Chapter 459

~6 min read 1,033 words

Strong enough that these forces would not dare to provoke them.

Then today's events would not have happened.

Previously, he had some regrets about participating in the events of five years ago.

After all, if he hadn't participated in the events of five years ago, he wouldn't have provoked an existence as powerful as the Ghost.

But now, he had no regrets at all.

If he hadn't participated in the events of five years ago, military power would have been completely held in Ying Mo's hands.

If that were the case, it would be difficult for their Wang family to develop upward.

When military power and imperial power are completely concentrated in the hands of one person,

the entire world would become a place where one person's word is law.

For the ambitious Wang Ben, this was an intolerable thing.

He longed to surpass his father and bring the entire Wang family to an unattainable height.

As long as he suppresses the current humiliation,

once this matter is completed, he will definitely avenge today's grudge.

Narrowing his eyes, he hid all the thoughts in his heart.

He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

The tea was ice-cold, just like the coldness in his heart.

However, he didn't mind at all.

………

After the black-clad man left the Wang Fu, he immediately transmitted the news to Ying Mo.

At this moment, Ying Mo was just preparing to retire for the night.

Knock, knock, knock…

"Young Master."

A knocking sound rang out outside the door, and at the same time, Lu Li's voice sounded.

"Enter."

Ying Mo sat up from the bed.

His long hair, draped down, slowly slid across his chest.

"Important news from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

Lu Li lowered his head, exposing his neck.

"Speak."

He draped a cloak casually over his body.

"News from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

"Wang Ben left the Wang Fu late at night through the secret passage."

Lu Li said.

Ying Mo did not reply, only casting a glance at Lu Li.

This faint glance immediately made Lu Li understand Ying Mo's meaning.

"That subordinate from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion saw Wang Ben disappear near the rockery, but simply could not find the Wang Fu's secret passage."

"He tested for a long time but could not find the location of the mechanism."

Lu Li continued.

Upon hearing this, Ying Mo's interest was slightly piqued.

The people of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion are all specially trained.

Even if they don't know the specific path of these mechanisms, they can still discern some clues.

To say they were completely clueless is impossible.

"Is this true?"

Ying Mo said.

"That subordinate from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion checked for a long time and was indeed clueless."

"Let Lu Bing go; I want to see what means are hidden in this Wang Fu."

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ying Mo's mouth.

He released the news, and not long after, Wang Ben made a move.

Doesn't this prove that the Wang Fu is also one of the culprits?

However, he wouldn't take such a small culprit to heart.

He now wants to rely on these people to probe out the big fish hiding behind them.

Previously, he used Li Si to draw out the two big fish behind them.

Unfortunately, he only discovered the identity of Bei Mingzi; the identity of the other person remains unknown to him to this day.

"This game is truly becoming more and more interesting."

Ying Mo's eyes brightened.

Lu Bing also quickly received Ying Mo's message.

The moment he received the message, he immediately rushed toward the Wang Fu.

Time is everything now; he must find Wang Ben's whereabouts in the shortest possible time.

The subordinate from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had long been waiting near the Wang Fu for Lu Bing's arrival.

He knew that once the news was passed up, someone would definitely come to handle the situation here.

"Specific location."

Lu Bing said indifferently upon seeing this subordinate.

The black-clad man immediately led Lu Bing to the previous rockery location.

The two entered the heavily guarded Wang Fu as if it were an empty place.

· ·····Seeking flowers· ··

The patrolling guards did not discover their tracks at all.

"My lord, Wang Ben disappeared right here."

The black-clad man pointed to a spot and said to Lu Bing.

Lu Bing carefully examined the spot the black-clad man pointed to.

This spot blended perfectly with the surrounding rockery; there was not a single abrupt place.

If he didn't know that this was indeed the location of the mechanism, Lu Bing would never have suspected it.

"Did you see the specific process of disappearance?"

Lu Bing asked the black-clad man beside him after carefully checking the surroundings.

"This subordinate only saw Wang Ben seem to feel around on the rockery, and then his entire figure disappeared in front of me."

"The distance was great, and coupled with the deep night, I couldn't see clearly what he specifically did."

The black-clad man shook his head.

If he had truly seen it clearly, he wouldn't have let Lu Bing come over.

Having received no useful information, Lu Bing could only refocus his gaze on the rockery.

There wasn't even a fine crack in the surroundings.

If it were daytime, Lu Bing might have discovered some special places.

But now it was night; even with the moonlight, the surrounding light was somewhat dim.

Coupled with the fact that they were acting cautiously, it was impossible to use candlelight for illumination.

After testing for a long time, he could not detect the existence of a mechanism here.

Lu Bing's face was also somewhat ugly.

If he couldn't find the mechanism, I fear he would lose Wang Ben's trail.

"Does your Heavenly Secret Pavilion know which properties belong to the Wang family?"

Lu Bing asked with a gloomy face.

Although he didn't know where this secret passage led, as long as the entire Xianyang City was under their control, he would definitely be able to find Wang Ben's trail.

In the end, it would just take a relatively long time. ===== CHAPTER 461 =====
