Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

116: Silence, silence!”The Wang family? Are you saying Wang Zizai took my sister away?” Qin Jiang asked.

”No, I don’t know. That Old Freak Wang is incredibly strong. Yu San covered our retreat, and I ran first,” Yu Jiu stammered, his cheeks already swollen, but he didn’t dare use his Origin Power to recover.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly. With a sweep of his sleeve, black flames flashed, and the group vanished from the room.

No sooner had they left than in a secret chamber beneath Fengyi Pavilion, a purple-clad woman watched a crystal ball emitting a dazzling red light, her eyes filled with terror. The red light even had a faint black tint.

This was a special crystal ball from the Red Phoenix Division, capable of sensing high-level Secret Martial Artists within a hundred-meter radius who hadn’t been registered.

And such a brilliant red light, even tinged with black, represented...

Martial Destiny! A master of the Martial Destiny level!

Just now, a Martial Destiny-level master had descended upon Fengyi Pavilion and taken Yu Jiu!

Was it Old Freak Wang?

No, that’s not right! Old Freak Wang already knew that Fengyi Pavilion was the Red Phoenix Division’s territory and wouldn’t trespass here.

Moreover, Old Freak Wang’s aura should have been recorded already.

That means a new, unknown Martial Destiny-level master has arrived in Ningan City!

Her heart tightened. A Martial Destiny-level existence, for the currently turbulent Ningan, was like a giant rock suddenly hurled into a lake!

It could even impact their plans with the Jin Yu Pavilion!

No! She must inform Second Phoenix! Second Phoenix is also a Martial Destiny-level master and will surely have a way to deal with this!

Long Manor, dungeon.

Long Daosheng looked at the figure slumped on the ground before him, holding a pair of jade beads—the very ones Yu Jiu had been playing with earlier.

He raised his hand, looking at the jade beads with a hint of suspicion.

That’s right, these were the Azure Origin Beads, the signature weapons of Jin Yu Pavilion’s Yu Jiu.

But... he looked at Qin Jiang, who was calmly sipping tea nearby, and couldn’t help but ask, ”Junior Brother, this... this Yu Jiu, where did you capture him?”

”Fengyi Pavilion. I left a mark on that brother and sister pair earlier, and it just triggered.”

At this, Qin Jiang couldn’t help but smile. He had originally thought he’d only catch a Golden Mask, but he hadn’t expected such an unexpected gain.

Hiss~

Long Daosheng looked at Qin Jiang with a constipated expression. Is that what I asked you?

This is Yu Jiu! Jin Yu Pavilion’s Yu Mian! Aren’t they all high-level Secret Martial Artists above the sixth rank?

”Did you poison this Yu Jiu? Or did you get an Origin Artifact?”

He still couldn’t quite believe that an ordinary Secret Martial Artist could capture a Jin Yu Pavilion’s Yu Mian.

Even if Qin Jiang might now be a sixth-rank Secret Martial Artist.

The gap between the sixth and seventh ranks is not just one or two times as simple! Even with an Origin Artifact, it’s almost impossible to cross!

Qin Jiang was stunned for a moment at his words, then realized, ”Senior Brother has sharp eyes. I did indeed unexpectedly obtain a high-level Origin Artifact and cultivated a high-level Secret Martial Art.”

There was nothing to hide. Just the fact that an Origin Artifact had acknowledged him as its master would dispel everyone’s thoughts.

Moreover, who in Ningan City now could be his opponent?

Hiss—!

Without another word, Long Daosheng walked directly to Yu Jiu and kicked him unconscious.

Then he looked at Qin Jiang, his eyes filled with disbelief, ”High-level Origin Artifact! You said you obtained a high-level Origin Artifact!”

Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

Long Daosheng’s expression shifted several times, then he spoke solemnly, ”You must never speak of this! Yes, yes, eliminate witnesses, we must eliminate witnesses! This Yu Jiu cannot be left alive.”

