Chapter 332: Spirit Maiden

Clearly, their tracks had already been exposed; remaining at Xinxi Mountain any longer, waiting for that person to recover some cultivation strength, would mean their death.

Therefore, while that person's strength had yet to fully recover, leaving was a good choice.

The figures of Wu Xiangyi and Ana left the abandoned factory at this moment and vanished from sight.

About half an hour later, a youth in black entered the abandoned factory; he looked at the corpses on the ground, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This kind of method... is it also a Transcendental?"

The youth in black was none other than God Position Spear.

This time, he had come to Xinxi Mountain to investigate the Moore Family and some strange occurrences that had happened recently.

Having received information that there seemed to be people from the Moore Family active in this abandoned factory, he had come here and witnessed the scene before him.

"A Transcendental?"

God Position narrowed his eyes slightly.

He naturally knew that this world was very special, and it was very difficult for a Transcendental to appear.

Now, he had encountered a wild Transcendental.

"I heard the Moore Family is suspected to have a Transcendental holding the fort, and one has appeared here too." God Position's eyes were calm.

To him, the Moore Family was nothing; only a Transcendental was worth his attention.

"Must be careful; the incident last time must not happen again." Last time, on the Big Snow Mountain, it was the first time he and Dao Sword had fought for the Master after taking human form, but they had suffered a miserable defeat, and only the Master's intervention had saved them.

On the surface, God Position looked fine, but in his heart, he was incredibly self-reproachful.

Therefore, he did not want the same thing as last time to happen again.

First, observe in secret and investigate the opponent's strength.

If they were very weak, he would take action to resolve it.

If they were very strong, he would try his best; if he could not resolve it, he would seek help from the Master.

Although God Position had not taken human form for long, he was not like a newborn child and had his own thoughts.

On the other side, Ana and Wu Xiangyi returned to their lodging.

Upon returning to their residence, the two met Lin Fang and the middle-aged man beside her.

"Sister Fang, is this your younger brother? He is a man of talent, just like you; the genes are very good." Ana integrated into life easily and adopted the scene.

Anyone would feel joy when being complimented.

Lin Moyu looked at the two, a look of astonishment flashing through his eyes; he did not exchange pleasantries but went straight to the point: "The two of you, my sister recently said that someone is always following her nearby; do you know what the situation is?"

Lin Moyu stared into their eyes, wanting to get an answer from them.

Hearing this, Wu Xiangyi did not panic but slowly said, "Do the two of you know of the Moore Family?"

"The Moore Family?" Lin Fang shook her head.

She had not heard of this family.

Lin Moyu, however, was slightly stunned.

He had heard of the Moore Family.

He had been investigating Transcendental incidents, so he naturally knew about this family.

The Moore Family had an ancestor who was suspected to be a Transcendental; this family had a heritage spanning a thousand years and could be considered a true thousand-year aristocratic family.

Having experienced a thousand years, this family still possessed monstrous power and was the uncrowned king of Xinxi Mountain.

Lin Moyu's planned itinerary for this trip to Xinxi Mountain included a visit to this family.

He did not expect that the person following his sister would actually be related to the Moore Family; he frowned.

"The Moore Family is an old-established family; many industries in Xinxi Mountain have their presence behind them to varying degrees, and even the Governor has an unfathomable relationship with their family." Lin Moyu was incredibly wary of the Moore Family.

After all, this was a true family of power and influence.

The strength of an Ordinary person compared to them was like a mayfly shaking a tree.

"Yes, the ones following Sister Fang are indeed people from the Moore Family." Wu Xiangyi did not hide it.

She was preparing to leave Li Zhu Country and go to Daxia.

Thus, she naturally did not want to implicate Lin Fang because of this matter.

Therefore, the best method was to take Lin Fang away.

"The Moore Family, how did you offend them?" Lin Moyu took a deep breath; he felt the matter was not small and even involved life-threatening danger.

If you took the powerful and influential people in this world and cut half of them away, the remaining half would surely still have a large number of black-hearted ones.

The powerful and influential in Li Zhu Country stood even more in the open and simply stopped pretending.

Those in Great Xia Country at least still cared about some face.

Therefore, if they had truly offended the Moore Family, their only way now was to leave Li Zhu Country.

"We did not offend the Moore Family, nor do we even understand this family.

However, we have an enemy who is currently hiding within the Moore Family.

That enemy is likely looking for us." This time, it was Ana who spoke.

If Wu Xiangyi were not by her side, she would not have said so much at all.

"An enemy?" Lin Fang felt it was somewhat complicated and also somewhat convoluted.

In modern society, how could such a strange thing happen?

