The man in the black robe stepped into the hall and let out a sinister smile, "Elder Bai, your Bai family is quite bold, actually using living people for experiments to practice Sorcery."

"How did you find out?" Bai Tiancheng's complexion turned cold, with black energy spreading in his palm.

"Oh, oh, oh! Thinking of killing me? I'm afraid you're still lacking a bit." As soon as the words fell, a cold aura emanated from the man in the black robe.

Bai Tiancheng felt a shiver throughout his body, his face suddenly turning ugly.

"You, you are..."

"Alright, now can we have a proper chat?" The man in the black robe said with a faint smile, taking a seat in the chair beside him.

"What exactly do you want?" Bai Tiancheng asked, his face showing a hint of apprehension as he stared at the man in the black robe.

"I just said I'm here to help you. It's quite unique, wanting to enhance your power with Sorcery, but if you help me with one thing, then I will give you a perfect formula that will assure you in breaking through to the Nascent Soul within half a year," said the man in the black robe with a faint smile.

"What did you say?" Bai Tiancheng's complexion changed abruptly.

In recent years, his cultivation had not been able to advance at all, causing him great anguish, which is why he had turned to Demon Art.

But now this mysterious man in the black robe was offering him the conditions for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul in half a year, a temptation almost too great.

If he could breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, then he wouldn't have to wait for Bai Ling to rise in a few years, and he could even elevate the Bai family to be one of the four great families.

"How about it?" the man in the black robe said coldly.

"State your conditions," Bai Tiancheng said, his eyes burning with eagerness as he gazed at the man in the black robe.

"Kill Lin Chen." The man in the black robe said with a faint smile.

Lin Chen again? Recently, Bai Ling had sent back a message, asking the Bai family to find an opportunity to kill Lin Chen, and now this man in the black robe also wanted Lin Chen dead.

"Alright, but that Lin Chen is with the Dragon Group, so killing him is somewhat troublesome," Bai Tiancheng voiced his concern.

The man in the black robe sneered, "Lin Chen killed members of your Bai family on Five Spirits Mountain. Killing him would be justified. Once Lin Chen is dead, the Dragon Group won't be too entangled over it."

"Alright, but Lin Chen is very cunning, and with that old man from the Dragon Group protecting him, it's going to be hard to kill him!" Bai Tiancheng frowned.

"Lin Chen has a fatal weakness, which is his loyalty. I heard that he has a woman named Xue Ying in DY. Capture her and threaten him with her, killing him will be very simple." The man in the black robe said with a faint smile.

"Good idea." Bai Tiancheng's eyes lit up with excitement on his face.

Once Lin Chen was killed, it would not only settle matters with Bai Ling, but it would also help him break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. It would indeed serve two purposes at once.

A cold glint surged in the eyes of the man in the black robe, "Lin Chen, with the Zhou family and the Bai family joining forces against you, I really want to see how you will handle this."

At that moment, in a police car, Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on the police uniform Qin Mengfan wore.

"Mengfan, didn't anyone tell you that your police uniform is a bit small?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Small? I think it fits very well!" Qin Mengfan was taken aback.

Lin Chen put on an aggrieved face, "Actually, I was kindly reminding you, look, it's already coming undone."

Qin Mengfan's cheeks turned red, and she quickly re-buttoned her uniform, "If you spout any more nonsense, believe it or not, I'll kick you out of the car."

"Hehe, even if you don't kick me out, we have to get off now; we've arrived," Lin Chen said, pointing toward the bar by the roadside.

Just as Qin Mengfan was about to get out of the car, Lin Chen smiled, "If you go in there wearing that uniform, I bet we won't find the murderer, as they'll all run away the moment they see you."

"Then you go first. I'll change into some regular clothes," Qin Mengfan said, taking a set of clothes from the back seat.

"Alright!" Lin Chen said with a smile as he got out of the car.

"No peeking," Qin Mengfan warned Lin Chen before closing the window.

Watching Lin Chen whistle nonchalantly a short distance away, Qin Mengfan finally felt at ease enough to take off her clothes.

While the car was opaque from the outside, it couldn't block Lin Chen's X-ray vision.

"Hmm, indeed they've grown bigger, almost rivaling Su Rui's,"

Thinking of Su Rui, Lin Chen felt even more guilt. If he had driven her home, this wouldn't have happened.

Su Rui, you must hold on, wait for me to save you!

Although Lin Chen was anxious, he was powerless without any clues.

After a while, Qin Mengfan descended from the car, slowly stepping out in deep black high heels.

Her seductive face, shoulder-length jet-black hair, ethereally beautiful white dress, and her perfectly curved figure instantly drove the young people around her wild.

Getting out of the car, Qin Mengfan looked around but saw no trace of Lin Chen: "Where has that kid run off to?"

Just as Qin Mengfan was looking around, a young man walked over to her.

At that moment, the young man approached Qin Mengfan with a beaming smile: "Hey, beautiful, how about joining me at the bar for some fun?"

"If you don't want to die, get lost," said Qin Mengfan with an icy tone.

"Ha, I love feisty little peppers like you," he laughed.

Not only did the young man not leave, but he leered at her chest, his lecherous gaze somehow familiar.

"Are you Lin Chen?" Qin Mengfan asked in surprise.

Lin Chen nodded: "Haha, what do you think, my disguise technique isn't bad, right?"

"Hmph, it's passable at best," said Qin Mengfan, still surprised but unwilling to concede.

"We're supposed to be a couple, shouldn't you be linking arms with me?" Lin Chen said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, who wants to be your couple," Qin Mengfan snorted.

Lin Chen smiled lightly: "If you want to crack the case, you better cooperate well. The person we're looking for is very cunning."

Qin Mengfan gritted her teeth, and reluctantly, to further the investigation, looped her arm through Lin Chen's.

Seeing Qin Mengfan hooking arms with Lin Chen, many young men attracted by her beauty looked on with envy and jealousy.

"Man, how can such a beauty be with a loser dressed in knockoffs?"

"Such a pity, a fresh flower stuck in cow dung,"

"Why can't I have the luck to meet such a beautiful woman?"

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chen and Qin Mengfan entered the bar.

Beneath the neon lights, watching the young people going wild on the dance floor, Qin Mengfan frowned.

With so many people and such dim lighting, how could they possibly find the person using just a mobile phone photo.

As the two settled at a booth, Lin Chen glanced around the crowd and suddenly said, "The target has arrived, I'll leave the rest to you."

With that, Lin Chen sashayed onto the dance floor.

No sooner had Lin Chen stood up than a young man, garbed in designer brands, took his place.
