Chapter 2988: I'm Weak and Insignificant, So I Can Only Find a Bodyguard

Golden light carrying the curse fell, and Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree seemed to realize something, letting out an angry roar.

But it was trapped by the sea of lightning and could do nothing.

The curse flowed along the bloodline towards the entire Qing Yuan clan.

At this moment, Lin Moyu spread his Wings of Curse. As the wings vibrated, a curse power silently spread towards Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree.

Xia Hou Yuan glanced at Lin Moyu with slight surprise. He hadn't expected Lin Moyu to know the Curse Dao as well.

Moreover, although the strength of Lin Moyu's curse power wasn't as strong as Jin Mie's, its purity far exceeded Jin Mie's curse.

This kind of curse would be much harder to dispel.

Lin Moyu's actions were subtle. He retracted the Wings of Curse after just a few seconds, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Hou Yuan narrowed his eyes, "What curse did you use?"

Lin Moyu said, "I just enhanced the power of Jin Mie's curse, making it a bit stronger and harder to dispel."

Xia Hou Yuan chuckled, "Is it that simple?"

He obviously didn't believe Lin Moyu's words.

Lin Moyu said, "As you say, I'm only at the second level of Dao Venerable. What use could my curse have? I can only do some sneaky things."

Xia Hou Yuan didn't pursue the matter further. He knew very well that if Lin Moyu didn't want to say, it was better not to ask, otherwise it would only cause displeasure.

Lin Moyu looked towards the sea of lightning. He could feel that Jin Mie's bloodline curse had taken effect and was spreading from Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree to its clan members.

Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree also felt its bloodline being polluted. It roared continuously, its green light flaring.

Its body suddenly grew, instantly reaching a height of ten thousand meters. Its roots twisted to form feet, and it walked step by step out of the sea of lightning.

After a few steps, it walked out of the sea of lightning.

At the same time, countless branches extended, wrapping up its clan members. It walked faster and faster, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jin Mie and Lei Tian didn't pursue. They knew that even if they chased, they couldn't kill the opponent.

Even with Lei Tian's all-out effort earlier, he had only scratched the surface of the opponent.

Qing Yuan Ancestral Tree's main strategy was: I can't kill you, but you can't kill me either.

A battle destined to have no conclusion thus ended. The land where the Ice and Fire Secret Realm was located had been completely transformed.

Xia Hou Yuan also withdrew his defense. Only the area where he was still had green grass, carrying a bit of vitality.

Other places had been turned to ashes.

However, this was the Origin Continent. No matter how badly the land was destroyed, it would recover before long.

Several balls of life force flew from Lin Moyu's fingers. The life force exploded in the air, falling towards the ground.

The scorched earth regained a bit of vitality under the nourishment of the life force.

However, Lei Tian's power still lingered on the ground. The power of a ninth-level Dao Venerable wasn't so easy to remove.

Lei Tian descended from the sky, coming before Lin Moyu and Xia Hou Yuan. He first cupped his hands towards Xia Hou Yuan, using human etiquette to greet him, "Brother Xia Hou, it's been many years. We must have a good drink together this time."

Xia Hou Yuan chuckled, "Indeed, it's been many years. Brother Lei's cultivation has greatly improved. It seems you're not far from that realm."

Lei Tian laughed, "I'm still far from it. But Brother Xia Hou's cultivation is getting stronger, becoming unfathomable."

The two were already acquainted and exchanged pleasantries for a few sentences before Lei Tian turned to look at Lin Moyu, "You must be Fellow Daoist Lin."

For a ninth-level Dao Venerable to address Lin Moyu as a fellow daoist was indeed surprising.

Lin Moyu put on a flattered expression, "Lin Moyu greets Senior Lei."

Lei Tian smiled, "No need for such formality. I've come on orders from the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor requests Fellow Daoist Lin to visit the Beast Emperor Palace."

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned, "The Beast Emperor wants to see me?"

This time, even Xia Hou Yuan was a bit surprised.

A complex look appeared in his eyes. They were now in beast territory, and with the Beast Emperor's invitation, it naturally couldn't be directly refused.

But once they went to the Beast Emperor Palace, if anything unexpected happened, even he couldn't save Lin Moyu.

Although he had never met the Beast Emperor, he knew from the Three Ancestors that the Beast Emperor had a bad temper. If he got angry and killed Lin Moyu, it wasn't impossible.

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Moyu had already spoken, "If the Beast Emperor invites, we naturally must go."

As he spoke, he gave Xia Hou Yuan a look, telling him they couldn't refuse.

Xia Hou Yuan returned a look to Lin Moyu, telling him there might be danger.

Lin Moyu's eyes carried a hint of helplessness. Could they not go just because there was danger?

Let alone a bit of danger, even if it was a nine out of ten chance of death, they couldn't refuse now.

Otherwise, without a doubt, Lei Tian before them, and Jin Mie not far away, would certainly attack them.

Seeing Lin Moyu agree, Lei Tian's face immediately showed joy. He was about to speak when Lin Moyu said,

"Senior Lei, could you wait a moment? We'll set off in a while."

Lei Tian said, "Of course. I'll deal with some matters here first, then come back for Fellow Daoist Lin."

He didn't ask anything more. Clearly, the Beast Emperor's order to him was just to invite Lin Moyu back and to be sufficiently polite.

Otherwise, why would a mighty ninth-level Dao Venerable be so polite to him?

After Lei Tian left, Lin Moyu asked, "Senior Xia Hou, do you know why the Beast Emperor is calling for me?"

Xia Hou Yuan shook his head, "I'm not sure."

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "I'm a bit curious, how does the Beast Emperor know about me?"

Xia Hou Yuan pondered, "If I remember correctly, the Beast Emperor has a very powerful treasure. This treasure can judge cause and effect, see the past. Perhaps using this treasure, the Beast Emperor learned of your existence."

Lin Moyu followed Xia Hou Yuan's words to think and found it was indeed possible.

Those parasitized Dao Venerables all had strong karmic connections with the Insect Mother.

And their coma was ultimately because of him. If it weren't for him, the Insect Mother might not have absorbed the parasites' power now.

So, using the Cause and Effect Dao, it could ultimately be traced back to him.

As long as this treasure was powerful enough, the Beast Emperor could know about him.

The Cause and Effect Dao was mysterious. Even he had only touched upon a bit of its surface.

Xia Hou Yuan asked, "You want to wait a while longer, you're waiting for the Three Ancestors, right?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Since the Three Ancestors said they'd come personally, they probably won't be too slow. To go see the Beast Emperor without the Three Ancestors' protection, my life and death wouldn't be in my own hands. That feeling isn't good."

Xia Hou Yuan smiled, "You think quite deeply, using whoever you can use."

Lin Moyu put on a helpless expression, "No choice. Who told me to be weak and insignificant? If I'm not careful, I'd lose my life early."

Xia Hou Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him, as if to say, "You, weak and insignificant?"

Weak and insignificant, yet daring to offend Ku Rong Senior.

Jin Mie and Lei Tian were directing people to clean up the battlefield and count any casualties.

A moment later, Xia Hou Yuan's expression changed slightly. He took out a tablet that was flashing with light.

"The Three Ancestors are here."
