As both of them shouted out, Miao Xin had already fallen off the cliff along with the Mo Yu Flower box.
Miao Xin held the box of the Mo Yu Flower, feeling her body constantly sinking, yet a relaxed expression appeared on her face. Although she couldn't use the Sky Control Technique, by using some Floating Techniques, she could make her body light as a feather, and then look for an opportunity to climb onto a rock and ascend.
Relief washed over Miao Xin, but suddenly her complexion drastically changed, because she realized she couldn't muster even a trace of Spiritual Energy; the Spiritual Energy inside her was as if it had frozen, utterly unable to mobilize.
"Could it be that I'm going to die just like this?"
Miao Xin held the Mo Yu Flower box in one hand, and the other hand clenched tight, feeling a stabbing pain in her palm—it was the silver ring Lin Mo had given her.
Now, for some reason, the image of that young man surfaced in Miao Xin's mind.
The feeling was unexpectedly familiar, as if the two had known each other for a very long time.
As Miao Xin fell along with the Mo Yu Flower, Miao Zhu and Master Feng's faces changed slightly; at this moment, a figure descended from the sky towards the cliff, plunging down at an even faster speed.
"Is that Master Lin?" asked Master Feng, suddenly catching sight of the figure.
Miao Zhu also saw the figure and widened her eyes in disbelief. She never thought that Lin Mo, in order to save her, would disregard his own life.
Although Magic Users had their spells, the thick fog shrouding the abyss below was extremely dangerous, and a slight misstep could lead to their demise.
Miao Xin closed her eyes, feeling the whistling wind around her, her body kept sinking, but her heart and face remained surprisingly calm. At that moment, she felt something pass by her at an even greater speed, and then felt her body being held by someone.
When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to find herself in Lin Mo's arms, both of them plummeting rapidly.
"You..." Miao Xin bit her lip, suddenly moved as she looked at Lin Mo. She hadn't expected Lin Mo to jump off the cliff without considering the dangers below, all to save her.
"I said you're my wife; how could I just watch you die?" Lin Mo's face revealed a faint smile, warm like sunlight shining on one's face, giving a very comfortable feeling.
Miao Xin didn't know what he was talking about, but looking at the somewhat blissful smile on Lin Mo's face left her somewhat entranced.
Suddenly, Miao Xin thought of something and asked, "Can you use Spiritual Energy?"
"I can't," Lin Mo shook his head, having felt the presence of a Prohibition from the moment he descended. Within its bounds, the Spiritual Energy and True Qi inside him were like dead water, completely immutable.
"Do you regret it then?" Miao Xin's eyes reddened as she spoke. Perhaps Lin Mo wasn't aware of the situation when he jumped, but now that it had occurred, would he regret coming down to save her?
Lin Mo looked down slightly, gazing at the delicate figure in his arms, "In my life, I, Lin Mo, have never regretted anything."
As he spoke, Lin Mo clenched his fist, and the Spiritual Energy and True Qi inside him, which were like dead water, began to ripple.
Beneath them might be a supremely Forbidden Land, and the Array still had some power left.
But Miao Xin was different, unable to use Spiritual Energy, she was just an ordinary person, and falling from such a height would undoubtedly lead to her being smashed to pieces.
"No... I won't let any regrets happen again!"
Lin Mo seemed like an enraged beast, howling as his muscles tensed up like steel, bulging veins throbbing, attempting with all his might to break through the ancient Array's Prohibition set by a Great Power from ages past. Yet such an Array was not so easily broken free from.
Lin Mo's starry eyes frowned slightly while at the same time, the Spiritual Energy within him seemed to find a gap. Seizing the moment, Lin Mo immediately formed a Spell and cast it onto Miao Xin.
Miao Xin felt her body suddenly become much lighter, and her falling speed also slowed down. She was like a feather, drifting slowly downward through the empty space.
After doing all of this, Lin Mo voluntarily let go and, like a rock, plummeted towards the ground below.
"Lin Mo."
Miao Xin suddenly felt her heart constrict fiercely as if someone had grasped and squeezed it. She turned her head and saw Lin Mo rapidly disappearing into the mist below, her eyes reddening as tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
...
At the edge of the cliff, after waiting for about an hour, Master Feng and the others hadn't seen the two return. They grabbed a prisoner in military uniform to come over since from their vantage point, the cliff was shrouded in thick mist, and it was impossible to see what lay beneath. They had to ask a local.
"Mercy, Immortals, please have mercy..."
The Myanmar officer was disheveled, and judging by his uniform, he seemed to be of a significant rank.
Miao Zhu cast a Spell to understand the words of the other.
"Mercy, Immortals, General Moso has already perished, I'm just a small fry, please, let me go." The man kneeled on the ground, knocking his head in continual bows.
Before Miao Zhu could ask anything, the words of the other made her pause for a moment and then she quickly asked, "What did you just say? Moso is dead? Didn't you send an army over?"
She naturally assumed Lin Mo had led the army away, but never expected that Lin Mo could have killed Moso.
"An army? An Immortal came just now and slaughtered our army, General Moso too," remembering the terrifying prowess displayed by the youth on top of the Big Golden Snake, the Myanmar officer's face showed deep fear.
Miao Zhu's cherry lips parted in shock; Lin Mo had single-handedly annihilated the army.
"Wait, what's the situation below?" After the shock, Miao Zhu asked.
"Below... below lies the Death Forest... it's the dwelling of death itself, no man should enter," the officer responded.
"The Death Forest?" Master Feng frowned with a growing sense of unease.
The Myanmar officer explained, "I've only heard of it. Even the Magic Masters from the Ghost Witch Sect dare not enter it lightly. Everyone who goes in never comes back."
Knowing Earth harbored some 'Forbidden Lands' that were likely the sites of past Sects but had become terrifying Forbidden Lands over time, Miao Zhu and Master Feng, being Magic Users, understood instantly. "If even the people of the Ghost Witch Sect dare not enter, then isn't my elder martial sister in danger?" Miao Zhu's expression turned grave abruptly.
Time passed—though they knew not how long.
Miao Xin opened her eyes to find herself lying on a soft patch of grass surrounded by dense, white fog.
Lin Mo was seated nearby, meditating. But a moment later, Lin Mo shook his head, opened his eyes, and saw the now-awake Miao Xin.
"Are you alright?" Lin Mo asked.
