"Keys shaped like flags, array talismans, and command tokens?"

A peculiar gleam suddenly flashed in Kuang Fuyou's eyes.

Kuang Youliang turned his head to look at Kuang Fuyou, a hint of nervousness flickering across his face.

Xiao Mu observed the reactions of the grandfather and grandson, and quickly asked, "Old sir, have you seen this set of flag keys?"

"I've never seen them." Kuang Fuyou shook his head calmly.

However, with Xiao Mu's abilities, he easily sensed that the man's breath quickened during the denial.

"Old sir, you really need to think this through."

Xiao Mu couldn't help but threaten, "The main branch of the Kuang family, all thirteen members were killed because of this secret key."

"The people from the Heavenly Court annihilated the Kuang family to find this key. Do you think if they dare to kill the main branch, they wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Kuang Fuyou's face changed.

Xiao Mu suddenly sneered, "Old sir, you'd better consider whether the secret of this key is more important, or the lives of you and your family are more important."

Kuang Fuyou's face turned extremely grave, even showing a hint of fear.

He began to lower his head in contemplation, and after a few minutes, he suddenly raised his head, "Alright, I'll tell you, but Respected Envoy, I don't know much. I only heard my late father mention a set of array flags when I was young."

"Array flags?" Xiao Mu's heart stirred, was that secret key a set of array flags?

Kuang Fuyou recalled, "It was a set of one hundred and eight array flags. According to my late father, it was our family heirloom. It belonged to the antiques, very ancient, and of inestimable value."

"But those one hundred and eight array flags disappeared when I was a child. What happened to them, I don't know, and my father never mentioned them. Now, with my father having passed away many years ago, asking someone about them would be impossible."

Xiao Mu felt a bit disappointed but immediately asked, "So, your father should have known the whereabouts of those one hundred and eight array flags?"

"Maybe, but my father has been deceased for many years, it's been about twenty years now," Kuang Fuyou cautiously supplemented.

Then what's the use?

Xiao Mu felt deeply disappointed.

The man has been dead for over twenty years. Even if he knew the information, what's the use of him having it? Unless there was spirit blood, using it, employing the authority of life and death to resurrect the dead; or perhaps walking along the reincarnation path to bring back the Yin Spirit.

But when Kuang Fuyou's father died, the world hadn't undergone mutation, he couldn't have been a Variant, nor could he have had spirit blood.

As for bringing someone back from the reincarnation path, the conditions required are even harsher.

On the reincarnation path, with paper swords suspended high, ordinary people who die, their Yin Spirit wanders onto the reincarnation path and immediately gets lost.

If this lost Yin Spirit follows the reincarnation path forward, with the broken path ahead and paper swords hanging high, the Yin Spirit gets instantly slain, vanishes into smoke, and transforms into pure energy absorbed by the powerful ones behind the paper swords.

Unless after the Yin Spirit's death, it is continuously worshipped with incense, retaining some spirituality, can it possibly remain on the reincarnation path without going deeper and avoid being slain by the paper swords.

But how likely is that?

Kuang Fuyou gauged the look on Xiao Mu's face, seemingly guessing his thoughts, and suddenly said, "Respected Envoy, are you worried my father has reincarnated on the reincarnation path? Or worried that the clues related to the array flags have been cut off after my father's death?"

Xiao Mu replied, "Both worries are valid, your father has been dead for over twenty years, hasn't he long taken the reincarnation path? Plus, after your father's death, he didn't even tell his own son about the whereabouts of the one hundred and eight array flags, let alone anyone else?"

"Respected Envoy, worry not, my family's situation is somewhat unique."

Kuang Fuyou suddenly smiled, "After my father passed away, he has continuously been worshipped with incense until now, possibly not losing his nature on the reincarnation path."

"Your father has continuously been worshipped with incense?" Xiao Mu's eyes glinted with golden light and hope surged forth.

Kuang Fuyou earnestly nodded.

"Are there any relics?" Xiao Mu asked again.

Kuang Fuyou replied, "Respected Envoy, my family has an old homestead in Han Village, Luoxi, which my father built during his lifetime. Most of my father's relics are kept in the old homestead."

"Moreover, the whereabouts the Respected Envoy seeks, might be found in the old homestead."

Intrigued, Xiao Mu asked, "Tell me the address of the old homestead."

"Respected Envoy, there is an old watchtower house at number 73, Han Village, that watchtower house belongs to my family. Once you go, you'll know," Kuang Fuyou cautiously said.

Xiao Mu nodded with satisfaction, "Alright, this information is very crucial to me, old sir, please go rest now. Lead your family, stay at the Great Tang ruins, to avoid being found by the Heavenly Court's powerful ones."

Du Wenzhen called for an assistant, asking them to escort the Kuang family's grandfather and grandson away.

After the Kuang family left, Du Wenzhen couldn't help but sigh, "The Kuang family has quite a few secrets, Old Xiao, what are you planning to do?"

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, "I need to first go to Han Village. Retrieve the old father's relics, while seeking traces of the array flags. If I can find the array flags, that would be best. If I can't find them, I'll use the old father's relics to bring him back from the reincarnation path."

"Finding a Yin Spirit on the reincarnation path isn't that easy, right?" Du Wenzhen, having heard the method of retrieving Yin Spirits from the reincarnation path, had never seen anyone actually do it.

"It's indeed not easy." Xiao Mu nodded, "To retrieve a Yin Spirit from the reincarnation path, one would need a Heavenly God level soul treasure. But the Heavenly God level soul treasure at headquarters is controlled by one of the Grand Elders."

"One of the eight Grand Elders?" Du Wenzhen immediately grew concerned.
