Artifact Refining Sect, deep within Mo Garden.
Mo Lin sat cross-legged atop a bluestone, his aura perfectly rounded and restrained, as though he had merged with heaven and earth. More than half a month had passed since he returned with Zi Yan and Little Nine.
Over the past half month, he had not rushed into seclusion. Instead, he had accompanied Zi Yan, Cai Lin, Yun Yun, and the other women, taking his daughter Xi'er to scenic places throughout the Central Continent to relax and enjoy this rare peace.
Yet beneath this peace, he had not been idle. Mo Lin's Soul Power had long spread silently like an invisible spiderweb across an immensely vast region. He had been deducing, sensing, and searching—for another important hideout of the Soul Hall, concealed like rats: the Earth Hall!
That day, Mo Lin was holding his adorable daughter as he watched her toddle across the grass. Zi Yan, Cai Lin, and the other women looked on with smiles, creating a warm and tender scene. Suddenly, Mo Lin's brow lifted almost imperceptibly, and a gleam of understanding flashed through his eyes.
"Found it..." he murmured, a cold curve forming at the corner of his lips.
"Husband, what is it?" Zi Yan was the first to notice something unusual and asked.
Mo Lin handed his giggling daughter to Yun Yun beside him, then slowly rose to his feet. Looking toward the distant southwestern horizon, he spoke calmly, though an unquestionable killing intent laced his voice. "I have calculated the location of the Soul Hall's Earth Hall. It is time to collect some interest."
Upon hearing this, a murderous glint immediately surfaced on Cai Lin's cold, beautiful face. "This time, I am going with you!"
Zi Yan immediately added, "Me too!"
Mo Lin looked at them and nodded.
