At this moment, the Heaven Ascend brother was operating normally. Many customers were entering the building under the guidance of seductive women dressing revealingly.
"Sister Qian, do you feel it's getting hot here?" A seductive woman with ample breast fanned her hand before her face while asking another woman beside her. She didn't know why the temperature suddenly increased.
Sister Qian on the side had also felt the same. She looked around for a moment and noticed the trace of heat was floating up from the floor. The moment she looked down on her feet, her face immediately paled as she screamed in fright. "Ah!"
Her scream immediately attracted everyone's attention. They followed Sister Qian's gaze and saw the floor become fiery red as though it was about to melt at any moment.
"Run!" A female voice suddenly resounded throughout the building, alarming all the customers and workers and making them stop doing their business.
It was as though their instinct had kicked in; everyone could perceive a sense of danger incoming. They hurriedly ran out of the building as if their lives were on the line.
Upon everyone evacuated out of the building, several rays of flame arrow fiercely pierced out of the floor and shot straight vertically into the sky, turning the entire building into a massive pillar of fire. Black smoke gradually filled the sky, casting a blanket of shadow to cover the whole red-light street.
"What…" All the customers and workers stared at the fire pillar in front of them in horror. If they hadn't left earlier, they would have become ashes by now. Speaking of this, they had to thank the warning voice previously. They looked at each other in confusion, trying to find the person who told them to run.
Several meters away from the Heaven Ascend brothel, Yun Meilan stood beside Yun Lintian and watched the fire pillar calmly. She was the owner of the earlier warning voice. Yun Lintian had told her to do it.
As much as Yun Lintian wanted to kill the whole Peng clan, most of the workers in the Heaven Ascend were victims in the first place. He didn't want to kill them randomly, as it wasn't their responsibility in this incident. The real culprits were the top-level personnel of the Peng clan.
As for the customers related directly to the incident, Yun Lintian had already given the Cloud Shadow members the assassination task to get rid of them.
"How many victims?" Yun Lintian asked plainly.
"Including the earlier batch, there are four hundred and fifty-two in a total. They all now resting in the restaurant, and Lingwei is personally taking care of them right now." Yun Meilan replied.
The underground room under the Heaven Ascend brothel wasn't the only one that had the victims. There were many other places throughout the entire divine city. Yun Lintian and his team had acted to rescue them simultaneously, and everything went smooth-sailing.
Rumble—
At this moment, a tall building several kilometers away from the red-light street had become another fire pillar. The fire was burning fiercely. Even Yun Lintian and Yun Meilan could clearly see it from here.
Rumble! Rumble!
One after another, several buildings all over the divine city had similarly turned into fire pillars.
This incident had alarmed all the citizens as they thought the city was under attack by a powerful group of practitioners. However, when they started to connect the dots, they immediately realized that these burning buildings actually had the same owner, the Peng clan. Undoubtedly, this attack was solely aimed at them. They all wondered who did the Peng clan provoking.
Watching the building burn for a while, Yun Lintian made a gesture to Yun Meilan, and both of them had slowly sunk into the ground, entirely disappearing from the place.
***
Bang!
In the Peng manor, Peng Huang threw a jade cup in his hand on the ground and roared angrily. "Who did it!?"
He received the report from his subordinate earlier that several of his clan's properties were under attack at the same time. Although there was no casualty, this action of the culprit was undoubtedly provoking the Peng clan's prestige.
On the side, Peng Zheng calmly took a sip of tea with a thoughtful expression. He had carefully checked earlier and found some clues about it. All of these places were the place where they imprisoned the slaves. Without a doubt, the purpose of the group of people who did this was to rescue the slaves.
However, who were they? To be able to grasp the information of the prisons so accurately like this was too incredible. The Qin, Lin, and Bai clan or even Principal Tian might not be able to do so.
For some reason, Yun Lintian's figure appeared in Peng Zheng's mind, but he quickly denied it. It was impossible for him to do all of this alone, no matter how high his talent was. As for his people? It was even more implausible to be them.
Peng Huang panted a few times before calming down. He sat down on the chair and asked his son. "What do you think?"
Peng Zheng leaned backward against the chair and said calmly. "These people must come from the outside of the other three clans. Although the Lin clan is highly suspicious, they don't really have the gut to fall out with us. Even more so the Bai and Qin clan. As for that Old Geezer Tian, it is true that he has been trying to suppress us recently. I don't believe he will be merciful, sparing everyone like this. Father should know about that."
Peng Huang slowly nodded his head. Principal Tian might look amiable on the outside. He knew this old man was extremely cruel when he did things. If Yun Lintian hadn't intervened in the Fallen Dragon incident, Principal Tian would definitely activate the Space Collapse ability in the end without caring about the innocent life. After all, his lifespan was about to end soon. He didn't have to care about the consequence.
Therefore, the one behind this incident couldn't be Principal Tian, as there was no casualty.
"What about Han Bingling?" Peng Huang asked.
