Chapter 1567: The

The note on the cover of the notebook made Su Xiao's heart rate begin to accelerate. After searching for so long, he finally had a direct clue, but there was still bad news: this yellowed notebook was incredibly thin, only three pages. Aside from the front and back covers, the content was recorded on only one page in the middle. This was definitely not good news.

Opening the notebook, Su Xiao immediately felt something strange, as if someone were watching him, but the feeling vanished after only a moment.

Inside the library, Xue Yi, lying on a small wooden bed, sat up. A purple light shone within her pupils.

"Your hand... reaches too far. This is the Saint Healing Church, not the South!"

Xue Yi's voice was icy. After a moment, her expression returned to normal, and she lay back down on the bed, crossing her legs.

"So that's what you were looking for. I really can't understand the thinking of these monsters. Why go and provoke those three sisters? The Moi family is not to be trifled with."

Xue Yi seemed to know something, but she could no longer leave the Saint Healing Church headquarters. As long as she was here, a certain person from the South would not dare to step foot into the Central Plains region.

Inside the library hut, Su Xiao opened the notebook in his hand. Just as he had guessed, the recorded content was very limited.

"The Land of Death has no true connection to the witches."

"The Moi family has guarded the Land of Death for generations, which is incomprehensible."

"Confirmed: The Land of Death is located in the South. For this, 157 Witch Hunters have been killed or injured. Exploration halted."

"The Moi family is not guarding the Land of Death; they are guarding something within the Land of Death. This may be the root of the Moi family's power."

"Why do the descendants of the Moi family have Fifth-Tier witches in every generation? Why are their direct descendants all female? Why are their incarnations so excellent? It is incomprehensible. This may be related to the Land of Death, but exploration has ceased. Considering sending Witch Hunters again, the threat of the Moi family is already urgent."

Five simple paragraphs of text, and there was no other information in the notebook, but this was enough. One must know that when Su Xiao first entered the Dark Crow World, his only intelligence was: the specific information on the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device was known to only one witch, and the witches called the "Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device" the Land of Death.

Relying on this simple hint, he had ferreted out the Moi family. With the current amount of information, if he couldn't find where the Land of Death was, he would be unworthy of the title of Hunter. To a certain extent, the Rule-Breakers were harder to find than the Land of Death.

The Land of Death was in the South, and the Moi family was guarding it. Based on these two pieces of information, Su Xiao found a record about the Moi family on the bookshelf.

The Moi family was a witch family, and the heads of the family through the generations were all Fifth-Tier witches. This was almost a law, and because of this, the Moi family's ruling status in the South was established.

The Moi family had many generations, and the current direct members were three people—three twin sisters. They were named: Moi Nora, Moi Lisha, and Misfortune.

Su Xiao's mouth twitched noticeably. The names of these three sisters had as much impact as "Xiao Ming," "Xiao Bai," or "Liu Tiedan."

Moi Nora and Moi Lisha made sense; Moi Nora was the eldest daughter, and Moi Lisha was the second. As for Misfortune, she was the youngest sister~.

Misfortune was her formal name, not a nickname or title. That was precisely why it felt so strange.

After flipping through it, Su Xiao focused his gaze on the name of the second daughter, "Moi Lisha." His brow furrowed tightly.

Moi Lisha, Molisha? No matter how one looked at it, the two were very similar. Both were Fifth-Tier witches, both were of the elemental type, and... their ages were similar.

Su Xiao continued to flip through the Moi family's information. When he reached the records from five years ago, he confirmed that Moi Lisha was the Light Witch Molisha who had died by his hand.

Moi Nora and Moi Lisha were both Fifth-Tier witches. They originally held down the South, and the younger sister, Misfortune, was also a Fifth-Tier witch.

A family producing three Fifth-Tier witches—the status of the Moi family among witches at that time could be imagined. Yet, five years ago, Moi Lisha suddenly left the South and headed to the witch gathering place in West Port that the Moi family had operated for a long time. That had been the place where the Moi family rose to power before moving to the South.

Even more surprising was that the eldest daughter, Moi Nora, actually transferred a large number of witches from West Port, leaving only a portion of personnel behind. The two sisters seemed to have had a falling out.

As the eldest daughter, Moi Nora naturally inherited the power of the Moi family, but she did not integrate the witches of the South; instead, she let the witches scatter throughout the South.

Just when everyone thought this move by Moi Nora was extremely foolish, half a year later, the Saint Healing Church could no longer step foot in the south, which had become a Witch Nation—a loose country without a king or an economic system.

By then, people realized the terrifying nature of Moi Nora. The witches scattered throughout the South were like beasts in the jungle, preventing any outsiders from entering the South, which gave the witches an opportunity to develop and grow.

Witches were not an army; gathering them together actually prevented them from utilizing their respective strengths, and it would also consume a massive amount of resources.

Since then, the surname "Moi" was inherited by Moi Nora alone. Moi Lisha was called Molisha by outsiders, and Misfortune disappeared from everyone's sight.

According to the records, Misfortune was a natural freak—a freak so strange that even her parents were unwilling to acknowledge her, which was why she was named Misfortune.

A child not acknowledged by her parents—the extent of Misfortune's "freakishness" could be imagined. One must know that her mother was also a witch.

Among the three sisters—Moi Nora, Molisha, and Misfortune—Moi Nora was the guardian of the Land of Death. Only she knew the specific location of the Land of Death.

Reading to this point, Su Xiao understood who the witch mentioned in the main quest was: it was Moi Nora.

However, one point made Su Xiao very concerned. Melody had once stolen Molisha's family heirloom, which made him wonder: could that so-called heirloom be the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device?

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao felt it was unlikely. The place where the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device was located was what was called the Land of Death. If that heirloom really were the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device, Melody would have long since been torn to pieces by the witches of the South.

Putting down the materials, the layers of mist had been cleared away by Su Xiao. The situation began to clarify: Moi Nora knew where the Land of Death was. Or rather, as long as he found Moi Nora, it was basically equivalent to finding the Land of Death. She was guarding it, so she wouldn't be too far away.

To find Moi Nora, Su Xiao needed to go deep into the South, but the number of witches in the South was definitely not comparable to West Port.

There was another more troublesome problem: Moi Nora seemed to have some kind of connection with her sister, Misfortune. A Witch Hunter had once gone to assassinate Moi Nora. Obviously, he hadn't succeeded, but before he died, he sent one sentence back to the Saint Healing Church headquarters: to kill Moi Nora, one must kill Misfortune at the same time. ===== CHAPTER 1568 =====
