Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3199: Where Did They Come From?

The earth was shattered, mountains collapsed in the battle, and tens of thousands of li had turned to ruins, no longer the green mountains and clear waters of before.

This was the first time such an event had occurred outside Nine-tailed City. For countless years, the area around Nine-tailed City had never experienced such a great battle.

However, it didn’t matter. Afterward, the Celestial Fox clan would come to repair it. This land would be restored to its original state before long, at most losing a few high mountains.

Lin Moyu came before the Beast Emperor, “Thank you, Beast Emperor, for coming to my rescue.”

The Beast Emperor’s voice carried authority, yet also a hint of gentleness, “Even if this emperor hadn’t come, friend Lin should have been fine.”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “If the Beast Emperor hadn’t come, he certainly wouldn’t have fled. In the end, he might have taken root in Nine-tailed City, and we would have had no way to deal with him.”

The Beast Emperor nodded, “That’s true. His final technique would have been very difficult for ordinary ninth-level Dao Venerables to kill him.”

Lin Moyu said, “So I really must thank the Beast Emperor for coming to the rescue. Otherwise, even if I had been fine, Nine-tailed City would likely have suffered.”

Lin Moyu had brought Nine-tailed City into it. If Elder Withering Flourish had really caused trouble in Nine-tailed City, it would have been the Beast Emperor who lost face.

After all, this was the Beast Emperor’s territory, and the Celestial Fox clan was under the Beast Emperor’s command.

The Beast Emperor said, “Elder Withering Flourish went too far this time. This emperor might have to go teach him another lesson.”

Lin Moyu said, “When Elder Withering Flourish came to kill me this time, he said that if you went to find him again, he would surely make things difficult for you. He’s not easy to bully either. If he fights desperately, he could at least fight you to a mutual defeat.”

The Beast Emperor fell silent, then sighed lightly, “He’s not wrong. If he really fought desperately, at most this emperor could fight him to a mutual defeat. Killing him is almost impossible.”

Lin Moyu said, “So I think you shouldn’t go find him. It’s not worth injuring yourself for his sake.”

“Moreover, his avatar was destroyed here this time. He probably won’t make a move again for a short while.”

“However…”

The Beast Emperor heard the implication in Lin Moyu’s words and asked, “However what?”

Lin Moyu said, “However, I’m about to go to the Western Continent, and I’m afraid there might be some trouble.”

The Western Continent was quite far, and Elder Withering Flourish was in the Western Continent. If he set his sights on Lin Moyu, even the Beast Emperor might not be able to help from so far away.

Lin Moyu wasn’t afraid of Elder Withering Flourish’s avatar.

But facing Elder Withering Flourish’s main body, Lin Moyu knew his current strength was far from enough.

Seeing the Beast Emperor’s punch earlier, he realized that the strength of Great Dao realm beings far exceeded his imagination. His previous estimates of the Great Dao realm were inaccurate.

The Beast Emperor asked in a low voice, “Why do you want to go to the Western Continent? That place is no paradise. Some things there are even more troublesome than in the Eastern Continent.”

The Eastern Continent wasn’t actually as chaotic as imagined. It might have been chaotic before, but now that Antares had appeared, led the Eastern Spirit Empire, and carried out a major cleanup, the structure of the Eastern Continent had become clear.

The Lufen Chamber of Commerce, led by the Three Ancestors, was the top power in the Eastern Continent on the surface.

The Eastern Spirit Empire, led by Antares, was the hidden power in the Eastern Continent.

These two powers, one overt and one covert, had actually taken control of the entire Eastern Continent.

As for other factions in the Eastern Continent, they were just minor disturbances, not amounting to much.

In the Western Continent, there were the Buddhist clan, Insect clan, Dragon clan, and the Hundred Herbs Alliance.

These four powers fought each other, already showing signs of a chaotic situation.

Besides this, there was also the Netherworld clan hidden in the shadows of the Western Continent, as well as some powerful spirit beasts.

The actual situation in the Western Continent was more chaotic than the Eastern Continent.

