After flying for a day like this, a gust of wind blew, and the origin shuttle, which had been traveling at high speed, suddenly slowed down.

Lin Moyu frowned and woke from his meditation.

Under the light of the Lunar Origin, Lin Moyu saw two people standing in front.

"The Wu Family!"

Looking at their attire, he knew their identity.

Their clothes bore the emblem of the Wu Family.

Both were Dao Venerables, though their realms were not very high—one was at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm, and the other at the Dao Venerate Second Realm.

They were not among those targeted during this strike by the Dongling Empire.

Lin Moyu used the divine light wood and put on the red silk scarf, leaving the origin shuttle.

The divine light wood concealed some of Lin Moyu's information, but it could still be roughly distinguished that Lin Moyu was a Heavenly Venerable.

Because of the red silk scarf, they did not discover Lin Moyu's identity as the Son of Taiyin.

Lin Moyu looked at the two, "Two seniors, not repairing the city in Fengwu City, but blocking this junior's path here instead? Do you have any instructions?"

Lin Moyu was calm and composed, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, even giving the two the illusion of being looked down upon.

Seeing such an attitude, the two were unable to gauge Lin Moyu's background.

The Wu Family powerhouse at the Dao Venerate Second Realm spoke loudly, "This Venerable is Wu Daoqi, a Dao Venerable from the Liefeng Cliff Wu Family. I blocked you today because I want to borrow something from you."

Lin Moyu asked, "With your status, Senior, what could you possibly want from this junior?"

Wu Daoqi glanced at the origin shuttle beside Lin Moyu, "Just this thing."

Lin Moyu frowned. The origin shuttle wasn't exactly priceless; was it worth it for a Wu Family Dao Venerable to do this?

Wu Daoqi said, "Fengwu City suffered heavy losses in this spirit beast tide and needs to seek help from other cities."

"However, we lack flying magical treasures. Can you lend your origin shuttle to this Venerable for use?"

Lin Moyu shook his head without thinking, "I'm sorry, the origin shuttle is of great use to this junior. My realm is low, and if I didn't have the origin shuttle, I'm afraid I wouldn't get very far in this Eastern Continent."

"As for you, Senior, with your Dao Venerable Realm cultivation, your own speed shouldn't be much worse than the origin shuttle."

Wu Daoqi's gaze turned unkind, "This Venerable won't waste words with you. I'll just ask you one thing: will you lend it or not?"

"This Venerable can pay you some origin crystals as a rental fee, and in the future, the origin shuttle will naturally be returned to you."

"Our Wu Family wouldn't stoop to robbing a mere Heavenly Venerable."

Lin Moyu liked to think the worst of people, and he didn't believe a word of Wu Daoqi's.

He preferred to believe that once the origin shuttle fell into their hands, it would definitely never return.

Lin Moyu was very cautious and put away the origin shuttle, fearing they would jump over the wall in desperation and destroy it if they couldn't get it.

This made Wu Daoqi's expression even uglier.

Lin Moyu said, "The origin shuttle is this junior's guarantee for survival and cannot be lent out. Seniors should find another way."

Wu Daoqi's voice became low, "Think about it again. This Venerable will give you one more chance."

Lin Moyu said, "If this junior still doesn't lend it, are you planning to take action against this junior?"

Wu Daoqi whispered, "So what if I am? This Venerable has tried to reason with you, but you remain stubborn, so it is inevitable that you will suffer a little."

Suffering a little probably meant being beaten half to death; this was no different from outright robbery.

Lin Moyu whispered, "Senior should think clearly about whether you are truly prepared to rob me."

At this moment, the Dao Venerable beside Wu Daoqi finally spoke, "Big brother, why waste words with him? Just do it."

"A mere Heavenly Venerable, what is he? Who would dare say a word if we killed him?"

His words were extremely harsh, but not entirely unreasonable.

A mere Heavenly Venerable, if killed, would indeed go unnoticed.

