The villa's front door was pushed open, and Yan Lin, Ye Tianying, and a few others stepped out, followed by many other students outside.
If Lain is truly a Slaanesh Cultist spy within the White Night Empire, then finding him should lead us to many Slaanesh Cultists.
Jing Yuan, of course, wouldn't keep this to himself.
"Whoa, this is so intense!"
After Yan Lin entered, he saw Fiyela battling Yang Qian and nearly popped both of his eyes out.
"Pervert," Pei Muyun said expressionlessly.
"What kind of comment is that? She's being so bold, and if I don't look, wouldn't that make me seem uninterested?"
Yan Lin replied discontentedly, "Isn't this just bullying an honest person?"
Meanwhile, Lain and Fiyela, who were fighting Yang Qian, also noticed the intruding students.
Seeing they couldn't subdue Yang Qian quickly, the two decided to capture these Star Sea Academy students and use them to blackmail her.
"You block her first; I'll go after her students."
Fiyela lunged forward, leaving Lain no chance to retort, and turned to charge at Jing Yuan and the others.
Caught off guard, Lain could only grit his teeth and withstand Yang Qian's assault.
He had barely moved forward when Yang Qian slammed a spear into him; the spear then trembled in her hand, rebounded, traced a large arc in the air, and slammed into Fiyela's face.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The spear swept across, pinning Lain and then Fiyela against the wall.
"If I can't stop even you two, how dare I call the students over?"
Yang Qian wore a crop‑top bodysuit with a jacket, short shorts, and long, perfectly white legs; she held a spear behind her right hand, looking down at Lain and the other.
"Instructor Yang Qian, awesome!"
Below, Yan Lin shouted encouragement at just the right moment.
"You don't need to worry about those two; go look for any clues inside the villa."
After speaking, Yang Qian transformed into a blaze of crimson fire, like a rainbow cutting through the sun, streaking like a meteor across the night sky as she charged at Lain and the other.
With a massive roar, a huge hole opened in the bedroom wall, and Lain and Fiyela were pulled out.
To facilitate Jing Yuan's group's search of the villa, Yang Qian tossed the two troublesome guys outside.
"Search separately."
At Jing Yuan's command, the students waiting outside poured into the villa all at once.
In less than ten minutes, the entire villa was turned upside down by the students.
"Here, I've found a hidden door."
Hearing the exclamation, Jing Yuan and the others walked over.
The room with the hidden door turned out to be the same one where Fiyela had previously fought.
Jing Yuan entered the hidden passage and saw a spiraling downward hall, completely dark inside, illuminated by pink ambient lights.
"So why didn't they build the hidden door on the first floor?"
Doing it this way would require covering something on the first floor; at the very least, the space beneath this bedroom was turned into a wall.
"Maybe it's more convenient to operate here?" Jing Yuan joked, unusually.
"Cousin, don't learn those perverted things from Yan Lin."
Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Pei Muyun replied expressionlessly.
"Hey, what do you mean 'learn from me'? Can you be reasonable?"
Yan Lin instantly became displeased; he refused to take the blame.
"If not you, then is it Xiao Bai, Ye Tianying, or perhaps Liu Zhen?"
Besides you, she truly can't think of anyone who would tell Jing Yuan such things.
"Can't it just be that Xiao Yuan understands it himself?"
"Cousin isn't that kind of person."
"Haven't you heard that the more outwardly steady someone is, the more hidden perverse they are inside?"
"Never heard of it."
"..."
"Xiao Bai, send a robot in to see if there's any danger."
Stopping the argument, Jing Yuan addressed Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai nodded, released a nanobot insect that flew inside, projecting a virtual screen on the smart device.
"No danger."
After circling once, Xiao Bai said.
Jing Yuan nodded, taking the first step into the hidden room, with the others following closely.
The group first descended the spiraling staircase; the descent clearly went beyond the first floor, leading them underground.
At the bottom of the stairs lay a narrow passage.
They pressed forward along the passage; while tunnels branched in all directions, most were only partially built and abandoned, with only one fully cleared.
It seemed the Slaanesh Cultists intended to create a massive underground tunnel network to connect key strongholds.
Or perhaps they were constructing a huge underground debauchery venue to corrupt the White Night Empire's aristocracy.
However, the project was clearly only at its inception before their arrival halted it.
Jing Yuan and the others saw numerous desiccated corpses in the tunnel, with construction tools nearby.
When the students reached the end, they faced a spiral staircase identical to the villa's, ending at a red iron door.
As before in the villa, they first sent Xiao Bai's robot to scout.
After confirming no danger nearby, Jing Yuan led the way through the door.
The moment he stepped through the doorway, Jing Yuan heard an extremely noisy music blast.
At that moment, Jing Yuan and the others were in a dim room, with the sound coming from outside.
"That outside is a nightclub."
Without even stepping out, Yan Lin identified the place just by the sound.
The scorching dances, hormonal collisions, and passionate motions—this truly is the Slaanesh Cultists' favorite haunt.
The room Jing Yuan's group occupied had poor soundproofing, letting in all sorts of obscene noises.
"Shall we act?"
Everyone's gaze turned to Jing Yuan; this must be the remaining bulk of the Slaanesh Cultists, and eliminating them would mean wiping out the cult in the capital.
"Let's go!"
With those words, Jing Yuan struck like thunder, the first to charge out.
Wielding his formation blade, golden thunder swirled; the few nearby Slaanesh Cultists, still bewildered, were instantly taken down.
"Intruders!"
The commotion instantly drew the attention of all Slaanesh Cultists in the nightclub.
"How dare they come here, looking for death."
Waves of seductive fields were unleashed, and combined with the venue's advantage, the enchantment power surged multiple levels.
Many of the students, upon rushing in, showed obvious physical reactions, their minds growing hazy.
At that moment, everyone suddenly sensed a blood moon appearing in their minds.
The blood moon flashed briefly, but it expelled all the improper thoughts that had risen in the students' hearts.
"Xiao Li, come cleanse everyone."
After the command, Gu Xiao brandished a blade gun and surged into the fray.
Although she can mimic the blood moon's power to pull everyone out of the enchantment, that power isn't beneficial to them either.
