Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 884 - 475: Soul Hook Bell! (Part 2)

What exactly did Dark Moon do to offend the Three Judicial Departments?

As for colluding with Hidden Kill... hmph! No need to think too hard, it’s certain. However, given their style, they would not leave any evidence.

"Brother, I’m only going to investigate, I won’t act recklessly, and I absolutely won’t bring trouble to the family."

"After I’ve investigated, no matter the outcome, I’ll inform you in advance."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chong fell silent.

He knew Shen Xuan’s death had always been a knot in his heart. For so many years, Shen Xuan was the brother he held in the highest regard and shared the best relationship with him.

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, he said, "Go then."

If he doesn’t go, this knot would never be untied, and he’d be unable to progress further in his life.

"But..."

Shen Chong looked at him seriously, "Don’t act recklessly, or I’ll personally bring you back. If you cause trouble for the family, I won’t hesitate to take action."

"I understand."

With that, he headed straight for the passageway, transforming into a stream of light and swiftly flying towards rMolan Mansion as soon as he left the Imperial City.

"I hope this is the last time."

Shen Chong’s gaze turned towards the direction of rMolan Mansion and murmured.

"Do not speak of tonight’s events to anyone."

"Yes, Commander!"

A voice echoed quietly from the shadows.

As the Grand Commander of the Imperial Army, it was the Imperial Army that guarded the outskirts of the Imperial City, and this passage was exclusively used by them.

That’s why Shen Tong dared to take this path.

Otherwise, anyone who dared to enter this passage without permission would be executed on the spot.

....

Moran City.

"Second Elder, even Nine Moon Mansion has started to take action; nearly half of it is sealed off now."

Though it was the dead of night, the room was as bright as day.

A middle-aged man in a white robe seemed agitated.

He was the steward of Nine Moon Mansion and came here at the first possible moment when the incident occurred.

He had already tried with the Three Judicial Departments of Nine Moon Mansion, but they were entirely unresponsive.

With no option left, he came here for assistance.

"As far as I know, one of Prince Xuan’s wives is the eldest daughter of the Gu Family from Nine Moon Mansion."

Jiang Qi spoke slowly.

"Which implies this has some undeniable connection with Prince Xuan."

The Second Elder’s voice was deep, and at this moment, he was truly furious; it was simply outrageous.

"Shen Tong has already headed to rMolan Mansion."

Just then, Jiang Yudao’s voice came from the Communication Spirit Talisman in Jiang Qi’s hand.

"What about those people?"

"They’re unwilling to take action!"

"Hmph!"

The Second Elder snorted coldly, "Tell them, if they don’t act, then they shouldn’t blame Dark Moon for being unsentimental."

How many among those people from Great Yu have clean slates?

"And tell them, if Dark Moon collapses, there will be no more Heart Cleansing Pills in the future!"

A pathetic lot, only slightly better than puppets.

"Do we really have to proceed this way?"

In the Imperial City, Jiang Yudao was somewhat hesitant. If they tore each other apart, Dark Moon’s many years of painstaking management could crumble instantly.

"Let’s wait and see."

Jiang Yudao advised, "See if Shen Tong will actually take action against him."

"You’re being too simplistic."

The Second Elder spoke coldly, unwilling to place the entire matter on Shen Tong alone.

The pressure on Dark Moon now wasn’t only from the Three Judicial Departments or Prince Xuan.

Other firms had begun to stir.

More importantly, this wasn’t just happening at rMolan Mansion and Nine Moon Mansion.

It’s the same in other mansions across Great Yu.

If this matter isn’t handled well, it could be catastrophic for Dark Moon.

"Just proceed as instructed. Disobedient dogs are useless!"

Listening to the voice from the Communication Spirit Talisman, Jiang Yudao sighed internally.

"Understood."

In Dark Moon, he was neither at the same level in terms of status nor strength as the Second Elder. Since the Elder had made up his mind, he had no choice but to comply.

After the communication ended.

The Second Elder’s expression was as dark as water, and at this, Jiang Qi and another stood to the side, slightly bowing their heads, not daring to utter a word.

Yet even so, their backs were completely drenched.

"I’ll head back to headquarters; you two keep an eye on things. Any news, inform me immediately!"

"Yes!"

The two in unison answered with their heads lowered. Only after the Second Elder left did they slowly raise their heads.

"Phew—"

"Phew—"

They let out long breaths.

"If I had known, I wouldn’t have come here."

Yan Que smiled bitterly, thinking that staying with the Second Elder was worse than staying at Nine Moon Mansion.

"Alas!"

Jiang Qi let out a long sigh, looking at him, "If this issue isn’t handled well, Dark Moon’s trouble will be enormous."

"I never imagined Prince Xuan had such influence that he could even mobilize Nine Moon Mansion’s Three Judicial Departments."

"Yes! It’s somewhat mysterious."

Yan Que nodded; even if his wife was from the Gu Family of Nine Moon Mansion, rendering them close, there existed a divide between a Mansion lord and the Three Judicial Departments wherein neither commanded the other.

Yet, peculiarly... the Three Judicial Departments from two Mansions both took action.

There was something undeniably intriguing, but what exactly was it?

"This Prince Xuan indeed seems strange. Have you investigated his background?"

Yan Que asked.

"Yes, superficially it all seems very normal, but it’s too normal."

"Which means something’s fishy, yet there’s no evidence?"

"You could say so."

Jiang Qi felt helpless. Regardless of the methods used, there was no trace of evidence.

Moreover, he suspected that this Prince Xuan had connections to the past incident of the Southern King seeking out members of the Ning Family.

But no evidence could ever be found.

He wouldn’t be in this troublesome situation otherwise.

"Could he be the love child of some significant figure?"
