Chapter 4048: 4048 Chapter 4048: A Childish Plan A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Moyu’s mouth. The voice suddenly ringing in his soul was from the Lord of Darkness. This guy wanted to talk how interesting. Lin Moyu replied, "Talk about what?" The Lord of Darkness continued via soul transmission: "I have no life or death feud with Daoist Lin. I don’t wish to be your enemy. I was wrong in the past and am willing to apologize. I didn’t want to keep being your enemy, but was led astray and made a mistake." Lin Moyu said, "Now that you say this, why should I believe you?" The Lord of Darkness said, "I can immediately break with the God of Light, as long as Daoist Lin will let bygones be bygones." Lin Moyu replied, "It’s not that simple. If you want to settle things with me, there are only three ways: kill me, I kill you, or you kill him. There’s no fourth option." Although they didn’t have a mortal feud, there was at least a grudge. Settling it wasn’t so easy. Three paths, three choices: die standing, live kneeling, or kill the God of Light as proof of loyalty. Lin Moyu was no saint since they’d become enemies, there had to be a price. If he wasn’t strong enough, would the Lord of Darkness be here seeking peace? He was just afraid of dying! The Lord of Darkness hesitated. "But I’m not his match." Lin Moyu smiled. "That’s your problem." After a moment’s struggle, the Lord of Darkness said, "He’s only half a step from eternity. Daoist Lin, how about this: I lure him somewhere, you kill him, and I assist from the side." Lin Moyu knew that making the Lord of Darkness kill the God of Light alone wasn’t easy. So he said, "Fine, just let me know when and where." The Lord of Darkness seemed delighted. "Good, please wait for my message, Daoist Lin." Lin Moyu couldn’t help but smile, "What a poor performance." Shengxin was a bit puzzled she hadn’t understood Lin Moyu’s words, but didn’t ask. Lin Moyu watched the filth tide, thinking about what the Lord of Darkness had just said. The Lord of Darkness had no idea how high Lin Moyu’s soul realm was it had already surpassed most eternals and reached the limits of this world. If he wanted, Lin Moyu could eavesdrop on soul transmissions in the area. While the Lord of Darkness was talking to him, he was also sending soul transmissions to the God of Light. Lin Moyu heard it all. Seeking peace? This was just a play put on by the Lord of Darkness and the God of Light, using the pretense of reconciliation to lure Lin Moyu in. They’d set a trap, wait for him to walk into it, and then try to kill him. Here in the Origin Ancestral Land, on the Heaven and Earth Battlefield, they had nowhere else to run. They knew they couldn’t win head on, so they had to try something else. To Lin Moyu, this was nothing but child’s play so naïve. Maybe they’d never tried scheming before, so their plan was so immature. Since they wanted to play, Lin Moyu decided to play along. He’d been looking for a chance to get rid of them, and now they were digging their own graves. Lin Moyu’s gaze swept across the filth tide. Within it, tiny points of light kept appearing and then drifting away. Each point of light was the soul of a Dao Wild Beast; every filth tide saw at least ten thousand Dao Wild Beasts born. Lin Moyu noted the direction these lights traveled they were heading to where their bodies would form. Their paths were similar, so that must be the place where bodies were created. Three days later, the filth tide weakened. Shengxin said, "This filth tide lasted only three days. If any Dao Wild Beasts come now, it’ll probably just be a few scattered ones a small beast tide at most." Lin Moyu nodded. "There are hundreds of Great Dao Lords here. If it’s just a small beast tide, it won’t be a problem." Shengxin agreed, "With Daoist Lin here, even a big beast tide wouldn’t be an issue." Lin Moyu smiled but didn’t comment. He asked, "Other than after filth tides, do Dao Wild Beasts come at other times?" Shengxin said, "They do, but usually not in large numbers. With Grandpa Battle Sovereign here, we get warned right away if anything happens. Actually, the most troublesome are not Dao Wild Beasts, but the Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons. They show up in groups from time to time and are even more troublesome than Dao Wild Beasts in some ways." "Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons can absorb most attacks if you hit them with full force, less than ten percent actually works. That’s what makes them so hard to kill. They can also slip through formations without a sound, and by the time you notice, they’re already inside." Lin Moyu said, "They’re a bit like Soul Devouring Spirits." Shengxin replied, "Yes, but they can’t read memories, change shape, or be completely immune to attacks so they’re not the same. Luckily, they’re not too strong and not too numerous. They’re annoying, but we can kill them. The problem is their timing and location are unpredictable." The Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons were just troublesome, not dangerous unlike Dao Wild Beasts, which were dangerous in large numbers. Lin Moyu asked, "Dao Wild Beasts come to devour Daos. Why do the Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons come?" Shengxin shook her head. "No one knows, but it can’t be anything good. If Dao Wild Beasts devoured all the Daos, the world might be destroyed, but the Spirit Demons are a mystery." After three days, the filth tide finally receded. The Battle Sovereign sheathed his blade, his thousands of avatars still watching outside the formation. Soon, his voice boomed, "They’re here about two thousand, with three Dao Wild Beast Kings." His avatars vanished, leaving only one about a hundred thousand li from Lin Moyu. The Dao Wild Beasts were coming from there. Shengxin breathed a sigh of relief. "Just a small beast tide. It’ll be over quickly." Hundreds of Great Dao Lords flew toward the Battle Sovereign’s position. The formation opened, and a group of Great Dao Lords rushed out. Not all took part less than a hundred did. For a small beast tide, that was enough. Lin Moyu watched the battle outside the formation. The Great Dao Lords crushed the Dao Wild Beasts with overwhelming force. The beasts were no match most were killed in moments. The three Dao Wild Beast Kings were each surrounded by five Great Dao Lords and didn’t last long. The Great Dao Lords showed their might, holding the line at the Heaven and Earth Battlefield and keeping the enemy outside the formation. Lin Moyu noticed threads of energy descending from the heavens, landing on the Great Dao Lords who fought. "Heaven and Earth fortune."
