Chapter 2427: Chapter 3052: The Treasury of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan

The voices of Clan Leader Lei Tian and the various clan elders resounded throughout the entire city.

In Purple Tiger City, everyone was struck dumb, frozen in place as if hit by lightning.

"Who is Mr. Lin?"

"Isn't the Demon Emperor coming? Who is this sacred Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Lin… judging by the title, it sounds like he's from the human race."

"That's right, only the human race uses the title 'Mr.'"

"Could it be that Mr. Lin is a human?"

Soon, they saw this so-called Mr. Lin.

Lin Moyu stepped onto the Thousand-Cloud Purple Path, walking along the purple path toward Clan Leader Lei Tian and the others.

His appearance entered the field of vision of every member of the demon race in Purple Tiger City.

"It really is a human!"

"What exactly is his identity? Why would they use the Thousand-Cloud Purple Path for him?"

"A Dao Venerable 3rd Realm cultivator, yet he makes the Clan Leader and the clan elders welcome him so respectfully. What is going on?"

"Even if the Demon Emperor arrived in person, it wouldn't be more than this. Why is it like this?"

"Could it be that the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm is just a disguise, and his actual cultivation level is the same as the Demon Emperor's?"

"That's the only explanation. Otherwise, given the status and strength of the Clan Leader and the clan elders, this would be impossible."

Discussions broke out everywhere; the demon race members let their imaginations run wild, with all sorts of speculations constantly arising.

The relationship between the demon race and the human race is very strange, appearing both like enemies and friends.

If one says they are enemies, it seems they haven't engaged in an all-out war.

Moreover, there are many instances of the demon race going to human territory, or humans coming to demon territory, and there is no rule that they must fight to the death upon meeting.

If one says they are friends, on Panlong Island and across the Eastern Continent, the demon race and the human race often slaughter each other, a conflict that has lasted for many years.

Furthermore, some demon clans have indeed formed blood feuds with the human race.

The Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan, as a royal clan, holds significant influence within the demon race.

Their actions naturally sparked speculation from many people.

Some even speculated whether the relationship between the demon race and the human race was about to undergo some changes.

Amidst the discussions, Lin Moyu arrived in front of Clan Leader Lei Tian with a smile, "Clan Leader Lei Tian, by making such a grand spectacle, aren't you afraid some fellows will start spreading rumors?"

"Some people are already saying you intend to betray the demon race and defect to the humans."

Clan Leader Lei Tian wore a trace of disdain, "I have never cared about the opinions of such trash."

As he spoke, he turned back and gave a signal, "Find those who are spouting nonsense and behead them!"

A Seventh Realm Ancestor behind him immediately flew out, heading straight for Purple Tiger City.

Clan Leader Lei Tian was courteous when facing Lin Moyu, but when facing others, he was a decisive Clan Leader and a Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable powerhouse whose word was law.

Clan Leader Lei Tian gestured with his hand, "Mr. Lin, on behalf of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan, I formally welcome you to Purple Tiger Tower."

"A banquet has been prepared inside the tower. Please, Mr. Lin!"

This statement was formal; the previous time he entered Purple Tiger Tower, it was only so Lin Moyu could help his clan resolve their difficulties.

Only now could it be considered a formal entry into the tower.

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Then I shall respectfully accept your invitation."

He walked in the front with Clan Leader Lei Tian and the Grand Elder, while the other seven clan elders and a group of Seventh Realm Ancestors followed behind.

The three walked side by side, with Lin Moyu in the middle, as if he were the master of this place.

Only Clan Leader Lei Tian knew the reason for this.

It was not only because Lin Moyu had saved the entire clan, but also because the Demon Emperor treated Lin Moyu as an equal.

How could they dare to slight someone who could stand on equal footing with the Demon Emperor? That was why they used the etiquette of the Thousand-Cloud Purple Path to welcome Lin Moyu.

Entering Purple Tiger Tower for the second time, it was not the 99th floor, but the 90th floor.

The 90th floor was where the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan received honored guests; the decorations here were exquisite, magnificent, and exuded a strong air of nouveau riche.

The Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan seemed to want to tell everyone that they were very wealthy and had plenty of money.

A banquet was set up here.

Only Seventh Realm Ancestors and above were qualified to be seated.

Lin Moyu was the only person in the venue below the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

Under the warm invitation of Clan Leader Lei Tian, Lin Moyu sat to the left of Clan Leader Lei Tian, while the Grand Elder sat to the right.

The demon race also considers the left side as the position of honor. In this way, it was telling the entire clan that Lin Moyu's status was even higher than that of the Grand Elder.

The key was that the Grand Elder had no objections, his old face filled with smiles, appearing very happy.

Clan Leader Lei Tian raised his wine glass, "Many thanks to Mr. Lin for saving our clan from dire straits. On behalf of the entire clan, I toast Mr. Lin!"

Lin Moyu raised his wine glass and clinked it with Clan Leader Lei Tian's, "Clan Leader, you are too kind. I merely happened to be there at the right time."

Clan Leader Lei Tian shook his large head, "Some things depend on fate. That Mr. Lin could arrive here at this moment is fate."

"I, Lei Tian, state this here: in the future, as long as Mr. Lin has any instructions, I will do my utmost to fulfill them."

The Grand Elder also spoke, "Clan Leader, you must not forget this old man. As long as Mr. Lin says the word, this old man will certainly do his utmost."

The other clan elders also expressed that as long as Lin Moyu had any matters, he should feel free to speak.

This promise of theirs was equivalent to the entire Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan standing behind Lin Moyu.

After all, Lin Moyu had saved their entire clan; this debt of gratitude was too great, so great that it was very difficult to repay.

Several clan elders took turns offering toasts to Lin Moyu to express their gratitude.

Then, many Seventh Realm Ancestors also came over to offer toasts, and the banquet became increasingly lively.

Between rounds of drinking, Lin Moyu seemingly unintentionally mentioned Lei Hao.

He also subtly told everyone that he and Lei Hao were brothers through life and death, and that it was because of Lei Hao that he had come here.

From the Clan Leader to the clan elders and then to the Seventh Realm Ancestors, everyone remembered the name Lei Hao.

Lin Moyu knew that as long as Lei Hao didn't mess up, his position as the successor was basically secured.

The banquet lasted for half a day. After the banquet, Clan Leader Lei Tian dismissed everyone, leaving only himself and the Grand Elder.

Clan Leader Lei Tian said, "I do not know when we will be able to repay Mr. Lin's kindness, but for now, please go to our clan's treasury and take a look. If there is anything you fancy, please take it and accept it."

Lin Moyu immediately replied politely, "Clan Leader, you are too kind; I have never thought of such a thing."

Clan Leader Lei Tian shook his head, "This was not my decision alone; it was a joint decision by myself and the clan elders. Although our clan is not wealthy, we do have some good things, more or less. Please go and take a look, Mr. Lin, to see if anything catches your eye."

The Grand Elder also said, "Mr. Lin, there is no need to be polite. The kindness you have shown us cannot be compared to a few mere worldly possessions."

Under their warm invitation, Lin Moyu headed to the treasury of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan.

The treasury of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan was also inside Purple Tiger Tower, spanning from the 91st floor to the 95th floor; the higher the floor, the higher the grade of the items in the treasury.

Among them, the 91st floor corresponded to treasures above the Heavenly Venerable level but below the Dao Venerable level.

The 92nd floor contained treasures of the Dao Venerable 1st to 3rd Realm.

The 93rd floor contained treasures of the Dao Venerable 4th to 6th Realm.

The 94th floor contained treasures above the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

As for the 95th floor, it contained some special items.

Led by Clan Leader Lei Tian and the Grand Elder, Lin Moyu passed through the 91st and 92nd floors and went straight to the 93rd floor.

When Clan Leader Lei Tian and the Grand Elder worked together to open the treasury door, a dense Power of Origin rushed toward them, whipping up a strong wind.

Chapter 3053: I Want to Take It All Away

The wind rushing toward them contained powers of various attributes. There was wind, fire, water, and lightning.

This also showed that the treasures in the treasury were numerous and varied, with all kinds of attributes.

The Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan had existed for countless years. Over so many years, the clan's collection must be incredibly rich; no one knew exactly how much there was.

Clan Leader Lei Tian waved his hand, and the wind blowing from the treasury suddenly stopped. Then, he gestured, "Please, Mr. Lin."

Lin Moyu walked in, with Clan Leader Lei Tian following closely behind, introducing as he did, "The 93rd-floor treasury contains magic treasures, materials, pills, array disks, and so on, with grades between the Dao Venerable 4th and 6th Realm. If there is anything you fancy, Mr. Lin, feel free to take it."

He looked like a nouveau riche, as if he wouldn't feel pained even if Lin Moyu carried away the entire treasury.

Lin Moyu joked, "What if I want everything?"

Clan Leader Lei Tian was stunned for a moment, then his gaze revealed firmness, "Mr. Lin's kindness cannot be compared to mere worldly objects. I will call people right now to pack up the things inside and have you take everything away, Mr. Lin."

Seeing that Clan Leader Lei Tian seemed to be serious, Lin Moyu immediately stopped him, "I was just joking. I don't have much interest in treasures; I'm just looking to broaden my horizons."

Clan Leader Lei Tian smiled slightly, "Then please take your time looking, Mr. Lin. If you see something you like, just take it."

The Grand Elder also said from the side, "Mr. Lin, you really don't need to be polite. These are all worldly possessions; if you truly want them, there is no problem with packing them up and taking them."

The two were too polite, to the point where it was almost excessive.

Lin Moyu naturally understood why they were like this. His so-called debt of gratitude for saving the clan accounted for at most half of it.

The other half was due to the Demon Emperor; it was precisely because of the Demon Emperor's attitude toward him that they had such a reaction.

Lin Moyu believed that if he really wanted to pack up the treasures here and take them away, they would certainly agree. But whether they would be happy about it in their hearts was another matter.

Lin Moyu only looked through the Dao Venerable 4th to 6th Realm magic treasures and materials once, but he did not see what he needed.

Although there were some good quality items among them, they were of no use to him; they were simply valuable.

Even if he took them, besides filling his warehouse back home, he would only sell them in exchange for origin crystals. In either case, they were not necessities.

After looking around, Lin Moyu said to Clan Leader Lei Tian, "Your clan's collection is indeed very rich."

Clan Leader Lei Tian understood the meaning behind Lin Moyu's words, "Since there are no items here that catch your eye, Mr. Lin, why not go up to the next floor and take a look?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Very well, let's broaden my horizons."

The three arrived at the 94th floor, where treasures above the Dao Venerable 7th Realm were placed.

Before opening the treasury door, Clan Leader Lei Tian said to Lin Moyu, "Mr. Lin, please step back a little; the things here are somewhat dangerous."

Dao Venerable 7th Realm treasures, especially magic treasures, might develop spirituality. Magic treasures with spirituality are no longer ordinary; if things go wrong, there could really be danger.

Lin Moyu obediently stepped back a few paces, and the Grand Elder stood silently in front of Lin Moyu, the meaning being that he was protecting Lin Moyu.

Clan Leader Lei Tian opened the treasury door. Just as the door opened a crack, a biting cold light shot out from behind the door.

Clan Leader Lei Tian shouted angrily and threw a punch, unleashing a bolt of lightning that shattered the cold light.

Then, several more cold lights shot out from behind the door, and Clan Leader Lei Tian shattered several more in succession.

And the few that slipped through were intercepted by the Grand Elder.

Clan Leader Lei Tian pushed hard, fully opening the treasury door. Suddenly, purple light flared intensely before their eyes, and sounds of thunder rumbled.

Endless purple lightning fell from above the treasury door, forming a curtain of lightning.

Behind the lightning, five sharp swords spun in the air, continuously blasting out sword qi.

The lightning curtain could not block all the sword qi, and some of it leaked out. Clan Leader Lei Tian snorted coldly, rushed into the treasury, and directly waved his fists to blast all five sharp swords back.

The five sharp swords were clearly unconvinced and continued to resist, battling with Clan Leader Lei Tian.
