252: Chapter 252 Tang Jing's Reasoning

Since the Law Enforcement Hall wanted to protect Di Yue, Ye Mo had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

Ye Mo directly transformed into the appearance of Sect Leader Xu Geng.

Xie Lin put on her clothes and immediately notified her maid to head to Blood Drink.

Next, Ye Mo arrived at the room in the Mirror Moon Gang where the Primordial Spirit soul lamps were kept and took away Sect Leader Xu Geng's soul lamp.

Afterward, Xie Lin brought Ye Mo into a study.

Inside the study, Xie Lin glanced at Ye Mo from time to time.

At first, she was indeed very afraid, but now, the more she looked at Ye Mo, the more pleasing he appeared to her.

However, she also knew that to be able to perform soul searching on Sect Leader Xu Geng, Ye Mo had to be at least at the Void Refining stage.

This was a man no less impressive than her own father.

"Senior, I was previously forced by Di Yue, which is why I agreed to attack you. I will never dare to do it again in the future. Can you forgive me?"

Emboldened, Xie Lin slowly walked toward Ye Mo, her tight-fitting dress loosening as the sash fell to the ground without her noticing.

She was still very confident in her appearance.

Of the Protectors within the gang, none could resist her, all falling under her charms.

But those were only at the Soul Transformation stage; if she could conquer a Void Refining expert, she could be truly proud.

Seeing that Ye Mo did not seem to refuse, Xie Lin grew even bolder, and her dress fell off in an instant.

"Madam, please have some self-respect!" Ye Mo waved his hand, directly tossing Xie Lin into the corner of the room.

"You!"

Xie Lin was furious, but she quickly suppressed it. "Yes, yes, it is Lin'er who was a bit too eager. After we deal with Di Yue, Lin'er will serve you properly."

Xie Lin put on a pitiful expression.

In her heart, however, she secretly swore that once she conquered Ye Mo, she would have her father suppress him.

A quarter of an hour later, Di Yue and Qian Haoyan finally arrived.

Xie Lin's maid had told them that Ye Mo had already been killed and asked them to come confirm his corpse.

It had been so long that Di Yue was about to give up.

She hadn't expected success after all.

"Sect Leader Xu, where is Ye Mo's corpse now?" Di Yue and Qian Haoyan said loudly as soon as they entered the study.

Xie Lin looked at them coldly; they truly had no idea they were at death's door.

"Sect Leader Xu, I am asking you a question..."

Di Yue continued to ask.

Perhaps because they were too excited, neither of them noticed that something was wrong with Xie Lin's expression.

Ye Mo did not speak; he simply waved his hand, sealing both of them.

For the sake of safety, Ye Mo wanted to see why Captain Tang Jing wanted to help Di Yue, so he directly performed soul searching on both of them.

"Sect Leader Xu Geng, what are you doing? You actually dare to lay a hand on a Disciple of my Thunder God Sect..."

Di Yue looked panicked, but before she could finish.

Ye Mo pointed his finger at her forehead.

What surprised Ye Mo was that Captain Tang Jing had no relationship with her; he had only intervened to bail them out of the Law Enforcement Hall entirely for the sake of the Blood Drinker Demon Hunting Squad that Di Yue belonged to.

"Sect Leader Xu Geng, you are crazy, do you not want to live anymore!"

When Qian Haoyan saw Ye Mo walking toward him, his expression changed drastically.

Ye Mo ignored him and performed soul searching again.

A moment later, a sneer appeared on Ye Mo's Face.

Ye Mo finally understood why Captain Tang Jing wanted to protect Di Yue and Qian Haoyan.

The reason lay with Qian Haoyan.

Although Qian Haoyan was only an Outer Sect Disciple, his brother-in-law was an Outer Sect Elder of the Thunder God Sect with Body Integration cultivation.

Qian Haoyan had come to the Demon Cultivation Sea entirely to slack off and earn contribution points.

Captain Tang Jing had arranged for him to be a squad leader of ten, but had never let him go out to sea.

During the last Thousand Islands War, Ye Mo had not seen Qian Haoyan either.

After putting both of them into his Storage Pouch, Ye Mo walked toward Xie Lin.

Xie Lin's Face lit up with joy; men, after all, could never resist her beauty.

"Senior, do you like it in the study..."

"I am generally not interested in used goods."

Ye Mo directly crushed Xie Lin's head and threw her into the Storage Pouch.

He then found the previous maid and struck her into a bloody mist.

Then, he swaggered out of the Mirror Moon Gang.

A moment later, Ye Mo arrived at the teleportation array of the Deacon Hall.

He returned to the Thunder God Sect.

Lin Xinyue's belly was already protruding high; she was nearly eight months pregnant.

Ye Mo stayed with her for two hours before heading to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for the Advanced Artifact Refining Compendium, Level 6.

The Thunder God Sect was vicious enough; for such an Advanced Artifact Refining compendium, they sold it broken down level by level, and each level was more expensive than the last.

