Dong Qing and his son became even more nervous. Mu Dongfeng said, "I've long admired the Silver Moon Villa's great name. In any case, please make an exception for us." As he spoke, he went over and stuffed a banknote. Perhaps he didn't want to lose to Yan Li, but it was also a banknote of five hundred taels.
Yan Li had sharp eyes.
He sneered in his heart.
"Manager?" The man who looked like a steward smiled and accepted the banknotes generously. However, he still refused to let them pass. He said, "You all should know what kind of place Silver Moon Villa is. Look at it with your muddy eyes …" He pointed at the luxurious carriages lined up outside the decorated archway. "The people here are all nobles. Why are the common people here to join in the fun?"
"You!" Mu Dongfeng was furious.
"What do you mean?" Dong Qing's face darkened. If Zhan Mu hadn't stopped him, he would have already exploded.
"What's the hurry?" The steward's attitude was haughty, and his nose was in the air. "First come, first served. Besides, the rules of seniority are there. When you ride in that kind of carriage, I will naturally try to curry favor with you. But before that, you'd better listen to my rules."
"What rules?" Zhan Mu was also a little impatient.
The manager said, "The master is holding a banquet. No disturbance is allowed. You must wait until the banquet is over and all the nobles leave in their noble carriages. Only then can you sneak in from the back door and see the beauty of the villa."
Everyone understood that they could only enter after the banquet was over.
However, the problem was that the core of the investigation was this banquet. It was hard to say whether it was a slave trading convention. They had to catch them in the act so that the army of the imperial court could take action. When the banquet was over, it would be too late.
"Sir, please." Yan Li spoke at this time.
He could have watched coldly from the side. After all, investigating the slave trading was not in his interest. Whether it was successful or not, he wouldn't lose anything. He couldn't bear the responsibility alone.
"Brat, do you have something to say?" The manager's gaze shifted slightly.
Yan Li smiled and said, "It's like this. We don't have an ordinary employer-employee relationship with Boss. We're like teachers and friends, brothers and disciples. The recipe for Fire Beyond the Heavens was developed by us together. According to reason, we'll all have a share of it after it's sold. Naturally, we'll have to be present and listen to the discussion of the price. Do you think I look like a noisy fellow to you, sir, and allow us to accompany you, and not make any noise? "
"Hmm, kid, you're quite tactful with your words." The steward's eyes shone with admiration. "Unlike the others, even their farts don't smell nice. Hey! How can it be so easy to ask for help? "
A cold light flashed in Dong Qing's eyes. Even after getting a bargain, he was still trying to act innocent. What a bastard. Normally, when he saw this, how could he tolerate it? He would have long since chopped him in two.
"Alright, alright. I'll make the decision this time. Follow me."
The steward walked in front. Everyone relaxed and hurriedly followed.
Behind this decorated archway was a few hundred steps of bluestone path, with pine trees on both sides. At the end was a long staircase made of white jade, with a total of 98 steps.
This detail couldn't be overlooked. If it was above the ninety-ninth level, it would be considered arrogant and disrespectful to the Emperor.
Zhan Mu spat in disdain. What an impenetrable fox.
Climbing up the stairs, they saw another decorated archway. On the left was a plaque that was ten feet tall, with the words: Since ancient times, one's family and life are matters. — On the right was a plaque that was ten feet tall, with the words: How can one be placed among the Emperors, Generals, and Ministers? — What was different about the decorated archway was a horizontal sentence: How laughable.
Zhan Mu was inwardly enraged. This vulgar brush and ink clearly revealed the true face of its owner, a nouveau riche. The one who was ridiculed was none other than a 'lackey' like him. This was truly intolerable. Even if he couldn't find any evidence, he would fiercely report him when he returned and destroy his prestige!
Although he had made a plan, how could he have foreseen that his flame of life would fall from the sky like a meteor here tonight, returning to the Void Underworld?
