Chapter 2097

The lunar light shed down like liquid silver, bringing a trace of cool chill, yet it was not as cold as the hearts of Peng Yun and his three companions.

Peng Yun and the other three finally saw clearly who had killed them.

Majestic and terrifying skeletons, each one a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate, a total of one hundred.

Peng Yun's voice trembled, filled with fear. "Who on earth are you? How can you have so many puppets?"

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "You will find out very soon."

Find out very soon?

Peng Yun and the other three did not understand what Lin Moyu meant at all, but there was no need for them to understand.

With a casual wave of Lin Moyu's hand, a Broodmother appeared in the air.

Peng Yun cried out in terror, "A Broodmother! You are from the Zerg!"

The other three also cried out in terror, "The Zerg! It's actually the Zerg!"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "Wrong answer. You must be punished!"

Chapter 2532: Let the Zerg Take the Blame!

A fatal battle came to an end. Ten Heavenly Venerates had arrived aggressively, but in the end, they left flesh and blood scattered everywhere. Except for the four Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates, the remaining six could no longer be distinguished from one another.

Xiaoyue looked at the bloody scene, her small face pale, clearly extremely uncomfortable.

Knowing about dead people and actually seeing dead people were two completely different things; the sensory impact was entirely different.

Mist said callously, "Look more. You'll get used to it once you see it enough. You'll be seeing this often in the future anyway."

Xiaoniu also chimed in, "Any powerhouse grows up by stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood. This small scene is nothing."

Xiaoyue knew they were right. She nodded her head weakly, suppressed her discomfort, and forced herself to stare at the bloody scene.

Lin Moyu neither agreed nor disagreed. Mist was right; one would indeed get used to such things after seeing them enough.

A moment later, Lin Moyu waved out a sheet of Undying Flame.

The Undying Flame devoured all the remaining corpses and flesh.

Xiaoyue felt puzzled. "Is Master trying to cremate them?"

In her young memory, many people had to be cremated after they died.

While eating snacks, Mist said, "Of course not. Master is going to turn them into obedient dead people."

Obedient dead people.

Under Xiaoyue's puzzled gaze, the flesh of these deceased Heavenly Venerates reconstructed, and their souls were reborn.

They turned back into Revenants, returning to the world with the memories of their past lives.

The ten Revenants knelt before Lin Moyu in unison, devout and respectful.

Seeing this, Xiaoyue's eyes widened. She finally understood what the phrase 'dead people are more obedient than living ones' meant.

Lin Moyu looked at Peng Yun and said, "Speak. What on earth is going on?"

From beginning to end, Lin Moyu had never believed the words of Peng Yun and the others. Perhaps there was another inside story.

Lin Moyu had been too lazy to ask before. Heaven knew whether the answers obtained from the living were true or false; it was much better to get answers from the dead.

Peng Yun explained the entire matter. After hearing it, Lin Moyu murmured, "He indeed didn't lie."

Elder Caiyan of the Seven-Colored Sect had been looking for a successor disciple recently.

As a powerhouse of the Dao Venerable Realm, her requirements were extremely high, so she actually couldn't find a suitable successor disciple.

Elder Caiyan had also posted a reward within the sect. Anyone who could find a suitable successor disciple for her would be heavily rewarded.

And the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, Qingyun Heavenly Venerate, had been stuck at the Peak Heavenly Venerate level for many years.

If he wanted to take another step forward, the best way was to go to the main Seven-Colored Sect and receive the blessing of the main sect's origin spirit vein, cultivating there for a period of time.

But according to the rules of the Seven-Colored Sect, to cultivate in the origin spirit vein, one had to meet many conditions.

This time, Peng Yun happened to run into Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue, who possessed a Natural Jade Soul, had excellent talent for cultivation.

If they could present Xiaoyue to Elder Caiyan, perhaps Qingyun Heavenly Venerate would be able to go to the Seven-Colored Sect to cultivate, thereby breaking through to the Dao Venerable Realm in one go.

Although there were slight discrepancies in the internal details of the whole matter, it was largely the same.

In Lin Moyu's view, what Qingyun Heavenly Venerate truly lacked was luck.

And the Seven-Colored Sect's origin spirit vein suppressed the luck of the entire spirit vein, which also included the luck of the Qingyun Sect.

As long as he could obtain enough blessing of luck, Qingyun Heavenly Venerate had a high hope of breaking through to a Dao Venerable.

By then, the Qingyun Sect would become a four-star force, taking the lead among the seven branch sects of the Seven-Colored Sect.

With a bit of better luck, Qingyun Heavenly Venerate could even enter the main sect and become an elder there, gaining greater authority.

"Humans die for wealth, just as birds die for food. It can only be said that your luck has run out."

Judging from how Qingyun Heavenly Venerate had been unable to break through to Dao Venerable for so long, the luck of the Qingyun Sect was already not strong.

But thinking about it, that shouldn't be the case. The spirit vein of the Seven-Colored Sect was not weak. With it suppressing the luck, the luck of the seven branch sects should not be too bad either.

But why did this situation occur?

Perhaps only by seeing it with his own eyes one day could he find out.

He could not see luck, but Mist could. As long as he let Mist take a look, it would be clear.

Lin Moyu opened the Rule World and threw all ten Heavenly Venerates to the Sovereign.

From their mouths, he could also obtain a large amount of information related to the Origin Continent.

The Sovereign was currently organizing the information on the Origin Continent, so naturally, the more complete the information, the better.

After tidying all this up, Lin Moyu used the Law of Time to erase the marks left in time before setting off again.

He slightly altered his direction and completely wiped away all the aura he left behind, making it impossible for anyone to track him.

The origin alternated, the moon set, and the sun rose.

A day after Lin Moyu left, at the moment when the sun and moon origins alternated, Qingyun Heavenly Venerate arrived with a group of people.

