Xiao Yuan had been eagerly waiting ever since he sent his men out that morning. However, his face darkened when he realized that there were no results even after waiting for an entire day.
Fearing that something might have happened, he hurriedly went to look for his master, Mo Qi.
"Master, those people have been chasing after him for an entire day, but there's still no news. I'm afraid that something might have happened!" Xiao Yuan hurriedly said.
"What? It's already been a day, and no one has returned?" Mo Qi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Xiao Yuan's words.
He was naturally worried that three level-5 warriors had yet to return after going out to deal with someone who wasn't even a level-4 warrior.
"Master, what should we do?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"How about this." Mo Qi frowned and said, "Bring some men to search in the eastern mountain range. I want to see him if he's dead or if he's alive!"
As he spoke, Mo Qi immediately led over thirty people towards the eastern mountain range. Xiao Yuan was naturally amongst them.
Not long after, they arrived at the dense forest where Lin Long and the others encountered him.
"They should have attacked Lin Li here. If something happened, there should be clues inside." As he spoke, Mo Hen immediately ordered his subordinates, "Carefully search this dense forest, do not miss a single corner!"
The group of people began to search the dense forest carefully. After spending half a day, they searched the entire dense forest once, but what made their expressions turn ugly was that they couldn't find any clues at all.
They didn't know that Lin Long had already destroyed the clues inside.
With Lin Long's methods and experience, how could they have seen anything?
"Master, I'm afraid that something happened. They continued to chase after him," Xiao Yuan, who was beside Mo Qi, couldn't help but say.
"That should be the case." Mo Qi nodded and immediately led his subordinates to continue searching.
Just like that, the group spent a day and a half searching all the way to the eastern mountain range, but they couldn't find any clues at all.
Since there weren't any clues along the way, it was very likely that Lin Li had entered the eastern mountain range. Thus, Mo Qi immediately ordered his subordinates to search the periphery of the eastern mountain range.
The search lasted for about two days, but they couldn't find any trace of Lin Long.
Unwilling to give up, Mo Qi ventured deeper into the eastern mountain range. Another two days passed, but he still couldn't find anything. He even lost a few men because of the danger.
Helpless, he could only lead these people out of the Eastern Mountain Range.
"If they met with an accident, then Lin Li should have returned to Mo Shi City. Master, let's go back to Mo Shi City to take a look," someone suggested the moment they left Mo Shi City.
Mo Hen originally had this thought, so he immediately brought his men back to Mo Shi City. As soon as they arrived, he immediately brought a few people and aggressively charged towards Xie Zhe's courtyard.
"May I know what Elder Mo Hen wants?" The disciples guarding Xie Zhe's courtyard couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw the murderous look on Mo Hen's face.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Mo Qing asked angrily, "Is your master, Elder Xie Zhe, here?"
"Master is here," the disciple at the door answered honestly.
"Then take me to him immediately," Mo Qi said coldly.
"Elder Mo Hen, please follow me." One of Xie Zhe's disciples hurriedly led him in.
Mo Hen and the others followed closely behind him. Soon, they were brought into the hall.
"Elder Mo Hen, please wait here for a moment. Master will be here soon." The disciple said as he poured tea.
Not long after, Xie Zhe, who had received the news, rushed over.
"Elder Mo Hen, may I know what brings you here?" After seeing Mo Hen, Xie Zhe smiled.
Xie Zhe's relationship with Mo Hen was mediocre, so when he saw Mo Hen looking for him and heard from his disciple that Mo Hen seemed very angry, he was naturally puzzled.
"It's like this, a few of my disciples have gone missing. I suspect that it has something to do with your disciple, Lin Li, so I came to ask about it!" Mo Hen said coldly.
"The disappearance of your disciples has something to do with my disciple, Xie Zhe. That's impossible, right?" Xie Zhe couldn't help but ask.
In his opinion, Lin Long only had the strength of a third rank martialist. How could he deal with Mo Hen's disciples?
"Elder Xie, can you call him over for a confrontation?" Mo Hen asked with a frown.
"Of course." Xie Zhe nodded his head and immediately called Lin Long over.
Soon, a disciple rushed into Lin Long's room and said to him, "Junior Lin, Elder Mo Hen has brought a few people with an unfriendly expression to look for you. He is currently in the hall with Master. Master wants you to go over immediately."
Tsk tsk, he actually came to Lin Long personally. Hearing this, Lin Long couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, he was a little surprised that Mo Hen came personally.
However, he wasn't worried about what would happen, so he directly followed the disciple to the hall.
After entering the hall, he respectfully said, "Greetings, Master. Greetings, Elder Mo Hen."
