Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan had a cold smile on his face as he watched Jiang Hei's group head down in the elevator.

It almost seemed like everything was coming back full circle.

He wasn't able to kill him back at the store, but now there was no reason not to kill him.

Not to mention, if an elder of the Jiang Family were to die, that would definitely be quite disastrous for them.

As Lin Fan had become stronger, he had slowly developed the pride of an expert and he had never forgotten the way Jiang Hei had treated him back at the shop.

His main mission was still to destroy this slave trade base, but since Jiang Hei was offering himself, why wouldn't he take this bait?

But that was also a strange thing.

Even if the fourth elder was clearly incompetent, he was still one of the few elders of the Jiang Family. Why would he suddenly appear here for no reason?

That was unless there was something happening in the Jiang Family.

Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that unsettled feeling once again.

After waiting a few minutes, they headed out. It was easy to take care of the guards at the elevator, but the hard part was how to get down.

Finally, Lin Fan used the same shadow laws once again to hide them in the elevator since there was the chance of there being guards at the bottom as well.

And as expected, his intuition was correct. There were a pair of guards right at the bottom of the elevator just like up top. However, since Lin Fan was prepared, the moment the elevator opened, the guards were confused as they looked in to see no one, but they soon met an invisible fist that knocked them out.

Not only had they knocked out the guards at the elevator, they had also taken their uniforms and had some of his subordinates change into them. After all, these were only low level guards, it wasn't like anyone would remember their faces.

They walked out of the tunnel that the elevator was in and there was another pair of guards standing there, but this time, these guards weren't knocked out.

The guards outside the tunnel just looked at these four guards before going back to their own duties.

These guards tried to interact with each other as little as possible since they did work for a slave trade base. This was something that most of these guards had reservations about since this business was about buying and selling their own race. Of course, they had no choice in this matter since this was a business that paid well and they all had families to take care of. The only thing they could do was separate this business from their lives as much as possible.

For now, while Lin Fan had information on this base, he didn't actually have any information on the interior since this was a heavily guarded facility for the Jiang Family. So for now, what he had the four subordinates do was spread out to case out the place while he moved around with the main group by himself.

What they needed to know the most was how many troops were actually stationed in this slave trade base.

Lin Fan was going to destroy this place, but rushing in without a plan was never a good idea. Not to mention that there was something strange that even required an elder

If there was a need, he could have Brainy contact them with the mice puppets that he had placed on them.

So just like that, they began moving through the base.

Lin Fan's group had to move slowly since they were hiding themselves with the shadow law, but that didn't matter since there was plenty of information all around them.

The main hallway was well chiseled, clearly having a lot of work being put into it to make it look as good as it did, but that was where it ended. There were various different doors along this hallway and behind those doors was plenty of damning evidence.

There was a room filled with cages behind each one and the state of these rooms were abysmal. Each cage only had a bit of straw on the ground and bowls filled with food that seemed to be rotten. The most important thing was that each of these cages contained one person who was covered in rags, lying on the ground without any energy.

These people varied in terms of age and gender, going from kids that were only a few years old to old people who were clearly about to keel over.

The only people that were missing were young and beautiful girls, as well as healthy kids…

It wasn't hard to imagine why those groups would be missing.

But to not even let off kids…

The people of this world had this kind of preference as shown by before when people had thought that Lin Fan had brought Song Shu home for "that".

Lin Fan was of course no saint and he definitely wasn't strong enough to control this entire world, so there was nothing he could do to stop this. That was unless it happened right in front of his face.

But that was just how this world was, there were plenty of things that Lin Fan couldn't control right now.

But even if he didn't do anything, that didn't mean that he wasn't against it.

Not even sparing kids, the Jiang Family really did touch a bottom line for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan turned to look at Jiang Zhi Shu and his eyes were a bit cold this time.

Jiang Zhi Shu had the same shocked look as his men. He was a smart person, so he could clearly draw the same inferences as Lin Fan just by observing the situation in the cage. He could also feel Lin Fan's gaze at him and he quickly said, "Boss, I really didn't know about any of this. When I saw the report, I was just as shocked as you."

Lin Fan then said, "Who is in charge of this then?"

Jiang Zhi Shu just shook his head with a desolate look, "I really don't know. If I did, I definitely would have stopped it."

Lin Fan looked around again and said in a doubtful voice, "Something like this couldn't have been finished in just a single day, you and I both know that."

Jiang Zhi Shu of course could hear the implication in his voice, so he said with a serious look, "Boss, I swear on my name that I definitely didn't know a thing about this."

Lin Fan looked at him for a bit longer before finally giving a nod.

It was at this time that Brainy suddenly spoke to Lin Fan.

"Master, one of my puppets is responding. It seems like one of them has found something."

Lin Fan immediately said in his mind, "Where?"

Brainy quickly led Lin Fan through the base based on its spiritual sense and soon they arrived at where the subordinate was waiting.

Lin Fan tapped the subordinate on the shoulder who immediately tensed up, but then the subordinate realized what had happened.

The subordinate immediately stood as naturally as he could, but he was also whispering to himself which seemed unnatural.

The subordinate said, "Boss, I saw the cloaked figures from the elevator go into that room over there."

Lin Fan nodded before having the rest of his subordinates wait by the wall with the subordinate in uniform. After enveloping them with shadow laws, Lin Fan headed off towards the room.

The door wasn't even closed, which showed just how confident they were in their own territory. They never would have suspected that a spy would have been able to come in here this easily.

The fourth elder Jiang Hei and his men were gathered around a table with cards and liquor in front of them. By the way they were acting, it didn't seem like they were in a slave trade base, it almost seemed like they were just having a friendly poker night.

But the contents of their discussion was far from friendly.

When Lin Fan had just come into the room, the fourth elder Jiang Hei suddenly said, "Jiang Zhi Shu."

Lin Fan was shocked when he heard this, he almost thought that they had been discovered, but then Jiang Hei continued.

"They think that it was Jiang Zhi Shu who led the attacks on our businesses."

One of his followers said, "But elder, how could Jiang Zhi Shu beat Jiang Feng? He was expelled from the family long ago and without the resources of the family, how could he reach the point where he could fight Jiang Feng?"

Jiang Hei shook his head, "I don't know, but I don't even think that it's Jiang Zhi Shu."

The follower asked, "Elder, who do you think it is?"

Jiang Hei slightly knit his brows and said, "It's clearly that Seekers Guild causing trouble and making it seem like it's an internal struggle. It's clear that they want to weaken our family to become the strongest family in the city."

The follower immediately cupped his hands and said, "Elder, I bow in awe of your wisdom."

Jiang Hei gave a little self centered laugh before saying, "It doesn't matter, we'll be teaching them a lesson tonight. Do you remember that trash shop I told you about?"

One of Jiang Hei's slower followers said, "Does elder mean the shop where you…"

But the first follower immediately slapped his hand over the slower follower's mouth and said, "Of course, elder."

Jiang Hei was so proud of himself that he didn't notice this and continued, "Well, we're teaching them a lesson tonight."

At this, Lin Fan immediately knit his brows.
