77 Call from the Abyss

Li Moxian packed a small bag of clothes and other things. The kids were waiting outside her bedroom door already in their coats, carrying their own bags. She picked up her bags and smiled at hart kids as that gift ready to leave. It was very early in the morning. Li Moxian didn't want her parents to see her abs the kids leave. Her father and berated her that she eased making a very bad decision, and was unnecessarily putting the kids lives in danger. She couldn't explain it to them and to be honest she couldn't even explain it properly to herself. She only knew that something was drawing her and the kids to the Abyss.

As they quietly snuck down the stairs to get ready to leave, Li Moxian paused when she walked passed the kitchen. There was a large travel cooler and a note sitting on the counter. When Li Moxian read the note she loved back up the stairs and tears welled up in her eyes. The note was from her mother telling her that eventhough she didn't agree with her decision she still supported her. The cooler was full of waters and sandwiches she made for their trip. It also mentioned how her father was just worried about their safety and how he wasn't truly angry with her.

Li Moxian wiped the tears from here eyes and left holding her kids' hands. They took taxi to the airport. There they headed to hanger and met up with Janet on her private jet. She waited till everyone was fastened into their seats and the plane was taxiing down the runway before she spoke to Li Moxian.

"The closet I could get you was Bangladesh. From there you will have to hike around the Himalayan mountain range. It wont be a short trip. I would suggest trying to find a guide to lead on the safest route thru the mountains. But I still feel it will take you a least a month to even make it close to the Abyss. Even then you will have to sneak past the armed forces that are still stationed around the Abyss. Here is an envelope with the message for Nathan, and some funds to help you on your journey. Remember I am only doing this because you are the only one who can get a message to Nathan for me. It is imperative that he receive it as soon as possible.", Janet said all of that in one breath, feeling she would lose her nerve if she paused for even a second.

Li Moxian took the envelope and thanked Janet again for all her help. She looked at her kids and saw the smiles on their faces. They were extremely excited to be heading to see their father. They wanted him to see their progress so far. They only hoped it was enough to make their father proud of them.

The flight took a five hours but for Chen Zhen's family it seemed to take an eternity. When they landed at Bangladesh they barely took enough time to properly thank Janet and say their goodbyes before they were marching away from the airport, Li Moxian didn't require a guide for where she was headed. She couldn't get lost if she tried, she could walk there blindfolded if she wanted to, that's how ingrained into her soul it was. She could point from any direction and accurately aim at the Sacred Abyss. The closer she got to the Abyss the more powerful the pull was. As Li Moxian saw the kids staring off into the direction of the Sacred Abyss she realized that they could feel the same pull as she did.

They went around Bangladesh getting sleeping bags, warmer clothes, sturdier boots, rope, camping supplies, and rations. When they were done the bags seemed as if they would be too heavy even for strong men. Many of the guides were looking at her with smirks on their faces. They had approached her many times offering the use of their pack animals and to guide them on their way, but everytime she just refused them. Now that Li Moxian was fully supplied and ready to head out, they were waiting for her to ask for help so they could charge her three times what they offered her before. But all of them had their jaws drop when they saw Li Moxian carrying two bags herself and the kids carrying a bag each. None of them were struggling in the least. It was as if the bags were full of helium and just floated there on their backs.

The journey only took two weeks instead of the month that Janet expected. That was because Janet didn't know that they had begun cultivating already. They flew thru the mountain range covering hundreds of miles a day. The kids used it as a game to see who travel faster or farther than the other. Li Moxian smiled and laughed at the kids antics. It was a very long time since they could all just relax and enjoy life. the closer they got to the Abyss the more they felt all their anxiety, fears and doubts were beginning to feel relieved. When they finally neared the Abyss they could tell that a great battle had recently taken place there. There were still smoldering fires in different areas around the Abyss. Many of the army mechanics were trying to do repairs on the many tanks and armored vehicles that were near by. As Li Moxian was approaching from behind some trees she could hear a muffled conversation taking place in a large tent at the edge of the encampment.

Agent Matthews had seen as flash of light by the edge of the Abyss. She looked around to see if anyone else had seen it but no one seemed to have noticed anything. Agent Matthews felt she could feel a presence brushing past her but as far as her eyes could tell there was nothing around her. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the moisture she could feel in the air. This was one of the techniques that was placed into her mind from the scroll given to her by the Mudd Buddha. It allowed her to sense things that were trying to hide but using the moisture in the air as a detection catalyst. Moisture was everywhere around it would be extremely hard to avoid the tiny microscopic droplets of water in the air. She followed closely behind what she was sensing and when it got close to her tent she flashed forward and forcefully dragged it into her tent.

Zhang You was surprised to suddenly be grabbed from behind. He was so confident in his concealing technique that he didn't even pay attention to his surroundings. He only paid attention to the tree line he was heading for. So when Agent Matthews pretty much tackled him into the tent, he didn't even have time to avoid her or defend himself. As soon as she hit him his concealing technique was broken leaving him exposed for everyone to see. Fortunately she ended up bringing the both of them into the tent with her tackle, so besides some curious glances as the unexpected commotion, no one saw what actually caused it.

Agent Matthews straddled Zhang You and covered his mouth with her hand, the other hand held her index finger over her own mouth warning Zhang You not to make a sound. She slowly stood up and made a few hand seals that felt very foreign to her eventhough they were inside her head. Zhang You was surprised to see this. He could tell that she had absolutely no experience at what she was attempting. He chose not to fight back just to see if she would succeed. To his complete astonishment she actually succeed on her first try. Water formed a snake about as wide as an adult fist that coiled it way around Zhang You's body. When it had his arms and legs secured it proceed to freeze into solid ice. Zhang You was impressed by her ability. If he were still in the Body Refinement Stage this would have really been a debilitating restraint. Even a Liquid Core Stage cultivator would have to expend a lot of energy to negate the chill entering into their body from this move. But since Zhang You had already stepped into the 1st level of the Solid Core Stage thanks to his uncle's help, his physical body was already strong enough to resist this small amount of chill.

Zhang You took this time to observe Agent Matthews. He used his spiritual sense to search her mind for any useful clues about who she was. The more he watched her watching him, the more he began to appreciate her beauty. Her Auburn shoulder length hair a shade so dark it looked like shiny bronze. Her features individually weren't exquisitely beautiful but when you looked them as a whole she had a unique beauty all her own.

Agent Matthews had to admit that there was something intriguing about this stranger who was sneaking away from the Abyss. He was in no way physically handsome to her but his bearing had a charm that drew her in. Their mutual observation lasted for a couple minutes before Agent Matthews finally broke the silence.

"Can you understand me?"

Zhang You just nodded his head.

"Can you communicate with me in my language?"

"Yes I can?", Zhang You replied.

"Good now tell me who you are and why were you trying to sneak into our world?"

"Are you the strongest person here?", Zhang You asked.

"Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?", Agent Matthews asked confused by Zhang You's seemingly random question.

"Perfect!", Zhang You said as he broke thru his restraints and rushed toward Agent Matthews,