Lin Moyu, meanwhile, was pondering the word 'enemy', a flash of keenness in his eyes.

In real life, Ordinary people rarely used the word 'enemy' to describe others.

At this time, Wu Xiangyi continued: "At this moment, our only way is to leave Xinxi Mountain, leave Li Zhu Country, and go to Daxia.

Otherwise... once our enemy recovers from their injuries, we will not be able to leave."

Lin Moyu caught another key term: recovering from injuries.

Moreover, from the tone of these two women, he could hear that they did not hold the all-powerful Moore Family in any regard at all; as for that enemy, they had mentioned it several times, and were clearly very wary of it.

A sliver of speculation grew in Lin Moyu's heart.

A look of joy flashed through his mind, and then he began to think.

Was this... his opportunity, and how should he make this connection?

"Leave?" Lin Fang was stunned for a moment.

She had lived here for a long time, and when leaving was suddenly mentioned, she didn't quite react.

People are all inclined to be content with the status quo; sometimes, due to the high sunk costs in life, they are unwilling to make changes.

"Sister, if they really are people from the Moore Family, we must leave; it's only safe if we return to our country," Lin Moyu advised from the side.

Lin Fang's thoughts wavered slightly.

"Sorry, I've implicated you both." A look of self-reproach appeared in Wu Xiangyi's eyes.

It was indeed because of them that these two Ordinary people were involved.

She was already thinking about how to compensate them.

Lin Fang looked at the two of them, and after struggling for a long time, she spoke: "Moyu and I have passports and identification documents, so we can take a plane back to our country.

Your identification documents are lost, so you can't take a plane; do you want to take an unlicensed taxi to the capital of Li Zhu Country and then ask the embassy for help to reissue identification documents?"

A look of contemplation appeared on the faces of Wu Xiangyi and Ana.

This was also the point that the two of them were worried about.

As for asking the embassy for help, that was not possible.

After all, they were not truly people of Great Xia and had no identification documents.

And nearby, Lin Moyu felt that he had an opportunity when he heard this.

"The two of you lost your identification documents and cannot have them reissued?" Lin Moyu asked tentatively.

"Yes," Ana replied, somewhat surprised.

"I have some channels that can help the two of you return to our country," Lin Moyu spoke again. "However, it is quite complicated and requires me to follow along the way; would the two of you mind?"

A smile appeared on Ana's face: "You are so kind?"

The other party was just an Ordinary person, so she was not afraid of any accidents occurring.

"I can help the two of you return to our country, but... I also have conditions.

I hope that after returning to our country, the two of you can agree to a small condition for me.

Of course, it is a small condition that is not excessive.

If the condition I propose is a bit excessive, the two of you can also refuse."

Ana was slightly surprised when she heard Lin Moyu's words.

This man seemed to really have some ideas.

"No problem," Wu Xiangyi agreed.

"Good," Lin Moyu suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Half a day later.

Lin Fang transferred vehicles to go to Xinxi Mountain, while Lin Moyu, Wu Xiangyi, and Ana remained at Xinxi Mountain.

At this time, night fell, and the three of them arrived at a residential complex.

This residential complex was relatively special within Xinxi Mountain.

This place could be considered a Xia Street; many people from Great Xia who came to Li Zhu Country would come here to hang out later on.

The Xia Street here had many shops, as well as some items representing traditional culture.

"There is a river next to the Xia Street called the Sui River; I know a buddy who can help us leave Li Zhu Country by Water,"

Lin Moyu said slowly.

Decades ago, Great Xia was still relatively backward, and many people went out to work.

In the countries surrounding Great Xia, there were also some people who would choose to leave their hometowns and travel across the ocean to work.

And among their destinations, Li Zhu Country could be considered a decent place.

Therefore, the existence of illegal immigration came to be.

However, in recent years, Great Xia has developed well, so there are far fewer illegal immigrants.

Nevertheless, this route still exists.

"Thank you for your trouble," Wu Xiangyi said very politely.

"It's nothing," Lin Moyu kept his distance from the two. "However, we still have to stay here for one night tonight; we won't leave by boat until around four o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Mm," Ana nodded.

"Do you want to go for a stroll on the Xia Street? There are many of our countrymen here."

"Okay."

The three of them walked on the Xia Street, with Lin Moyu keeping his distance from the two.

The three of them chatted occasionally.

Taking advantage of a suitable opportunity, Lin Moyu suddenly asked: "Do you think there is such a thing as the art of bringing the dead back to life in this world?"

Beside him, Wu Xiangyi thought of something, and her heart stung.

