Xiang Beifei immediately took the moonprint Gu worm and examined it closely. Fortunately, the soul power of the Gu worm had not been completely depleted.
"Is this the moonprint of Xiao Houzi?" Jiang Shan asked eagerly.
"It should be," Xiang Beifei replied.
"Can Xiao Houzi still... still be saved?" Uncle Liang asked.
He originally wanted to try again later, but the soul power attached to the moonprint was gradually fading; every minute of delay would weaken Xiao Houzi’s soul power.
However, this wasn’t a major issue. The power of Return to the Original State instantly spread from Xiang Beifei to the moonprint Gu worm, as he had to restore the soul power that had been devoured by the moonprint Gu worm.
The moonprint Gu worm had no way to resist Xiang Beifei’s "Return to the Original State." It returned the soul power in the same way it had devoured it.
But Xiang Beifei didn’t restore too much of the soul; he kept it at the state before Xiao Houzi died. Otherwise, over-restoration would lead to the moonprint Gu worm’s aura being too weak to coordinate with that body.
Xiang Beifei waved his hand again, and Xiao Houzi’s body appeared in midair. He transplanted the moonprint Gu worm onto Xiao Houzi’s wrist!
These unformed moonprint Gu worms cannot cultivate independently and must rely on absorbing the host’s physical strength. When Xiang Beifei transplanted the moonprint Gu worm onto Xiao Houzi, it immediately burrowed into Xiao Houzi’s arm eagerly, like a fish returning to the sea.
When the moonprint Gu worm entered Xiao Houzi’s wrist, it realized this was a dead body, unfit for parasitism, and wanted to escape. But Xiang Beifei directly blocked its retreat, forcing it to accept the body.
The moonprint Gu worm was intimidated by Xiang Beifei’s power, knowing it would be in trouble if it didn’t accept the body. To preserve itself, the moonprint Gu worm began working hard to activate the body’s various perceptions, allowing the heart and brain to restart.
The soul power gradually returned to Xiao Houzi’s body, suddenly emitting a white glow that enveloped his body’s meridians. Xiang Beifei guided this power, helping the moonprint Gu worm readjust within Xiao Houzi’s body.
This body was restored by Xiang Beifei’s "Return to the Original State," so it was relatively familiar.
The moonprint Gu worm was originally in this body, so returning wasn’t too difficult. Soon, Xiao Houzi began to breathe!
"Is he really alive?" Jiang Shan was overjoyed and wanted to approach but restrained himself.
Jiang Feng was also incredulous, having never witnessed such an odd way of rescuing someone. He realized the dead could be revived in this strange method.
But for a long time, Xiao Houzi didn’t open his eyes.
"But why isn’t he awake?" Jiang Feng asked.
"He hasn’t fully adjusted yet; he’ll wake up," Xiang Beifei said.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Jiang Shan was immensely grateful.
Xiang Beifei also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Being able to save Xiao Houzi could be considered an exception.
For ordinary Jiuzhou people, there’s no way to resurrect after death. But people in Changpan Valley were quite special. Strictly speaking, their souls were preserved by the moonprint Gu worm. To survive, the moonprint Gu worm would make every effort to bring the host body’s quality to its standard, which is why Xiao Houzi could be revived.
Xiang Beifei waved his hand again, using systematic abilities to collect Xiao Houzi.
At this time, Uncle Liang asked, "Right, can these other eggs also be saved? Last month, Niu’s son was eaten by a desolate beast while hunting, is his moonprint also here?"
Xiang Beifei shook his head and said, "Too much time has passed; the soul power is likely mostly consumed, and I don’t know where his body is."
Last month, Xiang Beifei hadn’t been here and couldn’t do anything about it. Most of these eggs were parasitic on humans, but due to accidents, they fled back here to wait for redistribution. Many soul powers dissipated, unlike the luck of Xiao Houzi.
On the side, celestial maiden Guanghui was even more astonished!
She hadn’t expected that Xiang Beifei truly possessed such abilities.
But she was increasingly uneasy because Xiang Beifei could destroy these eggs. If these eggs were all destroyed, it would cut off the lifeline of their Moon God Race!
"Since these eggs are useless, they can’t be allowed to continue aiding evil," Uncle Liang said angrily.
There were tens of thousands of eggs here, not all from humans; there were other Yi Tribe people too. But tens of thousands of eggs meant that the Meat-Winged Monsters slaughtered tens of thousands of hosts, building their race’s continuation on the enslavement and slaughter of others. Uncle Liang had long been deeply disgusted with these eggs.
Xiang Beifei also had the same idea. Just as he was about to act, Xiaohei suddenly raised its head and called out cautiously!
Xiang Beifei also sensed something was wrong!
"Not good, someone’s coming in!" Xiang Beifei said in a low voice.
"What do we do now?" Uncle Liang asked.
"You act like just now,"
Xiang Beifei immediately used Orifice Perception to conceal himself, and he gave a warning glance to celestial maiden Guanghui, forbidding her from slipping up.
A fluctuation came through the air, as if the Netherworld Holy Eye was checking someone again. A white light flashed, and a middle-aged man with a kindly face appeared on the hill!
Xiang Beifei’s gaze slightly hardened!
This middle-aged man had eight wings!
To cultivate eight wings meant this guy was even stronger than the Flaming Six Wings encountered previously!
Celestial maiden Guanghui’s eyes were filled with intense emotion!
Clearly, this middle-aged man was Wu Bayi!
If not controlled by Xiang Beifei, she would have roared out.
—Master, you finally came! Stop that bastard!
Although celestial maiden Guanghui couldn’t speak the truth, Wu Bayi’s presence gave her great confidence. She hoped Wu Bayi would quickly sense something amiss and rescue her.
Wu Bayi gave celestial maiden Guanghui a slight smile, saying, "Guanghui, as I was passing by earlier, the guards told me you brought back three gifted livestock. What potential do they have?"
The talents devoured by the Meat-Winged Monsters are human talents, crucial for them. Even a powerful being like Wu Bayi would be particularly attentive to this.
Celestial maiden Guanghui responded, "Lord Wu, they have Six-Wing potential."
Wu Bayi’s eyes lit up, looking quite pleased, "We haven’t found Six-Wing potential for many years. Those Changpan Valley livestock finally produced a batch of rare good seeds!"
Eggs with Six-Wing potential are extremely rare because, if nurtured properly, the Meat-Winged Monsters from Six-Wing potential can certainly cultivate to the Heavenly Connection realm in the future!
Celestial maiden Guanghui, seeing her master’s joy for the Six-Wing potential, was unsure what to say. After all, she had witnessed the twelve-wing divine eggs today!
"Indeed, the livestock in Changpan Valley went all out this time." Celestial maiden Guanghui nodded in agreement.
Wu Bayi turned his gaze to Uncle Liang and the others, scrutinizing the moonprints on their arms, confirming they were three six-wing moonprints, and smiled even more happily.
"I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll personally torment these three," Wu Bayi said kindly.
Uncle Liang and the others tensed up once more upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, Xiang Beifei realized that things were amiss.
Wu Bayi wasn’t like Wu Tian, a practitioner at the orifice-transforming stage. This guy was powerful, stronger than the Flaming Six Wings at that time, and one-shot killing him was impossible!
This was troublesome!
