Chapter 540 The Candle Dragon Cult
Liu Xuan was extrely prudent in doing things. These elders were watched separately, and their disciples were detained in isolation.
On the way, Lin ngya asked and learned that Liu Xuan had brought 3,000 people.
“I, a lowly official, ca with the emperor’s order. The emperor guessed that so people in the Pavilion of Herbs might harm you and the prince, so the emperor ordered to co to the rescue with the Imperial Guards.”
Lin ngya nodded. “With amazing wit, Cousin Chen has been devising strategies in the dark for a long ti. The reason why he hasn’t appeared now should be that he has other things to do.”
“How did you know that Liu Xuan would bring people here, ngya?”
These people took a short rest and reorganized a bit in the yard.
Liu Xuan had left a squad of soldiers to protect them from being harassed by anyone.
If there were no others, Long Tianyu would naturally show his puzzle with a question.
“In fact, I just had so hunches. Besides, Xiu could co in easily, so I think that was a signal to from Cousin Chen.”
The Pavilion of Herbs was no ordinary place. In normal tis, a foreigner like Xiu could not go through its gate easily, let alone coming to live in it.
But Xiu not only ca in but also brought people here to deliver things.
This further proved that her cousin was about to deal with the Pavilion of Herbs, so a few planted agents that had not been exposed previously had gradually gone public now.
But Nan Rui and his companions still focused on struggling to get the Chief Elder’s qualification.
To their surprise, today’s ruling of the Pavilion of Herbs had changed dramatically.
“What are you going to do next?”
Standing in front of Lin ngya, Long Tianyu asked softly.
Now Zuo Qiuchen had arranged everything, and Lin ngya could naturally follow the trend to do things.
But those troublemakers who concocted the Immortal Powder had fled. This was great trouble.
“Of course, I’ll interrogate these damn old n. Since we found the people in the backyard of the Pavilion of Herbs, it must have sothing to do with them.”
Once this matter was ntioned, Lin ngya felt quite angry.
She had fully thought that she could find the traces of the other party through this surprise attack, but she hadn’t expected that she had still been a bit slower.
It seed that she had never won completely since she had the contest of strength with that mysterious force.
Unexpectedly, her desire to win had been stimulated.
“But have you thought that they were left maybe because they don’t know about the inside information?”
Long Tianyu was calr than Lin ngya was, so he began comforting her in turn.
She definitely knew that the disposition of her opponents showed that they would have killed the four guys a long ti ago if they knew the inside information.
“By the way, there is also Xiu. You should hurriedly send people to track down and arrest Xiu in the whole city. This ti they could give up the Pavilion of Herbs, but perhaps they didn’t run away in a panic!”
Lin ngya suddenly realized it. “The move of Liu Xuan and Cousin Chen must have been quite secretive. Even if the other party had gotten the information in advance, how could they have been able to withdraw a few days ago? Unless—the formula of the Immortal Powder has been completely found through testing.”
As she shrank her pupils slightly, Lin ngya realized that if the Immortal Powder’s formula had truly been completely perfected, then it might be more and more difficult for her to stop them again.
If so, it was easy to explain everything.
Previously, it should be this mysterious organization that had gone to the mbers of the Pavilion of Herbs.
They had asked these people to cover them by providing them with martial arts or financial resources.
Then, the Pavilion of Herbs had beco the delivery reservoir of dical talents of that force.
That force had then beco the protection net of the mbers of the Pavilion of Herbs.
She guessed that Nan Rui and his companions had probably just wanted to rely on the power of that force to take the Chief Elder’s position in the end.
Since they had now accomplished their work, naturally there was no need to let the Pavilion of Herbs, their drag, continue to exist.
Moreover, the person behind the scenes must have predicted that Zuo Qiuchen’s patience with the Pavilion of Herbs had reached the limit!
In this case, Zuo Qiuchen could sort out the awful ss for him.
Besides, restrained by the Pavilion of Herbs, Zuo Qiuchen was sure to have no energy to find out the person behind the scenes.
When he realized it, the force would have re-concealed itself for a long ti.
What a great sche! It could even toy with the monarch of a kingdom.
“Huh, it turns out to be like this. Its strategy was perfectly coherent. I deserve the failure.”
Lin ngya was never a person who would go to extres.
A failure was nothing so serious, and she just needed to win next ti.
That force had done it perfectly, but unfortunately, nothing is flawless in the world.
“Long Tianyu, leave the affairs here to Liu Xuan to handle. Let’s pack and go ho in a few days.”
Suddenly, Lin ngya didn’t want to interrogate the four elders anymore.
Instead, she looked at Long Tianyu with a little relaxed smile.
“You—OK, I listen to you.”
His confusion only existed for a mont.
