Chapter 3013: I Might Just Be Your External Force
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
One beastâs roar immediately triggered huge waves.
Countless beasts suddenly realized that someone had actually achieved Dao Venerable with an illusory-type dao.
Among all the bloodlines of the beast race, there were no bloodlines of illusory-type daos at all.
Only when a bloodline mutated would there be an extremely low probability of a bloodline capable of comprehending an illusory-type dao appearing.
This situation had occurred only a few times in beast history, countable on oneâs fingers.
Mutated bloodlines couldnât be inherited, couldnât be passed on to the next generation.
So, illusory-type daos were a legend among the beast race.
Now seeing someone achieve Dao Venerable with an illusory-type dao naturally shocked all beasts.
"Itâs said that every being who comprehends an illusory-type dao will ultimately become a top powerhouse."
"Whether they become top powerhouses or not is unknown, but becoming a seventh-level elder is certain. Moreover, their combat power is stronger than ordinary seventh-level elders, unmatched at the same level."
"This Lin guy is strong enough himself, but his companion is also this strong."
"Humans have a saying: birds of a feather flock together. Strong people naturally gather with other strong people."
"Does this mean that Lei Hao is also very strong?"
"Of course. Lei Hao is said to be a true direct descendant of the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers, being groomed as a successor. Heâs completely different from that Lei Xuan who was killed."
Everyone was amazed by Little Mistâs dao.
Lei Rongâs expression was complex at this moment. He came to Lei Haoâs side, "Lei Hao, is he your brother?"
Lei Hao nodded, looking matter-of-fact, "Yes, Uncle Rong, is there a problem?"
After learning that Little Mist had comprehended an illusory-type dao, Lei Hao even felt a sense of pride, as if he had comprehended the illusory dao himself.
By seniority, Lei Rong was Lei Haoâs clan uncle. Normally, their relationship was neither close nor distant.
Actually, Lei Haoâs status in the clan was a bit higher than Lei Rongâs, and his future development would surpass Lei Rongâs.
After all, Lei Rong was also a direct descendant, and a fifth-level Dao Venerable. So under normal circumstances, Lei Hao would also be very polite to Lei Rong.
Lei Rong asked, "Do you know what kind of illusory dao this is?"
Lei Hao shook his head, "Iâm not very clear, but if Uncle Rong wants to know, I can go ask. Given my relationship with Brother Lin, he should tell me."
Lei Rong nodded, "If you can find out, that would be best. Lei Hao, Uncle Rong needs to trouble you with something."
Lei Hao said, "Uncle Rong, no need to be so polite. Just say it."
Lei Rong said, "After the ancestral grounds trip ends, have them stay in the city for one more day."
Lei Hao immediately became alert, "Keep them for what?"
He thought Lei Rong was still plotting about Lei Xuanâs death. Actually, he had thought that once the ancestral grounds trip ended, he would have Lin Moyu and the others leave immediately.
In case someone came to trouble Lin Moyu, Lin Moyu would be at a disadvantage being alone.
Lei Rong said, "Donât misunderstand. Regarding Lei Xuanâs matter, Iâve understood it clearly. Iâll talk to the clan leader afterwards. There wonât be any trouble."
"You know our clanâs situation. Losing a few direct descendants doesnât matter. Moreover, Lei Xuan didnât have a guardian behind him. His status wasnât very high. If heâs dead, heâs dead."
"Asking you to keep them here is because the clan elders have business. Your level is still low, so you donât know some things in the clan. The clan elders have been looking for someone with an illusory-type dao."
Lei Hao asked, "What business do the clan elders have?"
Lei Rong shook his head, "I donât know the specifics, but they probably need something from them. The clan elders have been searching for many years but havenât been able to find anyone."
"Your father knows about this. If you want to know, you can ask him."
"Although I donât know the specifics, it should only benefit your friend, with no downsides."
Lei Hao was skeptical of Lei Rongâs words and didnât immediately agree.
Lei Rong continued, "You can tell your friend about this later. Whether to stay or not, let your friend decide, how about that?"
"Also, if this matter succeeds, those clan elders will surely support you fully. Your future position will be more secure."
After saying this, Lei Rong turned and left.
Clan elders held high status in various beast clans.
In the beast race system, the highest authority in each clan was naturally the clan leader.
This was somewhat different from humans.
Below the clan leader were the various clan elders.
Each clan elder was a seventh-level or higher ancestor.
Within beast clans, there was a distinction between direct and branch lines. Whether direct or branch, they could be further divided into countless smaller branches.
Like a thousand-year-old tree root, although they would ultimately converge on the main trunk, when subdivided, they were intertwined and complex.
Each clan elder had their own authority, managing various smaller branches.
Each clan elder had their own favored candidate, so Lei Hao was only one of the successors, not the only one.
If he could gain the support of the clan elders, Lei Haoâs position would become secure.
Lei Hao knew clearly that the reason he could become one of the successors and have a guardian was because he had a clan elder supporting him behind the scenes.
And there were eight such clan elders.
After pondering for a while, Lei Hao flew towards Lin Moyu.
The ten-thousand-meter forbidden zone didnât exist for Lei Hao.
The Number One legion commander controlled the Dragon Rider Legion to open a passage, letting Lei Hao enter.
Seeing Lei Hao come over and his expression, Lin Moyu already knew something was up.
"Tell me, whatâs the matter?"
Lin Moyu spoke directly. With Lei Haoâs personality, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Lei Hao recounted what Lei Rong had just told him.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Do you want me to stay or not?"
Lei Hao shook his head, "I havenât thought about it. Uncle Rong said this might benefit Brother Lin, but I donât quite believe it."
Lin Moyu smiled, "If your clan elders have really been searching for so many years, perhaps they really do need something. If I stay and can help, then your position in the clan will become much more secure, right?"
Lei Hao hadnât mentioned this earlier, but Lin Moyu knew it himself.
Lei Hao spoke frankly, "Indeed. But this isnât important. With or without the clan eldersâ support, I will become the clan leader."
Lin Moyu said, "Having confidence is good, but sometimes, you also need external force. For example now, I might just be your external force."
"Think about it. If someone else found a person who comprehended an illusory-type dao and gained the clan eldersâ support, what would you do then?"
"You know your clanâs rules. You successors will have three confrontations sooner or later."
"With good luck, you might survive. With bad luck, you might not keep your life."
"Tell me honestly, how confident are you now that you can survive to the end?"
Given Lei Haoâs original arrogance, he instinctively wanted to refute, but found he couldnât rebut a single point.
Lin Moyu was completely correct. He really didnât have absolute confidence.
Those other successor candidates werenât inferior to him.
He could only speak honestly, "Right now I have about a 60% chance."
Lin Moyu made the final decision, "Then letâs increase that chance to 90% or even higher. Even if you canât become the clan leader, you should become a clan elder. At worst, ensure that if you fail, you can still live well."
"As your brother, Iâll definitely help if I can."
Lin Moyu patted Lei Haoâs shoulder, making a promise.
This promise made Lei Haoâs heart feel as if bathed in Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. At this moment, Lin Moyu became his brother in life and death!
