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.

Black Fin Islands had involvement in the assassination of Luo Tu too?" Crown Princess Shang stated. "That Cao Tianyi was part of them?" "No, he was most certainly not." Qiao De shook his head. "But it looks like the Black Fin Islands did end up supplying the tools for it, so their involvement was indirect."

Fin Islands do that, though?"

be anything for them to gain from that."

Mu spoke up after thinking for a bit. "I think it was mostly just a monetary thing for them. The Black Fin Island members might not have done anything or shown any movements, but what's to say Yao Changying wasn't doing anything. If she has been planning for all that she had done, she would certainly need a ton of funds for it. Even if she's the niece of the Holy Topaz Emperor and the daughter of a sect leader, there is a limit to the amount of funds she can mobilize