Seeing that Lin ngya’s eyes brightened again, Long Tianyu knew that this girl had thought it through.
“OK, you people and Liu Xuan tackle the affairs here first. Let and Xiu go outside, but we’ll be back soon.”
After they had moved here and there for such a long ti, it was half dark.
Long Tianyu was worried, but with Xiu and the elite soldiers protecting her, she wouldn’t be in danger.
The Pavilion of Herbs had been turned upside down, but the outside was still as quiet and peaceful as ever.
The ordinary people didn’t care about the change of power within the Pavilion of Herbs.
But those aristocratic families that had been attached to it in the past were quite shocked.
“Co back early, and take care.”
After the instruction, Long Tianyu watched the two leave.
The atmosphere suddenly turned stiff.
Zuo Qiuyu and Long Tianyu pretended to have a relaxed expression, but it disappeared instantly.
After looking at each other silently, they left for separate ways.
“Have you gotten the information I asked you to track down, Night?”
In the living room, Long Tianyu stood straight, but his figure contained the frightful coldness secretly.
“I’ve got it. The assassination of the prince and the princess is closely connected to an organization called Candle Dragon Cult, but it disappeared 30 years ago. Yet, I found during the investigation that the contact ans and the style of doing things these people use are so much like those of the previous Candle Dragon Cult. However, so many years have passed, so I can’t make sure of it.”
Being quite smart, Long Tianyu had perceived the abnormality of it a long ti ago.
Therefore, he had sent the best of his n to track it down.
Unexpectedly, he just found a na that should have disappeared 30 years ago.
“Candle Dragon Cult? Can you track it down? As for those who have been withdrawn from the Pavilion of Herbs, you should ask your n to watch them closely.”
“Sure, I’ve asked our n to keep a close eye on them. But they are quite vigilant, so our n can only follow them far behind. They boarded a ship last night. It seems that they were heading for the Lieyun Kingdom.”
Long Tianyu frowned after hearing Night’s words.
The Nation of Lintian was surrounded by the sea on three sides. More importantly, an extrely important port was not far away from the old capital.
They had taken the waterway, so they might have made the plan long ago.
On the vast sea, it was quite difficult for his n to follow them, who would find his n even if his n were slightly careless.
“Keep watching. Learning where they are heading is enough. Don’t be greedy and advance rashly. If you are found, co back imdiately.”
“Yes, prince.”
Night instantly disappeared from Long Tianyu’s presence.
“Candle Dragon Cult?” Long Tianyu was pondering the three words.
Previously, he had heard his master speak of it, saying that the organization had appeared hundreds of years ago.
But as ti went by, its original purpose had long been lost.
30 years ago, it had been a cult that committed all kinds of evil acts.
Later, the people of the Jianghu and the imperial court had destroyed the Candle Dragon Cult in one fell swoop together.
Unexpectedly, they even made a coback 30 years later.
But what was the Candle Dragon Cult planning this ti?
It was not that he wanted to hide it from Lin ngya, but that this was too dangerous. He didn’t want her to take risks anymore.
This ti, he must exterminate the danger in the dark!
In the old capital, Lin ngya and his companions were a little conspicuous.
Although it was already evening, she and Xiu’s looks were in the first class in the old capital.
One was delicate and nice, and the other was cute and witty. Besides, they were dressed in fine clothes and followed by several strong and capable guards.
Therefore, this group of people was just like so noble lady’s night tour procession.
“What are you looking for, Sister Princess? Do you need my help?”
Xiu looked at Lin ngya suspiciously. Since they ca out of the Pavilion of Herbs, the latter had been slling the surrounding air hard.
Although her Sister Princess’s posture was not elegant, Xiu thought that she must be looking for sothing by sll.
“It is the place where you saw Sui last ti. I want to know where she has gone. Where did you see her, by the way?”
The people in the backyard had run away, and the four Chief Elders were just abandoned people. Even if she tried all the thods she knew, she estimated that they would not be able to offer more valuable information.
Even if there was any, it was not urgent to get it now.
Liu Xuan had put lots of his n in his arrangent a long ti ago, so it was almost impossible for sothing like killing to silence witnesses to have happened.
Moreover, the other party had covered itself and restrained the Nation of Lintian, so she didn’t need to worry about the current arrangents about the four elders.
Sui must have not left yet; otherwise, Long Tianyu’s man would have co back to report.
Since she was in the old capital, she might as well ferret Sui out. Otherwise, she would always feel that her chest was a bit gagged by sothing.
“Oh, I rember I saw her outside a private bank. Go and let take you there.”
Xiu imdiately took Lin ngya’s hand and walked fast down the street.
But when the procession went past a hospital, Lin ngya suddenly stopped outside it.
“Wait. Sothing seems to be happening.”
