Keep the music playing, keep the dancing going!

"Uh..."

"What you're saying makes some sense."

Lu Xuenning blinked her eyes, then nodded.

"But there are too many people here, how can we get to the top floor?"

Lu Xuenning asked again.

She felt her brain wasn't working well enough, so she proactively asked Chen Fan.

"Of course, we'll just walk up boldly."

"That Red Courtesan just now said that Spring View Pavilion has entertainment on the first floor, a restaurant on the second, a gambling house on the third, the Red Courtesans' residences on the fourth, the courtesans' residences on the fifth, and the top courtesan's residence on the sixth."

"These six floors should all be open to the public. At worst, the first four floors are completely accessible. The fifth and sixth floors might have guards, and ordinary people can't get up there."

"So, we can go to the fourth floor first, see if we can find an opportunity to sneak to the fifth or sixth floor, and then to the top floor."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and then said.

"I knew I should have brought my Flying Tiger Claw."

Lu Xuenning said, shaking her head as if a little discouraged.

"Are you really sure the mastermind behind Spring View Pavilion is a Demonic Creature?"

Chen Fan asked again.

"I'm absolutely sure."

"But I don't know if he's actually hiding on the top floor of Spring View Pavilion. If we barge in rashly and find nothing on the top floor, we'll just alert the enemy."

"And both of us might be punished. After all, as officers, trespassing into a private residence without reason is a violation of the Great Zhou Law."

Lu Xuenning replied.

"Let's eat first. After we're done, we'll take the two girls to the fourth floor, knock them out, and then meet up to figure out how to get to the top floor."

Chen Fan nodded upon hearing Lu Xuenning's answer.

He urgently needed the lifespan of Demonic Creatures to improve his strength. In this chaotic world filled with Demonic Creatures, only strength was the most reliable.

The two ate until they were full and satisfied, then each called over the two Red Courtesans from before, put an arm around one, and walked straight towards the fourth floor.

The two entered a room with the Red Courtesans, promptly knocked them unconscious, then walked out of the room and met at the staircase leading from the fourth to the fifth floor.

"There are no guards at the entrance to the fifth floor. Let's go up directly."

The two glanced up the stairs and quickly ascended to the fifth floor.

"There are two people guarding the entrance to the sixth floor," Lu Xuenning said in a low voice.

"We're already here, might as well knock them both out and take a look at the top floor," Chen Fan suggested.

"Exactly what I was thinking!"

With that, Lu Xuenning's figure flickered. Like a Spirit Cat, her steps shifted, and she instantly reached the sixth floor.

Bang! Bang!

Before the two guards at the sixth-floor entrance could even make a sound, Lu Xuenning had already knocked them unconscious and they fell to the ground.

"If I had known you were this fast and skilled, we wouldn't have had to sneak around like thieves. We could have just knocked the guards out," Chen Fan said with a hint of envy.

Although he had already reached the fourth level of the Spirit Concealment Realm, the Blood Martial Saint, and had mastered the Draw Sword Slash to the Great Perfection level, speed was still his weakness. Even running with all his might, he was far from Lu Xuenning's speed. This showed that Lu Xuenning must have mastered some movement technique cultivation methods.

"Let's hide them first. Someone will probably notice they're missing soon, and we don't have much time," Lu Xuenning said, giving Chen Fan a helpless look. If she had fought her way up from the first floor to the top, even if the guards at the stairwell entrances hadn't sent out a distress signal, others in the Spring View Pavilion would have already discovered them.

Chen Fan grabbed one guard by each leg and, like dragging dead dogs, threw them into a temporarily empty room before closing the door.

The two then proceeded through the sixth-floor stairs, heading straight for the top floor of the Spring View Pavilion!

There were also guards on the top floor of the Spring View Pavilion, four burly martial artists armed with weapons, glaring menacingly. From the top floor, the shrill wails of a woman could be heard.

"Attack!"

Chen Fan frowned upon hearing the lewd talk and decadent music from the top floor, along with the increasingly sharp cries of pain from the woman. He gripped his Hundred Refinements Embroidered Spring Blade tightly and charged towards the top floor.

"Kid, who are you?"

"This is a private area, leave quickly!"

The four guards shouted angrily as they saw Chen Fan swaggering up.

"Jinyiwei business, irrelevant people, get out of the way!"

Chen Fan's deep voice commanded.

The faces of the four men changed upon hearing this. After exchanging glances, they simultaneously grabbed the blades in their hands and slashed directly at Chen Fan!

"Seeking death!"

Fierce light flared in Chen Fan's eyes. He drew the Hundred Refinements Embroidered Spring Blade he carried and unleashed the martial skill Draw Sword Slash at the Great Perfection level. A terrifying blade energy, like a silver lightning bolt streaking across the sky, directly severed the blades in the hands of the four men with a single strike!

"If you don't get out of the way now, you won't be so lucky with the next strike!"

Chen Fan spoke to the four guards.

They were merely martial artists at the first stage of the Spirit Concealment Realm. If he had wanted to kill them, he would have cleaved them and their weapons in half with that previous strike.

"Hurry up and get lost!"

Lu Xuenning also berated them. The four men immediately fled, heading straight for the top floor.

It seemed they were going to fetch reinforcements.

Chen Fan and Lu Xuenning exchanged a look and then proceeded to the top floor. Upon entering, a thick smell of blood permeated the air. The entire top floor was a scene of debauchery, decorated extravagantly.

However, the wine pool emanated a strong stench of blood, and the "meat forest" hanging on either side of the corridor consisted of cooked female corpses.

"Human blood for wine, human flesh steamed and cooked – they are Demonic Creatures without a doubt!"

Lu Xuenning, faced with such a horrifying scene, showed no fear. Her body trembled violently, and killing intent surged from her.

"Everything before us is ironclad proof!"

"There's no need to hold back, let's kill our way through!"

Chen Fan's gaze was also icy. It was clear he was filled with murderous intent.

The horror and cruelty of these Demonic Creatures were simply outrageous!

He hadn't expected that the top floor of Ping'an County's premier brothel would actually hide such a Demonic Creature that ate human flesh, drank human blood, and defiled women!

In the top floor hall.

Singers and dancers performed, while a White Ape, nearly ten feet tall, pinned a slender and handsome Courtesan beneath it.

The Courtesan cried out in agony, but the White Ape grew more excited. It reached out, choked the Courtesan's neck, and began to thrust wildly.

The Courtesan beat frantically against the White Ape's chest, struggling with her limbs, but her movements grew slower and weaker.

The Courtesan felt the suffocating sensation intensify. Finally, her hands fell limp, her eyes bulged outwards, and she departed this world filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

"Hoo!"

"As expected of the courtesan, so spirited!"

"Too bad you're so frail. I wasn't finished, and you died!"

"Guards!"

"Clean her up, drain her blood, and boil her. A special meal tonight!"

"Hahaha!"

The White Ape roared with laughter. Chen Fan and Lu Xuenning saw and heard everything.

BOOM!

Chen Fan kicked open the half-ajar main hall doors. The fine solid wood splintered into pieces from his kick.

The commotion startled the White Ape. The scantily clad singing and dancing girls, who had been performing energetically, also stopped and looked towards the entrance in unison.

A handsome and valiant youth in black, wielding the Hundred Refinements Embroidered Spring Blade, strode in from outside. Behind him, a young master with a delicate, androgynous appearance, holding a sharp Longsword, followed closely.

"Why did you all stop?"

"Continue the music, continue the dance!"

The White Ape looked at the two entering from the doorway with a calm and disdainful expression. He glanced towards the singers, his face expressionless, and said.
