Chapter 2986: This Ancestor's Word is as Good as Gold
Lin Moyu roughly understood the cause and effect. Because he killed the ice and fire grass and the Insect Mother, he ultimately angered the mysterious leader of the Hundred Herbs Alliance.
That mysterious leader certainly wouldn't let him off, so he sent Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree to kill him.
However, when the Insect Mother absorbed a large amount of power from its hosts, it must have caused a huge reaction.
Lin Moyu didn't know how many beast race Dao Venerables had become hosts, but it certainly wasn't few.
These Dao Venerables normally had no reaction, but when their power was rapidly absorbed, they would definitely react.
This matter quickly reached the Beast Emperor. With the Beast Emperor's abilities, he would naturally discover who was behind this.
So if the Beast Emperor knew, the Three Ancestors would naturally know as well.
Thus, the Beast Emperor and the Three Ancestors both sent people here.
As for why the three of them didn't act personally, Lin Moyu felt there must be some special reasons.
It wasn't that they didn't want to act, but that it wasn't convenient for them to do so.
Otherwise, with that mysterious leader's Dao Realm strength, killing him would be easy.
Lin Moyu believed that if he dared to act personally, the Three Ancestors wouldn't stand idly by.
Watching Jin Mie and Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree continue their battle, Lin Moyu comfortably became a spectator. With Xia Hou Yuan present, the battle's aftershocks couldn't harm him at all.
The unfortunate ones were the other beast race Dao Venerables who came out of the secret realm. They were all injured by the battle's aftershocks. Luckily, some beast race powerhouses acted to save them, preserving their lives.
As for how serious their injuries were or if there were any aftereffects, that was up to fate.
Lin Moyu waved his hand, taking out a tea table. "Senior Xia Hou, come over and drink tea while we watch slowly."
Xia Hou Yuan was somewhat amused and exasperated. "You kid, you're not worried at all, are you?"
Lin Moyu said, "With you here, what do I have to worry about?"
He had killed a Dao Realm Outer God and witnessed Dao Realm battles. This battle between ninth-level Dao Venerables could only be considered a small scene.
While brewing tea for Xia Hou Yuan, Lin Moyu asked, "What's the situation on the Three Ancestors' side? Did something happen to those 160 Dao Venerables?"
Xia Hou Yuan nodded, "Indeed, something happened. Their souls are all damaged. If not handled well, they might really be ruined."
Lin Moyu was surprised, "Is it that serious? Even with your abilities, you can't heal them?"
Xia Hou Yuan was a Dao Venerable of the Soul Dao. Healing souls was his specialty.
Xia Hou Yuan took a sip of tea and shook his head slightly. "The dao of the soul is too profound. What I know is actually just the surface."
"If the soul only suffered minor injuries, it could be treated. But this time, their soul damage is too severe. It's already good if we can preserve their lives."
"Even if we save their lives, it's hard to say if they can live normally afterwards."
One hundred and sixty sixth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses - the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce had invested countless resources and effort to cultivate them.
Now they were all ruined at once. The Three Ancestors, being shrewd businessmen, would naturally be upset.
Lin Moyu smiled, "It seems the situation on the beast race side is even worse."
Xia Hou Yuan chuckled, "Indeed. Thousands of Dao Venerables were affected there. They were carried before the Beast Emperor to plead, from various clans. Imagine where the Beast Emperor can put his face."
"Ku Rong Senior has angered both the Beast Emperor and the Three Ancestors at once. In my view, it's truly foolish."
Lin Moyu said, "So the leader of the Hundred Herbs Alliance is called Ku Rong Senior. Isn't he a plant? Why is he called 'Senior'?"
Xia Hou Yuan laughed, "That's his business. Can you control it? He can call himself whatever he wants."
Lin Moyu laughed heartily, "Indeed, it's none of my business. Whatever he calls himself, it doesn't matter to me. The guy wants to kill me."
"I just didn't expect the commotion he caused this time would be so big. Fortunately, it was big enough, otherwise I'd be in trouble."
When Xia Hou Yuan mentioned Ku Rong Senior, his expression became somewhat serious. "What exactly happened to you in the secret realm?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a powerful force immediately isolated the two of them from the outside world.
At the same time, he took out a jade tablet and activated it. "Speak. The Three Ancestors can hear too. Give details."
Lin Moyu recounted what happened in the secret realm.
There was no need to hide much from the Three Ancestors. They originally knew about the Outer God's existence in the secret realm.
While listening to Lin Moyu's account, Xia Hou Yuan's expression changed several times.
He knew that this time, Lin Moyu had truly offended Ku Rong Senior to death.
Offending a Dao Realm powerhouse, even if this Dao Realm powerhouse couldn't act freely on the Origin Continent, was still an incredibly terrifying thing.
Even he would probably have a splitting headache over it.
But Lin Moyu was like nothing had happened, drinking tea, chatting, and watching the show here.
Xia Hou Yuan really didn't know how Lin Moyu's brain was wired, what he was thinking every day.
Finally, Lin Moyu mentioned the Outer God. He killed the Outer God, and as a result, the two Dao Realm powerhouses Chixin and Lanshan were revived, returning to the dao.
After Lin Moyu finished speaking, the Three Ancestors' voice suddenly sounded from the jade tablet, "You say you obtained the ice and fire dao stones?"
Lin Moyu didn't answer directly. "Three Ancestors, shouldn't you be concerned about the 160 Dao Venerables of the Lu family?"
The Three Ancestors said, "Which eye of yours saw that I'm not concerned? I've been thinking of ways all along."
Lin Moyu asked, "Then have you thought of a solution?"
There was a brief silence on the Three Ancestors' side. After a moment, the Three Ancestors' low voice sounded again, "For now, I haven't found a good solution. We can only preserve their lives first."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Three Ancestors, what if I say I have a way to restore them completely?"
At these words, Xia Hou Yuan was the first to stare at him with wide eyes.
His expression seemed to say, "Even I can't heal soul injuries, yet you have a way?"
The Three Ancestors snorted lightly, obviously not quite believing Lin Moyu's words. "If you can restore them completely, name your conditions, whatever you want."
Lin Moyu chuckled, "Alright, you said it. I'll take you at your word."
The Three Ancestors said, "This ancestor's word is as good as gold. Did you really obtain the ice and fire dao stones?"
Lin Moyu said, "I did. I'll bring them to you when I return."
The Three Ancestors said, "No need. I'll come personally."
With these words, the tablet lost connection with the Three Ancestors.
Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment. "For the ice and fire dao stones, the Three Ancestors actually came in person. Is it worth it?"
Xia Hou Yuan smiled, "The ice and fire dao stones are of great importance. It's not strange for the Three Ancestors to come personally. Otherwise, Ku Rong Senior wouldn't try every means to obtain them."
Lin Moyu said, "But the ice and fire dao stones are just used to refine the soul, right?"
Xia Hou Yuan asked in return, "Isn't that enough?"
Lin Moyu suddenly realized that perhaps for Dao Realm powerhouses like the Three Ancestors, the importance of the soul was far greater than he had imagined.
Moreover, in the Dao Realm, strengthening the soul was extremely difficult.
So the ice and fire dao stones became extremely important.
But for such important ice and fire dao stones, shouldn't they be available in the dao? Couldn't the Three Ancestors obtain them?
There must be some stories behind this.
Jin Mie and Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree were still fighting fiercely. They had truly unleashed their power, neither giving way to the other.
However, their strengths were close, and neither could overcome the other.
At this moment, a purple cloud approached from afar, accompanied by thunder and lightning sweeping in.
