She had managed to protect the Moon Moth Phoenix, but the Moon Moth Phoenix showed no sign of waking up. Yu Shishi's face was still covered in tears, since most of the moths had died in the battle. Only a few of them were still flying around Yu Shishi with injuries.
"Don't be too sad," Mu Ningxue comforted her softly.
Yu Shishi wiped her tears and forced a sad smile, "It's worth it as long as I can protect the Moon Moth Phoenix."
"You're still here, too. You've been taking good care of the moths. They will soon reproduce again," Mu Ningxue said.
"Mm, mm!" Yu Shishi nodded heavily.
Either way, she had protected what she needed to protect. She was most afraid of sacrificing everything, only to have what she needed to protect taken away. It was the kind of pain that would cause her to lose all hope!
"I'm looking for a new habitat for her. I'm sorry, but I can't let you know," Yu Shishi said.
"Wait," Mofan stopped Yu Shishi.
Yu Shishi was still holding a grudge against Mofan. She looked at Mofan cautiously. She was afraid that these people would try to disturb the Moon Moth Phoenix again after she finally drove them away.
"I don't think anyone apart from you knows where the Moon Moth Phoenix is. How did they find it so accurately?" Mofan asked in confusion.
"Well … I don't know either," Yu Shishi gave it some thought. He was right, how did they know where the Moon Moth Phoenix was?
At this moment, Lingling walked to the group of people subdued by Ye Ying. Her eyes were fixed on a man who had his head lowered the entire time.
"You're Lian Xishan, right?" Ling Ling asked him.
The man raised his head, his face full of panic and fear.
Lian Xishan would never have thought that Chairman Shao Zheng was already paying attention to the incident. Ke Lingxi had already colluded with outsiders to steal the Totem Beasts. As their guide, he would have to bear the responsibility too!
"No … no," Lian Xishan quickly denied it.
"You're really a disgrace to Jiang Shaojun. He's searching for the Ancient Totem with no regard for his own life, yet you're selling the information to these people with bad intentions." Lingling snorted coldly with a hint of anger.
"Is this guy Jiang Shaojun's companion?" Mofan stared at Lian Xishan.
"Mm, he's such a scum," Ling Ling snapped.
Mofan went up to Lian Xishan and snarled, "I've asked around.. Jiang Shaojun went missing when he was looking for an Ancient Totem Beasts.....................................................
When Lian Xishan heard this, his face turned pale with fright!
God, he didn't kill Jiang Shaojun. Lian Xishan shook his head and said, "This really has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill him. He wanted to go there himself. I thought it was too dangerous, and his idea was too unrealistic, so my team didn't go with him!"
"Oh? Where did he go after that? Do you know? "Mofan asked.
"He went to a lot of places. He went to Hangzhou once and came to me excitedly. He told me that he had discovered a great secret and hoped that I could help him find the Totem Beasts. I thought he was too obsessed with finding the Totem Beasts, so I ignored him. He was very disappointed in me, so he went to the north, "Lian Xishan said.
Lian Xishan did not dare to hide anything after being accused of murder. He quickly told Gu Xijiu everything he knew.
"He went to Hangzhou?" Mofan fell into deep thought.
"I only know that he probably went to Gansu after that," Lian Xishan said with a forehead full of sweat.
"So, do you recognize this feather?" Mofan took out a huge feather from his space bag.
Lian Xishan obviously recognized the feather. His expression gave him away.
After a long time, Lian Xishan came back to his senses and stammered, "We spent a lot of effort to find this feather. Later, because of a serious disagreement in our team, we didn't continue."
"So where did you find this feather?" Mofan asked.
"In Yantai. If you want more clues, I can give you all of them. I'll give them to you, "Lian Xishan said.
"It seems like you are still useful. If that's the case, I'll send you to the Enforcement Union later," Mofan smiled.
Lian Xishan immediately put on a grateful expression. If Chairman Shao Zheng really found out about this, a mere historian like him would definitely be in deep trouble.
"I'll be going then," Yu Shishi said.
"If the Moon Moth Phoenix wakes up, can you ask her if she knows any other Totem Beasts?" Mofan said.
"Got it!" Yu Shishi nodded. It was not too much to ask for, compared to Mofan and Mu Ningxue's help.
…
…
The forest was closer to Hangzhou. Mofan, Mu Ningxue, Nighthawk, and Ling Ling escorted the others to Hangzhou.
