Chapter 116: Silence him, must silence him!

"The Wang family? Are you saying Wang Zizai took my older sister away?" Qin Jiang asked.

"I-I don't know. That Wang Laoguai's strength is tyrannical. Jade Three stayed behind to cover, and I ran first," Yu Jiu said, his tongue somewhat thick; his cheeks were already swollen, but he dared not use source power to recover.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, rolled his sleeves, and with a flash of black fire, the group disappeared from the room.

Just after they left, in the underground secret chamber of the Fengyi Pavilion, a woman in purple looked with terror at the crystal ball in front of her that was emitting a dazzling red light; the red even faintly shimmered with black.

This was a crystal ball specially made by the Red Phoenix Division, capable of sensing advanced secret martial artists within a hundred-meter radius who were not on record.

And such a dazzling red light, even shimmering with black, represented... Martial Fate! An expert at the Martial Fate level!

Just now, an expert at the Martial Fate level had descended upon the Fengyi Pavilion and taken Yu Jiu away!

Was it Wang Laoguai? No, that's not right! Wang Laoguai had long known that the Fengyi Pavilion was the territory of the Red Phoenix Division and would not have broken in here.

Moreover, Wang Laoguai's aura should have already been recorded.

That meant that a strange expert at the Martial Fate level had come to Ning'an City! Her heart tightened slightly. The existence of a Martial Fate level expert was no different from a giant rock suddenly crashing into a lake for the current, turbulent Ning'an!

It might even affect their plans with the Golden Jade Pavilion! *No! Must notify Lady Second Phoenix! Lady Second Phoenix is also an expert at the Martial Fate level and will surely have a way to deal with this! *

Long Mansion, Dungeon.

Long Daosheng looked at the figure lying limply on the ground in front of him, holding a pair of jade beads in his hand—the very pair Yu Jiu had been playing with just now.

He raised his hand and looked at the jade beads in his hand with suspicion.

That's right, this was the Green Origin Bead, the signature weapon of Yu Jiu of the Golden Jade Pavilion.

But... he looked at Qin Jiang, who was calmly drinking tea to the side, and couldn't help but speak: "Junior Brother, th-this Yu Jiu, where did you capture him from?"

"Fengyi Pavilion. I left a mark on those siblings that day, and it just happened to be triggered."

Speaking of this, Qin Jiang couldn't help but laugh. He had originally thought he would only be able to catch a Gold Mask, but he hadn't expected an unexpected harvest.

*Hiss~* Long Daosheng looked at Qin Jiang with a constipated expression. *Is that what I was asking you? *

*This is Yu Jiu! A Jade Mask of the Golden Jade Pavilion! Which one of them isn't an advanced secret martial artist of the sixth rank or above? * "Did you poison this Yu Jiu? Or did you get a source artifact?"

He still didn't quite believe that an ordinary secret martial artist could capture a Jade Mask of the Golden Jade Pavilion.

Even if Qin Jiang might already be a sixth-rank secret martial artist now.

The gap between the sixth rank and the seventh rank was not as simple as one or two times! Even with a source artifact, it was almost impossible to bridge!

Qin Jiang was taken aback upon hearing this and reacted. "Senior Brother has a sharp eye. I did accidentally obtain a high-level source artifact and mastered an advanced secret martial art."

There was nothing to hide; the mere fact that a source artifact could recognize a master was enough to extinguish everyone's thoughts.

Not to mention, in the current Ning'an City, who else was his opponent? *Hiss—! * Long Daosheng didn't say a word, walked straight to Yu Jiu, and kicked him unconscious.

He then looked at Qin Jiang, his eyes filled with disbelief. "High-level source artifact! You said you obtained a high-level source artifact!"

Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

Long Daosheng's expression shifted, and then he spoke solemnly. "This matter must not be spoken of outside! That's right, silence him, must silence him! This Yu Jiu cannot be kept."

He was about to strike immediately, but was stopped by Qin Jiang. "Senior Brother, let's interrogate him first. It won't be too late to silence him after the interrogation."

Actually, he didn't care whether he was silenced or not. After all, even if it got out, not to mention that the high-level source artifact was useless to others, just one point remained: who had the strength to take it?

He was actually looking forward to someone coming over to exchange a few blows with him.

Long Daosheng was silent for a moment. "Very well. But Junior Brother, remember! This matter must not be spoken of! Not only to avoid trouble, but there is one more point you must not forget."

"At the end of the year, you still have to compete for the spot for the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist! With two advanced secret martial arts mastered, I cannot imagine how strong you will be when you reach the twelfth rank of secret martial artist!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

From the very beginning, he had known, he had known very clearly, that Qin Jiang would become a peerless expert of a generation! He hadn't expected that in just over a month, he would be able to clearly see that result!

A feeling of fate playing tricks on people lingered in his heart. Qin Jiang's speed of soaring into the sky was truly too fast, to the point that the paths he had paved for him seemed somewhat laughable.

"Alright, I understand."

Qin Jiang agreed with a smile, though his true thought was actually to suppress everyone with his strength and then accept the inheritance of the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist openly and honestly.

As long as he was strong enough, no one could stop him, even if people from the Longevity Sect came.

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

"Then I will have my second brother come back. Perhaps he can truly extract some useful intelligence. Is there anything you want to know? I will have my second brother interrogate it out as well."

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

People like those from the Golden Jade Pavilion, especially the Gold Masks and Jade Masks, were all famously tight-lipped.

I fear that even my second brother might not be able to interrogate much out of him.

"Long... Long Family Head! Don't, don't call Commandant Long back. I will say everything; you can ask whatever you want." Yu Jiu struggled to prop up his body and reached his hand toward Long Daosheng.

Long Daosheng raised his brows upon hearing this and looked at Qin Jiang. Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

"Senior Brother, this Yu Jiu is likely trying to use false intelligence to confuse the situation. In my opinion, it is better to invite Second Senior Brother back."

"Junior Brother's words are very true. These people from the Golden Jade Pavilion are all loyal to the death. To open their mouths so easily, I fear they have other motives. Perhaps your capturing him was all a calculation by the Golden Jade Pavilion," Long Daosheng said.

Yu Jiu's face showed bitterness upon hearing this, his entire face crinkling together.

*I'm not! I'm really not! *

He had an extraordinary background; his mother was the daughter of the current Huai Emperor, and his father was someone who could speak directly to the Huai King. He had only come here to gain some experience.

But who would have thought that he would be captured before he had even made a few moves! And he had been captured in this famous Long family dungeon!

He truly regretted it. He shouldn't have listened to his father back then. What was wrong with being a playboy? Why suffer here?

"That must be the case. I taught Long An some new interrogation methods; perhaps they can be used," Qin Jiang laughed.

"Ah? Those were taught by you!" Long Daosheng jumped out of his acting state.

There was no help for it; the methods Long An had been using recently made even him feel his scalp tingle when he saw them.

Although they wouldn't cause life-threatening danger, they were indeed too torturous, invented entirely for the sake of torture.

But he truly hadn't expected that those methods had been taught to Long An by Qin Jiang!

"Ahem." Qin Jiang coughed twice and picked up his teacup, the steam obscuring his face.

"It was just an exchange, giving some inspiration. It is mainly because Commander Long is quick-witted."

Long Daosheng didn't believe it at all. Long An had been trained by him personally; he knew his temperament better than anyone.

"Hehe... Since the person has been delivered, this Junior Brother will take his leave first."

"Junior Brother, wait. How do you intend to deal with those siblings?"

"Deal with them according to the law."