Passing through the decorated archway, they could see a clear grade-separated bluestone path that led straight to the brightly lit area.
Under the night sky, there were countless elegant pavilions, courtyards, and palaces with carved railings and painted rafters. They were arranged in a picturesque manner in the thin mist. Most of the places were brightly lit, like a city that never sleeps.
In fact, the Silver Moon Villa was known as a "city within a city".
The steward said, "The main hall is holding a banquet. Old Master can't leave for now. Please wait in the teahouse. This place is heavily guarded, and there are good men guarding everywhere. If you dare to barge in, you will be killed or buried. Remember this. "
In the brightly lit area, there was a faint unbridled noise coming from one of the largest palaces. It was as if countless people were seeking pleasure there. They had let go of the reins of their desires and let them run wild in the field of pleasure. There, people were naked, singing loudly, with no one to control them or criticize them. Everyone was bolder and wilder than the other. Even if they stayed up all night, it was still not enough. They wished that the sun would never rise.
"What kind of status does one have to have to be able to drink a cup of bewitching nectar there? It's really enviable. "Yan Li exclaimed in admiration.
"What do you think those are?" The steward suddenly sneered and said in a sharp voice, "Honorable guests? High and mighty officials? Synonyms for power? Hmph, they're none of those. They're just a pile of moving fat meat, slaves to their desires, and strands of rotten souls. I only admit that they're the authorities when it comes to seeking pleasure. "
The teahouse wasn't big. It was covered with a carpet with a Chinese redbud flower pattern. There were seven to eight seats, and five people sat separately.
The steward had left long ago. A few manservants were waiting on the side, but they were probably more for surveillance.
"What are we waiting for?" Mu Dongfeng was very anxious.
Zhan Mu made a "kill" gesture. Everyone moved in unison, silently killing the manservants to prevent them from making any noise.
"There's no doubt about the target location. Let's go directly to see what they're up to." Zhan Mu was the leader of this trip, so he gave the order in an experienced manner.
Everyone climbed up the roof beams, gently peeled off the roof tiles, and walked in a line.
Yan Li was the last, and he pulled Yan Chaoyang.
Yan Chaoyang turned around to look at him, but he saw him make a gesture. It was a code word that belonged to Yanshan Robber, which meant: Don't let a single one of them go.
Zhan Mu was worthy of being Ji Tiansheng's number one secret agent. The heavily guarded Silver Moon Villa was like flat ground to him. He jumped from one roof to another, and walked straight toward the palace. Soon, he arrived at his destination.
A few dark red tiles were lifted, and everyone looked down with different expressions.
They saw a magnificent palace, and balls of naked fat were chasing beautiful women. Some of the women were crying, some were throwing a tantrum, and some wanted to hang themselves, but none of them were willing. They were all stripped naked. Many jade tables were filled with fine wine, fruits, and vegetables, but few people asked about them. A few decent men were hugging beautiful women, and they were toasting with each other, as if they were going to drink all the wine of their lives today. In the corner of the palace, there were several men and women who were having sex. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they were constantly shouting obscenities.
In the main seat of the palace, there was a man whose body seemed to be dyed with a rainbow. He looked at the ugly behavior of the people with drunken eyes, and from time to time, he would let out a raving or inexplicable laugh. Behind him stood four women in different colored dresses. They didn't care about what was happening in the palace, and they treated it with indifference.
Yan Li only looked at him, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. Who else could it be but Young Master Cai?
"Isn't that Lord Li? Even Lord Wang is here … Great Xia, Wei Wei's mighty Yong Ling, actually has such a filthy place! "Blood rushed to Zhan Mu's eyes, and his hair stood up in anger.
He turned his eyes and saw Young Master Cai sitting at the head of the palace. His heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Why isn't he dead?"
"He won't die so easily!" Dong Qing's face was filled with fear, "He has thousands of clones, and I don't know which one is real and which one is fake. Every time he appears, his cultivation level is different. He's a treacherous and unpredictable person. I've been working for him for so many years, but I've never seen his true face."
