“I have one more thing to say,” Ice Ancestor said immediately. “Please instruct us, Ancestor.”

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "Young Friend Lin is a good friend of mine; you must not treat him with any negligence."

"If the Holy Land encounters any difficulties in the future, you may also seek help from Young Friend Lin. Do you understand?"

Ice Ancestor could not possibly fail to understand, nor would she dare to, so she immediately replied.

"Rest assured, Ancestor, we understand." Ancestor Gu Hanyu finally turned to Lin Moyu.

"Let us part ways here. In the future, upon the Great Dao, I, Gu, shall respectfully welcome Young Friend Lin."

Lin Moyu bowed. "Safe travels, Senior." Ancestor Gu Hanyu transformed into a streak of light.

He flew toward the distant sky, and at the same time, he let out a long whistle that stirred the wind and snow.

Inside the Hanshui Holy Land, a beam of light shot into the sky, accompanied by a continuous long whistle.

Elder Tree ascended from the place where the Nine Extremes Glacier had originally been, returning with Ancestor Gu Hanyu to the Outer Heaven Great Dao amidst the rosy clouds.

The two ascended together, leaving the Origin Continent. Ancestor Cang gazed at the rosy light.

Envy filled his eyes. "Guided by the Great Dao, ascending in broad daylight."

"Truly enviable," Lin Moyu said. "Ancestor Cang, you are not far off."

"There is a chance," Ancestor Cang said. "This final step…"

"…is difficult. However, this old man does indeed have a chance, and it is all thanks to the good fortune of Young Friend Lin."

Ancestor Cang's attitude toward Lin Moyu became even more courteous. With Ancestor Gu Hanyu's words, Lin Moyu's status had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.

Within the Hanshui Holy Land, Lin Moyu's status became extremely unique; even they, the three Ninth-Rank Ancestors,

had to treat Lin Moyu with great respect. Ice Ancestor asked, "Young Friend Lin."

"May I ask where Saint Master Gu Hanyu has gone?"

Lin Moyu replied with a hint of helplessness, "She was taken away by that person."

"It could be said she has gone to the Outer Heaven Great Dao." Ice Ancestor was full of surprise. "What exactly is going on?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "Some things cannot be spoken of. You heard what Senior Gu said just now, didn't you?"

"That person not only took Saint Master Gu Hanyu away but also had Senior Gu pass a message to me." Ancestor Cang seemed to realize something.

"Young Friend Lin, is the person you and the Ancestor spoke of the legendary one?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "You are not wrong; it is indeed that legendary one."

"I can only say this much. However, you need not worry; Saint Master Gu Hanyu will be fine."

"Not only will she be fine, but her cultivation speed there will be incredibly astonishing."

"Surpassing Senior Gu will only be a matter of time." Ancestor Cang murmured, "If it was truly that person who took her…"

"…then that is Saint Master Gu Hanyu's good fortune." Good fortune?

"Perhaps it is!"

Lin Moyu felt somewhat helpless, but upon reflection, perhaps it was not a bad thing.

At the very least, his wives could all achieve the Great Dao and attain longevity, without having to endure hardships and travel with him.

They wouldn't have to experience various dangers. Moreover, as long as he worked hard to cultivate and become a Dao Lord,

one day they would meet again. Suddenly feeling something strange, Lin Moyu looked up in the direction of the Hanshui Holy Land.

Inside the Hanshui Holy Land, the fortune surged into the sky like a rainbow. Within that fortune,

a divine dragon was faintly dancing. Ancestor Cang asked, "Young Friend Lin, did you see something?"

Lin Moyu said, "The Holy Land's fortune has strengthened. It seems Saint Master Gu Hanyu has already arrived there."

"Senior Gu has also successfully returned to the Outer Heaven Great Dao. Regardless, this is a good thing for the Holy Land."

"Let's go, it's time to return." Everyone returned to the Hanshui Holy Land.

Ice Ancestor went directly to find Gu Hanjing. At this moment, Gu Hanjing had already begun to take over the affairs of the Holy Land and had become busy.

