”But Lingling is still too young, I've been doing some investigations over the past few years, and I've discovered that those who could produce a special death mark like that were no ordinary creatures, to the extent that I didn't even dare to look into it further, as I've begun to feel that something is threatening my life,” said Leng Qing sternly.
Mo Fan was astounded. Leng Qing was a Vice Elder of the Magic Court, yet even she could not solve the case despite her power and strength?
What exactly were the things that would produce these dark red souls? Judging from Leng Qing's words, he was clearly aware that Lingling's father was a very outstanding Hunter!
”So about the investigations that Lingling is doing… she is so keen to hunt down demon beasts, and accept all kinds of quests, just to collect more information?” Mo Fan asked.
”Indeed. My identity is rather special, so once I go any deeper, the factions hiding in the dark would start interfering. It's more effective for Lingling to find clues from incidents related to demon beasts. After all, when I'm involved, things became different. Anything that's related would be wiped clean,” said Leng Qing.
Mo Fan frowned. He could tell that the whole thing involved a huge secret.
However, Mo Fan was only worried about Leng Qing's safety. If Leng Qing had mentioned that the factions hiding in the dark would interfere once they investigated too deeply into the matter, didn't that mean Lingling would eventually stumble into them?
”Lingling isn't as simple as you think she is, just let her be. Even if we tried to stop her, she would still do it… she's only investigating the dark red soul, so it's not too big of a deal,” Leng Qing said calmly.
”Senior Sister Leng Qing, it sounds like you know something discrete,” said Mo Fan.
”Would it make any difference? Doing anything before you're powerful enough would only get yourself killed,” said Leng Qing.

Leng Qing did not discuss the topic any further, but Mo Fan was already intrigued.
Mo Fan proceeded to find out more information about Lingling's father, and to his great surprise, her father, Qin Zhan, was a Senior Hunter!
The only time Mo Fan had met a Senior Hunter was during the incident of the Mother Scale Skin Phantom. He could never forget the astonishing sight of the giant blue beast stomping the stadium from above. The Senior Hunter was incredibly dignified, their presence accompanied by an imperious aura and epic background music!
How terrifying was a quest that killed a Senior Hunter without leaving any trace?
As Mo Fan tried to investigate further, he could no longer find anything useful. He was only an Advanced Hunter, thus the information he had access to was fairly limited...
Mo Fan tried asking Professor Qiu Yuhua, to see if he knew anything about the death mark.
The dark red mark was very unique. If he could understand the reason behind the color change of one's soul, he might be able to find more useful clues.