Lin Moyu said, “Precisely because the situation is more chaotic, I wanted to ask the Beast Emperor to help me think of a solution.”

The Beast Emperor thought for a moment, “The Hundred Herbs Alliance is in the northeast of the Western Continent, closest to here. If you want to go to the Western Continent, it’s best to avoid that area.”

“You can ask that Three Ancestors fellow to buy the best map. The map will show the territories of various clans in the Western Continent.”

“Bring out the Beast Emperor Flower I gave you.”

Lin Moyu handed the Beast Emperor Flower to the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor took the flower back into the mist and said, “This emperor will modify the Beast Emperor Flower. Carry it with you at all times, and it can help conceal your aura. As long as you don’t enter the Hundred Herbs Alliance’s territory, Elder Withering Flourish won’t be able to sense you.”

“If you want to go to the Western Continent, it’s best to take a detour and enter from the southwest.”

Saying this, the Beast Emperor returned the modified Beast Emperor Flower to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu saw that a divine rune had been added to the Beast Emperor Flower. This rune emitted a mysterious aura, formless and intangible, enveloping him as if concealing something about him.

The Beast Emperor continued, “As long as you don’t enter the Hundred Herbs Alliance’s area, Elder Withering Flourish won’t discover you. If you accidentally enter, flee immediately and tell this emperor at once. This emperor will come as quickly as possible.”

Lin Moyu nodded, hanging the Beast Emperor Flower at his waist, and asked, “It seems Elder Withering Flourish monitors his territory very strictly.”

The Beast Emperor said, “Elder Withering Flourish has openly created three avatars. One of them is named Wild Grass. The Wild Grass avatar isn’t strong in combat, but it possesses an ability called Proliferation.”

“Wild Grass can proliferate countless offspring, each of which can become Wild Grass’s eyes. Elder Withering Flourish uses this ability to monitor the entire Hundred Herbs Alliance.”

Lin Moyu asked again, “What about nearby?”

The Beast Emperor said, “The Hundred Herbs Alliance is located in the northeast. The two sides closer to the inland of the Western Continent are the territories of the Dragon clan and Insect clan. Neither direction is easy to deal with, and Wild Grass won’t go there.”

“Further northeast is the Realm Sea. Some nearby islands are actually territory of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, and might have Wild Grass’s offspring.”

“Further away is Old Black’s domain. Elder Withering Flourish doesn’t dare to provoke him.”

“So as long as you enter the Western Continent from the southwest, and don’t cross through the Dragon clan and Insect clan territories, you basically won’t be sensed by Elder Withering Flourish.”

Lin Moyu already had a map of the Western Continent in his mind, and with the Beast Emperor’s explanation, he now understood the general situation of the Western Continent.

In the map he currently had, the largest area in the Western Continent was occupied by the Buddhist clan.

If he entered the Western Continent from the southwest, he would first step into Buddhist clan territory.

His relationship with the Buddhist clan didn’t seem very good either, having killed several Buddhas.

But compared to Elder Withering Flourish, entering through the Buddhist clan’s side seemed a bit safer.

He wanted to find the Netherworld clan. From the information given by the Three Ancestors, Lin Moyu saw that the Netherworld clan’s location was in the north of the Western Continent, in a small area at the border between the Dragon clan and the Hundred Herbs Alliance territories.

This area was a desolate region of the Western Continent, not a good place. Neither power was interested in those areas, so the Netherworld clan had multiplied and grown strong there.

Besides this, the Three Ancestors had also told him about another hell fragment. That hell fragment was in the Buddhist clan’s territory.

So the Buddhist clan was also a place he had to go.

Lin Moyu said, “Beast Emperor, I have a question I’d like to ask, if you know the answer.”

The Beast Emperor laughed heartily, “No need to be so polite with this emperor. If you have a question, just ask.”

Lin Moyu said, “When the Origin Catastrophe ended, there were no Buddhist or Insect clans on the Origin Continent. Where did they come from?”

The Beast Emperor’s mist suddenly paused. He asked with slight surprise, “How do you know this?”
