Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 252: Chapter 125 Chen Jie: No one can find the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms? I don’t believe it!

”Some absolute, huh!

Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, ah,” he was quite covetous too, alright. Although the secret had been carried to the grave by the old beggar, he had his own intelligence system. As long as he made good use of the intel, especially the fifth piece of information from the second-level intelligence system, which could be directed.

He would be able to unravel this secret bit by bit.

That was his advantage!

Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!

A glint of brilliance flashed through Chen Jie’s eyes.

The grave was ready, and several underlings from the Fishing Guild threw the body of the old beggar into the pit. Chen Jie, in order to gain more related intelligence, actually picked up a shovel and personally covered the old beggar with two spadefuls of dirt.

In the end, Chen Jie even found a piece of wood and carved on it ”Grave of the Old Leader of the Beggar Sect!”

Respecting the deceased was indeed a fine virtue; moreover, he might be able to get that [Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms] that threw the whole Mianshui into turmoil from him.

After the burial was done, Zhou Chu stomped on the mound and then planted the wooden tombstone at the head of the grave.

Having done everything, Chen Jie and his entourage rode into the city.

This time they entered the city from the South City, and then they realized that the two streets under the old beggar’s protection in South City were in complete chaos. The streets were swarmed with people from both the Fishing Guild and Guild Cao, each taking a street and fervently hunting Beggar Sect disciples.

At the same time, both factions rushed to the Headquarters of the Beggar Sect and turned it upside down, even scouring the latrine pits, in the hopes of finding the old beggar’s hidden secret manual.

However, they found nothing at all.

Chen Jie witnessed the whole process, and suddenly he was a bit afraid. Could it be that the old beggar had no secret manual at all?

If there was no secret manual, he would have been busy for nothing.

Nevertheless, Chen Jie did not blame anyone or fate; what came was his fortune, and what escaped was his destiny.

Although the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms was a top-level martial art, it wasn’t something he absolutely had to have, though, of course, it would be best if he could obtain it.

However, it was obvious that Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai were very eager to acquire the secret manual and began a frantic search on these two streets in South City.

Likewise, the town’s king, Darugachi, also wanted to acquire the secret manual.

At that time, in the dungeons of Darugachi Mansion.

”Ah~”

The red-hot branding iron was pressed brutally onto [Mountain Climbing Vine Liu Feng], who cried out in agonizing howls.

Meanwhile on the side, two jailers lashed [Iron Beggar Zhou Peng] with whips soaked in saltwater, and within moments, Zhou Peng’s whole body was bloodied by the strokes.

Several other elite disciples of the Beggar Sect were also enduring all sorts of tortures at that moment.

Qimu Ge, meanwhile, was leisurely sipping tea, watching the execution.

They never went easy on the Han people.

After taking a sip of tea, Qimu Ge said, ”Has anyone talked yet? Just tell me where the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms is, and you won’t have to suffer anymore, and you’ll even receive a reward from our Lord. Do you hear me?”

Qimu Ge stood up and approached Liu Feng, saying, ”You’re severely injured, eh. Just tell us.”

”I don’t know!”

Liu Feng clenched his teeth and said.

Upon hearing this, Qimu Ge gestured, and a jailer brought over the red-hot iron. Qimu Ge took it and waved it in front of Liu Feng, ”Speak.”

”I really don’t know.”

”You’re not being honest, eh!”

With that, he pressed the iron harshly against Liu Feng’s face, causing Liu Feng to howl in pain, and a smell of roasted flesh filled the air.

...

And the same thing was happening with the Fishing Guild and Guild Cao—they also captured a group of Beggar Sect disciples, subjected them to rigorous torture, and were determined to find out the whereabouts of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms.

Under such intense interrogation, they actually obtained a useful piece of information.

That is, someone said they had seen the Old Leader with a page of paper that seemed to record the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, but then it disappeared, and they didn’t know if the Old Leader had hidden it somewhere.

With this piece of information, the two big guilds and Darugachi’s mansion were even more motivated.

Meanwhile, there were rumors in Mianshui’s Jianghu that the old beggar had hidden the secret manual in a very secret place before his death.

And the one who could acquire the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms would be the next king of Mianshui County.

Suddenly, more Jianghu people were involved in this maelstrom of searching for the secret manual, and these past few days, the whole Mianshui County was abuzz with two topics.

First, where exactly was the old beggar’s Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms hidden?

Second, would Chen Jiusi be the future successor of the White Tiger Hall?

For a time, the whole Mianshui County was abuzz with discussions about these two matters.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie was not involved in these issues; he now had three important things to accomplish.

First: to investigate the cause of the death of Peng Shizhong’s Fourth Brother, the Scholar in White, Deng Guangming. Peng Shizhong was right; at that time, White Tiger Hall and the Beggar Sect were in such conflict that they were indifferent to a life or two. The old beggar’s denial of their involvement in killing Deng Guangming only meant that they did not want to be framed.

Thus, the real murderer of Deng Guangming was likely someone else.

But who was this person?

Deng Guangming was quite good to Chen Jie, whether in matters of the guild or in life, he took good care of him. In both emotion and reason, he should help Deng Guangming find the murderer and seek vengeance for him.

Second: to find a way to locate the place where the old beggar hid the secret manual. The Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms were indeed tempting.

Third: he needed to start trying to take over the business of White Tiger Hall. The three sworn brothers were severely injured, and it was the perfect time for him to get involved with White Tiger Hall.
