposed to make a move on the Fantasy Moon Competition, and it was the Third Prince who would do it.
In fact, the reason why the Wu Clan was able to develop into a large clan second only to the City Lord's Mansion in Moon Trace City was entirely due to Wu De's elder sister. This girl was born with natural beauty, and was accepted into the Imperial Capital's Royal Academy at the mere age of twelve. Thereafter, she got to know the current Emperor's Third Prince in the Royal Academy, and eventually became the Third Prince's woman.
Relying on the Third Prince's power and influence, Wu De's elder sister's status naturally rose along with the tide. With one person ascending to the Dao, even her fowls and dogs ascending to the Heavens, the Wu Family naturally grew rapidly.
The person in charge of hosting the Fantasy Moon Competition this time was the Third Prince. Hearing Wu Fu's words, Wu De immediately rejoiced in his heart. He excitedly stood up and sneered, "Good, good idea. Uncle Fu, people always say that the older the ginger, the spicier it is. Indeed, it is so. I'll go look for my sister right now."
Originally, he was still guessing the identity of Xiao Chen and the others. However, there was no need for that now. Uncle Fu's idea could be said to be extremely perfect.
After speaking, without waiting for Wu Fu to reply, Wu De immediately rushed out of the room with large strides and headed straight for his sister's residence. On the way, Wu De constantly sneered in his heart.
"Haha, truly reckless. After offending me, you actually want to participate in the Fantasy Moon Competition. Good, very good. This time, I will definitely make you die in the Fantasy Moon Competition. After all, the Fantasy Moon Competition doesn't say that killing is prohibited."
He thought that he was infallible and thought that he could kill Xiao Chen. Little did he know that Wu De's action was personally pushing the Wu family into an abyss of eternal damnation.
