Chapter 2993: Who Sealed the Hell Fragments
Under the Beast Emperor's shocked gaze, Lin Moyu stated his request.
"Help me kill Ku Rong Senior, and I'll give you two ice and fire dao stones."
Although the Three Ancestors said it was impossible to kill Ku Rong Senior, Lin Moyu believed more in the power of great rewards to inspire courage.
Faced with the temptation of two ice and fire dao stones, Lin Moyu believed the Beast Emperor would certainly take action.
Sure enough, heavy breathing sounds came from within the mist.
After a few seconds, the Beast Emperor said in a low voice, "I alone can't kill him."
The Three Ancestors watched quietly from the side, not saying much.
He had already told Lin Moyu that even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn't kill Ku Rong Senior.
Lin Moyu still doing this now must have his reasons.
Lin Moyu asked, "Then can you injure him? I mean his soul, not the physical body that can recover at any time."
The Beast Emperor thought for a moment, "If it's just injury, with a surprise attack, this emperor should have a chance."
"But it won't be severe injury, at most just some light wounds that would recover in at most ten years."
Lin Moyu thought for a bit, "Only ten years? Then I'll add another condition. Besides injuring him, give me a protective item. When Ku Rong Senior acts against me, you'll act for me. Like this, worth one ice and fire dao stone, isn't this a good deal? What do you think?"
The Beast Emperor's aura churned, clearly considering.
The Three Ancestors' eyes also showed contemplation. He was weighing the gains and losses, considering if it was worth it.
Putting himself in the Beast Emperor's position, he found the deal could be made.
The Beast Emperor's strength was very strong. With a surprise attack, injuring Ku Rong Senior shouldn't be a problem.
A protective item was also not an issue for the Beast Emperor, and just blocking Ku Rong Senior wasn't a difficult task.
After a few seconds, the Beast Emperor made a decision, "Alright."
As he spoke, a Beast Emperor Flower flew out, identical to the ones given to the Three Ancestors earlier.
After flying out of the mist, the Beast Emperor Flower quickly shrank, finally becoming only palm-sized, turning into a jade-like specimen.
The Beast Emperor said, "This Beast Emperor Flower is the protective item this emperor gives you. If Ku Rong Senior acts against you, this emperor will naturally intervene."
Lin Moyu put away the Beast Emperor Flower, "Thank you, Beast Emperor."
The Beast Emperor nodded, "Then this emperor will go to the Western Continent now. You wait here for a while."
As he spoke, the Beast Emperor's aura departed again.
Lin Moyu laughed wryly, "I didn't say it had to be now."
The Three Ancestors said, "The Beast Emperor is just like this, doing everything with the speed of wind and fire. It doesn't matter, however long it takes, we'll just wait a while."
"While we're waiting, we can discuss another deal."
Lin Moyu knew the Three Ancestors was referring to those 160 Dao Venerables.
Although 160 sixth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses wouldn't affect the foundation of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, it was still a huge loss.
In many holy lands, the ruling Sect Masters and Patriarchs were often only at the sixth level of Dao Venerable.
And among these sixth-level Dao Venerables, there might be several who could become seventh-level Ancestors.
Lin Moyu said, "I still have the same conditions as before. How much does the Three Ancestors think those Dao Venerables are worth?"
The Three Ancestors secretly cursed Lin Moyu as a little fox, directly kicking the ball to him.
If he said too little, it would mean these Dao Venerables weren't valued highly in his heart, which would be losing face.
If he said too much, he would be the one losing out.
But now, he couldn't not say anything.
After all, Lin Moyu had laid his cards on the table, telling him to name his price.
But it was okay. The Three Ancestors was a businessman. If you can ask for the sky, I can also bargain on the ground.
The Three Ancestors thought for a moment and said, "One fifth-grade Origin Spirit Vein."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Not enough. The price the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce paid to cultivate these Dao Venerables far exceeds one fifth-grade Origin Spirit Vein."
The Three Ancestors thought for a bit, knowing his offer was indeed low, "Then add a set of sixth-level Dao Venerable spirit materials. Don't be too greedy, I'm already being very sincere."
Lin Moyu said, "Add one more fifth-grade Origin Spirit Vein remnant. Don't say you don't have it, I won't believe that."
The Three Ancestors said shamelessly, "You think Origin Spirit Vein remnants are so common?"
Lin Moyu said, "I believe you definitely have them. And these three items in exchange for 160 intact sixth-level Dao Venerables, who might soon produce several seventh-level Ancestors, is a very good deal for you."
The Three Ancestors glared at Lin Moyu. The two stared at each other, with Lin Moyu not budging an inch. After all, he was certain the Three Ancestors definitely had it.
Finally, the Three Ancestors conceded, "Fine, we'll do as you say."
Saying this, the Three Ancestors took out the three items: one fifth-grade Origin Spirit Vein, one remnant, and one set of sixth-level Dao Venerable spirit materials.
Lin Moyu then took out 160 spirit flowers and handed them to the Three Ancestors, "One flower for each Dao Venerable. They'll definitely recover completely."
The Three Ancestors looked at the spirit flowers, "These flowers... seem familiar."
Lin Moyu was unconcerned, "You've seen too many things. You might be mistaken."
The Three Ancestors put away the spirit flowers without asking further.
He knew Lin Moyu had many secrets, and some secrets weren't suitable to ask about.
The Three Ancestors said, "To be honest, I don't have many of these things you want. Can you think of anything else that could be exchanged?"
Lin Moyu said, "There is something. I want hell fragments. Do you have any?"
The Three Ancestors' eyes widened, "What did you say?"
Lin Moyu repeated, "Hell fragments, the fragments left after hell shattered back then."
The Three Ancestors' breathing clearly intensified, his voice becoming lower, "No."
Lin Moyu looked at the Three Ancestors' expression. For someone usually so composed, this could be considered quite flustered.
His saying he didn't have any seemed not very credible.
Before Lin Moyu could probe further, the Three Ancestors had already asked, "Why do you want hell fragments? Do you know what hell fragments mean?"
Lin Moyu said, "In any case, you don't need to worry about that. I have a use for them. Perhaps you really don't have hell fragments, but you definitely have information about them. If you just give me the information, I'll give you an ice and fire dao stone."
Lin Moyu continued to tempt the Three Ancestors with ice and fire dao stones. He believed they held enough allure for the Three Ancestors. If one wasn't enough, then two. If two weren't enough, then three.
No matter how significant the hell fragments were, faced with the temptation of ice and fire dao stones, the Three Ancestors would eventually talk.
But the stakes needed to be raised gradually. Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry.
At the same time, he couldn't possibly tell the Three Ancestors that he had once merged with a hell fragment.
From various information and the Three Ancestors' reaction, he realized that the shattering of hell in the past might be an enormous secret.
Faced with the temptation of ice and fire dao stones, the Three Ancestors looked troubled, clearly struggling internally.
Lin Moyu didn't press further. He couldn't show any sign of urgency now.
After a moment, the Three Ancestors suddenly asked, "What use do you have for hell fragments?"
Lin Moyu said, "Don't worry about what use. I just have a use for them."
"Do you know that if hell fragments emerge, this world might be destroyed?"
Lin Moyu grasped the key information: emerge!
These two words held enormous meaning. Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Are the hell fragments sealed? Who sealed the hell fragments? Could it be the Ten Netherworld Clans?"
