Chapter 2367 A Conspiracy Of Decades

Back then, Lin Mu had been only at the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm, thus he hadn't done much during the battle other than trying his best to hide. Of course, even if he wished to he wouldn't do that as that would involve revealing himself when there was no reason to.

Niu Juo had questioned him about this too.

Due to that, Lin Mu had never gotten a proper look at the dagger that Cao Tianyi had used and neither had he had the chance to scan it with his immortal sense. This was why he didn't recognize it at a first glance. After all, this wouldn't be the only dagger that was black like this.

"How did you remember this?" Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't help but ask, as it was simply such an obscure bit of information to keep track off.

"I almost didn't." Qiao De replied. "I only remembered the incident since the Steel Horned General Niu Juo had been involved in stopping it. We keep such information and sell it as part of our services at the Black Candle Pavilion. Luo Tu's assassination was a rather high profile for Skylark city as he was from an aristocratic clan. There were involvement of other nobles in it and their hands were dipping in various intelligence provider's pools. Thus to profit, we had also sold quite a few bits of information, including this one.

I oversaw the sale of this bit of information, along with several others, to the rival noble clans." The merchant explained.

Hearing that, the group finally understood how the merchant even recognized this.

"Well now, that we know that... how does this dagger actually fit in our current situation?" Daoist Chu asked the question that was in the minds of almost everyone. "Originally we had thought that the dagger and other weapons and tools used by Cao Tianyi were provided by his backers. But now it seems like there was a lot more to it than just that." Qiao De replied. "If there are two such daggers, I'm sure there's more of them." He added.

"There are." Lady Kang replied. "I killed three of them that were using such daggers." She revealed.

"Hm... then that means these were made by the Black Fin Island members themselves, or at least the Weapon refiner that works for them." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated after hearing all that.

~SHUA~

The pages started to flip rapidly as Qiao De searched through it, filtering out all the relevant incidents. After about thirty minutes of this, a large formation screen was projected by the register, on which lines upon lines of information appeared.

All this was separated into several squares and neatly ordered according to Chronology.

To the immortals present here, reading them was no issue even if the letters were all small and they got to it.

"This, this and this... the weapons are similar." Elder Hu picked out.

"These talismans seemed to have weaker versions of the skills that the Black Fin Island members were using." Crown Princess Shang noticed.

One by one, everyone started to find out the incidents that now all seemed to be linked back to the Black Fin Islands.

In total, from the roughly seven hundred or so incidents that Qiao De had shown, at least two hundred had some kind of involvement from the Black Fin Islands.

They had either provided weapons, tools, strange talismans, poisons, or even their own members. Except in the last case, the members had not worn any of their usual clothing and had hid their identities a lot better.

By the time everyone was done analyzing it, they were utterly shocked.

"This is a conspiracy... one that has been in action for several years... possibly decades." Lin Mu finally spoke.
