Chapter 164: Do You Mind Adopting Another One (2)

If he was already a Heaven-rank disciple at the age of twenty, wouldn’t he be a cultivator master in another seven to eight years?

Only then did the young soldier understand why the captain was so respectful to that person.

“Experience is everything! Captain, you’re so knowledgeable that you can even recognize a Heaven-rank disciple’s identity token!”

“Of course. I’ve been guarding this city gate for over seven years. I’ve seen at least a thousand disciples from the three great academies. I can recognize any identity token at a glance!”

Lin Shen didn’t know that the two soldiers were talking behind his back.

After entering the city, he quickly arrived at an inconspicuous residential building under Tang Yue’s lead.

He opened the door and walked in. It was only when he reached the living room door that Lin Shen realized that they weren’t alone.

…..

“It’s rumored that spirit cats are good at hiding. That seems to be true. I can barely sense their aura!”

Lin Shen was secretly amazed.

If he was more than ten meters away with a wall between them, he probably wouldn’t be able to sense the spirit cats on the other side.

Of course, this was only if their cultivation levels were similar.

If it was a spirit cat in the Spirit Awakening Stage, no matter how well it hid, it wouldn’t be able to escape his detection.

However, for Bright Aperture Stage cultivators who had awakened spirit resonance, the effect of the spirit cat’s concealment ability would be greatly reduced.

Even an Enlightening Stage cat demon couldn’t hide from a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator at close range.

When he arrived at the living room, Lin Shen looked around.

There were a total of seven people in the living room. All of them were beautiful women, ranging from late teens to late 20s. They all had different temperaments, some lively, some gentle, and some elegant. At a glance, they were exceptionally stunning.

What was worth mentioning was that just like Tang Yue, the seven women had concealed their cat ears and tails. Apart from their outstanding looks, they looked no different from ordinary women.

As Lin Shen studied the women, they were also curiously observing him.

They were either openly sizing him up

or pretend to be inadvertently observing him.

If it were anyone else, they would most likely be at a loss and blush when they were stared at by seven beauties. However, Lin Shen knew the true form of these spirit cats, and he wasn’t affected at all.

After a long time, the oldest of them all stepped forward and broke the silence.

“This must be Master Lin Shen. Thank you for coming all the way from Dragonside City to help us!

“My name is Tang Ying. I guess you can call me the leader of the Sinking Moon.”

“Just call me Lin Shen.” Lin Shen nodded in greeting. “Are all the people from Sinking Moon here?”

Tang Ying shook her head. “Only some of the members are here. Considering that the operation tonight will be dangerous, I only gathered my sisters in the Ascension Stage.”

Eight Ascension Stage cat demons?

Lin Shen nodded to himself.

It seemed that Sinking Moon’s overall strength was stronger than he had expected.

At least, it was much stronger than the Night Grinders back then.

However, the Sinking Moon shouldn’t have been established for long. Otherwise, how could the Night Grinders have the chance to capture spirit cats everywhere?

“Tell me what we’re going to do next.”

Without any small talk, Lin Shen went straight to the point.

Tang Ying was naturally happy about this. She also wanted to save her clansmen as soon as possible.

“The operation is set for tonight. It’ll be easier for us to cast illusions and hide our auras!”

As Tang Ying spoke, she carefully observed Lin Shen’s expression.

Seeing that he nodded in agreement, she continued.

“This is the target location.”

A map had already been placed on the coffee table in the living room. Tang Ying pointed at a place marked with a red circle.

“This was originally a manor, but after that apothecary moved in, he built a wall along the manor and even recruited quite a number of capable men as guards. Therefore, it’s no different from a small castle now. It’s much more difficult to infiltrate than an ordinary manor.

“In addition, according to the information we received last time, there are about 50 regular guards, and only seven or eight of them have the cultivation of the Long Breath Stage. However, after we alerted the enemy last time, it’s very likely that they’ll increase the number of guards. We have to consider this in advance!”

Tang Ying patiently explained the situation in the manor in detail.

Clearly, before Lin Shen came, they had already made sufficient preparations. This also made Lin Shen feel their strong determination to save their own kind.

Unfortunately, under the same cultivation level, the combat strength of spiritual beasts was generally inferior to human cultivators.

Moreover, the spirit cat race wasn’t good at direct combat.

Therefore, even if Sinking Moon had as many Ascension Stage cat demons as the Long Breath Stage guards in the manor, there was a high chance that they wouldn’t be a match.

“We don’t know the exact location of where the spirit cats are kept. We’ve captured a few guards and servants for interrogation, but we haven’t obtained any information. I think the place should be a secret. Only people of higher status in the manor know.

“After the operation begins, we’ll be in charge of attracting the attention of the guards at the gate. Meanwhile, Lord Lin Shen and Tang Yue will sneak into the manor and find an opportunity to capture people like the manager and interrogate them about the location of the spirit cat!”

Tang Ying turned to look at Tang Yue and Lin Shen with solemn expression.

“After finding the place, Tang Yue will inform us immediately. We will create a commotion according to the situation and attract the attention of the guards in the manor. You’ll take the opportunity to save the spirit cats and leave the manor!”

It was a standard plan without serious loopholes.

Lin Shen had nothing to add.

If he had to find a flaw in this plan, it was that there were no contingency or alternative plans..
