Chapter 2479  Apprehending And Search For Intel

~CRACK~

~THUD~

The wooden door exploded as a first burst through it.

The wooden fragments splattered all over the hall's interior and even pelted a few of the paralyzed individuals. They would have squirmed from the pain, but fortunately for them they had already gone numb from the Flesh And Qi Strangling Poison.

"Lord Imperator." The one to arrive was none other than Commander Dui. "You got them all?" he said seeing the restrained individuals.

"Yes, though I don't know if they can withstand the poison." Lin Mu replied seeing that some of them with low cultivation bases were actually having a hard time breathing. "Their breathing is getting bad and their hearts are slowing down as well." He added.

'I might have gotten the dose wrong… Perhaps I should have only fed them a part of the bottle and not the whole thing.' Lin Mu noted his mistake for the next time.

Of course he had no idea when Crown Princess Shang had given him the poison, she had only considered it to be used on someone at Lin Mu's level or around that. It was a strong poison in the first place and was also quite expensive.

But Lin Mu used it as is, thinking that he had little time since the Cloak And Dagger Hall members could possibly kill themselves at any moment.

"We'll take care of them." Commander Dui replied. "Take them away!" he ordered.

"Yes, commander!" the guards that he had brought with him replied and quickly carried the poisoned 'victims' away.

Once they were gone, Lin Mu spoke to the Commander again.

"What about the Servant girl?" he inquired.

"She's left the Imperial Grounds just as you said and we are staying away from not make her suspicious." Commander Dui replied.

"Good. I already have someone monitoring her." Lin Mu said making the Commander curious about who it could be.

'Whoever they are, they must be an expert in stealth.' The Commander thought to himself not knowing that it was just a bird that was doing it. "The Treasury Minister also asks if you need any more a.s.sistance?" he added.

"Tell him to keep his guards ready to mobilize at any moment." Lin Mu answered. "And I'm a.s.suming the Crown Prince is ready too?" "Of course." The Commander nodded.

"Good… It won't be long hopefully." Lin Mu said as he sensed Ashy's location.

He had been monitoring her and had asked her to stay hidden just like before. He had done this as part of the full plan which involved tricking the girl.

Lin Mu had asked the Treasury Minister to set up a lookalike who would get killed instead of him so that the Servant girl would think she had succeeded. They had also gone an extra step and a made sure that the guards were one step behind in catching the girl, allowing her to get away freely.

From what he had heard from Ashy, the instructions were for the girl to go to a certain hideout upon successful execution of her mission. From there on she were to wait until she was given the right chance to escape the city.

Normally they would simply use a Teleportation Talisman, but Yao Changying's Spatial Lock had conveniently taken away that option. Lin Mu hoped that the Servant girl would lead them to the hideout which would ideally have more people, and information about their affiliation to the Black Ying Empire.

"Let's gather everything here. There's bound to be something of use for us." Lin Mu said once he confirmed that there was no problem on Ashy's end. "Indeed." Commander Dui replied and helped Lin Mu gather the doc.u.ments.

The other people he had brought with him did the same and they all collected them securely. Lin Mu took this chance to make a copy for himself, since he wished to a.n.a.lyze them himself too.

Soon they were done and left the furniture shop. Though a bunch of guards stayed behind and more arrived, since they would be setting up a perimeter and investigating more into the shop's owners.h.i.+p.

Lin Mu went to the Crown Prince's Personal Palace where the others had gathered. He explained all that had happened to them, leaving them quite surprised.

"You really went to a banquet and uncovered an entire scheme." Crown Prince Feng Shun didn't know what to say about it.

"It was just luck." Lin Mu replied. "Thankfully they were impatient enough to act right then." He added.

"That's good for us." Daoist Chu laughed. "The more impatient they are the more mistakes they'll make."

"Though who were they?" Ziran questioned. "Considering their proximity to the Imperial Grounds, they must've had great influence."

"That's what I wonder too." Lin Mu said as he took out a jade slip. "Let's see if we find anything from these doc.u.ments." He said as he tapped the jade slip, letting a formation screen appear.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

The formation screen then divide into seven and moved in front of each individual present which included Crown Princess Shang, and Monk Hushu as well.

As they all scanned through it, Monk Hushu ended up being the first one to discover an important bit of information.

"It says here that a payment of two million Immortal Stones was sent to someone named Lord Kou Tua." Monk Hushu stated.

"Lord Kou Tua?" Crown Prince Feng Shun narrowed his eyes as he recalled the name. "That's… a low ranked Aristocrat. If I recall correctly he used to be a merchant and later gained access to n.o.bility about a thousand years ago."

"I found something more." Crown Princess Shang spoke this time. "A receipt of payment from someone named Darin." "Darin? That's not a name native to the Rust Sky World." Crown Prince Feng Shun said in confusion.

"He might be from another world." Ziran guessed. "Keep on looking."

They did that and found out many such recipients and payment records along with job commissions of various kinds showing that the Cloak and Dagger Hall was very, very busy.