In the Eastern Continent, who knew how many Heavenly Venerables died every day? One more certainly wouldn't matter.

Lin Moyu scanned his memory for information on the Liefeng Cliff Wu Family and suddenly discovered that the Wu Family had originally started as bandits.

Liefeng Cliff was originally a bandit den; many of the Wu Family's secret techniques and wealth were robbed.

Later, an origin spirit vein was discovered inside Liefeng Cliff, and after generations, the Wu Family finally became a top-tier power.

However, their attribute of liking to rob had already been branded into their souls and hadn't changed after so many generations.

Lin Moyu had never believed they wanted to borrow the origin shuttle from the beginning; nine times out of ten, they just coveted it.

At first, Lin Moyu just wanted to refuse, but now, he had developed killing intent.

Lin Moyu's tone became cold, and killing intent began to rise, "That's right, just two Dao Venerables. If I kill you, no one will know."

"You should feel fortunate to have survived the Dongling Empire's strike, not come here seeking death."

Lin Moyu's words left the two slightly stunned.

They didn't know about the Dongling Empire, let alone this operation, thinking they had just encountered a spirit beast tide.

After the words fell, space around Lin Moyu twisted, and the Great Sword Dao Venerable appeared beside him.

The aura of the Dao Venerable 6th Realm soared into the sky, and the majestic pressure caused the two's expressions to change suddenly.

Without waiting for them to speak, Lin Moyu had already spoken, "Kill them!"

The Great Sword Dao Venerable didn't waste any words. His fingers turned into swords, and the power of the Great Dao permeated the air, evolving into a giant sword that slashed down on the two.

"Senior, spare us!"

The two shouted in unison, but it was too late.

Under the crushing power of the Dao Venerable 6th Realm's Great Dao, their bodies were shattered like tofu; there wasn't even any blood rain, as they were completely obliterated by the sword qi.

In the end, only a few pieces of flesh could land on the ground.

Lin Moyu sighed, "Not wanting to live as proper Dao Venerables and coming here to seek death instead, why bother?"

He waved a large amount of Undying Flame, covering the ground. The two who had just died were resurrected in the flames and knelt before Lin Moyu again.

The two were brothers; the one at the Dao Venerate Second Realm was the older brother, named Wu Daoqi.

The one at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm was the younger brother, Wu Daoshan.

Both were collateral descendants of the Wu Family. Although they had reached the Dao Venerable Realm, their status was average, and they didn't usually receive many resources.

After becoming Dao Venerables, their potential was insufficient, so they were sent to the Eastern Continent.

After questioning, it was confirmed that they were indeed targeting his origin shuttle. The value of the origin shuttle was very high, especially an origin shuttle of the Dao Venerable Realm.

It was not only because its flight method was special and highly secure, but also because it was rare enough.

After the Heavenly God Sect was destroyed, the number of existing origin shuttles would only decrease, not increase; they were becoming increasingly scarce now.

If he didn't agree, they would indeed have killed him to seize the treasure.

The Wu Family had a secret technique that could extract most of the victim's belongings from the Rule World after killing them.

It was also this secret technique that earned the Wu Family a huge amount of wealth in the early days.

It could be said that without this secret technique, the development of the Wu Family would have been at least several thousand years slower.

Several thousand years—any accident could happen; perhaps the Wu Family wouldn't even exist today.

Lin Moyu threw the two into the Rule World and handed them over to the Human Emperor to collect information.

Unfortunately, the teleportation array in the Rule World could only transport living beings from the Rule World out to Yudao City directly.

Revenants and Undead Legions were no longer living beings and could not travel to Yudao City through the teleportation array in the Rule World.

If he wanted to send them there, Lin Moyu would ultimately have to do it himself.

Now that Lin Moyu was not near Yudao City, there was no way.

A small interlude, and the origin shuttle set off again, advancing along the predetermined route.

