**Chapter 2452: Lin Moyu's Flattery**
Upon hearing the screams, Lin Moyu's expression changed. The Wings of the Undead flapped rapidly, accelerating his speed. His soul power was consumed without regard for cost. As long as there was enough soul power, the speed of the Wings of the Undead could continuously increase without limit. Unfortunately, the space laws here could not be utilized; otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
Another scream echoed. The creatures in the dense forest were awakening, and they seemed to reject all foreign entities. A Celestial Sovereign was attacked and flew into the air. A gentle breeze blew past, and his body, along with his soul, was silently shattered. The breeze in the air was even more terrifying than the creatures in the forest. Some activated the Realm Sea Token and left under its protection. The screams were like a death knell, urging those in the forest to move quickly or face death.
Lin Moyu scanned the forest; everyone was desperately rushing. He wasn't the fastest, only in the middle of the pack.
"I should be able to make it!" Lin Moyu calculated. Based on the current situation, he should be able to reach the mountain top before the knocking sound stopped. This mountain was peculiar; only by entering it could one realize its vastness. From the outside, the peak was visible, but once inside, it was a different space altogether. The height of the forest was unimaginable. Otherwise, with the speed of Lin Moyu and the other Celestial Sovereigns, they would have reached the top long ago.
The knocking sound was slowing down, and more people activated the Realm Sea Token to return. Suddenly, the knocking sound ceased! Lin Moyu's face changed drastically. According to his calculations, the knocking sound should have lasted at least another minute. Why did it suddenly stop? This minute was a matter of life and death for him. He felt soul fires rising around him, and several powerful wills locked onto him. These forest creatures, driven by instinctive brutality, exuded a wave of emotionless killing intent.
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu unleashed the undying flames, summoning several Skeleton Kings. Preemptive strikes were crucial, and the Skeleton Kings charged at the creatures. The rule world rose, and the Bone Slash God was unleashed. Lin Moyu completed a series of operations in an instant, successfully drawing the creatures' attention. The creatures immediately attacked the Skeleton Kings, killing them on the spot. Lin Moyu knew that the Skeleton Kings, being low-level Celestial Sovereigns, couldn't withstand the creatures' attacks. Their purpose was to buy him time.
In an instant, dozens of Skeleton Kings were killed, revealing the true forms of the creatures. Some were common creatures like wolves and dogs but covered in fish scales. There were also mantises with fish scales and even rats taller than humans but with crab-like lower bodies. Each creature was unique but related to the Realm Sea. Lin Moyu's mind raced, and the Skeleton Generals flew out. With the Skeleton Kings present, the Skeleton Generals inherited their spells, wielding the Bone Slash God. Although the Bone Slash God cast by the Skeleton Generals wasn't very powerful, it had the advantage of being unavoidable and numerous.
The creatures were once again drawn to the Skeleton Generals and began attacking them. Lin Moyu commanded the Skeleton Generals to spread out, delaying as much time as possible while he continued to ascend. The Skeleton Generals loyally executed the orders, continuously attacking the creatures. Lin Moyu seized the opportunity to move, quickly covering the remaining distance and finally reaching the mountain top. The peak was enveloped in a peculiar aura, and Lin Moyu knew that the forest creatures wouldn't follow him here.
Indeed, as soon as Lin Moyu reached the peak, all sense of danger receded like a tide. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I made it!"
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and a gentle, pleasant voice sounded in his ear, "Lin Xiaoyou, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Greetings, Senior Lu!"
Lu Fengyao chuckled, "Meeting is fate. No need to call me senior; if you don't mind, just call me sister."
Lin Moyu didn't hesitate, "Thank you, Sister Fengyao."
With a change in address, their relationship became much closer. Lu Fengyao laughed, "Lin Xiaodi, you're quite interesting. To reach here, you must be very capable."
Lin Moyu replied, "I was just lucky, unlike you, Sister, who got here by strength."
Lu Fengyao laughed heartily, "I didn't expect Lin Xiaodi to be so good at flattery, but I like it."
Lin Moyu knew she didn't genuinely enjoy flattery. High-level Celestial Sovereigns had firm Dao hearts; mere flattery meant nothing. She was just giving him face because he had reached here as a Supreme. Lu Fengyao saw him in a new light because of this.
Lin Moyu looked around. The platform was vast, and the space had expanded countless times. There was wind at the peak, howling, but it wasn't the deadly breeze. On the other side of the platform, Lin Moyu saw several dragons. There had been ten dragons initially, but now only seven remained; the whereabouts of the other three were unknown. On another side were the insect race members; five had come, but only three remained, with two missing.
The dragons glared at the insect race with hatred but didn't make a move. Their battle had stopped the moment the knocking sound ceased. Lin Moyu whispered, "Sister Fengyao, do you know what's going on?"
Lu Fengyao shook her head, "I just got here too, so I'm not sure."
"But I guess it has something to do with the altar in the center."
In the center of the platform stood an altar. It seemed empty, but Lin Moyu knew it couldn't be that simple. He had seen a phantom at the mountain top from the foot of the mountain, likely caused by the altar. More people crossed the forest and entered the platform. These people had their means to avoid the forest creatures. Those who made it here were all strong. They looked at Lin Moyu with surprise, whether human or demon. They couldn't understand how a peak Supreme had made it here. The dangers along the way were enough to kill Lin Moyu. At the same time, they became wary, knowing Lin Moyu must have unknown means to reach here.
The humans looked at him with complex expressions, a mix of envy and jealousy. The demons, however, showed blatant killing intent. The dragons focused on the insect race, ignoring Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu wondered, "Why hasn't anyone from the Hundred Herbs Alliance come?"
Lu Fengyao casually replied, "They're not suited for this place. I guess they've already returned. They were just here for show."
Lin Moyu frowned, "If that's the case, why did they participate in the Realm Sea Token event?"
Lu Fengyao laughed, "You don't understand. The content of the Realm Sea Token event varies. Sometimes, it doesn't require traveling. When that's the case, the Hundred Herbs Alliance can exert great power, even the dragons avoid them."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Sister Fengyao, have you participated in the Realm Sea Token event before?"
Lu Fengyao shook her head, "This is my first time, but our chamber of commerce has information on the Realm Sea Token. If you need it, you can buy it."
She then whispered, "Lin Xiaodi, be careful. The demons have their eyes on you."
Lin Moyu smiled, "With Sister Fengyao here, they can't do anything to me."
Lu Fengyao was amused, "Lin Xiaodi, you have a sweet mouth. I like hearing it, so say more in the future."
