Chapter 2476 Cloak and Dagger Hall

While the Treasury Minister's residence was indeed near the edge of the grounds, Lin Mu didn't expect for the assassins to be hiding so near to it.

Lin Mu spread his immortal sense and observed the distance between the two locations, finding it to be barely three kilometers apart.

"Three kilometers… they managed to hide all this time with such a small distance and even avoided the Immortal Sense of others." Lin Mu hadn't expected them to be this covert.

While Immortals didn't usually scan underground, in high security areas like the Imperial Grounds, it would certainly be done to check for anything suspicious. Lin Mu had even read about an assassin a few hundred years ago in the past where the assassin had hid basically buried himself underground when some landscaping work was being done.

He had stayed hidden for several months before finally striking out when his target was passing over the place he was buried in. Of course, he still died when the guards poured in, but his target had been killed too.

As such, the people in charge of security scanned everything with their Immortal Sense, even the ground to be sure of it. For them to have missed the tunnel was unexpected, making Lin Mu suspect whether there was some corruption underway.

'How did they manage to avoid detection so far? Not to mention develop a secret hideout this close.' Lin Mu wondered.

"Besides, they probably didn't think that they would get caught from something like the scent of Pine." The Servant girl had also only gone there when she was asked to bring Fragrant Wood, so even if someone thought she was smelling of Pine, she had a legitimate excuse for
