Lin Huaijin had to admit that when he saw Mu Fusheng standing in front of him and handing him a Storage Ring containing evidence of the Mu family's crimes, he was deeply moved.
He was completely stunned.
With his exceptional composure, the old man quickly recovered, looking at Ye Li with slight surprise, his voice sharp and forceful:
"I heard from those remnants of the Mu family that Mu Fusheng was already..."
"He was indeed killed," Ye Li said softly, confirming the other party's statement.
"And this evidence..."
Lin Huaijin glanced at the smiling Mu Fusheng beside him, then at the Storage Treasure Tool in his hand, the evidence of which was irrefutable. He was practically speechless with astonishment in his eyes.
"Is it enough to kill your whole family?"
Ye Li didn't reply, but instead asked another question.
He's quite concerned about this matter now, since avoiding Trouble for others has always been his style, and it would be best if things could be resolved smoothly.
"... That's enough."
After carefully examining the evidence of crimes within the Treasured Artifacts, the old man's voice became frighteningly hoarse.
"That's fine then." Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly, before casually offering an explanation:
"A petty trick to capture souls; Mu Fusheng is indeed dead."
Tricks?
Are there any underhanded methods in the world for capturing the souls of the dead?
Within Lin Huaijin's knowledge, there were indeed cultivators in the Great Sheng region capable of such soul-binding techniques—it was actually a method for refining a martial artist's Spiritual Body, known as the Ghost Path.
Even the most well-known Ghost Dao Venerable would probably be unable to make the souls he holds as lively as they were in life, let alone retain their full strength.
Lin Huaijin could even feel a faint pressure emanating from Mu Fusheng at this moment.
This is clearly even more powerful than the Family Head he knew during his lifetime!
This can't be considered a petty trick!
Lin Huaijin felt countless question marks popping up on his forehead, and his gaze towards Ye Li gradually became strange.
He really wanted to tell the other person.
If that venerable one from the [Beimang Cui Family] knew that you possessed such extraordinary ghostly abilities, he would probably risk his life to obtain this method from you!
The old man took a deep breath, and after a moment he slowly said:
"In the future, try not to reveal this skill to outsiders unless absolutely necessary."
"Is there something you're worried about?" Ye Li glanced at him.
He was naturally well aware of the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
The reason I'm asking this question is simply to gather some information.
He still knows too little about Dasheng.
"..."
After a brief moment of hesitation, Lin Huaijin decided to speak the truth and said in a deep voice:
"In the Southern Cloud Continent of the Great Sheng Dynasty, there is a top-tier family called the [Beimang Cui Family]. This family is renowned throughout the continent for its mastery of the Ghost Path. Legend has it that the Family Head possesses cultivation reaching the Second Immortal Gate of immortality, far surpassing the Taicang Mu Family."
"Although Longtan and that place are far apart, you have a long future ahead of you, so you should still pay close attention if necessary."
"Understood." Ye Li nodded slightly, silently memorizing the name.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The Second Immortal Gate was indeed a somewhat unfamiliar realm.
Judging from the Cultivation Method left behind by the Skeletal Elder, the so-called Three Realms of Immortal Gate refer to the three major realms of Dao Evolution, Universe Birth, and Immortality.
After immortality comes the True Spirit.
That was the Imperial Preceptor of Great Sheng of the Shangqing Palace, and also the only immortal in the entire dynasty.
From this, it seems that the strength of Dasheng is indeed much higher than that of Shenzhou. There is even a need to hide cards. Ye Li couldn't help but think about his future.
Even those Soul Control risk being killed.
What should I do when I try to unleash the [True Self Dharma Body] in the future?
Given that one's own Dharma body is already millions of feet tall, it would be extremely difficult to conceal one's power and influence.
Furthermore, in terms of sheer power, the [True Self Dharma Body] is arguably one of the most overpowered trump cards in my possession...
The only option is to improve one's cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Once I've reached the Second Immortal Gate, perhaps I can make a special trip to visit the [Cui Family Beimang] in Nanyunzhou.
"You don't need to worry too much, I was just mentioning it casually."
Lin Huaijin looked at the silent Boy in Black, assuming he was somewhat taken aback by the news, so he smiled and comforted him:
"These powerful families still have some sense of shame, and they wouldn't dare to openly lay a hand on us, the officials of the Great Sheng Dynasty."
"I see..."
"That's it. Your progress has been too rapid. You can relax a bit."
Lin Huaijin walked slowly to Ye Li's side, gently patted his shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and then said again:
"Once you advance to the Dao Evolution Realm, which is the first step into the [Three Tiers of Knocking Heaven], I will introduce you to a distinguished person from the capital of the Great Sheng Capital City."
Whether you can have a better future then depends on yourself.
"Who is this important person? Can you tell me in advance?" Ye Li asked.
"You seem quite impatient." Lin Huaijin couldn't help but smile.
As young talents from China, they found it difficult to remain calm in the face of such news.
If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them.
Considering the current relationship between the two parties, the old man hesitated for a moment before speaking in an extremely soft voice:
"The scope of influential figures in the capital of Capital City is perhaps a bit too broad. After all, it is the Capital, where powerful and deeply entrenched forces abound."
"But if you were to say it's a noble person from the Great Sheng Imperial City, given your character, you should be able to guess it."
"Dasheng is a large enterprise, there's no need to rush."
Royal Family?
Ye Li's heart stirred slightly, and related guesses surfaced in his mind.
If you're only at the Dao Evolution Realm, there's really no need to rush.
"I see."
"Very good."
Seeing his thoughtful expression, Lin Huaijin's smile deepened, and then he asked casually:
"You haven't grasped the [Great Dao Resonance Method] yet, have you? I'll select one and send someone to your residence later."
"Go back and get some rest now."
The old man rose and walked into the distance, his words carrying a clear sense of ease.
"As we agreed earlier, the finishing touches here will be left to me."