"Xie Zhe, a few of my disciples went missing in the dense forest east of Mo Shi City a few days ago. I heard that you had a conflict with them at that time. So, is their disappearance related to you?" Mo Hen asked coldly as he looked at Lin Long.
"Elder Mo Hen, I did go to the dense forest a few days ago, but I didn't see any of your disciples. Where did you get this information from?" Lin Long had a doubtful look on his face.
The other party didn't have any evidence at all. At most, someone saw him go out at that time, so he wasn't worried at all.
"You still want to quibble? Tell me, is their disappearance related to you?" With that, Mo Hen slammed his palm on the table next to him with an aggressive look.
"Elder Mo Hen, I know that you are very anxious about the disappearance of your disciples. However, I really didn't see them, so I can't help you even if I wanted to," Lin Long said calmly.
"Elder Mo Hen, you have to have evidence for such matters. If you don't have evidence, you are framing me. If that's the case, I will go to the Enforcement Elder and complain about you!" Xie Zhe, who was at the side, also spoke up for Lin Long.
Seeing that Lin Long was speaking righteously, and that Lin Long was his disciple, he naturally stood on Lin Long's side.
"As for evidence, I don't have it for now. However, I will find it. When that time comes, I hope that you can still be as calm as you are now!" With that said, Mo Hen looked at his people and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he directly walked out.
The reason why he came was actually to confirm whether Lin Long was safe and sound. After that, he wanted to see if he could get any clues from Lin Long's words and expression.
As for the framing and threats, it was just along the way. It would be better if Lin Long was afraid to confess. However, it was another matter if he was afraid.
Unfortunately, Lin Long's performance was watertight, and Mo Hen couldn't find any flaws.
However, since Lin Long was safe and sound, Mo Hen naturally felt that the disappearance of his subordinates had something to do with Lin Long.
"Master, it must have something to do with Lin Li!" Xiao Yuan hurriedly said as he was afraid that Mo Hen would suspect someone else.
"Don't worry, Master will not think that it was done by someone else," Mo Hen said straightforwardly, putting Xiao Yuan at ease.
"Master, what should we do next?" Xiao Yuan asked hurriedly.
"It is impossible for Lin Li to kill three level-5 warriors alone. Hence, someone must be helping Lin Li. Who do you think is the culprit?" Mo Hen asked as he looked at Xiao Yuan.
"Could it be that his master, Xie Zhe, is helping him?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask when he recalled that Xie Zhe had spoken up for Lin Long.
"It's not him." Mo Hen shook his head.
"Why?" Xiao Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Although I don't have a good relationship with Xie Zhe, I know what kind of person he is. If he knew it was me who sent them, he wouldn't have just killed them. He would have definitely reported it to the family head," Mo Hen said.
"If it's not Xie Zhe, who else could it be?" Someone beside Mo Hen asked doubtfully.
"I heard from Mo Jian that his arm was chopped off because Lin Li hired an assassin organization to deal with him. Could it be that Lin Li has been hiring an assassin organization to protect him in the dark?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask when he recalled Mo Jian's words.
"Although an assassin organization would do that to protect someone, they would have to pay a huge price. How could Lin Li be so rich?" Another person beside Mo Hen said.
"Although it's impossible, we have to ask the assassin organization no matter what," Mo Hen said with a frown.
"Master, do you know anyone from the assassin organization?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I do. Their boss is an elder who has a good relationship with me," Mo Hen said.
"That's great," Xiao Yuan said happily.
Then, the group of people immediately changed their direction and walked towards the underground casino.
Soon, they arrived outside the underground casino. However, Mo Hen didn't let so many people follow him in, and only brought Xiao Yuan.
Mo Hen quickly found a person from the assassin organization.
"I am Mo Hen, an elder of the Mo Family. I am here to find the boss of your assassin organization. I hope you can bring me to see him!" Mo Hen said without beating around the bush.
As he spoke, he took out the waist token that represented his identity.
It really was Elder Mo Hen. Once he took a closer look at the waist token, the person from the assassin organization was shocked.
"Elder Mo Hen, please wait for a moment. I will go and ask the boss," the person from the assassin organization immediately said.
"Okay, but don't take too long. I don't have the patience," Mo Hen said calmly.
"Okay." After saying that, the person from the assassin organization quickly went to the secret room to find Mo Qiu.
"Boss, Elder Mo Hen has come to the underground casino. He wants to see you!" Once he saw Mo Qiu, he immediately said.
Mo Qiu thought to himself. "Bring him here!"
He naturally knew why Mo Qiu was looking for him.
Soon, Mo Hen was brought to the secret room.
As for Xiao Yuan, he was still at the casino. How could the person from the assassin organization let him come along?
"Elder Mo Qiu, let me ask you. Are you secretly helping that Lin Li?" Mo Qiu asked with a sullen expression.
