Chapter 60: The Real Trap
It took Han Xuhan a great exertion of self-restraint to not throw a punch into Mu Ran’s gut. Perhaps the fact that he knew he’d lose in the fight was the determinant factor there.
"This is an amazing discovery, Representative Ran! How did nobody else manage to find this place? We’ve got a huge lead now, and possibly many murderers to catch!"
Shen Kai’s fearful excitement was palpable, and the issue he raised was certainly something to think about.
"Boss, I’m pretty sure that the demonic cultivators wouldn’t be dumb enough to leave such a simple ’entrance to their lair’ which anyone can find easily. Nobody found this trap even though this place has been searched repeatedly.
"This has to be a temporary trap made for investigators, especially cultivators. This also indicates that the demonic cultivators were aware that we would visit."
Xuhan’s concerns were not unfounded. But Mu Ran simply smirked as if he had figured all of these out. But he was pretty sure that Mu Ran wasn’t the sort of person who thought things so far ahead so fast.
"I understand. However, this is also the easiest way to confront the demonic cultivators. At least one clue has been found, right?"
"There is no way in hell I’m going down that trap. You can’t make me," Han Xuhan protested.
"But what about the victims? Not all of them might be dead! We can’t abandon them to their fate just because we are scared of a trap," Shen Kai snapped at him angrily.