Level 6 required ten million contribution points, and Level 7 required one hundred million.

Level 8 reached one billion, and Ye Mo did not see Level 9, nor did he know if it even existed.

"You can only view it for one month. After one month, you must return it."

The female Disciple at the Scripture Pavilion said with an indifferent expression.

"Alright."

Ye Mo naturally did not need a month; he only needed to memorize the knowledge, without needing to understand it immediately.

After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Ye Mo went to the Artifact Hall and spent five million contribution points to exchange for Materials to refine a treasure ship.

In the Demon Cultivation Sea, Ye Mo had also collected quite a few Materials for refining a treasure ship.

The five million contribution points were mainly for exchanging for Ten-Thousand-Year Flying Cloud Wood.

This item required a relatively large quantity.

The Hundred-Feather treasure ship had a massive volume; even if ten thousand people rode it, it would not be crowded.

Of course, the size could also be controlled by oneself.

After purchasing all the items, Ye Mo planned to head to the Demon Cultivation Sea; after all, in the Demon Cultivation Sea, Ye Mo could boldly refine the treasure ship without worrying about being discovered by others.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Lin Xinyue lay in Ye Mo's arms, her eyes revealing reluctance.

"I haven't gathered enough contribution points yet. After I return next time, I promise you I will stay in the Sect and accompany you and the child every day."

Ye Mo still had to earn ten million contribution points to maintain his status as an Inner Sect Disciple.

"You don't need to push yourself so hard. I am also about to Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage now; when that happens, I can also practice Alchemy and earn contribution points."

Lin Xinyue was originally a Level 2 Alchemist with great talent. After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, her Primordial Spirit would solidify, and it would not be difficult for her to become a Level 3 Alchemist.

"How could I use your contribution points? After you break through to the Golden Core stage, you should purchase dual-element Divine Ability as soon as possible."

"I am not in a hurry. I heard that the Demon Cultivation Sea is very dangerous, I am just worried..."

"Rest assured, I know what I am doing."

"Then promise me you will return before the child is born."

"I definitely will."

...

Ye Mo arrived at Thunder God City and was waiting for the teleportation array to open.

What Ye Mo did not know was that when he killed Xie Lin.

Xie Lin's father, Xie Jin, had immediately arrived at the Mirror Moon Gang.

After some investigation, he discovered that it was actually his son-in-law who had killed his daughter.

He could not accept this.

However, soon, Captain Tang Jing also arrived at the Mirror Moon Gang.

Then they discovered that during this period, quite a few Protectors and Disciples of the Mirror Moon Gang had died.

"There must be something suspicious about this matter. I know Sect Leader Xu Geng; he simply does not have the guts to kill my daughter, nor does he have any reason to kill Di Yue and Qian Haoyan."

In the inner courtyard hall of the Mirror Moon Gang, Xie Jin said with a gloomy expression.

"Has Sect Leader Xu Geng not been found yet?" Captain Tang Jing asked.

"No." Xie Jin shook his head.

"Then he is likely dead as well. But I cannot figure out, what was Qian Haoyan doing at the Mirror Moon Gang?"

Captain Tang Jing frowned and said.

"I do not know. I asked everyone in the gang, and no one knows." Xie Jin shook his head again.

"Do you know how these Soul Transformation Protectors and Nascent Soul Disciples died?" Captain Tang Jing continued to ask.

"They died in the Forbidden Spirit Sea."

"Did Sect Leader Xu Geng assign them some mission?"

"It should be. However, it is strange; they did not go to sea at the same time. Every ten days, someone would go out to sea, but Sect Leader Xu Geng remained in Tianshui City the entire time and never left the city gates."

"Oh???"

Captain Tang Jing tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought. Soon, he sorted out his train of thought, and his eyes narrowed. "The most critical point in this is why Di Yue and Qian Haoyan would die at the Mirror Moon Gang; they must have had some objective involving Sect Leader Xu Geng."

"Let us try to deduce this: Di Yue and Qian Haoyan wanted to deal with a certain person, but they knew their own strength was insufficient, so they sought out the Mirror Moon Gang. However, the Mirror Moon Gang misjudged this person's strength, and thus were killed in return time and time again."

"Finally, this person came to the Mirror Moon Gang, lured Di Yue and Qian Haoyan to the Mirror Moon Gang, and killed them together."

"Brother Xie, do you think this is possible?"

"Uh..." Xie Jin looked stunned; he really wanted to ask Captain Tang Jing how he came up with that.

"Let's go. We will go to the Law Enforcement Hall together. I want to see exactly what kind of person could easily kill Sect Leader Xu Geng without making a sound."

Sect Leader Xu Geng was a long-renowned Soul Transformation Perfection Cultivator; for someone to be able to kill him without causing any disturbance, only a Void Refining expert could likely do it.

And there were only so many Void Refining Cultivators in Tianshui City; by using elimination, one might even be able to figure it out.

Of course, this person might have hidden their cultivation; otherwise, Sect Leader Xu Geng would not have sent people to kill this person.