"Who is he?" Zhan Mu was bewildered.
"The Deputy Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion." Dong Qing revealed some inside information. But he only said one sentence, and then stopped.
Zhan Mu knew that Dong Qing wanted to keep this information for the highest price, but just the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion alone shocked him. "The Heavenly Cloud Pavilion that compiles the Asura List?"
There was an organization in Yongling that used the "cultivators' chaotic world" as its core idea. It gathered a group of depressed scholars and literati to publicize the idea of the Great Ancestor, intending to oppose the tradition of the Martial Emperor. Defying the will of the Martial Emperor would be punishable by the execution of nine generations. The reason why this organization survived was that they held high the name of the Great Ancestor.
Although the Asura List was ranked by cultivation level, the higher one's cultivation level was, the easier it was to kill people. The establishment of this list was not without irony.
Dong Qing's words threw the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion into the abyss. It turned out that the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion also belonged to the underworld.
"Don't act rashly!" Dong Qing said, "Compared to the huge trading market, this place is just a drop in the ocean. Although I don't know much about the core inside information, there's a place called Black Mountain in the dark. That's the real headquarters. Since we've found the evidence, we'll retreat and let His Majesty decide …"
"Wait!" Zhan Mu's eyes were burning as he stared at Young Master Cai's movements.
At this time, Young Master Cai stood up. His eyes regained their clarity and he said in a clear voice, "I can't deny that everyone here is my friend."
The clamor in the hall suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at him.
A well-dressed man smiled and said, "It seems that the Lord has arranged other programs."
"Haha." Young Master Cai laughed loudly. His eyes were filled with indescribable excitement because the next program was his favorite.
After receiving confirmation, the group of nobles put on their clothes and returned to their positions. The women huddled in the corner, shivering, but did not dare to run away. This was because those who tried to run away were all stabbed to death by the spear.
"Good things should naturally be shared with friends." Young Master Cai said in a magnetic voice, "Today, I've prepared a gift. Bring it here."
Two strong men immediately appeared in the back hall, escorting a masked woman who was tied up tightly.
The masked woman kept struggling. After being escorted out, she stared at Young Master Cai with hatred and said angrily, "Gongsun Jin, you will die a horrible death!"
Young Master Cai's gaze was gentle, and his tone was gentle. "Cui Er, your soul is already full. You're limited by the container. You've already worked very hard, but you still can't escape the shackles. I'm very sorry, but it's time to destroy you. Otherwise, the fruit will start to rot. "
When he finished speaking, he turned to the crowd and opened his arms. "Look, this is the gift I've prepared for everyone — the female slave of the High Mountain Race. Tonight is a sleepless night. Who can take off her veil and seize her first night? Then, everyone can vent on her to their heart's content. Let her cry and let her purity wither. Let her become the source of our happiness. I can't help but tremble. Hahahaha, we are the destroyers of beauty. Destroy them and rejoice in the present."
"Destroy them and rejoice in the present!"
"Destroy them and rejoice in the present!"
The nobles outside the hall revealed their green faces and fangs, turning into evil spirits.
How could Yan Li not recognize Cui Er? Wasn't she Yu Youwei's maid? But the words "Gongsun Jin" made him remember that day when he first met Young Master Cai in the Returning Moon Pavilion. Cui Er was also beside him.
"We should go!" Dong Qing was very anxious. The longer he stayed, the more afraid he felt. That person rarely showed a crazy appearance, but when he did, he was very scary.
At this moment, a person rushed in from outside the hall. It was the steward who led Yan Li and the others into the manor. He came to Young Master Cai's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
The excitement in Young Master Cai's eyes gradually faded, and an indescribable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he looked at where Yan Li and the others were and raised his hand.
"Oh no!" Zhan Mu was shocked.
