Chapter 2526

Even if he wanted to help, he would probably be out of reach. Facing Master Kurong's clone, Lin Moyu was not afraid.

But facing Master Kurong's true body, Lin Moyu knew that his current strength was still far from enough.

Seeing the Demon Emperor's punch earlier, he knew that the strength of the Dao Mirror Realm was far beyond his imagination, and his previous estimation of the Dao Mirror Realm was inaccurate.

The Demon Emperor asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to go to West Zhou? That is no friendly place."

"Some things there are even more troublesome than in East Zhou. East Zhou is actually not as chaotic as imagined, though it might have been in the past."

"But now that Antares has appeared, taken command of the Dongling Empire, and conducted a major cleanup,"

"the layout of East Zhou has become clear. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, led by the Third Ancestor, is the premier faction on the surface in East Zhou."

"The Dongling Empire, led by Antares, is the hidden power of East Zhou. With one in the light and one in the dark,"

"the two great factions have actually taken control of the entire East Zhou. As for the other factions, they are just minor players in East Zhou."

"They amount to nothing. In West Zhou, there are the Buddhist Clan, the Insect Clan, the Dragon Clan, and the Hundred Herbs Alliance."

"The four factions fight among themselves, already showing a chaotic situation. Besides that,"

"the Nether Clan also hides in the shadows of West Zhou, and there are some powerful spiritual beasts. The actual situation in West Zhou"

"is much more chaotic than in East Zhou." Lin Moyu said, "It is precisely because the situation is so chaotic…"

"…that I would like to ask Senior Demon Emperor to help me think of a way." The Demon Emperor pondered for a moment. "The Hundred Herbs Alliance is in the northeast of West Zhou,"

"which is closest to here. If you are going to West Zhou, it is best to avoid that place."

"You can go ask that fellow, the Third Ancestor, and buy the best map. The map will show the spheres of influence of each clan in West Zhou."

"Bring me the demon emperor flower I gave you." Lin Moyu handed the demon emperor flower to the Demon Emperor, who withdrew it into the mist.

At the same time, he said, "I will modify the demon emperor flower slightly. Keep it with you at all times; it can help conceal your aura."

"As long as you do not enter the territory of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, Master Kurong will not be able to sense you. If you want to go to West Zhou,"

"it is best to take a detour and enter from the southwest of West Zhou." With that, the Demon Emperor returned the modified demon emperor flower

to Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu saw that an extra Divine Talisman had appeared on the demon emperor flower, radiating a mysterious aura.

The invisible and intangible aura enveloped him, as if concealing something. The Demon Emperor continued,

"As long as you do not enter the region of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, Master Kurong will not discover you. If you accidentally wander in,"

"flee immediately and inform me at once. I will rush over as quickly as possible." Lin Moyu nodded.

He hung the demon emperor flower on his waist and asked, "In that case, Master Kurong monitors his territory very strictly?"

The Demon Emperor said, "On the surface, Master Kurong has refined a total of three clones. One of them is named Yecao."

"The Yecao clone is not strong in combat, but it possesses an ability called Reproduction. Yecao can propagate countless offspring."

"Every offspring can become Yecao's eyes. Master Kurong uses this ability of Yecao to monitor the entire Hundred Herbs Alliance."

Lin Moyu asked again, "What about the surrounding areas?" The Demon Emperor replied, "The Hundred Herbs Alliance is located in the northeast, close to West Zhou."

"The inland sides are the territories of the Dragon Clan and the Insect Clan. Neither direction is easy to provoke, so Yecao will not go there."

"Further northeast are some islands near the Boundary Sea, which are actually also the territory of the Hundred Herbs Alliance."

"There might be offspring of Yecao on them. Any further, and it is Old Heizi's territory."

"Master Kurong does not dare to provoke him. Therefore, as long as you enter West Zhou from the southwest and do not cross through the territories of the Dragon Clan and the Insect Clan,"

"you basically won't be sensed by Master Kurong." In Lin Moyu's mind, there was already a map of West Zhou.

With the Demon Emperor's explanation, he now understood the general situation of West Zhou. In the map he currently possessed,

the one occupying the largest area in West Zhou was the Buddhist Clan. If he entered West Zhou from the southwest region, the first place he would step into would be the Buddhist Clan's territory.

His relationship with the Buddhist Clan did not seem very good either; he had even killed several Buddhas.