Immediately, he was about to make a move, but Qin Jiang stopped him, ”Senior Brother, let’s interrogate him first. It’s not too late to eliminate him after the interrogation.”

In truth, he didn’t care whether he eliminated him or not. After all, even if the news spread, leaving aside the fact that taking this high-level Origin Artifact would be useless, who had the strength to take it?

He was actually looking forward to someone coming to exchange pointers with him.

Long Daosheng was silent for a moment, ”Very well. But Junior Brother, you must remember! Never speak of this! Not only to avoid trouble, but there’s one more thing you mustn’t forget.

At the end of the year, you still have to contend for a spot in the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist Legacy! With two high-level Secret Martial Arts, I can’t even imagine how strong you’ll be when you reach the twelfth-rank Secret Martial Artist level!”

At this, he couldn’t help but smile.

From the very beginning, he had known, he had very clearly known, that Qin Jiang would become an unparalleled master!

He hadn’t expected that in just over a month, he could already clearly see that outcome!

A feeling of fate playing tricks on him lingered in his heart. Qin Jiang’s meteoric rise was simply too fast, making the paths he had paved for him seem somewhat laughable.

”Okay, I understand.”

Qin Jiang agreed with a smile, but his true thought was actually to subdue everyone with his strength, and then openly and honorably accept the Legacy of the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist.

As long as he was strong enough, no one could stop him, not even people from the Longevity Sect.

Long Daosheng nodded slightly, then looked at Yu Jiu and woke him up.

”Then I’ll have my second brother come back. Maybe he can really extract some useful intelligence. Is there anything you want to know? I’ll have my second brother interrogate him for it all.”

Although he said this, he didn’t actually hold much hope.

People like those from the Jin Yu Pavilion, especially the Golden Masks and Yu Mian, were notoriously tight-lipped.

He feared that even his second brother might not be able to extract much.

”Long, Long, Long Patriarch! Don’t, don’t call Commander Long back. I’ll tell you everything. Just ask whatever you want,” Yu Jiu struggled to sit up, reaching out a hand towards Long Daosheng.

Long Daosheng raised an eyebrow at his words, then looked at Qin Jiang, who nodded slightly.

”Senior Brother, this Yu Jiu is probably trying to use false information to confuse us. In my opinion, it’s better to invite Second Senior Brother back.”

”Junior Brother is absolutely right. These people from the Jin Yu Pavilion are all fiercely loyal. To speak so easily, they probably have ulterior motives. Perhaps even your capture of him was part of the Jin Yu Pavilion’s scheme,” Long Daosheng said.

Yu Jiu’s face twisted into a bitter expression at his words, his entire face scrunched up.

I’m not! I really am not!

His background was extraordinary; his mother was the daughter of the current King Huai, and his father could even speak directly with King Huai. He had only come here for some experience and to gain some knowledge.

But who would have thought that he would be captured before he even made a few moves! And captured in the notorious Long Manor dungeon!

He really regretted it. He shouldn’t have listened to his father back then. What was wrong with being a dissolute young master? Why suffer here?

”That’s right. I taught Long An some new interrogation methods. Perhaps they can be put to use now,” Qin Jiang said with a smile.

”Ah? You taught him those?!” Long Daosheng immediately broke out of his acting.

He couldn’t help it. The methods Long An had been using recently made even him feel his scalp tingle.

Although they wouldn’t cause life-threatening danger, they were truly too torturous, seemingly invented solely for the purpose of torment.

But he really hadn’t expected that those methods were taught to Long An by Qin Jiang!

”Cough cough.” Qin Jiang lightly coughed twice, picking up his teacup, the steam obscuring his face.

”We just exchanged a few ideas and I gave him some inspiration. Commander Long is mainly quick-witted.”

Long Daosheng looked unconvinced. Long An was someone he had personally trained, and he knew his temperament better than anyone.

”Heh heh. Since the person has been delivered, Junior Brother will take his leave first.”

”Junior Brother, wait. How do you plan to deal with that brother and sister pair?”

”Deal with them according to the law.”
