The Grand Emperor didn't need a reason at all. From his point of view, demon beasts shouldn't exist, so why would he need a reason to destroy them?
He just didn't expect Mo Rongzhan to disobey orders and not attack the celestial castle.
"I don't need a reason. The crimes committed by the celestial castle on the mortal continent are enough for them to be destroyed a hundred times over," the Grand Emperor said solemnly. The Grand Emperor said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, is that Ye Zhen in the human continent Little Yao?"
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. "So what if she is? Little Yao's soul was destroyed ten thousand years ago. Ye Zhen is Ye Zhen, and Little Yao is Little Yao. They can't be considered the same person."
"That youth called Mingxi is your son with Ye Zhen?" The Grand Emperor narrowed his eyes. If he couldn't control Mo Rongzhan, he had to know his son's weakness. It used to be Little Yao, but now it was Ye Zhen and her son.
"Didn't you ask Western Chi God General to investigate?" Mo Rongzhan replied.
"I want Mingxi to return to the Nine Heavens. Since he's your son, he shouldn't stay in the mortal continent," the Grand Emperor said. He heard from Western Chi God General that Mingxi was extremely talented. If he was nurtured well, he wouldn't lose to Mo Rongzhan in the future.
He wanted to nurture an obedient grandson, unlike Mo Rongzhan, who only knew how to disobey his orders.
"Mingxi grew up in the mortal continent and hasn't gone through any trials. He's not suitable for the Nine Heavens," Mo Rongzhan said plainly. He wasn't worried that Western Chi would bring Mingxi to the Nine Heavens.
"What's there to train in the mortal continent? How can it compare to the Nine Heavens?" the Grand Emperor said.
Mo Rongzhan said, "That's why this is a test."
The Grand Emperor could tell that Mo Rongzhan didn't want his son to go to the Nine Heavens. It was mostly because of Ye Zhen.
"Then, tell me, what's the matter with the little white dragon?" The Grand Emperor asked. Although Western Chi found out Ye Zhen and Mingxi's identities, he couldn't find out how the little white dragon came to the mortal continent.
"We met the little white dragon in the sky above the Flame Region, and it followed us to the mortal continent." Mo Rongzhan said simply. As for the details of how they met, he didn't think it was necessary to tell the Grand Emperor.
The Grand Emperor held his breath. He knew that Mo Rongzhan was trying to hide it, but he couldn't do anything to his son.
"Grand Emperor, do you have any other instructions?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Since you can't kill Wen Tian, go find the whereabouts of the dragon race. Without my order, don't go to the mortal continent," the Grand Emperor ordered.
He knew that he could no longer control his son ten thousand years ago. It was impossible for him to make Mo Rongzhan obedient, but he could not let him be too arrogant.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking for the Dragon Race? "I will find a way to find the dragons."
The Grand Emperor thought that once he found the dragon race, he could use the wrath of the White Dragon King to seal Wen Tian like he did back then. Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was going to fail this time.
After leaving the Numinous Sky Hall, Mo Rongzhan returned to his palace. He didn't immediately return to the human continent. If he did, the Grand Emperor would definitely be furious. Although he didn't care what the Grand Emperor was thinking, it was better to avoid him.
"Young Emperor, you're back." Ba Dao was waiting for Mo Rongzhan in the main hall.
"Did you find him?" Mo Rongzhan asked plainly. When he met Quan Xian in the Desolate Hell, he told him to go to the mortal continent to find Ye Zhen. However, he found out that Quan Xian didn't go to the mortal continent, and there was no sign of him in the Desolate Hell. That was why he asked Ba Dao to find out.
Ba Dao said, "I went to the Ruoshui River to look for him. Quan Xian had indeed left. I'm afraid he was captured midway."
Who would capture Quan Xian?
Mo Rongzhan was very sure that Quan Xian wasn't in the mortal continent. He didn't go to find Ye Zhen, nor was he in the Heaven Castle. Besides the Desolate Hell, he had nowhere else to go.
"Find out who captured him," Mo Rongzhan said.
"Young Emperor, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find out." After all, he disappeared in the Ruoshui River. Those who could reach the Ruoshui River were most likely the god generals of the Nine Heavens, so they would have to investigate the entire Nine Heavens.
Mo Rongzhan said, "We have to investigate even if it's not easy."
He didn't believe that Quan Xian would disappear for no reason. The god generals of the Nine Heavens all knew that he was the one who brought Quan Xian here. Since they dared to capture him, it meant that they were after him.
"Alright, I'll investigate again," Ba Dao said.
Mo Rongzhan sat down and remembered what Queen Mother of the West told him. "Is Xi Chi back?"
"He's back, but he was sent to the mortal continent by the Grand Emperor. Don't worry, Young Emperor, he won't be able to find out about Ming Yu," Ba Dao said in a low voice.
It was impossible to hide Ming Yu's existence, but the Grand Emperor would find out sooner or later. Now that Ming Yu had Poshi and White Tiger by his side, he should be safe.
He was more worried about Ming Xi. The Grand Emperor probably didn't like Ming Yu's mortal physique, but Ming Xi was different. He was extremely talented, so the Grand Emperor would definitely want to bring him to the Nine Heavens.
If he knew that Ming Xi had inherited the bloodline of the Dragon Slayer Clan, he might not tolerate him. He might even use Ming Xi to deal with the dragon race.
No matter what the possibility was, he didn't want Ming Xi to suffer.
"Do you know what Lu Wushuang did?" Mo Rongzhan asked. Queen Mother of the West had said that Lu Wushuang had gone to the mortal continent, but he hadn't seen her. It seemed like she was plotting something in the dark.
He suspected that Quan Xian's disappearance had something to do with Lu Wushuang, but he couldn't be sure without evidence.
Ba Dao said, "The Astral Maiden and the rest went to look for her, but there was no news of her. Young Emperor, could it be that High Goddess Wushuang isn't even in the mortal continent?"
It would be a problem if she couldn't find her.
"She wants to stir up the conflict between the demon beasts and Wen Tian. Get Horn Heart to keep an eye on the demon beasts outside the celestial castle. In the past, the great demon beasts didn't submit to the celestial castle willingly. That was because they were forced by the divine race. It's different now, unless Wen Tian can completely defeat them." Mo Rongzhan said, "I don't think Wen Tian has the intention to unify the continent. Those great demon beasts might not submit to the celestial castle anymore."
If they didn't submit to the celestial castle, they naturally wouldn't listen to Wen Tian's orders. With their tyrannical nature, they would probably start a riot in the mortal continent again.
He was just curious which great demon beast Lu Wushuang wanted to replace Wen Tian in subduing the other demon beasts. Without a leader, the great demon beasts couldn't do anything. However, great demon beasts were arrogant by nature and considered themselves to be the best in the world. Besides Wen Tian, who else could control them?
"Young Emperor, then … are we not going back to the mortal continent?" Ba Dao asked.
Mo Rongzhan said, "The Grand Emperor wants me to find the dragon race."
"…" Wasn't the Grand Emperor making things difficult for them? If it was so easy to find the dragon race, they would have been found long ago.
"I'm going to find the dragon race. You stay here," Mo Rongzhan said plainly. Mo Rongzhan said plainly, "Tell me immediately which god general the Grand Emperor is sending to attack the heavenly castle."
Ba Dao didn't want to stay in the Nine Heavens at all. "Young Emperor, why don't I find Quan Xian's whereabouts?"
"Quan Xian might be in the Nine Heavens. Look for him carefully."
"…"