But compared to Master Kurong, entering from the Buddhist Clan's side seemed safer. He needed to find the Nether Clan.

From the information provided by the Third Ancestor, Lin Moyu saw that the Nether Clan was located in the north of West Zhou,

in a small area bordering the Dragon Clan and the Hundred Herbs Alliance. This area was a barren and treacherous land in West Zhou,

not a good place. Neither faction had any interest in that region, so the Nether Clan thrived and grew there.

In addition, the Third Ancestor had also given him information about another hell fragment.

That hell fragment was within the Buddhist Clan, so the Buddhist Clan was also a place he had to visit. Lin Moyu said, "Senior Demon Emperor,"

"I have a question to ask, and I wonder if you know the answer." The Demon Emperor laughed heartily. "No need to be polite with me."

"Ask whatever you want." Lin Moyu said, "When the Origin Cataclysm ended, there were no Buddhist Clan or Insect Clan on the Origin Continent."

"Where did they come from?" The Demon Emperor's mist suddenly paused, and he seemed slightly surprised.

Chapter 3200: Time to Suffer a Little

He asked, "How did you know?" Nine-Tailed City was still incredibly bustling. The previous great battle outside the city

and the appearance of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's phantom had become the talk of the town for countless demons. However, most of the demons did not know

that the Demon Emperor had just visited. The Celestial Fox Clan dispatched a large number of people to repair the tens of thousands of miles of damaged land outside the city.

Lin Moyu returned to his palace. The Demon Emperor had already left. From the Demon Emperor,

he had obtained some rather vague answers. Facing his questions, the Demon Emperor had been somewhat evasive.

However, Lin Moyu was certain that whether it was the Buddhist Clan or the Insect Clan, their origins were not simple.

As for their exact origins, the Demon Emperor did not say. He only told Lin Moyu

that the Buddhist Clan's heritage did not entirely originate from the Origin Continent, and the Insect Clan was likewise not a native species of the Origin Continent. From the Demon Emperor's words, one could analyze

that the root of the Buddhist Clan was a heritage, and it was this heritage that created the current Buddhist Clan. This heritage did not entirely come from the Origin Continent,

and might even be mixed with some other things. As for the Insect Clan, they were even less of a native species of the Origin Continent.

Since they were not from the Origin Continent, they naturally came from other worlds. Yet, the Great Dao did not reject them.

Therefore, they could now be considered members of the Origin Continent. Finally, Lin Moyu took out the information given to him by Clan Leader Su Mou.

This information had been recently compiled by Clan Leader Su Mou, who said it contained the information Lin Moyu needed.

After reviewing it, the jade token in Lin Moyu's hand automatically turned to powder, leaving not a trace behind.

It turned out that Clan Leader Su Mou had already seen through Xiaowu's true identity. Was it that he did not want Xiaowu's bloodline, or did he not dare to take it?

Lin Moyu felt it was both. Clan Leader Su Mou was the patriarch of the Celestial Fox Clan, so he naturally knew that capturing a Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast was a double-edged sword.

If successful, one might be able to use the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast to try and learn, comprehending the Dao of Karma.

If it failed, the entire clan's fortune would suffer. The Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast was a very miraculous species,

not something just anyone could kill. Over the years, quite a few Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts had been captured,

but no one had ever truly mastered the Dao of Karma. Therefore, after seeing through Xiaowu's identity, Clan Leader Su Mou never thought of capturing her.

Not only did he not capture her, but he also informed Lin Moyu about other Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast groups.

Within the territory of the Celestial Fox Clan, there lived two other groups of Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts. Clan Leader Su Mou and several high-ranking members of the Celestial Fox Clan knew about this.

However, they all had a tacit understanding and did not cause trouble for those two groups of Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts, because they knew

that the losses might outweigh the gains, and they did not want to get entangled in any karmic relations with the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts. This was also the wisdom of the Celestial Fox Clan.

They would not let greed blind their eyes. Now that Clan Leader Su Mou had seen through Xiaowu's identity and discovered her relationship with Lin Moyu,

he told Lin Moyu about it. As for how Lin Moyu would handle it, that was Lin Moyu's own decision.

In addition, the records also contained some information that might be related to the hell fragments.

This information was very cluttered, numbering in the tens of thousands, and even more chaotic than last time.

Clan Leader Su Mou had likewise only given the information to Lin Moyu for him to analyze himself. Tens of thousands of pieces of questionable information

spread across the four continents. It would take Lin Moyu a lot of time to analyze them all one by one.

