“Where is the base?” Qiao Mu asked again apathetically.

Jia Zhong’s face showed pain from struggling. Perhaps it was because it was such a critical question that he was acting like this out of an instinctual resistance.

Qiao Mu subsequently stuck a dictum talisman onto him.

Under the urging from both the puppet curse and the dictum talisman, Jia Zhong’s expression finally reverted to calm and he divulged, “It’s… 3 kilometers from the brothel. Under the bridge… underground.”

After saying this, Jia Zhong stopped talking like a puppet.

There was a section of his arm that had rotted so much that bone was exposed. Hence, he was subconsciously suffering from extreme pain and had been furrowing his brows the entire time.

“In that case, Little Junior Sister, there’s no time to lose…”

“We have already alerted them tonight.” Mo Lian stated calmly, “You think those people will wait there for you to go capture them?”

Qiao Mu nodded, concurring with Mo Lian’s statement.

The people in the underground base might have already started moving personnel just as they walked out from Spring Abounding Parlor.

Besides, probably only a small portion was located in that underground base near the brothel. To assemble 100,000 mystic cultivators…

One street was not enough to hide so many people.

Qiao Mu looked at Ye Lingmin. The latter tactfully stood up and said indifferently, “I don’t believe they can run that far. I’ll go take a look.”

“Stand right there.” Qiao Mu swept her a cold look. “You are still as rash as before. You couldn’t even deal with a level-four spiritual cultivator like Jia Zhong today, let alone other people.

“If you just go over rashly like this, it would be sacrificing your life for nothing.”

Ye Lingmin clenched her fists and turned to look at her. “I, investigating the whereabouts of Shuntian Prefecture’s culprit is, is my duty! I will absolutely not let them off.”

Qiao Mu was unmoved. “What else do you want to investigate? Liu Yizhi is dead, Geng Pengcheng has also dissipated into nothingness. The remaining people are just people of no concern. Those that should die, I will not let off any one of them!”

“Geng Pengcheng is dead?”

“The Geng Pengcheng you attempted to assassinate that night is one of my people,” Qiao Mu told her coldly.

Ye Lingmin’s body shook. It was as if all the strength had been pulled out of her body, and she plopped onto the stool, staring off dumbly into the distance.

“I, I investigated for so many years, put in so much effort, yet-yet in the end…”?You just accomplished it with a snap of your fingers!

“Master was right. I am impulsive and rash, and not flexible or intelligent. I don’t even compare to one-thousandth of you.” Ye Lingmin hung her head and sighed woefully.

Qiao Mu looked at her and stated coldly, “Scram before I change my mind.”

“Never show up in front of me again.”

“I… I want to pay my respects to Master and Aunt-Master’s spirit tablets.”

“You don’t deserve to!” Qiao Mu harshly denied her request.

“Little Junior Sister, do you… resent me very much?”

“Yes.” Qiao Mu clenched her fist with an unspeakable melancholy in her heart. “Because of your competitiveness, the entire Holy Water Sect got massacred. Where were you when I was collecting our martial sisters’ corpses? Where were you when I was digging graves for Senior Sister and Aunt-Master and the others? Where were you when I was heaping a mound for them? Where were you when I knelt in front of them and cried my heart out?

“Ye Lingmin, do not think that I will forgive you just because you shed tears in front of me!”
