Chapter 3500: There's No Such Thing as Foolproof in This World
After some persistent negotiation with the Three Ancestors, Lin Moyu finally obtained the information related to the small town.
After closing the formation, Lin Moyu carefully read through the information and understood what was going on.
The small town was indeed part of a relic from beyond the sky. Originally, the Three Ancestors had planned to take Lin Moyu to this relic, but when opening the passage, there was a problem with the formation.
This relic from beyond the sky was originally hidden in a space between layers. The problem with the formation caused part of the relic to enter the space of the Origin Continent.
Later, the Three Ancestors had been trying to send it back, but that required repositioning the space, which couldn't be done in just a day or two.
Fortunately, the Three Ancestors later found that space and set up the formation, just waiting for that space to be relatively close to the Origin Continent to send it away.
The information told Lin Moyu that the small town wasn't safe, with dangers everywhere. Ordinary Dao Venerables would have difficulty moving around inside.
The Three Ancestors could let others go in without worry, but not Lin Moyu, because he wasn't sure if these dangers could stop Lin Moyu.
The information also said that the being sleeping in the center of the small town was actually a powerful war puppet.
It was created back then to deal with powerful beings from the Black Blood Realm. Its strength was very powerful, not much weaker than an average Great Dao realm being.
That's why the Three Ancestors were so wary of it.
Because it was a puppet, the Great Dao wouldn't punish it, so it could act unrestrained on the Origin Continent.
After reading the information, Lin Moyu still decided to go and see for himself.
If that thing really came out, at least he couldn't let it threaten Yuedao City.
Leaving the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce, Lin Moyu directly used teleportation to leave Yuedao City.
He teleported hundreds of thousands of miles away, then got on the Cloud-Piercing Sword and flew through the sky.
Soon, a not-so-large small town appeared in Lin Moyu's view.
Looking from the air, the small town was circular, with a diameter of only about 100,000 meters.
"This is..." Lin Moyu looked at the small town, reminded of the Dao Protection Fortress.
The Dao Protection Fortress had 360 caves, each cave being a formation eye.
This circular small town was the same as the caves in Rift Wind Cliff; it was also a formation eye.
The circular plate under the small town was a formation disk serving as a formation eye.
But while it was a formation eye, it was also a military camp.
It wasn't a military camp for cultivators to live in. Judging by the layout of the small town, this was a camp for storing puppets.
"It seems the main fighting force of this Dao Protection Fortress is mainly puppets," Lin Moyu murmured softly, while activating his Undead Eye.
Under the Undead Eye, numerous soul flames appeared in the small town.
These soul flames were all from cultivators who had gone in to explore, numbering several hundred, which wasn't a small amount.
They were distributed throughout the small town, but all were in the outskirts, unable to approach the center.
Besides these cultivators, Lin Moyu also saw a special soul flame in the center of the small town.
This soul flame wasn't the kind that living beings should have, but the soul flame of a spirit.
The soul flame was flickering very slowly, seemingly in a deep sleep.
"This must be the one the Three Ancestors mentioned. It's indeed sleeping and doesn't look like it will wake up anytime soon." After seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Moyu felt a bit more at ease.
However, he didn't plan to leave just yet. He wanted to stay and watch until the small town left before he could feel completely reassured.
The Three Ancestors were making final preparations, and the small town would remain here for another ten days or so.
The Human Emperor was clever not to let people from Yuedao City come. Indeed, they shouldn't come. The small town wasn't safe, and there wouldn't be any gains.
At the same time, Lin Moyu found something strange, "With the Three Ancestors' ability, why would the formation they set up have problems? This shouldn't happen!"
"When the Three Ancestors mentioned earlier that their formation had problems, their tone seemed a bit different."
"If the problem wasn't on the Three Ancestors' side..."
Lin Moyu didn't believe the Three Ancestors would really make a mistake in the formation. If it wasn't the Three Ancestors' problem, he had to consider some conspiracy theories.
Back then, there was a group of people trying to rebel against the Beast Emperor.
And when the Beast Emperor went to deal with this matter, there was no follow-up.
Could there be similar people on the Three Ancestors' side, secretly tampering with things?
He knew the Three Ancestors wouldn't easily appear in person. For setting up formations, at most they would give some instructions from behind the scenes, which would give people opportunities to tamper.
Lin Moyu wasn't sure if his thoughts were correct. He had no certainty, and even felt a bit ridiculous for being too conspiratorial.
"If someone is really sabotaging things behind the scenes, then letting the small town fall down must be just the first step."
"The second step should be to wake up that thing inside, causing chaos."
"How strong is this puppet that even the Three Ancestors are so wary of it?"
Lin Moyu sat cross-legged in the air, waiting quietly.
Almost no one discovered his presence. The sun and moon, the two great Origins, alternated, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Calculating the time, in another ten days, the Three Ancestors would send the small town back to where it should be.
At the moment when the moon and sun Origins alternated for the fourth time, a streak of light flew over from afar.
Recently, many people had been coming to explore the small town, coming and going, so a streak of light wasn't strange at all.
But Lin Moyu suddenly opened his eyes as if by premonition, and his spiritual sense sent out a faint warning.
In the streak of light was a person in a black robe. Lin Moyu frowned; this black-robed person's aura was very similar to the one he encountered when killing Yan Bei.
"Sure enough!"
Without thinking, Lin Moyu lightly pointed his finger.
Space distorted, and the Skeleton Hell appeared in response.
Just as the Skeleton Hell appeared, the black-robed person's speed suddenly increased.
The speed was so fast that even Lin Moyu felt shocked.
The black-robed person seemed to teleport, crossing a distance of nearly 100,000 kilometers in less than 0.1 seconds, rushing into the small town.
Lin Moyu was shocked inwardly, "This speed has already surpassed the ninth level of Dao Venerable."
He knew this wasn't the speed the black-robed person should have. The black-robed person's own aura wasn't even that of a seventh-level elder. He must have used some special treasure to instantly possess such speed.
Lin Moyu felt somewhat helpless, "There's really no such thing as foolproof in this world."
Even he couldn't possibly cover all bases. There would always be a flaw even in the most perfect plan.
Now that the person had entered the small town, Lin Moyu didn't follow in.
He wanted to see what the other party could do.
But he didn't just wait idly. Instead, he began to draw divine runes.
Several divine runes flew out, forming a not-too-complex divine rune formation, about fourth grade.
After the formation had been running for over ten seconds, the Three Ancestors' voice suddenly came from within the formation: "How did you contact here?"
The Three Ancestors' voice clearly carried surprise, showing shock that Lin Moyu could directly contact them.
Lin Moyu said, "This formation isn't difficult. After looking at it a few times, I naturally learned it. The reason I'm contacting you is to let you know that someone rushed into the small town, not sure what they're going to do."
The Three Ancestors said, "What kind of person?"
Lin Moyu said, "I don't know their identity. I've seen them once in the Northern Continent. Those people seemed to be trying to oppose the Beast Emperor."
Lin Moyu recounted what had just happened, and the Three Ancestors couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