Lin Moyu naturally would not think through it himself. He gave it directly to the Human Emperor, letting her analyze it.

This was the Human Emperor's forte. Lin Moyu summoned Patriarch Hunyi and told him about the other two groups of Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts.

"Patriarch Hunyi, I want to bring those two groups of Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts"

"together to Yudao City. I'd like to ask for your opinion." Patriarch Hunyi shook his head.

"Since they have lived here for so many years, and the Celestial Fox Clan also knows of their existence and they have coexisted peacefully,"

"I think it is better not to disturb them. Our groups do not contact each other and have no real relation."

"This is just like the various sects in the Human Clan. Although they are all humans, they do not necessarily get along harmoniously."

"So I think if we bring them to Yudao City, they might not agree. Even if they do,"

"they might not be able to live in harmony with us." Hearing Patriarch Hunyi's explanation, Lin Moyu nodded slightly.

"I understand your concerns. Although they are all Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts, they are different groups after all."

"It is indeed true that we might not get along perfectly." Patriarch Hunyi said, "Moreover, we carry karma."

"If any conflict arises between us, it might negatively affect Yudao City." Lin Moyu originally wanted to take the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts away

"not only for Xiaowu's sake, but also because the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts could bring some benefits to Yudao City. Since that was the case,"

"then the more Soul Spirit Ancestral Beasts the better. Now it seemed he had overthought it. Since that was the case,"

"there was no need to make a fuss. Lin Moyu went to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce to check the movements of the hurricane warships."

hurricane warship No. 2 would arrive at Nine-Tailed City in about twenty days, and then depart from Nine-Tailed City,

passing through the North Zhou land to head to East Zhou. hurricane warship No. 4 would arrive at Nine-Tailed City in five days and depart for West Zhou.

Originally, Lin Moyu wanted to board hurricane warship No. 4 from Nine-Tailed City to head to West Zhou.

But now it was clearly impossible. The route of hurricane warship No. 4 would first arrive at the territory of the Hundred Herbs Alliance in West Zhou.

Doing so would basically be Lin Moyu telling Master Kurong, "I have arrived, you can come and kill me now."

Therefore, Lin Moyu had to take hurricane warship No. 2 back to East Zhou, and then take hurricane warship No. 3 from East Zhou,

crossing the east and west ends of the Boundary Sea to head to West Zhou. The docking point of hurricane warship No. 3 was in the southern region of West Zhou,

which was the Buddhist Clan's territory. Then, he would cross the entire Buddhist Clan all the way north.

The final destination was the Dragon Clan's territory, which also happened to align with the direction Lin Moyu needed to go to find the Nether Clan.

"Since that's the case, I'll let you girls play for a few more days. Next, it's time to suffer a little."

Lin Moyu showed a mischievous smile. He was looking forward to how those girls would scream and shout when the time came.

Nine-Tailed City was too big, and there were too many fun things. The three girls, led by Xiaowu, played wildly for twenty days.

By the time hurricane warship No. 2 appeared outside Nine-Tailed City, Lin Moyu called them back. On the day of Lin Moyu's departure,

Clan Leader Su Mou personally led people to see him off, and also gave the three girls, including Xiaowu, a storage ring each.

The rings contained countless fun items from Nine-Tailed City and a large amount of Nine-Tailed City's delicacies. They were not extremely precious,

but they represented their goodwill. Clan Leader Su Mou bowed to Lin Moyu. "Mr. Lin is welcome to visit Nine-Tailed City at any time."

"You are our most honored guest. That palace of yours will only be open to you in the future." Lin Moyu smiled and said,

"You are too polite, Clan Leader. Nine-Tailed City is very nice. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will naturally come."

"Xiaowu also chimed in, "Nine-Tailed City is so much fun! I want to come back and play in the future." Under the watchful eyes of Clan Leader Su Mou and the others,

Lin Moyu left Nine-Tailed City and boarded hurricane warship No. 2. On the bow of the hurricane warship,

a member of the Lu family had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Lin Moyu arrived, he immediately bowed to Lin Moyu.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Lu Wanshui, the manager of this…"

"…hurricane warship No. 2. I have already arranged a room for you, Mr. Lin. Please follow me."

Chapter 3201: The Agonized Xiaoniu

Lu Wanshui was very polite to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "Manager Lu, you look eighty to ninety percent similar to Manager Lu Wanhai."
