Chapter 49: Immortality and Resurrection
Inside a small compartment within the library, Su Xiao was frowning in thought. He had already learned about the Death Land and the Moyi Family, and his goal was clear: find Moyi Nora. Once he found her, the Death Land wouldn't be far off.
However, the records on Moyi Nora left him troubled. The Moyi Family documents clearly stated that to kill Moyi Nora, one must also kill Eyun at the same time.
Currently, only two of the three direct members of the Moyi Family remained. Morisha had never mentioned being part of the Moyi Family from start to finish, but she was definitely closely connected to the Death Land. As the second daughter of the Moyi Family, the heirloom that was once in her hands could not be ignored.
According to Melody's description, that heirloom was a strangely shaped short sword. It was more like an ornament than a weapon.
When Melody first obtained the heirloom, she instinctively thought it was some kind of powerful weapon. But after some research, she discovered that this thing couldn't even be used in battle—it would take considerable effort just to stab an ordinary person to death with it. This disappointed her greatly. Just as she was about to sell this hot potato, it was stolen.
Having her own things stolen, the swindling Melody naturally couldn't swallow that insult. After some investigation, she learned that the item had already fallen into the hands of someone in the Southern Region.
Melody knew about the relationship between Morisha and Moyi Nora, so she immediately realized that Moyi Nora had sent someone to retrieve the dagger. She could only reluctantly give up; it wasn't worth risking her life for something with an unclear purpose.
Compared to the Moyi Family heirloom, Su Xiao was more concerned about the two sisters, Moyi Nora and Eyun. According to reliable intelligence, to kill Moyi Nora, one must first kill Eyun.
When he saw this intelligence, Su Xiao immediately thought of the Fifth Stage White Witch. But Moyi Nora was an elemental witch, said to possess one of the most lethal abilities among elemental systems, while Eyun was a curse-system witch. The two couldn't have a relationship where they resurrect each other through avatars and true bodies. Neither of them was related to the White Witch.
Another piece of information also caught Su Xiao's attention: Eyun was a freak, a freak even her parents despised.
Su Xiao's thoughts gradually became clearer. If the intelligence was accurate, then he absolutely couldn't recklessly confront Moyi Nora. If these two sisters weren't self-replicating but rather symbiotic, then the Fifth Stage Witch Moyi Nora was almost invincible.
Along with the bad news, there was also good news. Moyi Nora was a major headache for the Holy Healing Church. Su Xiao was now a Red Hunter of the Holy Healing Church. If he were to deal with Moyi Nora, the Holy Healing Church should be able to provide some degree of support. Exactly how much support remained unknown.
Thinking this, Su Xiao stepped out of the compartment and walked to the library entrance. Xue Yi was still lazily lying on that small wooden bed, holding a book and reading it with great interest. The title was "The Secret of the Blue Maiden." From the title alone, it was clear this was likely a pornographic book.
Noticing Su Xiao standing in front of her, Xue Yi shifted her gaze. "What?"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Based on his judgment, Xue Yi was very strong, capable of taking on a Fifth Stage Witch alone. Old Man Carmen was also strong, but he was a notch below Xue Yi. As for Xue Yi's sister, Xue Li, she was just an ordinary girl.
"If I go to the Southern Region to kill Moyi Nora, based on your experience, what are the chances of success?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Xue Yi looked at Su Xiao with confusion, but he just silently stared back at her.
"Tch, are you a beast? You can even sense that."
Xue Yi put away the pornographic book, stretched, and her entire skeleton cracked and popped.
"Don't even think about it. Before I could leave the Central Region, I had to fight that woman several times a year. Can you imagine? I beat her into a pile of meat paste, and she crawled out of it. I lost my strongest weapon because of that."
Xue Yi raised her right arm, and her five fingers twisted unnaturally. This was clearly a prosthetic limb, but it was very intricately constructed, with a touch identical to a normal arm. When Su Xiao had tied Xue Yi up last time, he hadn't noticed anything unusual about this arm.
"You managed to kill Morisha in West Port, which is surprising, but I advise you to give up. Moyi Nora is completely different from Morisha. Besides, she has that freak sister. That thing is almost immortal... It can no longer be called a human or a witch."
Xue Yi's words made Su Xiao's eyes light up. Clearly, this girl and Moyi Nora were archenemies.
"Without trying, I won't give up. Tell me, what's so special about those two sisters?"
Su Xiao wasn't in a hurry to leave the library. For now, finding a way to leverage the Holy Healing Church's power was the best choice. If he wanted to deal with Moyi Nora, he needed someone to simultaneously deal with Eyun. Seeking this force from the Holy Healing Church was the safest option.
"What's so special?"
Xue Yi scratched her blonde hair, messing up her side ponytail.
"Actually, Moyi Nora is still somewhat normal. She's just strong. The real headache is her sister, Eyun. If I'm not mistaken, when you were tracking Moyi Nora, you must have already experienced that curse, right? The one that turns people to ashes. That came from Eyun..."
Through Xue Yi's brief explanation, Su Xiao gained a better understanding of the two sisters in the Southern Region.
Moyi Nora: Fifth Stage Elemental Witch, the strongest witch currently alive (excluding deceased witches).
Eyun: Fifth Stage Curse-System Witch, possesses the longest-range curse-type ability known, immortality, significantly reduced combat power after exposure, other details unknown.
If only combat power was considered, Moyi Nora was undoubtedly the strongest witch alive, bar none. Xue Yi's description was that even if three Morishas simultaneously faced Moyi Nora, they wouldn't be a match.
"You're not the first person to want to kill Moyi Nora. Before you, countless witch hunters have tried to sever the Moyi Family bloodline, but all failed."
Xue Yi sighed. As Moyi Nora's archenemy, she naturally knew that woman's strength.
"The Holy Healing Church has sent out two teams multiple times. One team was responsible for assassinating Eyun, the other for Moyi Nora. You guessed right, I was in the team tasked with killing Moyi Nora. We attempted this scale of assassination many times. Once, we 'killed' Eyun, but she only stayed dead for half an hour before 'resurrecting.' I was just minutes away from killing Moyi Nora, but..."
Xue Yi didn't continue. From her words, Su Xiao learned the method to kill Moyi Nora.
Eyun's immortality wasn't absolute. As long as her body was destroyed, she would fall silent for half an hour. If Moyi Nora died within that half hour, the connection between the two sisters would be broken. Of course, this was just a guess Xue Yi had arrived at after many attempts.
