 Chapter 3158: Without Friend Lin, I'd Have Trouble Even Staying Alive

Facing Jin Mie's question, Su Mou narrowed his old eyes, "Who can say for sure? Maybe there will be, maybe not. Let nature take its course."

Su Mou was the leader of the Celestial Fox clan, and the oldest among the ten royal clan leaders.

Among the ten royal clans, the Celestial Fox was the most stable clan. For many years, they hadn't had any troubles.

Each clan leader served for a very long time.

They also had the most powerful experts among the ten royal clans, with five top ninth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses.

Other clans usually only had one, at most two.

For some reason, once a clan had too many ninth-level Dao Venerables, trouble would inevitably occur.

The extra ninth-level Dao Venerables would have accidents for various reasons.

If not injured and falling in realm, then dying in accidents. The entire clan might even have problems.

Not many people understood the various reasons. Only a few knew the root cause was fortune.

For a clan to have top experts, it needed fortune to support it.

The higher the realm, the higher the fortune requirement. This fortune referred not just to individuals, but the whole clan.

Once fortune was insufficient to support it, either top experts couldn't appear, or even if they did, accidents would occur.

The Celestial Fox clan could maintain the most top experts because they befriended many friends with strong luck.

Whether from beast races, humans, or even dragon races.

People with good luck naturally had good fortune.

Borrowing these people's fortune to strengthen their own clan's fortune led to the Celestial Fox clan's constant stability and continuous emergence of powerful experts.

Jin Mie smiled, "The Celestial Fox clan has strong fortune, with powerful experts emerging constantly. To be honest, I really envy your bloodline."

Su Mou smiled, "Then you can go ask the Beast Emperor to change your bloodline, let you join the Celestial Fox clan."

Jin Mie waved his hand, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Su Mou naturally understood, "Speaking of fortune, that human friend you met this time has the strongest luck I've seen in my life."

"I imagine his fortune must be incredibly astonishing. You should seize this well. Your clan's fortune will naturally increase. Maybe in a few years, you'll have a third ninth-level Dao Venerable."

Jin Mie said, "Mr. Lin's fortune is naturally not weak. Someone like Mr. Lin, Jin has only seen once in his life."

His words made the other clan leaders show surprise.

With Jin Mie's level of arrogance, for him to evaluate someone like this was indeed unexpected.

At this time, Lei Tian also said, "Mr. Lin is indeed also someone Lei has only seen once in his life. Perhaps only the Beast Emperor can compare."

This made the other clan leaders even more surprised. They all asked what kind of person Lin Moyu was.

Lei Tian and Jin Mie took turns speaking, telling part of Lin Moyu's story.

But they wouldn't tell everything. They knew very well what could be said and what couldn't.

However, they also let everyone know that Lin Moyu had a relationship with the Beast Emperor, and it was no ordinary relationship.

Even when Lin Moyu exterminated the Flame Divine Eagle clan, the Beast Emperor didn't say anything.

Everyone realized that if they met Lin Moyu, they should treat him politely, at least not offend him.

Lei Tian said, "When I asked you for that box before, it was actually for Mr. Lin. But my words obviously weren't very useful, so I did something privately."

Everyone asked in unison, "What did you do?"

Lei Tian chuckled, "I told the Beast Emperor about this matter."

They could contact the Beast Emperor, but wouldn't do so lightly.

Unexpectedly, Lei Tian had contacted the Beast Emperor for this matter. Everyone felt it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Even Jin Mie was surprised, "What did the Beast Emperor say?"

Lei Tian shook his head, "The Beast Emperor might be busy. There's no reply for now."

Everyone instinctively felt the Beast Emperor probably didn't want to bother. Otherwise, with the Beast Emperor's power, sparing a bit of attention would be enough. He couldn't be that busy.

Su Mou's eyes showed thoughtfulness, "Clan Leader Lei Tian, it seems you really value that human youngster."

Lei Tian smiled, "Mr. Lin has shown me kindness. I naturally must do my utmost for his matters."

At this time, suddenly a shout came from outside, "Number 1635 replacement personnel!"

"Number 1635 replacement personnel!"

"Number 1635 replacement personnel!"

The same words repeated three times, spreading throughout the entire camp.

Number 1635 was the Celestial Fox clan's number. Someone from the Celestial Fox clan had died in the secret realm.

In the Ancient Battle Secret Realm, casualties inevitably exceeded 30% each time, sometimes reaching 50%.

Among all casualties, the Celestial Fox clan's casualties were always the lowest, often zero. This was also related to their strong fortune.

But occasional casualties were normal. Hearing the number, no one found it strange.

However, Su Mou's face suddenly changed. He exclaimed, "How is this possible!"

Everyone asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Su Mou said softly, "Su Fengze has fallen."

Everyone found it even stranger. Su Fengze, just from the name, was only a collateral branch member.

What was so shocking about a collateral branch member falling?

Su Mou said, "Su Fengze isn't an ordinary collateral branch member. He joined the Divine Rune Army, and in the future, he could possibly reach the top, becoming part of the main branch."

"Strange, his luck was very strong. He shouldn't have fallen."

"Could it be that this old man was wrong? Or did he encounter something inside!"

Su Mou couldn't quite believe it. His eyes showed great regret.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, looking at the secret realm entrance.

At the secret realm entrance, a figure appeared. It was Su Fengze.

Su Fengze hadn't died, but left the secret realm, which was why his name turned gray.

Leaving the secret realm early rarely happened.

Su Mou immediately transmitted, "Fengze, come here!"

A beam of light fell beside Su Fengze, showing him the way.

Su Fengze immediately flew up, coming before Su Mou, "Fengze greets the clan leader."

Su Mou asked, "Why did you come out?"

Su Fengze said, "While executing a task, Fengze encountered danger. Just as I was about to die, a secret realm exit suddenly appeared. After entering the exit, Fengze returned here."

In the Ancient Battle Secret Realm, anything could happen. Su Fengze's experience actually made perfect sense.

Su Mou noticed the seal at Su Fengze's waist, "You've advanced to thousand-man commander? And become seventh-level Dao Venerable. It seems you've gained quite a lot this time."

Su Fengze said, "Indeed the gains were great. This time in the secret realm, Fengze met a human friend called Lin Moyu. Friend Lin led me to over-fulfill a task, letting me advance directly from ten-man commander to thousand-man commander."

Su Mou made an "oh" sound, "So you met him and completed a task together."

Su Fengze immediately explained, "Not together. It was Friend Lin leading me to complete the task. Without Friend Lin, I'd have trouble even staying alive."

These words made everyone feel surprised. They looked at Su Fengze curiously. Su Mou asked, "Tell us in detail."

Su Fengze shook his head, "I've made a Great Dao oath. I can't say."

Great Dao oaths were unbreakable. Su Mou also understood not to force it.

He thought for a moment, changing the question, "That human youngster called Lin Moyu also joined the Divine Rune Army. What's his current military rank? You can say this, right?"

Su Fengze said, "When I parted with Friend Lin, Friend Lin was already a seventh-grade general!"

"What!"

"How is this possible!"

Even Su Mou, who had lived countless years, couldn't remain calm. He stood up abruptly, looking at Su Fengze.

Just joining the Divine Rune Army, in such a short time, from ordinary soldier to seventh-grade general.

How was this achieved?

Su Mou himself was also a member of the Divine Rune Army. He naturally knew how difficult it was to advance in military rank.

He had gone so many times, and was currently only a ninth-grade general.

He couldn't understand how Lin Moyu had done it.

At this time, an authoritative voice sounded, "Friend Lin has advanced to seventh-grade general?"