Ana replied: "No, even gods cannot resurrect a person."

"Even gods can't?" Lin Moyu said with disappointment. "Then can great existences even stronger than gods do it?"

Ana continued to shake her head: "No."

The ancestors of the Yuanqiu Tribe were indeed formidable; there were once powerhouses among them who surpassed the gods.

However, bringing the dead back to life is something no one has ever achieved.

"Of course, if one were to create... an identical woman and implant memories, a powerhouse surpassing the gods could still manage that.

And the person whose memories were implanted would believe themselves to be the person who had already died.

Her behavior would also be the same as that of the deceased person," Ana replied meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Lin Moyu was distraught and lost.

This method is nothing but self-deception, no different from cloning.

"Is there really no other way?" Lin Moyu asked again.

Ana originally did not want to say more, but thinking of something, she continued: "What do you think the essence of a person is, and what distinguishes one person from another?"

"The soul? Consciousness?" Lin Moyu asked directly without any hesitation.

"Not so, it is the Spirit," Ana's gaze was deep. "Every intelligent living being has a Spirit unique to itself.

The physical body can be reborn, and the Divine Soul can be copied, but only the Spirit is unique and cannot be copied.

Once a living being dies, its Spirituality dissipates, and the mark it left on this world vanishes, leading to true death."

Lin Moyu frowned, his brain working rapidly, "If... someone could control the Spirit, wouldn't they be able to bring the dead back to life?"

Hearing this, Ana let out a laugh: "The Spirit is the most mysterious existence.

If someone could control the Spirit, wouldn't that mean the life and death of all living beings in the heavens and worlds would be in their hands?

Such an existence could not possibly appear.

In the heavens and worlds, there simply does not exist a powerhouse who can control the Spirit.

Even that Spirit Maiden who was known as the Spirit River Messenger, did she not eventually fall?

If she could not even control her own life and death, how could she control the Spirit?"

Ana knew Lin Moyu was a smart person, so she did not hide many things but spoke directly.

Ana had also learned about the Spirit Maiden from her family's ancient records.

The heavens and worlds are vast, with countless powerhouses, so naturally, countless people have studied the Spirit.

However, among so many supreme powerhouses, not one has discovered the mysteries of the Spirit.

Once, in the Central Heavenly Realm, a woman emerged who claimed to be the daughter of the Spirit King, known as the Spirit Maiden; it was rumored she controlled a portion of the Spirit.

This Spirit Maiden was incredibly powerful, even crushing some of the old-established forces in the Central Heavenly Realm.

Most famously, the Spirit Maiden went deep into a force called the Gate Organization and Slayed several ancient existences.

However, the Spirit Maiden eventually fell.

If the Spirit Maiden had truly controlled the Spirit, how could she have fallen?

Therefore, bringing the dead back to life is, at least for now, a hopeless prospect.

"Sigh." Lin Moyu was incredibly dejected; he knew more now.

But his will remained firm, and his heart had not changed.

If it cannot be done, it is only because he is not strong enough.

What he needs to do now is to step into the Supernatural.

At this moment, Wu Xiangyi, who was beside him, stopped in her tracks: "Fenglan?"

In her eyes, there was a look of wandering memories.

In front of her was a shop, and the architectural style of the shop was different from the others.

Lin Moyu pulled himself away from his previous sorrow, looked at the shop in front, and said slowly: "This is Fenglan Pavilion. Fenglan was a country that existed in our Daxia's ancient times, but unfortunately, that country mysteriously disappeared, becoming one of the world's unsolved mysteries.

Some say Fenglan is buried in the yellow sands, while others say Fenglan never existed in history at all.

Inside Fenglan Pavilion, there are many items representing the traditional culture of the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom; would you like to go in and take a look?"

He could sense that Wu Xiangyi seemed interested in Fenglan Pavilion.

"Okay," Wu Xiangyi replied, "I want to be alone."

"Alright." Lin Moyu said nothing more.

Ana added one more sentence: "Stay safe."

Wu Xiangyi walked toward Fenglan Pavilion, her heart filled with a trace of nostalgia.

At this time, Wu Xiangyi's attire had already blended into this world, yet she still attracted the gazes of many.

Wu Xiangyi did not care; she entered Fenglan Pavilion, her emotions ethereal.

Fenglan Pavilion was large, not a small shop; it had many areas, some selling antiques, some selling pastries, and some selling books.

These items all carried, to a greater or lesser extent, the characteristics and aura of Fenglan.

Wu Xiangyi looked up and stopped walking.

In front of her was a bookstore.

For some reason, she remembered the first time she met her husband; it was also in a bookstore like this.
