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

"After beating the young one, it's time for the old one."

Lin Mo frowned.

Zhou Min is the leader of the Emei Sect. Her status is different from that of the unorthodox cultivators like the Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect. Killing her would be easy, but the Emei Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect with hundreds of years of history and profound foundation. Once those retired elders and their extensive network of connections throughout the martial world are stirred up, Lianhai County will never have peace again.

Moreover, Zhou Min herself is at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, which is much higher than Chi Linglong's early stage of the Innate Realm.

If the design fails and gets rejected instead, that would be troublesome.

After much thought, Lin Mo decided to try a different approach.

Since people came for Chi Linglong, let's find a breakthrough by focusing on Chi Linglong.

He went downstairs and into the basement.

The iron gate opened, and a faint fragrance filled the small house.

Chi Linglong was leaning against the wall, holding a book that Lin Mo had sent over.

"Democracy and Freedom" is a book that Long Qingxue extracted from ideological and political textbooks in the mainstream world, specifically for ideological enlightenment.

There were several similar booklets stacked next to it.

The purpose was to subtly change Chi Linglong's mind and make her work for him.

Chi Linglong's face was still a little pale, but she was much better than she had been in the first few days of her imprisonment.

She was looking down at the book in her hands, her brows slightly furrowed, whether she was puzzled by the contents of the book or touched by something else, it was hard to tell.

"lecher!"

Seeing Lin Mo enter, her face immediately turned cold. She slammed the book shut, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with fury, as if she wanted to devour Lin Mo alive.

Lin Mo wasn't annoyed. He pulled up a chair and sat down opposite her, crossing his legs.

"Likewise. You sneaking into my building in the middle of the night, you're hardly a gentleman."

"I was following orders."

"The essence is the same. I'm doing it to protect myself, you're doing it to arrest someone. We're both ruthless, neither of us is more noble than the other."

Lin Mo pulled out several photos from his pocket and threw them on the ground in front of Chi Linglong.

"I didn't come here to argue with you. Take a look at this."

The photos were taken from surveillance footage. The image quality wasn't great, but it was enough to make out those familiar faces.

Chi Linglong's gaze fell on the photo, and her expression changed instantly.

She abruptly raised her head, her voice tinged with barely suppressed tension:

"Master, Junior Sister! What have you done to them?"

"It's not like that yet."

Your master is staying at an inn in Cangwu County with his three junior sisters. They go out to look around every day, probably trying to find clues about your disappearance.

But you should know that the rules in Lianhai County are not set by me, but by the law.

If they did something outrageous.

For example, trespassing into places they shouldn't be in, or attacking my people...

Then I can't guarantee that.

"You dare!"

Chi Linglong suddenly struggled forward, the iron chains clanging as they firmly locked her to the wall.

Her eyes were slightly red, but more than that, they were filled with anger and helplessness, like a lioness locked in a cage, staring at the hunter outside the cage, but unable to reach a single hair on his head.

Lin Mo looked at her leisurely, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his lips:

"Whether I dare or not, haven't you already experienced it firsthand?"

Chi Linglong's cheeks flushed instantly, a blush tinged with shame, indignation, and humiliation.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and the two iron chains rattled as she pulled on them. She felt as if she wanted to leap off the wall and bite the shameless scoundrel in front of her to death.

She struggled for a long time, but finally stopped, panting heavily, lowered her head, and her voice was hoarse with a hint of resentment:

"You bastard..."

What exactly do you want?

"Let's make a deal."

Lin Mo took out another booklet from his pocket and handed it to her.

Chi Linglong raised her head and looked at him warily:

"What kind of deal?"

"Join us. I'll let you go."

"Join you? What do you mean?"

Chi Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly, as if trying to determine if this was yet another trap.

Lin Mo shoved the booklet into her hand.

It was a copy of the "Revival Association Declaration" personally edited by Long Qingxue, with a cover printed on a dark blue background and several lines of gold lettering.

The content begins with the concept of popular sovereignty, then moves on to the institutional design of the separation of powers, and finally to the legal principle of equality for all. It ends with a citizenship oath.

For those whose cultivation level is higher than his own, it means that their mental strength is also higher than his own. Therefore, Lin Mo cannot use the Mind-Bending Technique to control them. He can only rely on this document that unifies their thoughts to help them and make these martial arts masters truly agree with Lian Hai's philosophy from the bottom of their hearts.

After unifying the world, he will definitely be the first president.

As for his future term, we'll talk about that later; after all, there's a whole new world waiting for him.

"It's okay, don't rush, take your time."

"You can tell the guard once you've made up your mind."

Lin Mo stood up, opened the iron gate, and walked out.

The iron gate slammed shut behind them, and the small house fell silent once more.

Chi Linglong looked down at the thin "Revival Congress Declaration" in her hand, the cover of which was printed with a line of gold lettering she had never seen before.

"All men are created equal."

She stared at the line of text for a long time before finally slowly turning to the first page.

After several days of fruitless investigation, Zhou Min summoned her three disciples to her inn room, closed the door, and revealed her plans.

Go directly to Lin Mo, capture him, and interrogate him.

As soon as she finished speaking, her three disciples objected in unison.

Liu Biyao spoke first, her tone urgent:

"Master, you mustn't!"

These past few days I've heard a lot about Lin Mo in the teahouse. The people all say he's a good official. Lianhai County used to be dirt poor, but after he came, he built roads and factories, and the people were finally able to have enough to eat.

How could we possibly lay a hand on someone like that?

Duan Rongyue nodded in agreement and added:

"Yes, Master, I've inquired about it too."

Although those martial arts practitioners were strictly governed by the rules of Lianhai County, none of them dared to disagree with Lin Mo.

Even Ke Zhenhai, who was known for his strong sense of justice, served as his instructor; this man was no ordinary person.

"Our Emei Sect is a reputable and righteous sect. If we truly wish to inquire about Senior Sister Chi, we can simply visit her openly and honestly. Why resort to violence?"

Su Xuejian, being the youngest, spoke the most bluntly and looked directly at her master, offering her advice:

"Master, you always teach us to be upright and honest people, and not to take our anger out on others just because we can't find Sister Chi."

If Lin Mo were truly a bad person, why would the people love and respect him so much?

Zhou Min remained silent for a long time after being advised by her three disciples in turn.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and her gaze swept over her three apprentices before she finally nodded slowly.

"Since you've all said that, I'm not an unreasonable person."

Tomorrow morning, we will go to that complex building to formally pay a visit to Magistrate Lin Mo.

First try diplomacy, then resort to force!

If he were truly a good official, he would naturally not make things difficult for Linglong.

If he truly has some shady dealings, it won't be too late for me to take action then.
