Si Ying remained alone in the fortress, with a sinister and cold glint in her eyes.

He knew better than anyone that the Silu family, although seemingly still powerful, was actually weak and corrupt, and no longer capable of facing any of the neutral great families head-on.

This intrusion into the Lingxi region was just a pretext for intelligence gathering; the real goal is to win favor and divide, take revenge, and seize the initiative.

If it can be confirmed that David is hiding in Lingxi, then we can use this as a bargaining chip to find out that the Lingxi family is harboring a fugitive, or force the Lingxi family to hand over David.

Either forcing the Lingxi family to defect and submit to Silu, or whatever the result, it would greatly benefit the down-and-out Silu.

As the night progressed, the bustle in Lingxi Mansion continued non-stop.

Unbeknownst to anyone, beneath all the pomp and celebration, a deadly undercurrent is quietly stirring, and a secret contest over the fate of the heavens, the survival of families, and the lives and deaths of individuals has begun.

On the west side of the Lingxi family’s mansion, there was a secluded courtyard for servants.

A middle-aged deacon, wearing a gray robe, with a gloomy face and eyes that hid hatred and bitterness, paced restlessly in the courtyard.

This person was called Ling Ji, an elder of the Lingxi family branch. He was responsible for patrolling and securing the mansion’s outer perimeter. He had a long history as a senior member, but had been suppressed by the core faction for many years and had not been given an important position by the head of the family. He had long held grudges and had ambitions.

In the past, when the Si Lu family was at the peak of its glory, he had secretly conspired with Si Lu, providing intelligence about the Lingxi region to Si Lu for many years. He was a traitor hidden within the Lingxi family, which no one knew about.

He had received the coded message and was quietly waiting for the undercover agents to come to him.

A moment later, a dark figure quietly entered the courtyard; he was none other than Si Ying’s master spy.

“Deacon Lingji, how are you?” The spy lowered his voice, his tone cold.

Ling Ji quickly raised his hand to create an isolation barrier to prevent sound from leaking out. His expression looked hurried and alert. He spoke in a low and rapid voice: “You’ve finally come! The Lingxi family has undergone great changes recently. Your guess is correct. David, the fugitive who sparked the bloody battle between Si Lu and Xuan Qiu, is indeed hiding in my Lingxi family!”

Those words made the usually calm and firm detective Si Lu tremble slightly, his eyes immediately sparkling with surprise and joy.

“Is it confirmed? Is it really David himself?”

“So true!”

Ling Ji gritted his teeth and nodded, his eyes filled with complex fear and hatred. “Previously, he used the pseudonym Chen Xuan and entered the Lingxi Region as a fugitive cultivator to save Miss Ling Xiyue.”

The head of the family knew his identity but deliberately hid it. Instead of giving her up, he made every effort to win her heart and treated her to lavish gifts.
