Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2950: We Give It to You, Then It’s Yours

Lin Moyu took a few steps back, creating some distance. The distance was short, only about twenty meters. For a Dao Sovereign, this was almost face-to-face. Chi Lie said, “It’s too small here, let’s change places.” Lin Moyu shook his head, “No need, this is big enough to deal with you. If you want to compete, stop talking and make your move.” Chi Lie’s eyes flared with anger, and he told his clansmen, “Step back.”

The clansmen immediately retreated, giving Chi Lie space. Chi Lie let out a low growl, his aura surging as he shed his human form and revealed his true form. He transformed into a giant flame bird, letting out a piercing cry and soaring into the sky. The commotion immediately caught the attention of the major demon clans. The demons rose into the air, looking towards Lin Moyu’s direction. Chi Lie circled in the air before transforming into a meteor and crashing towards Lin Moyu. The air burned fiercely, leaving a trail of fire in the sky. The fire line expanded into a fire cloud, turning a large area red. The terrifying aura of a Dao Sovereign spread all around. The ground turned to scorched earth, with countless tongues of flame engulfing everything. Chi Lie, as a flaming bird, sped up, crashing directly into Lin Moyu.

Boom! The ground seemed to melt, the power of a Dao Sovereign covering a thousand miles. Fortunately, the houses were made of special materials and reinforced with formations, remaining unharmed in the fire. Many spectators, caught off guard, were immediately engulfed in flames, screaming as they dodged. The demon clan was like this: either they didn’t fight, or they fought with all their might.

“This guy, could he be dead?”

“Chi Lie’s strike reached the peak of Dao Sovereign Third Realm. This guy is only Dao Sovereign Second Realm; if he doesn’t dodge, he’s dead for sure.”

“Even with a protective treasure, if he’s not dead, he’ll be seriously injured.”

“Hard to say, look at that human Dao Sovereign, he doesn’t seem worried.”

The demons discussed among themselves, noticing that Lu Zeng stood amidst the flames, unconcerned. He seemed to be watching a show. As the flames gradually dissipated, the spectators were shocked. Lin Moyu stood unharmed, holding Chi Lie by the neck with one hand. Chi Lie struggled wildly, his wings flapping, and his claws striking Lin Moyu, but they couldn’t even tear his clothes. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t escape Lin Moyu’s grasp.

Lin Moyu smiled, “I advise you to stop struggling. A little force, and your neck will break. You don’t want to be a headless young master, do you?” At these words, Chi Lie stopped struggling. Lin Moyu smiled, “Admit defeat, and I’ll let you go!” After a moment, Chi Lie’s voice squeezed out from his throat, “I admit defeat!” Lin Moyu chuckled and released Chi Lie. Chi Lie immediately retreated a few steps, watching Lin Moyu warily. In his eyes, besides wariness, there was fear. This human seemed ordinary but was terrifyingly powerful. His attack had no effect on him.

Lin Moyu waved his hand, and a ball of life force flew into the sky, exploding into a gentle rain that fell to the ground. The previously scorched ancient trees regenerated, coming back to life. Everyone was shocked; this demonstrated that Lin Moyu possessed a Great Dao with healing abilities, and it was terrifyingly powerful. “What kind of spell is this? Is it the Great Dao of Life?” “From what I know, no spell has such an effect, it must be the Great Dao of Life!” “He has amazing combat power and the Great Dao of Life; this guy is tough.” “In the same realm, his combat power must be top-notch.”

Lin Moyu acted as if he had done something trivial, saying to Chi Lie, “Some things are yours if they’re yours, and you can’t force them if they’re not. The slots here, if we give them to you, then they’re yours. If we don’t, you can’t take them.” “When I come out of the treasury, I’ll visit your ancestral land, so prepare yourself and don’t make a fuss.” Chi Lie, like a defeated rooster, left dejectedly, without the momentum he had when he came. The Dao Sovereign Fourth Realm who accompanied him gave Lin Moyu a deep look. However, Lin Moyu didn’t care, knowing that the Flame Bird clan wouldn’t dare make a move. Moreover, when he visited their ancestral land, they could only welcome him. They couldn’t afford to offend the Lu Feng Merchant Guild, and the entire demon clan didn’t want to offend them. Otherwise, how could the Lu Feng Merchant Guild get slots for the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury? Given the demon clan’s nature, it must be because the Lu Feng Merchant Guild was too powerful, forcing them to comply. Lin Moyu understood this well, so he didn’t care about the Flame Bird clan’s feelings.

Returning to Lu Zeng’s side, Lin Moyu asked, “Senior, what’s the use of Crimson Flame Essence?” Lu Zeng said, “I see Mr. Lin is likely cultivating his physical body. Crimson Flame Essence can enhance the body to some extent.” So it’s a treasure for enhancing the body, indeed a good thing. Lin Moyu said, “Chi Lie said their Crimson Flame Well is in an eruptive state. It seems getting Crimson Flame Essence won’t be easy.” Lu Zeng said, “Crimson Flame Essence is just a secondary thing. The Three Ancestors once said that the Crimson Flame Well is the real treasure.” “The Crimson Flame Well is an ancient relic, and the Flame Bird clan originally evolved under its influence. During its eruptions, one can bathe in the flames to cultivate the body, with effects better than Crimson Flame Essence.”

Lin Moyu’s eyes shifted, “It seems Senior Lu knew the Crimson Flame Well was erupting and that the Flame Bird clan had no Crimson Flame Essence.” Lu Zeng chuckled, “If I directly asked to go to the Crimson Flame Well, they would have been suspicious, so I had to take a roundabout approach.” Given the straightforward nature of the Flame Bird clan, they wouldn’t have thought there was such a twist. From the beginning, Lu Zeng was targeting the Crimson Flame Well, with Crimson Flame Essence as an excuse. Lin Moyu understood Lu Zeng’s intentions and said, “Thank you, Senior.” Lu Zeng shook his head, “No need to thank me for such a small matter; thanking me would be too formal.”

With that, Lu Zeng waved his hand, setting up a tea table, “The treasury opens in two days. If Mr. Lin is in no hurry to cultivate, how about having some tea and chatting?” Lin Moyu smiled, “I’d love to!” Lu Zeng personally brewed tea for Lin Moyu, and the two, like old friends, began to chat. Lin Moyu appeared young, but having read much about the Origin Continent, he conversed fluently with Lu Zeng.

A day later, a light flew from afar, transforming into a palm-sized flying boat that landed in Lu Zeng’s hand. Lu Zeng crushed the small boat, which turned into countless rays of light that entered him. Lin Moyu knew this was a way for the Lu Feng Merchant Guild to transmit information. After receiving the message, Lu Zeng suddenly smiled strangely, “Things are about to get lively!” Lin Moyu asked, “What happened?” Lu Zeng said, “The Hundred Herb Alliance has come to request slots for the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury.” Lin Moyu curiously asked, “What use do they have for the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury?”
