Lin Bai took a deep breath, stopped blocking the investigation of Li Guxian, and acquiesced to Prince Liang's arrangement.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's act according to the plan."
"Zhao Xingsi and the Forbidden Army are still acting openly, and intentionally or unintentionally leaked the news to the imperial capital that Emperor Chu wanted to investigate the five families, seven sects and the royal family of Chu State, causing the reaction of Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"Next, I will distribute the list of key suspects to Lord Lang, Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue, and Chu Zimo."
"The four of you will each bring your own troops and begin a focused investigation."
"Within three days, you must check all the people on the list; then, you each exchange the list and check again."
Prince Liang made appropriate arrangements.
The Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army made a noise in the open, which aroused the vigilance of Jiuyou Demon Palace and asked them to move to a safe place.
And this absolutely safe place is most likely within the private residences of the five families, seven sects and the royal family of Chu State.
Lin Bai, Chu Tinghan and others were secretly investigating.
If Zhao Xingsi and the Forbidden Army are like a net for fishing, then Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan are like a knife for killing fish.
"Follow orders."
Lin Bai, Chu Tinghan and others stood up to take orders.
"Time waits for us not. We don't have much time to waste."
"I'm sorry, I can't give you any more time to prepare. From the moment you walk out of Prince Liang's Mansion, take action immediately."
Prince Liang acted vigorously and resolutely, announcing that Lin Bai and others would leave to start the operation as soon as they walked out of Prince Liang's Mansion.
Lin Bai, Chu Tinghan and others also knew that every second counts now.
They must rush to investigate all the five, seven sects and royal families of the Chu State in the imperial capital before the sect family leaders who come to the imperial capital to hold them accountable arrive, to ensure that after these sect leaders arrive, the Nine Nether Demon Palace can no longer disrupt the situation.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Prince Liang looked around the audience and asked quietly.
Everyone remained silent, indicating that they had no objections.
"In that case..."
"let's start!"
Prince Liang leaned back in his chair, and a chilling air filled the air.
"Follow orders."
"Then we, the Criminal Division and the Forbidden Army, will take action first."
Several commanders of the Zhaoxing Division and several commanders of the Forbidden Army stood up, saluted and left.
The next moment, people from the Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army were swarming around the imperial capital, searching for the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Zhao Xingsi and the Imperial Guard were also very smart, so they naturally did not reveal the "fact of the existence of the Nine Nether Demon Palace". They just investigated the existence of the Nine Nether Demon Palace on the pretext of hunting down cults and demons.
"Master Langhou, let's get started."
Chu Tinghan came over and handed a list to Lin Bai, "There are more than fifty warriors on this list, including disciples of the five families and seven sects of Chu State, as well as members of the royal family!"
"The Wolf Marquis holds the token of the swordsman of the Zhaoxing Division and has the decree of Emperor Chu, so he can conduct a search."
"In three days, I will come back to exchange lists with Lord Langhou."
"good."
Lin Bai agreed simply and straightforwardly. After taking the list, he glanced at it casually and found that most of the names on it were unknown.
Only Tang Wei from the Tianshui Sect is on this list.
Walk out of Prince Liang's Mansion.
At this moment, the moon and stars were sparse. When Lin Bai looked up at the sky, a dark cloud came from nowhere and covered the moonlight.
The sky and the earth were dimmed for an instant.
"It's begun." Lin Bai took a deep breath, led several warriors from the Tianshui Sect and the nine commanders of the Blood Dragon Legion, and walked silently into the darkness of the Imperial Capital. A pair of eyes shone sharply in the darkness.
"Senior Brother Shengzi, where are we going now?"
After walking some distance, Bai Yifei asked in a low voice.
Lin Bai took out the list Chu Tinghan gave him and looked at the name written in the first column!
The five major families in the imperial capital are the Chen family and Chen Baixin.
Seeing this name, Lin Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I didn't expect this person to be Brother Chen's family!"
"Why!"
"Go to Chen's house."
Lin Bai sighed softly and walked towards Chen's house with his men and horses.
~~
The five major families in the imperial capital, the Chen family's mansion.
Chen Yule hurriedly walked through the corridor and came to the door. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I heard Brother Lin coming just after I left the customs. Come in quickly."
"Congratulations to Brother Chen for your improvement in cultivation."
Lin Bai could tell that Chen Yule's cultivation level had reached the peak of the high-grade Taiyi Daoguo realm.
"We broke through some time ago, but we just haven't come out yet."
Chen Yule shook his head and invited Lin Bai into the yamen, but Lin Bai remained unmoved.
"No need, Brother Chen."
"I didn't come here to visit you today."
Lin Bai's face had no expression, but was filled with a serious feeling.
Chen Yule's smile slowly solidified, and he realized that things were not simple, so he asked: "Brother Lin, what happened?"
"I'll tell you the truth." Lin Bai said to Chen Yule, "I want to see Chen Baixin, Chen Yuanshan and Chen Hai from the Chen family."
On the list Chu Tinghan handed to Lin Bai, the first column was Chen Baixin's name.
But on the way to the Chen family, Lin Bai discovered that not only Chen Baixin's name was on the list, but also the names of two other members of the Chen family.
Now that everyone has come to the Chen family, let’s investigate them all in one go.
"Chen Baixin? My cousin?"
"Did he provoke Brother Lin?"
Chen Yule immediately straightened his face and said coldly: "These people in the clan are really getting more and more unruly. My friends, do they dare to provoke me?"
"Brother Lin, please don't get angry. I will deal with them."
Chen Yule was furious. It wasn't like he was pretending, but he seemed really angry.
Lin Bai immediately pulled Chen Yule and said, "They didn't offend me, but... they don't even know me at all."
"Don't know them? So what does Brother Lin want to do with them?"
Chen Yule was stunned for a moment and looked behind Lin Bai from the corner of his eye.
Behind Lin Bai, there were not only Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and many other Tianshui Sect disciples, but also nine strangers in black robes.
Although the nine men in black robes were simply dressed, the experienced Chen Yule still felt a strong evil aura from them!
This feeling is like a butcher in a slaughterhouse or a dead soldier on the battlefield who kills without blinking an eye!
When Chen Yule saw the nine of them, his eyes changed. He realized that these nine people were definitely not disciples of the Tianshui Sect!
"Brother Chen, there is no need to say more."
"Is the person I'm looking for at home?"
Lin Bai did not explain too much, but asked Chen Yule.
Chen Yule had already realized that the matter was not simple, so he said: "It should be at the house, but the Chen family is very big. I have to send someone to find them to confirm whether they are at the house."
Lin Bai said: "Then please do me a favor, Brother Chen. Don't say I'm the one asking them, just say... you have something to ask them for help."
"Okay." Chen Yule did not refuse, but directly agreed.
