Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 50 - 50 50 Return to the Present World

50: Chapter 50: Return to the Present World 50: Chapter 50: Return to the Present World At this moment, Mo Xingye seemed in no hurry at all.

Instead, a trace of appreciation for talent surged in her eyes, as if she wanted to try to subdue Lin Xing.

She looked at Lin Xing and said, “Do you know why I want to kill Zhang Tiande?”

“I don’t care why.” Lin Xing only felt that Mo Xingye before him, with her incessant rambling, was becoming increasingly annoying.

Lin Xing thought to himself that if he had to listen to a long speech like this every time time reversed—hundreds or thousands of times… he reckoned he would go insane.

“This woman is too much trouble,” Lin Xing sighed to himself, “I won’t seek her out again.”

Mo Xingye answered her own question, “In the two years since Zhang Tiande occupied Dongya Prefecture, tens of thousands of people have died by their hands.”

“Do you know the fate of those women taken to the military camps?

Do you know how brutal they are when they exterminate villages and raid Taoist abodes?

Women are violated, men become their slaves, and children are sold by them.”

“In Zhang Tiande’s eyes, only his own brothers are human.

To him, others are pigs, dogs, sheep—merely resources for him to recruit soldiers and acquire horses.”

“He has no intention of managing Dongya Prefecture.

He only intends to drain every resource here, gather secret Taoist techniques to get through the great changes in heaven and earth that will come in a year’s time.”

Mo Xingye looked at Lin Xing and said, “Such a gangster-like group has no future for you to follow.”

Lin Xing’s attention was captured by Mo Xingye’s mention of ‘the great changes in heaven and earth in a year’s time.’ He asked, “You said in a year?

The great changes in heaven and earth?

What is that?”

Mo Xingye explained, “According to ancient texts passed down through generations by various sects, roughly in a year’s time will come the great changes in heaven and earth; then, the flowing spiritual energy will surge, and higher inheritances of all sects will open up.”

“That’s why, in these years, warlords like Zhang Tiande are desperately attacking various sects and collecting intelligence on inheritances, in preparation for the coming changes.”

Hearing this, a flicker of doubt surfaced in Lin Xing’s heart, “The great changes in heaven and earth in Mirror World in a year’s time?

Does this have any connection with the disaster that sent me back a year in the present world?”

Seeing Lin Xing lost in thought, Mo Xingye thought her persuasion had some effect and continued, “Lin Xing, with your temperament, you are bound to be ostracized and dealt with under Zhang Tiande’s command.

It’s not a question of right or wrong; it is a struggle for interests.”

“But you, so young and already possessing such an array of talismans—if you join my Taoist way, you are bound to have a great future.”

“If you are willing to join my sect, I can make a decision and eventually teach you the Higher Inheritance of the Heavenly Will Sect.”

Lin Xing looked at Mo Xingye curiously and asked, “I killed the Dragon Tiger Divine General of your Heavenly Will Sect.”

With a faint smile that seemed to carry a hint of melancholy in her eyes, Mo Xingye said lightly, “Do you know how the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Will Sect was born?”

“When I was five years old, my two sisters and I became candidates for the Holy Daughter in the sect.”

“That year, there were a total of forty-nine candidates for the Holy Daughter.”

“And now, aside from myself, only one candidate for Holy Daughter remains, and the Dragon Tiger Divine General you slayed was her subordinate.”

Saying this, Mo Xingye arrived in front of the door and said lightly, “I know it may be difficult for you to switch allegiances, but I am willing to wait for you.”

“However, this time will not be long, because Zhang Tiande won’t last much longer here.”

Lin Xing felt a familiar sensation rising within his heart and stared at Mo Xingye, saying, “Hey!

Wait!

Don’t open the door yet!”

Seeing Lin Xing trying to “retain” her, Mo Xingye smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, we will meet again soon.”

“Hey!

Stop—”

The next moment, as Mo Xingye disappeared with the action of opening the door, Lin Xing expressed his surprise, “Can’t she feel it?

The door’s opened.”

With Mo Xingye’s departure, the force binding Lin Xing’s body also vanished without a trace.

He immediately stood up, rushed toward the now-open door, and likewise disappeared in an instant.

…

Inside Ruyi Temple.

Commander Zhang’s face went from pale to flushed, and it took a while before it returned to normal.

He went outside and said to the military officer in front of him, “Interrogate everyone in Ruyi Temple; I want to know where that Evil Woman is hiding.”

The officer hesitated, the imposing figure of Lin Xing from the day before, slaughtering the Dragon Tiger Divine General, still lingering in his mind.

So he asked, “Mr.

Lin protected many prisoners yesterday.

Should we inform him about this?”

Commander Zhang gave him a cold look, “Is he the Commander, or am I the Commander?

Do you listen to him or to me?”

The officer shuddered, repeatedly apologized, and then immediately retreated.

Before long, all the Taoists, nuns, and Daoist Children from Ruyi Temple were gathered together, and the miserable screams echoed from the various rooms.

After many hours, a military officer splattered with blood approached Commander Zhang and reported, “Commander, someone’s talked; it might be at Tianqing Building.”

A flicker of bloodshot anger crossed Commander Zhang’s eyes, and he said coldly, “Deploy troops to surround Tianqing Building; let no one escape.”

…

In the present world, inside the Quantum Intelligence Research Institute.

“The door’s opening is predicted.”

“Predicted so early, it seems to be a natural door.”

“Is Lin Xing coming back?”

“All units prepare.”

A person in black spoke into the intercom, “Remember, the target is a severe mental illness patient; don’t believe anything he says.”

“Also, do not use any lethal means; injuries are acceptable, but he must be captured alive in the end.”

After these instructions, the person in black turned around to face the giant restraining device behind them.

They saw a middle-aged man’s head, hands, feet, and torso being held down by layers of mechanical arms.

The man’s mind was tranquil under the influence of the drugs, which also caused him to dribble saliva from his open mouth at times.

The person in black looked at him and said, “Stop pretending, Number One, your drug effect should be about to wear off.”

The middle-aged man referred to as Number One chuckled, looked at the person in black in front of him, and said, “What games are you natives of this secret realm playing this time?”

The person in black glanced at the time on their mobile phone, then pulled out a Token and asked, “Do you recognize this?”

Seeing the immediate change in the other’s expression, the person in black spoke indifferently, “It seems you recognize it, which is good; it should save me the trouble of explaining.”

“I need your help capturing someone next.

If you succeed, I can let you go back.”

“Remember this, you can torture him as you please, but you must not kill him.

If he dies, be prepared to die with him.”
