31: Chapter 31 I still prefer how arrogant you were just now.

Division Revered Master?

Just these two words alone stunned many people present.

One must know that there is only one person who can be called Division Revered Master, especially in a place like Yan Capital, and that is the Division Revered Master of the Demon Suppression Division.

In an instant, the entire Moonlit Pavilion suddenly fell silent.

The smile on the madam's face vanished, replaced by a trace of terror.

If it really was that person, then there would be big trouble.

Why would such a person appear in a place like the Moonlit Pavilion, and what was the identity of this Young Man?

"Lord Division Revered Master? How could the Division Revered Master of the Demon Suppression Division appear in a place like this?"

A hint of panic appeared in Yu Xia's expression, but he managed to steady his emotions.

How could the Division Revered Master of the Demon Suppression Division possibly appear in such a place?

It was absolutely impossible.

"Rebellious Disciple, are you coming down yourself, or should I invite you down?"

Division Master Meng Ran ignored Yu Xia, his gaze looking upstairs as he spoke calmly.

The next second, a Young Man jumped directly down from the upper floor.

"Revered Master."

He walked up to Division Master Meng Ran with a look of slight embarrassment and greeted him.

Upon seeing this person, Yu Xia's entire body slumped to the ground.

This person was none other than the seventh Disciple of the Demon Suppression Division Revered Master.

This meant that the old man really was the Demon Suppression Division Revered Master. Thinking back to his attitude when speaking to them just now...

Yu Xia knew everything was over.

After confirming that this elderly man was indeed the Demon Suppression Division Revered Master, the atmosphere on the scene instantly changed.

Almost everyone's gaze was focused on Division Master Meng Ran.

They wanted to know why such a figure would appear here.

"Revered Master, why would an elder like you appear in a place like this?"

Mo Wuhen asked somewhat cautiously.

Had he failed to check the almanac before leaving home? To think he would run into his own Revered Master even while visiting a brothel.

Initially, when he saw his Revered Master, Mo Wuhen suspected he had seen wrong. After confirming he hadn't, he had intended to slip away.

But he felt as if something was watching him, and at that moment, he knew he had been discovered by his Revered Master.

Additionally, Mo Wuhen glanced at Lin Ming.

He didn't recall seeing this person in the Demon Suppression Division. Combined with what the person had just said...

Could this be another Disciple Revered Master had abducted from somewhere?

Was he about to have a Junior Brother?

"Clear the Moonlit Pavilion. Everyone is to leave. As for Prince Ming's Manor, someone will go and explain things to His Highness Prince Ming."

Division Master Meng Ran's aged voice echoed throughout the Moonlit Pavilion.

This time, no one dared to question his words. This was the Demon Suppression Division Revered Master, a being whose cultivation had reached the Peak of the Spirit Treasury Realm, and was said to already have half a foot in the Bitter Sea Realm.

The guests left the Moonlit Pavilion one by one in a hurry, leaving only the girls behind, feeling a bit at a loss.

"Girls, let's go."

After a moment of silence, the madam was forced to speak these words.

As things stood, she had no room to refuse. She was just a small brothel manager facing the Demon Suppression Division Revered Master.

It was no exaggeration to say that she usually didn't even have the qualification to see him, let alone refuse him.

The group of girls followed the madam's lead and left the Moonlit Pavilion.

Only Yu Xia remained slumped on the ground, his face showing unconcealed panic.

He now wished he could slap himself several times. Why did he have to stick his head out?

Was this something he could get involved in?

Endless regret flooded his heart.

"Why is the son of our Minister of Revenue still sitting on the ground? Do you have an objection to our decision?"

Lin Ming looked at Yu Xia sitting on the ground and continued to tease him.

He still preferred Yu Xia's somewhat arrogant look from earlier. Seeing him so deflated now was a bit boring.

"No, absolutely not."

Yu Xia scrambled up in a panic and walked out, trembling slightly.

"This Yu Xia is indeed the son of the Minister of Revenue, but he's only the second son. It's said that his father has already given up on him."

Mo Wuhen glanced at Yu Xia's departing back and explained to Lin Ming.

Just an unflavored son, yet he dared to be arrogant toward the Demon Suppression Division, and even toward his Revered Master's head.

Mo Wuhen could already foresee this fellow's end.

The Moonlit Pavilion had been cleared.

Now, inside the entire Moonlit Pavilion, there were only four people: Lin Ming, Su Lianxue, Division Master Meng Ran, and Mo Wuhen.

"Go guard the entrance. Don't let anyone in,"

Division Master Meng Ran said to his underachieving Disciple.

"On it! With me here, no one gets in."

Mo Wuhen dashed to the entrance of the Moonlit Pavilion like he had grease on his feet, standing guard like a sentry.

Subsequently, Lin Ming took out the Demon Seeking Array Disc.

He placed medium-grade origin stones into the Demon Seeking Array Disc one by one, allowing it to absorb the Origin Qi within them.

After about fifteen minutes.

The Demon Seeking Array Disc left his hand and floated into the air, the patterns on the Formation Plate gradually glowing with a red light.

"Now we just wait,"

Lin Ming said.

Once the others were ready, the Formation could be activated.

After the Formation was enabled, it would also take a certain amount of time to conduct the search.

...

Prince Ming's Manor

A pot-bellied middle-aged man lay in the courtyard, with several beautiful women attending to him.

"My Lord."

At this moment, someone appeared behind him.

"Speak."

Prince Ming, Prince Ming, slowly opened his eyes and spoke.

The person reported the events at the Moonlit Pavilion to Prince Ming.

"Meng Ran? Is my Royal Brother about to move against me?"

Prince Ming's brow furrowed.

He was just an idle prince living his carefree days, yet even so, his Royal Brother wanted to act against him?

"My Lord, I'm afraid this matter is related to Yuanxu Mountain."

The person continued.

The person then reported the news of the State Preceptor bringing people into the Royal City and the subsequent lockdown of the city to the Prince.

"Have everyone withdraw. Let the Moonlit Pavilion close temporarily."

Prince Ming smiled.

Since it involved Yuanxu Mountain, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't believe that an idle prince like himself would be worth Yuanxu Mountain's attention.

"Yes."

A series of events, including Yuanxu Mountain and the Royal City lockdown, were placed on the tables of various major powers and cultivation clans.

Most chose to remain silent about this, as Yuanxu Mountain was not something they could afford to offend.

Although they were somewhat curious, many went directly to the palace, hoping to learn some relevant information from their King.

...

"The people from Yuanxu Mountain sure move fast."

"My Lord, it's confirmed. That Disciple of Peak Master Zichen is among them."

"Very well. You wretched woman, I'll collect some interest from your Disciple first."

A wanton laugh echoed throughout the room.

"Is everything ready?"

"My Lord, we only await your command."
