Despite Shen Zhongyang’s advanced age, his skills were still formidable. He fought Yunyi for dozens of rounds before his stamina finally gave out and he was defeated.
He had just asked, "Who in the world are you?" when Yunyi knocked him unconscious.
Following that, Yunyi used a special needle from her hand on him, ensuring he would never be able to speak again.
Having experienced several past lifetimes, Yunyi never showed mercy to her enemies. She promptly crippled his hands as well.
After neatly taking everything from the inner room, she collected the wooden gun that had been kicked away into her space, then began to go through the bookshelves against the wall of the outer room.
Behind one of the bookshelves, she found a hidden mechanism. Yunyi wasn’t surprised; in fact, she considered it quite normal.
However, upon opening it, she discovered it was just a fairly large secret compartment.
She didn’t bother to look closely at the items inside and immediately stored them all in her space. After all, the secret chamber by the entrance to the second courtyard was still waiting for her.
Looking down at Shen Zhongyang lying on the ground, she thought, Let him be found tomorrow morning. By then, not even a deity could cure him. He will spend the rest of his life as a living corpse.
There was not a trace of sympathy in her eyes. After all, the number of people he had murdered was likely countless; she considered her actions to be dispensing justice on Heaven’s behalf.
She returned to the Chuihua Gate of the second courtyard and found a well-concealed mechanism beneath the gate pier.
When the mechanism activated, she discovered the entrance wasn’t nearby. Instead, it was several meters away, on the wall of a building in the second courtyard. This wall was usually obscured by the open gate, making the entrance easily overlooked.
Upon examining the stone steps at the entrance, she realized the room had been constructed with double walls, making it completely indiscernible from the outside.
Descending the stone steps, she found two small chambers below, filled to the brim with items.
Yunyi was certain this was not the Shen Family’s only treasure trove. Without the slightest hesitation, she efficiently cleared everything out.
Seeing these items, Yunyi thought, Now the Shen Family is surely doomed.