Ice Ancestor also led the other ancestors to begin handing over power, especially the authority to use the origin spirit vein.

Ice Ancestor used a formation to remove Saint Master Gu Hanyu's mark from the origin spirit vein and replaced it with Gu Hanjing's soul mark.

Furthermore, she had Gu Hanjing refine the origin spirit vein. Only after initially refining the origin spirit vein could one use it for teleportation.

This was also the most important privilege of the Holy Master, a privilege that even the ancestors did not possess. Inside Lei City,

a teleportation array was glowing. Lin Moyu and Xiaomei stepped out of the array; the array had been set up in Lei City by the Hanshui Holy Land.

Regardless of anything else, Lei City was one of the forces belonging to the Hanshui Holy Land, though this teleportation array was not usually used by anyone.

It was only activated when someone from the Hanshui Holy Land arrived. Lin Moyu had left in a hurry this time.

He hadn't said goodbye to Gu Hanjing, fearing that if she learned her sister had been taken away, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he had Ice Ancestor keep Gu Hanjing occupied, and the two did not meet again. Lin Moyu knew that once the teleportation array was activated,

the Lei Family would know that someone from the Holy Land had arrived. "We will wait here for a while; the people from the Lei Family should be here soon."

Xiaomei looked around, her little head tilted high, watching the thunderclouds in the sky.

"Is this Lei City?"

Lin Moyu said, "Xiaomei, had you never been here in your past life?"

Xiaomei shook her head. "I had heard of it, but I had never been here."

In her past life, she had spent most of her time cultivating and didn't care about external matters. In her past life, Xiaomei…

…had spent most of her life in cultivation, focused solely on the Dao, and was not distracted by external things.

Her Dao Heart was incredibly firm, which was precisely why she had ultimately chosen to discard her physical body and reincarnate. But such people…

…had another name: cultivation dullards!

If one were to replace Xiaomei with those secular scholars,

then she would be a bookworm, Lin Moyu thought.

"In a while, Xiaomei, you can go explore Lei City. It's been many years since I've been to Lei City, and I don't know how the people of the Lei Family are doing." Before long,

Lin Moyu sensed someone approaching rapidly. In the sky, several figures cloaked in lightning landed with a boom.

They said to Lin Moyu, "Lei Sanxiang of the Lei Family respectfully welcomes the Holy Envoy!"

Chapter 3404: To know me is the cause, to part from me is the effect.

Lin Moyu smiled.

"Third Master Lei, long time no see." Lei Sanxiang was stunned for a moment.

Then his eyes widened. "Fellow Daoist Lin, why is it you?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "Is it strange that it's me?"

Lei Sanxiang quickly shook his head.

"It's not strange; it's just… how did you join the Hanshui Holy Land?"

Lin Moyu said.

"I have not joined the Hanshui Holy Land; I merely borrowed the Hanshui Holy Land's teleportation array." Lei Sanxiang was still a bit puzzled.

"But the Hanshui Holy Land's teleportation array can only be used by people from the Hanshui Holy Land." Lin Moyu smiled.

"There are exceptions to everything. This is a long story. Does Fellow Daoist Lei not intend to invite me to the Lei Family to sit for a while?"

"Do you intend to chat right here?"

Lei Sanxiang finally realized and quickly said,

"Not at all, not at all! Fellow Daoist Lin, please. I will immediately have people prepare a fine banquet."

Lin Moyu said, "That is unnecessary. Just prepare a quiet courtyard for me and my disciple."

"Is Ancestor Lei Yiming present?"

"I have some things to ask him." Lei Sanxiang was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know if the Ancestor is present; you would have to ask the Clan Leader about that. Let's return to the Lei Family first."

Following Lei Sanxiang back to the Lei Family, on the way, Lei Sanxiang had already given orders, and a quiet courtyard had been prepared for Lin Moyu.

Lei Sanxiang went down to find Clan Leader Lei Zhengying to ask if the Ancestor was in the clan. Actually, Lin Moyu's request was a bit excessive.

