670: A member of the Mo family?

Lin Yang temporarily stopped the real-time image transmission, concealing himself above the old Mo Family residence.

He locked onto those few people from Chu Country.

Their strength was not weak: one Dao Illusion Realm cultivator leading three Entering Dao Realm cultivators.

"According to Butler Fu, the strongest in the Mo Family back then was only the Mo Family Old Ancestor, who reached the Dao Tribulation Realm. But the Mo Family Old Ancestor has long since died in battle. Now, Chu Country has actually sent someone from the Dao Illusion Realm, which shows how much they value this matter."

Lin Yang thought to himself, surmising that Chu Country most likely hadn't gotten their hands on the incomplete Dao Script, and believed that the Mo Family survivors might rise again with it, which was why they were so so serious about it.

This also indicated that quite a few people from the Mo Family must have escaped back then.

After all, their presence here for inspection, or more accurately, to wait for a rabbit by a stump, suggested that Mo Family members had come to pay respects before, and not just once.

"To be able to escape from Chu Country's pursuit, this Mo Family is not simple."

Lin Yang thought silently, observing those people from Chu Country.

These guys were cautious enough, hiding in the dark without uttering a single word or making any superfluous movements, just waiting like that.

Lin Yang also waited quietly.

Until nightfall, and then when the moon was full in the sky, there was still no movement.

No one from the Mo Family appeared.

Soon, the morning sun once again bathed the earth.

"An entire memorial day, and no one came to pay respects."

Lin Yang observed the people from Chu Country again, but found that they had no intention of leaving.

"They're still not leaving?"

Lin Yang frowned slightly and continued to wait.

The people from Chu Country not leaving must have a purpose.

"Could it be that Mo Family survivors were caught when they came to pay respects on a memorial day, so they deliberately choose a different time?"

Lin Yang speculated, thinking this was very possible.

For the next half month, no one from the Mo Family appeared, and the people from Chu Country also did not leave.

"They're not leaving even after half a month?"

Lin Yang somewhat admired the patience of these people from Chu Country.

At the same time, he also quietly informed Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu about the situation.

Butler Fu was very excited: "Lord Lin Yang, the longer they stay, the more it proves that our clansmen are very likely to come and pay respects at a different time!"

Lin Yang nodded: "I know, I'm also continuing to wait."

"I've caused you trouble!" Butler Fu bowed deeply.

Lin Yang waved his hand, then temporarily cut off the communication.

He wanted to see how long these people from Chu Country could guard this place.

Time slowly flowed by.

Another half month passed in a blink of an eye.

By then, a full month had passed.

No one from the Mo Family had ever appeared.

However, those few guys from Chu Country still showed no intention of leaving!

"How interesting." Lin Yang mumbled, and waited again.

Just like that.

One month, two months, three months... five months... half a year... a year... for a full year, the people from Chu Country remained motionless.

"Still not leaving?"

Lin Yang was a little surprised.

Time flowed again.

Two years, three years... five years!

It wasn't until the fifth year that the Dao Illusion Realm cultivator from Chu Country suddenly stood up and said indifferently: "Let's go. Five years have passed. The Mo Family remnants probably won't come to pay respects this millennium."

With that, the group left.

"They're leaving now?"

Lin Yang had grown somewhat accustomed to them waiting here; these guys suddenly leaving made him feel a bit unaccustomed for a moment.

However, he did gather a piece of information from this, which was that the Mo Family survivors would come to pay respects once every ten thousand years.

Afterward, he contacted Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu: "Butler Fu, the people from Chu Country have left. They said five years have passed, and the Mo Family members probably won't come to pay respects this millennium."

Butler Fu was a little disappointed, but still thanked him: "I've taken up your time, Lord Lin Yang."

"It's a small matter. Since the Mo Family people won't be coming, I'll be leaving for now and will return next millennium." Lin Yang said.

"Alright." Butler Fu responded.

Lin Yang cut off the communication and prepared to leave as well.

But immediately after, his brows furrowed again.

Because the few Chu Country guys who had just left were gone.

However, another four people from Chu Country arrived.

These four guys were even more cautious, concealing their aura with treasures throughout and stealthily arriving above the old Mo Family residence, then waiting without a word.

And this time, there were two Dao Illusion Realm cultivators.

"They've switched to a new group and returned?" Lin Yang's departing steps paused, and he stayed once more.

This was too interesting.

Did Chu Country really find two teams to take turns on duty?

"It shouldn't be as simple as just rotating shifts."

Lin Yang secretly watched the four people, some deductions forming in his mind.

Most likely, the people from Chu Country had caught Mo Family members who came to pay respects, so from then on, Mo Family members became even more cautious when coming to pay respects.

The Mo Family members probably knew that people from Chu Country would be hiding during this time, so they wouldn't easily show themselves.

And Chu Country also knew that the Mo Family members wouldn't easily show themselves during this period, so they sent two teams, which should also serve to confuse the eye.

The first team would hide for a few years, then pretend to leave, trying to make the Mo Family members appear after seeing them leave.

But in reality, there was still a team hidden.

At this thought, Lin Yang had to admit that Chu Country was quite cunning.

Now, it was a test of who had more patience, the Mo Family or the people from Chu Country.

He also continued to wait.

And this wait lasted another five years.

Adding it all up, a full decade had passed.

However, the people from Chu Country hidden in the dark still hadn't left.

"Are they going to wait indefinitely?" Lin Yang had a notion at this moment to capture these guys and interrogate them.

But he ultimately gave up.

It wouldn't be good to alert the enemy.

Immediately, Lin Yang continued to wait.

This wait was even longer.

Nearly a hundred years!

Only then did the second team of four guys from Chu Country stand up and say: "Let's go. They haven't come for a hundred years, so it seems they really won't be coming."

With that, these people left directly.

"...They really left." Lin Yang sensed his surroundings and found that those guys had indeed left, and no third team came to replace them.

He told Butler Fu about the situation here again, and Butler Fu sighed: "Then it seems no one will really come."

"Butler Fu, don't be disappointed. Look at it from another perspective. Although we didn't wait for them, Chu Country's seriousness shows that your clansmen are indeed still alive, and even Chu Country can't find them, only passively waiting here. This is also good news."

Lin Yang saw Butler Fu's dejection and offered comfort.

"Thank you for your comfort, Lord Lin Yang." Butler Fu squeezed out a faint smile and thanked him.

"Then I'll be leaving first." Lin Yang greeted him and Xuan Xiao, then completely cut off the communication, preparing to depart.

However, just at this moment, in his perception, an Entering Dao Realm cultivator suddenly approached, hidden.

But it was not someone from Chu Country.

"Not from Chu Country, yet cautiously approaching here, could it be... someone from the Mo Family?" Lin Yang's eyes flashed, and he had a guess about this person's identity.

Sure enough.

The next instant, this person knelt in the air, bowing towards the Mo Family ruins, and said in an extremely low voice: "Mo Mian comes on behalf of the clansmen to pay respects to the spirits of our deceased relatives."

"It really is someone from the Mo Family." Lin Yang was delighted in his heart and was about to greet him.

But before he could speak, the sensing power of a Dao Illusion Realm cultivator suddenly began to sweep back and forth across the entire old Mo Family residence.

Lin Yang's eyes changed slightly, and he looked over.

It was someone from Chu Country.

Those two Dao Illusion Realm cultivators from the second team had actually returned for a surprise attack!

Their gazes swept intentionally or unintentionally over the hidden location of the Mo Family member.

Then, they suddenly attacked! (End of Chapter)
