Chapter 2552

“There indeed are. Does Mr. Lin want to go to the Zerg Clan?”

Lin Moyu shook his head.

“You can ask if the Zerg Clan has had any movements recently.” Lu Shudao was suddenly startled.

“Does Mr. Lin mean that the Zerg Clan might take advantage of the Dragon Clan's vulnerability to launch a sneak attack on the Dragon Clan's homeland?”

“The Dragon Clan,” Lin Moyu said, “that is only one of the speculations.”

“There is also another possibility: the Zerg Clan might have already joined forces with the Buddhist Clan, preparing to deal with the Dragon Clan.” Lu Shudao pondered for a moment.

He realized that this was highly likely and immediately said, “I will contact them right away.”

“To ask about the situation.” Lu Shudao quickly sent out a message, which would take some time to get a response.

As he thought, he said, “If that's really the case, the Dragon Clan will indeed be in big trouble.”

Lin Moyu said, “If that's indeed the case, the Buddhist Clan can be said to be killing multiple birds with one stone.”

“Not only can they successfully establish the Dragon Division, but they can also obtain a large number of secret techniques and treasures from the Dragon Clan, and even carve up the Dragon Clan's territory together with the Zerg Clan.”

“The worst-case scenario is that eventually, only the Buddhist Clan's Dragon Division will be left on the Origin Continent, and there will no longer be an independent Dragon Clan.”

“Even if those of the Dragon Clan up there find out, there is nothing they can do for the time being.” Lu Shudao felt that what Lin Moyu said…

…made a lot of sense. Lin Moyu actually still had some words unsaid. Once the Buddhist Clan succeeded…

…they would obtain a massive amount of destiny. The Buddhist Clan's destiny was already not weak, and if they added the Dragon Clan's destiny…

…perhaps Buddha Sansheng could use this to charge into the true Great Dao Realm. If he really succeeded…

…then the Buddhist Clan would have someone up there. As for what the Great Dao World beyond the heavens was like, Lin Moyu was not clear.

He could not make a judgment. Thinking further, Lin Moyu felt…

…that if the Buddhist Clan really did this, their ultimate goal was for Buddha Sansheng to charge into the Great Dao Realm. If that was indeed the case…

“It probably won't be so easy for me to retrieve Xiaomei's reincarnation treasure from Ancient Buddha Huangmei. I might…”

…have to fight a hard battle. The hell fragment I want…

…is also in the hands of Ancient Buddha Qingdeng. He is one of the three lives of Buddha Sansheng, and when combined, they form the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm. If the things given by the Third Ancestor cannot be exchanged for the hell fragment…

…I might have to fight for it as well.” Lin Moyu thought a lot, feeling that his own matters might run into trouble.

Compared to Xiaomei's reincarnation treasure, the hell fragment might be easier to obtain. After all, the hell fragment could not be carried around at all times.

And whether to give it or not was not up to Ancient Buddha Qingdeng alone. Lin Moyu asked, “Senior Lu,”

“do you know if Ancient Buddha Huangmei has a cloth sack in his possession?”

Lu Shudao thought for a moment.

He shook his head slightly and looked at the several Dao Venerables behind him. “Do you know?”

Immediately, a Dao Venerable replied, “The sack in Huangmei's hand is called the Buddha Seed Bag, and it is an extremely powerful magic treasure.”

“It is estimated to be above the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. It is said to have been passed down by Huangmei's master and can absorb all things.”

“Once sucked inside, one will be influenced by the Buddha Seed Bag and develop a Buddhist nature.”

“After a long time, they will be converted.” Lin Moyu nodded. “Thank you for letting me know, Senior.”

At this moment, Lu Shudao received a reply from the chamber of commerce's personnel, and his expression changed slightly. “Mr. Lin,”

“you were indeed right. The Zerg Clan has indeed made moves recently. Several of their most powerful Broodmothers have set out.”

“As for where they went, it is not clear.” Lin Moyu said,

“The Zerg Clan should be joining forces with the Buddhist Clan to trap the Dragon Clan to death here.” Lin Moyu felt that the Zerg Clan would not take advantage of the Dragon Clan's vulnerability…

…to attack the Dragon Clan's ancestral land, because there would be no benefit in doing so. Even if they conquered it, so what?