Tangyue happened to be there when they arrived at the Lingyin Enforcement Union. Her eyes widened as she stared at Mofan, Nighthawk, Mu Ningxue, and Ling Ling in confusion.
Tang Zhong was there too. Mofan spoke before he could speak, "Old Tang, can I borrow your Lingyin Enforcement Union's prison? These people are quite important to the Chairman."
"Can you at least tell me what's going on? Zeng Guanglie, Ke Lingxi, did you two do something wrong?" Tang Zhong recognized the two.
The Donghai Magic Association and Hangzhou Magic Association were in frequent contact. Zeng Guanglie and Ke Lingxi were both high-ranking Magicians. Why would Nighthawk bring them here like prisoners?
Tang Zhong came to a realization after hearing Nighthawk's brief explanation.
"What a fool!" Tang Zhong said with a sad face, as if he was quite close to Ke Lingxi.
"Brother Tang Zhong, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I was too impatient," Ke Lingxi let out a heavy sigh.
It was useless to say anything now. He had found the Totem Beasts, yet he did not tell any Councilman about it. He even colluded with outsiders. There was no way he could run away from the crime!
"Just tell us what happened, and we might be able to spare your life," Tang Zhong said.
"I will, sigh." Ke Lingxi looked dejected.
"Yue, send them to the prison," Tang Zhong said.
"Lots of things have happened lately. The Lingyin Enforcement Union's prison is almost full," Tangyue said.
…
…
It was already late at night. Mofan did not leave. He decided to stay in Hangzhou with Mu Ningxue.
When it came to dates, the scenery of the island in the middle of the lake was obviously the most attractive. Mofan had yet to visit a dark forest or a clear, beautiful lake with Mu Ningxue. This time, Mofan purposely brought Mu Ningxue to the island in the middle of the lake. The place was surrounded by water, with pavilions and towers. It was truly a fascinating place …
"Are you really planning to look for the Totem Beasts?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"Mm, your cultivation speed is so fast that I can't keep up with it," Mofan said.
"What does that have to do with you looking for the Totem Beasts?" Mu Ningxue asked with a confused face.
"I don't know. I feel that there is a special predestined relationship between me and the Totem Beasts. There is a voice that has been calling me. Every time I come into contact with a Totem Beast, the call becomes stronger," Mofan said seriously.
Mu Ningxue listened and rolled her eyes at Mofan for no reason, "Nonsense! Since you like it, then go. Anyway, you are a person who can't stay idle. "
"Xue Xue, you know me well," Mofan said and took the initiative to move closer.
Mu Ningxue knew Mofan's intention. Her small steps suddenly became lighter, and she walked into an attic.
"You seem to have told me about the carvings on the walls," Mu Ningxue saw the carvings on the walls, and used them to divert Mofan's attention away from her.
"Ah, you're talking about this? I've been here many times, but I couldn't come up with a better explanation … this part is similar to the carvings on the wooden clapper in Japan. It looks like words, but it doesn't look like anything at all. This part is from the Black Totem Snake. Look, there's a snake that is protecting the village. It's referring to the Black Totem Snake … and this …" Mofan was explaining to Mu Ningxue about the carvings on the walls when a thought suddenly crossed his mind, causing him to come to a halt.
Mu Ningxue looked at Mofan. Her breathing became lighter when she saw him falling silent.
Mu Ningxue was familiar with Mofan. She knew Mofan must have thought of something. She did not interrupt him.
As she thought, Mofan suddenly stared at the carvings on the walls. He first stared at the complete Totem Carvings on the Black Totem Snake, before shifting his attention to the carvings on the wooden clapper!
"Xue Xue, take a look, isn't this carvings similar to the ones on the Moon Moth Phoenix's giant cocoon we saw before?" Mofan suddenly went up to the wall and pointed at a strange carvings on the wall.
Mu Ningxue stared at the spot Mofan was pointing at and recalled the carvings on the giant cocoon. She nodded and said, "It's true, it's the same!"
"Take a look at this!" Mofan took out the Totem Feather he had given Lian Xishan and placed it on the Moon Moth Phoenix Totem.
Mu Ningxue took a closer look. After comparing the patterns, Mu Ningxue was surprised to discover that the pattern of the Moon Moth Phoenix was very similar to the pattern of the feather. They even overlapped, like two fingerprints that were more than ninety percent identical!
Of course, the texture of a totem was dozens of times larger than a fingerprint!
But was this a coincidence?
The Moon Moth Phoenix's Totem Runes overlapped with the Totem Runes on the mysterious feather!