Asking to see the Lei Family's Ancestor immediately, yet acting as if it were a matter of course. Lei Sanxiang found Lei Zhengying in the study.

Lei Zhengying was practicing calligraphy and asked without looking up, "Who has come?"

Lei Sanxiang said, "It is Fellow Daoist Lin." "Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Lei Zhengying immediately thought of Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu had left a very deep impression on him back then, and later, Ancestor Lei Yiming had also said

to be courteous to Lin Moyu. Lei Zhengying asked, "How could Fellow Daoist Lin use the Hanshui Holy Land's teleportation array?"

"Could it be that he has joined the Hanshui Holy Land?"

Lei Sanxiang said, "Fellow Daoist Lin said he only borrowed the Hanshui Holy Land's teleportation array."

"He has not joined the Hanshui Holy Land." The brush in Lei Zhengying's hand stopped; he, too, could not understand.

"Since when could the Hanshui Holy Land's teleportation array be borrowed? This has never happened before."

Lei Zhengying asked, "Did Fellow Daoist Lin say anything about why he came?"

Lei Sanxiang said, "He didn't say, but Fellow Daoist Lin said he wanted to see the Ancestor."

"But I don't know if the Ancestor is in the clan." Lei Zhengying was even more puzzled; he felt this matter seemed somewhat complicated.

"The Ancestor is indeed in the clan. I will send a message to the Ancestor; you go and host Fellow Daoist Lin first."

"Do not be negligent." Lei Sanxiang acknowledged and turned to leave. Lei Zhengying suddenly called him back.

"Wait, what is Fellow Daoist Lin's cultivation level now?"

Lei Sanxiang then realized.

He couldn't see Lin Moyu's cultivation level. "I cannot see it." Lei Zhengying frowned even more tightly.

He vaguely felt that Lin Moyu must have a reason for coming, he just didn't know if it was good or bad for the Lei Family.

Over the years, the relationship between the Lei Family and the Hanshui Holy Land had been somewhat subtle. Although the Lei Family was still affiliated with the Hanshui Holy Land,

the Lei Family had the intention to break away from the Hanshui Holy Land. Of course, relying solely on the Lei Family, this was impossible.

Any Ancestor from the Hanshui Holy Land could wipe out the Lei Family. The Lei Family's confidence lay in that powerful existence within the Tianlei Mountain Range. The Hanshui Holy Land seemed to know the Lei Family's situation.

Over the years, they had turned a blind eye to the Lei Family. Lin Moyu had arrived using the Hanshui Holy Land's teleportation array and had specifically asked to see the Lei Family's Ancestor.

This had to arouse Lei Zhengying's suspicion. Lei Zhengying thought for a moment, "Do this."

"Try to find out indirectly why Fellow Daoist Lin has come. Take Princess Pengpeng with you; it's been so many years since you've seen him."

"Let Princess Pengpeng see Fellow Daoist Lin as well. Back then, Fellow Daoist Lin saved Princess Pengpeng's life. Remember,

you must host him well and not offend him." Lei Zhengying was the Clan Leader.

Many things could not be considered solely from personal feelings. He was grateful to Lin Moyu, but at the same time, he had to consider the entire Lei Family.

"I hope nothing happens!"

Lei Zhengying shook his head slightly, then left the study.

He headed deep into the Lei Family. The small courtyard Lei Sanxiang had arranged for Lin Moyu was elegant, and he had ordered fine fragrant tea to be prepared.

It was the top-grade Thunder Tea unique to the Tianlei Mountain Range, which was considered very courteous. Xiaomei poured tea for Lin Moyu.

"Teacher, why do I feel that the Lei Family's attitude toward you is a bit strange?"

Lin Moyu chuckled. "Why do you think that is?"

Xiaomei thought for a moment and said.

"It must be the issue with the teleportation array. They don't seem very friendly toward the Hanshui Holy Land." Lin Moyu said.

"Actually, the Lei Family has long had the idea of breaking away from the Hanshui Holy Land, but they feared the Hanshui Holy Land's retaliation, so they never dared to take any action."
