In China,

when there was nothing major going on in Harbour City, Lin Jiang's life was simple and fulfilling. He spent about ten hours practicing every day, mainly at night.

In the morning, he mainly dealt with some internal and external affairs, or met with some people. The time was uncertain, sometimes taking a few hours, sometimes not even an hour.

The rest of the time was freer, and he used it to practice some secret magic skills, or study the talisman technique. Lin Jiang's talisman technique was still the best in China, and in a sense, the best in the human race.

In his spare time, he would sometimes enjoy some delicious food, or take a walk with Cao Ying, chat, or visit Lin Ying and the others. In short, sleeping was excluded from the 24 hours of the day. Life was simple, but fulfilling, and there was no moment of idleness.

One day, Lin Jiang accompanied Cao Ying for a walk in the manor. The manor of thousands of acres had a very beautiful garden, which was carefully designed by top gardeners, and different flowers bloomed all year round.

"Xiaoying, where is your real body? I haven't found it for a long time."

Lin Jiang's words made Cao Ying suddenly nervous.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Am I not here?"

"The stand-in is very real, even the temperature of your hand is in line with the human body's change standards, but the stand-in is not the real body after all, and many things cannot be changed. Tell me, where are you?"

Lin Jiang said while holding Cao Ying's hand. The stand-in can be indistinguishable from the real thing, which is true for most people, but it cannot be hidden from the closest people. There are many things that cannot be replaced by technology, such as the smell of the body, the micro-expressions and eyes when speaking.

Lin Jiang has discovered it for several days. He has secretly sent people to look for it, but he can't find where Cao Ying is hiding.

"No, uncle, it's too late. I've already gone into seclusion."

"You can stop."

"No, I'm in seclusion. I can't stop, otherwise I will be seriously injured."

"I don't need you to take risks like this."

"This is my own choice, uncle. Hundreds of years are too long. Who knows what will happen in this period. Li Qing is also uncontrollable, and the same goes for the people under his command. I don't trust them, so I'm the only one who can do it."

"I've been preparing for a long time, and you've disrupted my plans like this."

"Uncle, there's no point in saying more, it's too late."

"You've made me not know how to treat you in the future."

"To love someone is to sacrifice for them without asking for anything in return. Just treat me as a bootlicker,"

Cao Ying said with pretended ease, but the joke was cold.

"Don't say such things. There is no such thing as a licking dog. It's nothing more than loving deeply. You are a pure love warrior."

"Hehe, I like to hear this. Say more in the future."

"Come back, please?"

"Soon, in a few years at most,"

Cao Ying said. Lin Jiang sighed. He knew it was not so easy to convince Cao Ying. The will of the Hedao Patriarch was not so easy to change.

··········· Chen Jinfa and his men

from Penglaizhou

stood on the beach of a small island. Behind them was a five-star hotel. This island also belonged to the Bahuang Group. It was only used for senior executives to vacation. It was one of the benefits of senior executives.

"Sir, this is the scene of the last missing person's crime. It should be six days since now. The missing person should have been sunbathing before he disappeared. He is from Qingnan Province, China. It is a habit there. He has no clothes on and is lying on a beach chair. The surveillance camera can't capture him. I..."

A subordinate reported the situation to Chen Jinfa. This case was also the fundamental reason why Chen Jinfa was alarmed. Behind it was the high-end hotel where the executives of the Bahuang Group took vacation. It was heavily guarded and should be a very safe place. However, they have already lost people in such a place, which made the senior executives uneasy.

"I know, let's get ready,"

Chen Jinfa nodded and said, and then all the subordinates withdrew.

Chen Jinfa took out a stack of talismans and waved them. The talismans floated in the wind and then fell around. With the spiritual power, the talismans burst into light. The light connected with each other and formed a complex talisman array. Chen Jinfa

sat cross-legged in it. He made a set of complex hand gestures and then forced out a stream of blood. As the blood burned, a light mirror appeared in the talisman array. Time changed in the light mirror, and soon a naked man was seen lying on a beach chair, closing his eyes and enjoying a sunbath.

Not far from him were waves, which kept pushing in, until a stream of blood appeared in the waves and covered the sunbathing man at a very fast speed, and then entered the sea with the sea water. The whole process took less than a second. The man showed no signs of struggle, and even did not scream. Only the bare beach chair was left dangling there.

"Puff"

took back the secret method, and Chen Jinfa spit out a mouthful of blood. His men immediately came up and stuffed several pills into Chen Jinfa's mouth. Chen Jinfa quickly refined them.

Using drugs to suppress the backlash from the magical power, Chen Jinfa said, "The murderer seems to have practiced the Blood Demonic Art, but not quite. Contact the headquarters to investigate whether there are similar evil methods, as well as the circulation of various evil methods, and whether there are any in Penglai Island."

"Yes, sir."

"Send me back to the hotel."

After Chen Jinfa finished speaking, he was sent to the hotel nearby by his subordinates, and Chen Jinfa began to heal his wounds.

The magical power he just used was a very advanced magical power. Even if it was the transformation of the spirit and the return to the void, very few people could practice it successfully. He just practiced it by coincidence.

This magical power can trace back time in a certain area, and the longest time is seven days. Maybe he can delay it when his cultivation level increases in the future. Now it is at most seven days.

Every time he uses it, he has to pay a great price, so he will not use it easily. This time is more special, because it is time for him to be promoted again, his competitors are very strong, and the case is taken very seriously by the superiors, otherwise he would not do it.

At the same time, in Wanghai City, in the secret base of Lu Lu, he got the basic information of Chen Jinfa. Looking at the basic information, Lu Xuan muttered to himself, "I met a ruthless person."

He really knew that Chen Jinfa was a ruthless person. There was no one who climbed up from the bottom who was not ruthless, not to mention that Chen Jinfa's resume was terrible. He could still be trusted by the Chinese high-level officials after turning from evil to righteousness.

"Those damn bastards"

Lu Xuan immediately cursed again, cursing the high-level officials of the Eight Desolation Group who were killed by him. Why did he curse them? Because these people threatened Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan needed a lot of instruments and equipment to clone people before, and he got them from these high-level officials. At first, they didn't know what they were for, but later they knew and threatened him. Lu Xuan would naturally not be threatened so easily, but the repeated blackmail made Lu Xuan want to kill them, and finally used Lu Xuan No. 2 to kill them.

He had done it very well, but people were missing, and they had to be investigated. With such a fierce man coming, Lu Xuan felt that he was a little bit in danger.

"If it doesn't work, I have to abandon Lu Xuan No. 2. It's a pity. I have to abandon it without providing any convenience to me. I'm losing a lot."

Lu Xuan shook his head. He had to make up his mind. While Chen Jinfa hadn't found sufficient evidence and hadn't found him, he would push Lu Xuan No. 2 out as a scapegoat.

This made him feel very sorry, because Lu Xuan No. 2 hadn't brought him much benefit. When he thought of this, he felt upset again and cursed at the people of the Eight Desolations Group.

"After the integration of Dao, maybe I won't be afraid of anything."

An idea came to Lu Xuan's mind. Maybe, after the integration of Dao, he won't be afraid of anything. At that time, he can just leave. With the strength of the integration of Dao, there is no place that he can't go. In the current world, the highest combat power seems to be the integration of Dao, so he is also top-level.
