Chapter 2480 A Big Catch
The more Lin Mu and his companions looked through, the more they learned about the Cloak And Dagger Hall.
Their clients were quite varied and ranged from Nobles all the way to some common riffraff. It was quite a concern for the Crown Prince as there were some important nobles involved in it, too.
"Lord Han!?" Crown Prince Feng Shun discovered.
"Who's that?" Lin Mu inquired.
"Lord Han is the Second Brother of Father's Fourth Concubine." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "He's involved in this too…" his expression became stern.
Lord Han's position was quite high up due to his relation and showed that the people who had made use of the Cloak and Dagger hall reached all the way to the upper echelons of the Aristocratic circle. The only saving grace right now was that there didn't seem to be anyone from the Imperial Court itself part of it. "We need to find more of their places." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, thinking about it.
"Speaking of that… Looks like we won't have to wait long." Lin Mu said as he received a message from Ashy. "Our little assassin has reached the hideout. And she's not alone." He added.
"Good. Time to see what else they're hiding." Crown Prince Feng Shun said before getting up.
"Shall we do this ourselves?" Daoist Chu asked.
"Of course, I've been sitting for far too long." Ziran said as he stretched a bit.
"Follow me," Lin Mu said as he took the lead.
~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~
He flew out, and the others followed him, soaring over the night sky of the Capital City. It was around three am in the night, and as such, most of the city was asleep, with none having the knowledge that a major incident had occurred in the city.
This was something that they wished to preserve as news of any kind of untoward incident would only sow unease which could lead to chaos. The people had already been unnerved after the explosion at the outpost of the Black Ying Empire outpost.
Thankfully, it had been contained, or the effects of it would have certainly been a lot more terrifying.
Lin Mu flew for about fifteen minutes before finally reaching the northern division of the Capital City. This was the area that was located just before the Tournament grounds and had various restaurants, and entertainment establishments. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Mu could sense the presence of Ashy from none other than one such establishments.
"In there." Lin Mu pointed to a large compound with tens of buildings inside it along with several smaller courtyard. Over all it took up at least two square kilometers of area, showing just how big it was. "The Nine Pleasures Entrancement Pavilion." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "Its one of the busiest entertainment establishments in the city… Owned by none other than Lord Kou Tua." He revealed.
"Looks like this lord Kou Tua is getting suspicious by the minute." Ziran said as he took a look inside the dark rooms of the pavilion.
His Eyes of the Underdark activated and he looked through it all, finding several sensual activities currently underway. But it was merely a ploy, as in one certain room, a familiar servant girl was present along with a couple more individuals.
"There," Ziran pointed.
"Commander Dui, seal the entire district." Crown Prince Feng Shun ordered. "We'll head in ourselves." "As you command, my Prince." The Commander said before going away to carry out his duty.
"Let me take a look underground as well, they definitely have more than just this." Lin Mu suggested.
"Please do, Daoist Lin Mu." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu closed his eyes for a moment and activated his Spatial Perception. His vision extended past the limits of the physical walls and went below the floorboards of the entire pavilion. It viewed several meters of just soil and rocks before finally reaching an open space below.
It was as wide as the entirety of the Nine Pleasures Entrancement Pavilion and had over a hundred rooms and halls within it. Lin Mu could also sense at least a couple hundred clumps of Qi moving around, letting him know just how many people there were.
"Oh my… Looks like we got the big fish." Lin Mu stated, not having expected to see these many people at all.
"They're all hiding there?" Crown Princess Shang asked. "How many?"
"Over two hundred." Lin Mu replied. "This might just be their main base." He stated.
"Great… We can deal with them all at once," Crown Prince Feng Shun stated as an arc of lightning jumped out of his eyes.
"How do you wish to do this?" Ziran asked. "I don't think we'll be able to restrain all of them. There'll be bound to be some that sense it or get to act before that." He added.
"I'll deal with the higher ups. The rest should not matter as much." Lin Mu replied. "Though I'll need more of that poison, Crown Princess." He requested.
"Here, should be more than enough." The woman quickly handed Lin Mu a box full of vials. "Shouldn't take long," Lin Mu said as he disappeared into thin air.
The group waited in the air for about five minutes, after which Lin Mu gave them the go ahead.
"Let's go!" Crown Prince Feng Shun raised his finger and pointed it down at the empty space in one of the gardens.
~RUMBLE~
~BOOM~
A thick bolt of lightning shot down from his finger, drilling through the ground and blasting opening up a tunnel for them to pass through
To the patrons of the establishment, it was as if a quake had occurred and they were very rudely shook. Of course, chaos soon broke, and the people started to scramble. But when they tried to leave the Pavilion, they were all quickly stopped by the guards.
Of course, they had no idea of the more bloody events that were happening just below them. But the ground shook, and a faint peal of thunder could be heard coming from it, shaking the hearts of all those that heard it.
