Chapter 3291
They didn't seem to be artifact spirits, nor did they look like normal living beings, yet they possessed souls.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the castle made a soft hum once more.
The wind blew through the castle, the fragrance of the flowers grew richer, and laughter suddenly rang out.
The little creatures tending to the flowers suddenly burst into laughter, as if they had seen something delightful.
Their smiles were bright, yet it only felt more eerie, for their expressions were completely identical.
As if carved from the same mold, their laughter rose and fell, faintly forming a unique rhythm.
Lin Moyu frowned slightly. The rhythmically structured laughter blended with the rich floral fragrance.
Wave after wave, it assaulted his Dao Heart. Every corner of the castle was filled with a mind-boggling, bewitching power.
It could easily cause one to sink into it unconsciously; this bewitching power was strong enough to affect even an Eternal Existence.
Yet, if it was only this level of bewilderment, it seemed slightly insufficient to completely entrance an Eternal Existence.
It wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir, which didn't match the Chaos Runes from earlier, as Chaos Runes were the exclusive Domain of Chaos Realm powerhouses.
Since Chaos Runes were used to hide this independent space, it meant a Chaos Realm powerhouse had taken action. Yet, this castle within the independent space…
Though somewhat bizarre, if it couldn't even bewitch an Eternal Existence, it would be rather unreasonable.
Back then, the Lord of Slaughter had stumbled upon this space by chance. He hadn't entered the castle, obtaining those two Chaos Realm magic treasures from the outside.
As for himself, Lin Moyu suddenly realized he had overlooked something. He hadn't explored the outside of the castle.
Instead, he had entered the castle directly. While it seemed like he had reached the core, he had actually missed a step.
A thought arose in Lin Moyu's mind: should he leave the castle first and take a look outside?
Buzz!
The castle hummed softly again, and the wind grew more rapid.
The fragrance of the flowers intensified, and the laughter became more frantic—so frantic that it was almost grating to the ears.
Lin Moyu's gaze was suddenly drawn to the castle's inner hall. A powerful Soul Fire had appeared inside, one that had already surpassed Eternal and reached the Chaos Realm.
However, it seemed to have suffered some injuries, as the Soul Fire was incomplete… The appearance of this Soul Fire…
…made him dismiss his previous thought. Lin Moyu took a few quick steps to the inner hall and walked inside. The floral fragrance within the inner hall was even richer.
Strangely, though, there were no flowers here—not a single one. All the fragrance originated from other areas of the castle.
It ultimately gathered here. At the very front of the inner hall sat an exquisite jade throne.
A woman reclined lazily upon it. She possessed a stunning countenance with delicate features.
Every detail exuded a lethal allure. She wore a floral dress, and the flowers embroidered on it seemed like living things.
The fragrance was overwhelming, and Lin Moyu had to admit that this woman possessed an incredibly powerful allure.
Moreover, this attraction was not just directed at the opposite sex; even other women would find themselves drawn to her.
In his heart, Lin Moyu also had to admit that among all the women he had ever seen, the woman before him was the most beautiful, second only to Lin Mohan.
"The most beautiful. What a pity, though," Lin Moyu sighed softly.
"What a pity? Hehe!"
The woman let out a bell-like laugh.
"Could Fellow Daoist tell me what is so pitiful?" Lin Moyu replied,
"A pity that a grand Chaos Realm powerhouse doesn't dare to show her true face."
The woman's expression shifted slightly, followed by a faint sigh. "So Fellow Daoist has already seen through it."
"But this servant feels that this is quite nice." Her appearance did not change, nor did she show any embarrassment.
Lin Moyu had indeed seen through it. The woman before him was not showing her true face; what she presented to him…
…was his own subconscious preference for a woman's appearance. If someone else were to look at her, they would see a completely different face.
Each person would see their own ideal appearance. While this might hold an incredibly strong attraction for others…
…and could even affect those Eternal Existences, it was entirely useless against him. Lin Moyu even thought of another possibility.
If Emperor Hongshi were here, would he see a beautiful giant rock? Lin Moyu said calmly,
"Which Domain are you from, and why are you staying in my Domain?" The woman sighed,
"I don't want to stay either, but this servant cannot go back." She showed weakness to Lin Moyu.
She had no choice but to show weakness; her soul was currently injured, and it wouldn't be difficult for Lin Moyu to kill her.
Lin Moyu said,
"Explain in detail. I'm listening."
Chapter 4304: Would You Let This Servant Leave?
"This servant is named Flower Fairy."
"At the Chaos Realm Great Success. Greetings to the Domain Lord of this place." Her faint voice echoed within the exquisite palace.
Flower Fairy's voice was just like her appearance—it was the voice that each listener's subconscious favored most. No matter the tone…
…or pitch, it sounded different in everyone's ears, and her voice similarly exuded a lethal attraction.
It could corrode one's Dao Heart. Combined with the floral fragrance and her appearance…
…it formed an all-encompassing temptation of hearing, sight, and smell. Even an Eternal Existence…
…might fall if their Dao Heart was not firm enough. Lin Moyu believed…
…that if she hadn't been heavily injured, with her Chaos Realm Great Success cultivation, an Eternal Existence would have stood absolutely no chance against her temptation.
But to him, these things were nothing more than pleasant to smell, pleasing to the eye…
…and sweet to hear, nothing more. Lin Moyu suddenly thought of the little creatures tending to the flowers in the castle.
Had these creatures been bewitched by Flower Fairy and turned into that state after succumbing? He could ask about this in a moment.
