After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

As the sun sets and night falls, Lin Chuan arrives at a hotel in Qingping County.

"Hey, sir, do you want to stop by for a meal or stay the night?" the shopkeeper asked enthusiastically.

Lin Chuan took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and placed it gently on the counter. "Give me a quiet and comfortable room. The extra money will be considered a tip."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly picked up the banknote and carefully checked the seal and denomination. After confirming that they were correct, he smiled ingratiatingly, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll arrange the best room for you right away!"

Afterwards, the shopkeeper called the waiter and whispered a few words to him, and the waiter took Lin Chuan upstairs. Along the way, the waiter enthusiastically introduced the various facilities and services of the inn, but Lin Chuan remained unmoved.

"Do you require any special services, sir?" Seeing that Lin Chuan was not interested, the waiter suddenly asked mysteriously.

Lin Chuan asked curiously, "What special service?"

"It's just... ahem... sir, you know what I mean~" The waiter stuffed a card into Lin Chuan's hand at lightning speed and glanced at Lin Chuan's lower body.

"Oh~, you little juice~" Lin Chuan understood and smiled at the waiter.

Soon, they arrived at a spacious and bright guest room. The waiter opened the door and found that the room was exquisitely decorated with a soft and clean bed, complete furniture, and a window that offered a view of the street outside.

Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction and walked into the room. The waiter stood at the door waiting for instructions. Lin Chuan took out a tael of silver and handed it to the waiter, saying, "This is a reward for you. Go away." The waiter took the silver with great joy, thanked him repeatedly, and left.

Lin Chuan closed the door, sat on the bed, and began to think about his next move.

Lin Chuan placed the card handed to him by the waiter on the table and began to look at it carefully.

"I'm thinking of you at Yexiang Pavilion, waiting for you to spend a wonderful night with me..."

"Yexiang Pavilion...?" Isn't this the place where I first came to this continent? Looking at the introduction on the back of the card, Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Lin Chuan immediately called the waiter and asked about Yexiang Pavilion.

"This Yexiang Pavilion was just a few dilapidated houses in our Qingping County before, where some old and ugly women did some prostitution. Later, for some reason, a big boss came and bought the place and opened the Yexiang Pavilion. The beauties there were of really high quality. From then on, the place was brightly lit every night and became the largest place of entertainment in the whole Qingping County. Sir, which girl do you like? I will call her for you right away." The waiter said attentively.

"It's okay, I'm just asking. You can go back and do your work." Lin Chuan waved his hand to refuse.

"Okay, sir, please call me anytime if you have any instructions." After saying that, the waiter left.

"Yexiang Pavilion? Is it the group of people who followed me today? What is the connection between it and the missing people?" Lin Chuan frowned, looking out the window with deep eyes, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, thinking carefully about the connection, but still had no clue.

"Forget it, let's go to Yexiang Pavilion tomorrow and make plans." After thinking fruitlessly, Lin Chuan lay down on the bed and began to sleep.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, the door of Lin Chuan's guest room suddenly opened a tiny crack, and something similar to a pipe stretched out from outside the room into the room.

Lin Chuan, who was still asleep, suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

"It smells so good..." Lin Chuan said in a daze.

"No...this smell..." Lin Chuan woke up instantly, became alert immediately, and held his breath without hesitation.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Lin Chuan only felt the ceiling spinning faster and faster, and before he could see who had tricked him, he lost consciousness.

"Take him back." a masked man ordered.

"Yes." A group of men in black immediately took action.

……

When Lin Chuan woke up, he found himself in a cell, his hands and feet tightly bound with iron chains. Lin Chuan tried to mobilize his spiritual power to break free from the chains, but found that he could not mobilize it at all.

"It seems that they came prepared. Who could they be? From Yexiang Pavilion?" Lin Chuan thought to himself, but still had no clue.

"Forget it, let's go out and see what's going on first." Instead of guessing here without any clue, it's better to go out and see what's going on.

"Yin Yang Sword Intent." Lin Chuan was enveloped in a black and white sword intent. The chains snapped with a thud. His captors had never imagined that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess such a thing as sword intent.

The jailer who heard the noise rushed over immediately. Seeing Lin Chuan breaking the chains on his body, he was immediately frightened and shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, someone escaped."

A group of officers and soldiers immediately rushed in and surrounded Lin Chuan.

"Huh? You are government officials. Why do you want to arrest me?" Lin Chuan became more and more confused.

"Strangers, if you know what's best for you, go back to your cells and wait for the county magistrate's decision, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" an officer shouted.

"I don't think I've done anything harmful, so why was I locked up in the yamen by the county magistrate?" Lin Chuan was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Stop talking nonsense. The county magistrate will investigate whether you have committed any crime or not. Why don't you surrender obediently?" another soldier shouted.

"It seems there's no way to talk it over nicely, Xingye."

A black shadow flashed by, and before the officers and soldiers could see what it was, they all fainted.

"It seems that strength is the best bridge of communication!" Lin Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

After leaving the cell, Lin Chuan didn't rush out into the outside world, but continued to explore deeper into the dungeon. His steps were light but firm, as if he was pursuing some unknown secret. As he went deeper, the atmosphere of the dungeon became increasingly eerie and terrifying, but Lin Chuan remained undeterred by fear; curiosity filled his heart.

Soon, Lin Chuan reached the end of the dungeon and saw a thick wall blocking his way. The wall looked indestructible, giving people a feeling of being insurmountable. However, Lin Chuan keenly noticed something strange on the wall.

"Huh? What's this?" he whispered to himself. It turned out that on a brick in the wall, there was a clear sign of loosening. This discovery made Lin Chuan's heart beat faster, and he realized that there might be something important hidden here, or a passage.

Lin Chuan approached the brick cautiously and touched it gently. The brick swayed slightly, as if it could be easily pressed down. He took a deep breath, then pressed the brick down hard, and the wall immediately shook.

As the shaking of the wall stopped, a dark tunnel came into view...
