Chapter 1841 - 4: Probing

"Hmph"!

The cultivator named Hongg Zheng couldn’t help but snort coldly, casting a chilly glance at Lin Feng before leaving.

The others followed him to the next private room.

"Young brother, I’m truly sorry for earlier. Hongg Zheng has a bit of a temper, but he’s not malicious. He lost his composure today because he’s too eager to catch that assassin!"

The woman said softly.

Her voice was gentle, carrying a hint of allure.

Lin Feng smiled and cupped his fist, saying, "I won’t stoop to his level and won’t bother about it!"

Even Hongg Zheng, who was already over ten meters away, couldn’t help but twitch violently at the corner of his mouth upon hearing Lin Feng’s words.

Even the beautiful woman was slightly taken aback, then she smiled wryly.

It was evident that Lin Feng wasn’t someone who would easily swallow insults; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things that offended Hongg Zheng.

Hongg Zheng’s face was sullen, but he ultimately held back on account of the beautiful woman’s presence.

After a casual chat with Lin Feng, the beautiful woman left.

Lin Feng returned to his private room, frowning slightly.

If Shen Zhou Commerce continues their investigation like this, they will inevitably uncover some clues.

So Lin Feng left the private room to check things out, ready to escape at any special occurrence.

But reaching the deck, Lin Feng found that the prohibition on the massive ship had been activated.

Unless the array was forcibly broken, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

The prohibition on the huge ship was extremely powerful, and breaking the array would take some time.

Forcibly breaking the array would surely alarm the Heavenly God Realm experts of Shen Zhou Commerce.

With such a massive fleet, so many experts, and a Heavenly God Realm expert in command.

If trapped.

It would be a situation of nine deaths and one life.

No matter how strong one is, it’s impossible to fight against a massive fleet, especially when there are so many powerful cultivators on it.

As the saying goes, too many ants can bite an elephant to death.

Moreover, when so many cultivators gather together.

The combat power unleashed is naturally unimaginable.

...

Lin Feng decided to observe for the time being.

Because there was no evidence yet that Shen Zhou Commerce was targeting him.

So there was no need to panic.

For the following days after returning to the private room, he didn’t go out, while the people from Shen Zhou Commerce continued to investigate potential individuals.

...

Main control room.

Inside the control room were several huge crystal screens.

The crystal screens displayed various images.

A tall, middle-aged man sat on the sofa sipping tea.

Hongg Zheng accompanied this man.

The middle-aged man was named Hongg Tianqi, a Heavenly God Realm expert of Shen Zhou Commerce.

Also, Hongg Zheng’s uncle.

His cultivation.

Profound and unfathomable.

"How’s the investigation going?" Hongg Tianqi asked.

"No results!" Hongg Zheng shook his head.

"It must be someone who entered the casino that day who got the treasure!"

Hongg Tianqi said in a deep voice.

Because the place to exchange source crystal stones was in the backmost exchange room of the casino.

So the cultivator who escaped would surely pass through the casino.

That’s why Hongg Tianqi made this judgment.

"Unfortunately! Inside the casino and around it, we didn’t set up any monitoring spirit array, unable to investigate the situation at that time!"

Hongg Zheng said with a gloomy expression.

Hongg Tianqi said, "The casino and the brothel are both on the thirty-second floor. I’ve already ordered someone to review the images recorded by the hidden passage’s prohibition spirit arrays on the thirty-second floor, and we’ll investigate these people one by one!"

"Hmm, although it will waste a lot of time, it’s still a good method!"

Hongg Zheng nodded.

...

"What’s going on? Didn’t they just investigate a few days ago? Why are they investigating again?" Lin Feng heard the arguing outside.

He opened the private room’s door and looked out.

He discovered that Shen Zhou Commerce was once again investigating the phantom assassin.

This made him frown slightly.

Back in his room, he sat down and contemplated, feeling that things were heading in a rather bad direction.

The cultivators of Shen Zhou Commerce probably noticed some clues.

Soon after, Shen Zhou Commerce personnel knocked on Lin Feng’s door again, asking nearly the same questions as before.

Yet Lin Feng realized they were focused on the same key point: with whom he was with and who could attest to it.

Evidently, this question couldn’t deceive Shen Zhou Commerce, so Lin Feng gave the same answers as before.

After questioning, the Shen Zhou Commerce personnel left.

...

"There were more than seventy people who went alone to the thirty-second floor!"

Hongg Zheng said.

"Let Cheng Youli test these people!"

Hongg Tianqi said.

"Uncle, how can this be!" Hongg Zheng’s face changed slightly.

Cheng Youli, the beautiful woman, was someone Hongg Zheng had just hooked up with.

And he hadn’t enjoyed her company yet.

He naturally didn’t want Cheng Youli to do this.

Hongg Tianqi said solemnly, "Cheng Youli is skilled in the Bewitching Technique, making her most suitable for this task. Besides! She’s only using the Bewitching Technique to probe those people about past events, not actually doing anything with them. You shouldn’t worry so much."

Hongg Zheng nodded gloomily.

"You go personally arrange this matter!"

Hongg Tianqi said.

"Got it!"

Hongg Zheng acknowledged and then walked out.

"Check the monitoring spirit array recordings in the rooms of these seventy-two people!"

Hongg Tianqi instructed.

"Yes, sir!"

The cultivator sitting in front of the crystal screens responded, starting to retrieve the monitoring footage from each room.

They checked them one by one.

To see if any clues could be found.

...

Lin Feng glanced at the obscured monitoring spirit array in his room, frowning slightly.

"Seems like there are some flaws here too, but just based on this flaw, they can’t be sure it’s me!"

Lin Feng contemplated.

He was quite disdainful of Shen Zhou Commerce.

Knowing that cultivators love freedom.

And many cultivators have secrets of their own.

They naturally despise things like monitoring spirit arrays.

Therefore, the fleets of major commerce groups aren’t allowed to set up monitoring spirit arrays.

Even in some public areas.

They’re not allowed to set up monitoring spirit arrays.

Yet Shen Zhou Commerce sneaked in monitoring spirit arrays.

But Shen Zhou Commerce’s monitoring spirit array was particularly special; even Lin Feng discovered it with great difficulty.

As for other cultivators, they would find it even harder to discover.

Perhaps that’s why Shen Zhou Commerce dared to set up monitoring spirit arrays?

Lin Feng directly destroyed the monitoring spirit array in his room.

He hoped Shen Zhou Commerce would think the monitoring spirit array in his room was self-damaged.

Hence, the room’s footage wasn’t recorded.

Of course.

Whether Shen Zhou Commerce thinks so, Lin Feng wasn’t sure.

It was just his hope.

Now Lin Feng was planning how to leave this ancient ship.

The next day, there was a series of knocks at the door.

Lin Feng opened the door and saw the beautiful woman he had met a few days ago standing outside.
