Before Fu Yunchen could respond, Bai Shalu asked, "Do you know about the Hongmo Sect?"
Qiao Dongzi looked at them and finally nodded, "I know."
Immediately, all six eyes of the three men were fixed on him.
Qiao Dongzi felt a pang of unease. "What's wrong?"
Zhong Jiu said, "What we're investigating now is the Hongmo Sect. They're plotting to capture the eldest princess and the eldest prince, with ulterior motives."
Qiao Dongzi's face darkened. "I'll take men and wipe them out right now."
Fu Yunchen spoke up, "Wait, what's this Hongmo Sect all about?"
Qiao Dongzi replied, "The Hongmo Sect originated in Minzhou. Zhu Yanrong, boss, do you still remember her?"
Fu Yunchen, "a traitor of the Black Witch Clan, was eventually killed by Long Qian and raised flowers."
"Yes. The first leader of the Hongmo Sect was Zhu Yanrong. Back then, the Hongmo Sect was called the Baiyue Sect. I told the boss about it, do you remember?"
Fu Yunchen hadn't paid much attention, but after thinking about it, he remembered, "I remember it was five years ago."
"It was five years ago. Because the Moon Worship Cult was also helping the imperial court at that time and killed a lot of corpses, the cult was not eradicated. Like some martial arts sects, as long as they did not commit evil deeds, they were allowed to exist. Later, Zhu Yanrong died, and the Moon Worship Cult changed its name to the Flood Demon Cult and quickly disappeared."
Fu Yunchen nodded. "The formation in the dry well is a summoning formation. They probably want to use summoning magic to summon something. Goufu is just a pawn in their game."
"Is Goufu a chess piece?"
"It's very likely that this Hongmo Sect, like Goufu, is just a pawn. The real mastermind hasn't shown their face yet." Fu Yunchen thought about the events that had happened on the continent over the years, and it seemed as if a huge conspiracy was shrouding the continent in the shadows.
Thinking of this, Fu Yunchen said to Bai Shalu, "Using the pretext that a valuable treasure has been lost from the palace, search the entire capital, especially those abandoned houses and uninhabited places. I want to make those shady moles move. Also, issue a reward. Our informants are ultimately limited, but the common people on the streets are the most perceptive of suspicious people."
Bai Shalu immediately accepted the order, "Yes. When do we move out?"
Fu Yunchen said, "Let's do it early tomorrow morning. Everyone should get a good rest tonight."
The three responded in unison.
...
Mu Run yawned, listening to the sounds within a hundred meters around him.
Ever since the black-clad assassin appeared in the study, she has become much more cautious, keeping her hearing sharp at all times, so that she will know if there are any unfamiliar footsteps or suspicious movements.
Fu Yunchen's footsteps came into her ear's range.
A gentle and reassuring smile appeared on her face.
After taking a bath, Fu Yunchen entered the hall wearing a loose and comfortable bathrobe.
Seeing that Mu Run was still awake, she said, "The children are all asleep, why aren't you resting yet?"
"I've been waiting for you." Mu Run shifted closer to the couch, making way for him to lie down. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Fu Yunchen paused, then chuckled, "How did you know?"
“I feel,” Mu Run replied.
"There is something I need to tell you." Fu Yunchen got onto the bed, first taking her pulse to make sure it was normal, before saying, "A cult has appeared in the capital."
"A cult? Does it involve murder and killing?" Mu Run asked.
"Yes, quite a few have already been killed."
"Then what are you even saying to me? Just wipe them out! This kind of cult is a menace if it stays around for even a day!"
