Chapter 368: If Something Happens to Xiaoyu, the Dongfang Family Will Be Annihilated
Lin Moyu remembered what Meng Anwen had once told him. Opportunities often come with dangers. Sometimes, the more dangerous a place is, the greater the opportunity it hides. But behind great opportunities, there can also be death.
Lin Moyu kept this in mind, and now it seemed to be true. The Corpse Realm, which Dongfang Yao described as extremely dangerous, where even god-level experts could die, unexpectedly contained such a wondrous thing as the Genesis Lightning.
Lin Moyu had been struck by lightning hundreds of times on this journey, and the warm current within him grew stronger and stronger, making Lin Moyu happier and happier.
It had been seven days since they entered the Corpse Realm, and they had traveled more than 3,000 kilometers in those seven days.
Lin Moyu’s chosen direction seemed to be correct, as the level of the corpses they encountered kept increasing. Now, the corpses they met had all surpassed level 20.
After being struck by the Genesis Lightning, a level 20 corpse could evolve to level 24, but the rate of evolution had slowed down.
This was because the experience gained from the Genesis Lightning remained the same, but the higher the level, the more experience was needed to level up.
Naturally, the rate of leveling up would slow down.
"Have you noticed a pattern?" Lin Moyu asked.
Dongfang Yao looked at him with a hint of confusion, "What pattern?"
Lin Moyu said, "I noticed that the corpses that were struck by lightning and leveled up left their original area."
"So I guess that corpses of different levels have their own activity areas."
Dongfang Yao’s eyes lit up slightly, "If we follow the pattern that the closer we get to the center, the higher the level of the corpses, then as long as we follow the direction the corpses are moving, we’ll be able to reach the center."
Dongfang Yao was not stupid. With Lin Moyu’s reminder, she immediately understood.
Lin Moyu nodded, "That’s right, so these past few days, I’ve been adjusting our direction, and we shouldn’t have gone the wrong way."
Only then did Dongfang Yao notice that Lin Moyu had indeed made slight adjustments to their direction several times in the past few days. It turned out he was following the path of the corpses.
Seeming to think of something, her pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, and she blurted out, "I thought..."
"Thought what?" Lin Moyu looked at her strangely, not knowing what this princess was thinking.
Dongfang Yao said in a low voice, "I thought you were adjusting the direction these past few days to find the rainstorms and get struck by lightning."
The corners of Lin Moyu’s mouth twitched twice. Women’s thoughts were a bit strange.
"That’s one aspect, but the most important thing is to find the path to the center."
Lin Moyu was still thinking about returning, as the Ancestral Land of the Genesis Academy was about to open, and he couldn’t miss it.
This was related to whether he could achieve profession sublimation during his third job change.
Because his attributes had increased so much during his second job change, the effect of profession sublimation didn’t seem to have manifested.
But Lin Moyu was very clear in his heart that if it weren’t for profession sublimation, his attributes couldn’t have exploded like this.
It would be the same for his third job change. Completing two profession sublimations would push his attributes to the limit.
At this time, the outside world was in an uproar.
The Divine Summer Empire had experienced several major events in succession.
The military and the empire simultaneously issued arrest warrants for former members of the royal family: Dongfang Tuo and Dongfang Shun.
The two had disappeared like rats, vanishing without a trace.
With a single order from Dongfang Yi, the two were declared guilty of treason against the human race and could be killed on sight.
The trials of the Divine Summer Tower had finally ended three days ago, after which Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng arrived together at Fortress No. 9.
It was said that on that day, Fortress No. 9 was filled with a murderous aura.
Several people were executed on the spot.
The third event was that a nationwide campaign was launched against the Demon Worshippers.
This campaign would last for a long time, and who knows how many people would be executed.
However, for the human race, anyone associated with the Abyss demons deserved to die.
After leaving Fortress No. 9, Bai Yiyuan did not return to the White God’s Residence but instead entered the Soul Palace within Fortress No. 1, where he focused on Lin Moyu’s soul imprint.
Yan Kuangsheng returned to the Divine Summer Tower, and since his return, a terrifying murderous aura had lingered like a dark cloud over the imperial palace.
The people in Xia Jing City could see that a layer of black clouds constantly shrouded the imperial palace.
The atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme, and all members of the royal family were afraid to speak out.
After all, the owner of this murderous aura was Yan Kuangsheng, and might made right.
On the fifteenth day after Lin Moyu’s disappearance, a person arrived outside the imperial palace.
She was tall and slender, with a near-perfect appearance, long, straight legs, and an extraordinary charm that emanated from her entire being.
Her arrival attracted countless gazes.
