Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

As soon as the news spread, several officers within the Lianhai Self-Defense Army began to discuss it excitedly.

Lin Mo took out anesthetic gas bombs and a full set of biochemical protective equipment from his spatial storage.

He first connected the gas bomb to the remote release device, then put on a protective suit, zipped it up, and put on a mask.

Once everything was ready, I sat in a chair with my back to the closed laboratory door and waited quietly.

"If you dare mess with me, don't blame me for relying on you to improve my strength!"

After waiting for several hours, a faint metallic clanging sound finally came from the doorway.

That was the sound of the laboratory door lock being shattered by internal force.

Then the door was pushed open silently, and a dark figure slipped in without a sound.

Lin Mo took in all of this by the reflection of a smooth metal panel in front of him.

He didn't turn around, but instead reached out and pressed the remote control switch to release the poison gas, then shouted loudly in an almost manic, excited tone:

"After the time it takes to drink one more cup of tea, the elixir will be ready!"

"Eat this, and I, Daoist Master, can step into the peak of the Innate Realm in one step! Hehehe!"

In the darkness behind him, the shadowy figure paused for a moment before quickly disappearing behind a large piece of equipment, clearly intending to wait until the elixir was fully formed before making its move.

Lin Mo continued his performance in front of the air, muttering that there was only one last step left, and stirred a beaker next to him a few times with a clinking sound.

A moment later, a very faint thud came from the shadows behind me, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

He stopped what he was doing, listened carefully for a few moments, and confirmed that there was no more movement behind him.

Only after turning around to check and confirming that the other party was no longer moving did he retract the anesthetic gas into his spatial storage, stand up, and walk towards the other party.

The woman in black robes fell to her side on the ground, her lithe outfit perfectly outlining her agile figure.

Lin Mo reached out and pulled down the black cloth covering her face, revealing a pale yet delicate face. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Trying to fight me? You know nothing about the power of science!"

What good is being a master of innate talent? He can still be taken down in an instant!

After laughing, he immediately took action, taking out more than a dozen handcuffs from his spatial storage. He handcuffed Chi Linglong's hands behind her back, and her feet were also handcuffed together side by side. Several more handcuffs were used to cross-lock her wrists and ankles.

After confirming that she would have no chance of breaking free even if she regained consciousness, he picked her up and carried her to the basement.

The basement contained several specially built small dark rooms, with the walls reinforced with steel plates several centimeters thick. The heavy iron doors were as heavy as a bank vault, and the roof was fitted with windows that could remotely release poison gas.

He securely chained Chi Linglong's limbs to the wall with four thick iron chains, checked the handcuffs and chains repeatedly to ensure they were secure, and only after confirming that everything was in order did he breathe a long sigh of relief, lean against the opposite wall, and remove his protective mask.

Looking at the innate master locked to the wall, he slowly stepped forward with a smile on his lips.

"Awesome! No wonder he's a master of the Innate Realm. This is much faster than taking pills."

Lin Mo opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

His cultivation level soared to the first stage of the Acquired Realm!

"Should we kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, or keep the goose to lay them?"

Lin Mo, who had benefited from the deal, was caught in a dilemma.

Chi Linglong is now extremely weak. She has only absorbed a trace of internal energy left before she is completely finished.

Internal energy can be gradually restored. As long as there are medicinal herbs or enough time, absorbing it once every once in a while will give him an additional source of innate internal energy.

Copying to death is a one-off deal;

Keeping it is like having a long-term meal ticket.

"Forget it, let's keep her for now. She can't run away anyway."

To be honest, Lin Mo also felt a little reluctant.

Chi Linglong is also an exceptional beauty.

It's a waste that it died like that.

Having made up his mind, Lin Mo turned around and left the small dark room.

Upon reaching the door, Lin Mo instructed the Flying Tigers guards:

"Every day, the food they deliver is mixed with Ten-Fragrance Tendon-Softening Powder."

The iron chains were to prevent her from escaping, and the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder was to prevent her from recovering her internal strength. With these two safeguards, he was able to sleep soundly.

"Yes, sir!"

The Flying Tigers immediately accepted the order.

The imperial carriage slowly came to a stop outside the ancient city of Jiangnan. The Empress lifted the curtain and glanced at the mottled blue bricks on the city wall and the mighty river flowing in the distance.

The air in Jiangnan is filled with moisture and the fresh, slightly bitter scent of grass and trees, completely different from the dry, biting winds of the capital.

This will be the starting point for her to revitalize the Great Xia.

The accompanying officials quickly took up their respective duties in the temporarily converted imperial palace.

The Minister of Revenue, who had moved south, along with several accountants who had fled from the capital, began to re-register the household registrations and land records of various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Vice Minister of War was busy piecing together a new force from the defeated army and the local garrison troops in Jiangnan.

The Empress spent her days in her temporary imperial study reviewing memorials, meeting with local gentry and officials from Jiangnan, and listening to reports on the resumption of production in various prefectures and counties.

Everything was progressing as she had envisioned, but her brow never truly relaxed.

Chi Linglong never returned.

At first, she thought Linglong was delayed on the road. After all, the journey from Lianhai to Jiangnan was not short. Perhaps Lin Mo was hiding well, and Linglong would need a few more days to find an opportunity to make a move.

Whenever the female official presented the reports compiled from various regions, the Empress would subconsciously ask, "Is there any news about the Red Guards?" The female official would always bow her head and answer, "No, not yet."

After a full two weeks had passed and there was still no news of Chi Linglong, the Empress's last glimmer of hope was finally extinguished.

She leaned back on the imperial chair, closed her eyes for a long time, then opened them and spoke softly to the female official standing beside her.

"Send a message to Emei, telling Headmaster Zhou that Chi Linglong has gone missing in Lianhai County and her fate is unknown."

"I beg the Emei Sect to investigate and find out for me whether the person is dead or alive."