They found the place where Peng Yun had died.

Someone holding a magic treasure similar to a Bagua plate said in a deep voice, "The last place Elder Peng Yun and the others appeared was here."

Another elder in the Heavenly Venerable Realm closed his eyes to sense for a moment, and his expression changed slightly. "Sect Master, the aura here is a bit unusual. It is not the aura of our human race."

Not the human race? An elder took out a magic treasure, which flew in a circle around the place where Peng Yun and the others had died, as if collecting something.

In the end, the magic treasure returned and projected a phantom, which revealed a Broodmother!

"A Broodmother!"

"It's the Zerg!"

The group turned pale with fright. To think they would see the Zerg in the territory of the Southern Continent.

The Zerg active in the Western Continent year-round, occasionally going to the Northern Continent to fight with the Dragon Race.

Even if the Zerg appeared in the Eastern Continent, it wouldn't be surprising, as the Eastern Continent was the most chaotic and anything could happen there.

But encountering the Zerg in the Southern Continent was an extremely rare and bizarre occurrence.

The Zerg rarely came to the Southern Continent. In the long history of the Origin Continent, the number of times the Zerg had appeared in the Southern Continent could be counted on one hand.

Qingyun Heavenly Venerate's face was gloomy. After some investigation, the aura left behind here was indeed that of the Zerg.

In other words, Peng Yun and the others had died at the hands of the Zerg.

Except for the aura here, the aura in all directions had been wiped out, making tracking impossible.

But even if they could track it, Qingyun Heavenly Venerate would not go. Heaven knew what realm those bugs were in.

If they were in the same realm as him, going there would just be delivering himself on a silver platter.

Qingyun Heavenly Venerate said, "It seems we can only report this matter to the main sect and ask the main sect's elders to come and investigate."

Since it involved the Zerg, Qingyun Heavenly Venerate did not dare to make decisions on his own and decided to shift the responsibility to the main sect.

At this moment, another elder said, "Sect Master, we can also tell Elder Caiyan about the Natural Jade Soul in passing. Although we couldn't deliver the person to her, providing the clue can still be considered a minor contribution."

Qingyun Heavenly Venerate nodded. "I will. Let's head back first."

Everyone knew very well that Elder Peng Yun and the others had likely died in vain.

The Zerg would not reason with them, and it was not their turn to seek revenge.

Half a day later, from the main sect of the Seven-Colored Sect, three Dao Venerates carrying powerful auras flew out, blotting out the sky.

They streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed and arrived at the place where Peng Yun and the others had died.

Of the three Dao Venerates, there were two men and one woman. One of them was an old acquaintance of Lin Moyu, Dao Venerate Wei Xin.

Dao Venerate Wei Xin possessed a magic treasure that could perform time reversal.

The female Heavenly Venerate among the three, whose entire body was shrouded in a hazy Mist, was precisely Elder Caiyan.

Elder Caiyan's voice was soft and crisp. "It is indeed the aura of the Zerg. To think the Zerg would appear in the Southern Continent is quite a rare thing. Should we report this to the Holy Land?"

Wei Xin took out his time magic treasure. "No rush, let's take a look first!"

Chapter 2533: But Not as Large as the Divine City

In just over a day, Lin Moyu and his group had already traveled far.

When Wei Xin used his time magic treasure, Lin Moyu still sensed it.

The corners of Lin Moyu's mouth curled up slightly. He knew Wei Xin would get no results.

The marks of time had long been erased by him; other than the Zerg's aura, nothing could be found.

The reason Lin Moyu had summoned the Broodmother at the end to kill Peng Yun and the other three was precisely to cover up his own aura.

The Zerg's aura was very strong. With their presence, attention could naturally be diverted.

He was not afraid of the Qingyun Sect, but he did not want to clash with the Seven-Colored Sect for the time being.

If any random Dao Venerable came, it would be very troublesome.

Another half day passed, and a powerful aura flew in from afar.

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "I will send you into the Rule World!"

With a wave of his hand, he pulled Xiaoyue and the others back into the Rule World, walking slowly across the land alone.

Before long, a Dao Venerate flew over Lin Moyu's head.

"Looking at his attire, he is a Dao Venerate of the Seven-Colored Sect."

"It seems they weren't able to find enough information."

Lin Moyu watched the departing Dao Venerate, his mind as clear as a mirror.

The people of the Seven-Colored Sect must have failed to find any clues and, unwilling to give up, split up to search.

A Dao Venerate's speed was fast, and their search range would be vast, but it was still impossible to find anything.

A moment later, after confirming there were no issues, Lin Moyu released Xiaoyue and the others again.

Xiaoyue asked cautiously, "Master, did Xiaoyue cause trouble for you?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Some things are destined. They will find you sooner or later, and it has nothing to do with what you did."

Xiaoyue seemed to understand but not entirely. "Just like how Junior Brother and Xiaoyue met, was that also destined?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "That is called fate. Fate is a very strange thing, elusive and unpredictable. You don't need to dwell too much on this question. Just let everything take its natural course."

Xiaoyue uttered an "oh". Although she didn't quite understand Lin Moyu's words, she still obediently memorized them.

Mist chimed in from the side, "What Master means is that you can do whatever you want without worrying about anything else. If anything happens, Master will shield us."

With a movement of Lin Moyu's finger, a finger suddenly materialized in front of Mist's forehead and tapped her on the brow.

Mist clutched her head and cried out, "Master, why did you hit Mist again?!"

"Speaking without restraint, you deserve to be hit!" Lin Moyu said softly.

Mist was clearly defiant, but she did not dare to talk back anymore. Talking back once meant getting hit once; there was already a precedent.

Just as Lin Moyu had thought, Wei Xin ultimately failed to find any answers.
