Chapter 2952: If It's Optional, Then Let's Not Say It

The Ice and Fire Secret Treasury opens once every ten years, with only ten slots available each time. These ten slots are given on a first-come, first-served basis. Previously, with several Seventh Realm Ancestors present, everyone had to line up obediently and enter in order. But now, with the sudden intervention of the Hundred Herb Alliance, the two Seventh Realm Ancestors of the demon clan and the two from the Hundred Herb Alliance have already started fighting, making it difficult to determine a winner. Meanwhile, the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury has suddenly opened and started spewing flames. Whether the previous queue still holds is anyone's guess.

Lu Zeng ignored the demon clan and simply told Lin Moyu to enter the treasury immediately. In this chaos, it's likely that the demon clan will also rush in, rendering the previous order useless. When the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury opens, it first spews flames, then ice, and finally both simultaneously. Once all the ice and flames disappear, the treasury officially opens.

The treasury is already spewing flames, and in two minutes, it will switch to ice, and finally, both will spew simultaneously. There are three waves in total, lasting five to six minutes, with some variation each time. Therefore, Lin Moyu needs to be ready at any moment to enter the treasury.

The treasury spews a massive amount of flames, scorching everything in its path, far more powerful than the flames Chi Lie had unleashed earlier. The treasury's flames are different from ordinary flames, containing a peculiar power. Lin Moyu felt it wasn't the power of the Great Dao, as the flames contained many impurities, yet their power was immense.

The eighty-one houses surrounding the treasury lit up simultaneously, activating the formation to form a strong defense, confining the flames to a specific area. These houses had been there for many years, withstanding countless openings of the treasury and the flames and ice it spewed. But today was different. Previously, there were people inside the houses to control the formation, greatly enhancing its power. Now, with the Seventh Realm Ancestors fighting, all the demon clan members were forced to retreat, unable to approach the houses, let alone control the formation.

As a formation master, Lin Moyu noticed, "If no one controls this formation, it might not withstand the treasury's ice and flames." Lu Zeng smiled, "If it can't withstand, isn't that better?" He didn't seem to care and indeed had no reason to.

Because Lu Weiguang and Lu Weihui had already entered the houses to control the formation, there would be no issues on their side. The problem would only be on the demon clan's side. If their formation couldn't withstand the treasury's ice and flames, it wouldn't collapse but would allow the power to overflow. This would force the demon clan to retreat further, giving Lin Moyu a chance to rush in.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Lu Zeng had already calculated everything clearly. Lin Moyu looked at the Dao Sovereigns of the Hundred Herb Alliance, who showed no signs of stopping, and then at the two grasses on the Seventh Realm Ancestors. He suddenly understood, "The Hundred Herb Alliance wants to muddy the waters to send those two grasses in. They knew from the start they couldn't get slots, so they'd just force their way in!"

Lu Zeng said, "Mr. Lin, you have a keen eye. I think the Hundred Herb Alliance's real goal is just that." Lin Moyu laughed, "Asking for four slots is a ruse; sending these two grasses in is the real goal." "Given the current situation, the demon clan hasn't noticed this. These two grasses will surely find a way in. Should we tell the demon clan?" Lu Zeng laughed, "It's optional. If Mr. Lin wants to say it, I'll say it for you."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Since it's optional, let's not say it." Lu Zeng laughed out loud, "Mr. Lin is right. If it's optional, then let's not say it. The demon clan's affairs are none of our concern." Lin Moyu whispered, "Each person sweeps the snow in front of their own door, not worrying about the frost on others' tiles."

Boom! The flames from the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury suddenly disappeared, replaced by a massive surge of cold air. The areas previously scorched by flames were instantly frozen. Where ice and fire met, everything became extremely fragile.

Except for Lin Moyu's side, the demon clan's formation was completely overwhelmed, with cold air leaking out and sweeping into the distance. The demon clan's formation had already collapsed, making it difficult to approach. Only Lu Zeng's side remained unscathed.

Lu Zeng said, "This wave of power isn't strong. The final simultaneous burst of ice and flames is the real power, affecting a hundred thousand miles. Ice and fire are mutually reinforcing and counteracting, capable of enhancing each other." "When their power reaches its limit, it will quickly weaken. Mr. Lin, seize that moment to rush in." Lin Moyu said, "Don't worry, Senior Lu, I understand."

Not only did Lin Moyu understand, but many in the demon clan also realized it and were ready. Two minutes later, the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury roared again. All the coldness vanished in an instant, but before a second had passed, the treasury erupted again, spewing countless icy flames.

The two opposing forces collided in the void, creating an even more formidable force. The collision of the two powers unleashed a force close to the Dao Sovereign Seventh Realm. The terrifying power swept across a hundred thousand miles, forcing the demon clan to retreat further. Only Lei Xiaocang and Jin Jutao, the two Seventh Realm Ancestors, could ignore it. The two Seventh Realm Ancestors of the Qingyuan Giant Trees were the same.

The four Seventh Realm Ancestors fought fiercely, their power surpassing that of the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury. Lin Moyu was ready, poised to rush in at any moment. The eruption of the treasury lasted 89 seconds, and at the 90th second, the power suddenly weakened. This weakening was silent; one second, the terrifying power raged, and the next, it vanished.

Lin Moyu reacted quickly. As the power disappeared, the Wings of the Undead unfurled, vibrating madly. He transformed into a flash of lightning, rushing towards the treasury. Confident in his speed and proximity to the treasury, he was sure to be first.

At this moment, red and blue lights alternated behind him, intertwining. The two grasses with opposing attributes intertwined, their powers colliding, propelling them forward at incredible speed. Behind them, explosions occurred, but their speed left the sounds far behind, making their advance silent.

Lin Moyu glanced back and saw the intertwining ice and fire grasses. "I didn't expect this!" Lin Moyu chuckled and sped towards the treasury. Lei Xiaocang reacted quickly. Although the ice and fire grasses broke through his defense unexpectedly, he wouldn't let them pass easily. "Don't think you can escape!" With a roar, boundless lightning fell from the sky. The Thunder Light Purple Stripe Tiger excelled at manipulating lightning. The dense lightning transformed into a sea of thunder, blocking the path of the ice and fire grasses.

Lin Moyu chuckled, waved at the grasses as if to say, "I'm going in first, good luck," and disappeared into the treasury. The two Seventh Realm Ancestors of the Qingyuan Giant Trees roared simultaneously, leaves flying like snow, falling into the sea of thunder. The leaves exploded, creating a rift in the sea of thunder. The ice and fire grasses instantly dashed into the rift, disappearing!