Putting away the red silk scarf and the divine light wood, the taiyin talisman on Lin Moyu's forehead remained incredibly bright.

Just now, one-tenth of the red silk scarf's power had been consumed. If calculated by this duration, it could be used nine more times.

"It's a pity I don't have the ability to set up that array yet. It seems I must save it."

"If I could find a few more magical treasures similar to the red silk scarf, that would be great. When I arrive at Shang City this time, I must look for them."

"With my luck, it's not impossible…"

Suddenly, Lin Moyu's voice paused. He thought of a possibility.

The Wu Family was a large family after all. Logically speaking, after generations, they shouldn't need to resort to robbery.

This time, the two Wu Daoqi brothers coming to rob him seemed to be for the origin shuttle, but in reality, it was somewhat inexplicable.

Lin Moyu suddenly realized a key factor: luck…

The Dongling Empire's operation this time was very likely for the sake of luck.

Killing Dao Venerables above the 4th Realm to plunder luck.

If this was true, then the 4th Realm Dao Venerables in Wu City were killed, and their luck was plundered.

What was taken away was not just the luck of the Dao Venerables themselves, but also the luck that had been suppressed by the origin spirit vein for so many years.

In other words, the luck of the Wu Daoqi brothers was also invisibly plundered. Their luck had dropped to a very low level, which was why this situation occurred.

Lin Moyu had seen what happened when luck was extremely low; at that time, Mist cursed others, forcibly lowering their luck significantly.

Then, they would be unlucky in everything they did; any choice would be wrong, and it would even affect their thinking in the dark.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they made a wrong decision to come and rob his origin shuttle.

Extremely low luck caused them to make a decision that led to their death.

Lin Moyu felt the wonder of luck more and more; it was no wonder that luck could become something that major forces fought for crazily.

His identity as the Son of Taiyin was not that important; what was truly important was the luck brought by this identity.

Lin Moyu cleared his thoughts, and the path ahead became clearer.

Looking back, he found that every step he had taken was not wrong.

Searching for the origin spirit vein, establishing forces, enhancing his own luck.

Because of his powerful luck, he was fortunate enough to become the Son of Taiyin.

Because he became the Son of Taiyin, his luck became even stronger.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. As long as he could keep it up, perhaps one day, a chance encounter would raise his realm and allow him to break through.

Just like encountering the hell fragment this time, perhaps it was also related to luck.

"…If I could observe luck directly like Mist, that would be good." Lin Moyu sighed softly, gathered his thoughts, and began to cultivate.

The origin shuttle wrapped in the Power of Belief silently crossed the horizon, flying toward the distance.

The subsequent journey became quiet, and the Sun and Moon Origin alternated constantly.

Seven days later, Lin Moyu arrived before a large city.

This large city, named Xuanren, had also suffered a great disaster, but the situation here was slightly better than the previous few cities.

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce here had not been destroyed, but the formation inside had lost contact with the formations in other cities, becoming an isolated island.

Transactions and the like could not be carried out; although it wasn't broken, it was paralyzed.

The origin shuttle moved forward along Lin Moyu's route, avoiding dangerous areas.

Along the way, it passed several large cities. These large cities had also been attacked, and without exception, they had basically collapsed.

There were only a few Dao Venerable Realm experts left, and the experts above the 4th Realm had all been killed without exception.

In the Eastern Continent, facing the Dongling Empire, one could not escape.

However, information about the Dongling Empire had hardly spread; everyone thought they had encountered a spirit beast tide.

And those powerful Dao Venerables who disappeared had lured the spirit beast tide elsewhere to protect the majority of people.

There were almost no people who truly knew about the Dongling Empire.

Logically speaking, no matter how tightly the news was sealed, it shouldn't be sealed to this extent.

Both humans and demons had curiosity, and with curiosity, there would be a desire to explore.

But now, everyone believed this was a spirit beast tide, which was very strange.

It seemed as if an invisible and powerful force had changed everyone's thinking.