She walked gracefully towards the teleportation array outside the royal palace.
"Who are you?"
A group of guards stationed at the teleportation array immediately stopped her.
She let out a charming laugh, and two exquisite swords appeared in her hands.
With a few flashes of her swords, her movements as graceful as a dance, the entire squad of six guards, with an average level exceeding 55, was severely injured.
Then, with a few more sword strikes, she directly destroyed the teleportation array outside the palace.
Shrill alarms rang out from within the palace, and the powerful experts inside quickly took to the air, rushing towards her.
"How dare you!"
"Do you know the crime you’ve committed by destroying the royal teleportation array?"
These past few days, the royal family had already been troubled enough.
With the dark clouds looming overhead, even breathing felt oppressive.
They never expected someone to come knocking on their door.
And it was an exceptionally beautiful woman, no less.
Lin Moxuan held her twin swords and slowly rose into the air, standing gracefully in mid-air.
Her clear voice echoed throughout the entire palace, "From this day forth, no one from the royal family is permitted to take a single step outside the palace. Anyone who leaves will be killed without mercy."
Her voice was melodious and pleasant, but her words were filled with killing intent.
"What audacity!"
"She must be seeking death!"
Several top-level professionals from the royal family sneered coldly and simultaneously attacked Lin Moxuan.
With a graceful twist of her exquisite figure, Lin Moxuan’s sword aura transformed into a dragon, instantly blasting back the top-level professionals and severely injuring them to the point where they couldn’t get up.
The vast difference in strength between these top-level professionals was evident.
Lin Moxuan acted as if she had done something trivial, and her voice gradually turned cold, "If anything happens to Xiaoyu, I will annihilate your Dongfang family!"
Inside the palace, in the main hall, the ruler Dongfang Yi, the god-level expert Dongfang Zhan, and some elders of the family had gathered.
They were about to take action, but Dongfang Yi stopped them.
"How infuriating, to be attacked at our own doorstep!"
"Ruler, why are you stopping us?"
They all clamored incessantly.
Dongfang Zhan said coldly, "When has our Dongfang family ever suffered such insult? Ruler, what is your reason for stopping us?"
Dongfang Yi sighed, "Her name is Lin Moxuan, and she is Lin Moyu’s elder sister."
These past few days, their family’s troubles had all been because of Lin Moyu.
But it wasn’t just Lin Moyu who had fallen into the Corpse Realm; their princess was also trapped there.
The members of the royal family had already endured enough humiliation, and a few of them, unable to contain their anger any longer, shouted loudly, "Even if we were in the wrong regarding the God General Lin’s matter, but for her to openly attack our doorstep like this, where is the face of our Dongfang family?"
"I see she’s only level 70. Let me go and deal with her, at most I won’t harm her."
Dongfang Yi shook his head, "It’s not that simple. Lin Moxuan is that person’s disciple, her only disciple."
That person...
Everyone gasped in cold air.
The only person Dongfang Yi would refer to as "that person" was the one and only in the entire human race.
Her younger brother was not only a God General but also the disciple of the White God, the Mad God, and the God of Peace, the three supreme deities.
As for his elder sister, she was even more monstrous, reaching level 70 at such a young age, with terrifying strength, and being accepted as that person’s only disciple.
Everyone cursed inwardly.
Why did they have to provoke these two freaks?
Take action?
Who dared to take action now?
If they harmed even a single hair on Lin Moxuan, that person might directly take action and annihilate the entire Dongfang family.
That person’s protectiveness was well-documented in history.
They could only swallow their anger.
Grind their teeth and swallow them whole.
Now, they could only pray that nothing would happen to Lin Moyu.
Otherwise, the Dongfang family would truly be finished.
The Divine Summer Empire might as well change its ruling family.
In front of Lin Moyu and Dongfang Yao was a rainstorm with a diameter exceeding ten kilometers.
The area covered by the previous rainstorm was fixed and unchanging.
But this rainstorm was slowly moving, bringing torrential rain and terrifying lightning strikes.
The environment had changed.
Thunderous roars echoed from within the rainstorm, accompanied by one lightning bolt after another.
Vaguely, they could see many corpses standing in the rain, some of them with strange shapes.
Lin Moyu realized that he had entered a completely different area.
Suddenly, everything went dark in front of him, and Dongfang Yao cried out, "Be careful!"
A black shadow slammed into Lin Moyu with great force.
The skeletal armor flashed with white light, deflecting the shadow back.
The shadow rolled on the ground and then bounced back towards them at an incredible speed, far surpassing any corpse they had encountered before.
"An Abyss Hellhound."
