CHAPTER 505: CHAPTER 391: THE PATH AHEAD AND INSPECTION_3

A young man waiting for the traffic light heard the sound of someone cutting through the air and, looking up, saw a figure darting out as swiftly as lightning.

"Is there a master? That’s speeding, isn’t it?"

He raised his cell phone wanting to take a photo to report the other person but discovered that his phone had malfunctioned somehow and could not capture the picture.

...

3:29 PM

Xia Yuying hurried along, finally reaching the cemetery.

Only to discover that there was no one in front of the tombstone.

"Have they already left?"

A strong sense of loss surged from Xia Yuying’s heart, and at that moment, she felt as though she had lost something incredibly important and couldn’t help regretting her blunt refusal the day before.

Reluctantly wandering around the cemetery a few more times, Xia Yuying still tried to find the mysterious man.

Just as she was feeling utterly disheartened, a voice behind her said, "You made quite the entrance, I just helped you erase some of the effects."

Xia Yuying turned around with a look of surprise and, upon seeing Lin Xing, became somewhat nervous. "Yesterday..."

"Oh, you’ve already mastered the power of the second legacy, haven’t you?"

Lin Xing assessed Xia Yuying and casually said, "Don’t thank me; it’s mainly your own effort and accumulation that got you this far."

Xia Yuying only felt that the man was being modest. She hadn’t put in any effort or accumulation to overnight leap an entire realm, an event so extraordinary and miraculous, all because of the man before her.

In her eyes, Lin Xing at this moment was akin to a god-like existence.

After all, even among the fabled four Immortal Emperors, none were said to have enabled someone to jump from the first to the second legacy overnight.

Thinking about what he said yesterday, Xia Yuying asked somewhat nervously, "What do you need me to do?"

Lin Xing smiled faintly and said, "The Evil-cutting Sect possesses many methods for tracking, pursuing, and capturing evil entities."

"I want you to capture these evil entities for me and place them inside the spirit cave in East Sea City."

"Then seal them with an array..."

Listening to Lin Xing speaking fluently about the various skills, improvements, and legacies of the Evil-cutting Sect, Xia Yuying felt even more that he was unfathomable.

"Right, open your phone."

When Xia Yuying did as told, she discovered someone had added her as a friend.

Lin Xing explained, "This person who added you is Xiao Zhao; she will assist you in the shadows, helping you gather information on evil entities and taking care of some logistics and aftermath work."

"I know that the Taoist legacy of your Evil-cutting Sect requires capturing evil entities to complete the transformation of skills."

"Along this journey, you can also accomplish the skill transformation, and as soon as you’re ready, come find me. I will assist you with the training of your transformed skills and their ascension..."

Hearing this, Xia Yuying couldn’t help but get excited again, "With this, won’t I quickly break through to the third legacy?"

"I might also become one of those major figures seen in the news, dominating far and wide, reigning supreme throughout the world..."

Moments later, with an excited heart, Xia Yuying vacated her house in Nanhai City.

She embarked on the path of capturing evil entities under the guidance—or rather, surveillance—of Zhao Wanxi, luggage in tow.

Watching the gradually receding cityscapes, Xia Yuying felt as though she had returned to the past, to a time when her heart was full of hope and she felt that the road ahead held boundless possibilities.

Several days later.

Inside the Quantum Intelligence Research Institute.

Mo Xingye was working just like any other day, but thoughts of Lin Xing, Duan Feixia, and Ma Hong at home occasionally crossed his mind.

"The number of people... it’s only increasing, making it hard for me to sleep well when I go home."

"Maybe I’ll just sleep in the office today."

It was then that Mo Xingye heard some colleagues whispering nearby, seemingly about a VIP coming to inspect the institute today.

However, they didn’t know who exactly it was, and after some guesses, they dispersed to continue their work.

By noon, Mo Xingye had just finished eating when someone grabbed him to go outside.

"Let’s go, Old Mo, the director wants us to go to the hall to welcome the guest."

Mo Xingye couldn’t help but say, "What guest am I welcoming?"

"The director specifically asked for you," his colleague replied. "This visitor is said to be a very important figure, so don’t lose your temper this time."

Reluctantly, Mo Xingye was dragged to the main gateway where he found the director and other key institute leaders nearly all present; even the local governance officials seemed to have caught wind of something and gathered.

Soon after, a fleet of luxury cars drove into the institute.

Watching a swarm of security personnel begin to secure the area, Mo Xingye grew increasingly curious, "Who could be so important?"

The next moment, several figures stepped out of the central limousine.

Upon seeing one of them, Mo Xingye’s pupils dilated momentarily.

"Is that..."

A pair of amber eyes appeared on a handsome face; the tall figure exuded infinite strength, and every move emitted an aura of a powerful person, pressing down harshly on everyone present, like a king of beasts walking among cats and dogs.

"The President of New Country?"

Mo Xingye had seen in the news that the President of New Country was to visit East Sea City, but he had not expected him to come for an inspection at the Quantum Research Institute.

At that moment, the leaders at the scene respectfully approached him as if receiving a superior’s comfort, warmly welcoming the President’s arrival.

Watching the President of New Country, Mo Xingye felt he seemed more like the owner of the place than those receiving him.

But Mo Xingye could understand; the President of New Country was already an imposing figure, and having recently forced the Great Bright Buddha into secluded meditation, his renown had spread far and wide.

Even those who were prideful would naturally bow their heads in the presence of such a powerful person who could crush them at any moment.

Especially under the oppressive aura of the other, there was a natural fear of not daring to defy him, a kind of primal terror.

Thinking of Lin Xing back home, Mo Xingye slightly lowered his head, deciding to remain inconspicuous and avoid any interactions with this one of the world’s top powers.

Yet, as the group passed by Mo Xingye, they suddenly all stopped.

The President turned his head and said, "This must be Mo Xingye, right?"

The director hurriedly spoke, "Yes, Dr. Mo Xingye has been healing long-term illnesses; over the years, he has treated many patients in our institute and has done extensive research on mental health and exposure to evil spirits."

The President smiled slightly, but in Mo Xingye’s eyes, it seemed like a wild beast baring its fangs.

"Then, let Dr. Mo introduce me to the work of your research institute."
