Chapter 272: The Strange Dou Huang!
"By the way, Master, why hasn't Lin Ge arrived yet?" After returning to the inn to meditate and cultivate, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but ask Yao Chen.
"According to reason, that kid shouldn't be so slow, but you'll understand tomorrow when you go to the Mo family," Yao Chen also felt a little puzzled that they hadn't met with Jiang Lin yet.
"Master, do you think Lin Ge will stop me from seeking revenge?" In the quiet room, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the sunlight outside the window, his expression gloomy.
"Why would he stop you? Out of kindness? The inherently evil spirit race brat has no concept of good or evil," Yao Chen chuckled, then shook his head in the space of the spatial ring, "That kid's speed of information collection is far beyond ours. Though he seems like an outsider, he probably knows more than we do about the ins and outs of things. That one-star Dou Shi in Stone Desert City was killed by him. His attitude is already very clear. Do as you like."
"Then why would Lin Ge..." Xiao Yan still had some confusion in his heart.
"You're usually pretty clever, but how come you can't figure this one out? We've known that kid for quite a while, and his temper isn't too hard to figure out. He's not a good person, but he's not exactly a bad one either. He probably knows some people in the Mo family and wants to verify certain things, while also judging if your little maid has encountered any misfortune."
"If you don't take action, he might use his methods to save your maid. If you do, he'll just protect the people he knows and won't say much."
"Of course, this is all just speculation. We'll know for sure tomorrow!"
"Okay, Master!" Xiao Yan's eyes flickered with determination as he nodded seriously.
Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan had different backgrounds, so they handled things in different ways. However, Yao Chen told Xiao Yan that Jiang Lin valued the result. As long as Xiao Yan's method was simple and effective, the process didn't matter much.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin and Hai Mo, who were very popular in the Mo family, were, as expected, refused.
In the luxurious reception room of the Mo family, Jiang Lin, wearing a conical hat, sat beside Mo Cheng, a five-star Dou Ling, with a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. He gently nodded at Mo Cheng, then drank it in one gulp.
"Since Elder Mo has repeatedly denied capturing a little girl named Qing Lin, I won't say anything more. Now, I am here as a guest and don't need any special treatment."
"Hahaha! Master Youlin, you're joking! Mo Lan! Quickly take Master Youlin to rest, make sure he's well treated!" Mo Cheng laughed heartily, drank his tea, and then gestured for Mo Lan to take Jiang Lin and Hai Mo to their resting quarters.
Once the two in black robes left, Mo Cheng's face darkened instantly, and he immediately said, "Someone! Find out who leaked this information?!"
"Advice? I want to see who in the Gamma Empire can still threaten me! A small mercenary group that doesn't even have a Great Dou Master?"
"We're not going to make a move?" After Mo Lan had arranged a room for them, Hai Mo didn't treat Mo Lan like an outsider and started scheming with her right away.
Mo Lan's expression was complex, wanting to retreat but was called back by Jiang Lin.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, I'm quite popular in the Mo family, so here's a new choice for you. Do you want to listen?" Jiang Lin looked at Mo Lan with a calm gaze, then continued, "The Mo family is basically done, but you're still a person, so would you like to lead the Mo family again, and put it back on the right path?"
"If you don't want to, I won't force you. You don't have to answer right away. Tomorrow, if you want to lead the Mo family again, just stand behind me and show your stance."
Facing Mo Lan, who seemed somewhat lost and pale, Jiang Lin didn't force her and instead let her leave, giving her the night to think about it.
"I didn't want to interfere with the Mo family, but I felt it would be a shame to let them give up like this. If Mo Lan is willing to take over and reform the Mo family, the new Mo family still has great potential," Jiang Lin said after sending Mo Lan away, closing the door and turning to Hai Mo, who looked confused.
"...Has the situation changed?" Hai Mo thought for a moment and then suddenly said.
"Yes, the Mo family has been targeted. We don't need to act. Just watch the show tomorrow," Jiang Lin nodded.
"What? We haven't left today, right? How can you be so sure the Mo family is done for?" Hai Mo was obviously stunned. He couldn't figure out how Jiang Lin was so certain the Mo family was doomed. When Mo Cheng repeatedly emphasized that he had never captured a little girl, Hai Mo couldn't help but want to draw his long spear and stab it right into that old man's mouth!
"Mm, you can understand it as the strong intuition unique to geniuses," Jiang Lin didn't say much, just smiled.
"This Mo family... really is lively," Jiang Lin sighed softly to himself. Through his spiritual sense, he noticed a completely unfamiliar Dou Huang. Since he didn't know the person's stance, Jiang Lin naturally wouldn't let Hai Mo take any risks.
Hai Mo certainly wasn't afraid; after all, he was only dealing with Mo Cheng, a five-star Dou Ling. But Jiang Lin might find it a bit challenging, since he had to prepare for a potential battle with an unfamiliar Dou Huang.
Fighting might not be possible, but escaping was always an option. However, poor Hai Mo might have to be captured.
In this complicated situation, Jiang Lin chose the safest option—wait for Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong in Salt City!
Yes, even before Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong had discovered Jiang Lin, he had already noticed them while he was at the Mo family! Of course, it wasn't Jiang Lin's spiritual sense—it had the ability, but at this moment, it couldn't cover the whole Salt City, a first-tier city.
What really allowed Jiang Lin to detect Xiao Yan's whereabouts was the Fire Spirit Color Lotus in his body.
Since the Fire Spirit Color Lotus' root was from the Pure Lotus Earth Fire, it was highly sensitive to fire-type energy, especially Xiao Yan's Pure Lotus Earth Fire. As long as Xiao Yan got within a ten-kilometer range of Jiang Lin, the Fire Spirit Color Lotus would sense it. Through spiritual sense, Jiang Lin could even lock onto Xiao Yan's approximate location.
Moreover, the range of the Fire Spirit Color Lotus' perception would also increase as Jiang Lin's cultivation level rose.
In the future, if Jiang Lin practiced spatial techniques, he could always give Xiao Yan a "dimensional strike."
