 Chapter 3019: I Still Want to Live a Few More Years

In just two minutes, a hundred Dao Venerables died in battle.

And Lin Moyu, as if he had done something trivial, hadn't moved half a step from beginning to end.

The entire fifth level was filled with a thick smell of blood. The powerful blood of Dao Venerables was splashed freely among the lightning.

This was all fourth-level Dao Venerable blood. Each drop was as heavy as ten thousand jun, each drop containing enough power to kill a Celestial Venerable.

For some alchemists and medicine makers, every drop of Dao Venerable essence blood was top-grade material.

Not to mention the large amount of fresh Dao Venerable flesh, all premium material.

But now, they were here, floating in the air like garbage.

Divine thunder fell, landing on the flesh and blood. The flesh was destroyed, becoming nourishment for the fifth level.

The Skeleton Kings flew out, collecting the remaining usable corpse fragments. These were all good weapons, not to be wasted.

Those Dao Venerables who hadn't acted, seeing this scene, all showed horrified expressions.

Especially those Dao Venerables persuaded by Lei Zhong Hu, they were all grateful they had listened and not acted. Otherwise, they would have been the ones to die.

Lei Zhong Hu seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "It's good that you all listened to persuasion!"

Although among the dead Dao Venerables were also over twenty of their Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clansmen.

But since these guys wouldn't listen to persuasion, they were seeking death themselves, not worth sympathy.

Especially those last few words made Lei Zhong Hu extremely uncomfortable.

So what if I'm from a branch family? The status of branch families isn't high, but so what?

I kindly came to persuade you not to go to your deaths. You didn't listen, so you deserve to die!

Lin Moyu's gaze swept over the remaining Dao Venerables. None of them dared to meet Lin Moyu's eyes, feeling that Lin Moyu's gaze was like a sharp sword, bringing death.

Lin Moyu's cold voice rang out, "Everyone, if anyone wants to avoid death, you can come try again."

"I'm right here. As long as you can kill me, you can obtain the Soul Progenitor Beast."

Lin Moyu's tone was calm, but no one dared to move.

The hundred Dao Venerables before were the best example. They moved, and then they died.

Dao Venerables all cherished their lives. Although beast Dao Venerables often acted rashly in the heat of the moment, they weren't brainless.

Now their minds were very cold. The coldness spread from their souls throughout their bodies, and they didn't dare to move.

A Soul Progenitor Beast was good, but one needed to be alive to enjoy it.

Lin Moyu suddenly looked into the distance, a hint of a smile appearing on his cold face.

In the distance, dense with divine thunder, a person came riding the lightning.

Lei Rong, stepping on his thunder spear, flew over from afar.

He was clearly also coming for the Soul Progenitor Beast, but upon seeing Lin Moyu, he showed a look of surprise.

Lei Rong cupped his hands towards Lin Moyu, greeting with human etiquette, "So Fellow Daoist Lin is here."

Lin Moyu smiled, "Is Fellow Daoist Lei also here for the Soul Progenitor Beast?"

Lei Rong's gaze swept around, seeing the true form of the Soul Progenitor Beast, which was actually Little Five.

He seemed to understand something and smiled, "I didn't expect the people around Fellow Daoist Lin to be more amazing one after another."

"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Lin, I originally came for the Soul Progenitor Beast, but now I don't want it anymore."

Although not explicitly stated, it was very clear.

He wanted it before because of the Soul Progenitor Beast, now he didn't want it because of Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu smiled, "Actually, Senior Lei Rong can still consider it."

Lei Rong shook his head, "Since it belongs to Fellow Daoist Lin, how could I think about it?"

He thought to himself, "I still want to live a few more years. Fighting with you? No way!"

He wasn't a fool. The smell of blood here hadn't dissipated yet, and fragments of bodies were still flying in the lightning.

Every piece of flesh and blood was left by fourth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses.

Lei Rong knew he couldn't kill so many fourth-level Dao Venerables at once.

After all, those were fourth-level Dao Venerables, not third-level.

This showed how strong Lin Moyu's power was, and how much strength he had hidden earlier in the fourth level.

Lei Rong's gaze swept around, seeing Lei Zhong Hu and the others, and immediately flew over.

His status and position were different from Lei Zhong Hu's. As a direct descendant and a fifth-level Dao Venerable, his status was naturally very high.

His arrival immediately became the backbone for this group of Dao Venerables.

Learning what had just happened from everyone, Lei Rong couldn't help but glance at Lin Moyu.

He hadn't expected Lin Moyu's methods to be so sharp.

If he had come a step earlier, he could have stopped those clansmen from going to their deaths.

But it was too late to say this now. In his view, these clansmen had definitely died in vain.

His gaze carried thoughtfulness. Lin Moyu had a young lady by his side who had comprehended an illusory-type dao and become a Dao Venerable.

He had a Soul Progenitor Beast with a powerful bloodline, and another spirit beast with an equally powerful bloodline.

Lin Moyu gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.

Lei Rong didn't want to provoke Lin Moyu, especially since after the ancestral grounds trip, they would need to ask for Lin Moyu's help.

He knew that those clan elders were almost going crazy trying to find cultivators of illusory-type daos...

All the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger Dao Venerables looked at Lei Rong, hoping he could stand up for them.

"Clan Brother, did those clan brothers just die in vain?"

"Yes, this is our ancestral grounds. Killing our people so recklessly in our ancestral grounds, isn't that going too far?"

"And that's a Soul Progenitor Beast! If we could get the Soul Progenitor Beast, the clan leader would surely reward us heavily."

Lei Rong looked at these guys. Those speaking were basically all direct descendants. None of the dozens of branch family Dao Venerables spoke up.

Lei Rong said bluntly, "You're just too used to good days. Don't forget what we beasts follow."

"Now their fists are bigger than ours. What can we use to stand up?"

"Do you know his identity? Lei Hao, one of the successors, is his brother in life and death."

"I advise you to give up this idea. Those who died earlier, they're dead and that's it. If you want revenge, go yourself."

Lei Rong's words made the few very embarrassed. Go themselves? Go to their deaths?

Lei Rong then said to Lei Zhong Hu, "You did well, knowing when to advance and retreat. After the ancestral grounds trip ends, you can go find Lei Hao. Although you're from a branch family, that kid will surely accept you."

Lei Zhong Hu wasn't stupid. He understood the meaning in Lei Rong's words and immediately responded, "Thank you for the guidance, Clan Brother. Little Tiger understands."

He called himself Little Tiger, lowering his posture greatly, which pleased Lei Rong very much.

Lei Rong said in a low voice, "I'm going to the sixth level first. I advise you not to have any ideas about the Soul Progenitor Beast. If you really can't let it go, you can tell the clan leader after the ancestral grounds trip ends, and see if the clan leader will stand up for you."

"Don't say I didn't warn you, Fellow Daoist Lin is no ordinary person. Even the clan elders might need to ask for his help."

After saying this, Lei Rong said no more and flew towards the distance.

He was going to the sixth level to inform the clansmen there about Lin Moyu's situation.

He thought Lin Moyu would probably go to the sixth level, as the divine thunder of the fifth level was useless to Lin Moyu.

Fearing there might be more trouble later, he went to give a warning first.

Lei Rong left, and the remaining Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger Dao Venerables looked at each other. No one dared to fight Lin Moyu, and they finally dispersed and left.

Lei Zhong Hu also left, bowing deeply to Lin Moyu before leaving.

Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "Someone who knows when to advance and retreat, and understands etiquette, is rare among beasts. He can indeed become one of our own."
