Chapter 3032: How Much Compensation, Fellow Daoist Lin Can Name Your Price
The straightforward Lei Hao's first thing after returning was to find Lin Moyu to drink.
The reason wasn't that he had advanced to peak Celestial Venerable, nor that he had gained some benefit in the ancestral grounds, but because he had gained a brother in life and death.
Lei Hao poured himself drinks, calling "brother" with every mouthful.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Aren't you worried at all that I killed Lei Xuan, and your father will come to settle accounts with me?"
Lei Hao said loudly, "That Lei Xuan fellow deserved to die. He brought it on himself, how can he blame anyone else?"
"If Father comes to settle accounts with you, I'll stand in front of you. If he wants to kill you, he'll have to kill me first."
"I want to see if he dares to kill me."
He had the look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, as if certain his father wouldn't kill him.
Seeing his expression, Lin Moyu naturally thought of four words: biting the hand that feeds you.
If his father Lei Ding knew about this, who knows what he would think.
Suddenly, a powerful aura crashed in from outside the courtyard. The courtyard gate shattered, and an angry voice came from outside, "You ungrateful brat, actually colluding with outsiders to kill your own brother!"
Lin Moyu was slightly startled, "What a coincidence?"
He instinctively looked at Lei Hao's fortune and saw that Lei Hao's fortune had undergone huge fluctuations, currently at its lowest point.
The fortune of every Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan member would fluctuate with the entire race's fortune.
The higher one's realm, the stronger their personal fortune, and the less affected they were by the race's fortune.
For Celestial Venerables like Lei Hao, with insufficient personal strength and fortune, they were greatly affected by the race's fortune.
However, Lin Moyu also saw that Lei Hao's fortune was influenced by his own fortune, so although his fortune was at its lowest, it was rapidly rising.
Lin Moyu wasn't at all flustered by Lei Ding's arrival.
Just a seventh-level elder, though troublesome, he didn't take him seriously.
Moreover, Lei Tian should arrive soon.
Lei Hao didn't know any of this. He quickly moved in front of Lin Moyu, looking at the angry Lei Ding, "Father, let's talk this over."
Lei Ding's body emitted purple light, with patterns glowing under his fur.
He glared angrily at Lei Hao, "You two brothers, no matter how you compete and kill each other, I don't care. But don't forget the rule I set down, you can't collude with outsiders."
Lei Hao said, "When did I collude with outsiders? It was Lei Xuan who colluded with outsiders to try to kill Brother Lin, but ended up being killed by Brother Lin."
Lei Ding shouted angrily, "Regardless, this outsider entered the ancestral grounds using your spot. Lei Xuan died by his hand in the ancestral grounds. He must pay the price. Get out of the way quickly, or I'll beat you too."
Lei Hao said, "Father, if you want to kill Brother Lin, you'll have to kill me first!"
At this moment, Lin Moyu gently patted Lei Hao's shoulder, stepping forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lei Hao, "Lei Ding, is it? Regarding Lei Xuan's death, originally for Lei Hao's sake, I didn't want to mention it again."
"Since you now want to kill me, then I won't be polite. Let's settle the account of Lei Xuan."
Lin Moyu's few sentences stunned both Lei Hao and Lei Ding.
Especially Lei Ding. It was clearly him coming to settle accounts with Lin Moyu, but from Lin Moyu's words, how did it become him coming to settle accounts with Lei Ding? This wasn't right!
Lin Moyu didn't give him time to think, "Lei Xuan attacked me and was killed in retaliation. Although he died, the fact that he attacked me is true. So this account should be settled on your head."
"Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Lin Moyu turned from guest to host, directly asking Lei Ding for compensation.
Compensation? After being stunned for a few seconds, Lei Ding finally reacted, roaring, "Compensate my ass! My son is dead, and you dare ask me for compensation?"
Lin Moyu still had a matter-of-fact expression, "Of course. What your son Lei Xuan did is called attempted murder. He died because he was less skilled. He deserved it. The compensation can't be reduced by a bit."
Lei Ding was already confused by anger. He found that Lin Moyu was truly unreasonable. Though he had no reason, every sentence was said with righteous confidence. He almost got drawn in.
"Go to hell!" Lei Ding didn't want to waste more words with Lin Moyu and directly moved to kill him.
At this moment, Lei Hao again stood in front of Lin Moyu, with a look of facing death unflinchingly, saying "kill me first if you want to kill him."
Lei Ding naturally wouldn't really kill Lei Hao. He roared, "Lei Hao, get out of the way quickly!"
Lei Hao was very firm, "I won't. If you want to kill Brother Lin, kill me first!"
Lin Moyu spoke again at this time, "I didn't expect Lei Hao's father to be such a person, so unreasonable, refusing to pay compensation and wanting to silence people by killing them."
Lei Ding was about to explode with anger, gritting his teeth, "Compensate your ass..."
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly an authoritative voice rang out, "Of course there must be compensation. How much compensation, Fellow Daoist Lin can name your price."
A powerful aura fell from the sky, enveloping the entire estate.
Beams of purple light shot out from the pagoda in the center of Purple Tiger City, covering the entire city.
In Purple Tiger City, in the area where the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan lived, there was a ten-thousand-meter-tall tower reaching into the sky, called the Purple Tiger Pagoda.
The top area of the Purple Tiger Pagoda was perpetually surrounded by lightning, emitting a formidable aura.
At this moment, purple light turned into clouds and mist, covering Purple Tiger City.
Within the clouds and mist, dense purple lightning danced like electric snakes.
A terrifying aura poured down like a waterfall. A huge purple tiger appeared within the clouds and mist.
Lin Moyu sensed Lei Tian's aura and inwardly laughed, "Just to make an appearance, is such a big commotion necessary?"
Within the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan, the clan leader's authority was supreme.
Usually Lei Tian rarely moved, but now that he moved, he created such a grand display. It was really quite frightening.
Not just Lei Ding, but countless Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan members in Purple Tiger City now felt the terrifying pressure brought by Lei Tian.
All Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan members knew their clan leader was about to appear.
The clan leader was usually elusive, rarely seen under normal circumstances. Now he was actually going to appear in public.
Countless people knelt on the ground, respectfully awaiting Lei Tian.
Lei Ding's body trembled.
He had clearly heard what his clan leader said. Compensation naturally had to be paid.
These words were obviously directed at him, and his clan leader called Lin Moyu "Fellow Daoist Lin", indicating they knew each other.
Lei Hao showed a strange expression, "Brother Lin, you know the clan leader?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "I said before, I had met your clan leader once. No, it's more than once now. In the ancestral grounds, I met him again."
Lei Ding's body trembled, and he cried out involuntarily, "You met the clan leader in the ancestral grounds?"
As a seventh-level elder, he knew his clan leader had also gone to the ancestral grounds this time, and had entered the ninth level.
For Lin Moyu to have seen Lei Tian meant Lin Moyu had also gone to the ninth level.
But how could a second-level Dao Venerable enter the ninth level?
Lei Ding felt his brain wasn't working well enough. No matter how he thought, he couldn't understand what was going on.
The purple tiger in the sky suddenly flew downwards, aiming directly at where Lei Ding was. The tiger changed form as it descended, finally appearing before Lin Moyu with Lei Tian's face.
