Chapter 4412: Protecting Lin Little Friend
Was the object for which countless top experts of that era fought a flower?
Actually, Chaos Child hadn't yet fully regained his memory; the only reason he knew it was a flower was that there were eighteen corpses in his inner world.These corpses had all been Supremes or quasi Supremes, though just powerhouses in his inner world not the true powerhouses of chaos or ancient desolation.
You could think of these experts as Chaos Child's followers once, they'd fought for him, and they had witnessed that flower.Recently, through their lingering memories, Chaos Child had learned some details, including the image of the flower.He still couldn't be sure; without Lin Moyu blocking causality, he wouldn't have dared to even mention this.
Even so, those memories were fragmented; he truly didn't know exactly what that flower was.
Lin Moyu didn't pursue it any further everything that could be said had been said.Now he knew what had happened back then: these two, once unmatched beings who had disassembled themselves to survive, were now bound to him.Their fates and his were one if he died, they could not survive.
That meant Lin Moyu could fully trust them; even if they regained all memories and might, betrayal was impossible.He never used any methods to control them he thought that would be unnecessary and even insulting.
Trust is sometimes a strange kind of power.
This time, his harvest was immense learning the past was only one part; the real gain was discovering, by chance, that surviving five hundred consecutive rebirths strengthened body and soul.This led to a whole new possible path. If he could continue, his future would be limitless.
He also pondered his rebirth talent was it truly from the system?Why did he have a system at all? What even was a "system," a thing full of technological flair, and where did it come from?Answers led to further mysteries; the world hid too many secrets.
Lin Moyu returned to his body, feeling his much strengthened flesh and soul as he left the formation's core.Outside the array, a fierce battle raged.
The Wine Sovereign gripped his wine gourd in his left hand, drinking between strikes, while his sword howled through the air.He faced three opponents all Full Completion cultivators, all from chaos.They were nearly equal to the Wine Sovereign in power, and together fought him to a standstill.
Lin Moyu did not leave the array; he wasn't qualified to join such a fight even the aftermath would be lethal. He watched from the protection of the formation, a mere spectator.
After observing for a while, Lin Moyu noticed that the Wine Sovereign wasn't using his full strength likely not even sixty percent.
He was clearly waiting… sometimes glancing toward another direction. It seemed he was waiting for someone the real enemy, the one still hiding.
"The three are just bait. The real foe hasn't shown himself. But how did they find Wine Sovereign in this vast land? Clearly, there's something suspicious here."
Lin Moyu quickly worked out many things.
The Wine Sovereign drank and swept his sword, the domain treasure sending out endless sword light and pushing the three back.
He glanced toward the grand array, saw Lin Moyu, and smiled before looking back into the void."Old bug, how long do you plan to hide? Don't think I won't kill if you keep this up."
A cold laugh came from the void: "So that's why you're staying guarding this little fellow. Is this boy your disciple? Didn't know you took on students."
A black robed old man appeared his aura powerful, nearly equal to the Wine Sovereign.A scar ran across his face, centipede like and hideous.
Lin Moyu realized the other had mistaken him for the Wine Sovereign's disciple, thinking Wine Sovereign stood guard for his sake.Wine Sovereign's earlier glance only reinforced this.
Indeed, Wine Sovereign made it clear he remained to protect Lin Moyu.
Most people wanted to sever ties, but Wine Sovereign insisted on forcing ties.Yet he wouldn't go out of his way for just anyone his regard meant he thought highly of Lin Moyu.
He was no fool; unless benefit was involved, he rarely acted.The two had just met, shared a drink and a chat hardly the stuff of sworn brotherhood.
It was simply a win win arrangement; if Lin Moyu succeeded in the future, perhaps he could help Wine Sovereign; if Wine Sovereign triumphed, he might help in return.
So Lin Moyu accepted why refuse?
Facing the scarred elder, Wine Sovereign tipped back his wine: "Old Centipede, Lin isn't my disciple, but you're right, I'm staying here to protect him."
Cold light flickered in Old Centipede's eyes his murderous intent on Lin Moyu."Lin? He's just Chaos Minor Completion trash. You make friends with such waste? You must be senile."
Wine Sovereign was unconcerned. "You have a choice: take your three dogs and get out now, or I'll unsheath my sword and butcher dogs today!"
He spoke with drunken arrogance, not giving Old Centipede any face.
His three Full Completion subordinates called "three dogs" by Wine Sovereign flushed with killing intent, but deferentially held back because Old Centipede was present.
Old Centipede sneered: "To the end, you're still spouting nonsense. Today you die, and so does that trash behind you. The formation will be mine as well!"
He threw out a triangular array disc that expanded into a massive formation, covering tens of millions of miles including both Wine Sovereign and Lin Moyu's protected array.
Wine Sovereign's "three dogs" moved to the array's three corners; Old Centipede stood in the center.
Wine Sovereign didn't even raise an eyebrow. "Old Centipede, have you gone senile? You know I'm a master of formations do you really think this array…"
He was interrupted: "Of course I know. But you might not be able to break this one."
He activated two more discs, creating overlapping formations the combined power and stability soared, making breaking through much harder.Terrifying pressure rolled over as Wine Sovereign's body trembled and his aura faltered but he showed no fear, calmly studying the array.
"If I'm not mistaken, this array was designed by Fellow Daoist Ear East, wasn't it?"