“As long as the Dragon Clan's vital forces remained, they would not be able to hold it even if they conquered it. The best way…”

…is to wipe out the Dragon Clan's vital forces. The Buddhist Clan used the excuse of establishing the Dragon Division to actively provoke conflict with the Dragon Clan…

…drawing most of the Dragon Clan's forces over, and cooperating with the Zerg Clan to ultimately wipe them out within the Western Paradise.

“Once their plan succeeds, the Dragon Clan's strength will be heavily depleted, and then the two clans will join forces to attack the Dragon Clan.”

“They will carve up the Dragon Clan's territory and seize the Dragon Clan's destiny.” Regarding this idea of the Buddhist Clan…

…Lu Shudao had no reaction. In his eyes, the life and death of the Dragon Clan…

…actually did not have much of an impact on the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Dragon Clan's business accounted for a very small portion of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce.

He was simply there to watch the excitement and had no intention of intervening. Lu Shudao assumed Lin Moyu was also there to watch the excitement…

…and asked with a smile, “How did Mr. Lin think of coming to the Western Continent?” Lin Moyu said,

“I originally planned to find Ancient Buddha Qingdeng…” Suddenly, Lin Moyu's expression changed.

He thought of something and changed the subject. “Senior Lu,”

“can you contact the Third Ancestor from here?”

Lu Shudao nodded. “Yes.”

Lin Moyu said, “I want to speak with the Third Ancestor alone.” Lu Shudao did not ask any questions.

He directly led Lin Moyu into the warship, and in a room inside, he activated the formation.

Then, he withdrew. The formation operated, and after a moment, the Third Ancestor's voice came through.

“Shudao, why do you seek this ancestor?”

Lin Moyu said,

“Third Ancestor, it's me.” The Third Ancestor's tone changed.

Losing his previous majesty, he said, “Oh, it's you, kid. What's the matter?”

Lin Moyu quickly explained what was happening here and then asked, “Third Ancestor,”

“what do you think?”

The Third Ancestor said, “This old man is a businessman.”

“I don't wake up early unless there is profit.” The implication was that he would not do anything that brought no benefit.

The Buddhist Clan and the Dragon Clan fighting to the death was their own business and had nothing to do with him, a businessman.

No matter who won, he was only responsible for making money and doing business. Lin Moyu naturally understood what kind of person the Third Ancestor was.

“I have a business deal here. I wonder if the Third Ancestor would like to do it?” The Third Ancestor said,

“For this old man, there are only unsuitable prices, no business that cannot be done.”

Lin Moyu said, “Two things. First, relay the situation I just described…”

…truthfully to the new emperor of the Dongling Empire. Second, you personally head to the Dragon Clan.

“Not to have you deal with the Zerg Clan and the Buddhist Clan, but to keep an eye on the Nether Clan and the Hundred Herbs Alliance.”

“If these two clans want to make a move against the Dragon Clan, please help block them. As for what method you use to block them,”

“anything is fine, as long as you don't let them invade the Dragon Clan.” After Lin Moyu finished speaking,

…the Third Ancestor fell into silence. He had said that there was no business that could not be done,

…only unsuitable prices. Lin Moyu had already stated his requirements; next was for the Third Ancestor to state his price.

After a moment, the Third Ancestor said in a low voice, “One ice-fire dao stone.”

Lin Moyu agreed without hesitation, “Deal!”

The Third Ancestor let out an “Oh?”

“You're not bargaining?”

Lin Moyu said, “I think this price is very reasonable.”

“There's no need to bargain.” The Third Ancestor immediately cried out in frustration, “It seems this old man's asking price was too low.”

Lin Moyu smiled and said, “Actually, it's not low. Just to pass on a message…”

…and make a trip, this price is already very high. After all, the Nether Clan and the Hundred Herbs Alliance might not necessarily make a move.

“And even if they do, you only need to show up and block them; you don't necessarily have to fight.”

