29: Chapter 29 Isn't Senior Brother a regular at brothels?

Early the next morning.

Led by Bai Cheng, the group entered Yan Capital, proceeding smoothly all the way to the royal palace to meet the current monarch of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"I have already been informed of your purpose for coming. This King will assist you."

Dressed in dragon robes, King Li Ye spoke to the group with a solemn expression.

Bai Cheng had already briefed him on the matter, so he was well-prepared.

Moreover, the matter involved Demonic Path practitioners.

If a Demonic Path practitioner were truly hidden within his capital, it would be a troublesome matter for him as well.

Therefore, he was extremely cooperative.

"Then we ask Your Majesty to lock down the capital, allowing entry but no exit. Everyone must undergo our inspection,"

Lin Ming added.

One still had to give some Face to the King of a Dynasty; furthermore, the other's cultivation was not weak, having reached the level of Lingtai Ninth Heaven.

"Pass down the order: the capital is to be locked down. Entry only, no exit."

King Li Ye glanced at the eunuch beside him and immediately gave the command.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, the eunuch withdrew.

At the same time, five men entered the hall from outside—two middle-aged men and three Elders.

"These five are the Chief, Deputy Chiefs, and Enshrined Elders of our Great Yan Demon Suppression Division. They will assist you all."

King Li Ye said.

Although he didn't know why Yuanxu Mountain would send several Spirit Platform Realm practitioners,

since it involved demonic forces, for the safety of the Yuanxu Mountain Disciples, he had deployed Spirit Treasury Realm combat power to serve temporarily as guards for these Spirit Platform Realm practitioners until they departed.

"Demon Seeking Array Disc, five-directional positioning. You four will each take a position at the North, South, East, and West."

Zhu Yuankong said to the four.

The so-called Demon Seeking Array was actually a Formation divided into five Formation Plates, using positional coverage to search for Demonic Path practitioners within a certain range.

Their mission this time also included the task of testing these Formation Plates.

Zhu Yuankong was the controller of this Formation; although he was a Spirit Platform Realm practitioner, his mastery of the Dao of Formations had already reached the level of a Rank Five Formation Master.

Despite Zhu Yuankong's youthful appearance, he was already forty-five years old. However, being able to cultivate the Dao of Formations to Rank Five at this age made him a genius in the field.

"Your Majesty, is there a map of the capital?"

Zhu Yuankong asked King Li Ye.

"Go and fetch the map of the capital."

King Li Ye immediately ordered.

A moment later, a map of Yan Capital appeared before them.

Zhu Yuankong assigned the four their positions based on the map, after which they headed to their designated locations.

Lin Ming naturally followed the assignment. As a Rank Nine Formation Master, Lin Ming could tell at a glance that this Demon Seeking Array Disc was a Rank Five Formation, but it was only a Rank Five Low Grade Formation and appeared quite crude.

He remembered that the Sect had some better Demon Seeking Formations; why were they using such a crude one?

"Junior Sister, will you stay here or come with me?"

Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue and asked.

"I want to go with Senior Brother."

Su Lianxue frowned slightly and said.

Ever since stepping into this palace, Su Lianxue had an inexplicable bad premonition, and this feeling came from a warning from her Divine Soul.

She felt it was safer to stay by her Senior Brother's side—after all, this Senior Brother of hers was hiding his cultivation.

"Then let's go."

Lin Ming nodded.

An Elder led the way for them; this Elder was none other than the Chief of the Great Yan Demon Suppression Division, Division Master Meng Ran.

His cultivation had already reached Spirit Treasury Realm Ninth Heaven, only a step away from becoming a Kuhai Master.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Ming was a Disciple of the Zichen Peak Master, King Li Ye wouldn't have asked this man to personally ensure Lin Ming's safety.

If something were to happen to the Disciple of that Perfected Lord under their jurisdiction, they truly wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

"Division Master Meng, may I ask you a few things?"

Inside the carriage, Lin Ming lifted the curtain, observing the prosperity of Yan Capital as he questioned the Elder beside him.

"Please, speak."

Division Master Meng Ran replied with a kind smile.

"Does Division Master Meng know of the Wang Family?"

Lin Ming asked.

"Is the young friend referring to the Family of the Marquis of Martial Suppression?"

Division Master Meng Ran thought for a moment and said.

In Yan Capital, the only one this young man would likely refer to as a 'Family' was the Marquis of Martial Suppression's household.

"Exactly."

Lin Ming nodded.

"You must have heard about the Marquis's legitimate son being taken as a Disciple by an Elder of the Yongzhen Sect."

Division Master Meng Ran roughly guessed what Lin Ming wanted to ask about.

The Yongzhen Sect was a major Righteous Path Sect whose strength was not inferior to Yuanxu Mountain.

"Taken as a Disciple by a Yongzhen Sect Elder?"

Lin Ming asked in surprise.

"Did you not know?"

Division Master Meng Ran was stunned for a moment and asked.

"I didn't. I heard someone in the mountains mention that the Wang Family's heir had contracted a strange illness, so I was curious."

Lin Ming said.

"The strange illness that boy had was indeed peculiar. This old man had never seen anything like it; even Elder Zhao Ming of Yuanxu Mountain was helpless against it."

Division Master Meng Ran nodded.

"However, it is said the Wang Family invited a mysterious expert from somewhere who cured the boy's illness. Afterward, he was scouted by a traveling Yongzhen Sect Elder and taken as a Disciple. Truly a stroke of good luck."

That so-called 'mysterious expert' was, of course, Lin Ming.

He had happened upon the knowledge of the Wang heir's illness by chance, and at that time, the Wang Family had something he needed. It was simply a fair exchange.

Furthermore, that 'strange illness' wasn't really an illness, but a special constitution.

That Yongzhen Sect Elder certainly had good luck, picking up a bargain like that.

Lin Ming didn't particularly care about it.

About an hour later, the carriage stopped.

They had arrived at their destination.

Moonlit Pavilion.

"Is this a brothel?"

Su Lianxue stepped out of the carriage and spoke while looking at the Moonlit Pavilion before her.

Clearly, this Moonlit Pavilion was a brothel, and the largest one in Yan Capital at that.

Glancing over, one could see women in revealing clothes and beautiful Faces moving about the upper floors.

Many men were also entering and leaving the establishment.

"Junior Brother Zhu really found a good place for me."

Lin Ming shook his head.

However, according to the positioning of the Demon Seeking Array Disc, the Moonlit Pavilion was indeed the best location.

"Isn't Senior Brother a regular at brothels?"

Su Lianxue looked at Lin Ming, smiling slightly as she teased him.

"Stop listening to that girl Yu Yaoqin's nonsense,"

Lin Ming said irritably.

As expected, he couldn't let his Junior Sister spend too much time with that girl Yu Yaoqin; she would pick up bad habits.

What did she mean by 'regular'? He had visited brothels only three times in total, and each time was merely to listen to music and appreciate the dancing.

He just happened to be spotted by that girl once by accident.

How did it turn into being a 'regular' once it came out of her mouth?

One could only say that a single slip-up leads to eternal regret.