For now, Lin Moyu listened to Flower Fairy's story. He wouldn't fully believe whether the story was true or false.
He would make his own judgment. In Flower Fairy's story, she had once been ordered…
…along with a group of Chaos Realm powerhouses, to attack a mysterious place. They didn't even know where this mysterious place was, only acting on orders.
In total, over a thousand Chaos Realm powerhouses were deployed. Among them, there were dozens of Chaos Realm Perfection experts alone, and hundreds of Chaos Realm Great Success experts like her.
The rest were all Chaos Realm Small Success powerhouses. At first, their attack proceeded very smoothly.
They quickly breached that mysterious land, but were immediately intercepted. They encountered a massive counterattack from numerous Chaos Realm Perfection powerhouses.
The casualties were catastrophic; almost everyone who came had fallen, and very few managed to escape back.
Flower Fairy was very lucky. She was only heavily injured and did not die. This castle was a high-grade Chaos Realm magic treasure.
She had escaped using the castle, and in the end, this castle had latched onto the Five-World Domain like a parasite.
That was roughly what had happened. After Flower Fairy finished speaking, Lin Moyu asked,
"Then why didn't you leave the Five-World Domain and return to the Chaos?" Flower Fairy said faintly, with a hint of grievance,
"Do you think this servant didn't want to leave?"
"I simply couldn't. When I fled into this Domain…"
"…I had already exhausted all my strength. I don't know how many years I spent in deep slumber. Over these years…"
"…I have been secretly absorbing the power of the Domain. But as I absorbed it, I found that my castle had fused together with the Domain."
"Now, I cannot leave even if I want to." Hearing that such a thing could actually happen, Lin Moyu was momentarily speechless.
The mysterious place that Flower Fairy and her group had attacked back then was naturally the Tianxu Land. They had been ordered by a Great Venerable to attack the Tianxu Land.
It was just that they had absolutely no idea that there were also Great Venerables backing the Tianxu Land, and two of them at that.
Thus, they had been defeated, suffering heavy deaths and injuries. Perhaps…
…these people were merely cannon fodder under that Great Venerable, used to test the waters.
Who could say for sure when it came to struggles between Great Venerables? Lin Moyu asked,
"Over all these years, how many people have entered this place?" Flower Fairy replied,
"Quite a few. I didn't count them carefully, but they are all in the castle."
"Those flower slaves are them." It was indeed just as Lin Moyu had guessed; everyone who entered eventually became a flower slave.
None had left. Flower Fairy sighed softly,
"But you cannot blame this servant for this either."
"They barged in on their own, got attracted by the flowers this servant raised, and ultimately succumbed, turning into flower slaves."
Lin Moyu asked,
"You didn't make a move yourself?"
Flower Fairy said,
"There was no need for this servant to make a move. This servant's flowers were enough. Fine."
A cultivator at the Chaos Realm Great Success, even if heavily injured, dealing with some Dao Masters…
…naturally didn't need to lift a finger herself. When he had seen those flowers earlier, Lin Moyu had faintly sensed that they were aggressive.
But because of his cultivation, those flowers had behaved themselves and didn't attack him. If it were a Dao Master…
…perhaps those flowers really would devour people. Lin Moyu continued to ask,
"Someone came here before."
"He obtained the Mo Lan Dagger and the Hidden Dao Black Robe. Do you know about this?"
Flower Fairy said,
"You mean that little fellow? I was already awake at the time, so of course I knew. That little fellow had a firm Dao Heart."
"Moreover, he was cautious. He must have sensed that the castle was unsafe, so he didn't enter."
"When this servant fled back then, I swept away a portion of space, which was part of the battlefield."
"It contained some of this servant's fellow Daoists and some of their magic treasures. That Mo Lan Dagger and the Hidden Dao Black Robe…"
"…belonged to Fellow Daoist Mo Yin. He was a Chaos Realm Great Success existence, but unfortunately, he also fell."
Lin Moyu frowned.
"No, he isn't dead."
Flower Fairy showed a look of surprise. "Impossible. I saw him perish with my own eyes."
After a brief thought, Lin Moyu replied, "He is indeed not dead. There is only one possibility."
"The one who died back then was not his true body, but an avatar." Flower Fairy did not believe Lin Moyu's words.
"If he really isn't dead, why would his magic treasures be left here?" Lin Moyu did not argue with her further.
There was no point in arguing. Using the cause-seeking ring's Effect Without Cause, the soul imprint he had left on Mo Yin…
…could absolutely not have any issues. The cause-seeking ring could not make a mistake, so Mo Yin was definitely still alive.
Since Flower Fairy saw Mo Yin die and his magic treasures were left behind, there must be another reason.
Moreover, Mo Yin's Remnant Soul was still left inside the magic treasures. It had hidden for so many years, surely with a purpose.
As for what that purpose was, perhaps only meeting Mo Yin in person would reveal it. But in Lin Moyu's eyes…
…this was still unimportant. What mattered was that Mo Yin's Remnant Soul had nearly killed Mist, creating a deadly feud between them.
If given the chance, he would definitely kill him. Back then, the Lord of Slaughter had accidentally arrived here.
Because he was cautious, he hadn't entered the castle, and had obtained the Mo Lan Dagger and the Hidden Dao Black Robe outside the castle. Now, it seemed…
…it wasn't that the Lord of Slaughter had obtained these two magic treasures, but rather that these two magic treasures had actively sought him out. Using the Lord of Slaughter's hands…
…they had left this space and entered the Five-World Domain.