“So, this price is not low. You won't go back on your word, right?”

The Third Ancestor snorted, “This old man's integrity is unmatched under the Great Dao. As long as it's an agreed business deal…”

…I will do it even if I lose money.”

Chapter 3239: Because I Saw Them

The Buddhist Clan and the Zerg Clan joined forces to plot against the Dragon Clan.

Their confidence in wanting to wipe the Dragon Clan off the Origin Continent in one fell swoop lay in Buddha Sansheng, who had stepped into the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm, and the reason was also because of Buddha Sansheng.

However, if they wanted to completely wipe out the Dragon Clan without any survivors, then just the Buddhist Clan and the Zerg Clan might not necessarily be enough.

Perhaps the Hundred Herbs Alliance on the other side of the Dragon Clan would also join in, as well as the Nether Clan in the shadows. The Nether Clan lived in a remote corner…

…keeping a low profile, but Lin Moyu believed that their strength was definitely not weak.

How could a race evolved from the hell fragments and the Nether Black Pool be weak? Thinking deeper…

…if the Buddhist Clan wanted the Nether Clan to make a move, what would be the best way?

Naturally, it would be the hell fragment in the hands of Ancient Buddha Qingdeng.

Previously, Lin Moyu had not thought of so much, but only later did he suddenly realize that Buddha Sansheng was already in the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm.

Thus, it was entirely possible for him to suppress the hell fragment and give it to the Nether Clan as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Nether Clan's move against the Dragon Clan.

As for the Hundred Herbs Alliance, Lin Moyu believed the Buddhist Clan could also offer a corresponding price. It was precisely to guard against these two points…

…that he had the Third Ancestor go to block them. If he guessed correctly, it could relieve a lot of pressure for the Dragon Clan.

If he guessed wrong, it would be no big deal and would not affect the overall situation.

As for Antares, based on Lin Moyu's understanding of the Dragon Clan, combined with his understanding of Antares…

…Antares hated the Dragon Clan and had a strange emotion toward them, even threatening to slaughter his way into the Dragon Clan.

Yet, he was still a member of the Dragon Clan, and Antares had never said he had nothing to do with them. Protecting their own was the Dragon Clan's nature.

Therefore, Lin Moyu wanted to let Antares know about this. As for what Antares would ultimately choose, that would be his own business.

Lin Moyu would not interfere, but before that, Lin Moyu also had his own things to do.

Dragon roars echoed through the sky; within the Western Paradise, another great battle erupted.

In the Pure Land, massive dragons soared in the air, divine dragons leading Holy Dragons.

They cast boundless spells, with thunder and flames enveloping more than half of the Western Paradise.

Amidst the Buddhist chants, golden light blossomed from the ground, and countless Buddhist runes emerged on the earth of the Western Paradise.

The Buddhist runes formed a formation that firmly resisted the Dragon Clan's attacks. Golden-bodied Buddhas appeared between heaven and earth, and various Buddhist techniques surged forth.

They fought intensely with the Dragon Clan. Similar battles had erupted many times recently.

It had always been a cycle of fighting and stopping. Sometimes, after a few battles…

…they would stop to negotiate once. Of course, the result was almost always a failure to reach an agreement.

Then they would continue to fight. The Dragon Clan's demand was very simple: the Buddhist Clan must abandon the establishment of the Dragon Division…

…and return all those Dragon Clan members who had been forcibly converted back to the Dragon Clan. The Buddhist Clan's attitude was somewhat strange.

They neither agreed nor refused. Lu Shudao asked in a low voice,

“Mr. Lin, there are some things I know I shouldn't ask, but I still want to ask.”

“What is the Third Ancestor's attitude? His attitude determines what the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce will do next. If the Third Ancestor wants to intervene…”

…I can also make some preparations. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of the Buddhist Clan.”

“Not to mention just the Buddhist Clan, even if the Buddhist Clan and the Zerg Clan join forces, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce still won't be afraid.”

Lin Moyu said, “The Third Ancestor doesn't have any clear attitude. For now, you should not get involved in this matter.”
